About: 💠 Hello! I offer pet care for when you’re not able to be there. I am available for drop-in visits, pet sitting, pet daycare, and also pet walking (even for cats!). 🚙 I currently provide pet care services for most of the Nassau County area and some parts of Nassau-Queens border. I am also able to travel to Manhattan with added transportation coverage. I am local: Repeat services booked with me receive special accommodations & rates. 🌃 Messages that are sent after hours on Rover may be responded to on the following day. 🔹 I’m experienced with small breeds, or toy breeds, specifically Pomeranians, been around them all my life, including newborns and senior dogs who were raised starting as puppies. 🔹 Experienced with docile cat breeds, in particular Persian, Himalayan, Ragdoll, Maine Coon and other related cat breeds. 🔹 Have experience with Goldfish, Bettas and birds such as Budgies, so knowledgeable about care. 🐾 I’m intuitive and pay attention to picking up the different ways a dog or cat expresses nonverbal communication, they constantly give us cues. About Me: I own a color-point Persian cat who is 7 years old that I enjoy spoiling. I can speak Italian, enjoy gardening, art, sewing, yoga, tennis & pilates. I’m a fan of the original Twilight movie directed by Catherine Hardwicke. 🐾 I’m currently providing pet care for a King Charles Cavalier who has mobility issues and dietary restrictions, but he is such a big mush! I am also caring for a special needs 4 month old kitten who needs to be syringe-fed, given both topical & oral medication on schedule, along with helping her with using a litter box. In addition to assisting with care of a (palm-sized) rescue kitten who is less than one month old needing to be bottle fed every few hours, given antibiotic medication for her eyes and frequent cleaning with wet wipes, due to being too young to know how to use a litter box. I have found it to be extremely rewarding and willing to look after a few more furbabies within my local area. 🔹 I’m trustworthy and reliable, I would always practice good manners. Respectful of privacy when I’m in a client’s home. I make sure that when I’m with your pet, safety is an upmost priority.
“Tanu and her family are amazing! I have an older dog and she treated him so very kindly. I received photos and updates as to how his stay was going. I would highly recommend Tanu and without hesitation use her again.”
“The best sitter to book with! Xiaoying and her family are excellent and truly the sweetest! I had an overnight cat sitting service with them for a 7 nights and they sent me daily photos and videos and made sure to keep me updated! They also brought so many toys, a cat tree, and cat hideaway spots for my cat. My cat Lucki didn’t want to leave he really liked it there and it’s like his second home now😊 will definitely be rebooking with them again and highly recommend them to anyone looking for a pet sitter or boarding service! ❤️”
“Xavier was a very good sitter. He gives us updates everyday. He also sends videos and pictures all the time which we greatly appreciate. We will surely book with him again on our future needs.”
“This was a wonderful experience! Being our first time leaving our dogs, Rocky and Brooklyn with a sitter. Prior to the actual boarding days, Grace suggested a “meet & greet” in order to have the dogs become familiar with her as well as the home environment. This respectful and humane approach to transition Rocky and Brooklyn allowed for them to build a rapport with her. Throughout ALL our interaction, Grace is truly a professional, knowledgeable, and loving dog sitter. During Rocky and Brooklyn’s stay at Grace’s home, we received daily pictures and updates about their well being. She was very interactive and playful with the doggies giving us great peace of mind. Grace’s home but particularly her yard was a little doggie oasis where they could run, jump, and climb. We will Definitely be using your services again!! Thanks Grace.. ❤️Maria, Rocky and Brooklyn”
“My pug Charlie had another wonderful time with Abbie and Peachy. Charlie feels really safe with Abbie even though she is a little anxious and Peachy is a great friend that helps Charlie to stay active and socialized especially in this cold weather. Outstanding hosts!”
“Melissa and family were great with Max. Melissa sent us daily photos and updates about Max. Max spent a total of 6 days and he seemed to do great with them. I felt comfortable leaving Max there and would not hesitate to have Max stay with Melissa again.”
“AMAZING! Took care of my wonderful puppy, even taught him how to stop scratching people for food. Consistently sent photos and if I ever have to board again I know who's my number 1 pick!”

“I felt very comfortable leaving my dog with Shirley for the weekend. He has separation anxiety and she was accommodating towards his needs to ensure he had a stress free stay with her. I appreciate how she was flexible with my drop off and pick up times. Would definitely hire her again!”
“If you want your pup to feel like they're at a home away from home - book with Tina. She and her family (two young children who will entertain your dog endlessly) will provide a loving environment with lots of play and attention. I boarded my 7 year old pit mix for several days and he felt right at home immediately. Tina was great sharing photos and videos of Lincoln playing in the fenced in back and taking lots of walks (I think he thought twice about coming back home :)). So happy I found her.”
“Gracie is an above and beyond host and human being. She is super responsive, empathetic and an amazing problem solver. She sends frequent updates and makes you feel like your pets are with a trusted family member. Gracie has the warmth and devotion of a grandmother!! I felt assured by her level headed thinking and proactive steps to make sure my dogs were comfortable and loved. She truly is s world class host. I reccomend her to anyone!!! We were sent photos, videos and health updates. She also provided healthy and organic solutions for my one of my dogs that was alittle constipated.”
“Victoria was a wonderful dog sitter! We were nervous boarding our dog for 10 days, but Victoria was so great with our dog, sending regular updates and even hand feeding him when he was nervous. Thank you for taking such great care of our pup!”
“Karina took great care of our fur baby during our vacation. We received pictures and updates multiple times a day. Karina is highly recommended and we’ll definitely book her again!”
“Lu took care of Choco for 4 days and he was very accommodating with drop off and pick up times. He sent photos and videos daily. He was responsive through texts and always replied promptly. Choco had a great time and will be booking again soon! Thank you.”
“I'm really happy with the way Vanessa took care of Blaze while I was away, and he especially enjoyed being there and playing with her dog Storm. She kept me updated on his daily activities and was an excellent care giver. Will absolutely book again with Vanessa!”
“Britany is great! She sent picture updates and let us know how Goose was doing while we were away. She cared about learning his routine and any concerns we had. Our dog came back exhausted (in the best way). Definitely will book with her again, could not have had a better experience!”
“We’ve booked with Erica multiple times. She and her family are always amazing with Maverick. She takes great care of him and keeps us updated, which gives us so much peace of mind. 100/10 would recommend!!”
Garden City South dog parents share their Rover experiences
We had a wonderful first stay boarding our senior dog with Von Marie! We did a meet and greet at a nearby park and she took a long of time and attention to really know our dog's preferences and schedule. She sent us frequent updates and photos. Our pup had some tummy upset while at her house but she was communicative and put us at ease while we were away. We will be using her again later this summer and know our pup is in caring hands!
Another great vacation for Frodo with Britany - she’s the best! She sent daily photos and videos without me even having to ask, and I never worried about Frodo during his stay. He looked like he was having the best time, and I honestly don’t think he wanted to leave when we picked him up! We can’t wait for Frodo to stay with her again in the future.
Kara was an absolute joy to work with. From the initial meet-and-greet to the thoughtful pictures and updates she sent throughout the stay, she made the entire experience stress-free and reassuring. Knowing my pet was safe and well cared for gave me complete peace of mind. She was definitely the right choice, and I will certainly book with her again!
Joanna did an excellent job taking care of my dog, and I would absolutely recommend her to anyone looking for a reliable sitter. She was very communicative throughout the entire process, always keeping me updated and making me feel comfortable while I was away. Her availability and flexibility were also greatly appreciated and made scheduling very easy. On top of that, everything was kept clean and organized, and it was clear that she genuinely cared about providing a safe and comfortable environment. Thank you again, Joanna, for taking such great care of my little guy!
An excellent experience. I was comfortable on vacation knowing my baby was in great hands. I got a picture of my Stormi☔️ everyday. She looked happy romping around the huge backyard. When I went to pick her up she wanted to stay. That’s the best sign of a great time.
Once again, I was worry and stress free leaving Lucas in the care of Caitlyn and family. They are so kind and caring with Lucas. He is particular and has specific needs which they are able to accommodate. I received updates, pics and stayed informed of his care during our time away. Thank you so much for taking excellent care of my furbaby :)
I had a great experience with Tina! She took the time to meet Summer on short notice before taking care of her. She sent pictures and updates twice a day and I could tell Summer had a great time. She also has a fenced backyard where Summer enjoyed playing fetch and getting her zoomies out. I would highly recommend her to anyone looking for a dog sitter.
Caitlin and Erick are two lovely young people that have a great responsibility ethic and feel for animals. This was the first dog sit experience for my Havanese puppy Sandy while we delivered our son to college. Caitlin and Erick understood her special anxiety, were able to deal with her emotions and made her feel comfortable so we could do what we needed to do. I expect to book further dog sits with this nice couple and thank them for making Sandy’s first dog sit a good one.
Our three dogs loved their stay with this lovely family! We got pictures, videos, and regular updates. The videos showed us how much fun our dogs were having, they loved running around the backyard and even our very shy dog made good friends! We felt assured that our dogs were well cared for while we were away on vacation, and we were able to relax and enjoy ourselves knowing they were safe and happy. We will book again with Sonia and her family the next time we are away, for sure!
