About: Looking for the perfect person to care for your pet this summer? Look no further! My name is Justine and I have been caring for pets my entire life. Walking, exercising, basic grooming, training, I do it all! When your pet is with me, I will care for him/her as if they are my own. Communicating with you about all your petcare preferences, I will assure you that you can be at ease leaving your little love behind. Furthermore, I will update you with pictures of all your pets snuggles and adventures! I have experience with all kinds of pets, all ages, dietary restrictions, special needs, etc. My own dog, Oaklin, I trained to be a therapy dog and he used to work with me at a school. He is extremely friendly and if you are booking for your dog, he would love to tag along for a puppy play date (which is excellent for socialization and helps ease separation anxiety). Please let me know if you would like to book Oaklin as well for your dog's drop-in visit or walk. I always bring Oaklin on overnights with me, as I am a single dog mom myself. From June 28-August 8th I have open availability! Currently, I am a teacher, so I'm only available 5 PM or later on weekdays, and occasionally on weekends until June 28th. . I have cared for pets with varrying energy levels, ages, training, interests, and health conditions. When I care for your pet, I will treat it as if it is my own. I will be an extention of you while you are away to keep things as normal for your pet as possible. Let's chat about your pets needs and figure out what works best for your pet.
“Hands down best dog sitter I’ve ever had. I’ve never felt more comfortable leaving my baby with anyone else. I received photos and updates throughout the day and the experience with dogs was unmatched. Thank you! Will definitely use again!!!”
“Trisha graciously watched my 2 older dogs at the last minute in my home. She was an amazing houseguest, and was incredible with my visually impaired dog who requires various daily medications. My other grumpy dog took to Trisha immediately, which is remarkable as he can be stingy with his affection. Thank you Trisha and we all look forward to seeing you again soon.❤️”
“Wonderful with our older dogs with separation anxiety. She sat with them at our rental while we visited family in the area. Communicative, punctual, and a warm personality. Will ask her to dogsit again.”
“Daniela was so amazing with my dog Levi while I was away on vacation. She is professional, reliable, a great communicator and the best at what she does. She sent me pictures and updates of my dog while I was away and I would 10000% recommend her to anyone that I know.”
“Ruby did an excellent job taking care of my 2 dogs, and was very accommodating regarding scheduling on short notice. My friend who was supposed to pet sit fell through, so I was left looking for someone on a Tuesday night for a Friday to Sunday petsit. Ruby responded quickly to my initial questions regarding her availability and set up a meet and greet for Thursday evening. She was very good with our dogs and kept us updated as we asked how things were a few times during the weekend. The pups were very happy and contented when we got back on Sunday. Ruby did a great job and we will definitely be looking to use her in the future. ”

I’ve worked with all kinds of animals and love making sure they feel safe, happy, and loved. When I’m not helping at the vet, I volunteer at animal sanctuaries, so your furry friend will be in caring and experienced hands! Pet care is a big part of my daily routine—I dedicate time every day to walking, feeding, and playing with animals, whether it’s at the vet clinic, the sanctuary where I volunteer, or with the pets I’m sitting. I make sure every animal gets the attention and care they need to feel comfortable and happy. Weekly, I also stay on top of their health by following medication schedules and monitoring behavior closely. Caring for pets isn’t just a job for me—it’s something I genuinely enjoy and prioritize in my lif When caring for pets in my home, I create a safe, comfortable, and loving environment where your furry friend can relax and feel at ease.

I also make sure to monitor their health and behavior closely, so any needs or changes are noticed right away. When visiting your home, I treat your space and pet with the same respect and care. I stick to your pet’s daily schedule—feeding, walking, play, and rest—so they feel comfortable and secure in their familiar surroundings.

About: Animal lover and bestie since before I could walk! My house growing up felt like a zoo with 10 cats, 3 dogs, 2 guinea pigs, and my older brother's snake. All those personalities shaped my love for every animal! I’m currently in school full-time at the Fashion Institute of Technology! When I’m not in classes, my schedule is pretty clear to fill up with all the fur babies! For clients, I follow their detailed instructions regarding feeding schedules, medication, and any specific needs or routines. If they’re in my home, I have a separate room where I let the newcomer relax for a few hours before slowly introducing them to my friendliest animals first.

East Patchogue pet parents share their Rover experiences
Ruby was absolutely amazing with our puppy Ivy! 🐶💛 She watched her for the day in our apartment and made us feel so comfortable from the start. Ivy is still a young pup with lots of energy, and Ruby was so patient, attentive, and loving with her. We got updates throughout the day, which gave us such peace of mind. Ivy was happy, well cared for, and clearly had a great time! Our place was just as we left it too, which we really appreciated. We would 100% trust Ruby to watch Ivy again—she treated her like her own. Highly recommend.
