Pet Sitting in Shrub Oak

About: I have nearly four years of experience in a veterinary hospital as a kennel technician, where I care for dogs and cats of all ages, sizes, breeds, and medical needs. I am comfortable administering oral and topical medications, monitoring for signs of illness or stress, and handling a wide range of temperaments. Outside of work, I have grown up with dogs my entire life and currently have an 8 year old golden retriever of my own. I have cared for many age ranges from senior to a weeks old. I have also had other pets, including a rabbit, so I understand that every animal has unique needs and personalities. My clinical experience, combined with my lifelong love of animals, allows me to provide attentive and reliable care. Whether your pet is energetic, shy, senior, or needs extra patience, I will treat them as if they were my own while you’re away. I am a full time student during the school year but on breaks I work around 3/4 days a week so I have plenty of time and flexibility to take care of your furry friends whenever you need me to! I do not have a set work schedule and can adapt relatively easily. I currently have a golden retriever who I love with all my heart. I can do whatever is necessary to care for your pet and have seen many different special instructions at my job. From medications to special diets I have seen a diverse range of special needs that I am well equipped to handle. I am experienced in senior care for pets, exotics, different energy or temperament levels, and many more areas.

“Andrea is great! She’s reliable and always on time. I highly recommend her to anyone that needs drop in visits!”

About: I have been taking care of pets since I was a child! My love for animals has motivated me to enroll in vet tech school, starting this fall. I specialize in small mammals, such as rabbits and hamsters, and have owned my own. I have also cared for guinea pigs, parakeets, and aquariums. For dogs, I have experience working with both small and large breeds! I regularly look after my neighbor's dog, and love every opportunity I get to spend time with her. For cats, I have primarily done drop in visits, but have experience with administering medicine to shy cats by building trust over time. I currently do not own pets of my own, so I will be able to give your pet my full attention and care! I am currently spending my summer before starting vet tech school working part time, volunteering at local shelters, and shadowing at clinics. I work weekends, but can still do an early morning or evening visit if needed! Your pet's comfort and safety is my number one priority and I will care for them as if they are my own! Communication and trust is important to me, so I will update you regularly on their happiness and health.

About: I've had dogs my whole life and have cared for dog at every size and life stage. From puppies to seniors, I'm happy to cater to your dogs needs. For walks, I have experience with dogs who are pullers and those who like to go at a slower pace. I also have experience cat sitting for a few family friends cats. Just let me know the type of attention your pet needs and I'm happy to cater to them. Also, I am a current online graduate student so I have lots of time to hang out with your furry family members! I'm currently pursuing an online masters degree, which means I am very flexible with my hours. As long as I can bring my computer to get some work done during the day, anytime is fine with me. I would love to cuddle with your pet while watching lectures, and take much needed study breaks to go for a walk or play a game of fetch! I have experience housesitting while watching furry friends. I'm happy to cater to your pets' needs and find what activity is the most fulfilling for them.

“Julia and her husband Dylan watched our pups and they were wonderful! Took care of both of our mid-size dogs giving them lots of love and making sure they felt cared for while we were away. I would highly recommend the duo for dog watching! Amazing! Would definitely reach out again to use their services.”

“1st time meeting Brendan. I was worried my dogs would be nervous with but they immediately loved him. I’m so glad they were comfortable with him, he was on the floor playing and petting them. I’m so grateful my pups will be in good hands when I’m away.”

About: I am an animal lover. I have had animals my entire life ( cats, dogs, snakes, tarantulas, lizards, fish, turtles, and chinchillas). I understand the responsibility it takes to care for all animals . I am very patient and show compassion to the needs of all animals. I am currently the owner of 3 cats and a dog. I find being around animals very relaxing. I enjoy playing with them and look forward to making a connection with the animal so that it feels safe and joyful. I also have a great understanding to the different temperaments of all animals. I would love for the owner and animal to feel that their in good hands at all times. I will follow all the rules and wishes that the owner feels necessary for their animals to feel safe. I am currently working as a school teacher for 21 years. I am available 3:30pm- 10:00pm on weekdays and on the weekend I am available all weekend. Available majority of the summer as well. I have 2 cats that are house bound. I have an Alaskan Klee Kai that is allowed to be out with supervision. We are not fenced in.

About: I’ve had dogs my entire life and understand the care each one (puppy-senior) requires. Many friends, family, and coworkers have trusted me to care for their fur babies - walks, feedings, drop-ins, etc. They have all become family to me! 🧡 That being said, I’d love to be apart of your pet’s daily care! I am currently available after 5pm Monday-Thursday, after 3:30pm on Friday and between 8:30am- late evening on Saturday and Sunday. I am very flexible overall! I have experience teaching basic dog training commands - sit, lay down, roll over, paw, etc. I can walk (3) dogs at a time. Long walks and play are essential for their well-being and health. Happy to take them to dog parks too!

About: Large dogs are my specialty, I enjoy walking and playing with them. I have plenty of room to play in the back yard or go for a long walk on a nature trail. I have experience in kenneling, potty training and leash training dogs. I work full time but have every afternoon and weekend available. I would enjoy walking a pet after work and am available to do overnight care. I have a pet friendly and private apartment with a large private back yard. I am very close to the black river trail which is excellent for dog walking.

“It was such a relief to be able to go on vacation and know our cats weren't just being fed, but truly taken care of. Stacy was very communicative and we could tell she made good friends with our cats - they still ask when shes coming back. She came over in advance to get a lay of the land and meet them and learn all their hiding spots. She even took the litter when she left so we wouldn't have to deal with it. Stacy really was wonderful and knowing our cats were being loved by someone with such great experience while we were away was such a gift!”

About: I've had cats and dogs my whole life and know how to make animals feel comfortable and cared for. I offer dog walking and cat boarding from my home in Yorktown Heights. Guest cats stay in their own private room with fresh food, water, and a clean litter box. For dog walking I keep things low stress, consistent, and fun. I work from home regularly so I'm around often and take every pet's routine seriously. I treat every animal like my own. I work from home frequently which means pets in my care are never left alone for long stretches. For dog walking I'm flexible on timing and can work around your schedule for morning, afternoon, or evening walks. For cat boarding, guest cats get visits multiple times a day including morning feeding, a midday check-in, and an evening wind-down with fresh food, clean water, and a scooped litter box. Weekends I'm generally very available and weekdays I can accommodate most requests with a little advance notice. I genuinely enjoy spending time with and meeting new animals so this isn't a job to me, it's a passion. I have a dog and two cats of my own so I know firsthand what animals need to feel safe and comfortable. Guest cats are kept in their own private, dedicated room completely separate from my resident pets, giving them a quiet space to decompress and settle in at their own pace. For dog walking I keep things calm and consistent, always on leash, through the safe residential streets of Yorktown Heights or local parks where my dog frequents himself. I pay close attention to each animal's personality and adjust my approach accordingly. Whether a pet is social and energetic or shy and cautious, I make sure they feel comfortable and cared for. My home is peaceful, clean, and genuinely pet friendly.

About: To keep things calm and cozy, I only host one dog at a time, or up to two dogs from the same household. About Us: Hi! I’m excited to offer dog walking, drop-in visits, and boarding for dogs in a calm, cozy home environment. I’m (Chloe) the primary sitter, and my husband, Aaron, will help out and give your pets lots of love when he's around. We both grew up with dogs of all breeds and sizes, so we’re comfortable caring for dogs of any age, size, or personality. I also spent six years working as an office manager for a dog training franchise, giving me great insight into dog behavior. I truly enjoy bonding with dogs, whether it’s walking, playing, or giving extra love and cuddles. My goal is to make every dog feel comfortable, happy, and cared for while you’re away. Availability: I’m primarily available weekends (Saturday & Sunday), when I’m home to provide lots of attention, walks, and cuddles. I also offer limited weekday evening availability after 4 PM with advance notice, as I work full-time during the week. For boarding, Friday drop-offs after 4 PM work best. During school holidays and long weekends, I’m usually home and happy to offer a safe, cozy place for your dog while you’re out visiting family or traveling. These openings are reflected in my calendar. Services I Offer: Dog walks: 30-minute or 1-hour options Drop-in visits: feeding, playtime, bathroom breaks Boarding at my home Administering medication (oral/topical, excluding injections) Special care: pets with anxiety or other special needs Regular updates: photos and texts so you can relax while away Why Choose Me: If your dog enjoys: Calm, cozy surroundings Lots of love, cuddles, and attention Consistent routines, playtime, and the option for long walks in scenic areas (if owner prefers) I’d love to provide reliable, affectionate care while you’re away. My home is clean and well-maintained, so your dog will be safe, comfortable, and stress-free.

I’m primarily available weekends (Saturday & Sunday, 8 AM–5 PM), when I’m home to provide lots of attention, walks, and cuddles. I also offer limited weekday evening availability after 4 PM with advance notice, as I work full-time during the week. For boarding, Friday drop-offs after 4 PM work best. During school holidays and long weekends, I’m usually home and happy to offer a safe, cozy place for your dog while you’re out visiting family or traveling. Please note I only host one dog at a time, or up to two dogs from the same household. When caring for pets, I prioritize their safety, comfort, and happiness. I take time to learn each pet’s routine, preferences, and specific needs (medication, feeding, anxiety triggers) and follow any instructions to maintain a consistent environment. On walks, I use a secure leash, follow your preferred route, and stay mindful of traffic, other animals, and surroundings to make it safe and enjoyable. In your home, I treat your space with respect, keep it tidy, and provide regular updates with photos and messages so you always know how your pet is doing. Your dog’s well-being is my top priority, and I strive to offer them love and care as if they were my own.

About: I’ve been caring for dogs since childhood, growing up in a dog-loving home with up to four pups at once ranging from 15 to 75 pounds! I’m comfortable with all breeds and sizes, and I have experience with both playful pups and senior dogs. In college, I was part of the 4 Paws club, where I walked and watched service dogs in training, giving me extra skills to handle all types of dogs. I am available 7 days a week to focus on the needs of your pet, whether that’s walks, playtime, or just keeping them company. I’m flexible, reliable, and more than happy to build a routine that works best for you and your pet. Whether I’m in your home or mine, I make sure to put your pet’s safety, comfort, and happiness first. I am more than happy to take your pet to local dog parks, if that’s something you’re comfortable with. If you prefer your pet stays in a fenced yard or neighborhood walks, that works too! I will always follow your preferences and your pet’s routine.
