Ani was fabulous in every way! She took great care of my cat Kramer. Plenty of time spent playing with him, feeding him, and of course sending me some great pictures! I highly recommend her and look forward to having her come back again!

Deb was a pleasure to work with. She fed my pets in a timely manner and sent pictures. She even got a picture of my notoriously shy cat. I highly recommend Deb.

About: I have over 35 years of experience caring for dogs, having grown up with them and always been around them. I specialize in taking dogs on long walks and engaging them in play, making sure they get the exercise they need. I've cared for dogs belonging to neighbors, friends, family members, and other clients, which has broadened my experience with different breeds and personalities. I work part-time and care for my elderly father, which gives me a flexible schedule for dog walking and weekend pet sitting. I lead an active lifestyle and love taking dogs on long walks and playing with them to keep them happy and healthy. I provide a safe and comfortable environment for pets at their home. I follow their routines and ensure they feel secure and cared for. Keeping pets safe is my top priority, whether I’m walking them or watching them at home.

About: I'm a former dog walker and dog sitter in Brooklyn, NY (2+ years), sometimes working with up to 12 dogs a day, and then house sitting right after. I also volunteered for two years on the weekends as a dog walker at Sean Casey Animal Rescue. I'm currently seeking clients who need dog walking or dog sitting services on Long Island! I'm currently an organic farmer on the North Fork, which means I work seasonally, so once November comes around I'm free as a bird for all of your pet care needs until mid-late March! I've worked with puppies, elderly dogs, dogs with very specific diets, medication, vitamins, and even a few tough cookies who had difficult backgrounds. I'm open to it all. I'm a full time organic farmer from the months of April-October. Once November comes around my hours open up significantly, and by mid November I'm completely free until March. Like I would my own pet, with attention, care, love and following the exact specifications of the pups owner. I understand every dog is different and have very different personalities, so I try to cater to each dogs unique needs.

About: When I take care of your pet I will treat them like part of the family. I have over a decade of experience caring for pets of all sizes. I can also take care of small pets like Rabbits, Hamsters, Guinea pigs, and even Birds. Past employers have described me as optimistic, dependable, enthusiastic, and motivated to provide the best care. Ensuring the safety of the pet is a top priority. The safety steps I take in advance is always keeping a firm grip on the leash while walking, keeping an eye out on the overall environment that the pet is in, never leaving anything edible out on the counter within a home, making sure the dog is hydrated or fed if needed, and always having my cell phone on me. Communication is key. I am always able to deliver a full written detailed report along with photos to the owner. I understand each pet has their own unique personality and needs. I grew up taking care of multiple dogs within my immediate family. Friends of mine would always ask for me to care for their dogs too. I believe all pets deserve the best care. I will gladly cuddle your pet or give them hugs if they enjoy so. Some activities that I do when I work with dogs is taking them on long energizing walks or runs if they prefer, playing ball in the park, feeding or giving fresh water. It would be a joy to help care for your pet! I have one dog living with me named Bruno , 3 others live with my brother. Usually I get up in the morning and run errands. When I get up I usually walk Bruno in the morning and afternoon if I don’t have any clients. I take very good care of my dog Bruno and will treat your dog the same way. I find it important to have a connection with the dog, so they feel more comfortable and happy. So doing daily walks twice a day, playing with the dog, giving the dog the attention it wants is what I’m really good at. I cannot board right now because of a lot of construction at the house. I can do house sits and drop in visits and walks.

Julie watched our two cats while my husband and I were away for 8 days. We felt sure we could trust her after our meet and greet. She's warm, friendly, reliable and you can tell she loves animals. We plan to book Julie again and highly recommend her!

About: Greetings, After graduating from college 30 years ago, I decided to become a professional dog walker/animal care specialist. I am currently walking multiple dogs all over the Long island area. My intense love for all dogs is inexplicable. I prefer being in the presence of dogs over humanity. If there is such thing as reincarnation I am coming back as a dog. Funny. Rest assure that the love of your life will be in good hands , to say the least. I am flexible and highly experienced. Additionally, passionate about dog rescue. If I had the means I would open up a giant sanctuary to rescue every stray or abandoned dog. Obviously that is a dream, and realistically I cannot make that happen. However, I can be the perfect companion for your precious dog. Thank you for stopping in and viewing my profile.
