“Going away is much easier knowing Khrys will take care of our three cats and stop by as many times as we like. I never book a flight until I know she is available. She’s that good.”

“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: I have been caring for pets since I was a child! I will only take on 1 or 2 pets at a time, so that I can provide the best care for your pet! Free in the mornings / late afternoons during the week, available all weekends. Summers are completely free/open during the week and weekend. I can adjust as needed Fenced yard at my apartment! I will create a safe and comfortable space for them in your home or mine. Any food needs will be given accordingly. Affection and attention will be given of course!
About: I bring years of hands-on experience in pet care, including time as a veterinary assistant and my ongoing work with the Town of Hempstead Animal Shelter as both a rescuer and foster. I’ve cared for pets of all kinds — from dogs and cats to birds and exotics — and I’m comfortable with animals who need extra patience, whether it’s shy rescues, energetic puppies, or seniors needing gentle support. What sets me apart is my ability to combine professional training with compassionate care. I’m skilled at reading animal behavior, keeping pets safe, and making them feel at ease in new situations. Whether your pet needs medication, structured playtime, or just some extra cuddles, I treat every animal as if they were my own. Pet care is a natural part of my daily life — I’ve built my schedule around it. Between my own pets, fostering, and volunteering with the Town of Hempstead Animal Shelter, I’m used to giving animals consistent attention, exercise, and enrichment every day. Whether it’s early morning walks, midday drop-ins, or evening feedings and cuddle time, I’m flexible and happy to adjust to your pet’s routine so they feel safe and comfortable while you’re away. Your pet’s safety and comfort are always my top priorities. In your home, I follow your routines closely — from feeding schedules to favorite walking routes — so your pet feels secure and stress-free. I take the time to learn their cues and make sure they always have fresh water, exercise, and plenty of love. If caring for pets in my home, I create a safe, supervised environment where they get attention, enrichment, and space to relax. Because of my background as a vet assistant, foster, and rescue worker, I’m experienced in monitoring health, administering medications, and keeping pets calm in new situations. Above all, I value trust — I treat your pets and your home with the same respect and care I’d want for my own.
“Sam is incredibly empathetic person! She took such a great care of our girl and we would highly recommend her to anyone. Looking forward to invite her again when we will be traveling.”

About: Veterinary student with experience in exotics, wildlife, GP, urgent care, animal behavior, and research. I’ve been in the veterinary industry for about 6 years now and I’m very excited to help with you with all your fur baby’s needs!! I should be available to help out all week. Please try to book a day in advance so that I can accommodate your needs for both you and your pet <3 When it comes to your pet and their special needs I’m a second year graduate veterinary student. I’ve worked with doctors and a lot of professionals in the field. To ensure your pet’s safety please let me know about any dietary restrictions, allergies, or medications your pet is on. I think it’s important to foster trust in pets especially when they meet someone for the first time. That can either be through play or quality time before our first walk together.
“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.”
“Amanda was great! We wanted the dogs to get exercise and be tired and she did just that: played fetch the whole time! She has an Aussie herself so we had no doubts she knew what she was doing. Will definitely book again!”

About: I have 8 years of pet care experience and have always loved animals. I have my own dog who is 10 years old, so I know how to care for dogs and make them feel safe and loved. I have dog walked, watched dogs at other people’s houses, and also watched dogs at my own house. I can help with feeding, walks, playtime, and giving pets lots of attention while their owners are away. My schedule is flexible, and I am available during the week and on weekends. I can help with dog walking, drop-in visits, dog sitting, and overnight care. I am also open to a regular schedule or helping when you need occasional pet care. I always make sure pets feel safe, happy, and cared for. I follow the owner’s instructions closely, including feeding, walks, playtime, and any special needs. I have my own dog, so I understand how important it is to trust the person caring for your pet. I will treat your pet with love and care like they are my own.
“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. ❤️”

About: Hello! I’m Allyson, and I have taken care of dogs of every kind for several years. This includes home visits, playing with your dog, as well as bathing, and feeding. I have experience with both larger and smaller dogs. I am a teacher, I am up very early to check on your dog if need be, or in the afternoon through evening for some undivided attention for your pet. I am comfortable with pet parents using security systems/cameras to watch me lovingly care for their fur babies. Please tell me what will make your pet most comfortable during my time with them!
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!
“Alizon is an amazing person! She took care of my cat over the weekend and they became very good friends! She also watered my Christmas tree and brought in my mailboxes, and could not be thankful enough for that! Alizon sent me multiple pictures of my cat, it was so sweet to see him from far away.”
“Linda was great with our dogs. She sent us photos of them and gave us an update on her visit. Upon meeting her, our dogs were instantly in love. We feel worry-free knowing she is going to tend to them when we are away.”


About: I am a (pet) mom to our large cat, Baxter and larger lab mix, Jack! Jack is full of energy and love which allows me to tackle any mood your pup may be in! Baxter loves being the center of attention and he certainly gets all the love and play time that allows. I am more than happy to get to know your pets and care for them as if they were my own! I am currently a contract working allowing me to have flexibility in my schedule. I usually have availability before 9am, a couple hours for lunch and after 7pm! I have experience with dog crates, harnesses, different collars and gates if those are options for your pup. I have dealt with soft and hard food as well as different supplements.
“Lisa did an amazing job looking after our precious kitty. My cat Sophie is a shy one but she made fast friends with Lisa right away. Lisa went above and beyond to make sure Sophie had everything she needs to be happy and comfortable. She sent me lots of updates and pictures which I appreciated very much. Communication was great. Already booked Lisa again!”

Khrys was truly the perfect cat sitter! I booked her to give my cat oral medications - not only was she able to start a booking on very short notice, but she was extremely competent, friendly, and a great communicator. I couldn’t have asked for anything better!

Stephanie once again cared for my four cats -- this time for 10 days. She is so great to work with. Responsive and responsible. She sent pictures daily, spent time giving my curmudgeonly kitties love and play time, and ultimately allowed me to enjoy my vacation without a single worry. She is just a wonderful.
Katelyn is one of the best pet sitters in Rover! She’s consistent and reliable. She gives me daily updates of my babies and pictures, their litterboxes get cleaned and food/water refilled. She goes above and beyond and takes out the litter/trash. I’m confident that my babies are cared for whenever I go on vacation. Highly recommended!

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!!
