Pet care experience

Your LIC dog’s new best friend!

67 five-star reviews across 7 years. Your dog is in good hands. I’m Mac, a Long Island City local who’s been caring for dogs on Rover since 2018. I know the best routes along the waterfront, the good spots at Gantry Park, and how to make the most of every walk. Your dog gets a real local, not just a sitter. I have a dog of my own. Posie is a 6-year-old Cavapoo who loves people and has strong opinions about her personal space. For boarding clients, I always do a meet-and-greet first to make sure it’s a good fit. I’m best for calm to medium-energy dogs whose owners want reliable, communicative care. I’m available seven days a week, I follow your instructions closely, and I treat your dog like they live here. LIC dogs only. Reach out.

We love Mac! We’re aligned on positive reinforcement, and Loki fell in love at first sight. He’s patient and very caring!

Mac is absolutely wonderful. He is communicative, friendly, prepared, and most importantly our dog had a great time and just adores him. He went out of his way to get to know our dog before her stay, and was careful to make sure he understood her schedule. Then, while we were away, Mac sent us tons of photos of her outside walking, playing at the park, and snoozing away at his apartment afterward. 10/10 would recommend.

Safety, trust & environment

Safety, trust, and providing a comfortable environment are paramount in my care approach. In my apartment, I maintain a pet-friendly space with secure areas and ensure constant supervision. For client's homes, I follow their instructions diligently, paying close attention to the pet's needs, maintaining a safe environment, and providing plenty of love and care.

Pets

A typical day

A typical day with the dogs I watch is filled with fun and engaging activities. We start our day with a refreshing walk, exploring nearby parks and scenic routes. During our time together, we enjoy playtime with toys, stimulating games, and perhaps even some basic training exercises to keep their minds sharp. If permitted by the owner, I love taking pups to dog-friendly cafes or pet-friendly establishments to add extra excitement to our outings. Ensuring the dogs are happy and active is my priority, and I always strive to provide them with a variety of enriching experiences throughout the day.

Understanding your dog ahead of time is crucial to providing personalized care. It's essential for me to know your dog's preferences, such as their favorite activities, toys, and treats. This way, I can tailor our time together to ensure they're engaged and enjoying themselves. Additionally, any specific behavior traits, such as aggression, shyness, or separation anxiety, are vital for me to be aware of. This knowledge helps me create a comfortable and safe environment, providing the necessary support and accommodations to address their individual needs. By gathering this information, I can ensure a positive and tailored experience for your furry friend, making their time with me as enjoyable as possible.
Each sitter joining Rover needs to pass a background check. And by booking on Rover, you can get photo & message updates, 24/7 support, and reimbursement for eligible vet care.
