About: I have been a in-home pet sitter for the past six years for a medium size dog who had special needs as a puppy. I also am a pet photographer and have done pet portraits and holiday cards! I recently lost my beloved dog Zoey, who I had for over 12 years. I love dogs deeply, and welcome them into my home. I am available on a part time basis with more availability during the summer months. Weekends are ideal but I can be available after 5pm on weekdays or early morning. I live in a pet friendly apartment building, in a dog friendly neighborhood! My apartment is in the smaller side but dog and cat safe!

I would highly recommend Terri! She looked after our high maintenance Lulu for a week and they truly bonded. Lots of photos and it was obvious that Terri not only loves dogs, but speaks their language. She stayed in the house and it was great to know that she was taking care of everything. If she is available, we would definitely book Terri again.

About: Hi! I’m Mike! I live in Long Beach. I work in the city 3 days a week, but I can choose which days I go in. So, I can be flexible! A little about my background: I was a volunteer dog walker at the Town of Hempstead Animal Shelter in Wantagh, NY for about 3 years. I would routinely walk strong dogs with a lot of energy and was involved in training them to walk better on leash. During the pandemic, while working from home full time, I became my neighbors dog walker for their Husky and 2 Chihuahuas because why not!! I walked them at least twice a day every day for almost 2 years. I don’t have a ton of experience taking care of cats, but I have friends and family that have cats. I’d be more than willing to help take care of your cats as well! I look forward to meeting you and your pets! I work in the city 3 days per week, but I can choose which days those will be. So, I can be flexible. If for whatever reason, you need to cancel, just let me know at least 1-2 days before. Thank you! I provide dog sitting, dog walking, dog boarding, cat sitting, and cat boarding services. Whatever you need and however much you need, I am willing to give! Looking forward to meeting you and your pet!

About: I have extensive experience caring for both cats and dogs, ensuring their safety, comfort, and happiness at all times. What sets me apart from other sitters is my attention to detail, patience, and genuine love for animals. I understand that every pet has its own personality and needs, so I take the time to follow specific routines, dietary requirements, and any special instructions you provide. In addition to general care, I have skills in administering oral medications, handling anxious pets, and reinforcing basic commands for dogs. I’m also experienced in recognizing signs of stress or illness, which allows me to respond quickly if a situation arises. Whether it’s playtime, walks, feeding, or giving attention, I make sure pets feel loved and secure while their owners are away. My goal is to provide the same level of care and affection they would receive from you. Pet care is an important and enjoyable part of my day! I plan my schedule around the pets I’m caring for, making sure they get their walks, meals, and attention right on time. Spending time with animals is something I look forward to, so I always make sure they have the care and love they need every single day. Your pet’s safety and comfort are always my first priority. When I’m in your home, I follow your instructions carefully and make sure everything is secure and pet-friendly. I give your pets plenty of love and attention so they feel happy and stress-free while your away. If I care for them in my home, they’Ll have a clean cozy space with fresh water, a comfortable resting area, a big fenced in backyard, and lots of playtime. I always make sure pets feel safe, loved and well cared for in any environment.

About: I’ve had numerous cats, dogs, birds and a rabbit! I love animals and the unconditional love they give in return. I would love to have the opportunity to take care of your babies while you are gone and give you the piece of mind you are looking for. I’m retired and have plenty of time to play and check on your fur baby! I adore animals and will love yours as much as I love my own! Currently I am offering services in your home only as I have a high energy puppy in mine. If your dog also is high energy and wants/craves stimulation with a like minded pup, I’d be more than happy to see how they get along! My home has a fenced in yard as well as a doggie door, and my dogs go on numerous walks per day.

About: I've taken care of my own pets for years, everything from dogs to various reptiles. Recently I started taking care of others' pets and found out I enjoy it just as much! I'm currently working as an artist so I have a very flexible schedule during the day. I aspire to have my own career in the arts in time, but for now things are slow! I can easily fit in whatever care you need between my projects and galleries. In your home, I'll treat your pets like my own! I'm lively but clean- it'll be like I was never there. I promise to be respectful of your space!

Kristen was incredible! She took care of our home and our boxer, Walter, for a week, and we couldn't have asked for a better experience. She was incredibly attentive to Walter, provided us with consistent updates, and treated our home with the utmost care and respect. We came home to a very happy dog - can’t recommend her enough!

Alex was amazing, He took care of our 9 year old dog for 10 days, stayed at our place for a few days and then he took peanut to his place when he thought she would be comfortable. We found her happy and healthy when we got back home. During the whole time Alex was sending pics and videos and letting us know how the day went, that gave us peace of mind and we were able to enjoy our time away. I highly recommend him and we’ll use his services again, that’s for sure!!

Kelley is absolutely amazing! She came over to spend time with Jed before our scheduled sit more than once. She is extremely communicative and a total dog lover! Kelley is detail oriented and we felt so at ease leaving our dog in her care in our home. Our home was left immaculate and our dog, Jed, has a new girlfriend. I am so pleased to have established this relationship and trust with Kelley and will not hesitate to use her services in the future. Do not give it a second thought, 100% recommend Kelley!

⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️ We couldn’t have asked for a better first Rover experience! Our 7-month-old White Swiss Shepherd, Dahlia, has never been left with anyone before, so we were nervous but Nancy completely put us at ease. She was so kind, sent us lots of photos and updates, and Dolly had the best time playing with her. When we had an emergency and couldn’t get home on time, Nancy even stayed extra without hesitation. She truly went above and beyond, and we’re so grateful. We’ll definitely be using her again!
