“Melissa is simply amazing. We have re-booked her over 10 times for home visits and home sitting our pet, Scott. We all were going on an international trip of ~10 days and we were worried since this was the first time we using someone’s services to stay at home and take care of Scott. Punctuality is Melissa’s virtue and Scott was absolutely comfortable with her. All those 10 days, we were very peaceful and Melissa ensured, with pictures and videos of Scott, that we were always in touch! A very big shout out to Melissa for a fantastic service!”

“Kelly was such a great caretaker for our babies and our house! She is so patient and loving; she took excellent care of everyone; and she gave us frequent photos and updates while staying at our house. We will absolutely ask her to care for our pets again!”


“Kathy stayed with my senior dog and my cat for a few days and followed all instructions and took care of them very well ! She left me updates and the place was exactly how I left it when I got back from my lil vacation! Definitely recommend and would hire her again :)”

“Amanda was great with our kitties while we were away on vacation! She sent lots of updates with photos/videos and was very respectful of our space. Amanda went above and beyond during meal times as our kitties need to be separated and can be picky eaters. I would highly recommend Amanda for any of your pet care needs!”

“We could tell Sharon was a dog person right away at the meet and greet. Our dog immediately engaged with her. The day she cared for him went very well, she was on time and kept us updated. We would use her services again.”

“We had Sonnie of the duo stay at our house with our pups and we’ve never come back from vacation before and had the dogs been so relaxed. Sonnie did such a phenomenal job caring for our animals and our house. We felt incredibly comfortable leaving them in Sonnie’s care after two pre-vacation visits where our pets simply could not get enough of Sonnie. Sonnie showed kindness and understanding, sent us daily updates and pictures. I would definitely hire Sonnie again when we go away or just to let the pups out or walk them when we have a long day away. Thanks so much Sonnie!”

About: A dog lover my whole life, I have years of being relied upon to look after pets for friends and family. I have a senior samoyed pup (the one in my profile picture) and so I have experience with senior dogs as well as bigger/wolf/vocal dog breeds. I have recently moved back to Long Island from England, where I was a high school Math teacher for 8 years. I am currently not working as I look for employment. This also means I am DBS (background) checked. My partner Trent is also a dog lover and lifelong dog owner (most recently of a beautiful staffy girl), and he may help me out from time to time if needed. We have looked after dogs of all sorts of breeds, from dachshunds and frenchies to doodles and chowskis. We have puppy experience and a limited amount of training experience. I love taking pups for walks and am happy to walk for whatever length of time your pup most prefers! Plus, I’d be thrilled to take pics of your pup to send to you during the day 📸🐶 As I’m not working currently, I have as much time as needed to dedicate to your pup. I can travel at any preferred time for walks or in-home dog sitting. If coming to your home, you can rest assured that I am a reliable and trustworthy person who is background (DBS) checked from my time as a teacher. I will be respectful of your space and follow all rules/requests. For dog-walking services I am happy to travel to you and walk you and your pup’s preferred route.
“Kimberly was great! We've never used a pet-sitter before so were a little nervous, but Kimberly came over to meet us and our dog before we left and put our minds at ease. Our pup took to her right away when she visited and we appreciated the thoughtful questions she asked. She was a great communicator before and during her stay with our pup and sent so many great photos. Just got home from our trip and the house is spotless. Definitely recommend!”

About: I started dog sitting in 2018 in Huntington but moved to Port Jeff last year so looking to connect with local families! I have worked with many senior dogs and a variety of breeds. I have my own chiweenie who I love to spoil. I'm a teacher so I can drop in before and after school and then before bed! Weekends and school breaks I can potentially house sit. I can come to give meals and/or medication, I also can provide a walk and lots of belly rubs! I will send pictures and provide updates!

“Hannah was an amazing sitter! She stepped in at the last minute when another sitter same-day cancelled, and saved me from cancelling my trip. She was very communicative, flexible, helpful, and took excellent care of my dog. I got many pictures and updates throughout the weekend which always puts my mind at ease. I would absolutely book Hannah to care for my dog again, and so appreciate her help!!”

“Michelle is consistently awesome each time we leave our dogs with her. We always come back to happy dogs in a house just as we left it and she’s so great about keeping in touch with pictures.”

About: My family has had pets since I was a young kiddo. I’ve had dogs, cats, hamsters, fish… the works! I also volunteer at animal shelters as well as help train the animals. I even fostered animals coming out of abusive situations and helped rehabilitate, socialize them and find there forever homes! (One being a foster fail. He's a member of our family now ❤️) My pets get the best all natural food and treats for their tummies as well as any toys they want and top quality beds… so, your pet is in good hands and with a house full of animal loving weirdos! I’m my own boss and create my own schedule so I am incredibly flexible. My dog has his routine right now where he gets taken out for walks 4 times a day as well as at least an hour of playtime! If your fur baby comes to stay with us my dog will stay at his grandma’s (he loves going to her house lol) I have a fenced in yard currently and feed my pets all natural foods and treats! My dog currently eats twice a day, gets treats here and there, a LOT of backyard time (if he wants), multiple walks and about an hour of playtime!
About: I have had many different kinds of animals my whole life. From reptiles, dogs, cats and birds. I love animals more than people. I know a lot about dog training also and can administer meds. I am very flexible and have a pretty open schedule. I can do daily check ins or even every few days. Whatever you need I can make happen I will care for the animal in your home. I can play, walk, clean, feed, give meds and am open to any care you may need.
About: Hi, I’m Lyric! I’ve had animals my entire life and caring for them has always been a central part of who I am. I have a background in pre-veterinary sciences and currently work as an equine hoof care practitioner, so animal health, behavior, and safety are always top priorities for me. I’m comfortable working with pets of many species, sizes, temperaments, and energy levels, and I genuinely enjoy providing attentive care, enrichment, and exercise tailored to each individual animal. I have hands-on experience with dogs, horses, reptiles, birds, and small pets, and I’m very comfortable in multi-pet households. I’m also experienced with special-needs pets. My education and professional background have prepared me for medication administration and careful monitoring, and I’m happy to follow detailed care instructions and routines. My goal is to make your pet feel safe, relaxed, and cared for — and to make you feel confident while you’re away. I’m always happy to answer questions and tailor care to your pet’s specific needs. I work from home full-time, which allows me to take short breaks throughout the day for check-ins, walks, and playtime with your pets. Every pet’s routine is unique, so let’s chat to see how my schedule can best fit your pet’s needs! I prioritize safety, trust, and a calm environment for every pet I care for. In your home, I follow your routines, monitor pets closely, and ensure all interactions, walks, and playtime are safe and stress-free. For pets in my home, I maintain a clean, secure, and comfortable space with supervised interaction and plenty of enrichment. I’m experienced with dogs, cats, small pets, reptiles, and special-needs animals, and I always take care to follow any medication or care instructions exactly as provided.
About: I’ve been pet sitting for 8+ years. My experience includes puppies, full grown dogs, elderly dogs, kittens, & full grown cats. I also have experience in making sure they receive any medications they may need to take. I work remotely, so I can/will be at the house all day, making sure your fur babies are not alone for hours on end and getting plenty of love and attention. I am a very clean house guest. I clean up after myself as well as the animals and respect any boundaries the homeowner may put in place. I make sure to clean the kitchen & bathroom before I leave and will even wash/change the sheets on the bed if requested.

“Staci is a phenomenal dog sitter! She stayed at our place for a whole week and watched two of our pups, one of whom is really quite a challenge. He has health issues and an attitude and Staci was able to accommodate his needs. Thanks to her we were able to take our first vacation together in three years!!!”

Paula has become our go-to person when we need a pet sitter for our fur babies. She is trustworthy and responsible, she communicates with us during her stay, and she takes great care of our pets and house. We are always grateful when she is available to help us when we need help!

Louis was amazing! He took great care of Scooby while I was away, sending me regular updates and photos. Scooby seemed to really enjoy his company, and I appreciated the extra attention and love he received. The communication was great, and I felt confident leaving Scooby in louis’s care. I would highly recommend Louis to anyone looking for a trustworthy and loving dog sitter. Thanks again for taking such great care of Scooby!

Jessica did a wonderful job caring for both our pups and our Rabbits. She kept us updated regularly and stepped up when Roscoe got sick and needed extra bathroom breaks. We truly appreciate how she cleaned up after all the animals and even washed the rugs that Roscoe had accidents on. We will definitely be booking with her again.

I’ve used Alexis multiple times to take care of my three dogs, each with their unique personalities. She consistently does an excellent job while we’re away. Alexis is always professional and respectful of both the dogs and the house. Working with her is always a pleasure!
Kyle watched our lab at our home while we were away for a week. He took great care of our dog and home, sending daily pup pics which were much appreciated. He was easy to communicate with and reliable. I would definitely recommend him and would book him again. Thanks Kyle!
