About: I have been caring for pets of various kinds for over 20 years. I have a spacious yard and house with room to play and snuggle and a child and 2 dogs who would love to give your pet attention. I’m currently on maternity leave for the next few months and home on the weekends so I am available and around to play all day and night. I have a fenced yard and 2 dogs of my own. A great neighbor with sidewalks for walking. I have an open concept spacious house but also have a separated finished basement space to use if needed/wanted.
“We have used Carlos and his wife Jessica 4 separate occasions this past year and they have been great . My dog loves going there and I have peace of mind knowing she is well taken care of during her stay !”
“Freedom was a huge help when we had to book at the last minute due to a family emergency. They were very nice to Cleo and accommodated her food needs and energy level. They also made a very cute portrait of Cleo and gifted her a bandana, which she is still wearing and loving. I highly recommend Freedom to others looking for a sitter.”
“Barley had the absolute best time at camp! Pamela was wonderful, sent fantastic updates and I was assured my pup was safe and happy the whole time. I hate having to leave my dog behind, but I had no worries at all while she stayed at camp, Barley settled in so well, I think she had more fun on her vacation than we did! I am so glad we found Pamela!”
“Amazing dog sitter. Robin had a wonderful time with Shannen. Had great communication throughout the entire shift and made Robin feel like he was at home. Robin is looking forward to his next visit with Shannen.!”
About: I absolutely adore all types of animals and have always been happiest when I’m around them. I have 17+ years of hands-on experience with both dogs and cats of all ages, sizes, and temperaments. As a pet owner myself, I understand daily routines, behavior, and how to create a calm, structured environment where pets feel safe and comfortable. I take a patient and attentive approach, focusing on consistency, supervision, and positive interactions. I’m comfortable managing different energy levels, feeding schedules, and maintaining a clean, organized space. My goal is to provide dependable, stress-free care so your pet feels secure and well cared for while you’re away. I work from home, so pet care fits naturally into my daily routine. I’m able to provide consistent supervision throughout the day, including regular potty breaks, feeding, playtime, and rest. Dogs are not left alone for long periods, and I maintain a structured routine to keep them comfortable and settled. I provide a clean, safe, and calm home environment where pets are closely supervised at all times. I keep a limited number of dogs to ensure each one gets individual attention and to maintain a low-stress setting. I pay close attention to behavior, body language, and interactions to ensure all pets are comfortable and safe. I can separate dogs if needed and will always follow your pet’s routine, feeding instructions, and any specific care needs.
“I would highly recommend Yaina to anyone for dog boarding. She was excellent with communication and sent many pictures while my dog was with her. She made the process very easy and took great care of my dog.”
“Teddy seemed to really enjoy his stay with Alissa. He looked happy in the pictures that she sent us and he came back home not mad at us for leaving him. Thank you so much for taking such good care of teddy!”

“Gerald watched our dog in his home for 10 days, and we couldn't have been happier with the experience. Our dog can get anxious when he's away from home, but he was calm, comfortable, and clearly well cared for throughout his stay. Gerald took him on walks in the nearby park and provided excellent care. He was also a fantastic communicator, sending regular updates, photos, and videos that gave us peace of mind and made us feel connected while we were away. I would absolutely recommend Gerald to anyone looking for a reliable and caring dog sitter. We'll definitely be booking with him again in the future!”
“My Zuri recently spent some time with Sandy. She sent me pictures and videos of her playing and enjoying her stay. Sandy is awesome! She took great care of my puppy.”
“Iris w/her husband took care of my two pups Mia & Milo the last 5 days. They took such great care of them. Milo still a puppy at 13 months & Mia a 10.5. They handled them both with such care. With special instructions for Mia’s medicine to my hyper playful puppy seeking attention often. Iris sent pictures & videos showing me how happy & content they were! They’ll be back with Iris in just a few short days again! I’m so happy that I feel 💯 at ease knowing they’re in great hands!! Highly recommend Iris taking care of your fur babies too.”
“Our cat Journey had a delightful time at Joanne’s for a long weekend. We were impressed with the clear communication, lovely home environment, and delightful family that took such great care of him. We highly recommend Joanne and will not hesitate to use her again when were visiting family in the area.”
“Great experience as usual! Everything went as planned, ready for drop off, sent the perfect amount of pictures daily and had her ready for pick up on time! Angel was super excited to see me and happy as can be when I picked her up, loves to play w her other dogs and even the cats. I will definitely contibue to utilize her service's, Thanks,”
“Lisamarie was amazing w/ our pup Ryder! I was so nervous to leave him for the 1st time but felt confident doing so as soon as I met her. I will definitely be using Lisa’s services again bc Ryder had a blast! Thank you Lisa…for taking such good care of him & for all the great pics 🧡”
“We had such a wonderful experience! Dior felt right at home from the moment she arrived and was so well cared for during her stay. We loved getting updates and could tell she was receiving lots of attention, love, and even some extra treats. Especially because Dior was in heat we were so happy she was comfortable. The thoughtful gift keychain was such a sweet surprise and really showed how much they care about both pets and their owners. We came home to a happy pup and couldn't ask for more. We will definitely be returning and would highly recommend them to anyone looking for someone trustworthy, caring, and attentive to watch their dog!”
“Cody took such good care of our baby. He updated us daily with photos. My baby loved staying with him and in fact got more spoiled then he does at home. When ever we have to leave him for now on Cody will always be our choice.”
“Karishma was amazing! We left our brand new puppy with her for 3 nights. She texted and sent videos and pictures constantly and made us feel super comfortable. She and her family adored our pup and treated him like their own. We will definitely be using Karishma again!”

We had such a wonderful experience with Brenda watching Beaux! She was incredibly communicative and sent daily updates and videos/photos that gave us so much peace of mind while we were away. You can truly tell how knowledgeable and experienced she is with dogs, and most importantly, how much genuine love and attention she gives them. Beaux was so happy, comfortable, and well cared for the entire time. She even kindly kept him an additional night for us because our travel plan changed and we appreciated that so much. We would absolutely trust her with Beaux again and highly recommend her to anyone looking for a caring, reliable and flexible sitter!
Natalia went above and beyond, and I could not ask for a more caring and generous home to place my dog in while I was away. She sent near-daily updates with photos and videos and embraced every one of my loud but sweet corgi's quirks with care. Natalia, her dog and her household took care of my dog Athena and loved her truly as if she were their own. I think Athena might have even had a better vacation than me with all the snuggles, toys and fun she had! I cannot recommend or thank Natalia enough for the experiences and care she gave my dog.
Jamie is absolutely amazing!! She was an excellent care taker for our dog.. making sure to keep his meds on schedule... getting him to eat on a schedule when he normally doesnt (he's a grazer!) and allowing him priority position with her on the couch during the few moments of rest they both had. I got a regular stream of photos and check ins about my dog and never had a doubt he was in great hands. The only doubt I had was whether my dog was going to want to come home. She is so great with dogs and I know for sure we will be using her again in the future. Thank you for everything Jamie!!
We are thrilled with our experience with John! This was our first time using this site, and he was amazing with our Benny. He kept us updated with pictures and videos, which made us feel at ease. Having his dog Dallas around was a definitely bonus. Thank you, John! We would love to work with you again and highly recommend you!
Trinity is amazing! I had never left my 6 month old puppy before and was very anxious about it, but Trinity gave me the utmost peace of mind which allowed me to enjoy my vacation. Trinity was extremely communicative, sharing photos and updates daily. Percy was incredibly well taken care of. Puppies are not easy at all but Percy was treated with so much patience and care l. Trinity demonstrated a tremendous amount of professionalism and expertise in his care and I could not recommend her enough!
My fur baby was well taken care of. I cant thank Daniel enough for the awesome service that has been provided. It was top notch! Very professional and kept me updated every day about my fur baby. I felt comfortable and will definitely use his services again. Thank you 😊
Jillian was absolutely wonderful with our 7-month-old puppy! This was his first time being watched by someone outside our family, and she made the experience so easy and reassuring. She kept him active, happy, and well cared for, and communicated with us daily with pictures and videos, which we really appreciated. It was clear our pup was in great hands. We will definitely be asking Jillian to watch him again in the future and highly recommend her to anyone looking for a caring, reliable dogsitter!
We left our pup with Debra for his first boarding experience, and I could not be more relieved. I was super anxious, especially since he was dealing with an ear infection, and we were in town for a wedding with no other option. Debra immediately put my mind at ease. She and her family were so kind and kept me in the loop with updates and photos. It was clear she understood his special needs and made sure he was comfy and safe the whole time. I loved getting the regular updates—felt like he was in great hands. By the time we got home, he seemed happy, healthy, and clearly well-loved. If you’re looking for a trustworthy, warm, and communicative person to care for your dog, Debra is awesome. Highly recommend!
The best Dog sitter we’ve ever had! Not only christina but everyone in her house took such good care of our two pitbull mixes. They ran around and had fun all day and were nice and exhausted for our five hour car ride home. The next time we come to Long Island, we will absolutely call upon her again! THANK YOU, CHRISTINA!
