“We love Jayda and will definitely be using her again! She was so great with our girl, took her on walks and sent us lots of pics through out the visit- which made us feel so comfortable! Absolutely recommend!”


“Rachel is wonderful :) My two rescues can be quite reactive and skittish to just about any change in lifestyle. She's more than willing to jump right in & find what works for everyone. I will be using her as a regular sitter from here on out!”


About: Im based out of Bethpage and available to help you gain some free time to travel or ease of mind during the day. Whether you have a small parrot , a small to medium pup, cat or quirky guinea pig who needs fresh veggies - I'm ready! Let's give you back some free time while making sure your pets are cared for. I cant wait to meet your fur baby. I have a flexible schedule to fit you and your fur babies in between 6am and 3 pm Monday to Friday. Weekends hours are extra. When caring for pets in my clients home , I treat your space with the same care and attention I give my own. For small to medium dogs , cats and guinea pigs I offer drop in visits where I provide feeding, fresh water and playtime /attention. Will attend to any messes/accidents and am happy to refresh bedding/clean guinea pig cages as needed. For small parrots I can accommodate boarding in my already parrot safe home as I currently have 2 quaker parrots of my own provided they arrive in their own secure travel safe cage. Whether your home or mine, I strive to create a clean, safe and loving atmosphere so your pet feels secure and you feel at peace.

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.

“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: I've had exposure to dogs big and small since I was a kid. My wife likes to say that dogs gravitate towards me, but in actuality I'm the one that can't resist showering them in affection! To this day when I visit friends I will say hi to the dog first! Every pup is a cherished member of the family and deserves to be treated with utmost respect and love. I've had the privilege of training, grooming, and playing with dogs for decades. Choose me for your pet care needs so that I can make more furbaby friends! I work remotely full-time so I have the flexibility to go for walks in the early morning, mid-afternoon, and evenings. Weekends are completely open for pet care of all kinds. I can walk, feed, and crate your pets in your home. I take all pet's needs (and owner's requests) into consideration such as how food is prepared and what stimuli to avoid to keep pets happy.

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!

About: As a kid, I grew up with a Boxer named Mimi, and fell in love with dogs of all breeds and sizes. As I work towards my goals to raise two great boys and become a children’s book creator, joining Rover is a way I reconnect with a past love. I’ve been with Rover for a little over a year and have been enjoying every walk. I am fully attentive as I walk or jog through your neighborhood--avoiding yard treatments and anything that can be ingested is of utmost importance to me. I would ensure your pet’s face, paws, and anything else that’s needed are wiped after our adventure and refresh his/her water bowl. And yes, I love taking pictures and sharing my experience with your loved one. I also continue to use and learn principles from my time with dogs, other pet parents, and materials by Cesar Milan and Brandon McMillan, to improve my ability to help care for your pet. I look forward to meeting and working with you on your pet-parent journey! I am currently a homemaker with two young children. I would be available when the kids are in school: 9:30am - 3:00pm. I am open to other hours, just send me a message. I do not have pets currently. I would take care of your pets and property as if they were my own. We would essentially be neighbors and I believe in teaming up to create a great community for our families.

“Rachel is the best! She is super friendly and responsible. She not only took care of my cat Mimi very well, and also helped with troubleshoot my pet camera, and watering plants. It’s really appreciated.”


“Kate F was more than accommodating! She gained the love of our pup instantly and she really listened to what we feel we wanted our dog to have! I was nervous about leaving for the day and she gave us peace of mind and was trustworthy and loving! 10/10 recommend”


About: I’ve been raising, helping to raise, and training animals since I was 10 years old! Dozens of horses, dozens of dogs, 6 birds, and 2 cats later, I dare say I enjoy the company of animals more than people. I worked for a company called PupStrut in Manhattan when I was attending college for all 3 years at that school. I provided training and a full hour walk for 3-5 dogs/day roughly 3 days/week. (Sometimes more, sometimes less depending on the client) I’m freelancing and cleaning houses part time currently. I am helping care for my in-laws animals as well. I’d love to help a few other families care for their furry babies! I need a meet and greet with the owner to learn about the ins and outs of a pet’s space, their dietary needs, health issues, personality quirks, and what training needs they may require. I’m a quick learner and I’m organized to a flaw.

“Mackenzie was really great! Prioritized my cat and tried to play with her even though my cat is a little shy. She was also very responsive to questions and flexible to any last minute changes!”


About: I’ve been caring for dogs for about 5 years and I love it everyday. I have a 6 year old dog named Libby and she is the best I’m currently working part time so I have most of the day after school. I love cardio and dogs so what’s more to ask for Only walking. Walking is good for the heart and everything about the body so dog walking is awesome. I promise your dogs safety is my number 1

About: Veterinary student with experience in exotics, wildlife, GP, urgent care, animal behavior, and research.

That can either be through play or quality time before walks.

“I’ve known Alyssa for over 10 years, and in that time I’ve seen her care for animals with unmatched dedication and compassion.

Suzanne M.
“When my dog Charlie was around 2 months old, Susan volunteered to watch him. Charlie stayed with her and her family for one week. During that time she welcomed Charlie into her home and made him feel comfortable. She bathed him, fed him, took him on walks. She also let Charlie play with her young sons. While I was away Suzanne made sure to update me by sending pictures and kept me informed on how Charlie was doing. Thanks to Suzanne’s help I was able to enjoy my vacation knowing that Charlie was in good hands. It is wonderful to be able to call Suzanne my neighbor and know that she is there for me.”
