About: Looking for the perfect person to care for your pet this summer? Look no further! My name is Justine and I have been caring for pets my entire life. Walking, exercising, basic grooming, training, I do it all! When your pet is with me, I will care for him/her as if they are my own. Communicating with you about all your petcare preferences, I will assure you that you can be at ease leaving your little love behind. Furthermore, I will update you with pictures of all your pets snuggles and adventures! I have experience with all kinds of pets, all ages, dietary restrictions, special needs, etc. My own dog, Oaklin, I trained to be a therapy dog and he used to work with me at a school. He is extremely friendly and if you are booking for your dog, he would love to tag along for a puppy play date (which is excellent for socialization and helps ease separation anxiety). Please let me know if you would like to book Oaklin as well for your dog's drop-in visit or walk. I always bring Oaklin on overnights with me, as I am a single dog mom myself. From June 28-August 8th I have open availability! Currently, I am a teacher, so I'm only available 5 PM or later on weekdays, and occasionally on weekends until June 28th. . I have cared for pets with varrying energy levels, ages, training, interests, and health conditions. When I care for your pet, I will treat it as if it is my own. I will be an extention of you while you are away to keep things as normal for your pet as possible. Let's chat about your pets needs and figure out what works best for your pet.

About: I have grown up with 4 dogs maximum in my house. I am super comfortable around any dog. Sweet, kind, aggressive, scared, anxious and whatever else you have to throw at me! I love dogs of all age! Puppies and old fur babies will be loved the same! Let’s connect! I am fairly open and will constantly communicate. I work at a dentist office and I clean pools in the summer! I’m also doing my masters online. I keep the house in the condition it was left to me, I’m able to take out the trash, water flowers and bring in mail. I will fully be in communication with the owners. The animals will always have their breakfast, dinner and treats! If medicine is needed, I will try my best to give that to them. Walks and playing in the backyard is a must! I am more than happy to share the bed with them as well. The most important factor is the endless cuddles!

“Trace was so great with my 6 month old 3lb Maltese. My SiSi was very happy when I returned home. I knew she was in good hands”

About: My love for dogs knows no bounds! While I started actively caring for dogs about three years ago, I’ve had them in my life since I was 10. Taking my dogs to the beach or on trail walks is part of my daily routine. I realized that if I’m already bringing my own pups on adventures, why not share the fun and include other dogs too! I’m currently working full time Tuesday-Friday 9am-5pm but available after work too! Available anytime Monday, Saturday and Sunday. I usually take my dogs to the beach for a 1 hour walk in the riverhead and Hampton bays area I have a fenced yard at my house and can definitely train your dog some tricks if you are okay with it!

She provided me with an update of their time spent together. When I returned my dog was happy as ever and must have had a great time since he went to sleep early tonight. I am so grateful to have found a sitter that I feel confident leaving my dog with!!”

About: Hello! I have many years experience being raised with, working with and owning animals of all kinds from small animals, to cats and dogs, to farm animals, horses, cats and dogs, to exotics and even bottle feeding wildlife. I have managed both a pet store and dog boarding facility attached to a high end emergency vet. I have independently rescued ever since a child. I have attended animal science and behavior classes, i am aspca certified in many areas, i am dog grooming certified as well. I know how to administer medications, etc Animals in general are my passion and purpose in life. I am a very clean organized and structured person. Some say i have a bit of ocd lol (have done housecleaning as well) so cleaning litter pans etc is absolutely not a problem, as i feel all animals should live their best life, and a clean environment gives me a sense of happiness and job well done when their pan is cleaned and fresh bowls given etc. Playing is equally important as this gives not only a bonding quality; but physical as well as mental stimulation. And all around makes both animal and human happy :) Looking forward to speaking and meeting soon. God bless you and yours 💖🙏🙌🐈🐱 Pet care is a major factor within my life and apart of my every day life. From the time i wake up, until the time i go to sleep. Being that i own animals, work with animals, and not only this i simply are motivated and enjoy animals; more often than not this is what consumes my mind. Pet care not only assures the pets are well cared for but gives me a sense of happiness and pride when all is done and you see them happy healthy comfortable and just enjoying life. Even if it is the simplest task such as playing; because this in itself is physical mental and emotional stimulation. Proper schedule, routine, cleanliness and great work ethics all become apart of life and makes life enjoyable because you love what you do. And loving what you do is very important I continuously give fresh water, proper feedings, wash bowls, straighten up, wipe things down, play, fresh bedding, medicines, baths etc..etc and enjoy doing so. In my home; Pets in my home are treated just as my own for their stay. Each situation is different but all get treated with the same love and affection. Depending on their feeding schedules (will determine the feeding routine) firstly i am sure their bowls are cleansed. They receive fresh water all day, if they are free feeding i be sure their food bowls are always topped off as well. I do give fresh blankets etc but most prefer my bed, or couch. Others do prefer their own bed and brings a sense of comfort when their owners are not around. In which i do recommend for shyer dogs even a shirt you may have used recently so they have a sense of comfort in this area. Being i am home all day i do have a wee wee pan down if they are wee wee pad trained. I take them out to play every couple of hours in our yard. And as well do a walk two to three times a day. Or a one long few hour a day session if they are younger and may enjoy the beach as i do some fishing, dog park, or hikes and we play in this time period as well; if they love playing ball etc. I do have a small havanese that if your dog likes to play with others and with your permission we can as well do play dates so your little one (or little ones) will as well have a friend to play with and have a doggy daycare. Fresh water provided etc. A thorough examine is always done to be sure no ticks are your little one. We do lots of cuddles as well! And watch t.v and movies together. Rub downs and ear scratches. And if you are okay with it; i like to cook a special treat for my guests. Hard boiled egg or baked plain chicken breasts. And a ice bisquit treat on warmer weather, treats as well as long as their are no food allergies. Or you can provide you own. In your home, i will treat them just the same. As my own. And will do things according to how it is asked of me. Just as i would in my own home. Also to mention; if certain things are asked of (as a training tool) example- please do not let my dog on your couch as to not entice this when they come home (if preferred preference at their home is to not allow on couch) then i will follow these rules given in my own home (although i normally would allow them on the couch). As i do training as well and understand the importance of maintaining a routine and having structure in training etc. Or if requested that a dog may be crated at night as well to maintain their routine then this will be done as well out of owners wishes etc to maintain their dogs schedule and daily activities in my home (or in theirs) Each case us different and on a case to case basis. The point is; i respect what is asked of me. I love your pet as my own and pamper them in their stay. I give medications if needed, i walk, feed, play with etc.
