“Great as usual but went above and beyond in particular this time. I really appreciated her cleaning up after the kitties who had a little accident. I can easily say that I trust her with my two cat kids!”

About: I’ve had and taken care of cats and dogs of all sizes. I love all animals and take pride and joy in helping care for people’s pets I am currently a stay at home mom to a two year old boy and i have open availability most days of the week including weekends. I am very responsible and will be sure to close any gates and keep the dogs on leash I am able to administer medication if needed.

About: I've had dogs all my life, currently I have 2 golden retrievers! I'm experienced with daily walks, feeding routines, playtime and making sure they get plenty of love, attention and always ensuring they feel safe and comfortable. I truly love being around animals and believe they should be treated as part of the family. I'm an elementary teacher in the Bay Shore school district, and I'm looking for a small side job! I don't work during the summer so my availability is very flexible! I'm also open to continuing during the school year but my hours would just become more limited to the afternoon and night. I have a fenced in yard that my dogs are always outside in. They love running around together and playing at all hours of the day.
About: Hi! I’m Ella a lifelong animal lover and dependable local college student who truly enjoys spending time with pets. I’ve helped care for dogs, cats, birds, fish, reptiles, and backyard chickens, and I understand how important it is for pet owners to feel comfortable and confident while they’re away. Whether it’s walks, feeding, playtime, or just keeping pets company I treat every animal with patience, attention, and genuine care. Pet care fits naturally into my daily and weekly routine, and i genuinely enjoy spending time walking, visiting, feeding, and caring for animals of all kinds. I care for pets in your home by following their normal routine, providing walks, feeding, playtime, companionship, and attentive care while owners are working or away.
“Samantha took care of my dog Frankie for a week while we were on vacation out of the country and I couldn’t be happier. She is so caring, so communicative and such a natural. I had complete confidence in her and knew as soon as she met my dog that there was a connection, thank you Samantha!”

About: I have many years of experience in the vet field from my career. I’ve always known that I wanted to take care of animals in a certain way, but being hands on is the best form! I currently work part-time at a pet rehabilitation center and will soon be home full-time to help out around with other pets around my community. I have a fenced in yard and a very sweet fur baby who loves all people, toys, and things and will make friends right away.

“Best cat sitter ever. She genuinely cares as if they were her own pets. I trust her 100% which gives me complete peace of mind when I'm away. Most importantly, "the boys" adore her!”

“We just completed our first week with Samantha and everything went great. Our small cockerspaniel usually can’t adapt to new people and he took to her right away. It is nice to have a trustworthy local person for our family. We would very much recommend Samantha.”


About: I really love animals and spending time with them. I currently work as a dog walker, so I’m used to being around dogs with different personalities, sizes, and energy levels. I also have my own cat, Leyla, so I understand how important it is to trust someone with your pet. I always pay attention to each pet’s needs and routine. Whether it’s feeding, going on walks, playing, or just keeping them company, I make sure they feel safe, comfortable, and loved. I’m responsible, patient, and easy to communicate with. I treat every pet like my own, and their safety and happiness are always my priority. My work shifts end by 3:30 PM, so I am fully available for afternoon and evening care at your home. While my off days vary each week, I am very flexible and can provide dedicated time for walks or house sitting during those days. I am committed to following your pet's specific routine and ensuring they get the attention they need once I am off work. I am a very responsible and alert sitter who prioritizes the safety of your pet and the security of your home. I am extremely careful about locking doors and ensuring your pet is safe and supervised at all times during my visits. I stay in constant communication with owners, providing updates and photos so you can have complete peace of mind while you are away.

About: I have a passion for working with dogs (and cats), especially in training with them. No matter the age or size, I’ll be there to care for them when you need. Even if they have special needs or quirks, I’ll always accommodate I’m currently in-between jobs, but looking for something full time in the early morning, so I can prioritize my passion for a career with dogs! Weekends are available, depending on the time, but I will always try and work something out! No matter the size or age of your pet, I will always try my very best to accommodate! The two cats I have at home are harness trained so I can still provide them outside time. I am very willing to help at home with keeping within the animals needs.
About: I’ve grown up with dogs in my family for 10 years and helped my grandmother care for her three litters of puppies. I’m patient, caring, and love being around dogs. Since I enjoy staying active, I’m also a great fit for pets that need plenty of walks and exercise. I currently work part time and in grad school, so I have flexibility to accommodate most schedules to give your dog the care and attention it needs. I can walk your dog, check in on them, or stay overnight in your home, making sure they feel comfortable and cared for while you’re away.
“"Absolutely incredible experience! Hannah was everything we could have hoped for and more. Our 100-pound Newfoundland, Arto, absolutely adored them. They were reliable, professional, and managed Arto’s size and energy with ease. It’s not always easy to find someone who can handle such a large dog, but Hannah made it look effortless. They kept us updated with pictures and notes, and we could tell Arto was happy, well cared for, and having a great time. We wouldn’t hesitate to book Hannah again—highly recommend!"”

About: My dog is the most important thing to me. Therefore I know what it’s like to worry about whether my fur baby is in good hands. I will treat your baby just as I treat mine and will try to make their time away from you less stressful for both of you. You can be assured that they will be in good hands. Whether it’s for a walk or to take care of them for a couple days. I understand that all pets are different and they all have different needs. I will try to know as much as possible to provide the best service to you and your pet. I have a lot of personal experience with dogs in my own personal life and would love to share that experience with all :)
About: I have taken care of a variety of dog breeds and pets for years. I have been entrusted by neighbors, family, and friends to care for their pets specific needs and wants. No request is too big or small to provide for the joy returned to me whether it's my own fur babies or yours. As an educator I have alot felixability. I am currently free during the weekdays and weekends to board and care for your pet if needed. I have a fenced in backyard with my two dogs, Skittles and Pop-tart to keep your fur-baby company. I can easily crate your pet if you prefer in
About: I've taken care of dogs since I was 10. I currently own a Ridgeback and he's my best friend. I adopted him from a shelter when I was 22, and him and I live a great life together! I've had fearful dogs in past, and know how to handle any type of dog behavior. I currently work remote, so I am available anytime during the day (M-F). My schedule is very flexible and will work to you and pups needs. I learned how to crate train my dog by myself, and raised him through extensive training. I am very knowledgeable with any needs your dog may have. I know how to use any type of collar as well, along with e collars.

About: I’ve been around dogs for as long as I can remember and currently have a 7 year old beagle of my own, so I truly understand how much pets are part of the family. I know how important it is to feel confident that your dog is safe, happy, and well cared for while you’re away. I work locally and come home during the day, which allows me to give pets consistent attention, bathroom breaks, and plenty of love throughout the day. My husband and I own a home on a canal with a fenced in yard, giving dogs a safe and comfortable space to relax and play. I’m very active and a long distance runner, so I’m happy to provide walks, runs, and plenty of exercise (especially for high energy pups who need to burn it off). At the same time, I’m attentive to each dog’s individual needs, whether that means extra playtime or a more relaxed, calm environment. I’m comfortable caring for dogs of all ages and can administer medication if needed. My goal is always to treat your pet like family and make sure they feel safe, loved, and right at home. I can’t wait to meet you and your pup! My schedule revolves around caring for dogs since I already plan my day around my own pup. I work locally and come home during the day, so I’m able to give regular potty breaks, walks, and attention. Evenings are for walks and playtime and I make sure every dog feels comfortable and never left for long periods of time. I try to keep the same routine on weekends as well, as consistency makes pets feel right at home. I focus on creating a safe, calm, comfortable environment whether pets or in my home or theirs. In my home, dogs are treated as part of the family with tons of attention, consistency, and supervised play time on our fenced in yard. For drop ins and walks, I stick closely to their usual routine so they feel at ease. I’m mindful of safety inside and outside the home such as leash awareness, home safety, and following given instructions. I also have experience administering medication and prioritize trust and communication.
