“We had such a wonderful experience! Dior felt right at home from the moment she arrived and was so well cared for during her stay. We loved getting updates and could tell she was receiving lots of attention, love, and even some extra treats. Especially because Dior was in heat we were so happy she was comfortable. The thoughtful gift keychain was such a sweet surprise and really showed how much they care about both pets and their owners. We came home to a happy pup and couldn't ask for more. We will definitely be returning and would highly recommend them to anyone looking for someone trustworthy, caring, and attentive to watch their dog!”
“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!”
“Vanessa and her family are absolutely amazing! This was my first experience with Rover. Vanessa will now be my go to sitter. We have a GS; she took care of her as her own. Sent pictures, answered my messages quickly. ❤️”
“Erica was great, super friendly and professional! She sent photos, updates, and helped giving Maverick the medicine he needed. We were gone for 18 days and we could enjoy our trip knowing Maverick was in good hands. Definitely booking her again for our next trip. Complete peace of mind! Thank you Erica & Lilo!!”
“Alissa was great with Chutney. We got regular updates with videos. We had some last minute changes with pick up, Alissa was very flexible and we didn’t have to worry. Would definitely recommend her.”
“Pamela is amazing. She took such good care of Quinn I didn’t worry a second about how he was doing. She sent us so many pictures and videos of him having so much fun. She definitely treats every dog she cares for like her own.”
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.
“I booked Michael last minute for an overnight stay & it was my five-month-old puppy’s first time away from home. Michael was incredibly communicative, answering all my questions and ensuring I felt at ease. I couldn’t be happier with the care he provided for my puppy, Pepper. The regular updates and pictures reassured me that Pepper was comfortable and well cared for. I highly recommend Michael to anyone looking for a reliable and compassionate pet sitter—I will definitely use him again in the future!”
“I am so appreciative for the incredibly wonderful warm care Tanu gave Meli. Tanu and her two terrific sons were attentive, loving, and treated Meli like their own. Tanu made sure Meli got plenty of walks, playtime, and cuddle time. Tanu worked hard to make it seem like Meli was also on vacation! It is such a relief to know someone so responsible and kind was taking care of my dog. I will certainly use Tanu to care for Meli... (more at r.rover.com/hCMSHg )”

“Kierra took excellent care of my old man. She gave him medication and fed him a special diet. I was very happy with her care and felt comfortable leaving my dog with her. Thank you!”
“Victoria is amazing! She made me feel so confident in leaving my dog with her! She is such an animal lover and was so communicative. She made sure Charlie was comfortable and welcomed into her home. She sent pictures and was constantly in touch! Hiring her again for December!”
“I am very happy with the treatment my dog got. She gave him a lot of love and many photos were sent to me. She texted me often to give me update. Lucky seemed happy.”
“An AMAZING sitter. He is quickly becoming family. My dog LEAPS out of the car as soon as he sees him. I feel great going away knowing that my baby is being well taken care of. He is responsive and communicates often.”
“We needed to book a boarding at the last minute, and Janine was able to accommodate. She took great care of my dog and communicated often during his stay with photos and updates. He loved running aroun in her backyard and the companionship that her two dogs offered as well. I would recommend her to any friends and family.”
“Nachay has been readily available and accommodating anytime I need her. She sends photos and communicates frequently. I know Enzo is well taken care of and has a great time in her care!”
“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!”
“Lu boarded our dog and cat for a few days. Everything went great! He and his family are wonderful people and they took excellent care of our pets. We received daily updates with photos, and there was great communication. We are very satisfied with the experience and will call on them again next time we need a sitter. Highly recommend.”
“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.”

Victoria is reliable, trustworthy, attentive, and incredibly kind, this is truly the most wonderful dog sitter I have ever worked with. Knowing my dog was in such capable and loving hands made being away so much easier. I would absolutely book with again and recommend her to anyone looking for the very best care for their furry family member.
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!
Erica did a great job babysitting our two dogs while we were on vacation. She communicated with us every single day, kept us updated with how they were doing, and gave us peace of mind while we were gone. I would absolutely recommend her to anyone looking for a trustworthy person sitter!
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!
We used Nicole and Chris for a very last minute trip and have to say they came through as a blessing! My baby had an amazing time being spoiled by them! They were very responsive from the beginning till end. I received multiple daily updates with pics. He was walked, played with and came home very happy. Would highly recommend them. they both are very compassionate and responsible. Thank you Nicole and Chris for taking such great care of my baby!
