About: Hi! I’m a huge animal lover. I grew up around animals and have always enjoyed caring for them. I’m patient, responsible, and love spending time with pets. Whether it’s going for walks, playing, or just keeping them company. I don’t currently have any dogs or cats at home, which makes my space perfect for boarding! I’m passionate about providing consistent, loving care for every pet I meet. For dog walking I am available at any time Monday through Thursday. Friday through Saturday 5am till 5:30pm, Sunday mornings 5am till to 3:30pm. For boarding im available all days. I have a flexible schedule! At my clients/my home I will provide photos, and videos of your pet and provide updates to insure you have a safe, and trusted experience!
“We LOVE Brittany!!! She is absolutely fantastic! Finn adores her, and she always goes above and beyond to make sure he has a great time on his walks. She's super punctual, keeps me updated with cute pictures and videos, and is always quick to respond to any messages. I couldn't ask for a better person to take care of my furry baby. Thank you for all that you do!”

“Jacquelyne was wonderful to work with. She is very sweet, always arrived on time, and give extra time during walks, which I really appreciated. Everything was smooth and easy from start to finish, and I felt my dog was in great hands. Highly recommend!”

“Rachel followed instructions very well and was so patient with Chimmy and Chammy. I am so grateful for her care and attention for my furbabies! Highly recommend her!”

About: Former dog owner and shelter volunteer with over 15 years of experience. I’m a go-to sitter for friends and I’m an active runner on the Rockaway boardwalk. I'm very comfortable and capable with all temperaments and energy levels. I have a hybrid work schedule, where I work from home 3 days during the week, and would be able to take breaks for walks. Weekends I am free. I live in a 4th floor walk up that allows pets. Other tenants have dogs. I live less than 1 block away from the boardwalk and beach for walks.
“Ariella calmed my anxiety whether she knows it or not! Took care of my nearly 7 month old pup, Alf with confidence and care. Very much look forward for Ariella and Alf to hang out again!”


About: Hi there, pet parents! I’ve spent over 10 years caring for animals and 6 years working as a veterinary technician, and caring for pets feels second nature to me. I’m currently focusing full-time on growing my local pet care services because caring for animals and fostering relationships with them and pet owners is more than a job to me. I have experience with dogs, cats, and exotic pets, and I’m comfortable with everything from administering medication and special care needs to baths, nail trims, and helping nervous pets feel safe and loved. My goal is to give every pet nuture and fun, so they feel happy and comfortable while you’re away! ♡ 🐾 I currently am working full-time providing personalized care for dogs & cats in the local area, so helping you with your vacation or schedule while away at work for your pets will be #1 priority! All of the pets I take care of are under my supervision 24/7. I live in a gated apartment next to the beach and have plenty of experience making pets feel comfortable in or out of the home.

“Alex was great with my male Bernese Mountain Dog weighing 130 pounds. He handled my dog confidently and calmly, which is especially important given his size. We live in a densely populated area, and Alex did an excellent job managing walks safely and responsibly around people and distractions. I felt very comfortable trusting him with my dog and would absolutely recommend him to anyone with a large breed.”

“Ketevan was absolutely amazing! She took great care of my pup, was very understanding of my preferences and really went above and beyond with her service. She also sent updates and responded to my messages promptly. I truly appreciate a sitter like her while I am away from my baby. Would definitely pick her again.”

“Steven and Jennifer had great communication they were responsive and attentive to any questions or advice I may have given them. They were efficient and timely. I would absolutely trust them with my Simba again”

About: When I was a kid I dreamed of getting a dog, but my brother's allergies meant that was out of the question. My solution to this was volunteering to walk my friends' dogs or offering to pet sit whenever I could. I put up flyers in my busy apartment building and started getting some steady clients, which quickly became one of my favorite after school activities. I’ve also had the incredible opportunity to work on a sanctuary that specialized in caring for animals with behavioral and special needs where I was really able to expand on my skills and put them to the test. My love for all animals drives me to provide the best care for every pet I meet. Caring for your beloved pets brings me joy and I would love to have the opportunity to help. My work schedule varies, but I'm typically available after 8am. I'll follow whatever routines you usually do at home to help make your fur babies feel at ease. However you typically care for them is how I'll try my best to go about it.
About: My main goal is always making a pet feel loved, reassuring you that they are being cared after without your presence. I will always tend to their needs and provide any assistance that is needed for your loved one. Your pet is my top priority, I can ensure you I’ll give them the most amazing time of their lovely lives! Though I am fairly new to professionally pet sitting, I can guarantee that I am a passionate animal lover and fully devoted to pleasing both you and your pet! If your pet has special needs that need to be taken care of, please kindly provide instructions on how to proceed in order to make sure your pet is dealt with safely and properly I am free almost any time everyday since I have completed my college semester and begun my summer, so I am available for any pet at any time! They never leave my sight, and I love to get animals comfortable enough with me to the point where they don’t feel like wanting to wander off without me. I shower all animals with love, and my love has always been reciprocated by our furry friends

My dog liked Ariella right away, which honestly says everything. She has some joint problems, so walks can be a bit tricky, but Ariella found a gentle, thoughtful approach that worked perfectly for her. I really appreciated how patient and attentive she was , it was clear she took the time to understand my dog’s needs and made sure she was comfortable every step of the way. I felt completely at ease knowing my dog was in such caring hands. Highly recommend Ariella to anyone looking for someone kind, reliable, and truly great with dogs!
