“Great first walk - definitely more to come!”

About: Hello, my name is Max and I was born and raised on the North Fork of Long island, in Cutchogue. My wife and I now live in Southampton with our 3 children and 2 furry ones. I have been pet sitting on the East End of Long Island for over 8 years. All of my clients are like family to me, and are treated as such. I am able to provide dog walks, check ins, and overnight stays in the owner's home. Dog boarding in my home is also available to dogs that are comfortable with kids and tolerant of little dogs. Unfortunately, our dogs do not allow us to board cats. But I am available for feeding and litter scoops and overnight stays in the owners home.

About: I grew up in a house full of animal lovers. I have always wanted to work with animals, and caring for pets has been an absolute pleasure for the past 15 years. I love my job and will always go above and beyond to make sure your pets are properly cared for and loved while you are away. I also provide dog walking, minimum of 1 hr walk required to book, and boarding in my home. I am reliable, punctual, honest, have common sense, and a huge heart. We can set up a meet and greet free of charge to make sure that me and your pets are a good fit. Thank you for considering me, and I look forward to hearing from you! I am available for dog walks, drop ins, boarding, or overnights in your home. There is an hour minimum for dog walks and for drop ins I offer overnight stays in the pets home. I will follow their normal routine as closely as possible, and make them feel safe and comfortable with me. I also offer dog boarding. Your dog will be safe, comfortable, and well cared for while staying in my home.

Feel free to reach out if you are looking for help! I currently have a very flexible schedule, which allows for me to incorporate pet care as well as other services in to my weekly routine. I am happy to spend quality time with your fur babies, as well as drop-in visits. I enjoy exercise and love to go on walks and enjoy the fresh outdoors!

About: I’ve cared for a variety of pets over the years—from cuddly lap cats to energetic pups. I’m reliable, gentle, and always focused on keeping pets happy. I’m currently working part-time while going to Eastern State University so I’m pretty flexible! I’m primarily looking to work Mondays, anytime after 12 pm and Fridays. :) Your pet’s safety and comfort are my top priorities. I create a calm, loving environment where pets feel secure and cared for. You can trust me to treat your furry family members like my own, ensuring peace of mind while you’re away.

About: From a young age, one of my greatest aspirations was to learn how to properly train and care for dogs. At just nine years old, I saved my birthday money and—with the help of my parents—welcomed my very first puppy into my life. From that moment forward, dogs have remained a central part of my life. Over the years, I’ve had the privilege of raising and caring for five dogs, including one beloved companion who is no longer with us. Today, my fur family includes two Shih Tzus, an Australian Cattle Dog, and a Miniature Australian Shepherd. After relocating to Kansas City, I brought my Australian Cattle Dog and Mini Aussie with me. My two Shih Tzus were raised in New York and remain there with family, where they are comfortable in the environment they’ve always known. Needless to say, these animals mean the world to me. They bring immeasurable joy, companionship, and energy into everyday life, and I understand how important it is to trust someone with the care of your pet. I would be honored to care for your dog with the same attentiveness, patience, and integrity that I give my own. In addition to general care, I am well-versed in puppy development, foundational training techniques, and behavioral correction strategies. If your dog would benefit from structured guidance during our time together, I’m happy to incorporate that as part of the experience. My personal dogs do not need to be present during any service. However, if your dog forms a positive connection with one of mine and you specifically request that they join us for companionship during walks or activities, I’m happy to accommodate when appropriate. In those cases, it can create a fun and enriching experience for everyone involved. My goal is simple: to ensure your dog feels safe, engaged, and well cared for—while giving you complete peace of mind. Pet care is already part of my daily routine so, adding another to the pack isn’t a hassle! My two pups keep me busy and on schedule, they’re fed around 8am, and again at 5pm. Aside from routine morning walks, they exercise for roughly 1.5hrs daily (depending on weather conditions). My home is smoke free, and pet welcoming. I have 4 amazing dogs (Mini Aussie, Australian Cattle Dog, and 2 Shitzus) that will happily keep your pup entertained! They are thoroughly trained and well mannered. If you have a pet that you don’t think will do well with this interaction, I will gladly chat with you to see if we can find a way to accommodate! I have a spacious, fenced-in, backyard area for you dogs to enjoy themselves!

About: I have over ten years of experience with dogs. I had a rat terrier named Imani growing up so I have experience with high energy dogs from puppies to seniors. I have 4 years of experience with cats. Three years with two seven year old boys during a previous relationship where I honed my cat care, training skills and love for cats. So much so that I adopted my own cat, a two year old named Billie, last year. I have also trained her to sit, lay down and fetch as well as using positive reinforcement to dissuade scratching behaviors. I am currently working for myself as a freelance photographer and consultant so I have a pretty flexible schedule and can accommodate multiple drop in’s in one day or work from your home while pet sitting. I am dedicated to maintaining a clean and safe environment for the pet I’m caring for. I love to send picture and video updates regularly. I love to play with cats and dogs and am committed to their happiness and safety.
