Pet Sitting North Merrick

About: I have 20+ years of experience taking care of dogs from puppies to seniors. I had four dogs of my own growing up which I took a hands on role in caring for and playing with. I currently have 2 dogs whom I love! I have looked after dogs for both friends and family. I am reliable, trustworthy, playful and will look after your fur babies as if they were my own. I'm currently working part time, so I have plenty of time to care for and play with your pups & cats. I am able to make myself available on weekdays and weekends. I offer drop in visits for both dogs and/or cats, dog walking and overnight stays at the client's home when needed. I have experience with puppies & kittens up to seniors. I have had both dogs and cats of my own. I love animals and it would be a privilege to care for your dogs and cats.

About: Hi, I'm Lauren! I've always had a genuine love for animals and grew up caring for my own dog of many years. I've been around animals all my life, including the pets of friends, family, and neighbors, and I've continued gaining experience caring for animals ever since. That includes multi-day stays with my uncle's dog as well as multiple sitting sessions for my mother's co-worker's dog. I'm comfortable with feeding, walking, playtime, and providing attentive, compassionate care while respecting each animal's individual boundaries and personality. As a lifelong animal lover, I bring patience, reliability, and authentic affection to every visit. I want to provide that care for you and your family, with no stress, so you can always know your pet is in good hands. I look forward to giving your pet the same care, attention, and love I would want for my own! I'm a recent nursing graduate and licensed RN, and I'm currently building my nursing career while offering pet care as a way to stay active and do something I truly enjoy. I have a flexible schedule with plenty of availability, so I can give your pet consistent, attentive care and respond efficiently to your needs! I provide care in my clients' homes, where pets are most comfortable and stay on their usual routine. During each visit, I take care of your pet's basic needs, including feeding, fresh water, walks, and playtime, and I give plenty of attention and affection. I pay close attention to each pet's comfort and personality and adjust my care to whatever they need, so they feel safe and relaxed while you're away!

“So happy that we found Jenny! She is absolutely wonderful! We know that Shea is in good hands with her. She gives us peace of mind. Thank you 🙏”

“Julia was amazing with my cat! From the moment we connected, she was communicative, professional, and clearly a true animal lover. While I was away, she sent the sweetest updates and photos that genuinely made my day—my cat looked so happy and relaxed with her! She went above and beyond to make sure he was well-fed, played with, and comfortable. I came home to a happy, calm cat and everything in perfect order. It gave me such peace of mind knowing he was in such caring hands. I would 100% book with Julia again and highly recommend her to anyone looking for a reliable and kind sitter!”

About: We are a family of dog lovers! My husband and I both grew up with dogs, and though we don’t have pets currently, our love of dogs keeps us pet sitting and dog walking around our neighborhood. We have 3 young children who absolutely adore dogs, and love taking responsibility in taking care of them when we are pet sitting. We have a lot of snuggles to give your pups, and lots of walks to take them on, too! I am a stay at home mom so our schedule is pretty flexible! We are up early, and outside often. Any timing should be fine for us to work around. We have a fenced in yard with plenty of space for your fur baby. We can play fetch with your pup, give them lots of snuggles, and plenty of walks!

About: I’ve always been someone who loves dogs and have always gotten along with dogs of all breeds, sizes, and temperament. Friends and family have always known they can rely on me for dog care. I am a recent college graduate currently in a transition phase of my life. I am free for weekday late morning/early afternoon walks with your dog. I have very sturdy reliable leashes to ensure the safest possible walks for your dogs. I also carry water to help keep your dog hydrated during walks especially on hot days.

About: I started caring for dogs on Rover back in college. I have cared for over 25 different furry friends at this point - and look forward to anytime one returns or I get to meet a new one. Both my mom and I are two dog lovers, and we work as a team to make sure that each dog that comes and stays with us feels safe, comfortable, and loved while they await their owner. I am currently a full time accountant and work hybrid. On days where I have to go into the office my mom takes over responsibilities. I like having dogs around because they give me an excuse to get out of my chair and walk outside, also generally as a family we just enjoy the company of them. I am a really big dog lover of all shapes and sizes. I live at home with my parents and my brother. We have a large house with plenty of room, and typically I let the dog decide where they want to “set up”. If they prefer to sleep alone downstairs i set up their bed there, if they’re used to sleeping in the bedroom they’re welcome to do that as well.

“Cynthia os very sweet and took care of Lale with lots of attention and love. She os thoughtful, fed Lale, cleaned up after her and sent lots of photos. I will certainly book Cynthia again. Thank you so much!”

I have always had a love for dogs and have watched some of my family and friends dogs for about 2 years and now have my own! I am ambivert. I love the outdoors, playing, and having energy to run and have a great time with mine and your pets. I have a backyard ready to play in and I also live 5 minutes from a trail.

As a dog owner myself I understand the value in having a safe, comfortable, and fun space for your beloved pet. I get it, leaving your pet with someone new can be daunting but I’m here to make sure to give you a peace of mind. I handle everything from food, water, and play time with caution as if it were my own baby (dog).

About: I have taken care of dogs for family and friends since my late twenties. I have experience with puppies as well as senior dogs. For many years I lived and cared for a paralyzed pug who never let his special needs stop him from living a happy life. He used a wheelchair, went on long stroller walks, participated in dog walks and events, took both oral and injected medications regularly and had to have his bladder expressed. Each new health issue was just another learning experience. I have since been certified in pet first aid and never shy away from caring for a pet with special health needs. I am currently working full time and can provide pet boarding only on weekends since I’m not home during the weekday until the evening. Dog Walking and drop-ins I am available weekends as well and evenings M-F I have a large 2 bedroom apartment with no pets of my own right now so your pets will get lots of attention and can relax freely.. I don’t have a yard but can easily walk your dog around my quiet neighborhood where there are plenty of parks and dog parks we can go to for exercise. I love going on walks and being outside so if your pet is up for it there is plenty of opportunity for exercise and exploring.

“Brianna was wonderful! I was pleased that she brought a notebook to take notes of details on the meet & greet. She took care of all the basic refills and scooping and took the time to play with the little guys. She was consistent on the time of day she arrived and sent photos every day. We will definitely book her again.”

I love playing with the animals. I also enjoy petting. I can give then baths and do their nails. I'm also able to shave them if you would like. I've had pets all my life so I am able to deal with pets. I feel like pets should be treated like humans because they have feelings just like we do. Many people don't understand animals but I think it's easy all they want is love and attention. I’m currently free everyday of the week at any time so I can work with the schedule you choose to provide me with it’s no issue I don’t have a fenced yard but the little babies will go for a walk three or 4 times through out the day so that’s a plus.

About: What sets me apart from other sitters is my lifelong love for animals, hands-on experience, and education in animal care and grooming. I’ve had pets my entire life and understand how important it is to make every pet feel safe, comfortable, and loved while their owners are away. I currently have an Aussiedoodle puppy and a Maine Coon cat, so I have experience with both dogs and cats, including the patience and attention that young pets require. I also have a backyard and plenty of space to provide a comfortable environment for your furry or furless babies! I’m attentive to each pet’s individual needs, personality, and routine, and I’m happy to provide lots of love, playtime, and care. Your pets will be treated like family, and I’ll do my best to give you peace of mind knowing they’re in caring, capable hands. I just finished school so I will have plenty of time to take care of your precious ones. I’m available any weekday. weekends I’m available in the morning I like to keep pets on a consistent routine so they feel comfortable, safe, and loved. I start the day with a potty break, followed by feeding according to their usual schedule. After breakfast, we spend about 25 minutes outside enjoying some fresh air, playtime, and exercise. I always clean up after them and make sure they have access to water. After outdoor time, we head inside for some cuddles, affection, and relaxation! I provide at least one walk a day, with additional potty breaks and outdoor time in my backyard as needed. I adjust my care to each pet’s age, energy level, and individual needs, while following the owner’s instructions as closely as possible. Whether it’s playtime, walks, meals, or snuggles, I want every pet to feel right at home!
