House Sitting in Dix Hills

“Kristina was a lifesaver when our usual dog sitter had to cancel last minute due to a health emergency. Kristina was available on short notice and even made time to come meet our dog Lorenzo a few days ahead to get him comfortable with her, and learn his routine and care needs. After that brief visit and her warm and patient approach with him, he took to her, and we felt completely at ease knowing he was in great hands. She kept us updated on how he was doing during the day and took great care of him. We will definitely be using Kristina again and highly recommend her to anyone looking for help with their pet!”

“Rose did an amazing job sitting for my two dogs, Noodle and Boba! Thank you so much for spending quality time with them while I was away. She sent plenty of photos and videos, asked questions about their schedules and habits, and I could tell from it all that my pups had a great time and were safe and healthy with Rose. I will definitely be reaching out to Rose whenever I need a sitter. Thank you!”

“Absolutely incredible. I needed a sitter for my pup last minute and Jess went out of her way above and beyond to squeeze in a meet and greet as well as watching my furbaby. Super sweet, punctual, great communication and absolutely love and care for my furbaby. Highly recommend and would definitely rebook with when needed.”

About: Ive always been around animals, both wild and domestic. I feel very fulfilled and passionate about working with animals, and understand their language quite well. Im happy to give exercise or comfort, whatever is needed. I can do some behavioral training as well. Im happy to adapt to whatever needs present themselves! I'm currently back at my parents house, waiting to join the Navy. I have plenty of free time and would love to spend it taking care of our furry friends! I have been traveling all over the country the past ten years, taking care of others pets and houses. This includes large lands, with chicken, goats, compost...the whole thing! I also have my own husky mix, and have kept her super happy and healthy. Ive also worked in behavioral health for years, and understand the approach that needs to be taken for both people and animals who have suffered from abuse.

About: I have owned dogs almost all my life and treat them as though they are my family. I have dealt with dogs who have to take medicine and dogs with different medical conditions. I have taken care of dogs of many different sizes from pugs to huskeys. I currently take care of my childhood dogs that live with my mother when she goes away. I am currently an unemployed college student, so over the summer I have all the time in the world to play, walk, and care for your pets! I will make sure that your pets follow all your house rules from putting them in a crate or not being allowed to use furniture.

“Linda is absolutely amazing! She watched our two dogs for a week and we couldn’t have asked for a better sitter. She was super flexible, easy to communicate with, and so sweet with our boys. It was clear she genuinely cared about them and treated them like her own. We came home to happy dogs and a cleaner house than how we even left if (after cleaning people!)— total peace of mind the entire time. Can’t thank her enough! Highly recommend and will definitely be booking with her again. 💛🐾”

About: As a lifelong dog lover and owner of a Goldendoodle for 9 years, I bring patience, reliability, and real hands-on experience to every walk and visit. I’m currently looking for full-time work and working part-time currently, so I am very flexible with my timing. I am around during the week and most weekends. In my home, I provide a safe, clean, and calm environment with space to play and relax. I follow each pet’s routine closely, including feeding, walks, playtime, and any special instructions. In a client’s home, I’m respectful of their space and make sure their pet feels comfortable and secure. I give lots of attention, maintain routines, and keep pet parents updated with photos and notes.

“Julia was amazing with my dog. She was always on time and updated me throughout the day. I would definitely recommend her and I will be using her services again”

“We highly recommend Jen. We came home to a happy dog and a clean home. We are so grateful to be able to go out of town knowing that Bertha is in such good hands!”

“Ava stepped up for us last minute when previous arrangements fell through. She is kind and considerate and wanted to make sure Tucker and Zeke had the best time while I was gone. I came home to a tidy house and she even stripped the sheets off the bed she slept in. I was not expecting that. I got daily photos of each dog while I was away, but I know deep down they did not miss me 🤣. I would reach out to her again.”

About: I currently own a mixed breed dog who is 14 years old. I also currently own a 20 year-old Bengal cat and 7 year-old Siamese cat. I’ve grown up with dogs and cats my whole life and have plenty of pet experience. I am recently retired so I have the time to take care of your pet(s) when you need a reliable dog/cat sitter or dog walker. I can come to your home for drop-in visits while you are at work or away on vacation. I can also come and walk your dog if you are away from home for extended hours.

About: Since grade school I have been taking care of my families animals. I have experience with puppies and kittens. In the past I have been done extended pet sitting for weeks at a time. My girlfriend and I currently have two young cats (Bob & Paolo). I am excited to match your fur babies energy whether that’s going on long walks or being couch potato’s together. You tell me! My girlfriend and I have recently moved to New York from Wichita, KS so she can finish up med school. Leaving my previous job behind I am currently available for what works for you! From previous pet sittings I am used to giving medication, adding raw food to kibble, & going on long walks. I took care of my sisters prehistoric 14 year old Frenchie who was very high maintenance. Just let me know what your fur baby needs!

About: Hi there! My name is Paige, and I’ve never known a life without dogs. Since I was around 6, I’ve been helping out around the house with pet-related chores. My passion and love for animals has shaped me as a human being, and I can’t wait to give your furry best friend all my love. :) I currently work part time, leaving me with lots of free time to care for your furry friend! No need to worry about me cancelling last minute! Ever since I was born, there has been a dog in the house. I was taught at a young age to care for and unconditionally love animals. Your pets safety is of utmost importance to me. When I am taking care of your pet I am alert, aware, and focused.

About: I have taken care of my family friends dogs for years, often ranging from elderly mini poodles to energetic border collies. I also have my own dog, however, because I am away for college she is currently not with me. I am also a Division 1 Athlete so I love taking them out on walks and having fun with them. I am available on mornings of weekdays and all day on weekends, because I am a full time student-athlete. In addition, late evenings of weekdays work well for me as well. I will often take pets on walks and make sure they get adequate exercise. Having a pet of my own, I understand how important nutrition is to your pets and will follow whatever plan you have for them. In addition, I also acknowledge how important it is to have a clean pet, and can wash your pet.

“Pam is the best. So sweet and thoughtful. I can tell she really cares about me as a client, but most importantly my 2 fur babies. Excellent communication and I will definitely have her as my dogsitter going forward.”

“Ivana is an AMAZING pet sitter. She is extremely caring and attentive for you and your pet. I am lucky to have had my pet become bffs with Ivana. I will absolutely be booking her again in the future and recommending her to friends and family ?.”

“Thank you again Sarah for watching and taking care of Cookie for me while I was gone! She had an awesome time with Java. Sarah was very hands on with Cookie and made sure she had plenty of yard time. I came home to a tired dog who enjoyed her evening full of fun! Thank you so much☺️”

About: Michael and I have been dog sitting through Rover for almost 4 years but have been dog owners most of our lives. We are passionate about providing the best care possible as we would for our dogs, Mya and Harley. This is what you can expect from us: - We schedule an initial phone call to learn more about your animals and the care you are looking for. If it seems like a good fit, we like scheduling a meet and greet to ensure your animals feel comfortable with us. (and possibly Mya and Harley) - We discuss payment (can be flexible depending on the number of animals and the length of the stay) and agree to either go through Rover or take private pay. - The experience on our profile does not reflect the amount of jobs we have done so feel free to ask for references of the families we have worked for! - We send daily updates and pictures during our stays to ensure you are comfortable and confident your pets are happy and being taken care of to your liking! I work fully REMOTE as a mental health counselor and am able to tailor my schedule to fit your animals needs. I have plenty of time to walk, play, feed and enjoy the company of your animals while working from your home. Being that I work remote - we ask if you would be comfortable accommodating our dogs Mya and Harley for house stays that are extended stays (2+ nights). I do my best to make other arrangements if possible but I do not always have the support needed for longer stays. Drop-in visits are more straight forward. Michael is less present throughout the day - working full time as a custom car mechanic but enjoys coming home and decompressing by taking long walks with the pups and playing before bedtime. Most of the dogs we have watched have really developed a heightened sense of comfort having more than one person they can build a connection with. We are available for morning walks, some afternoons and evening walks for drop-in visits. We offer to stay in your home because we know how change of environment can contribute to anxiety in your animals. It offers a more personal experience for your dogs and extra security knowing they will remain in their own homes with two caretakers. We are diligent with ensuring that your home is locked and animals are settled and comfortable for drop-in visits. We are happy to provide updates to ensure your comfort in how we are coming and going from your home.

About: Hello, my name is Anna, and I’m a dedicated and experienced dog caregiver with a lifelong passion for animals. Over the years, I’ve had the privilege of owning and caring for three wonderful dogs—a Bichon Frise, a Lab mix, and a Pitbull—each of whom taught me something unique about loyalty, love, and responsibility. My Experience I have hands-on experience managing all aspects of dog ownership, including training, daily walks, vet appointments, and all related care expenses. I'm comfortable with dogs of all breeds and sizes and am confident handling multiple dogs at once. Whether it’s a high-energy pup or a gentle senior, I tailor my care to each dog’s individual needs. I work full-time, but pet care is a meaningful part of my life and something I make time for. I’m available for evening walks, weekend dog sitting, and flexible drop-ins. Caring for animals brings me joy, and I always ensure they get the attention and love they deserve, no matter how busy life gets. In my home, pets stay in a safe, clean, and loving environment with plenty of attention, playtime, and care. I follow their usual routine to help them feel at ease. In a client’s home, I respect your space and stick to your pet’s schedule—feeding, walking, and giving them the love and attention they’re used to. Wherever your pet is, I care for them like they’re my own.

About: I am very responsible and caring and I’m quick to learn whatever makes your pet happiest. Whether it be belly rubs, baths, play time, or going outside I am willing and able to take care of your pet just like you would! I recently graduated with my Masters and wanted some time off to study for my architecture exams. I love caregiving and playing with pups when I take a break, will happily follow any feeding/walking/medicine schedule you need. I always follow whatever rules my client has for their pet; climbing on furniture, cleanliness, and food intake, etc. If sitting in the clients home - I will respect your space and I can lift a medium sized dog if needed for medical reasons.
