Doggy Day Care in Shelter Island

About: I have a deep love for dogs and 25 years of experience caring for them. I can assist with training, administer medications as needed, and ensure your pet receives plenty of exercise, attention, and loving care. "As a work-from-home professional, I have ample time and a genuine love for animals. I offer a variety of pet care services, including boarding, home sitting, daycare, walks, and playtime, available on both weekdays and weekends." I'm flexible and can adapt to your dog's specific care needs. To ensure a safe environment for all, dogs will remain on a leash on my 3-acre property unless they are exceptionally well-trained off-leash. Please let me know if you'd like to include walks on Bay Beach, the beach, or at a dog run in your dog's care plan.

“Jared is probably the best dog sitter around. Very caring and loving to our pretty high energy 1.5-year-old lab. Wife and I enjoy the daily photos of her. Jared is a real peace of mind and takes the worries about leaving your pet for the afternoon, evening or weekend. I highly recommend him. Kevin B”

“Hannah was fantastic! She was super flexible with our schedule, and our pup had a wonderful time. She gave him lots of cuddles, play time, and took him on nice long walks. He came home nice and tired out, we can’t wait to have Hannah watch our dogs in the future!”

“I wish we could give Allison 6 stars. She came through for us at the last minute and made our dog feel welcome and comfortable right away. The next time we are out East Allison will be the first person we contact. We could not recommend her more.”

“Maria was a star, extremely available, great communication, and trustworthy. She took on my two big pups and was very open to their needs. Would definitely re-book in the future. Thank you Maria!”

“Mary Jo watched my dog and my sister’s (both anxious seniors) over the holiday weekend for daycare. We gave her weird hours and she accommodated us regardless, despite having little ones of her own. Drop off and pick up process was quick. It was late when we picked up so when a steel bowl was left behind she mailed it back, which we appreciated a lot. We trust her experience with dogs and are so happy the fur babies were safe and sound while we were away!”

About: Hi! I’m an experienced and reliable pet lover who truly enjoys caring for dogs like they’re my own. I’m active, attentive, and committed to keeping your pup safe, happy, and well-loved while you’re away.

“This was my first time using Rover.com. I had picked up my German shepherd, Evie, from a shelter in North Carolina last November. Based on her recorded condition when brought in as a stray 5 weeks before she had been through a rough period. She has fully recovered now and is in good health. My wife and I wanted to find someone to board her with where she would be happy when we're away. We identified a few possibilities at the Rover website and following a positive meet and greet with Nadjeska last week, had Evie spend the day with her yesterday. It went very well. Nadjeska sent us several texts with photos during the day updating us on Evie's stay. We were looking for a home where Evie could spend time with and play with other dogs and Evie made a new friend, Sparkles, Najeska's little dog. Nadjeska has a fenced yard which provides a safe place for them to run around in the fresh air. Evie seemed to enjoy the day, Nadjeska obviously loves dogs, and we will be repeat clients in the near future.”

“Tessa took great care of Ralsei for a long day when we had to be out of town. She sent us photos and a video, and was always very quick to respond to messages. Awesome experience, hope to book again in the future!”

About: I have a dog myself, so I’m accustomed to the patience and responsibility required to properly take care of them. Im athletic and not afraid of getting bitten. I’ve defended my dog once from an aggressive Belgian Shepard that got loose at the park. I also know the area well (what streets and parts of the park to avoid when crowded at certain times), so that your dog has a relaxing and satisfying walk. I respect and love all life. I take care of my dog full time, so walking and taking care of dogs fits perfectly into my schedule. My apartment is around 1500 sqft with outdoor space (nyc) house in SH is 3,000 sqft w yard and close to the beach. My days are completely free. With my dog, I usually walk 1-3 hours at the park in the morning (off leash). Then either 2 20-40 min walks in the evening and night or 1 1-2 hour long walk at night. I home cook for my dog. Usually chicken with some kind of grain like rice, potatoes, oatmeal, and some kind of fruit or vegetable. My place has two balconies (completely fenced in) so my dog can get fresh air.

“This was my first time ever leaving Ange. I was a little nervous, but everything went great over all. Carolina text me through out the day and made me feel so comfortable with me leaving Ange. I will definitely use Carolina in the near future.”

“Joe and his wife were very friendly. They watched Shiloh for about 5 hours while we visited with friends in the area. At pick up, we could tell Shiloh enjoyed her visit and playtime with the family's dog.”

“Dominika was amazing. She has a lovely home and her pups are great. Sadie loved playing with them and was totally pooped by the time we picked her up. Would definitely book again. Thank you for taking such good care of her.”

About: I treat each animal as if they were my own and focus on making sure they feel comfortable, safe, and relaxed while their owner is away. I take the time to learn each pet’s personality, routines, and preferences so their day feels as normal as possible. I’m very reliable and communicative. Owners receive regular updates and photos so they always know how their pet is doing. I understand how important peace of mind is when you’re away from your pet, and I make sure you feel confident they are in good hands. I’m comfortable caring for dogs of all sizes, temperaments, and energy levels. I can work with puppies who are still learning routines and basic training, as well as senior pets who may need a slower pace, extra patience, or medication. I’m happy to follow detailed care instructions to make sure your pet receives the exact care they are used to. Above all, I focus on creating a calm, positive environment so pets feel happy and well cared for while you are away. Pet care fits easily into my routine since I work from home. This allows me to give pets consistent attention, regular walks, feeding, and plenty of companionship throughout the day. 🐾 I provide a calm, safe environment for pets in my home and because I work from home I am able to follow each pet’s routine closely including feeding, playtime, and exercise. Pets have access to a dedicated fenced dog yard for fresh air and activity. I can crate dogs if that is part of their routine, and there is an outdoor ramp leading to the yard to make access easier and safer for senior dogs. My goal is always to help pets feel comfortable, relaxed, and well cared for while their owners are away. 🐾

“Melissa was so nice and accommodating. She even offered to pick up and drop off our dog since it was our wedding. Cruz came back happy as can be and she shared some videos of him playing and having a great time. Would definitely use her again.”

“Nicole is great! Communication was clear and quick and Nicole took great care of our Ziggy! Ziggy is a very energetic lab and after her day with Nicole she was wiped out! Thank you! We hope to be able to drop her off with you again in the future!”
