About: I'm a dog & cat lover. Dog is the most loyal company of humans. I like them smell so hard like they can’t help themselves, I like their soft paws, I love them kiss me a little bit, but not too much. I don’t like they always try to run outside for no reason.

In our family, pets are not just companions, they are cherished members of our household. We all have a deep affection for cats and dogs, delighting in the time spent playing with them. Our children especially enjoy interacting with our furry friends. They will have fun in our house. We regularly inspect our home for potential hazards to ensure that our pets do not come into contact with harmful substances or dangerous areas. Maintaining a clean and hygienic environment is a priority; therefore, we routinely clean the areas where our pets live. Additionally, we provide appropriate toys and ample space for activities to meet our pets' exercise and entertainment needs. I’m self employed, time is flexible.

“Amy is very nice attentive friendly and caring . Stitch hurt his eye days before her visit and was very tender to his needs. Very responsive ! Thank you Amy!”
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.
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.
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.
“Kalista is such a charming woman. My Ozzy absolutely adores her. And she really came through for me when I was in a bind. She's a very compassionate person. I'm so lucky to have met her.”
“Cecelia is wonderful and has been a god send as our recent work schedule changes left us unable to give our sweet boy the mid-day time and attention he needs. She always sends updates and pics after her daily walks with Kylo and asks how he is when she’s not with him. I would absolutely recommend her and so would Kylo!! 😊”
“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!!!”
“Joao was incredible while walking my very nervous rescue pup. I would recommend him to anyone that needs a patient, and experienced dog walker.”

About: 🐾Find me on Facebook Under Renee’s Reliable Pet Care!🐾 Passionate About Animals! Walks, Drop In’s + Happy Tails! ☺️ IG: reneesreliable_petcare I work part time in port Jefferson and have a flexible schedule, no kids. I have a passion for learning and understanding all different types of animals. I truly believe each pet has its own individual personality and quirks. My experience in pet care comes from having my own pets, caring for family, friends, clients, and neighbors. I started this journey because I had a difficult time finding reliable sitter’s for my own dog who has suffered from several seizures and has separation anxiety. I would get canceled on when I was at work and not have the care for my pup when I needed it most. These struggles helped me realize that I can easily be that reliable, compassionate person for individuals and their pets! I am punctual, great at showering pets with love and attention, and patient. I am reliable, caring and always happy to go out of my way to help others. I am all about details so please tell me everything your pet likes so my visits can be exciting and happy for your pet! Care checked and vaccinated. I am so excited to meet you and your fur baby! I work MWF from 12:45-6 pm. I have a flexible schedule and can sometimes work around these days and times. I have off Tuesdays and Thursdays and have several time slots open 5 days a week from. I also usually have open weekend availability. I will take care of your pet like they’re my own! Safety and satisfaction is my number one priority. I will ensure your dog is properly leashed before leaving the house and ensure all doors are locked.

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.

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”

I’ve trusted him with my beloved dogs—Cooper, Oakley, and Rudy—and he has treated each of them as if they were his own. Whether it’s daily walks, playtime, or just being a calming presence, John always goes above and beyond. I can’t recommend him enough as a pet sitter—he’s someone you and your pets can truly count on.”

Shes like family to Steve and I, and I cant thank her enough for being there for him when I couldn't be!”
