About: I love animals, especially dogs, and have taken care of them since I was a kid! Over the past decade I've developed a lot of professional pet care experience as I worked alongside pet groomers such as my wife. I have attended pet care seminars and trade shows in order to further expand my animal handling skills. I work from home and have a car, so it's easy for me to get around as needed. My schedule is flexible, especially during the day. We have a big yard and two awesome, lovely chihuahua mixes, and an old-man cat that just lazes around on furniture. On occasion we also foster dogs for rescues, so we're used to giving love and attention to animals in our home <3

“Today was my first time using rover. Violet was my first walker. She showed up on time and respected our home. She was patient getting to know my dog and showed him kindness. I appreciate her taking care of my doggie while i was at work. Will def do it again.”

About: I've been caring for pets since I was 14 years old. What started with helping neighbors and family friends quickly grew through word-of-mouth recommendations from people who trusted me with their beloved pets. In addition to caring for others' animals, I grew up with a dog, cat, and guinea pig, giving me firsthand experience with the daily responsibilities and joys of pet ownership. Animals have always been a huge part of my life, and my love for them inspired me to pursue a degree in Wildlife Science. After recently graduating and moving back home, I'm excited to reconnect with my community and find opportunities to care for animals again. Whether it's walks, drop-in visits, feeding, playtime, or providing companionship, I’m dedicated to making sure every pet feels safe, happy, and well cared for while their owners are away. I look forward to meeting you and your furry, scaled, feathered, etc. family members! Since moving back home, I have plenty of time throughout the week and on weekends, so collaborating our schedules will be simple and straightforward :) In your home, I will be sure to follow your specific care instructions very closely, as well as respect everything in the home as if it were my own. I love to send updates throughout my visits with pictures and videos so you don’t feel like you have to keep inquiring about how everything is going. Whether we're on a walk or spending time at home, I'll provide compassionate care and make sure your pet feels happy and comfortable.

About: As a dog sitter, I’m responsible, caring and attentive to each dogs needs. I follow our owners instructions carefully, ensuring proper feeding, exercise, and medication if needed. I keep owners updated with regular check-ins and photos. Most importantly, I truly love dogs and treat each one with kindness and respect ensuring they are happy and well cared for when in my care. Pet care is my full-time job, so it’s a big part of my daily and weekly routine. My schedule allows plenty of time to walk, feed, and play with your dog, making sure they get the attention and care they need. We live in a home with a large fenced in backyard. We have a dog of our own - a friendly, small mixed breed rescue.

“Kim is a great dog walker. She is clearly a dog person! She has walked my dog many times over the past few months. She is always pleasant, professional, and reliable. Most importantly, my dog is always very happy to see her!”

“We needed someone to let out and walk Molly, our 35 lb lab mix, while we were away for a weekend. Molly's a bit nervous and didn't do well when we left her at a dog kennel previously. Felicia made us feel comfortable right away, and Molly was smitten too. I would highly recommend Felicia to anyone looking for a special someone to take care of their pets.”

About: Growing up, my family always had a house full of dogs and cats of every size, breed, and personality — and we often fostered strays, too! From an early age, I learned hands-on skills like training techniques, behavioral understanding, and basic at-home vet care. Over time, I developed a calm, intuitive approach that helps me connect with almost any animal I meet (and I’m always happy to prove it!). In middle and high school, I spent weekends volunteering at my local animal shelter, CNY SNAP in Cortland, NY. As an adult, I continued rescuing and rehoming cats and dogs until a few years ago when I welcomed my daughter. Now that she’s a bit older, I’m thrilled to be back doing what I love — caring for animals of all kinds. I understand that not every pet instantly warms up to new people, and that’s totally okay. I never force affection — instead, I read their cues, respect their boundaries, and build trust at their own pace. Whether your pet is shy, playful, senior, or special-needs, I’ll meet them where they are and give them the care and patience they deserve. Reliability and safety are my top priorities. When I’m in your home, I treat it with the same care and respect I would my own — leaving things clean, tidy, and often better than I found them. I value your privacy and always maintain discretion about your space and schedule. I’m detail-oriented and take note of the little things that make a big difference — from following feeding routines precisely to keeping track of any changes in your pet’s behavior. I’m also big on communication: you’ll receive thoughtful, photo-filled updates so you can relax knowing your pets are happy, safe, and cared for. Clients have described me as calm, reliable, and attentive — someone they can truly trust. My goal is always to create a stress-free experience for both you and your pet. I work from home on my own time so I have open availability! Weekends welcomed, and most holidays as well! I do my best to keep my schedule updated. While I can’t host pets in my own home (lease restrictions), I’m proud to provide an exceptional experience for both you and your pet in your home. I treat every home and animal with the highest level of care and respect, ensuring a calm, clean, and comfortable environment. I follow your pet’s care plan to the letter — feeding, medication, walks, bedtime routines, and all the little details that make them feel secure. I also go above and beyond to leave your space in great condition (because let’s be honest, a little pet mess is part of the fun!). If any questions or concerns arise, I’ll always reach out before taking any steps we haven’t discussed. I believe in clear, consistent communication and earning trust through reliability, attention to detail, and genuine love for what I do. And of course — all the cuddles and playtime are included, free of charge! ⭐ Please Note: I may occasionally have my five-year-old daughter with me for overnight stays. This will always be discussed ahead of time during our meet and greet to make sure you’re completely comfortable.

About: I have had dogs for pets for over 30 years. I have been immersed in the everyday rhythm of dogs — raising my own with steady patience and learning the subtle cues that only decades of experience can teach. Along the way, he became the person friends and neighbors relied on whenever their dogs needed real attention, not just a quick walk. From energetic pups to older dogs who need a gentler pace. I bring seasoned instincts, calm leadership, and a reputation built on showing up, knowing what each dog needs, and treating every one of them like family. I work full time with rotating hours and days off. Even though I work full time I am very flexible.and can help with last minute notice. Even though I will not be taking care of dogs in my home, I can be trusted in your home to crate the dogs, let them out, or take them for a walk.

About: I grew up with every type of animal, and it has made me love and appreciate them all endlessly! I have always been extremely passionate about caring for animals, and love that you are willing to trust me with yours! All size, all ages, just for drop-in or for boarding, I do it all (even last minute)! I work part time, and am mostly free depending on the day! I understand life can be busy, so I am absolutely willing to work with you and around busy schedules :) I follow all instructions given by the owner, and live in an extremely animal friendly complex! I will go above and beyond to make sure your pet is safe, comfortable, and happy.

About: Growing up, I was surrounded by both cats and dogs. This gave me a deep understanding of their unique needs and behaviors. I’m adept at managing their varied personalities, from the playful energy of dogs to the independent nature of cats. My lifelong experience has taught me how to provide tailored care, ensuring both cats and dogs receive the attention they need, whether it’s through engaging play, gentle grooming, or adhering to their individual routines. This familiarity allows me to offer a comforting and attentive environment, making sure your pets feel cherished and secure while you're away. I understand how nerve-racking it can be to find the best care for your furry children, I’m here to provide that. I am typically free after 5pm on Tuesdays and after 5:30pm on Fridays. My availability on the weekends depends so the earlier the notice, the better! Whether caring for pets in my home or yours, I prioritize creating a safe, comfortable environment tailored to their needs. In my home, I offer a pet-friendly space with all the necessary amenities, including cozy resting spots. I do not have any pets in my home so all eyes will be on your furry friend. I maintain a clean and secure environment, ensuring that your pets feel at ease. When caring for them at your home, I respect their familiar surroundings while providing the same high standard of care. I follow their routine meticulously, from feeding and exercise to playtime and medication, and make sure to keep their environment as comfortable and stress-free as possible. My goal is to ensure your pets are happy and well-cared for, no matter where they are.

About: Ive loved animals for as long as I can remember! I have one adorable chocolate lab named Rocky who is my best friend. I grew up surrounded by dogs and worked in a pet store for 2 years!

I understand that we often look at our pets as members of the family and want to make sure to prioritize the comfortability and safety of both you and your pet!

About: I’ve always had a love for animals. My family always tells me I’d be a good dog/cat sitter because of how much I love playing and spending time with animals I’m currently attending school to become an Xray Tech. While school takes up most of my time, I don’t have time for a full time job so I’m looking to offer my help to those who need help with their fur babies whenever I can I love and care for others animals the same way I’d care for my own. My main goal is ensuring the safety of my pet

About: Hi! I’m a local dog lover in the Commack area with a lifelong connection to animals. I grew up with small dogs and currently care for two rescued dogs, a Standard Poodle and a Maltese, who are truly my furbabies. I also volunteer at a PetSmart cat adoption center, where I’ve been helping care for cats for over a year. I’m starting pet sitting because I genuinely enjoy calm, safe, and caring neighborhood walks during the day. I especially love helping dogs get their daily exercise, attention, and comfort while their owners are busy. My goal is to be a reliable and gentle presence your pet can feel safe with, just like a trusted neighbor. Pet care fits into my weekly routine during weekday mornings around lunchtime. I am available for 30 minute neighborhood dog walks or short drop-in visits to check on pets, provide care, and make sure they are comfortable and well taken care of while their owners are away during the day. I do not offer boarding in my home because I already have two dogs of my own, and I want to maintain a safe and calm environment for all pets. I only provide care in clients’ homes or nearby neighborhoods, focusing on small dogs under 40 lbs. For dog walking, I offer calm and safe 30-minute neighborhood walks with one dog at a time to ensure full attention and control (Up to two dogs per household). For drop-in visits, I follow all owner instructions, including feeding, fresh water, and letting dogs out into the backyard if needed. My priority is always safety, trust, and making sure each pet feels comfortable and secure in their familiar environment.

About: I have a B.S. in animal science with the goal of going to veterinary school. I have experience as a vet assistant in a small animal hospital, as well as a variety of animal experiences. I was a part of a college club training future guiding eyes for the blind dogs, where I also became a certified sitter for Guiding Eyes for the blind. I owned and cared for a Shih Tzu for 15 years and have watched friends' and family's dogs. I'm currently working part-time, so I will have plenty of time to walk and play with your dogs! I'm available all day on weekends and on Wednesdays. I am currently available on Tuesdays and Thursdays after 11:30 am. Your pet will be well supervised with plenty of affection. I have a bachelor's degree in animal science and experience as a veterinary assistant, so I’m comfortable caring for pets with different needs, personalities, and medical routines.
