“Kristina is a reliable, thoughtful person. She was awesome with my two dogs and cat. My pets were comfortable in all the pictures she sent me during the two days she spent with them. She truly loves animals… I would definitely have her stay at my house again.”
“Trevor took great care of Romeo and our home for us, and we would highly recommend him in the future. He gave us daily pictures and updates to keep us informed. Romeo got lots of exercise, and seems to miss Trevor now that he’s not here! We would love to use Trevor again, knowing Romeo would be in great hands.”
“Rumba was so happy and well cared for! Finding a good sitter has been difficult and am so happy I finally found one! Great communication and received pictures of Rumba! Rumba has severe separation anxiety but did not seem to have any issues while I was away overnight! 10/10 will be booking again! Thank you!”
“Absolutely incredible. I needed a sitter for my pup last minute and Jess went out of her way above and beyond to squeeze in a meet and greet as well as watching my furbaby. Super sweet, punctual, great communication and absolutely love and care for my furbaby. Highly recommend and would definitely rebook with when needed.”

About: Hi there! I’m Bryan, new here, but a lifelong animal lover and proud pet parent to my 7 year old rescue pitbull-terrier mix. I have always had a natural bond with animals of all types. I’m especially experienced with skittish or shy rescue dogs. Love cats as well! Offering walks, drop ins, and sittings in LI. Preferably only overnight sittings in NYC due to distance, LI sittings are fine for me to go back and forth to. For walks & drop in’s, I’m in Nassau county so wherever I can get quickly is best. Mostly available on weekdays but potentially some weekends. I can’t offer sittings at my home due to my dog, but more than happy to sit at yours. I love clear instructions on how to care for your pet so I can be sure to follow them for the pets diet, routine, and needs. Safety is a top priority, I’d be sure to keep any doors or gates closed and always be on the look out for any hazards. I would treat your home and pet the way I would mine. Glad to send regular updates or photos of your pet for your comfort. My goal is to take proper care of them!
About: I've had a dog since I was 9 years old, and now help care for him in his senior doggy years! I've helped to dog-sit and cat-sit for friends over the years and am excited to help our your best bud! I work part-time, so my schedule is very flexible for me to check up on your furry friends or take them for their daily walks! My schedule varies, so some days I am available all day while other days I am only available after 2PM. I am very observant both in and out of the home, and will keep a close eye on your furry friend whether it be in the house or on a walk.
About: I have been taking care of pets since I was a teenager, having family pets growing up and also including watching neighbors’ dogs as well as friends and family members pets over the years. Animals have always warmed up to me immediately, even when described as shy or unfriendly. I work full time but my position has me mobile and traveling to different locations around Long Island throughout the day. This allows me to make stops during the midday for walks. I will also be able to pet sit over night and weekends. I care for all pets as if they were my own. Beyond providing walks and feeding your pet they will also receive attention and affection as well. Along with the utmost care to be aware of drivers and other dogs during walks and to secure any property during overnight visits.
“It was such a pleasure having Travis stay at our house and take care of our two pups. At the first meet and greet my dogs were calm and very welcoming. They took to him right away. At the second meet and greet they were so excited and happy to see him. Seeing their reaction and his interaction with them gave me a very safe and comfortable feeling that my dogs and my home would be well taken care of. On the day we left on our trip he arrived on time as planned and he kept in touch with us the whole time. Arriving home after 4 days, my dogs and my house were just as I left them. So happy we found Travis and we will definitely be asking for his help again in the future.”
“Great 👍! I had her for three days, came on time and treated my two big fur babies with love and affection. I hand retriever and a husky, so you know you got the hair all over. She enjoyed being with them and also sent me pictures for the updates. She was a great help and will definitely book for later. Thank you Sabrina 😊”
“Victoria was absolutely wonderful with my girl Hazel! Hazel has epilepsy and needs medication twice a day. Victoria was amazing and I came home to the happiest girl!!! We will definitely be booking again!”
“Charlotte was absolutely wonderful! She loved on our three dogs and kept us updated while we were away! I was put at ease by the updates and pictures sent! Such a sweet kind soul - we look forward to using her again!”
About: I’ve taken care of animals my whole life! When I was 10 I had a puppy and have volunteered at animal shelters throughout high school. I can assure you I will take great care of your animals with all the love in my heart. I’m currently free in the mornings and afternoons, weekdays and weekends! I’m available Monday after 3pm and Tuesday-Sunday I’m pretty available! Will be available after 6pm from July 7th-12th. Will be going on vacation from July 25th-27th and August 2nd-6th! I’m definitely a fan of walks and playtime! I’ll make sure the clients house is clean before they return and that their pet has a blast!
“Matt took phenomenal care of our two pups while we were away. He was extremely communicative and got them both tons of exercise and play. I would highly recommend Matt to anyone looking for the best care for their pets!!”
About: I have extensive experience caring for pets of all ages, temperaments, and needs, including puppies, energetic young dogs, and senior pets requiring extra patience and attention. My background includes administering medications, reinforcing positive training, and maintaining consistent routines to keep pets comfortable and secure. I prioritize clear communication with owners, sending regular updates and photos so you can feel confident while you’re away. What sets me apart is my ability to quickly build trust with animals, even those who are shy or anxious, through calm, consistent, and compassionate care. Your pet’s safety, happiness, and well-being are always my top priority. Pet care is a natural part of my daily and weekly routine. I plan my days around the needs of the pets I’m caring for, ensuring they get timely meals, exercise, play, and attention. I’m flexible with mornings, afternoons, and evenings, and can adjust my schedule to match your pet’s usual routine. Whether it’s daily drop-ins, extended stays, or last-minute requests, I make pet care a consistent priority so your pets always feel safe, comfortable, and well-cared for. Whether I’m caring for pets in my home or in yours, I focus on creating a safe, comfortable, and stress-free environment. In my home, pets have access to cozy resting spots, safe play areas, and plenty of supervision. I follow your pet’s feeding schedule, exercise routine, and any special instructions so they feel right at home. When caring for pets in your home, I make sure to maintain their familiar routines and surroundings. I provide fresh food and water, regular potty breaks or litter box cleaning, exercise or playtime, and lots of affection (or respectful space if they prefer). I also keep your home tidy and secure while you’re away. My goal is always to give pets loving, consistent care so they feel happy and safe, no matter where they are.
About: I have a German shepherd who gets treated like royalty; from her cozy bedding for her afternoon naps, to her healthy-quality treats, and even me changing up the route of her walk so she doesn't get bored, are a few things I do for her that keeps her energy and mood up. I have a huge heart and just genuinely care about living things because they have feelings too. Generally, I am a pretty reliable person; I don't have children and Rover Pet Care seems like the perfect position to supplement my schedule with emotional rewards. While caring for pets, I always keep an eye on them at all times (they can get into things that they aren't supposed to sometimes), when walking my dog, I never let her be in control and is trained to walk by my side with obedience. Treats should be given sparingly and after they have listened to a command. Lastly, discipline is important, especially at puppy stages in order for them to know what is right and wrong.
About: I have been helping my friends with their dogs for years and have immense patience for playing with puppies and older dogs. I have house sat for dogs that get up at the crack of dawn and taken my friends' dogs for plenty of late night walks. I have also cleaned up all kinds of pet bathroom mishaps so I'm not afraid to work with dogs that aren't totally house broken I am currently job hunting so I have a lot of free time right now for both daytime drop ins for feeding and walks as well as any necessary overnight stays I make sure to take any dog I'm watching for at least a 10-15 minute walk several times a day I think just letting them out to go to the bathroom and immediately going back in isn't really enough exercise. Some of my friends have a fenced in backyards so after checking that both doors are closed I will sit outside with their dogs while they runs around and throw things for them to play with.
About: Hi, I’m Taylor! 🐶🐾 Animals have always held a special place in my heart — I’m a lifelong pet lover and experienced caregiver with a deep understanding of how important our furry family members truly are. I’ve spent years caring for pets of all kinds, from energetic puppies to older dogs who need a little extra TLC. Whether I’m going on long walks, playing fetch in the yard, or just relaxing with a pup who loves a good belly rub, I genuinely enjoy every moment spent with animals. I believe pets thrive with love, consistency, and a calm, patient approach — and that’s exactly what I bring to every visit. Your pet’s safety, happiness, and routine are my top priorities. I’m reliable, communicative, and treat every pet like they’re my own. Whether you’re heading out for a day or a longer trip, you can count on me to provide attentive, loving care and regular updates so you feel at ease. I’d love to get to know you and your pet — let’s set up a meet and greet! I am currently not working and home raising my 2.5 year old son and my 1.5 year old pup! My son is in activities throughout the week but they don’t take up too much time. I would only be gone for about 2 hours a day MAX! I have a 6 foot fenced in yard with a large leveled patio and grass for your furbaby to enjoy sunbathing, playing in the snow, running and playing. I currently have a 1.5 year old female puppy named Roxy! She is an ANGEL!! She gets along with every dog. She is about 35 pounds, fully grown. I also have a 2.5 year old son who calls Roxy his “sissy”. He, like his mother is a huge animal (of all kinds) lover. I do have a small crate and an extra large crate from my previous dogs. The small crate can hold up to about a 20 pound dog where the large crate can hold up to about a 100 pound dog. I am willing to discuss whatever it is that your fur baby needs because I know they are all different and require different things!
“Stacia cared for our 4 pets for 2 nights. She did an excellent job and we would definitely book her again. She was communicative, sent pictures, and followed instructions. We appreciated her professionalism.”

Maximilian N.
“Since Max was young he has loved dogs! As a teenager, he took over taking care of a rescue puppy, got her though worms and training.

What else do we need in life?”

She is truly a dog whisperer!”

Alyssa B.
“I’ve known Alyssa for over 10 years, and in that time I’ve seen her care for animals with unmatched dedication and compassion. As a fellow pet sitter, I’ve trusted her to take on my own clients when I’m unavailable, knowing their pets will be in the best hands. I’ve also seen her with her family dogs over the years and with her own sweet dog, Lucy — she treats them with so much love, patience, and attention. She is attentive, reliable, and truly understands each pet’s individual needs. I wholeheartedly recommend her as a responsible and loving caregiver for any pet. She will go above and beyond to keep your pet and home safe & well looked after.”

Max G.
“I couldn't be happier with the care Max provided for my dog! He took the time to get to know her personality and needs, and he quickly became her new favorite person. Max was incredibly reliable and always kept me updated with photos and messages, which helped put my mind at ease. He took her on great walks and made sure she got plenty of exercise and attention. Max went above and beyond to make sure she was comfortable and happy. I highly recommend him to anyone looking for a trustworthy and caring dog walker or sitter!”
Taylor D.Star Sitter
“Taylor is the biggest and kindest animal lover I’ve ever met. She treats her animals and all animals around her like family. Taylor put me in charge of the dogs on their wedding day, in between the church and the reception. My boyfriend and I went over to let them out, give fresh water, and feed them dinner. After doing everything on the list left for us, Taylor texted to make sure everything went well, which it had. But then she specially made sure I gave the dogs Filtered Water from the refrigerator and not from the sink. I had to quickly run over to the water bowls dump out the sink water I gave them and refill with the cold refrigerator water that they deserved. This story is just to show you how much she loved, and how much she cares. Especially on a day that's suppose to be all about her, and she's literally worried about the dogs having cold filtered water.”
