Another wonderful job by Amanda! Our elder dog Chelsea was getting over not feeling well and Amanda cared for her like she was her own. She gave lots of feedback and pics. Showered our Chelsea Girl with attention. Will book again!

About: Available 24/7! I’ll treat your furbaby like family (the ones I like)! My love of animals shines through in every moment I spend with them. I’ve had dogs since childhood and always considered them part of the family. I began walking my neighbor’s dogs at age 9 and remember feeling so lucky that I was being paid to do something I enjoyed so much. I’m experienced with all sizes, breeds, ages and temperaments. Some of the breeds I’ve cared for, fostered and rescued include Pointers, Terriers, Retrievers, Chihuahuas, Doodles, Bulldogs, Mutts and designer dogs. As well as cats, bunnies, birds, aquatics and reptiles. Don’t worry! I’ll tend to all your furry, feathered or scaled pets during my check-ins, and sleepovers! Plus I’m insured, which gives you one less thing to worry about while you plan your pupcation. I’m flexible in my approach while caring for your pet. Tailoring my 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. All services are tailored to your needs. I’m available 24/7 to provide care for your pet. Drop-In’s, Play Groups & Walkies are scheduled with plenty of time to be home to care for my guests. I also offer Daycare, Boarding & Concierge Services (such as transportation to vet or grooming) As well as pet transportation to and from my home to yours. I also offer House Sitting in your home, for those creatures of habit who prefer to watch over their home while you’re away. Your pup is welcome to roam free while they are visiting my multi-level town house. Guests are invited to snuggle next to me on the main level sofa, or nap on any of the comfy pet beds provided. Guests are also welcome to hang in my fully furnished basement, aka the Happy Wags Lounge, which accommodates multiple dogs. Furnished with a large sofa, fluffy dog beds, soft blankets, snuggle floor mats, flatscreen TV, Alexa for streaming music or stress relieving sounds for those nervous visitors. Pups can also enjoy the large fenced patio area with raised cots perfect for basking in the sun. Or snoozing in the shade beneath one of my large patio umbrellas. On those super hot days guests can even dip their toes in the puppy pool. Regardless of where your pet chooses to hang…they will enjoy tons of attention, appropriate toys, fresh Poland Spring water, healthy treats (upon approval) and cool A/C or heat. All 3 levels in my home offer flatscreen TVs and Alexas to provide a comfy atmosphere in each area. Crates are available upon request. I am located on a beautiful, gated property with tons of grass and trees, perfect for long walks. My priority is to provide a safe, comfortable and relaxing environment while caring for your baby during their stay! My condo is under 24/7 exterior/interior surveillance to ensure my guests safety at all times. You’ll receive daily updates including pics and details of your pet’s experience while in my care, so you can rest easy that your pup is in good hands!

Hands down best dog sitter I’ve ever had. I’ve never felt more comfortable leaving my baby with anyone else. I received photos and updates throughout the day and the experience with dogs was unmatched. Thank you! Will definitely use again!!!

Kelly was a pleasure! We met in advance for her to meet the fur babies, which I really appreciated. She helped watch 3 of our animals, one being a senior English bulldog that needs extra care and it was comforting to know while my husband and I were away, they were in good hands. They loved her! Which is also comforting! Thanks Kelly!! :)

Trisha graciously watched my 2 older dogs at the last minute in my home. She was an amazing houseguest, and was incredible with my visually impaired dog who requires various daily medications. My other grumpy dog took to Trisha immediately, which is remarkable as he can be stingy with his affection. Thank you Trisha and we all look forward to seeing you again soon.❤️

Kim was a fantastic dog sitter! She was friendly, reliable, and great with my dog! While I was out of town she stayed at my place with my dog. I never felt like I couldn’t reach her or didn’t know what was going on. She reached out regularly with updates and photos which were greatly appreciated. Thank you Kim!

Ridge, NY, 11961

About: Ever since I can remember, I have been surrounded by animals: specifically dogs and cats. Particularly for dogs, I have assisted in the training of puppies (encouraging positive behavior, potty training, etc.) while also providing dog-walking services for friends and family nearby. I truly love animals, as each and every one is so unique, and would love to share my passion for animals with you! I am currently unemployed as I have just recently graduated from college, so my schedule is very flexible and can work around any pet’s needs. I have a large fenced in yard that provides my animals with safe spaces for exercise. I also have two pet water fountains inside the home to promote hydration especially during the summer months. My pets always get a breakfast and dinner, though each is tailored to their specific dietary needs. Playtime is a must in my household, and my pets always receive interactive stimulation to keep their minds and bodies healthy.

About: Helped take care of puppies, house and dog sit, ready to play outside or be calm during stressful times like storms. Lived with 2 - cookie obsessed - chocolate labs, one was very active and the other attached to the hip. Have helped watch lots of family members pets as well! Just moved to NY and I'm looking for a full time job! In the meantime I have a very open schedule to stay with your furry friends! I have 2 cats and share an apartment so I typically stick to house sitting and/or drop ins. I always make sure to meet the pet before moving forward with a booking as I think it is important to interact with both pet and parent in a comfortable space !

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.

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!!

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.

Kim is great with watching our two dogs. She was even able to stay an extra night this time when our flight home got cancelled last minute. She sends updates throughout the stay and always leaves our house the way we left it. Would highly recommend!

Jennifer and Emily meet in the morning of the November 15. Emily can be very shy. She immediately like Jennifer. I certainly did too! She is so sweet. She talked so nicely with Emily. We disgusted how she can be shy and she is afraid of most things. Talked food time and bathroom habits. Jennifer left and then came back for the appointed time. Emily was very happy to see her. Jennifer provided many pictures of their time together while I was out. My Emily was happy to see me come back but, not about Jennifer leaving. Emily went to hide after she left. She was upset with me that Jennifer had left. She ignored me for the rest of the night. Jennifer had made quite an impression on her. Jennifer is an unbelievable person. Hiring her would be a blessing to you and your pet. I give her 10 out of 10.
