About: Hello & welcome, my name is Apryl. As a lifetime animal lover & pet parent my focus is caring for animal(s) with love & respect. I specialize in 1 on 1 care (I only take multiple pet guests when they are from the same household) Currently, I am a hound mom to a 6 yr old Retired racing Greyhound, Issac Newton. I have exemplary loving experience caring for many types of dogs & cats. Whatever your pet loves: walks, quiet cuddles or anything in between, I pride myself on connecting to your beloved companion on their level. I shower my pet clients with love at every opportunity! My entire routine focuses on petcare first. I am an artist/energy therapist and spend my days with the animals in my care. I am avaliable for boarding, walks & playdates 7 days/week. When boarding a pet in my home I have a Pawsguest room which is a playroom & bedroom with room for your pet's bed, crate or both. If you prefer care in your home I will provide care based on your specifications and treat your home & beloved pet with kindness, respect & cleanliness.

About: All my life I have lived with cats. My dream pet would be a mini pig, I truly love all animals (except bugs lol). I have taken care of 4 indoor cats throughout my life, over 20 outdoor cats and I've helped out my neighbors by walking their dogs. Every walk I take any pup on I make sure to bring my pooper scooper (with bags of course), a portable water bowl, some balls, a spare leash, collar lights (in case I'm walking the pup at night), and some treats! And for the kitties, I'll bring a variety of cat toys! When your pet is with me I can guarantee they will be well taken care of! I currently am a stay at home mom of a beautiful 3 year old so my schedule is pretty flexible to take care of any of your animals needs! My cats are always happy and healthy. I made sure to get almost everything I feel would be necessary to ensure the animals I take care of them they will be safe and happy.

“Chelsea is reliable and consistent. She helped me out when I was overseas and had to leave my dog at my mother’s house. She was always quick to respond and kept the schedule even when my mother and I mixed up our days. Chelsea was a godsend for me and my dog and I am forever grateful. Jen G”


About: Looking for the perfect person to care for your pet this summer? Look no further! My name is Justine and I have been caring for pets my entire life. Walking, exercising, basic grooming, training, I do it all! When your pet is with me, I will care for him/her as if they are my own. Communicating with you about all your petcare preferences, I will assure you that you can be at ease leaving your little love behind. Furthermore, I will update you with pictures of all your pets snuggles and adventures! I have experience with all kinds of pets, all ages, dietary restrictions, special needs, etc. My own dog, Oaklin, I trained to be a therapy dog and he used to work with me at a school. He is extremely friendly and if you are booking for your dog, he would love to tag along for a puppy play date (which is excellent for socialization and helps ease separation anxiety). Please let me know if you would like to book Oaklin as well for your dog's drop-in visit or walk. I always bring Oaklin on overnights with me, as I am a single dog mom myself. From June 28-August 8th I have open availability! Currently, I am a teacher, so I'm only available 5 PM or later on weekdays, and occasionally on weekends until June 28th. . I have cared for pets with varrying energy levels, ages, training, interests, and health conditions. When I care for your pet, I will treat it as if it is my own. I will be an extention of you while you are away to keep things as normal for your pet as possible. Let's chat about your pets needs and figure out what works best for your pet.

About: I lived in a house with dogs from birth to age 18, so I know how to play with them and keep them amused, set them at ease, and care for them in their senior years. My wife prefers cats to dogs, so since our marriage we have only had cats, and I very much miss the company of dogs. I currently have one dog client in the area, but I am hoping for more. I am also a volunteer at Sav-A-Pet in Port Jefferson Station. I recently retired from my career in the pharmaceutical industry, and I now have time to devote to looking after furry friends. Although I vacation a few times a year, I am otherwise available. I will strictly obey the rules set forth by my clients and honor their wishes regarding their pet's care and the care of their home.

About: Super caring, reliable and responsible. I’ll treat your furbaby like my own! I’ve had dogs and cats since childhood and began walking my neighbor’s dogs at age 9. Making money doing something I truly love has always been especially rewarding. I’m experienced with all sizes, breeds, ages and temperaments. Some of the breeds I’ve rescued, fostered and cared for include Pointers, Terriers, Retrievers, Chihuahuas, Doodles, Bulldogs, Mutts and designer dogs. As well as cats, bunnies birds and reptiles. I love them all equally! I take whatever approach necessary to tailor my care and attention to match your pup’s needs, whether they are high energy or easy breezy…I will be sure to provide a great experience for them. Your dog and I can go for walks or hang in your yard. Go on play dates or spend quality time…a one on one game of fetch or just snuggles. Regardless, your baby will always be safe and happy in my care. My goal is to provide a loving atmosphere where your pup is always my priority. I’m currently available to do home visits and walks at your home after 5pm and until 9pm on Monday, Tuesday, Wednesday & Thursday. Available 8am to 9pm Friday, Saturday and Sunday. I can make multiple home visits per day if needed. I’m happy that stay at your home to care for your pets while you’re away. Available 7 days a week. Available for boarding Thursday after 5pm, Friday, Saturday & Sunday for 24 hr boarding, also doggy day-care in my home and for walks. I can also do pick-ups and drop-offs. I live in a multi-level town house with a large fenced patio area together with my Chihuahua and my dog-loving, former, stray cat. My furry friends will receive tons of affection and nice long walks throughout their stay. Your pups are welcome to roam free while they are my guests. I also invite them to hang in my fully furnished basement, known as the Wags Lounge, set up to accommodate multiple dogs at a time. Furnished with a large sofa, fluffy dog beds, soft blankets, snuggle floor mats, tons of toys, fresh filtered water, treats, cool A/C, flatscreen TV and streaming music or stress relieving sounds for those nervous visitors. I also have crates available for those who prefer to sleep crated. I am located on a beautiful, gated property with endless grass and trees, perfect for long walks in a super dog-friendly community. My priority is to provide a safe, comfortable and relaxing environment while caring for your baby during their stay! My property is under exterior/interior surveillance to ensure their safety at all times. I’ll even send you updates including pics and details of their experience while in my care so you can rest easy that your pup is in good hands!


“I’ve used Emily in the past and she is awesome. My dog loves her. This last visit she helped me out last minute and really saved me. I recommend her to anybody and will definitely be using her anytime I go away.”

About: I have worked with both high energy dogs and senior dogs. I also have experience working with young puppies and ensuring all dogs are well cared for. I currently have a very flexible schedule and am able to work with the pet parent (s) to figure out the best schedule for them and their pet! I have two high energy black labs, and I always make sure they are staying active with daily walks, fetch outside or in the pool along with mental stimulation (lick mats, toys, training and puzzles). One of my dogs struggles with allergies and other health issues, so I am always in tuned to their health.


“Unfortunately with my job they’ve been making me work 12 hour days… I am so thankful for the help that you have given me! Lola is my baby and has been by my side for nine years! Thank you for making this process so much easier!!!”

Apryl P.
“I have a large, extremely temperamental dog who can certainly be challenging. It is very difficult securing quality care for him. Apryl has cared for him on quite a few occasions . She’s like a dog whisperer! Her calm welcoming, loving atmosphere allows me to feel comfortable when Valentino is in her care. She gives her canine guests healthy attention in a safe environment. I can’t thank her enough for the peace of mind I have knowing she is caring for my fur child! Thank you, Thank you, Thank you!!”

Justine G.
“Justine Galante, has pet sit for me for years and is so loving and caring. When I had my dachshund, Lucy she would bath her, play with her and deeply loves animals. Now I have a poodle mix named, Daisy she plays with Justines Australian Sheppard. She brushes her out and walks her. Daisy, gets so excited seeing Justine. Can't ask for any better person to care for your pet. She is a teacher and loves children too. Thanks so much, Regina Ledwith”


Robert W.
“To be totally upfront, Bob is my brother and not a friend. So I am far from unbiased in this. On the other hand, having grown up with him I'm more than familiar with his history with pets. Growing up we had dogs and cats and birds and hamsters, etc in the household. He is very comfortable around household pets and deals with them in a very patient, reliable and kind manner. He's even good with finicky cats, as he and his spouse of many years have two in their home. You probably know from his application that he has a graduate degree from Columbia and has recently retired after many years of employment. In short (and in my somewhat biased opinion), he's a portrait in responsibility and will undoubtedly treat any animals assigned to him with kindness and exceptional care. Any animals left in his care will be in good hands”


Victoria S.
“Victoria is one of the most thoughtful, skilled and devoted caregivers I have ever met. She truly loves and connects with each pet she cares for, always paying close attention to their individual needs so they are all happy and healthy. I can always rely on her for help and the best caregiving advice. Her sharp intuition, experience, and passion make her the most trustworthy caregiver anyone could ask for.”

Whether it’s feeding, walking, or just spending time with them, Yahui does it all with great care and dedication.
