About: *DOGS MUST BE GOOD WITH OTHER DOGS AND CATS* (I have THREE CATS and A DOG!!) My times for daycare are 8 am - 6 pm ONLY! (Mon-Fri) if outside this range, I will discuss additional payment. I have had dogs since I was a child. I’ve always had a love and care for any animal no matter the breed or size. During college, I worked at a vet as a daycare kennel assistant where I gained knowledge on the care of dogs. I know how to walk dogs, bathe them, cut their nails, etc. I work from home so I’m able to look over your fur baby! My boyfriend helps me from time to time and will help me look after any animal I have. I do go to the gym every so often so your dog needs to be able to be by themselves at least 1 hour, either crate trained or is able to be out without scratching or destroying anything. I have a fenced yard and live in a dog friendly neighborhood. I have a border collie mix and 3 cats in my house who are used to being around other dogs and mostly keep to themselves! If needed, my cats are able to be separated from your fur baby but I prefer friendly dogs!

Jenna did a great job taking care of my two cats and home while I was away! She especially navigated well my one cat who doesn’t take too kindly to strangers in his house.

Alexis was wonderful with my dog and cat. She met them a week before. My dog instantly got along with her. Alexis has a very kind and caring aura to her that my pets picked up on and were comfortable with her right away. My husband and I will be reaching out to her for any future trips.

About: Hello fellow animal lovers. I am a Veterinary Technician with over 20 years of experience for caring for hundreds of dogs, cats, birds and any kind of animal you can think of. My husband Andres is also a vet tech with over 15 years of experience and he helps me take care of any of the pets I watch. I used to mainly watch dogs in my home but since Covid we had a baby and she is allergic to dogs so I can't board in my home anymore which makes me very sad. Hopefully my daughter will grow out of her allergies eventually because we really do miss having dogs in our home and she loves dogs too. So now I can only do drop in visits at your home for any type of pet. I am currently not working and am a stay at home Mom but my daughter is in school now so I can do drop ins during school hours and then after my husband comes home from work in the evenings. I have dedicated my life to caring for and helping all animals and I have loved every second of it. I have experience with every age, breed, species and medical problem. I have years of experience of caring for any illness, physical and behavioral problems and administering any medications or medical treatments necessary. I have had many dogs, cats and other small creatures of my own that i have loved and cared for over the years as well. I love taking dogs out to play and bringing them to the park or wherever they enjoy going to the most. I have a car and can travel to any part of Staten Island. Nothing makes me happier than spending time and playing with as many little fur babies as i can. You can set your mind at ease knowing that experienced, caring veterinary technicians are caring for your precious baby while you are away. I am a Veterinary Technician with over 20 years of experience for caring for hundreds of dogs,cats, birds and any kind of animal you can think of. I have dedicated my life to care for and help all animals and i have loved every second of it. I have experience with every age, breed, and medical problem. I have years of experience of caring for any illness. physical and behavioral problems and administering any medications or medical treatments necessary. I have had many dogs, cats and other small creatures of my own that i have loved and cared for over the years as well. Why I love dog sitting I have had dogs since i was an infant. I had a German Shepherd that was the same age as i was when i was a baby and we grew up together. He was my best friend and we did everything together and i still miss him to this day. I have had many German Shepherds and other dogs since then and have loved them all just as much as my first dog. I have dedicated my life to caring for and helping every living creature there is and i love them all. About my yard Large fenced in yard with plenty of room to run around and play. We love playing ball and Frisbee with all the dogs we watch and spending quality play time with everyone. My experience administering medication Yes. I have over 20 years experience of administering any medications needed and performing any medical treatments needed as well such as injections, sub q fluids, wound care and anything else needed. I am currently not working and am a stay at home Mom but my daughter is in school now so I can do drop ins during school hours and then after my husband comes home from work in the evenings. I can care for your pet in your home and drop in 2-3 times a day to feed them, walk them or let them out in your yard. Depending on the time of day I can stay awhile to play with them and give them the lovin they are missing from you while you're away. I know pets can be afraid sometimes with new people and I like to take my time to show them that they can trust me and I will love them as much as you do and help ease their fears if they have any. I have many years of learning animal behavior working as a Veterinary technician and learning to help fearful pets.

Abigail was excellent with our dog. She was always on time and made sure Hazel got lots of exercise and attention when she visited. She listened to our needs and made sure to follow everything we asked of her and kept Hazel's routines as close as to what she was already used to. Our dog loved her and we will def be using Abigail again.

We are a repeat customers of Oleg. This time he took care of my dog while we were away for the entire week. He took such great care of her! He walked her and petted her and made sure she was eating. I could not be happier with how he treated my dog, it is as if she was his own pet. He loves animals and it shows. And special thank you for saving a baby turtle that fell into our pool.

About: Hi! I’m a dog lover and proud dog mom to my rescue pup, China 🐾 I also have experience with cats as I grew up with one my whole life, so I’m comfortable caring for both dogs and cats! I’ve pet sat for friends and family over the years and know how important it is to have someone trustworthy and caring looking after your pets. I’m available on weekends for walks and drop-ins and I’ll always treat your pets like they’re my own 😊 Pet care is already a big part of my daily routine since I have my own dog, China. My weekends are usually pretty flexible, which is why I’m available for walks and drop-ins. I genuinely enjoy spending time with animals, so fitting pet care into my routine feels natural! When caring for pets in a client’s home, I try to keep them as comfortable and stress free as possible by following their normal routine closely. For walks and drop-ins, I make sure pets get plenty of attention, exercise, potty breaks, fresh water, meals if needed, and of course lots of love and care. I also know how important updates are, so I’m happy to send photos and check-ins!

About: After working at PetSmart's PetsHotel and Grooming Salon, I’ve completed several courses focusing on behavior, stress cues, and the unique needs inherent to different dog breeds. I treat all pets like they’re my own and always make sure they feel safe and happy. Message me for availability and I’ll let you know what I have available for that week or the week following because I’m currently working and in school my availability varies Your pets are safe and sound every moment they’re with me but I’m happy to do regular texts throughout our session if you need any updates on their well being

About: I've been caring for pets professionally for over 10 years. I'm not just a caregiver; I'm a devoted pet parent myself. My own fur babies are like my children, and I treat every pet I care for with the same love, attention, and respect. I work full time but with a very flexible schedule. I work from home & occasionally go into the city. I’m comfortable with all age groups Whether it's daily walks, playtime, cuddles, or just keeping your pet company while you're away, I bring patience, experience, and genuine affection to every visit. I understand how important it is to feel your pet is in good hands--and that's exactly what I strive to provide.

About: Cats, cats, cats — I just love them! I’ve been around cats since I was 12, when I lived with my grandmother who taught me how to care for them with patience and love. I’ve done everything from bottle-feeding tiny kittens to helping mama cats through birth. Over the years, I’ve learned that every cat is unique — some are shy, some playful, and some just want a calm, quiet cuddle. I also partner with the Animal Hope program in Staten Island to help homeless cats, which is really close to my heart. I’ve been cat sitting for many years now, and I have a spacious home that’s fully set up for them — with plenty of toys, cozy spots, and cat trees to climb and explore When I take care of a cat, I don’t just ‘look after’ them. I make sure they feel safe, comfortable, and loved, just like they’re one of my own. BOOK YOUR VISIT TODAY! I’ve been cat sitting for many years and have a spacious home set up just for them — with toys, cozy spots, and cat trees to climb and explore. I also partner with the Animal Hope program in Staten Island to help homeless cats, which is something very close to my heart. Since I work remotely, I’m home most of the day and can give your cat plenty of attention, playtime, and care. I truly love being around cats and treat every single one like family. Fun fact: I even celebrate my own cats’ birthdays 🎉🐾 I live in a spacious house with plenty of natural sunlight and a big backyard. It’s a calm, cozy space where cats can feel at ease and explore comfortably. I also had set up cat trees, toys, and plenty of cozy spots for lounging or playtime — your cat will have lots of room to relax and have fun!

This is the second time Taylor has taken care of my 5 cats. She was great with them and they can sometimes be handful. One is on a special diet and others need to be monitored as they eat. She followed all instructions and sent great pictures. I would definitely trust her with my furbabies again.
