“This was our 2nd time using Lisa and Michael’s services. They are extremely helpful and diligent. They make us feel at ease while we are away that we don’t have to worry about our pets or who is in our home. They treat our cats like they are their own, provide photos daily, and keep everything very clean. We already have them booked for our next trip.”

About: With years of hand on experience in dog care, I treat every pet as they were my own. I will provide a safe, love and safe environment. Your pets well being is my top priority. I’m currently working part time in customer service. I walk my own dogs every morning, it is the best part of my day. I am looking forward to being outside as much as possible and hopefully I can make your pet part of that. I have a large kennel outside for my 2 dogs for whenIi’m at work. On my days off I try to be with them as much as possible. My dogs are dog friendly and would love another friend if you are comfortable. I have a large fenced in area for them to exercise and play.

About: Super caring, reliable and responsible. I’ll treat your furbaby like my own! I’ve had dogs and cats since childhood and began walking my neighbor’s dogs at age 9. Making money doing something I truly love has always been especially rewarding. I’m experienced with all sizes, breeds, ages and temperaments. Some of the breeds I’ve rescued, fostered and cared for include Pointers, Terriers, Retrievers, Chihuahuas, Doodles, Bulldogs, Mutts and designer dogs. As well as cats, bunnies birds and reptiles. I love them all equally! I take whatever approach necessary to tailor my care and attention to match your pup’s needs, whether they are high energy or easy breezy…I will be sure to provide a great experience for them. Your dog and I can go for walks or hang in your yard. Go on play dates or spend quality time…a one on one game of fetch or just snuggles. Regardless, your baby will always be safe and happy in my care. My goal is to provide a loving atmosphere where your pup is always my priority. I’m currently available to do home visits and walks at your home after 5pm and until 9pm on Monday, Tuesday, Wednesday & Thursday. Available 8am to 9pm Friday, Saturday and Sunday. I can make multiple home visits per day if needed. I’m happy that stay at your home to care for your pets while you’re away. Available 7 days a week. Available for boarding Thursday after 5pm, Friday, Saturday & Sunday for 24 hr boarding, also doggy day-care in my home and for walks. I can also do pick-ups and drop-offs. I live in a multi-level town house with a large fenced patio area together with my Chihuahua and my dog-loving, former, stray cat. My furry friends will receive tons of affection and nice long walks throughout their stay. Your pups are welcome to roam free while they are my guests. I also invite them to hang in my fully furnished basement, known as the Wags Lounge, set up to accommodate multiple dogs at a time. Furnished with a large sofa, fluffy dog beds, soft blankets, snuggle floor mats, tons of toys, fresh filtered water, treats, cool A/C, flatscreen TV and streaming music or stress relieving sounds for those nervous visitors. I also have crates available for those who prefer to sleep crated. I am located on a beautiful, gated property with endless grass and trees, perfect for long walks in a super dog-friendly community. My priority is to provide a safe, comfortable and relaxing environment while caring for your baby during their stay! My property is under exterior/interior surveillance to ensure their safety at all times. I’ll even send you updates including pics and details of their experience while in my care so you can rest easy that your pup is in good hands!
About: I have worked with dogs of all breeds and sizes, I also used to volunteer at my local animal shelter growing up and take the dogs out on hikes to get them acclimated to social environments. I currently work as a writer and video editor remotely, so I have a very flexible schedule Monday-Friday. Let me know when you need someone and I’ll be there for your pets! In client’s homes that have a yard, I always perform a quick walk around to ensure the fence is intact and there is nothing harmful for the pet outside before letting them out. If they have a crate, I always check the latches and ensure the inside is clean before crating them.

About: I grew up with a Doberman and a cat. Now, I take care of friends’ dogs, when I’m not running an office. Currently, my mom puppy trains guide dogs so I’m learning even more about dog training, these days. For house sitting, my availability is open this summer. For dog walking I can do that during my lunch, if you’re within 5-10 minutes of Patchogue. I can walk, run, and/or play with your dog. I’m a runner and hiker.
