“This was my first time using Rover and I was very happy with Ericka. Our cat was very comfortable around her. I will definitely use her again when I need a sitter. 5 stars!!”
“Sam took great care of my cat Elsa while I was away. She gave her the medicine she needed and made sure she ate. Her litter box was clean and I enjoyed the pictures of Elsa every day.”
“I had the absolute best experience with Lindsay K. and can't recommend her enough to anyone who needs pet sitting services! She took care of my two cats for a week while I was in the process of moving, and from the very start (booking on the app) she made everything so easy and completely stress-free. She was incredibly communicative, flexible, and accommodating with scheduling - which I really appreciated while things were a little hectic on my end. She sent me at least three updates a day, complete with photos and little notes about how they were doing, what they were up to, and how they were eating and behaving. It was so reassuring and honestly a huge relief to know they were being so well looked after. One of my cats acts like she owns the place (any place) and the other is pretty shy and takes a while to warm up to new people. Lindsay easily accommodated their individual personality preferences and silly sibling dynamic so that both cats were clearly getting lots of love and attention every day. She was so patient, kind, and gentle with my scaredy cat that he warmed up quickly and was comfortable and happy in her care. It’s not easy to find someone like Lindsay who is not only reliable and professional, but also genuinely thoughtful and caring when it comes to bonding with pets. I felt completely at ease leaving my cats in her care, and was happy to bring home two very content and well-cared-for kitties. If you’re looking for someone who will treat your pets like her own, look no further — she’s the best! 100/10 stars and would 100% book again the next time I need a cat sitter!”
“Steff was amazing! I booked her services while I was away in Egypt, and having her care for Mylo while I was on the other side of the world gave me so much peace of mind. She was responsive, reliable, and did her best to bond with my skittish cat. I really appreciated the updates and photos of him too. Highly recommend and will book her again in the future! ❤️”
About: I have a lot of experience with dogs and only a few with cats but i love both and i am very excited to spend some time with your pets! Available all business days before 10am and after 2:30! If you have something outside of that, let me know and I can try and figure something out! I typically can’t care for pets in my home because I dorm at Eastern University, but in your home, my priority would be the animals well being and also your homes cleanliness.
About: I have taken care of pets since I was 5 years old. That includes dogs, cats, lizards, snakes. I love them all. They love me. unfortunately, my apartment complex does not allow Pitbulls sorry I can cover most days and evening needs. I have the needed transportation to meet your needs. I am ready to help you any way I can. I can care for your pets needs in your home or my apartment. I am flexible in doing whatever is required to meet your needs
“Sha-Niyah was an excellent choice for drop-in visits we needed for our 2 cats. Communication was fantastic. Instructions were very well followed. She went above and beyond to make sure our cats were comfortable and cared for. We will definitely rebook with Sha-Niyah in the future!”
About: I have taken care of dogs since I was twelve. My family and I have two beautiful dogs. I take care of everything they need. Also, I worked in a veterinary clinic so I have experience with grooming, bathing handling difficult animals, administering medication and whatever needs that your dog might have. You just have to tell me and I will take care of it. I’m currently working a part time job and I’m enrolling in college. I am available for dog walks or visits between 10:30 am and 2:00 pm. If you need a boarding care I am available Friday nights, Saturday and Sunday all day. My backyard it is not completely fenced but you don’t have to worry because near to the house there’s a park where I can take you lovely dogs for walks. On the other hand, if you need me to take care of your dog in your house please let me know your instructions and your dogs preference or routine and I will do it.
About: I work with dogs at a kennel and walk dogs everyday that I’m there. I am determined and hard working as well. I want to make sure you and your dog are happy. I’ve been working at a dog kennel for almost 2 years, and I have a lot of experience with walking dogs. I’m working full time at the kennel currently, and I walk a lot of dogs throughout each day. Dog walking has became something that is a part of my daily routine. I have a lot of pets at home, and I work with dogs as well. I know how to properly walk a dog to make sure they are safe.
About: I’ve been dogsitting since I was 15, now I’m 22. I have a lot of experience and have watched and walked many dogs. I love all animals, currently I have two doggys of my own. I’m currently a student but I am off for the summer so I have plenty of time to take care of all your loving pets! When I dogsit I always stay over at the owners house, this ensures the dog is most comfortable in their home environment. I make sure to always keep doors locked & leave the houses in cleaner condition than I arrived in.
About: Organized, energetic, engaging, patient, hands-on, and just very attentive. I want to make sure you and your pet are satisfied with my service and time. I work remotely weekdays so I’m available usually 7 days a week to sit your pet when you have to run out for any reason! I have no problem doing pop ins for walks, feedings, or simply pets! I’m flexible as I do know life can throw curveballs often. I make sure to clean up after the pet or myself. I just try to make sure the pet feels at home despite me being the odd thing out. I follow instructions per pet owners and wouldn't want to jeopardize your pet or my safety
About: I don't know life without dogs - I've grown up with multiple dogs at a time - huskies, labs, a boxer, and now a beagle. I have dog-sat for pups of all sizes, energy-levels, and clinginess. My beagle was the most stubborn boy and after extensive training, I am confident that I can adapt to the needs of any pup who may require extra guidance & a need to maintain a routine and comfort. 2025 Update: I've had to return to the office full-time, and so my services are limited at the moment. I am available on weekends and most holidays for in-home sitting or dog-walking. Dogs are allowed on the couch. I have safety gates to prevent pets from being in the kitchen during cooking or eating (to maintain boundaries and prevent food-driven conflict with one another). Dogs are allowed to sleep in the bed if it’s most comfortable for them as I understand the need for some pups to have human contact for sleep. I live with Jasper, a 3 year old beagle who is well socialized and shares his toys. To maintain safety and attentiveness, I only accept one booking at a time. We can arrange a meet and greet upon your request.
“I used Allee on 2 different occasions to board my 11 yr old cat who needed insulin injections twice a day. It went well and I'm very happy. I would definitely use her again.”

Over 7 pet parents in Central Islip have booked cat sitting
Central Islip cat parents share their Rover experiences
Joanne took care of our 3 pets during drop-in visits over a 3-day period. Joanne showed great care while feeding and interacting with Fiona (our 10 year old pit bull), Davlin (our 17 year old frail cat), as well as Moshie (our shy 13 year old cat). Joanne provided detailed information regarding her care for the individual needs of each of our pets during each visit. She also provided numerous photos of each animal while visiting. Prior to her drop-ins, Joanne came over for a Meet and Greet in order to go over details while visiting, as well as getting to meet our pets. In addition, Joanne kept us up to date with each interaction while visiting and any questions or concerns that she or we may have had during the visits. Without a doubt Joanne demonstrates a tremendous amount of care and professionalism in every aspect while working with us and caring for Fiona, Davlin and Moshie. I look forward to having Joanne care for our pets in the future, as well as highly recommend anyone who has a need for someone to care for their pets.
