James was incredible with my spoiled weimaraner. He followed the routine my dog needs perfectly, was very professional, super reliable, and left my apartment clean after his stay. I would highly recommend!

Mastic, NY, 11950

About: I have been around animals and pets my whole life. I love learning the best way to treat and handle my furry companions. My number one goal is keeping my furry companions safe, healthy and happy. My day starts and ends with caring for them in the best way possible. I make sure pets are being fed the best food possible and making sure they are comfortable in our home. I make sure that when I am caring for a pet, that they are comfortable with my presence and I never want to overwhelm them in their own environment or in my own. I like to stay in communication with pet owners and want others pets/babies to be as comfortable as they can within my home and presence

Emma was amazing. She took the time to make sure Jack felt completely comfortable with her so they could enjoy a great evening together. He can be a little anxious around people, but he warmed up to her right away. She naturally gives off an animal lover’s energy that both pets and humans can sense. She asks thoughtful questions to ensure she’s following your dog’s care instructions closely and even sends pictures to keep you reassured throughout the experience. We are so thankful we found her here.

Center Moriches, NY, 11934

About: I have years of hands-on experience caring for pets, including my own dog and the pets of friends and neighbors. I understand that every pet has unique needs, and I take the time to make them feel loved. My experience includes feeding, walking, playtime, administering basic care, and providing companionship. As an EMT, I am calm under pressure, attentive to detail, and committed to the safety and well-being of every animal. I currently work part-time as an EMT, which gives me a flexible schedule and allows me to accommodate a variety of pet care needs. Whether your pet needs regular walks, drop-in visits, overnight care, or last-minute assistance, I will do my best to provide dependable and consistent care. Caring for animals is something I genuinely enjoy and make time for in my daily routine. Your pet’s safety and comfort are my top priorities. I treat every animal as if they were my own and take the time to learn their routines, preferences, and any special needs they may have. In your home, I will follow all care instructions carefully and keep your pet’s environment clean, secure, and stress-free.

I recently used Tricia for the first time for two nights of pet sitting with my senior chihuahua, and I couldn’t be happier with the experience! She was incredibly professional, attentive, and clearly has a genuine love for animals. She took such amazing care of my dog and kept me updated the entire time with thoughtful messages and photos, which gave me so much peace of mind. It meant everything knowing Winnie was in such good hands. I will absolutely be using her services again and highly recommend her to anyone looking for a reliable, caring pet sitter!

About: My name is Alex and I would love to care for your furbabies as if they were my own! I host one family at a time (up to three pets from the same family). This ensures a premium experience for your pet that is calm, friendly and enjoyable. I do not have children or any pets of my own-this way I am be able to maintain a stress free environment for your pet to avoid any anxiety or nervousness around children or new animals. It is my job to put you and your pets at ease while you are away or busy. I want to ensure a stress free experience for all. 🐾 I will always be around to supervise the animals while I petsit! I offer a happy and calming experience for your pet in which they will enjoy lots of attention and cuddles/playtime from me or naps and comfort time and relaxing music should they desire. I’ve taken care of a number pets throughout my life. I grew up with small terriers and had fish too. Friends animals were always like my own. I adopted my beloved cat Calvin when I was 21 and in December 2022, 11 years later, he passed away leaving a hole in my heart. He had many health problems such as asthma and IBS, for which he was on several daily medications. This taught me to administer oral medication in pill pockets and use an inhaler attachment for him. I miss being around animals in general now that he’s been gone. I am looking so much forward to being able to provide boarding in my lakeside home. At this time, I’m not able to offer housesitting, very happily offer drop ins house sits and walks! Kindly note: * if your dog has a history of aggression towards people or has indoor accidents frequently I will not be able to host them. *Experience with breeds such as greyhounds, who may need a more quiet atmosphere I am available consistently at the moment as I run a part time home business. 24 hour consistent time with your pet is ensured. If they wish they can also sleep in the bedroom/bed. The fenced yard is big enough to run around supervised and also has tiered retaining walls. I also have a separate area for a cat(s) and a walk in closet style litter box “room”. I have plenty of toys, treats and catnip. At this time, I’m not able to offer boarding, very happily offer drop ins house sits and walks!

About: I’ve cared for pets my entire life and bring a calm, attentive, and personalized approach to every animal I watch. I understand that each pet has their own personality, routine, and comfort level, so I take the time to adjust my care to fit their needs—whether that means playful energy, quiet companionship, or a little extra patience. I’m experienced with both dogs and cats, including senior pets and those who may need medication, and I’m very mindful about keeping their environment clean, safe, and stress-free. I also have experience in multi-pet households, so I’m comfortable managing different temperaments while making sure every pet feels secure and cared for. My goal is to create a safe, loving environment where your pet feels comfortable, happy, and truly at home. Pet care is a natural part of my everyday routine, and I’m home most of the week to give pets plenty of time, attention, and care. I keep a consistent schedule with potty breaks, meals, playtime, and rest, making sure each pet feels comfortable and cared for throughout the day. I’m only away briefly once a week, and I always plan around that to make sure pets are still well taken care of. I truly enjoy being present with them, creating a calm, loving environment where they can feel relaxed, safe, and happy. I create a safe, clean, and loving environment where pets can feel comfortable and at ease. I pay close attention to each pet’s routine and personality, making sure to follow all care instructions and keep things as consistent as possible for them. In my home, pets are always supervised, and I take care with introductions and space to ensure everyone feels safe and comfortable. I’m very mindful of safety, from secure spaces to feeding routines and behavior monitoring. My goal is to provide a calm, stress-free environment where pets feel safe, respected, and truly cared for.

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.

About: I have always worked with animals ever since I was little. I grew up around a farm and took care of various small pets. I also have experience cat sitting and dog sitting from some friends. I have my own elderly dog who needs accommodations, so I’m ready for any task needed! I go to college mostly online, but I do have a class or two in person some days. I’m able to drop in whenever because I’ll be very much free. I can give your pet some comfort and take care of them while you’re gone! I love to go on walks and play with any furry friend!

I almost don't want to leave this review, because Anica is so fabulous I don't want anyone else to snatch her up! Anica is just what you are looking for in a pet sitter...we have two Tibetan spaniel rescues from ARF, one is very friendly and active, while the other one is terribly shy. She managed both of them brilliantly. I will definitely hire her again and again and again...Now I can have a social life! Thank you Anica!

Risa was so easy to coordinate with. She watched my 2 frenchies - one of them just 2 months old! I was so nervous about leaving them for a wedding but Risa was a pro. Would absolutely work with her again.

My dog can be reactive with new people, especially men. She had a small outburst that might have made someone else uncomfortable. Kyle handled it with a calm grace and the two of them got along famously after that. Thank you for sticking with her.
