About: I’ve taken care of many dogs and a few cats over the years. I am available to stay over night if needed, I have taken care of senior dogs that need health support, i have also taken care of puppies as young as 5 months old. I also have experience giving oral medicine to dogs. My availability is Monday mornings to late Thursday nights. I can stay all day or all night if needed for the pet. I unfortunately can’t do weekends. I am able to take care of cats and dogs, old or young, and give oral medicine if needed. I will need written instructions on what time the dog/cat needs to be fed, walked, times for giving medicine if needed, and if there are any diet restrictions.
About: I have pet sit for friends and neighbors for a long time now, including dogs and cats. I grew up with almost any type of animal you can imagine, from little reptiles, to horses, with many in between. I currently have a dog, 2 cats, a few fish, and many chickens. Pet care fits very naturally into my daily and weekly routine because I currently have a very flexible schedule and plenty of free time to dedicate to pets. This allows me to give pets consistent attention, regular walks, playtime, feeding, and companionship throughout the day. I’m able to adjust my schedule around each pet’s specific needs and routine to make sure they feel comfortable and well cared for. I provide loving, attentive care for pets in both my home and my client’s home. I make sure pets are fed on their normal schedule, always have fresh water, get plenty of exercise and playtime, and receive lots of attention and affection. I can follow any specific instructions regarding routines, medications, training, or special needs.

About: I can’t wait to meet your pet! I am a vet student at Long Island University home for the summer looking for pet sitting opportunities. I have 5 years experience in a vet/ kennel setting. Given this, I am comfortable with pets of all needs. Currently working part time but I can be flexible and work around when you need me. I love to be active or just chill on the couch, whatever fits best with your pets typical lifestyle. I have many years of professional experience dealing with a wide range of pets. Pet safety is my number one priority. My first step as your pets new sitter will be to develop a safety plan so that you can have piece of mind.
About: I am recently relocating to Avon, NY and am excited to take your pupper for a walk around town and get to know the area! Happy to do a home visit and play with fur babies of all ages! I work swing schedule caring for my grandma so I will have plenty of time to come help get some energy out or provide cuddles and ear scratches. I promise to treat your baby just as if it were my own! We have a cat and a dog and yes they sleep in the bed lol
About: I’ve been caring for cats and dogs for friends and family for over 10 years, and I absolutely love giving pets unforgettable experiences while you’re away. I’ll treat your pet like they’re my own, ensuring they feel loved and well cared for. I am very active and love taking walks with all dogs. After losing my own dog years ago, pet sitting has become a meaningful way to fill that void and share the love I have for animals. I’m currently working full-time in a school from 8-3pm. During the week I am available after 3pm for drop in visits and/or walks. On weekends I am available for drop ins and/or walks morning, afternoon and evenings. During the summer I am a nanny, however have a flexible schedule to let pets out throughout the day! I live in a safe apartment complex with a fenced in area for dogs and well as several walking trails to take your pets on long walks.
About: What sets me apart from other sitters is my patience, reliability, and genuine love for animals. I provide personalized care for every pet, including puppy training reinforcement, senior pet support, medication administration, exercise, playtime, and consistent communication with owners through updates and photos. Pet care is already a big part of my daily routine because I work full time with dogs and have over four years of hands-on experience. Caring for animals comes naturally to me, and I’m comfortable managing feeding schedules, walks, playtime, training reinforcement, and providing attentive, reliable care every day. When caring for pets in my client’s home, I focus on keeping their routine as normal and stress-free as possible. I provide feeding, walks, playtime, potty breaks, medication if needed, and plenty of attention and companionship. I also make sure pets feel safe and comfortable while keeping owners updated with regular photos and messages. My experience working full time with dogs for over four years has helped me become confident with pets of all sizes, ages, and temperaments.
“Skylar lets my dog out at lunchtime 3 days a week and he enjoys her visits. She was helpful when a bandage came off a minor injury that my dog had. Overall she has been reliable and responsive.”

“HUGE thank you to MacKenzie for doing this one-off semi last-minute visit with my pups and her continued patience with my one dog who is a little more nervous and difficult. She is a blessing and I will always be grateful for her love and care she gives my pups while I am away.”

“Hannah was great with our two dogs. It was clear from the beginning that she truly loved our dogs, and she was very responsible and conscientious. Highly recommend Hannah.”


“Katie was absolutely phenomenal. This was our first experience with Rover and we couldn't be more pleased. She displayed an expert level of knowledge when it came to caring for my senior dog who tends to have separation anxiety. I applaud her for her level of patience and compassion. Highly recommend booking Katie!”

“Matty worked out great for our cats. He was very friendly and took care of the things I asked. I went on vacation with a great piece of mind. Would definitely recommend, and hope to use Matty again in the future.”

“Kate took great care of my diabetic cat while I was out of town for Thanksgiving. She was very reliable, and he really liked her! He needs insulin shots twice a day and those went really smoothly. I am so grateful that he was happy and well cared for while I was gone. I would definitely book with her again in the future!”

“Sara has helped us twice now and she is SOOOOOOOO good with our dogs! She comes on time, is very reliable and spends quality time with them, walking, exercising and of course caring for them! They really love to see her each day and we couldn’t be happier with her services. Thanks so much Sara! Liz K”

“Sharon was punctual, friendly, professional and had excellent communication. Our older dog's medicinal routine can be confusing and she did great. We came home to happy pups and a spotless house. We will definitely be booking Sharon again.”

“I can’t say enough good things about Steph. She does a midday check-in for our 1 yo Australian shepherd a few days a week and he absolutely loves her. He can be a little particular about who he decides is part of the pack and Steph was able to warm him up very quickly, no doubt due to her extensive experience with animals. Steph’s communication is excellent, she’s willing to tailor her service to our dog’s needs and I have total peace of mind leaving our fur baby in her hands because she’s proven to be capable and dependable. She’s even brought one of her dogs and/or kids along sometimes to help us socialize him because I mentioned he struggled with those things. 10/10 would recommend booking Steph.”

About: I grew up with big dogs and I love them! I have walked, fed, bathed, and babysat family and friends pets for the past few years. I love walking outdoors with pets because we can both enjoy the sunshine! I typically would house sit/dog watch for my family and friends whenever I am break for school. I can work any day of the week as I am on break from college. I always have my phone on me and will do my best to keep constant communication with you! If you have any questions please reach out to me I would prefer to care for your pet in your home as my dog is not friendly with others. I will make sure your pup gets plenty of exercise either by going on walks or playing together in the yard. I will feed them and make sure they are happy!
“If I could give Kayligh more then 5 stars I would. She did drop in visits for 2 full weeks for my 2 cats, and she did an excellent job. She is kind, courteous, and caring. She communicated with me each day about her visit with them, and sent many pictures which is so appreciated! My one cat is very shy and he actually came out and played/spent time with her, which is something he doesn’t even do with my family members. I can’t thank Kayligh enough for what a wonderful job she did. I will definitely work with her again and would recommend her to anyone.”

About: Hello! I grew up on a farm where we had plenty of dogs and cats and your basic farm animals. I have trained and taken care of all different types of breeds. I have had English bulldogs to labs to Dobermans. I have gone to dog training classes and have experience with puppies and older dogs. My senior English bulldog passed away and I am not in a position to have a puppy full time. So I would love some animals around the house to keep my company! The days I’m available are when I’m off work and spend most my time at home on these days. Therefore I can fully take care of them, play with them and train if needed. Well in my home I have a fenced in back yard, but I would still watch and hang out with them if that’s where they wanted to be. I would take the animals on walks as directed by the owner. I live in a very safe area with families and it’s a fun neighborhood to walk around in. At both the owners and my home I would make sure the dogs always have water unless otherwise directed- this is very important especially in hot climates like CA.
About: I have taken care of dogs since I was 13 years old. I started with walking a neighbors dog and now I have done over nights and short term stays. I have worked with both small dogs, big dogs, young and old dogs. I have experience giving medicine and staying over. I have another job but I am able to check in frequently I am also available to stay over if that is preferred. I have a car so if comfortable we can go to parks and go on the trails! I can do overnights or I can do check ins. I have a bit of a green thumb so I can also care for any plants! I of course will be respectful of your home clean up after the animals and myself.
“Hollis was an absolute angel for my little man Peter. He kept him company, followed my directions, showed kindness and compassion. He even did my dishes and room out the trash which wasn’t part of the job! We had one miscommunication which he cleared up and made up for. I would hire Hollis again and recommend him.”
