Amanda was great with our kitties while we were away on vacation! She sent lots of updates with photos/videos and was very respectful of our space. Amanda went above and beyond during meal times as our kitties need to be separated and can be picky eaters. I would highly recommend Amanda for any of your pet care needs!

Trisha graciously watched my 2 older dogs at the last minute in my home. She was an amazing houseguest, and was incredible with my visually impaired dog who requires various daily medications. My other grumpy dog took to Trisha immediately, which is remarkable as he can be stingy with his affection. Thank you Trisha and we all look forward to seeing you again soon.❤️

Amber took great care of my dog Mocha. He gets very nervous when alone. She gave him plenty of attention and play time. Sent us pictures and kept me updated on how he was eating. I felt very comfortable letting her stay in our home. Will definitely be calling her again. Thanks Carol & Mocha

About: Available 24/7! I’ll treat your furbaby like family (the ones I like)! My love of animals shines through in every moment I spend with them. I’ve had dogs since childhood and always considered them part of the family. I began walking my neighbor’s dogs at age 9 and remember feeling so lucky that I was being paid to do something I enjoyed so much. I’m experienced with all sizes, breeds, ages and temperaments. Some of the breeds I’ve cared for, fostered and rescued include Pointers, Terriers, Retrievers, Chihuahuas, Doodles, Bulldogs, Mutts and designer dogs. As well as cats, bunnies, birds, aquatics and reptiles. Don’t worry! I’ll tend to all your furry, feathered or scaled pets during my check-ins, and sleepovers! Plus I’m insured, which gives you one less thing to worry about while you plan your pupcation. I’m flexible in my approach while caring for your pet. Tailoring my 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. All services are tailored to your needs. I’m available 24/7 to provide care for your pet. Drop-In’s, Play Groups & Walkies are scheduled with plenty of time to be home to care for my guests. I also offer Daycare, Boarding & Concierge Services (such as transportation to vet or grooming) As well as pet transportation to and from my home to yours. I also offer House Sitting in your home, for those creatures of habit who prefer to watch over their home while you’re away. Your pup is welcome to roam free while they are visiting my multi-level town house. Guests are invited to snuggle next to me on the main level sofa, or nap on any of the comfy pet beds provided. Guests are also welcome to hang in my fully furnished basement, aka the Happy Wags Lounge, which accommodates multiple dogs. Furnished with a large sofa, fluffy dog beds, soft blankets, snuggle floor mats, flatscreen TV, Alexa for streaming music or stress relieving sounds for those nervous visitors. Pups can also enjoy the large fenced patio area with raised cots perfect for basking in the sun. Or snoozing in the shade beneath one of my large patio umbrellas. On those super hot days guests can even dip their toes in the puppy pool. Regardless of where your pet chooses to hang…they will enjoy tons of attention, appropriate toys, fresh Poland Spring water, healthy treats (upon approval) and cool A/C or heat. All 3 levels in my home offer flatscreen TVs and Alexas to provide a comfy atmosphere in each area. Crates are available upon request. I am located on a beautiful, gated property with tons of grass and trees, perfect for long walks. My priority is to provide a safe, comfortable and relaxing environment while caring for your baby during their stay! My condo is under 24/7 exterior/interior surveillance to ensure my guests safety at all times. You’ll receive daily updates including pics and details of your pet’s experience while in my care, so you can rest easy that your pup is in good hands!

Christi is an unbelievable person and a perfect fit for out 2 Labs. They hit it off right away and our girls fell in love with her. They are 8 years old and have never been alone at night. We did not need to be concerned because they were so good together! They even slept together with her in the bed! She had to give them a few supplements that we add to our food and Christi remembered the correct supplements for each dog from our weeks earlier conversation. Highly recommend, just not when we need her. LOL

In my clients home I always have respect and take care of not only the pets but the home and property when I'm there always.

Staci is a phenomenal dog sitter! She stayed at our place for a whole week and watched two of our pups, one of whom is really quite a challenge. He has health issues and an attitude and Staci was able to accommodate his needs. Thanks to her we were able to take our first vacation together in three years!!!

About: Hi there! I’m Madison, a lifelong dog lover with 16+ years of hands-on experience. I’ve grown up with dogs and now have two pups of my own, so I’m very familiar with all types of routines, personalities, and needs. I’ve also had plenty of experience with dog boarding, doggy day care, and overnight care, although those services are currently on hold. I work from about 7 AM to 2 PM, which means I’m home early in the afternoon for walks, cuddles, and check-ins. I’m also fully available during holidays. I’m patient, responsible, and always make sure your dog feels loved, calm, and comfortable. Whether your pup is energetic or mellow, I’m here to meet their needs and keep their tail wagging! My daily schedule actually works well for pet care. I’m out early in the morning and home by early afternoon, which gives me the rest of the day for visits, walks, and attention. I plan my errands and personal tasks around my bookings, so your pet always has a predictable routine. For house sitting and drop-in visits, I focus on keeping your pet’s normal routine steady and stress-free. I follow all of your instructions for feeding, walks, potty breaks, meds, and house rules so your pet stays comfortable in their own environment. During each visit, I make sure they get attention, playtime, and whatever level of activity they’re used to. While house sitting, I maintain a calm, respectful presence in your home, keep things tidy, and make sure your pet has company and supervision throughout the day. I’m big on communication, so you can expect updates and photos each time I’m with your pet. For dog walking, I tailor the walk to your dog’s pace and energy level. Whether they love long sniffy walks or a quicker bathroom break, I make sure they get safe, structured exercise and return home settled and happy.

About: I’ve taken care of dogs of all kinds for 5 years. Anything from puppy to elderly. I’m also able to comfortably give out medication if needed. I’m reliable and trustworthy. Your dog will be treated as if they are my own. I’m currently working full-time, but I’d be able to provide quality service and give your pets as much attention as needed since I have a set schedule. I am able to come to your home and stay overnight. I will treat them as if they are one of my own. They would be spoiled with love and attention.

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. I would ensure that I carry out your routines and can crate the dog if necessary.

About: Hi! I’m Jo, and I specialize in caring for small dogs who are used to being someone’s whole world. After struggling to find a sitter who truly only takes one dog at a time, I decided to become the kind of sitter I was searching for. I know how hard it is to leave your little one with someone else. Small dogs aren’t just pets — they’re shadows, cuddle buddies, emotional support systems, and family. They thrive on attention, routine, and feeling safe. That’s exactly what I provide. If the thought of your small dog feeling scared or lost among a pack worries you, you’ve found the safe place you’ve been looking for I work from home so will be able to give full attention. I understand small dog energy — from clingy Velcro pups to sassy little bosses. I’m patient, attentive, and very tuned in to their comfort and routines. Right now, caring for my own small dog is part of my everyday life. I follow a consistent routine with regular walks, feeding times, play sessions, and lots of affection throughout the day. I make sure my dog gets enough exercise but also has quiet time to rest, especially after walks or play. I’m very attentive to their behavior and mood, so I can quickly notice if something seems off.

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.
