Cat Sitting Wading River

“Elaine has completed 3 drop-in visits for our senior dog. We’re very pleased with her reliability and compassionate care of our dog. When my husband and I are both working, having someone take care of her midday is reassuring. Getting updates and pictures is also nice. We would definitely recommend her.”

About: With a lifetime of experience living with dogs, I am confident around them. I own two medium large dogs that love their lifestyle. "Wow, he/she doesn't usually like men!" is something I've heard a lot from people when I meet their dog. It takes patience to learn a dog's communication style, but when they feel understood they do everything they can to express themselves. When they feel comfortable with my ability to successfully communicate they trust me. I've dog sat for friends, but this time in my life I can do more. I'm mostly finished with professional career life. I'm writing the great American novel instead now. I walk my dogs twice a day and go on hikes on weekends where they're allowed. Dogs are the secret to a peaceful mind. Respectful of space and privacy, I'm here for your dogs because I have dogs. I'd want someone who cares about dogs to care for mine when I'm not there.

About: I am an experienced, caring, mature dog walker who has been a life-long dog, animal, and nature lover. I am a professional ecologist and life coach who works mainly from home, allowing me to be available for dog walking. I have a lifetime of experience with dogs. As a child, my family used to breed labrador retrievers; now we have corgis. Love them! If you want someone dependable and smart who will love your dog while you're away or at work, I'm your person. My family has lived in the area for many years. I am available weekdays and most weekends as needed. Your dog will be in good hands. I'll feed your cats too. Looking forward to meeting you and your pets! Thank you for your consideration. I am a semi-retired ecologist and conservationist who manages a non-profit organization from home, so I am usually nearby and readily available. I was raised in a family that bred Labrador Retrievers and have always lived with dogs and cats (and lost of other critters). I currently have three corgis - two Pembroke Welsh and one American (Pembroke and Cardigan). I have a fenced yard and can care for gentle, corgi and child friendly pups. Most of my work is at client's homes. I'll make sure gates are closed and yards are safe and fresh water is available. I pay attention to weather conditions, accommodating for rain, hot, or cold weather. I pay attention to my surroundings on walks and in the yard to keep your pup safe.

About: I have my own home with a fenced in backyard, I love hiking and running the trails. I have 5 fur-nephews and nieces and haven’t met a dog that I haven’t befriended. I work a steady full time job at a bakery in the Holbrook costco so I am always home before dinner and I always smell delicious. I have a fully fenced in backyard with a back door access, I have also had my friends and family dogs in my household for extended periods with great success.

“Great Job ! Lucky for our puppy Stella….”

“I’m so grateful to Stephanie for helping us out on such short notice and am very happy with the level of service I received. I felt like I was in very good hands. I will definitely be calling her again! Thank you!”

About: I am a public school teacher so I am available Monday-Friday after 3pm and weekends/holidays. I have loved animals since I was a small child and have owned dogs and cats ever since. I have experience taking care of older animals and giving medications and special dietary restrictions. Pets are our family and I will treat all animals with the love and care they deserve since they give us humans more than we could ever hope for. I will send you pictures/videos if you are missing your pets and keep in close contact via text with updates as well. I have always wanted to help animals and I thought this is a good way to start! All of my fur babies are rescue animals and if we could we would adopt them all! I look forward to lending a paw to you and your fur babies! I am a school teacher so I am mainly available weekdays after 3:00pm and all day most weekends. I am also available during school breaks/vacations such as December break, February break and very available in the summer months July and August. We have a fenced in yard on an acre of property and a dog who loves to play with other dogs. We have plenty of outside toys for enrichment too! My husband and I both work full time jobs and are currently available for drop-ins and dog walking services. I am a teacher and am available most days after 3:00pm Monday-Friday and am more available on the weekends. Once we buy a house we are hoping to upgrade our services to be boarding services in our home. Once we buy a house, we are hoping to offer boarding services where we can host your pets in our home. We have one dog and two cats currently. We would keep the dogs and cats separated from each other and make sure to have a meet and greet with the dogs so that we know they will play well and get along well beforehand. I am a public school teacher. My availability is Monday-Friday after 3pm and weekends/holidays. Send me a message and I’ll see what I can do! I believe play time is important for pets. I’d love to throw a tennis ball for your dog or twirl a mouse on a stick for your cats in addition to the usual feeding them, letting them out to use the bathroom.

About: I’ve been around dogs for basically my whole life and I’ve always loved animals. I’ve been taking care of my own pets- walking, feeding, bathing, training, etc- for as long as I can remember. More recently I’ve taken care of friends pets while their owners are away- including dogs, cats, and a bunny. In these instances I was responsible for checking in on the pets a few times a day to feed them, let them outside, refill water, and give them lots of love and attention. I have also volunteered to dog walk at a few local shelters. I’m currently home from college for the summer and I have a lot of free time. I have a few short trips that are blocked out on my calendar and should be available otherwise. When walking dogs I try to always be aware of my surroundings and be on the lookout for cars, other dogs, or wild animals. My own dog can be a bit sneaky and is a big chewer so I know how important it is to be vigilant when watching dogs. I’ve also had a reactive dog in the past so I’m confident in my abilities to distract and remove a dog from a hostile situation. I’m always interested in learning more about proper pet care and have spent time researching pet safe foods and activities for my own pets. My goal is always to give a pet the best care possible.

“Adrianna took such good care of my 2 babies and sent me constant updates which made my vacation that much more peaceful 🤍”

“Jen and Cameron were wonderful with Annie and the bunnies. They took the time to come meet and get acquainted twice so that Annie was comfortable with them. They followed our instructions and kept in touch several times a day. They treated our girls like their own pets. Thank you Jen and Cameron for everything.”

About: I've always been such a huge animal lover and always took care of my own cats, dogs, guinea pigs and birds. I used to watch my family members pets when they would go away and feed them per special instructions and stayed with them as long as I could so they were never lonely. I work full time now but I make my own schedule! I'll be able to be reliable and work around the needs of anyone's babies! In my clients home I always have respect and take care of not only the pets but the home and property when I'm there always.

About: I have grown up with 4 dogs maximum in my house. I am super comfortable around any dog. Sweet, kind, aggressive, scared, anxious and whatever else you have to throw at me! I love dogs of all age! Puppies and old fur babies will be loved the same! Let’s connect! I am fairly open and will constantly communicate. I work at a dentist office and I clean pools in the summer! I’m also doing my masters online. I keep the house in the condition it was left to me, I’m able to take out the trash, water flowers and bring in mail. I will fully be in communication with the owners. The animals will always have their breakfast, dinner and treats! If medicine is needed, I will try my best to give that to them. Walks and playing in the backyard is a must! I am more than happy to share the bed with them as well. The most important factor is the endless cuddles!

About: I have hands-on experience working with animals through both therapy dog work and my previous experience as an assistant to a veterinary technician. This has given me a strong understanding of animal behavior, health, and how to handle pets with care, patience, and confidence. I’m comfortable supporting pets with different needs and always focus on making them feel safe, calm, and well cared for. Working from home allows me to be a consistent, calming presence for your pet throughout the day whether at my home or yours. I truly enjoy spending that time with them—whether it’s going on walks, giving them attention, or just being nearby so they don’t feel alone. I know every pet is different, so I follow their lead and make sure they feel comfortable and secure, whether they’re full of energy or prefer a more relaxed, quiet routine. I keep your pet’s routine consistent while providing attentive care, companionship, and a calm presence. Whether it’s walks, playtime, or quiet time, I adapt to their needs and make sure they feel safe and comfortable while you’re away. I am also a photographer which could lead to getting some great photos while you are away!

“I cannot express how grateful and delighted I am to have found Ioanna as my dog walker! From day one, she has gone above and beyond in taking care of my beloved fur baby. And a quiet recently added fur baby. Every time Waffles and Rain goes out with Ioanna, they come back happy and content, clearly having had a wonderful time on their adventures. What truly sets her apart is the genuine love and affection displayed towards my pups and the attention to detail in her service. During days of care, Ioanna ensured that Waffles and Rain always had plenty of water and a comfortable, place to rest. On rainy days, we could always count on high spirits and excellent care, never once cancelling due to weather. Moreover, her flexibility and reliability are commendable, accommodating any last-minute schedule changes with a smile. In addition to providing outstanding walks, Ioanna goes the extra mile, sending updates and adorable pictures from the walk and fun times during visits, which always brighten my day. It's comforting to know my pups are in such capable and caring hands. I wholeheartedly recommend Ioanna to anyone in need of a trustworthy and exceptional dog walker. Thanks to her, not only are Waffles and Rain healthier and happier, but we have found peace of mind knowing they’re in such wonderful care. Thank you, Ioanna, for being such a fantastic and compassionate friend to my beloved pups. I’m so lucky to have you!”

“Used this app for the first time ever this last week. I used Emily and found her to be professional and punctual to all prearranged visits. My dog was well taken care of and I appreciated the updates and the ease of the app. I highly recommend Emily for your drop in pet needs”

“Kyle was an excellent choice, to care for our energetic puppy who needed more supervision. He was communicative with us, while away and also interactive with our pup, keeping him busy and safe. I will definitely rebook with Kyle, when needed next.”

About: Hi! I’ve been caring for dogs and cats since I was 12 years old, starting back in 2011 with dog walking and in-home sitting for cats and dogs. Over the years, I’ve gained experience with puppies, kitties, senior dogs/cats and managing multiple animals at once - so I’m comfortable with all animals/breeds, ages, sizes, and personalities. I’m a proud dog owner myself, with an American Staffordshire Terrier and a Golden Retriever/Lab mix, and I also grew up in a home with cats - so I’m well-rounded when it comes to pet care. Animals have always been a huge part of my life, and I truly believe they deserve patience, love, and the best care possible. I’m known for being punctual, reliable, and trustworthy, and I treat every pet as if they were my own. Whether your dog needs a quick walk, extra playtime, or your fur baby needs attentive in-home care, you can count on me to show up and provide a safe, happy experience every time. I work from home and am my own boss, which allows me to keep a very flexible and reliable schedule. I’m also a host of a sports podcast, and since I create and manage my own calendar, I’m able to easily accommodate pet care needs throughout the day. Every morning, I start my day with a two-mile walk with my own pup, so caring for dogs is already a built-in part of my daily routine. Because I’m in full control of my time, I’m dependable, punctual, and able to give consistent attention to every pet I care for. I provide attentive, personalized care in both my clients’ homes and through scheduled walks and visits, depending on the service needed. When caring for pets in a client’s home, I do my best to keep their routine as normal and stress-free as possible - following feeding instructions, maintaining walk or play schedules, refreshing water, and giving plenty of love, attention, and companionship while they’re away. I also make sure their space stays clean and comfortable, and I always prioritize safety and respect for the home. For walks and drop-in visits, I focus on exercise, enrichment, and engagement tailored to each pet’s personality and energy level. Whether it’s a long walk, playtime, or quiet companionship for more shy or senior pets, I adjust my care to meet their needs. I treat every pet like my own and make sure they feel safe, happy, and cared for at all times.

“Julie took great care of our cat while we were out of town for Christmas. She was great about keeping us up to date on how things were going. She was also very flexible with scheduling, responded quickly to my messages, and was always very friendly in her communication with me. Highly recommend and we will definitely be using her again.”

Megan R.

“Chelsea was great to work with! She was super accommodating and incredibly flexible as I made a few changes throughout. I will definitively hire Chelsea again.”
