Dog Sitting Massapequa

About: Over the years, I've provided in home pet sitting for friends, family, handling everything from feeding and exercise schedules to attentive, overnight care. My experience includes managing households such as long term care for two large dogs and two cats simultaneously, alongside my own dog. I know how to navigate different animal personalities, keep up with high-energy breeds, and ensure every pet feels safe, comfortable, and well loved. Whether hosting pets for boarding or stopping by for house sitting and visits, I treat every pet as if they were my own! I'll be happy to take care of a pet other than a dog or cat as well💕 I have a really flexible setup, I've got plenty of open, dedicated time throughout the week for walks, feeding times, drop-in visits, and overnight care. I keep my calendar organized so your pets always get my full, unhurried attention.. whether that means extra playtime, timely potty breaks, or just hanging out together. I always keep things secure, double checking doors, gates, and keeping food/treats tucked away safely. I take the time to get to know every pet's unique personality, stick right to your routine, and keep a close eye on them during outdoor time and play. Plus, I love sending frequent photo updates so you always know your fur baby is happy and having a great time!

“I cannot thank Stephanie enough for taking care of my sweet pup! It was my first time using Rover and I was nervous, hoping to find the right sitter while I was out of town for a few hours. Stephanie put all of my worries at ease during our meet & greet and I got to see firsthand how sweetly she interacted with my dog. During the week, my pup came down with an ear infection and needed to take antibiotics. I told Stephanie, and she gave my dog the antibiotic with ease. She is trustworthy, dependable, and an all around great sitter.”

About: I absolutely adore animals and have taken care of many, all with different personalities and needs. I am accommodating and patient with all pets. I have taken care of older fragile dogs and active younger dogs. I volunteered at a cat shelter for a couple years as well, so I can understand their body language and care for them regardless. I’ve helped many shy animals socialize and they have warmed up to me. I am a college student with long gaps in my schedule, my college is local so I have plenty of time to stop by! Monday & Wednesday: 11 AM- 1:20 pm; anytime past 3:20 pm Tuesday: anytime before 11:50 AM; anytime past 4:40 pm Thursday: anytime before 11:50 AM; anytime past 6:30 pm Friday, Saturday, Sunday: anytime I will be able to change any water or food bowls, clean up potty mistakes. Let me know if there are specific requirements your pet needs and I will accommodate as well.

“Janhvi was excellent. The experience felt luxurious with the way she operated. Never missed a visit, pics, vids and full report every time. Would definitely use her services again in the future.”

About: I have experience working with senior dogs with special needs as well as younger, higher energy dogs! Each pet has their own unique personality and care needs and I strive to meet each of those to make your pets time away from their family as seamless/normal as possible, with peace of mind for the owner. I’m currently working pet care full time and my availability is everyday! I’m very flexible with times or travel restrictions to make things easiest for the client! If life happens, I do my best to accommodate changes. I don’t offer services in my own home, but at a clients home I follow all of their given instructions! I prefer to do a meet up with the pet and client to establish familiarity with the pet. Clients typically show me around their home and notify me of any details related to their pet or care instructions for the home if needed. If the client allows, I will play with their pets, take them on walks, etc.

About: What sets me apart is the personal care and attention I give to every pet. I don’t believe in a one-size-fits-all approach—I take the time to learn each pet’s personality, routine, and individual needs. I’m dependable, attentive, and experienced with dogs and cats of different ages, personalities, and care requirements. I also believe communication with pet parents is just as important as caring for their pets, so I provide updates and photos to keep you informed and at ease. My goal is for every pet to feel safe, comfortable, loved, and genuinely cared for while you’re away. I care for every pet as an individual, following their normal routine and giving them plenty of attention, exercise, playtime, and affection. I make sure they are fed and cared for according to their owner’s instructions, have fresh water, and receive any medications or special care they need. I also pay close attention to their behavior and comfort so I can recognize if something seems unusual. Most importantly, I want every pet to feel safe, comfortable, and loved while they’re in my care. I keep their families updated so they can feel confident knowing their pets are happy and well cared for. Pet care is a big part of my daily life, both personally and professionally. I run my own pet-sitting and dog-walking business, so caring for animals is something I genuinely love and am committed to every day. My schedule is built around providing walks, drop-in visits, overnight care, feeding, medication, playtime, and plenty of attention to the pets in my care. I enjoy getting to know each pet’s individual personality and routine and making sure they feel safe, comfortable, and loved while their families are away.

“My family and I are so grateful to have connected with Lauren! Having just moved and not knowing anybody in the area to look after our dogs, I was nervous about finding someone to help us out while we were away for a long weekend at the beach. My dogs took to Lauren immediately! She is extremely nice, down to Earth, responsive and reliable. I felt extremely comfortable with her in our home. She sent photos and updates of the pups during her visits as well. Highly recommend and am excited to book her again in the near future!”

About: I had a German shepherd for 11 years who always got treated like royalty; from her cozy bedding for her afternoon naps, to her healthy-quality treats, and even me changing up the route of her walk so she doesn't get bored, are a few things I do for her that keeps her energy and mood up. I have a huge heart and just genuinely care about living things because they have feelings too. Generally, I am a pretty reliable person; I don't have children and Rover Pet Care seems like the perfect position to supplement my schedule with emotional rewards. While caring for pets, I always keep an eye on them at all times (they can get into things that they aren't supposed to sometimes), when walking my dog, I never let her be in control and is trained to walk by my side with obedience. Treats should be given sparingly and after they have listened to a command. Lastly, discipline is important, especially at puppy stages in order for them to know what is right and wrong.

About: I grew up with all kinds of pets…Dogs, cats, birds, fish, turtle, hamster and ferret. As an adult, I took care of my parents and friend’s pets while they were out of town. I can walk, sit, feed, board and administer medicine your pet if needed. Hi! I'm Dawn, a dedicated and experienced pet caregiver passionate about keeping your furry friends happy, healthy, and active. With years of experience caring for dogs, cats and birds. I understand how much your pets mean to you, and I'm committed to providing reliable, loving care. I am a stay at home mom with three children in school. I have a very flexible schedule and look forward to meeting you and your loved ones. I have a fenced in yard and can keep dogs gated in a room if no one is home, unless you provide a crate. Your pet will get a lot of love in my house from me and my three children.

“Rae was professional and friendly! She took great care of my pups. I definitely recommend her!”

About: I’ve taken care of my dog like a child since I was 5 and I love all dogs with my whole heart no matter the size or breed i’m available in the mornings and after I work at 7 I also am free on my off days of work to take care of pets I have a fenced yard and an a pen to put the dogs in. I also have many supplies like food toys and a leash to keep dogs entertained

About: I have volunteered at 3 separate animal shelters for 10 years now and have always had pets in the home. I have 2 cats of my own. I work from home so my day consists of being able to take frequent breaks from my desk to play with my own cats and any other animals I may be caring for. In my home, I have a fenced in yard and two cats of my own who are very sweet and friendly. In a clients home

About: I have experience caring for pets through both professional work and personal ownership. I currently provide dog walking and pet care through Wag!, where I’ve worked with dogs of different ages, sizes, and energy levels, including senior dogs and more active breeds. I’ve also had the opportunity to build trust with repeat clients by providing dependable, compassionate care. As a proud cat mom to two cats, I understand the importance of patience, routine, and recognizing each pet’s unique personality. In addition, I’ve volunteered with a cat rescue, where I cared for cats with a wide range of temperaments, cleaned enclosures, socialized cats, and administered oral and topical medications when needed. I also spent a year working at a family-owned pet store that specialized in dogs, cats, and exotic animals, giving me hands-on experience with daily animal care and pet wellness. My goal is to provide every pet with a safe, loving, and stress-free experience while giving pet parents peace of mind. Pet care fits naturally into my weekly routine because I work remotely, which gives me a flexible schedule and allows me to dedicate quality time to the pets I care for. Since I also drive, I’m able to reliably travel to visits, walks, and drop-ins. I enjoy staying active and spending time with animals, so caring for pets is something I genuinely look forward to each week. Your pet’s safety, comfort, and routine are my top priorities. I believe pets feel happiest in their own home, so I take the time to learn their schedule, feeding routine, exercise needs, and any special instructions before each visit. I always ensure doors, gates, and harnesses are secure, keep a close eye on your pet during walks and playtime, and treat your home with the same care and respect I would my own. I’ll also provide updates and photos so you can have peace of mind knowing your pet is safe, happy, and well cared for while you’re away.

“Seamus watched my two dogs for a week while I was away and I would not hesitate to recommend him or enlist him to watch our pets again. From the moment we met, I felt comfortable -- Seamus clearly loves animals and they love him. I received photos and updates for each visit with my pets every day, twice a day, and he checked in with me several times outside of any requirements. This was my first time using any service to take care of the boys and it worked out so well!”

About: I was raised with pets. Since my childhood, I have had cats and dogs. I have also potty trained, provided basic training (walking on leash, not pulling, socialization) for dogs. I am a dog grandma to a cockapoo and pitbull who adore me and drive their parents crazy when I am around because I spoil them. I have experience with dogs, cats and some farm animals (cows, chicken) from my yearly summer visits to Guatemala. Like Children, pets take to me because of my loving nature. I am a nurturer and enjoy the company of animals. There seems to be genuine connections. I enjoy their company, cuddling and talking to them. I will treat your babies as if they were my own. Although, I may not allow pets on furniture, if they are used to it, there is always an exception to the rule. They will always feel as if they were at home. Let's meet and I can guarantee your pet will have a great connection with me. I am available to pet sit at your home or mine. Either way, "mi casa" will be "their casa." I don’t mind cat sitting. However, it would be best to care for them in your home as I recently found out, my live in boyfriend is allergic. I currently work from home 3 times a week and my husband twice a week. We have a spacious backyard and can provide their daily activity as needed. We also have the flexibility to walk our furry friends (as requested). Please note: your pets will have their own space and will get lots of love from us. We have a fenced yard with plenty of space and a friendly furry friend. We are available for a meet and greet before finalizing a booking.

About: Hi! I’m Oli, a recent grad with almost ten years of experience petsitting. I’m back on Rover for the first time in a while after some of my long-term clients moved/had kids & aren’t in need of a sitter as frequently as before, and I’m looking forward to building relationships with new clients and making friends with your pets. I’ve been around dogs my whole life and have experience taking care of dogs & cats of all ages and sizes with varying levels of needs, including rescues with significant anxiety/trauma and seniors with medical issues/cognitive decline. I can also maintain/clean freshwater fish tanks, and although I have minimal experience with exotic pets, I do have some familiarity with their needs and am quick & eager to learn more if you have any! Thanks so much for checking out my profile & considering me to take care of your non-human family members :^) I’m currently looking for work (great job market right now!!) and generally have a lot of free time. I’m mostly available during weekends and overnight during the week (when I know 100% that someone will be home to take care of Spencer), but I’m good to arrange weekday visits too!! Unfortunately, I cannot board your pet(s) in my home currently — my 14 y/o dog Spencer is ever-so-slightly senile and has developed some issues with reactivity & resource guarding

About: I've been caring for animals for years and have hands-on experience with both dogs and cats. I currently care for my own high-energy Shepherd mix, so I'm comfortable handling large, energetic dogs and understand the importance of patience, consistency, and reading body language. I've also cared for multiple cats while their owners were away, making sure they were fed, had fresh water, clean litter boxes, plenty of attention (or space, depending on their personality), and that their owners received regular updates for peace of mind. In addition to everyday pet care, I have experience caring for dogs with medical needs. My current dog is undergoing heartworm treatment, which has taught me how important it is to follow medication schedules, activity restrictions, and provide calm, attentive care. I also helped care for my childhood dog throughout kidney disease. Whether your pet is playful, shy, young, senior, or needs a little extra patience, I'll treat them like one of my own and make sure they feel safe, comfortable, and loved while you're away. Pet care is already a big part of my daily routine. I have a dog of my own, so I'm used to early mornings, frequent potty breaks, walks, playtime, and sticking to a schedule. I work part-time, which gives me flexibility for drop-in visits, walks, and pet sitting. I'll always make sure your pet gets the attention, exercise, and care they deserve. I care for every pet as if they were my own. I always follow each owner's instructions carefully, including feeding schedules, medications, crate routines, and exercise needs. I have experience caring for both dogs and cats, including pets with medical needs, so I'm comfortable paying close attention to behavior and making sure they stay safe, happy, and comfortable. I'll also keep you updated with plenty of photos and messages so you know your pet is in good hands.

“Nick has been a delight! Our Ginger absolutely adores him! He keeps us updated regarding his visit with our pup. Nick is easy to get in touch with and we trust him with our girl. Looking forward to more visits from Nick in the future!”

“What a pleasure it was meeting Karissa to care for our pup! She left us updated every day and shared what she was doing on each visit! Can't thank her enough for making our trip stress free! Will definitely contact her for future vacations! Gia also thanks you Karissa for taking care of her every need!! Thanks!?”

About: I’ve always had a love for dogs whether that be my own or those that I take care of. I’ve been dog sitting on rover for a few years now along with other times for friends and family. I also have two of my own dogs Zack and Cody! I am a law school student who is currently on summer break so I have a lot of availability. Once school begins at the end of August, my schedule is pretty booked on the weekdays. I am available for all services beginning Thursday evening into Monday morning. I can accommodate walks/drop ins during the week on Mondays and Wednesdays (morning-2pm), and Fridays. I have been dog sitting for many years now. I am used to walking dogs of all different sizes from 20 pounds to 90 pounds. I can cater to any of your dogs needs!
