About: I have lived with cats my whole life so I am very comfortable with them and know how to read them, even ones that are on the more temperamental side. I also have experience taking care of kittens. Dogs and cats both love me because I love to give them attention and am happy to play or cuddle with them. I have experience caring for dogs with challenges such as PTSD and anxiety. Currently this is my main job, so I have a lot of availability and can devote a lot of time and attention to your pet. I am happy to drive or take the train to your home in Nassau, Queens, or Brooklyn. I am available for short drop in visits or long term housesitting and overnight stays.

“Stephanie is sweet and caring, with a true passion for animals. She was absolutely wonderful with my dog. Upon meeting her and seeing her interact with my pup, I was immediately put at ease about leaving him in her care. Her dog training experience was evident. Would recommend and use again!”

About: I've taken care of cats since I was little. I have experience of 21 years taking care of my cat but I also have experience with drop in visits for my friends and neighbors cats. No litterbox scare me ! I'm currently working full time in the call center. I have time on the morning before work and afternoon after 5pm. Currently I can't have a cat due to my living accomodations and that's why I would love to help other cat lovers to take care of their cats I know that each cat is different. I always try to read characters of the cats I'm taking care of and I'm always careful with doors to prevent any unauthorized cat field trips.

About: i have had 3 dogs in my lifetime, all mixed labs. All living to 14.5 years old. During their lives, I have always taken them to dog training at first, kept up with their Vet visits and provided medication for the usual things dogs can catch, walked them, taken them to dog parks, socialized them with people and all sized dogs. If there is a place on Long Island that allows dogs, I most probably have been there. I have also cared for dogs, of friends, in my home, so I have references. I no longer have a house, I have a co-op, so I am not allowed to care for your dog in my home, unfortunately. I am recently retired, so I am free most days. I worked for the phone company for 31 years, as a receptionist for 12 years, and as a teller for Chase bank for 2 years. And raised 3 children. When I dog sit for your dog, your rules are the rules. I will follow the schedule that you give me. Walking and feeding is what I am there for. And lots of LOVE.

“Absolutely fantastic cat sitter!! My babies were fed and happy boys when I came home. Anna was super communicative and thorough! I highly recommend her and will be hiring her again for future bookings ☺️ My little Boo and Sully were happy kitties :)”

About: With over 27 years of hands-on experience in animal care, I have dedicated much of my life to nurturing, raising, and understanding the needs of a wide variety of animals. From a young age, I was immersed in environments that required consistent, compassionate care for pets, developing a deep-rooted passion and natural intuition for animal welfare. Throughout the years, I’ve gained extensive experience in feeding, grooming, administering basic medications, and observing animal behavior for signs of distress or illness. My approach is always centered around patience, empathy, and attention to individual needs—ensuring that every animal in my care feels safe, loved, and well-cared for. I currently have a beloved fur baby of my own, who receives the highest standard of care and attention.

The space is ideal for dogs who love to run, play fetch, or simply lounge in the sun. Supervised outdoor time is incorporated into the daily routine, ensuring plenty of opportunities for physical activity and mental stimulation. In addition, I have a friendly, well-socialized dog who can serve as a playful companion if your pet enjoys the company of others. However, I also understand that not all pets are social butterflies, and I am fully prepared to keep them separated to ensure a calm and stress-free environment for everyone. Whether your pet thrives on companionship or prefers their own space, I adapt to what makes them most comfortable and secure.
