“This was our first booking with Patricia and we're really happy with how everything went. She's exactly what we were looking for in a cat sitter and we will definitely be booking her again in the future. She handled everything we asked for and then some. It was a relief to know that our cats were being well looked after twice a day. We also really appreciated the updates and pictures she sent after her visits. Highly recommended!”

She was attentive and communicated with me during the visit. I will definitely book with Caitlyn again to care for Milo :) He was in good hands 🥰”
“Julina is amazing and I wish I could give her 100 stars. She's taken care of my Samoyed previously and always done an amazing job. She's responsive, friendly, and sends frequent updates including photos. My dog is always well cared for when return. But I am especially grateful to her for her dependability, flexibility, and kindness. I was recently admitted to the hospital due to a medical emergency for a full week, and so caring for my dog during that time was a huge stress. I eventually reached out to Julina, and despite the immediacy of my request, she was more than willing to help. Words cannot express how much of a relief it was to know that my dog was being taken care of by great hands while I was in the hospital, and the photos she sent always brightened my day.”
About: What sets me apart from other pet sitters is my deep love and understanding of pets. With two cats of my own and years of experience caring for dogs, I truly know how much pets are a part of the family. I treat every pet I care for as if they were my own—providing them with the same love, attention, and respect that I give to my own animals. Whether it's cuddles, playtime, or just ensuring they feel safe and loved, I'm here to make sure your pet has the best care possible while you're away! I am available all day, 7 days a week for your pets needs. Please feel free to reach out for any of your pet needs! I have two cats of my own, Gregg and Noodle. I love to play with them and give them the love and attention they deserve. I am comfortable giving medication to your pets as I do with my own.
About: I have 20+ years of caring for animals of all types. My own dog was unfortunately allergic to grass and almost every type of food. He needed to receive weekly injections in the nape of his neck which I would administer as well as following his prescription protocols to the tee. As the general manager of several different Petcos and PetSmart's, I have amassed quite a bit of knowledge about many animals, especially dogs. I am a nutrition specialist, have experience in grooming, am knowledgeable of natural and medicinal ways to calm hyperactivity, and have extensive experience in many different types of training from proper walking, issuing commands, house breaking, interacting with other dogs, and multiple other aspects of whatever is necessary. If I cannot answer your questions, the trustworthy contacts I have amassed throughout my tenure at these establishments would be more than happy to help with their vast wealth of information. I have also had the unpleasant experience of helping dogs who are experiencing life threatening health complications and know what I am capable of, an also when it is time to seek medical attention. All credentials aside, I truly do love and appreciate animals of all kinds and can't wait to meet yours! I currently work part time and my job is a 2 minute drive from my house so your animal will never be left alone for more than an hour or less. I have a fenced in yard with trees on all sides. I live across the street from an elementary school with a massive fenced in field which is where I like to walk and play fetch and other games with dogs. I have been given carte blanche by the workers there as I have lived here for so many years so I can come and go as I please without any interference.
About: Hi! My name is Ally, and I’ve been a trusted caregiver for both children and dogs for over 14 years. I live in Oceanside with two other adults and my 10-pound Shorkie, who is the light of my life. Being a pet parent myself for over a decade, I understand just how important it is to feel confident that your pup is safe, loved, and well cared for when you’re away. I primarily dog-sat in California before moving to New York to attend school and work full-time as a babysitter. Now, I’m excited to offer dog sitting services again – both in my home and yours! 🐾 In-Home Dog Sitting (Small Dogs Only): Because of my own small pup, I can only welcome small dogs into my home for boarding. My girl is not spayed so I will only be accepting neutered males at this time. I offer a cozy, calm, and loving environment where your dog will feel like part of the family. 🐾 House Sitting & Drop-Ins: If your dog is more comfortable staying in their own home, I also offer house sitting or drop-in visits. I’m experienced, reliable, and always respectful of your space and your pet’s routine. Whether your dog needs cuddles, walks, or just a calm, caring presence, I’m here to help. Feel free to message me with any questions or to schedule a meet-and-greet! — Ally 🐾 Oceanside, NY **Use this link for $20 off your first booking: https://www.rover.com/sit/allya09846 ** My schedule is flexible, and I’m often home throughout the day, which allows me to give dogs plenty of attention, outdoor time, and affection. I structure my day around their needs, making sure they’re safe, stimulated, and snuggled. Whether it’s potty breaks, playtime, or cuddles on the couch, caring for dogs is naturally built into my daily rhythm. When dogs stay in my home, I provide a calm, clean, and loving environment tailored especially for small breeds. To ensure safety for my 10-pound Shorkie and other little companions, I only accept small dogs and always supervise interactions closely. I’m also equipped with portable pet playpens for added comfort and security, whether for rest, separation when needed, or safe outdoor time. When staying in a client’s home, I’m deeply respectful of your space and your pet’s routine—keeping things tidy, consistent, and stress-free. Clear communication and trust are at the heart of how I care for every animal.
About: I enjoy everything that is the responsibility of taking care of animals. Since I was in elementary school I've always lived with a dog in the home. Having that genuine bond with them let me notice how happy they truly get from quality time and the love they receive. I have one dog already, so she gets walked every Morning (6am-10am) , Afternoon (1pm-3pm), and Night (8pm-11pm). At these times I also have time to show these doggies / cats attention. I have one miniature poodle who loves to meet new pet pals. And I have a spacious cage for over night if that's what you prefer.
About: I have taken care of pets others and my own for 22 years plus. I am a trained behaviorist, and I have worked with children and pets to create behaviors that feel good for both of us. I am an entrepreneur and have scheduled clients, that are either local or via zoom. I also work with several children. I have space in my schedule for boarding and animal care, only one animal at a time. I have a fenced in yard, I have a car, and live near the boardwalk for longer walks. I am happy to sit or visit in your house and keep your pet company, as well as board small dogs. And well behaved bigger dogs.

We couldn’t have asked for a better dog sitter! From the moment I met Lisa I knew our pups would be in the best hands. She was incredibly loving, attentive, and kept us updated with the sweetest photos and messages while we were away. It’s so clear how much she cares! our dogs were happy, relaxed, and clearly adored her. She went above and beyond in every way, and we will absolutely be booking with her again. If you want peace of mind and a dog sitter who treats your pets like her own, she’s the one!
We have never used Rover before, But I will highly recommend it, especially Hannah!! What a pleasure to have her for our Pippin!! So attentive to walk & feed her!! Played and walked her 2xs a day!!! Also fed, made sure wee wee pads were always cleaned too. Pippin made new friends this weekend!! Hope she'll be happy to see us now loool
Alex was amazing! He was a total professional from the start. We had no issues with Communication, he was always prompt with his responses. He went above and beyond with his care of our dog Lily! He was able to help our skittish pup get out of her shell. He sent updates daily while we were away which helped our separation anxiety. I would 100% recommend Alex!
it was my first time using an outside Cat Sitter other than family members so I was quite nervous. Carly turned out to be wonderful. She was reliable, super friendly, and my baby took to her immediately I would highly recommend her as I plan on using her for any of my upcoming trips.
