About: I’ve had pets my whole life through all 24 years. I started helping care for them around the age of 10, including two high energy Australian Shepherds, two cats, a rabbit, and exotic fish. I’m very active, love going on walks, and have been a long distance runner for years. I completed the New York City Half Marathon in spring 2024. I’m happy to do multiple walks a day or long mile walks. I’ve always been an animal lover raised in a home where pets are family. I want your pets to feel just as loved and happy as mine. I work part time and take online classes, so I have a flexible schedule. I’m available for drop ins to give your pets some attention and for dog walking.

“Sydney is highly responsive and has a natural love for dogs. Being away for several days I felt 100% at ease that Maya was in great hands. I would highly recommend.”
“Jason has been absolutely incredible. We needed someone to let our 2 pups out 3x a day and we were in a time crunch. This was my very first time using rover so I was a bit hesitant. Jason came and met the pups and us before booking and right away he had such a professional and mature demeanor. So happy we found Jason and will be using him again for sure!”
About: Hello Fellow Pet Parents, I work in education so I have an abundance of availability in the summer. During the school year I’m free weekends and during holiday breaks for all sitting purposes! So what can I say!?! Hummm… I Have assisted in the pet sitting world for over 10 years both commercially and privately. Built our own little dog park which gets cleaned daily. My pups are super friendly and love to do zoomies with visitors. The home is open and spacious. All dogs get individual attention. I work, but during the summer and parts of the year I do work remotely and have time off. I spend most of my weekends, afternoons, and evenings home with the pups and family. I have a fenced in little doggie park that gets cleaned daily. Dogs are free to roam the home unless you prefer them to be crated at anytime (ex. Bedtime). Two small dogs live here who are extremely social, vaccinated, and love playing with visitors. There are doggie cameras too. I make myself available anytime for my fellow doggie parents.
“Paul was great! He made himself available for a pre-visit meet and greet and was warm and professional. His communication was responsive and he provided great updates. It was a pleasure to work with a mature and reliable sitter. We will not hesitate to ask him back for our next sit!”
About: I am a mom of 4 (number 3 and 4 being twins) with two pups of our own! I am always looking to find a way to help others, and this was a perfect fit! I am looking forward to sharing love and good care for your fur babies as well! I currently make my own schedule for my full time job so pet care fits perfectly into this routine! Helping others and providing love and care to animals is something that I am passionate about. It's a passion of mine to take care of fur babies! I have two of my own, Monty and Mako! With that being said, while your pet is in my company, they will be treated with nothing but love and I will provide all the time they may need. My service will never be rushed and they will always be treated as if they were mine!
About: As a registered nurse, I bring a unique level of expertise, attentiveness, and care that sets me apart from other pet sitters. My medical training allows me to confidently handle pets with special health needs, administer medications safely, and recognize early signs of illness or distress. I'm calm under pressure, detail-oriented, and experienced in caring for those who can’t speak for themselves — making me especially compassionate and intuitive with animals. Your pet’s well-being is my top priority, and I provide care with the same level of professionalism and empathy I bring to my nursing practice. Nursing shifts often are scheduled in blocks giving me extended periods of availability for pet care. During my days off, I can dedicated focused, quality tim to pets offering companionship and much needed attention! Whether it’s a short visit or an extended stay, I bring the same level of care and responsibility I offer to my human patients, ensuring your pet feels safe, loved, and well looked after in their own home.
About: I have pet sit other dogs prior but the one dog that sticks out is my sister’s black lab. Shakira was a black lab mutt with an auto immune disease. She needed twice daily medication and to be taken out side frequently. I work nights as a custodian for a school district ! So I’m available early to mid mornings for walks or house sitting over the weekends. As I have a cat, my number one priority for him is always making sure the doors are shut. He’s an indoor kitty and I ensure that it stays that way. Always guaranteed to have food and water and a clean litter box.
“Great service and good communication! Thanks Leo!”
“Sarah Z The aka "dog whisper". I have never been away before and I have two protective yet talkative yet shy 11 month old German shepards, Sarah came over and met my girls and it was like a whole new experience yet training training session in one! She is kind compassionate and so amazing with animals. I felt so at ease leaving my kids with her when I went away, I would highly recommend her to anyone! Honestly this was my first time using this app but I will always use Sarah two thumbs up and a bunch of gold stars.”
About: My earliest memories have a four legged friend running around to call my sibling. This cultivated in me a love for dogs that I carry with me every day. I have also cared for the pets of friends and others in both a personal and professional capacity. I am a graduate student in Stony Brook’s Doctorate in Physical Therapy program. I am currently on my first clinical rotation and am free to extend my care beyond patients to pets after my shifts throughout the week. When first meeting a new pet, I always bring myself to their level and allow them to come to me first. During walks, I always make sure to secure the leash around my wrist and keep every dog on the side of the street away from the road. This eliminates any unnecessary risks and places your pet’s safety at the upmost importance.
