Pet Sitting in Staten Island

About: I’m caring, patient, and I treat all pets like they’re my own. I always pay attention to the small details that make them feel safe and happy. :) Every animal has their own unique personality and I take the time to understand what makes them comfortable, whether that’s a fun time, or just quiet company. 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’m available from 6 am to 4 pm, Monday through Thursday. On Fridays, Saturdays, and Sundays, I’m available all day! I can make schedule adjustments for special occasions! I’m fully dedicated to ensuring your pets are safe and sound every moment they’re with me! I’m happy to do regular texts or video calls throughout their time with me. If you have any worries about your pets’ well-being, please don’t hesitate to reach out!

“Alexis was phenomenal! Our cat can be a lot to handle, he is just still learning a lot but she was so gracious with him. She took such good care of him, played with him during every visit, and made sure all his dishes and litter boxes were clean when we got home. I will not hesitate to rebook her in the future!”

“Paula was excellent!! She was on time, professional and caring to my 2 pups. They get medications and she ensured they were given on time. She even washed any dishes the dogs used. I will definitely use her again”

“Melisa's cat-sitting service was excellent. We were glad to come home to find Benny happy, well-fed, and given lots of attention - and the apartment was kept clean. Our cat has special needs so it was a relief to be able to rely on Melisa's dependable communication and dedication to her work. It's clear she has a lot of love and compassion for pets!”

“Nervana was wonderful! My dogs require medication 2x a day and she ensured they received everything they needed. The pictures she sent at each visit put my mind at rest. Thank you!!”

About: As a dog owner myself, I love long walks and hang outs with my 4 legged friends. At home I have 2 dogs of my own, Bruno a 3 year old LabPit mix, who is friendly, loving, and very active. He loves to play fetch and run but also cuddle on the sofa when resting at home. Lola is a 10 year old Maltese/Shih tzu mix who loves her naps and shorter walks. Our daily activities include long walks or runs around the neighborhood; twice a day and a short midday walk. Although Lola doesn’t always keep up with her brother, she enjoys accompanying us in our hikes and so she comes along in her backpack! At home we also I also have 2 parakeets who bring us lots of joy. Aside from my personal pets, I have also fostered 11 dogs through an organization here in Staten Island. I took in dogs ranging of ages from 3 puppies of 5 weeks to a 6 year old pup. Some with medical need such as taking prescribed medication, special diets or receiving medicated baths. Here your furry friend will have company from my two 4 legged friends, she/he will play and receive lots of physical activity, but if they are more couch potatoes, that works too! Their needs will be catered. They will be part of our pack until you are ready to return home! During weekdays, pets will receive morning, afternoon and night walks. During days when I am at work, they get their longer walks during the afternoon and nights since I work 8-3 outside of the home. In the afternoon I make sure to give them lots of attention and weather permitting, take them to the yard to play fetch or let them run around a bit. During weekends, they receive longer walks/ park visits earlier in the day. Morning walks turn into park visits or small hikes, then midday walks depending on when we get home and night walks. Although my yard is not fenced, I have long 30 ft leashes long give your dog opportunity to run as they pleased. At my home, they will have friends to play with, feel love and care for. I love communicating with fur parents on how their pets are doing and easing any worry they may have about leaving their pet behind.

“Taylor did an amazing job with my dogs. She was on time and communicated with me throughout the entire visit. I would recommend Taylor for any type of pet needs.”

About: Since the day i was born i have had a small zoo in my home. Over the years i have had pets such as cats, dogs, birds, fish, reptiles and small animals. I absolutely love caring for my animals and it means the world to me to see them healthy and living their best lives! I currently have a 70+ lb pitbull of my own and spend alot of my free time volunteering at an Animal shelter in NJ. Most of that time is spent walking large (sometimes reactive) dogs, so large breeds and strong pullers are not a problem! I am available for drop ins and walks Monday- Friday (and certain weekends). As long as i do not already have a booking, i am usually available too help my fellow animal lovers with their pet care needs! ** Please note, I cannot accommodate over night sittings but I can stay with your pet late into the evening and return early the next morning. ** I never leave animals unattended outside ( including fenced in yards). I also assure that all food and treats being offered are approved by the pet parents which i am working with. I also am very careful about keeping dangerous/toxic household items and plants far out of reach of any animals!

About: Pups have been a part of my life since I can remember. I grew up loving & caring for our family dogs - Max our rambunctious Dachshund & Pulco our gentle giant Lab Retriever. Since Max & Pulco I have been a second mom to all of my friends pups whenever they need a walk a home away from home stay or simply a play date. My freelance work schedule allows me time to dedicate to my love of dogs. I live in a house with a very large fenced backyard. Aside from walks pup who stay with me will always have access to the yard granting them extra outdoor exercise & playtime. I always like to send photos & videos of pups during their stay to keep their parents at ease :)

About: I have cared for my own pets since I was a child. I’ve always loved animals and have always had pets. I’ve rescued and helped strays cats along with my other family members. One of my most special cats had asthma and had to use and inhaler. I am capable handling medical needs for pets as I’ve also owned english bulldogs and they’ve had various skin allergies so I’m aware of allergy needs for special cats and dogs. I’ve recently started caring for chickens too lol. I have enough patience to help with basic training such as give paw/high fives, potty training and sit. My own pets have made it senior ages as well and am aware of older pets needs. I currently work and help care for my dad a few days a week, and I do my pet sitting at his house. He has a spacious yard where dogs can run around and play. My brother and sister also help care for our dad and pets, so they’re often around to lend a hand with pet sitting as well. I provide daily basic grooming and baths, nail trimming, medication administration, and regular walks. I also offer plenty of belly rubs and ear scratches! I clean up after the pets, prepare their meals, and ensure they are well-fed and cared for.

About: Growing up, I have always looked after dogs of close friends and family, and have studied nutrition and health, which led me to work at a pet hotel for about a year with almost every dog breed. My responsibilities included prepping food, cleaning, 1 on 1 play, and group play. I have been in charge of up to 20 dogs at 1 time. I also co-own a dog named Luna. The other owner and I had Luna since she was a puppy and she is now 5 years old. I teach obedience/behavior training to many dogs and I develop trust with dogs that is unique to my experience with various breeds. It takes patience and consistency to be a great leader for dogs and I wear my heart on my sleeve for every dog I'm caring for; communication with your dog is key. I currently work with dogs full time and make Dog care apart of my every day routine, if I'm not with my dog I'm working with other dogs. I have a good size open backyard and toys depending on the play style of your dog; crate training is much appreciated if they are familiar. Walks are frequent, especially for high energy dogs

“Yeah, that’s something he likes to do. Thank you for walking him in short notice.”

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!

About: Pet Care Experience: I have always loved dogs. I have loved and cared for two of my dogs and have 10+ years of experience caring for dogs and cats. I always want to make sure that you have peace of mind when your fur baby is in my care. I am available for dog walking as well as dog sitting, and doggie daycare, inside your home or at my pet-friendly home. I have cared for many of my friends and family’s dogs both large and small, both boarding and sitting in their home. In addition to feeding, walking, and playing with them, I would also make sure to clean their face and eyes, and wipe their paws after walks. One of the dogs had diabetes, so I know how to administer insulin injections and other meds. I take heed in listening to and following your care instructions and will always keep in touch with you via phone and send pictures. I am also available for meet and greets should you wish beforehand to better put your mind at ease. I am available in Staten Island, Bay Ridge, Bensonhurst, and Brooklyn. Thank you for considering me. I look forward to building a relationship of trust with both you and your pet. I am currently not working full time so I have time for weekend boarding, during day time can dog sit or walk your fur baby. I have a fenced yard when the weather is good to play with your fur baby outside. I also have a safe apartment that is dog-friendly.

“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.”

Marianne L.

“It is so nice to find someone that we can trust to stop in with Sirius. Kelly is obviously so patient with him and spends a lot of time making sure he gets a long walk. We will definitely be calling her again. Thank you!”

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.
