House Sitting in Farmingdale

About: As a retired professional, I bring reliability, patience, and a calm presence to every walk. I’ve been a dog owner of two large breeds and one small breed. I have hands-on experience with doodle breeds and their unique personalities. I understand the importance of safety and health. I’ve cared for dogs with medical needs, so I’m comfortable with monitoring, medications, and giving extra attention when needed. Whether your dog loves a brisk walk, a gentle stroll, or some extra cuddles along the way, I treat every pup like family because that’s what they are. As a recently retired police officer, I currently work part-time so my hours are flexible and will have plenty of time for your fur babies. I will treat your home as if it were my own. I will safely walk your dog on leash, and can easily crate your dog, if need be.

“Bryan made our first experience with Rover extraordinary. He took amazing care of our 2 special need hounds; and I can’t thank him enough for the peace of mind we had leaving them for the weekend.”

About: I am a college student with two dogs of my own at home. I am the biggest animal lover and treat all pets as if they were my own! I do not remember a time in my life where I haven't been involved in some way with animals. Whether that has been working on a farm, volunteering at a small animal clinic, showing my pet rabbit, or competing in horse competitions, all pets of many different shapes and sizes have been at the forefront of my life! I am highly active and will happily take your dog on walks, runs, hikes, and beach days if you'd like me too. I am also totally down to play inside and keep your pup company at your home! I am accustomed to giving dogs medication as I have a senior dog myself. I will be sure to send lots of pictures and videos while your away because I know how hard it is to leave our best friends! I can be highly flexible with my schedule. I work part time and therefore can typically make most situations work, just reach out and let me know what works best for you! They will be treated like a king/queen! I am used to an excited dog on a leash. I can be patient and accommodating for slower pups as well. I will follow directions exactly and have no issue with picky and particular dogs.

“Jonathan was great and super communicative throughout the whole trip. Felt our pups were well taken care of!”

About: I've had pets all my life and been incredibly responsible about them since I was small. Dogs, cats, fish, and reptiles 🐶🐈‍⬛️🦎 are all in my pet sitting repetoire from personal experience growing up! Currently I have two dogs, one small shih-tzu 🤍terrier and one large German Shepherd 🐕 that get along great. As you can see in-home boarding at my house will be unavailable because of this. I am open to very quick notice sits as long as they do not conflict with my primary job, which is as a restaurant server in a pizza place! 🍕 I will always feed on time 🥣, take pets out to go safely and on a leash or in a fenced area, administer medicine 💊 properly, as instructed and when needed, and accomodate for any other methods of care your pet is used to in order to make them feel comfortable and build a bond! I'm taking care of them, after all -- they deserve someone they'll get to know! If you need someone reliable, intelligent and passionate about animals then look no further. You've found your pet sitter for life! I'm working part-time as a restaurant server as I mentioned before. My schedule is posted monthly so I will have plenty of time in advance to know whether or not your pet can receive my care! And I have not much else going on otherwise in terms of availability. In your home I would be respectful of all assets and living spaces, as well as supervise the pets to make sure they don't cause trouble. If they do I have open communication at all times and would of course clean up after them as well! I feed and take them out or clean up after them regularly, and of course every animal is different so we will discuss what times every animal is used to and fit them in to the boarding schedule! For walks, feeds, or medication through drop-ins we would discuss a schedule as well, be it weekly, daily, or whatever you need.

About: Hello, I’m Evan, a grad student who has recently completed an MA and I’ve decided to continue my education on a part-time basis. I’m seeking part-time work to help supplement my schedule and since I’ve loved animals for as long as I can remember, this seemed like the perfect fit! I have cared for various dogs, cats and a bird over the years whether it was for friends or family. I’ve raised a cat of my own from a kitten and also care for my roommate’s cat on a full-time basis. I have a relatively large build, so I’m comfortable caring for large dogs as well. Looking forward to working with you soon! I care daily for both mine and my neighbor’s cat. It takes up a set portion of each morning and night and is one of the highlights of my day. I always ensure a safe, clean and secure environment, make sure they’re always properly fed and provided water and make sure their social needs are met. I interact with them as much as possible throughout the day.

“Soshana was great! Very clear in her communication and worked with our dog Chip very well! She is excellent and we will definitely call her again when we need dog and/or house sitting! Highly recommend!”

About: I’ve been a dog lover since I was young. I grew up caring for a King Charles Cavalier Spaniel and a Chocolate Lab, and I currently have a very energetic Cockapoo. I love all dog breeds and personalities! In college, I also cared for a senior German Shepherd when their family was away on vacation. I have a very flexible and non traditional work schedule. I can watch and care for your dog on any of my days off as much and as often as you need. I will follow any instructions exactly to insure your dog is as safe, healthy, and happy as possible. I love going for long walks and making sure they get the exercise they need.

“We couldn't have asked for a better dogsitter! She was incredibly responsible while house sitting and kept us completely at ease with her excellent communication and daily photo updates. Our dogs absolutely adored her, which is truly the highest compliment we can give. We will without a doubt be booking with her again and highly recommend her to anyone looking for a trustworthy, caring sitter! Thanks again Kaining!”

“Super communicative, always sends pics and was the best sitter for our golden retriever pup and was super understanding of the puppy growing pains especially for a demanding breed. Would absolutely have Ami sit Desmond again in the future”

“Alexis was amazing! My cat Precious had no issues and I was glad to receive daily update photos on her status. She was great at handling her food and made sure Precious received adequate attention. Alexis definitely came through for a long week of drop-ins while my partner and I were away. Highly recommend!”

About: Hi! I’ve been dog sitting for about 7 years and have experience with pups as young as 4 months all the way up to senior dogs. I honestly love them all, but puppies are my favorite because of their energy, and I also love a good cuddle with an older dog. I’m comfortable with all breeds and personalities, and I always try to match whatever routine your dog is used to so they feel happy and comfortable while you’re away. Whether that’s walks, trips to the dog park, or just hanging out at home, I’m happy to do it all. I can also administer medication if needed, and I know the cheese trick very well so giving pills is usually quick and stress-free. I recently moved to the area and am currently rebuilding my client base, so I’m very flexible and can often accommodate last-minute bookings. I’m a local college student who is home for the summer, so I have a pretty flexible schedule. Pet care fits easily into my routine, and I plan my days around the pets I’m taking care of. On days I have work, I’m still able to stop by before and after, and on my off days I have even more availability for walks, visits, or overnight care. I always make sure to follow your pet’s routine as closely as possible so they feel comfortable and stress-free. This includes feeding, walks, playtime, and any specific care instructions you provide. I 100% respect the environment I’m in and the boundaries I’m given. I treat your home like it’s my own and always leave it exactly how I found it, with the exception of a toy or two left out from playtime! My goal is to keep your pets happy, comfortable, and well cared for while you’re away.

About: I’ve become the go-to person among my friends for pets that need extra care or have specific routines. I understand how important consistency is, and I’m very mindful of maintaining each dog’s normal schedule. As a dog owner myself, I truly empathize with how it feels to leave your pet in someone else’s care. I prioritize clear, thoughtful communication—keeping you updated and reassured, while also giving you peace of mind to enjoy your time away. I currently work part-time, which gives me a very flexible schedule. I’m available during weekday and weekend afternoons, and I truly enjoy being around dogs. 😊 I’m very mindful and respectful of a dog’s home environment and personal space. I take my time building trust and focus on creating a calm, safe presence so they feel comfortable and secure.

“Amazing kept the dogs going all day!”

About: I grew up with a cat and have always been around animals, so I understand their different personalities and needs. I’ve also cared for puppies and currently have a 70-pound dog, so I’m very comfortable handling larger dogs too. I’m confident, patient, and able to manage pets of all sizes. I work part-time and have a very flexible schedule, which allows me to easily fit pet care into my week. I only do house sitting. I provide attentive and reliable in-home pet care by following each pet’s routine exactly as instructed, including feeding, fresh water, walks, litter box cleaning, and playtime. I take the time to make pets feel comfortable and safe in their own home, and I always respect the client’s space while keeping everything clean and well-maintained.

About: I’ve had dogs my entire life until I lost my last one in 2023 and decided to adopts cats. But there’s nothing like a bond between a dog and a human. I have taken care of family and friends dogs since I was a teenager. I haven’t for a while and I miss doing it I work monday- friday but am home by 5. I am off wednesday mornings as well and on the weekends. So i’d be a great walker! I follow a strict program. Wherever I am needed in the house, I will be there. I will not break the privacy of a client.

About: I have experience dog walking through ........ and Wag, along with growing up with dogs and walking medium-sized dogs in the past. I’m comfortable with dogs of different sizes and energy levels and focused on safe, calm, and reliable walks. I work full-time, so I incorporate pet care into my evenings and weekends. I’m available for weekday evening walks and more flexible on weekends, and I’m also open to short, occasional bookings or drop-ins when needed. I plan my schedule in advance so I can be consistent and reliable for clients. In a client’s home, I follow all instructions closely to keep the pet’s routine consistent and stress-free. I focus on safety, leash control, and making sure dogs feel comfortable during walks or visits. I’m attentive to each dog’s energy level and adjust the pace accordingly, whether that’s a calm walk or a more active outing. I’ve also grown up with a chihuahua and currently spend time with a toy Maltese puppy, so I’m very familiar with small dog behavior and care. I’m comfortable handling different personalities and making sure pets feel safe and well cared for.
