About: What sets me apart from other sitters is my hands-on experience raising and training a puppy, giving me patience and expertise in leash manners, socialization, and potty training. I tailor each walk to a dog’s needs, whether they need high-energy play, gentle strolls, or extra reassurance. My background in caregiving makes me reliable, attentive, and dedicated to ensuring every pup feels safe, happy, and loved. Additionally, I have experience handling anxious or shy dogs, making me a great choice for pets that need extra patience and understanding. Every walk with me is fun, engaging, and full of tail wags! I have a flexible schedule and can accommodate morning, afternoon, and evening walks or visits. I’m available throughout the week and on weekends, with some advance notice. I balance my own puppy’s routine with pet care, ensuring I have dedicated time to focus on each pet I care for. Let me know what works best for you, and I’ll do my best to accommodate! I provide a safe, pet-friendly environment in my home where every furry guest gets personalized attention and care. My home is set up for comfort, with designated spaces for play, rest, and meals. Since I have a puppy, I ensure all pets are properly introduced, and I tailor care to each pet’s needs—whether that’s playtime, quiet relaxation, or extra supervision. I follow feeding and care routines closely, keeping owners updated so they feel at ease. My goal is to make every pet feel right at home!
“Samantha was amazing with my puppy Henry! She as patient and kind and kept in contact with me to update me on his status during her drop in visit! I know he’s in good hands with her during his weekly visits”

“Jada was amazing with my sweet kitties. Her caring nature and compassion made me feel at ease while Away on vacation. Her prompt attention to any requests were quickly made with ease. I knew she was a cat whisperer when she sent sweet pictures of my shy kitty on her very first visit to my home. Even during a holiday weekend, Jada was prompt and attentive. I will definitely be booking with Jada for my next vacation. ❤️”

“Jessica is absolutely amazing, great at communicating, and made me feel at ease knowing my fur baby was taken care of while I was away. I would 100% recommend her to others.”

About: I’ve taken care of dogs my whole life and take pride in providing attentive, active care. I’m certified in behavior analysis which comes in handy when reading what a dog needs in that moment and develop new skills. Being a foster dog mom to a beautiful pitty has also depend my experience with working with different personalities and needs. I love incorporating engaging and enriching activities for my pups to support development and mental stimulation. I’m currently working a full time job Monday through Friday 9 to 5 but, I am also available all day Saturday through Sunday. Monday through Friday I can be free to provide evening walks and potty breaks. On weekends I can provide walks, potty breaks and dog sitting. While I do not provide boarding at my home due to having limited space, I am available to do the dog sitting in your home. In my home with my current foster, it has been important with keeping her schedule consistent to help with her anxiety. This means that I play an important role with sticking to the schedule we have set. We also focus on redirecting her anxiety to preferred activities or toys like her bones or even letting her run it off in the back yard. She is very affectionate so I am also used to giving her lots of praise when she is doing things she is supposed to be doing and giving her lots of hugs when she cues for them.
“Lily was excellent. She dropped in additional times to ensure our cat was OK even outside of the times we booked her for. She kept us updated and when we arrived back our little girl was content and well. Thank you lily!”

About: I have experience with puppies (basic training, routines) and senior dogs (gentle care, medications), and I treat every pet like my own while keeping owners updated and worry free. Pet care fits naturally into my routine since I work from home, allowing me to give dogs plenty of attention, supervision, and frequent breaks throughout the day. I also occasionally babysit for a friend nearby, which is easy to balance with pet care and never takes me far from the home. This flexibility lets me maintain consistent routines, playtime, and quality care for every pet. I follow each pet’s usual routine to help them feel comfortable and secure. I provide plenty of supervision, playtime, walks, and affection, along with feeding and any special care needed. I keep the environment safe and calm, respect house rules, and share regular updates so owners always know how their pet is doing. 🐾
“I am so lucky to have gotten Alexandra to pet sit for me! She was able to help me out last second and was incredible at communicating throughout my trip! My 2 cats loved her and I would 100% book again!”

About: We are a family of dog lovers! My husband and I both grew up with dogs, and though we don’t have pets currently, our love of dogs keeps us pet sitting and dog walking around our neighborhood. We have 3 young children who absolutely adore dogs, and love taking responsibility in taking care of them when we are pet sitting. We have a lot of snuggles to give your pups, and lots of walks to take them on, too! I am a stay at home mom so our schedule is pretty flexible! We are up early, and outside often. Any timing should be fine for us to work around. We have a fenced in yard with plenty of space for your fur baby. We can play fetch with your pup, give them lots of snuggles, and plenty of walks!
“Lisa has been dropping in on my bernedoodle puppy and she’s fantastic! She is great with my pup! Very reliable and so friendly and nice! Puppies aren’t easy and Lisa is consistently patient and kind. We are grateful to have her!”


About: I've had dogs my whole life, so caring for them comes as naturally to me as anything. When I got my puppy four years ago, I dedicated myself fully to his training and development, spending every day with him through those early months to make sure he grew into the happy, well-behaved dog he is today. I also have experience with the more challenging side of pet care. My older dog had diabetes, and I spent a great deal of time managing his condition, administering medication daily, and making sure his final years were as comfortable and loving as possible. It taught me a lot about patience, attentiveness, and caring for pets with special medical needs. Beyond my own dogs, I've spent years babysitting, walking, and watching dogs for friends and neighbors. Animals have always been drawn to me, as I have a natural calm with them that puts even shy or anxious pets at ease. While I'm new to Rover, I bring a lifetime of hands-on experience. Whether it's a long walk, a trip to the park, or just cuddling up with their favorite toys, I pour real love into every visit. I understand how much your dog means to you, and I'll treat them like my own every single time. I recently graduated from college and will be starting my Master of Social Work program at NYU in September. I am available all summer and have plenty of time to give your pet the attention they deserve! I'm currently based in Plainview, Long Island, where I'm free and flexible for any and all pet care needs throughout the summer. Come September, I'll be living in New York City, where I'll be available for drop-in visits and walks during the week, and open to extended stays on weekends. Whether you're on Long Island or in the city, I'd love to help care for your pup! Your pet's safety and comfort are always my top priority. I have experience both crating and not crating dogs, so I'm happy to follow whatever routine works best for your pup. If needed, I can crate them safely when stepping out, or leave them with a frozen treat and a favorite toy to keep them calm and comfortable, especially if they experience separation anxiety, as my own dog does! I tailor every visit to the individual dog. Whether your pup needs a long, energetic walk or a short and easy stroll, I'll follow their lead. I'm always attentive on walks, making sure they don't pick up anything harmful off the street, and equally watchful in the home to keep them safe and out of trouble. Most importantly, your dog will never be short on love. I'll give them all the pets, cuddles, and attention they could ever want because I truly love animals!!

About: I have been taking care of dogs for about 4 years. I have a cane corso who’s one. I had a very sweet pitbull that was 7 and I also took care of an English mastiff. I have experience in all age and sizes, training, grooming, and med giving. I am currently in college so I would be be free part time except for the weekend which I’ll be free all day. I love taking my dogs on hikes and walks in my free time and just spending quality time with them I have one sweet cane corso, he is one, who is always energetic so I can handle both hyper and calmer dogs. I have been trained in training dogs so I can help with that if needed.
“Communication with Lisa was very easy. She arrived within the time window and took care of all of the details My very shy cat actually showed his face when she was around, which is good. When I arrived home, everything was neat and clean I will repeat”

“Mary was wonderful. I would recommend her to anyone looking for the perfect pet sitter. Upon meeting her, I knew immediately that my dogs would be well taken care of, and the pictures she sent me while I was away assured me that my dogs were very happy while in her care.”
Farmingdale dog parents share their Rover experiences
Abigail was awesome with our two pups! She went above and beyond our expectations and would absolutely use her again when we need a dog sitter/walker. She was flexible and easy to communicate with and took such great care of our dogs. She updated us daily about them and sent us pictures. Thanks so much again! The pups already miss her!
Elaina has been taking care of Max and Coco 4 days a week for several months now and they both just adore her! I have found Elaina to be loving and attentive with both, even getting Max to take his medicine even though he is a pretty stubborn little man! Elaina has been great about communicating with me after each visit and has been super flexible in terms of our schedule. Simply put, you will not find a better friend and care giver for your pet! Thanks Elaina!!
