Pet Sitting Mott Haven

About: (PLEASE KEEP READING FOR LATENESS INFO AND PRICING). Hello, everyone! I am a college student who has more than 10 years of personal experience with a variety of dogs. I've raised and taken care of Rottweilers, Pitbulls, Dalmatians and Labradors in the past and currently own a 9 year old Labrador/Pitbull mix and 2 Rottweiles. I thoroughly enjoy taking care of dogs on my free time as I work out with my own. There's a big park with a dog run right next to me so your baby will always be taken care of and I also keep an AC in the living room for the hotter days. In addition to that, I have worked with dogs with separation anxiety and am very aware of the struggles dealing with that so I always make sure when I take a Rover booking, that the dog is never alone in the house. Furthermore, I have no issues sending pictures and videos of your baby as we all would like to know how our babies are doing when we are not with them. Thank you so much for taking a look at my services and feel free to book me up! FYI, I am very comfortable and very good with big and strong doggos :-). I take pleasure in giving your baby one on one time withNL NO OTHER DOGS at the same time as yours so that they can fully enjoy their time I go to school online so I am able to be with pets 24/7. I also make sure that pets do not stay alone ever while in my care. I do ask however, for clients to stick to their drop-off and pick-up times to respect my time as I respect theirs and their pets', and to avoid any late fees or extra charges. LATENESS: To accommodate for my time and services, this is the lateness , cancelation and time change policy: 3 days in advance for full refund and no additional charges for changes.

DOGGY DAYCARE 1 DAY ONLY DOG MUST BE DROPPED OFF BY 10AM AND PICKED UP BY 8PM (I HAVE FLEXIBILITY IF NEEDED), LATE FEES WILL APPLY AT $25 PER 15 MINUTES OF LATENESS AND UP TO 2 HOURS.

THIS WILL ONLY BE REDUCED OR WAIVED WITH A PROPERLY DOCUMENTED, UNFORSEEABLE, UNAVOIDABLE EMERGENCY, AND ULTIMATELY ALSO AT MY DISCRETION. THANK YOU FOR UNDERSTANDING. Though my dog is friendly, I have a dog cage where my dog sleeps and which separates my own from other owner's pets for safety.

“Travis and Mel are excellent and on point. Thank you.”

About: We've cared for dogs of all ages, including senior pets and energetic puppies. We are patient, reliable, and treat every pet like family. We have experience with medication administration, basic training, and understanding different temperaments. Your pet's comfort and safety are our top priorities. Pet care fits perfectly into our routine since we both work part-time and are home often. This allows us to provide consistent attention, timely walks, playtime, and lots of love throughout the day. We enjoy being active, so we’re always up for fetch, long walks, or just snuggling on the couch. Our flexible schedules also allow us to accommodate last-minute bookings or special care needs. Safety and trust are our top priorities. At our home, pets enjoy a fully fenced-in yard with plenty of grassy space to play and explore safely. We have one friendly Cavalier King Charles Spaniel who loves making new furry friends and is gentle and playful. We always take time to understand each pet’s needs and routines.

“Very communicative, responsible, and my kitty loved her! :)”

About: I've been around dogs since I was a toddler. Growing up with them has given me good experiences. When knowing behavioral signals like if they are uncomfortable. I'm good at keeping dogs well entertained and having fun. I've also had experience with senior dogs and as well as cats. I also have got to witness dog training from puppies to adult dogs because of my mother. I am open everyday Monday- Sunday if you don't have time to walk or feed your pet no problem I'm there! Always glad to help. I live in a building with a dog park close by so they will spend a lot of their time at the park. I have a puppy who loves new friends so they will have a friend to play with. They will have plenty of room to run and play and burn off energy. As for at the clients home, I will find a nearby park if its not raining and before heading home and having many pets and snuggles and playing in the house

“Cristin has watched my cats twice and has been wonderful both times. She’s super communicative and thorough with her check-ins. I know my cats are well taken care of while I’m gone when she’s watching them.”

About: Hello wonderful pet parent, my name is Briana! As a Certified Pet Caregiver living in Bronx, NY, I have been taking care of family dogs (Chatty Huskies, Loving Pitties, and Playful Great Danes) on and off for nearly 8 years, and I personally have raised my now passed on furbaby cat for 17 years. I have basic knowledge of Pet CPR and are undergoing full training so I could also be fully certified in that skill set as well. I’m also going to update my Pet Sitter Course certification before the 2025 year ends. If given the chance to take care of your furry friend, I will provide your pet with upmost care and make sure your pet is safe and comfortable under my care. I am actually a freelancer and own my own business, so pet sitting and dog walking your furbaby is no problem of me to do! It also gives me the opportunity to not be cooped up in the house working and get some exercise haha! Services And Training: Certified Pet Sitter/Dog Walker from online training course: PetSitterCourse. I have experience with maintaining pet health, am comfortable giving oral/ injected/ eye drop medication to pets, facilitating exercise, and cleaning litter boxes. **Please know that while I can administer Insulin and and low volume injected medication to pets, I am not trained in giving high volume subcantuous fluids to pets!** I have professional dog walking experience using a pet service app called Wag!.

“Denise is great! She was very patient with my very shy cat, and had him chasing toys and purring in no time! She was very responsive to questions and sent me lots of great pictures.”

About: I enjoy leading an active lifestyle, being outdoors and in nature. In fact, that's why dogs have 4 legs-so they can experience more of the benefits of walking! My goal is to care for your dog as if my own child and to provide a SAFE time for play, so you have peace of mind. Also, I'm currently learning a lot about dog care & behavior from YouTube University 😄 It's rewarding to be responsible for taking care of someone's loved one-even for a nice short walk. Being around dogs is therapy and makes me feel like a playful kid all over again 💩 I'm always down to set up a meet & greet so we can chat about hobbies, food and more doggy details. Currently, I have a flexible schedule and always make time for going on walks, preferably afternoon and evenings. 👉🏻Tips for your dog that keeps pulling 🐕‍🦺 🐾 When the dog is walking in front it's the one in charge, that's no good 🐾 You want a loose leash dog at your side 🐾 Be aware of your BL. Don't tense up, be calm with relaxed shoulders 🐾 Short sideways tug of leash, if you want to change directions and take the lead 🐾 Use a firm 'NO', don't worry it's healthy Remember, practice and patience are 🗝️ I want to advocate for dogs because it's our public doodoo. It's meaningful for me to help protect our pets as this gives me a sense of pride and joy.

“Neil C is a very nice person who quite evidently cares deeply about dogs. He was very communicative, punctual and honest. We have a big dog, who can be quite single minded, but Neil took her in his stride. Thank you Neil, for your patience and time.”

About: I have extensive hands-on experience caring for dogs of all ages, including senior dogs with unique needs. I cared for my own dog for 17 years until he passed in 2024, which gave me valuable experience with daily care routines, mobility support, medication awareness, patience, and recognizing changes in behavior or health. Caring for a senior dog taught me the importance of consistency, gentle attention, and creating a calm, loving environment where pets feel safe, comfortable, and cared for. I understand how important it is to treat every pet with the same care, patience, and attention I would want for my own. In addition, I regularly support a friend by feeding, walking, and caring for his dog when he is working late or out of town. This has given me ongoing experience with leash walking, feeding schedules, and making sure dogs feel safe, comfortable, and well cared for. I am reliable, attentive, and committed to following each dog’s specific needs and instructions to provide the best possible care. I work a hybrid schedule, which allows me to consistently build pet care into my week and provide dependable attention. On in-office days, I make sure pets are cared for before and after work with reliable morning and evening walks or drop-ins before and after work. On remote days, I have more flexibility for midday walks, check-ins, and companionship. I prioritize making sure pets feel comfortable, cared for, and on a steady routine, and I plan my schedule around their needs so they receive consistent, attentive care without feeling rushed. When caring for pets in a client’s home, I prioritize safety, comfort, and consistency. I follow all owner instructions carefully, including feeding schedules, walks, litter box care, medication (if needed), and any specific routines or preferences. I aim to keep pets in their normal routine as much as possible so they feel calm, secure, and comfortable in their environment. For dogs, I ensure safe leash handling, stay alert on walks, and choose appropriate routes based on their energy and needs. For cats, I provide gentle care, clean litter boxes, and give them space and attention based on their personality. I treat every home with respect and make sure pets are never left without proper care during their scheduled visits.

“Alice and Ethan were amazing. They were thorough and kept me updated the whole time with how my cat was doing. I 100% recommend them for your sitter needs.”

“Sam did a great job with my two dogs. Made the effort to come meet them while I was home. Was very reliable and kept me informed of how they did during his visits. Would definitely recommend Sam!”

Peter M.

“Jaixa has done it again!! I had a last minute international trip and she was so accommodating and was able to check up on Fuji regardless. She was reliably updating me, sending me pics daily, and was so gracious through a small nipping incident when Fuji got excited (sorry again!). I returned to a happy healthy clean kitty who I'm pretty sure did not miss me at all and wonders where Jaixa went :D You're the best Jaixa!”

Jenny Z.

“This is the second time Secret has watched over our cats and we're just as impressed as the first time. She even remembered their feeding details from a year ago! It makes being away stress-free, knowing the care she continues to show our kitties and our home. Until next time!”

About: I’m currently a mom to a 5 year old chiweenie who I’ve raised since he was 3 months old :) additionally, I’ve fostered dogs of all kinds and have become great at adapting to each dog’s individual needs. From puppies to seniors to special needs dogs, I’ve cared for them all. I am very flexible Friday through Monday. I work from home Mondays and Fridays, and I am home on most weekends and would be happy to care for your pup. My apartment is very safe and generally “proofed” for dogs. I have a crate for my own dog and am happy to crate your dog if needed.

“Ryan was very kind and communicative; and very responsive. Our cats (including our shy cat) trust him and like him a lot. It was a pleasure working with Ryan!”

Elena R.

“Brandon and his husband were absolutely amazing! I had to leave unexpectedly out of state and they were so sweet and to take care of my pup/cat on short notice. On top of that Brandon would always send me updates and even took care of them when I was delayed in making it home. Simply the best! 10/10 highly recommend!”
