Pet Sitting & Drop Ins in Mariners Harbor, Staten Island, NY

About: Welcome to the number one pet vacation destination east of the Mississippi, where all your dog has to bring is its love for everything. All non-aggressive dogs welcome. Your loved one will not miss you as much as you would like at this heavenly dog retreat. Dog play is encouraged and at times photographed. If your dog is a loner, we will provide a place where being left alone is not a challenge. Off-site afternoon excursions are the talk of the town. We have partnered up with many of the local wildlife to ensure the most exclusive spots are at our disposal. Guests are elated by the freedom to be themselves and appreciate the lenient dress code. Stories of their stays turn into folklore, that lingers on in whispers for generations. Regardless of what is on the menu one thing is certain, your furry friend will come home happy and with a little bit of luck, tired. Standard amenities include but not limited to: Lots of love Just about non stop companionship Scratching and petting Walks Chariot training (aka pulling me on a skateboard) Indoor/Outdoor fun Couches/Beds Purified Water Photo Shoots (questionable photography skills) Medication/special dietary needs Any questions/concerns will be answered in a timely manner. No question is too silly The day starts with dogs begging me to get out of bed. I’m easily convinced. Coffee time. Some sit on my lap while others play. We giggle over yesterday’s adventures and talk about what else is in store. We are excited. We say we will go out for 1 hour, knowing it always turns in to 3 or 4 or….more. It’s always fun. So much fun. We go near and far. We run like maniacs. We explore new lands. Sometimes not getting home until after dark. Forming life long bonds to friends we may never see again. We feast. Some of us rest while we watch the others continue to dance the night away. This was the best day ever! I can’t believe we get to do this again tomorrow!!! All go through a vetting process to ensure there are no poopers in our party. Nicholas is an expert in dog behavior. He easily reads the needs of every guest and keeps the environment comfortable for all. Free roaming of the facilities is allowed until lights out. Crates are available if desired. We all sleep together (separate beds….for the most part).

About: I’ve cared for animals for 10+ years. I am currently a veterinary assistant and will treat your animal with love & respect! I am experienced with animal care in every aspect. I currently work as a veterinary assistant 4 days on overnights, I have open availability and am constantly caring for animals between work and home life! I always take my dogs for long walks as well as play with them for hours on end, and my cats (much older) get constant care for their health issues. I always insure they are cared for in a clean environment and put them before anything!

“Book Karen!!! Karen was very helpful with my three cats on several occasions when I had last minute plans to go away. One of the cats is a senior with Hyperthyroidism and needs daily medication administered (in pill pockets or food). Super fast communication, flexibility, easy to work with - just all you really need in a quality pet sitter. Thank you for all your help, Karen!”

“Corinne is and has always been a phenomenal caretaker for animals. She has always had a dog (or two) in her life, amongst other pets that she cared for with great attention to detail. She has fostered dogs who had been saved from perilous lifestyles. She turned their life around and opened their eyes to a world of love. She is very responsible and caring. I highly recommend her for any of your pets needs!”

About: I've trained two huskies in a house with two cats. Huskies are known for their stubbornness and even so, my two guys have grown up to be great companions. All they ever needed was the plenty of exercise their breed demands, jobs to fulfill their instinct, toys, and incentive via treats to learn right and wrong. We believe in a positive reinforcement training method that rewards wanted behaviors and dogs are smart enough to realize what gets them paid in treats. We now have a great home with multiple pets living harmoniously and respecting each others boundaries. I firmly believe since we were able to accomplish that with what many people claim is a 'difficult' breed, we have the needed knowledge and ability to tackle any pet related situation. My partner and I have varying schedules so we are a complete 24/7 service. I work nights and my partner works from home during the day so either one of us or both of us are always available to be with your puppy at all times. We have a 3 bedroom, 3 floor detached home with a fenced yard and screen porch. We have two friendly, socialized, and well-trained huskies at home that will make for great play companions for your fur baby. We can also have our home sectioned off in situations where your pup would feel more comfortable having their own space and crates of varying sizes available (If needed only. We wouldn't use them unless preferred by you.) We go on regular long walks and live an active lifestyle comprised of playtime in the yard, engaging mind games inside for the rainy days, and frequent trips to the dog park. We believe a dog deserves the best life possible so they are allowed on our furniture and bed and we simply deal with it by cleaning frequently because it's worth it for them. Of course, if you prefer we keep them off furniture, we will accommodate that.

“Roberto is one of the best house sitters I've had! He was kind, attentive, and super responsive when I had questions about our dog. He would send me updates about our pup and take pictures. I felt at ease knowing he was being cared for so well. Thank you for all your help!”
