Dog Walking in Tottensville, Staten Island, NY

About: I have two dogs and one cat of my own so I’m used to caring for pets every day. I handle feeding, walks, playtime and basic routines. I always make sure they feel safe and comfortable. I’m currently available on weekends only, I plan my schedule around pet care during that time. I make sure I have plenty of time for feeding, walks, playtime and giving pets the attention they need. I make sure pets feel safe and comfortable in my home or theirs. I keep the environment clean, quiet and pet friendly. I always supervise them during playtime and walks

“Our dog Sunshine gets so excited to see Jennifer when she walks her for us! We've been using Jenn's services for years now and can't say enough good things about her. She's is very gentle and patent with our stubborn senior girl who thinks the world exists to pamper her! Mahalo Jennifer for being a part of our ohana.”

About: Hello, Thank you for stopping by! My name is Jennifer. I currently have 3 kitties of my own. I do know how nerve-racking it could be leaving your pet with someone. I have left prior sitters visuals, maps, drawings when I have gone away (thank you OCD lol). I am probably a bit much but I need to know that while I'm away, my fur children are in nurturing loving hands not missing me. To say I am protective is an understatement. *I just came back to the site after having a few extensive surgeries so please do not go by the early reviews as I was only on here for a few months until I had to have surgeries - I’m doing great now :)* ***Please before you go on reading…yes, I understand my fees are higher than most. Upon meeting me, you will understand why. I will offer knowledge that may help you with your furbaby.If you are having a hard time with behavioral issues where other sitters won’t know what to do, I most likely will. The plethora of knowledge about dogs/cats/horse/fish/etc that is infinite. I may be able to offer you a couple tips that are possibly life changing. No, I do not have all the answers (if anyone says they do…you should most likely run). However, my knowledge regarding animals is far superior than the average pet sitter. I am 43 years old. I have chosen to take on this work because my heart is very into it. However, now that I am mostly home working on a project it makes it easier for me to sit for your pet. Unfortunately, boarding a doggo overnight within my home who has a lot of behavioral issues would not be a good fit for my cats nor is it fair to do this to them. If it is a mini breed or a larger vet well trained dog, we can discuss (please reach out as it can’t hurt to ask). I wouldn’t mind staying at your home on a case by case basis. If you needed me to give your pets a lot of love, adoration, full blown attention-enforce your commands that you’d like for me to withhold, have a couple of cognitive/ physical training sessions to help you with some behavioral issues/keep your pup sharp or even if it’s administering medications, etc…all your pets needs will be meet efficiently. If this is what you seek, I may be your gal. I welcome cameras in the home so that you are able to see how well your beloved companion is doing with me. I wish more people had cameras so that everyone gets to see how their pet is truly doing while you’re away! My experience with animals comes from years over time of being involved with rescue, surrounded by trainers, healers, tons and tons of self knowledge, audio books, old fashioned books, etc. I was born to hear animals and I consider it a huge gift. It is in my nature that when I am with your pet that my FULL attention is with your pet and your pet only. I myself have hired pet sitters who would sit on their phone in front of me while pet sitting and it was pretty irritating. I know the type of person I would want (and not want) watching my animals because I have been there before with kittens/cat/puppies/dogs. Another pet peeve of mine would be walking into a dog park and the owners aren't paying close attention to their dogs. Unfortunately, we live in an age where cell phones have become top priority and then the pup is put into a bad situation because of the lack of attention. I have seen it time after time and it has left me with a bad taste. This will never happen with me. If I don’t like the vibes - I don’t enter in. There is a proper way to introduce dogs and it’s not nose to nose but rather behind to behind. Dogs are not humans (well some are lol) they are dogs. They read the room very differently than how we would. I promise you wholeheartedly that this is something you will never have to worry about. You pet has my UNDIVIDED love and attention at all times on my watch. It is pertinent for your pet that I uphold and take full responsibility as your pet sitter to give them full attention the entire time they are with me. All of my pups learned their basic commands very early on. It means everything to me when a dog is speaking the same language as its owner. I wish to take your lead and follow everything precisely. When putting a dog on a "heel" command during a walk, my attention has to be two places: 1- On the pup and 2- Observant of the environment. I have fostered 2 dogs and have trained 3 dogs. I have broken the prey drive of 2 beautiful pit bulls and one Tree Walking Coonhound/Terrier dog with my cats. I have also broken anxiety of one of the dogs I was fostering. Truly it was a lot of work, time, patience, repetition and more patience but I got to learn so much about speaking dog. They teach you so many things. I had a very hard time finding someone to board my pup when I had him because I knew a bit more than they did which left me on edge. I sifted through a lot of sitters and it wasn't until I had someone teaching me something that I felt 100% confident in leaving my fur baby with them. I have worked along side with trainers and have read heaps fulls of dog language books/manuals/dvd's etc. I have been called the dog whisperer, cat whisperer/animal whisperer. I have also attended workshops for animal communication to further my education with animals. I look forward to building a career from this. I have obtained one Bachelors degree and a second Associates degree as well as obtaining my NYS license for massage therapy (for humans lol). I am very passionate about animals and have been called a healer. I am Reiki 2 Certified and do Reiki for animals. My entire heart is into this because animals don't have a voice. When I tell someone I can speak cat or dog they may look at me like I am from the funny farm but it’s true. There is a way of listening to an animal by its body language, sounds, breathing, even yawning etc. I have been clipping nails since high school of anxious pet owners pets nails, wiped out floppy ears, burrito wrapped cats for clippings, I’m able to administer medicine without a problem (there are tricks for this), brushing, you name it and I've probably done it. Anyway I can help, I am always willing if it’s for the cause of an animal. Snuggles are my favorite thing along with interactive puzzle type of games that your pups will crave if they would be so kind to join me. No job is too big for me to handle : ) Please let me know if you would like the garbage taken out, plants watered, etc. I am able to light housework if necessary. I will send a TON of pics upon your request because I know how on edge, especially first time sits could be for an owner. NOTE***Please let me know if your dog gets along with cats as this is the only way I can accept them for the safety of my own fur children as well as for the safety of your own pup*** Any information provided for your pet, I will adhere to. I always take 30 min to an hour a day for play/brush when it comes to my own. Please let me know your instructions- dog/cats likes and dislikes, allergies etc. I prefer crated pets because with this, it comes security and a lot less anxiety for your pet when used correctly and for positive reinforcement only. I like to think of it as a floating bedroom for them :) Looking forward to meeting you and your fur-baby/fur-babies soon! *Please note, yes…my fees are more than average because I am at a very advanced level when it comes to caring for you furbaby/furbabies. I would be willing to make and exception if the opportunity (especially be it someone local/within my mileage) presented itself! Thank you for carefully reading my profile. I look forward to a meet and greet with you and your fuzzy friend/s. I am currently working from home so I am pretty flexible where as time is concerned. Occasionally I will run to the store and back but it also depends on the dog so if I had to prepare myself a few days before your dogs arrival, I have no problem with this at all. I am flexible where this is concerned :) Let’s talk…maybe there is something I have missed in my profile but I try to be as descriptive as possible. I appreciate you taking the time to read everything I have written. Quite the novel, I am aware but I feel as a fellow pet owner myself, that you would want to know everything about who your pet is spending quality time with so I try to be as thorough as possible 🙂 Please see everything I have written on top as I believe I have covered all my bases where this is concerned. Thank you again for taking the time reading my full profile! Any questions I’d be happy to answer them, just please shoot me a message :)

About: I’ve taken care of dogs since I was 10. I love all types of dogs - especially high energy pups that have nothing but love to give you. Dogs bring nothing but joy to our lives and I always want to provide them with the same energy. *my dog is trained with an e-collar and I am comfortable with walking dogs who use one. I work from home so I have a lot of flexibility to meet your pet care needs! I’m happy to pop over multiple times in a day to walk or feed your dog. Being a dog owner of a boy who will try to get into anything he can, I value ensuring the highest level of safety is followed! I will always ensure doors are fully closed/locked, a leash is on securely, your pup is safely in their crate if needed, and all the other little things pet parents stress about!

About: I have a cat for 4 years who I spend much of my time with. I’ve walked other dogs in the past, and have always had a so much love for animals in general. I promise to love your pet as my own when they are in my care. I have a hybrid work schedule, and my availability is pretty open, especially for the summer as I have additional flexibility in my availability. My calendar is up to date! My cat is an indoor cat, and we spend a lot of time together, playing, napping, and on occasion I take my cat on supervised walks outside, which he thoroughly enjoys.

About: Hi! I’m an experienced dog sitter and devoted pet parent with years of experience caring for my own dogs and providing trusted pet-sitting. I’ve cared for my Morkie (Maltese-Yorkshire mix) for 11 years, so I’m very familiar with the needs of small dogs. I also have hands-on experience caring for our Golden Retriever for 7 years, giving me experience with both small and large breeds. Our Golden is epileptic but has been seizure-free for over 2 years, giving us firsthand experience with administering medication, monitoring health, and following strict routines - experience that also helps us care for dogs with medical needs or seniors. As a young, active couple, we love taking energetic dogs on walks and adventures, while also providing calm, personalized care for those who need quiet time or extra cuddles. Every dog has a unique personality, and I tailor my care to their needs, routines, and comfort. As a pet parent myself, I understand how important it is to feel confident leaving your dog with someone else. That’s why I provide the same attentive, loving care I expect when leaving my own pets, so you can feel completely at ease. My unique advantage lies in my flexible schedule which allows me to dedicate ample time and undivided attention to your cherished pets. Whether it's quality cuddles, playtime adventures, or leisurely strolls, I'm committed to providing top-notch care tailored to your pet's unique needs. In my home, your furry friends will find a spacious and welcoming environment where pets are free to roam around, an outdoor terrace with secured fencing, and local parks (including a dog park) for exercise. I strive to provide a loving and comfortable atmosphere that makes them feel like part of the family.

“Tammy is truly amazing!!!! With a reactive dog trying to have a meet and greet or find a walker can be exhausting for us humans and them. Tammy followed my instructions and her instincts making the experiences the best they could possibly be. Ivy and I are so lucky to have found her!!”

About: I’ve had pet care experience my whole life. When ever anyone in my family needed a pet sitter I was there, from dogs cats and lizards I do it all. If you leave your pet with me I promise you they will get the best care they need. I’m currently working part time so I am free some days of the week but I’m always free on weekends. So just message me and we can figure something out I have a big backyard that’s fenced in so your pet will have a lot of time to run around and have fun when we’re not on walks and I have no other pets in my house at the moment so when it gets too hot we can go inside.

About: I have taken care of dogs and cats my whole life. Growing up I had 2 dogs and 5 cats including some exotic animals. I love animals and I will be courteous and loving for your extra family member. I work almost full time but I have availability every weekday until 3 and Monday and Wednesday anytime of day would work. Weekends can fill up for me pretty quickly with school and my job but never hurts to ask. I would be cautious and courteous of your home. I will respect any of the rules you may have and take amazing care of your fur babies.

About: I’ve had dogs of my own since I was 5 years old. I currently have two puppies named Bodhi and Utah and have a long history of dog walking/sitting! Some of those dogs are posted on my profile :)) I am currently working full time in insurance. Pet care will be able to fit on my days off, the weekend, and after work! I will always be open to fit in time for pets. I have a fenced yard and security alarms in my house to keep everyone safe. Also, taking care of children has made me very aware and on my toes in different situations.

About: I’ve supported pet owners by providing reliable care that focuses on routine, safety, and comfort. I’ve worked with pets of varying energy levels and personalities and understand how consistency, patience, and clear communication help animals feel at ease while away from their owners. My availability allows me to dedicate consistent time throughout the week for walks, drop-ins, and extended care. I plan my day carefully to ensure pets receive dependable attention without feeling rushed or overstimulated. I prioritize clear routines, secure spaces, and careful supervision. I follow instructions exactly as provided, keep environments clean, and remain observant of behavior changes so pets stay safe, comfortable, and well cared for at all times.
