“Kristina is incredible and so empathetic to our dog’s wants and needs. He struggles with separation anxiety and Kristina was more than willing to accommodate to make him comfortable. We will absolutely be booking again!”
“We went away for 10 days to Portugal, which was the longest we ever have been away from our dogs. Rose made us feel much better with her excellent care. She sent countless updates, pictures, and videos. I can tell my dogs were happy and relaxed. She followed our instructions exactly and left our home exactly how she found it. We will use her again!”
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: 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!
“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: 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.

I will definitely use her in the future and recommend her.”

Highly recommend Willianny.”

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.
About: I have an almost 5 year old dog named Apollo and a 3 months old kitten named Nacho. I have volunteered with the Northport Cat Rescue Association for 4 years. I also am a pet caregiver on Wag! I always treat all animals as if they are my own. I am a college student taking 2 summer classes online so my schedule is very flexible. I usually wake up by 8am to feed my kitten, whom is fed 3 times a day by either me or my family. I have a huge fenced in yard with lots of green space and a pool. My dog always loves to run around outside or even sit on the deck and feel the breeze. I have 2 floors of my house, my babies mostly stay on the main floor which is where most toys, food, water, etc are located. We do have indoor fences that we can out up or take down to separate parts of the house if necessary!
“Denise dog-sat for me this past weekend and did a great job. She ensured that Neela, my high energy, picky-eater Australian shepherd ate well, took her on walks and exercised her in the yard. She completed all the tasks that we gave her such as wiping Neela down after she played outside and updated me frequently with pictures and texts. My family and I appreciate her for all her help 😊”
About: I have 2 dogs of my own, one is 15 and one is 7. I trained them both when they were puppies and now I take care of the oldest in his old age. I have also cared for my brother’s dog, and several of my neighbors dogs in the past. I’ve always been a dog lover and I always will be! I am a Montessori teacher currently off for the summer! I am looking to keep busy by doing something I love! If all works out I would love to continue this long term. I will try to gain your dog’s trust by following their lead. I will do whatever it takes to make your dog feel comfortable and loved while you are not around!
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.
“Kitty was amazing. I could tell she was a dog person from the moment she arrived at my home to meet everyone. My two large dogs (one Great Dane and one lab mix) took an instant liking to her. She came to visit us a second time before we left just to make sure the dogs remembered her. They did! They were overjoyed to see her. Kitty stayed at my house for 3 days while we were away. She sent daily updates, including pictures and videos. She was clean and punctual but most importantly, showered my dogs with love. I absolutely recommend her to anyone looking for a pet sitter.”
“Kimberly is a compassionate, responsible person who helped my Labrador mix Tory feel comfortable during our trip. My dog can be guarded and slow to warm up to others and Kimberly successfully cared for her. I am impressed with her professionalism and highly recommend her. She did a wonderful job and communicated throughout our time away.”

It gave me real peace of mind knowing he was in such capable hands.”
Gabrielle R.
“I just got my first puppy, and since I occasionally work outside my home, I was nervous about leaving my 3-month-old pup alone for too long.

Knowing she’s checking in until someone gets home gives me so much peace of mind. Truly, it was the best decision I’ve made!”

Dix Hills pet parents share their Rover experiences
Kristina was absolutely fabulous! She took great care of our two (!!) puppies with patience, photo updates, and great care. We are so appreciative!
⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ I cannot recommend Rose highly enough for her exceptional dog-sitting services! She took care of our dog and home while we were away. From the moment I reached out to inquire about her availability, she was incredibly responsive and accommodating. We quickly scheduled a meet and greet, and it was clear from the start that she is a true animal lover. Rose was also very flexible when we needed to change the start time of the dog-sitting schedule, which made our planning so much easier. During the weekend we were away, she took wonderful care of our dog, Cloud, in our home. She walked him three times a day, ensuring he got plenty of exercise and fresh air. It was heartwarming to see how much she genuinely cared for him, as she cuddled with him and spoiled him with love and attention. Knowing that Cloud was in such capable hands gave us peace of mind while we were away. Thank you, Rose, for your dedication and kindness! We will definitely be reaching out to you in the future!
