Dog Sitting Tenafly

About: With a strong background as a Veterinary Assistant and a Pre-Veterinary student, I bring professional, hands-on experience to every pet I care for. I have completed multiple Patterson Veterinary Academy online certificates, including training in safe pet handling, animal body language, sanitation and cleaning protocols, and overall animal care standards. Through my education and clinical experience, I’ve learned how to recognize stress signals, ensure proper handling, and create a calm, safe environment for pets of all temperaments. My approach is rooted in patience, compassion, and safety—treating every pet as if they were my own. I understand that trust is essential when caring for your pet, and my goal is to provide peace of mind to families while giving pets attentive, knowledgeable, and loving care every step of the way. Im currently working part time at the white plains veterinary hospital i am a veterinary assistant therefore my schedule works perfectly for time with your pets When caring for pets in my home or a client’s home, I focus on safety, comfort, and maintaining their normal routine. As a Veterinary Assistant and Pre-Veterinary student, I follow proper handling techniques, closely observe body language, and adjust care based on each pet’s individual needs and temperament. I ensure pets receive consistent feeding, fresh water, regular potty breaks, exercise, and enrichment. I maintain a clean and sanitized environment, follow any medical or behavioral instructions carefully, and monitor pets for signs of stress or health concerns. I treat every home with respect and every pet like family, providing calm, loving, and reliable care while keeping owners informed with updates for peace of mind

About: Hello! Shamel here! Thank you for taking the time in allowing me to introduce you and your pet to a home you can trust. Whenever my family, friends or neighbors would leave town, our home was always their first choice. All the pups that stay with me are welcomed to our home as family and they all receive the best care from us. I have grown up loving and taking care of dogs of all ages, breeds, and sizes. While we don't have a fenced-in yard, we live in a private home on a dead-end street, which gives the pups the opportunity to be walked in a quiet and safe neighborhood. We have two levels your pups can board in; each level has only five steps going up or five steps going down. If you have a mini breed or older fur baby, their safety and knees will be at ease. Our beautiful landscaping and wonderful friendly neighbors will be one of the highlights for your pup's staycation. I truly love doing this so much! I enjoy long walks, feeding, playing, and cuddling with all pups. During their stay, the dogs are never left unattended. We are 100% committed to ensuring each pup has us close-by. Our open floor plan allows us to keep a close eye on everyone. Our lower level allows your pups stay to be as private as needed. We regularly go to the park and walk around our neighborhood. If you have any questions or want to meet and greet, please reach out. We ensure 24/7 service and care for your pets. We can guarantee the best stay, where you can trust we will provide the most love for your pets! We offer a full indoor open floor plan to ensure safety at all times during boarding. We have plenty of open back space where we ensure the pups will be supervised at all times so they can enjoy a playful stay. I have plenty of time set aside daily to play with your furry family member. My schedule is open full day, 7days a week. You will have no worries booking with me and in returning back as a loyal client. I am here at your service I have an open back play area and we live in a beautiful landscaped community. Your pet will enjoy their stay while you can be at ease during your time away. Feel free to bring your pets crate and supplies and we will take care of the rest :)

I work 2 blocks away at a school come home on breaks to checks on dog or cat. I have plenty of school breaks through out the year. I keep a close eye on the dogs when Boarding with the help of my family. Also I follow your instructions as best a possible.

About: I recently said goodbye to my 18-year-old senior pup who was still as active and playful as when he was a puppy, even in his last weeks with us. I was his main caretaker since we adopted him when I was 10-years-old, so I have plenty of experience caring for dogs and prioritize keeping them safe and happy! We also had other dogs growing up, so I am used to caring for multiple dogs, dogs of various ages and sizes, and dogs of all energy levels. Specifically, as my doggo aged, I gained a lot of experience with medicine routines, slower walks, attention to health details, and all other requirements of caring for senior dogs. In college, I would housesit for families with all kinds of pets (including rabbits, geese and chickens!) and this helped me pay part of my school costs. However, I enjoyed caring for other's pets so much, I have continued to do so for years after college! I love getting to know new furry friends and making sure they are happy, exercised, well-fed, and enjoying themselves while their parents are away! I am currently working part-time, and often only for a few hours in the evening, so I have lots of time and flexibility to care for you pup, prioritizing being available for prime walking hours in the sunshine! I am willing to work around my part-time hours to meet your dog's routine needs. I am willing to care for the dogs in your home so they are comfortable in their own spaces and can generally keep their normal routines. I am flexible and willing to follow any instructions about your space that you provide.

About: I have had pets since I was a child, I have extensive background dealing with and training small and large dogs. I have a fur baby of my own (a white and brown havenese) and love meeting new puppies/dogs. I live in Inwood and my apartment is dog friendly; I also have a great park nearby for lots of outdoor playtime. The dog park is also within that park which my dog loves very much. I have a lot of free time as I’m working as a real estate professional, and love making organic doggie treats for my own pup. I can host dogs at my place for more than a week as well as offer drop in service at your home. I look forward to meeting your best friend! I’m usually available during the weekends and can board dogs or cats during the week. Currently I watch dogs/cats for repeat clients & friends either in my home or at their home. I’ll always be sure to leave the client’s home exactly as I found it, I can always dog sit while your away, and I can send photographs throughout the day and video chat if you’d prefer.

“This is the second time Arin has had a few days of check ins with my cat and very pleased! Prompt messages and always sends photos to let me know how Nellie’s doing”

About: I have over 10 years of experience caring for dogs of all sizes through my own pets and by helping friends, family, and neighbors. I understand that every dog has a unique personality, routine, and needs, so I take the time to make each one feel safe, comfortable, and loved. Whether it’s going on walks, feeding, playtime, administering basic medications, or simply providing companionship, I treat every pet as if they were my own. I also send photo updates after every visit because I know how reassuring it is for pet parents to see their furry family member happy and well cared for. From energetic puppies to shy or senior dogs, I’m patient, attentive, and committed to following each owner’s instructions to ensure their pet receives the highest quality care. Pet care fits perfectly into my schedule, allowing me to dedicate quality time and attention to every visit. I do my best to be flexible and accommodate each pet owner’s needs whenever possible. Whether your dog needs a walk, drop-in visit, or extra playtime, I’m committed to being dependable, punctual, and making sure your pet gets the care and attention they deserve while you’re away. Your pet’s safety and comfort are always my top priorities. I carefully follow each owner’s instructions regarding feeding schedules, medications, exercise, and routines to help pets feel secure and maintain consistency. I pay close attention during walks, use secure leashes and harnesses, and always keep a clean, calm environment. I understand that trusting someone with your pet is a big decision, so I strive to provide dependable care, clear communication, and regular photo updates so you can have peace of mind while you’re away.

About: I've taken care of cats with conditions that require the regular administration of medicine. I would be more than happy to work to win your kitties' hearts. Also, I am volunteering at the shelter to have more experience working with puppies. I'm available for boarding on weekends. I am also mostly available after 6 pm for drop-by. If you prefer leaving your baby to stay with me during the weekdays, I can do morning/lunch/dinner check-in/jogging most definitely. Plenty of safe walking spaces around my place. Your pup will have plenty of walks with me-whether it is free-running inside the enclosed area privately, with other puppies, or just a chill walk, all up to your pup’s preference! For my kitty clients, I will make sure apartment is hide-safe with plenty of higher grounds to go have fun at.

“We had an excellent experience with Sam, who we found to be caring, responsible, and responsive.”

About: I’ve cared for dogs with a range of personalities and energy levels, from playful puppies who need lots of exercise to older dogs who prefer slower walks and plenty of attention. I make sure each pet’s feeding, walking, and play routine is followed closely and keep owners updated with photos throughout their pet’s care. Punctual, gentle, patient, and dependable.

I’m currently in grad school and have a flexible schedule to provide care for your pet, whether it’s a drop in visit or a walk. I focus on creating a safe, comfortable, and stress free environment. I follow each pet’s routine and the owner’s instructions closely, including feeding schedules, walks, medications, and any other specific needs. I’m attentive to their behavior and surroundings and make sure doors, gates and other areas are secure to prevent accidents or escapes. I treat every client’s home with the same care and respect I would want for my own, and I’m happy to provide regular updates and photos so you can feel confident that your pet is safe and happy while you’re away.

About: Hi, I’m a lifelong dog lover with 8 years of professional experience caring for dogs! From dog sitting and walks to providing attentive, everyday care, I always treat every dog as if they were my own.

I take the time to understand each dog’s personality, routine, and individual needs so they can feel happy and cared for while you’re away. Building trust is very important to me—not only with the pets I care for, but with their owners as well.

I care for every pet with the same patience, attention, and love I would give my own. I always take the time to learn each pet’s routine, personality, preferences, and specific needs so they feel comfortable and safe. In a client’s home, I’m respectful of their space and follow all care instructions closely, including feeding schedules, walks, medications if needed, playtime, and any other routines the pet is used to. I also make sure pets receive plenty of attention, affection, exercise, and companionship. My goal is to keep your pet’s routine as consistent and stress-free as possible while you’re away, and to give you peace of mind knowing they’re in caring and trustworthy hands.

About: I grew up caring for both big and small dogs (and horses!), so I love dogs of all ages and sizes! I promise to treat your furry family like my own while helping to maintain your pet's daily routine, including walks, meals, play (in the home and/or at dog parks), baths, cuddles, and whatever else your pet loves. I currently work as a research assistant at Columbia University/ New York-Presbyterian, so I spend most of my day talking with people. Here, I continue to learn the value and importance of connecting with others. As your pet's sitter or walker, I prioritize communication and comfortability with you to ensure that you feel excited about your pets care. I know I am! I currently work as a research assistant at Columbia University/ New York-Presbyterian. I spend my mornings at the hospital from about 10am-2pm. On any day, I am available either early in the morning or afterwards for walks or play time with your pups. On weekends, I am available for boarding. Every third week, I work from home and would love to board and/or care for your furry family for the week. It's priority to me to maintain the routine your pup knows and loves. I hope to get to know you and your pet so I can incorporate your pet's favorite walking routes, parks, toys, food, and general activity into the care I provide. On a side note, I am a distance runner! If you would like your pet to get some extra energy out, I would love to run with them.
