About: Hello & welcome, my name is Apryl. As a lifetime animal lover & pet parent my focus is caring for animal(s) with love & respect. I specialize in 1 on 1 care (I only take multiple pet guests when they are from the same household) Currently, I am a hound mom to a 6 yr old Retired racing Greyhound, Issac Newton. I have exemplary loving experience caring for many types of dogs & cats. Whatever your pet loves: walks, quiet cuddles or anything in between, I pride myself on connecting to your beloved companion on their level. I shower my pet clients with love at every opportunity! My entire routine focuses on petcare first. I am an artist/energy therapist and spend my days with the animals in my care. I am avaliable for boarding, walks & playdates 7 days/week. When boarding a pet in my home I have a Pawsguest room which is a playroom & bedroom with room for your pet's bed, crate or both. If you prefer care in your home I will provide care based on your specifications and treat your home & beloved pet with kindness, respect & cleanliness.
“Jill is a great dog walker! She's professional, reliable, and patient with my nervous but playful pup. Would highly recommend!”
“Chelsea is reliable and consistent. She helped me out when I was overseas and had to leave my dog at my mother’s house. She was always quick to respond and kept the schedule even when my mother and I mixed up our days. Chelsea was a godsend for me and my dog and I am forever grateful. Jen G”
About: I have worked with both high energy dogs and senior dogs. I also have experience working with young puppies and ensuring all dogs are well cared for. I currently have a very flexible schedule and am able to work with the pet parent (s) to figure out the best schedule for them and their pet! I have two high energy black labs, and I always make sure they are staying active with daily walks, fetch outside or in the pool along with mental stimulation (lick mats, toys, training and puzzles). One of my dogs struggles with allergies and other health issues, so I am always in tuned to their health.
About: I lived in a house with dogs from birth to age 18, so I know how to play with them and keep them amused, set them at ease, and care for them in their senior years. My wife prefers cats to dogs, so since our marriage we have only had cats, and I very much miss the company of dogs. I currently have one dog client in the area, but I am hoping for more. I am also a volunteer at Sav-A-Pet in Port Jefferson Station. I recently retired from my career in the pharmaceutical industry, and I now have time to devote to looking after furry friends. Although I vacation a few times a year, I am otherwise available. I will strictly obey the rules set forth by my clients and honor their wishes regarding their pet's care and the care of their home.
“Kalista is such a charming woman. My Ozzy absolutely adores her. And she really came through for me when I was in a bind. She's a very compassionate person. I'm so lucky to have met her.”
About: I have years of hands-on experience caring for dogs of all ages, from playful puppies to sweet senior pets. I’m attentive, reliable, and treat every dog like they’re my own. Whether it’s, handling high-energy walks, or giving extra TLC to older pups, I tailor my care to each dog’s unique needs. What sets me apart is my calm, loving approach—and my commitment to making sure your pet feels safe, happy, and loved while you’re away. I currently work full-time from home and have a very flexible, pet-friendly schedule. I’m available Monday through Friday from 9:30 AM to 4:30 PM for walks and drop-in visits. I offer dog walking and drop-in visits in your home, so your pet can stay comfortable in their own environment. During visits, I always make sure your pet gets plenty of attention, playtime, and any care you request—whether that’s feeding, fresh water, potty breaks, or medication. For walks, I keep your dog safe, engaged, and active based on their energy level and routine. I treat every pet like my own and always aim to keep them happy, relaxed, and well cared for while you’re away.
About: I have had dogs my whole life. I have cared for special needed dogs/cats, dogs with diabetes and senior pets. I absolutely adore my animals and would share and give the same love to yours as I do mine. I’m a teacher and I work close to my home. I am able to stop by if you’re in my area throughout the day even for my own pets. I’m home around 2:30pm daily. I give food in the morning and evening. I can give medicine orally or injectable. I walk my dogs. I clean litter boxes. I play and cuddle with my animals as soon as I get home. I am mindful about what I feed my dogs and how much they get.
About: I bring years of hands-on experience caring for both dogs and cats of all ages, breeds, and temperaments—including puppies, high-energy dogs, senior pets, and shy or special-needs cats. I’m comfortable with administering medications (oral, topical, and injections), caring for pets with anxiety, and supporting senior animals with mobility issues or extra comfort needs. What sets me apart is my calm, attentive nature and my ability to quickly bond with animals. I tailor each visit to fit your pet’s unique personality—whether that means structured play and training for a puppy, slow walks and joint care for a senior dog, or quiet companionship for a sensitive cat. I’m also a bit of a neat freak, so I make sure litter boxes, food bowls, and pet spaces stay fresh and clean. I care for your pets like they’re family—because that’s exactly how they deserve to be treated. Pet care is a natural part of my daily routine—I build my schedule around the needs of the fur babies I care for. Whether it’s morning feedings, midday playtime, or evening check-ins, I’m flexible and dependable. I prioritize consistency and create a calm, familiar environment for each pet, making sure they feel secure even when their humans are away. Whether it’s a short visit or an extended stay, I’m fully present and committed to giving your pets the care and attention they deserve every single day. When caring for pets in a client’s home, safety, trust, and respect are my top priorities. I follow all care instructions to the letter, from feeding schedules and medication needs to favorite toys and hiding spots. I make sure doors, windows, and food storage are secure, and I’m mindful of any hazards specific to your home or your pets behavior. I treat your space with the same respect I’d want for my own—clean, tidy, and exactly as you left it. I also provide regular updates with photos or messages, so you can have peace of mind knowing your pets are safe, happy, and in loving hands.

“Corinne was great with our puppy! We will most definitely book her again!”
About: I've had the chance to walk different kinds of dogs- some full of energy who love to run and play, and others who prefer to take things slow and sniff everything along the way. I always adjust to each dog's personality and pace to make sure they feel comfortable and enjoy their walk. Whether they need a fun, active outing or a relaxed stroll, I do my best to make it a great experience for them. Plus, safety is always my priority, so you can feel at ease knowing your pup is in good hands! I work part-time, so I'm available at any time on weekdays. Whether you need a morning, afternoon, or evening walk, I can accommodate your schedule. Let me know what works best! I specialize in dog walks rather than in-home pet care, but safety and trust are always my top priorities. During walks, I ensure dogs are securely leashed, stay in safe areas, and avoid anything harmful. I also pay close attention to their comfort and surroundings to ensure a stress-free and enjoyable experience. Additionally, I have a fenced house, providing a secure space if needed. Pet owners can trust that their dogs are in good hands with me!

Apryl P.
“I have a large, extremely temperamental dog who can certainly be challenging. It is very difficult securing quality care for him. Apryl has cared for him on quite a few occasions . She’s like a dog whisperer! Her calm welcoming, loving atmosphere allows me to feel comfortable when Valentino is in her care. She gives her canine guests healthy attention in a safe environment. I can’t thank her enough for the peace of mind I have knowing she is caring for my fur child! Thank you, Thank you, Thank you!!”

Hannah B.
“Hannah is incredibly trustworthy and responsive in her interactions with others' pets. She has watched my pets before for an extended period of time, and provided plenty of updates and kept them very safe. One of my pets is quite elderly with specific health conditions, and she was able to manage them effectively and follow directions left by me.”
Robert W.
“To be totally upfront, Bob is my brother and not a friend. So I am far from unbiased in this. On the other hand, having grown up with him I'm more than familiar with his history with pets. Growing up we had dogs and cats and birds and hamsters, etc in the household. He is very comfortable around household pets and deals with them in a very patient, reliable and kind manner. He's even good with finicky cats, as he and his spouse of many years have two in their home. You probably know from his application that he has a graduate degree from Columbia and has recently retired after many years of employment. In short (and in my somewhat biased opinion), he's a portrait in responsibility and will undoubtedly treat any animals assigned to him with kindness and exceptional care. Any animals left in his care will be in good hands”

I get plenty of happy updates and photos as well. It's such a relief knowing she's in great hands and having so much fun while I'm away. I highly recommend Jen to take care of your babies... they will be well-loved and very well cared for!”
Michelle H.
“Michelle has cared for my animals—two dogs and two cats—several times. She brings an amazing atmosphere, attention to detail, and safety. Michelle has administered vitamin supplements along with medication and alerted me when my animals' behavior changed. She helped reassure them with a lot of love and handled my animals with care, love, safety, and respect. I couldn't ask for a better sitter! Thank you, Michelle!”
Brooke J.
“Brooke loves all animals and gives tons of attention to all her pets and spoils them with lots of love. She has pet sat for me in the past and my dogs love her. When they see her coming to my front door they get so excited they can hardly contain themselves. As soon as she walks through the door they jump all over her and lick her to death. I would highly recommend Brooke to pet sit for you.”

Lauren R.
“Having a senior fur baby has made going away virtually impossible for fear that I would never be able to find a pet sitter who could give specialized care to my senior dog and who did not mind the extra surprises that sometimes come with caring for senior pets.My blind, fairly deaf and quite senior 12 year old Chihuahua Tito , not only was taken care of as I would take care of him by Lauren but she gave him such amazing care that I returned home to not only find him well but also found him in wonderful spirits! His bedding area was super clean and fresh and his bathroom area was neat and dry. I am thrilled to have found someone who took care of my fur baby just as I do and I am so confident in Lauren’s expertise that I cannot wait to book my next adventure. Peace of mind is everything , if you want a great pet sitter that you can rely on, then I highly recommend Lauren, The Labrador Whisper.”
