“Our pup, Dustin, absolutely loves Dean! He took great care of him and we were able to rest easy on our trip knowing that Dustin was in good hands. Dean is communicative, responsive, and punctual. I can’t recommend him enough”

About: I’ve been around dogs my entire life and have cared for pets belonging to family, friends, and neighbors over the years. Through those experiences I’ve learned that every dog has a different personality, routine, and comfort level, and I always try to make them feel safe and at home. I’ve also cared for senior dogs, including administering injectable medication to my own dog when she became diabetic, which taught me patience, attention to detail, and the importance of following care instructions carefully. Whether your dog is energetic or prefers a quiet environment, I’ll provide attentive care, regular walks, potty breaks, playtime, and plenty of updates so you can feel confident while you’re away. My schedule allows me to provide pets with plenty of attention throughout the day, so they won’t spend long periods alone. I plan my schedule around each booking to maintain your pet’s normal routine, including feeding times, potty breaks, walks, playtime, and rest. I believe consistency helps dogs feel comfortable, especially when they’re away from home, and I’ll always keep you updated with photos and messages during their stay. Your pet’s safety and comfort are my top priorities. I provide a clean, calm, and organized home where every pet receives individual attention. Before each stay, I take time to learn your pet’s routine, personality, and any special needs so I can provide the best possible care. Since I don’t have a fenced yard, every walk and potty break is supervised, and I never leave pets outside unattended. I’ll also keep you updated with photos and messages throughout their stay so you always know how they’re doing.

About: I’ve been taking care of pets since I was a child. I always felt if you love animals then you should help be their voice and make sure they are taken care of. I do a rotating schedule at the hospital in Nassau . I can discuss my schedule when a client needs my assistance/service with their babies needs. I will gladly come to your home in your babies environment and keep them company while you enjoy your vacation. They will always be comfortable in my care.😊

“Carrie was an amazing walker and companion for my dog Ruby! She went above and beyond, walked her, played with her, took multiple pictures so I felt like I was there, even brought in my mail. Carrie’s help made my week so much better. Thank you, Carrie!”

“Allie was incredible to our two fur babies! She spent lots of time walking them, giving them pats and playing fetch. The dogs absolutely loved here and bonus, she takes incredible photos of the kids!! Will definitely be booking her again!”

About: As a dog mom of two, I understand how stressful it can be to entrust your pet's care to someone else. Please know I am happy to follow detailed instructions or just shower your pet with love at potty breaks. I trained my two from puppyhood and have given them minor grooming services (brushing, bathing, ear cleaning). I am patient and willing to build trust with your beloved pet. I am taking a break from the professional world and pursuing my CPA remotely. Caring for your pets will allow me to step away from the desk and have some fun. I provide constant supervision when pets are outdoors for safety. We do not have small children in the home, so the chances of chewing plastics is low. My dogs are crate trained in the event your pets needs a break or time to warm up to the new spaces.

Unfortunately, these days change every week, but I usually have my schedule for a month in advance. I live in a house on a couple acres that is surrounded by trees, so there are lots of little critters to look at from the front porch! my dog and i spend a lot of time outdoors, whether we are going to the beach or on walks.
