“Brenda was amazing!!! She came when others didn’t respond. My 5 month old crazy puppy loved her and she handled him so well. She came at a minutes notice and was always on time and so friendly! I’ll be coming back when I’m back in the Hamptons!”

About: I have a depth and variety of experience with dogs of all ages, sizes, and temperaments. I’ve worked at a doggy daycare, where I handled multiple dogs at once in group settings, giving me valuable experience with a wide range of breeds and personalities. I’m very familiar with reading canine body language and making sure play stays safe and respectful. I’ve also cared for both puppies and senior dogs, so I’m comfortable adjusting my care to their unique needs—whether it’s helping with early training for a new pup or making sure an older dog is comfortable and supported throughout the day. On top of that, I’ve owned and cared for dogs my entire life, which has taught me to be attentive, patient, and genuinely connected to each dog I spend time with. Pet care fits seamlessly into my daily and weekly routine. My schedule is currently very flexible and accommodating, which allows me to take on regular walks, drop-in visits, and house sitting as needed. I truly enjoy spending my time with your furry friends, so fitting pet care into my day feels natural and fulfilling, whether it’s a quick walk or an overnight stay. I only offer care in my client’s home, and I always do my best to make sure your pet feels comfortable and safe in their familiar environment. I pay close attention to their behavior, routines, and any specific needs they may have. Whether it’s feedings, walks, playtime, or medications, I follow your instructions carefully and treat your pet and home with the utmost respect and care.
About: I have been a pet owner for years and we lost our dog 3 years ago. I am not quite ready to dive back in but miss having a companion when walking and just spending time with a dog. Would love to walk your pet and would enjoy spending days at a time with a dog again. I have been involved with sending rescue dogs from PR to the states and have enjoye helping them find good homes. I am a business owner and very responsible. I am a rule follower so whatever instructions you leave for your pet I will be happy to oblige by your wishes and your pets too. I can throw a ball all day long! I am 51 years old and have a very easy going personality. I will truly enjoy your pet and give them all the love they need while you are away.
About: I grew up taking care of my two medium/big family dogs. Then my siblings made me a dog aunt of four small-big. I love and help with all. I am currently working fully remote. My schedule is extremely flexible. Each day is different, but I have a lot of free time to go on walks and play. I live in an apartment with a large balcony. We have a dog park and Mutts next door. As for your home if you give me instructions, I follow them.
“Molly was fantastic - even though our dog Pita can sometimes seem intimidating with new people, once he left the apartment with Molly, they got along very well. She provided great updates, walked him in the freezing cold, and is very friendly and communicative. Would recommend!”
“Deb is awesome. She walked my Shih Tzu each day for 30 minutes each day after I recently moved and started a new job. It was a confusing time for my dog and my family and Deb has been reliable and a great help during this transition. She keeps Bingo happy, calm and comfortable during her dog walking visits. I highly recommend Deb!”

Nicole K.
“Nikki is an invaluable companion/caretaker to our ten year old Westie, Daisy, and our sixteen year old Maine Coon, Luciano. Whenever we ask her to stop by our home to walk, feed, play with Daisy, and just make sure she is ok, Nikki does so with kindness, gentleness, and the utmost care. She, also, ever so readily, will come by to check on, feed, pet Luciano, and, of course, take care of his litter box. Her interactions with our pets always puts our minds at ease when we are away. She lets us know how they are doing, and any changes she notices in their behaviors and habits. We are grateful for Nikki because we don't have to worry when our pets are in her care. She knows that our pets are family members, and she gives them the enthusiastic attention they deserve. She loves to share her time with the animals and you will be impressed with her level of dedication. We wholeheartedly recommend Nikki to care for your pets.”
