About: I've cared primarily for dogs for over 25 years, frequently serving as the go-to walker and sitter for friends and family for the past decade. For the past 3 years, I've also cared for rabbits, and I have done drop-ins and overnight stays for multi-cat homes. I'm experienced and comfortable with administering oral medications and topical treatments for cooperative pets. I'm local to Babylon and available for drop-ins and walks nearby. I keep a flexible schedule and can visit at just about any time of day, seven days a week, including mid-day when most dogs need a break. I care for my own rabbit every morning and evening, so pet care is already built into my daily routine. I currently offer drop-in visits and dog walking. I follow each owner's house rules closely, including which rooms pets are allowed in, which pets can be together and which need to stay separate, and any feeding or medication routines. Dogs stay leashed any time we're outside a designated play area, and I check that doors, gates, and enclosures are secure before I leave.
“I am super happy I found Alex. He cared for my two cats, dropping by throughout the weekend while I was away. He sent me lots of great photos of them playing and hanging out, and regular updates as he took care of their needs. Super communicative, even offered to do a couple things I hadn’t thought of. I’m always super nervous to leave my pets with someone, especially someone new, but Alex helped me feel comfortable that they were getting good care.”
About: I’ve taken care of dogs for years now I’ve had two of my own absolutely loved them I’m patient loving and will love your pet as if their own. I lost my oldest dog and had to care for her extra. She was handled with care and pure love. Id protect your pet as I’d protect a child and that’s a promise I work part time job and I’m a single mother and this would be for me to have some extra money. It’ll be fun and exciting They’re cuddled absolutely as much as they’d like and loved all my attention is on them and they’ll be spoiled and my child I have is well behaved and affectionate but knows her limits
“We have an anxiety 2 year old cocker spaniel that truly has the best time with Arian & Lilia. They made our trip so much more comfortable knowing they were okay. I truly and highly recommend them! They came to meet the dogs twice and were so sweet”
“Jen was great, she did a great job taking care of our kitty's! We have a special needs cat, and Jen handled her wonderfully! We would definitely recommend her, and we would definitely have her take care of our cats again! 10/10”
About: I’ve taken care of my calico cutie for almost 10 years, as well as having dogs durring my childhood. Also, I’ve dog sat for a family friend for nearly 4 years. Currently I am working part-time as a barista a few days a week, my availability reflects the days i am off, or what time before/after work i am available so there shouldn’t ever be any time issues! I will treat your animal as my own, but I understand that I’m coming into your space and their space. I will be very courteous of my surroundings & work efficiently with you to create a positive experience.
About: I’ve been around dogs/cats for years and have built experience throughout my years of working at a daycare. They will get all the love and care they need. I work full time but my days usually end by 1 or 2pm. I have a very flexible schedule. I can always tweak my schedule around for your pets needs. I do have a fenced in yard. They can be crated if needed. I will work according to their schedule as best as possible. They will get a lot of attention.
About: I’ve taken care of dogs my whole life and take pride in providing attentive, active care. I’m certified in behavior analysis which comes in handy when reading what a dog needs in that moment and develop new skills. Being a foster dog mom to a beautiful pitty has also depend my experience with working with different personalities and needs. I love incorporating engaging and enriching activities for my pups to support development and mental stimulation. I’m currently working a full time job Monday through Friday 9 to 5 but, I am also available all day Saturday through Sunday. Monday through Friday I can be free to provide evening walks and potty breaks. On weekends I can provide walks, potty breaks and dog sitting. While I do not provide boarding at my home due to having limited space, I am available to do the dog sitting in your home. In my home with my current foster, it has been important with keeping her schedule consistent to help with her anxiety. This means that I play an important role with sticking to the schedule we have set. We also focus on redirecting her anxiety to preferred activities or toys like her bones or even letting her run it off in the back yard. She is very affectionate so I am also used to giving her lots of praise when she is doing things she is supposed to be doing and giving her lots of hugs when she cues for them.
About: I love all pets as if they were my own! I pay attention to detail and love specific instructions to ensure your pet gets the care they deserve! I am currently work as a Latent Print Examiner for the NYPD 7-3 during the week. Meaning I am only available after 5 pm after work and anytime on the weekends to take care of your furry friends!! I may also be available during holidays as well! I ensure that every animal gets all the attention they deserve! From basic needs like feeding and walking to important medical needs to ensuring they get physical and mental enrichment! I treat all animals with as much respect and care as their human companions.
“Trevor took excellent care of our lab Daisy while we were away. He kept us informed and sent pictures of everything they did. It made us feel at ease knowing she was in good hands.”
About: What sets me apart from other sitters is my background in K9 training and management and my genuine passion for working with dogs of all ages and personalities. I’m currently studying at SUNY Cobleskill, so I bring both hands on experience and current training knowledge into my care. I’m especially comfortable with puppies, helping with basics like leash manners, crate training, and building good habits, and I’m also very patient with senior dogs, making sure they stay comfortable and safe. I pay close attention to each dog’s behavior and body language so I can adjust to their needs, whether they’re energetic, shy, or reactive. I’m not just there to watch your dog, I’m there to understand them, support them, and make sure they feel safe and cared for while you’re away. Pet care fits easily into my routine because I’m currently on summer break from SUNY Cobleskill where I study K9 Training and Management, so I have a lot of free time and flexibility in my schedule. This allows me to give pets plenty of attention throughout the day, including walks, playtime, feeding, and check-ins. Since working with dogs is something I’m passionate about and studying for, I enjoy making it part of my daily routine and making sure each pet gets the care, exercise, and attention they need while their owners are away. When caring for pets in your home, I focus on keeping their routine as normal and comfortable as possible. I follow your instructions closely for feeding, walks, medication if needed, and any specific care the pet requires. I also make sure they get plenty of attention, playtime, and exercise depending on their energy level and personality.
About: I grew up with a white retriever named Daisy for 13 years until she passed away this past May. I currently have 2 cats for 7 years at home, and I have 3 guinea pigs with me at school in my apartment. I adore all types of animals and I love giving them hugs and kisses! I will make sure that I will always be on time and keep the house as clean as I left it! I am currently working part time so I am very available! My job is closed Sundays so I can guarantee availability then. I can come as much as you need me to :) I will always have my eye on your pet at all times. I believe that trust between a human and an animal is something that is developed over time, and I will make sure that I will be respectful of your pets boundaries and make sure that stay as safe as possible.

About: A deeply passionate pet sitter-with lots of hands-on medical experience working in a hospital setting for humans, and a lifelong love for animals of all kinds (just no cat boarding, please-I'm allergic!). My daughter and I currently share our home with a bearded dragon and an axolotl, and throughout the years we've lovingly cared for dogs, birds, turtles, tortoises, geckos, and even a friend's water dragon. We've maintained aquariums with blue lobster crayfish, shrimp, and a wide variety of freshwater fish, and I was raised around saltwater tanks thanks to my father's passion for marine life. Together, we've hand-fed cherry red tortoises, cared for koi ponds, and welcome baby birds each season to the seven birdhouses in our backyard-it truly feels like living in an atrium. My daughter competes in horseback riding and has hands-on experience with goats, chickens, llamas, pigs, and even zonkeys. We've hand-fed kangaroos and giraffes, pet penguins, cuddled bunnies and guinea pigs, ridden camels, and even fed alligators. We're fully comfortable with live feeding for reptiles and amphibians-crickets, worms, and more. Dogs are our biggest joy! We offer backyard agility play, trick training, beach days, boat rides, paddle boarding, park play and runs (my daughter is a competitive track athlete). We love dressing pets for fun occasions (always safe and functional), providing custom feeding routines, and yes-even holding special chew treats to make your pup feel spoiled and secure. We're also experienced anglers, and my daughter has worked as a mate on various fishing boats, giving us even more hands-on animal care and outdoor experience. While I can't host cats due to allergies, I'm happy to provide walks or drop-in visits for dogs even in homes with cats. And if you have animals that are a little outside the box-just ask! We have a true passion for wildlife and Iove exploring new animal care opportunities. Hi there! I currently work per diem, so my schedule is very flexible and I’m available most days and weekends. I also offer holidays and last minute get away watching if you are you are ever in a pinch! I offer a safe, calm environment with a fully fenced-in yard and no other dogs—so no scruffles or stress! I also have a large vehicle that can easily transport supplies or pets if needed. Whether it’s a day visit or overnight care in my home, your pets will be in good hands. Feel free to reach out with any questions or to schedule a meet-and-greet!

Olha has been a huge life saver. Our dog has anxiety and is fearful of new people. Olha came 3x to make sure Abbie was comfortable before we went on a vacation . We even see her waving good bye. I can’t not say how truly appreciative we are for her. Anyone that needs a dog walker or sitter please idk olha!
I used Dillan yesterday for my 8 week old golden retriever puppy. I was very hestinant at first as an owner of two other dogs ages 11 & 4 I never used a sitter to help out with my dogs, however Dillan make the process so easy and help ease my nerves about having someone care for my dogs. He answered my messages on a timely manner and even shared pictures and a cute video of my pup Dunkin playing in the yard. I would highly recommend Dillan to care for your pets. He also followed the many rules and expectations that I’ve asked of him I Look forward to using him on a regular basis. Overall 10/10 service.

A Meet & Greet is a short introductory meeting between you, your dog, and a sitter. It can take place in person or virtually, although we recommend in-person so that your pet can get to know your sitter or the new environment. During the Meet & Greet, you will have a chance to walk through your pet's routine, medical needs, and unique quirks. Take the time to ask your sitter questions about their skills and expertise, and make sure the fit feels right for everyone. Most pet parents and sitters on Rover welcome Meet & Greets because the process can give confidence and peace of mind for service experiences, especially for longer stays or first-time bookings.
