About: Hello & welcome, my name is Apryl. As a lifetime animal lover & pet parent my focus is caring for animal(s) with love & respect. I specialize in 1 on 1 care (I only take multiple pet guests when they are from the same household) Currently, I am a hound mom to a 6 yr old Retired racing Greyhound, Issac Newton. I have exemplary loving experience caring for many types of dogs & cats. Whatever your pet loves: walks, quiet cuddles or anything in between, I pride myself on connecting to your beloved companion on their level. I shower my pet clients with love at every opportunity! My entire routine focuses on petcare first. I am an artist/energy therapist and spend my days with the animals in my care. I am avaliable for boarding, walks & playdates 7 days/week. When boarding a pet in my home I have a Pawsguest room which is a playroom & bedroom with room for your pet's bed, crate or both. If you prefer care in your home I will provide care based on your specifications and treat your home & beloved pet with kindness, respect & cleanliness.

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.

“Heather is an amazing person! We had really great experience her walking our little stubborn 13 year old Cairn terrier. She went over and above just a dog walk, I can recommend her without any hesitation! She is a caring person! Marketta”

About: I've always had an immense love for dogs, growing up surrounded by them. For over a year, I've had my own dog, and I’ve had the joy of caring for a cat for several years as well. In addition to my own pets, I frequently babysit two of my friends' dogs, providing them with love, attention, and care while their owners are away. With years of hands-on experience, I understand the unique needs of both cats and dogs, and I’m dedicated to offering them a safe, comfortable, and fun environment. I’m currently working part time, so I have plenty of time to play with your pups! I am usually off mostly during the weekdays, occasionally on weekends as well! Will always keep my availability up to date! I offer a safe and loving environment with a fenced yard, perfect for playtime and walks. I stick to your pet’s routine and provide plenty of attention and care. If needed, I can easily crate your pup and will work on basic training to reinforce good behavior. Your pet will enjoy a mix of exercise, comfort, and fun, with regular updates to keep you at ease.

About: Hi, I'm Paula! I've been a passionate pet lover all my life and I've had the joy of caring for dogs of all shapes and sizes for over 8 years. I'm skilled in administering medication, accommodating special needs and caring for senior dogs, ensuring your furry friend has the extra care they deserve. I am also certified in pet First Aid & CPR! When I'm not pet-sitting, I am a county employee and a volunteer firefighter. I’d be honored to keep your pet happy, safe, and loved while you're away! 🐶🚒 Caring for pets is a natural part of my day! Whether it’s daily walks, playtime, or check-ins, I love making sure they’re happy and well cared for. I treat every pet like my own when I visit a client’s home. From feeding and walks to cuddles and playtime, I make sure they feel safe, loved, and comfortable.

About: I have been a lover of animals for years. I am comfortable with all animals big and small, young and old. I am also intrigued by animal training as I am currently becoming certified in ABA. I am currently working during the weekdays from 8:45 to 2:45 but I am available afterwards or even early mornings. I am also free all weekend! I provide a loving, and warm environment for all animals. I believe animals need opportunities strive in their environment, but I understand how that can be difficult to be achieved. This is why I believe stimulating activities such as play and walks encourage a healthy mindset and behavior for animals.

“Jerol is lovely with my dogs and they love him. He gives them a good long walk which wears them down.”

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: I bring years of hands-on experience caring for both dogs and cats of all ages, breeds, and temperaments—including puppies, high-energy dogs, senior pets, and shy or special-needs cats. I’m comfortable with administering medications (oral, topical, and injections), caring for pets with anxiety, and supporting senior animals with mobility issues or extra comfort needs. What sets me apart is my calm, attentive nature and my ability to quickly bond with animals. I tailor each visit to fit your pet’s unique personality—whether that means structured play and training for a puppy, slow walks and joint care for a senior dog, or quiet companionship for a sensitive cat. I’m also a bit of a neat freak, so I make sure litter boxes, food bowls, and pet spaces stay fresh and clean. I care for your pets like they’re family—because that’s exactly how they deserve to be treated. Pet care is a natural part of my daily routine—I build my schedule around the needs of the fur babies I care for. Whether it’s morning feedings, midday playtime, or evening check-ins, I’m flexible and dependable. I prioritize consistency and create a calm, familiar environment for each pet, making sure they feel secure even when their humans are away. Whether it’s a short visit or an extended stay, I’m fully present and committed to giving your pets the care and attention they deserve every single day. When caring for pets in a client’s home, safety, trust, and respect are my top priorities. I follow all care instructions to the letter, from feeding schedules and medication needs to favorite toys and hiding spots. I make sure doors, windows, and food storage are secure, and I’m mindful of any hazards specific to your home or your pets behavior. I treat your space with the same respect I’d want for my own—clean, tidy, and exactly as you left it. I also provide regular updates with photos or messages, so you can have peace of mind knowing your pets are safe, happy, and in loving hands.

Some of the breeds I’ve rescued, fostered and cared for include Pointers, Terriers, Retrievers, Chihuahuas, Doodles, Bulldogs, Mutts and designer dogs. As well as cats, bunnies birds and reptiles. I love them all equally! I take whatever approach necessary to tailor my care and attention to match your pup’s needs, whether they are high energy or easy breezy…I will be sure to provide a great experience for them. Your dog and I can go for walks or hang in your yard. Go on play dates or spend quality time…a one on one game of fetch or just snuggles. Regardless, your baby will always be safe and happy in my care. My goal is to provide a loving atmosphere where your pup is always my priority. I’m currently available to do home visits and walks at your home after 5pm and until 9pm on Monday, Tuesday, Wednesday & Thursday. Available 8am to 9pm Friday, Saturday and Sunday.

My furry friends will receive tons of affection and nice long walks throughout their stay. Your pups are welcome to roam free while they are my guests. I also invite them to hang in my fully furnished basement, known as the Wags Lounge, set up to accommodate multiple dogs at a time. Furnished with a large sofa, fluffy dog beds, soft blankets, snuggle floor mats, tons of toys, fresh filtered water, treats, cool A/C, flatscreen TV and streaming music or stress relieving sounds for those nervous visitors. I also have crates available for those who prefer to sleep crated. I am located on a beautiful, gated property with endless grass and trees, perfect for long walks in a super dog-friendly community.

About: Hello everyone! My name is Dilara (Lara) and I am a full time college student! I have three beautiful babies, one girl samoyed, one girl cat and a boy cat! I adopted both of my cats to give them a better home and I love all my babies like theyre my children (they are). On my free times, I would love to help out other pet lovers while spending time with beautiful babies! I am a full time college student and I have classes most days other than Wednesdays, but since I am a last year my classes start late afternoon so I am able to come in the morning or after them! I have helped out friends with their own babies whether it’s walking or dog sitting in their house for a couple hours! My two cats also live with me and I make sure to get at least an hour of playtime with them as much as I can. My boy cat had some health complications in the past therefore I always keep an eye out and makes sure he eats his prescription meals everyday! It is important for me to listen the babies since my girl cat is very shy and I make sure to not scare her away by not crossing her boundaries!

“Ioanna was more than amazing. Her professionalism and love for the work was above what I was expecting. From constant communication to a ferry of pictures that all captured Waffles’s love, it was all amazing. I thank her so much for her service and will definitely be booking her again. Highly recommended.”
