Dog Sitting Merrick

About: I am located in Long Island, New York! I’ve had dogs my whole life and absolutely love them! I’m experienced in caring for dogs of all breeds and sizes, and I’m passionate about making sure they feel safe, happy, and loved. Whether it’s walking, playing, or providing companionship, I’m always excited to spend time with pups! I am currently taking pre requisite classes for graduate school so my schedule is pretty flexible right now! The dogs will be taken care of throughout the day as needed! I have a small fenced in yard so your dog will always have room to run/play and go to the bathroom. I will let them out multiple times during the day.

“Cassie was wonderful! Super communicative and detailed with our pups! Thank you for such a good stay!”

About: I have taken care of dogs, cats and small animals of all kinds! I also have experience volunteering in animal shelters with puppies, kittens, cats and dogs! I am currently working full time but have time in the mornings, evenings and weekend to provide your kitties and pups with the best care! I am very comfortable around all animals and will provide the best care possible to your fur babies! As a pet parent myself, I know how important it is to receive updates and photos of your babies while away and will ensure you are always updated.

“Natasha did an excellent job getting our skittish Springer Spaniel to warm up and make friends while we were away. Natasha was able to get Maisie to calm down and relax by just being calm and sensitive to her fears and protective instincts. We plan to use Natasha again.”

About: I’ve had a dog for as long as I can remember and I’ve never had any issues with any dogs. I’ve had a boxer, pitbull mix, and husky throughout my life My calendar is open all summer long!!! I’m working part time during the summer so I have lots of availability to care for your animals! I can provide care throughout the week and on weekends! When I sit for families I always send lots of photos and videos to parents because I know they miss their furry friends so much!

About: I absolutely Live for animals. Since I was small I knew working with animals was my passion. They bring me an extreme amount of joy and love and I promise to love and treasure your pup like it is my own. Many think of their dogs as "just dogs", I believe there is something deeper and far more special between a relationship with a person and their pet. My dogs are my family and I adore them. I have had dogs growing up my entire life, and when I was old enough to live on my own I started to rescue and foster senior and disabled dogs. I currently have a blind Pekingese who I rescued a day before euthanasia who is the love of my life, and a one eyed terrier who I rescued after being hit by car. I deny No pet, and usually I am the go to person when friends or family need a dog sitter if they are going out of town. I have worked with Both the ASPCA and Dogs without Borders in Hollywood, CA. If your pet stays with me it will be treated like my own, if I do stop in visits for walks they will enjoy time at the park and being outside. I have experience with deaf dogs, blind, and 3 legged dogs. Dogs who have been on 3x a day medicine, overly friendly dogs and the scared, timid dogs.

About: i have over 16 years of experience caring for dogs and truly love being around animals. Friends, family, and neighbors have trusted me to walk, feed, and care for their pets like family. I'm patient, dependable, and attentive to each pets needs. I'm comfortable with dogs of all sizes, including puppies, senior dogs and high energy breeds. Whether your pet needs walks, playtime, feeding or companionship, I'm happy to help. I'll also provide updates and photos or videos so you can feel comfortable while your pet is in my care. Pet care fits easily into my daily routine. I'm available for walks, drop-in visits and pet care during some weekday evenings, weekends, and for the summer. I enjoy spending time with animals and making sure they feel loved, safe, and cared for. Your pets safety and comfort are always my priority. I follow all care instructions carefully, keep pets in a safe environment, and make sure they receive plenty of attention, exercise, and affection. I'll also provide updates and photos so you feel comfortable while your pet is in my care

About: With over 27 years of hands-on experience in animal care, I have dedicated much of my life to nurturing, raising, and understanding the needs of a wide variety of animals. From a young age, I was immersed in environments that required consistent, compassionate care for pets, developing a deep-rooted passion and natural intuition for animal welfare. Throughout the years, I’ve gained extensive experience in feeding, grooming, administering basic medications, and observing animal behavior for signs of distress or illness. My approach is always centered around patience, empathy, and attention to individual needs—ensuring that every animal in my care feels safe, loved, and well-cared for. I currently have a beloved fur baby of my own, who receives the highest standard of care and attention. This personal commitment reflects the level of dedication I bring to all animals under my supervision. Whether it’s routine care or emotional comfort, I pride myself on creating a nurturing and structured environment for every animal. As a lifelong animal lover and experienced caregiver, pets are an integral part of my everyday life. My home is not just a place for my own beloved fur baby—it's a welcoming, safe, and nurturing environment for any pet in my care. Because of my personal commitment to animal well-being, I’m home the majority of the time, which allows me to provide constant supervision, companionship, and routine check-ins throughout the day. When boarding with me, your pet will experience a comfortable, secure, and engaging home environment—both indoors and outdoors. Inside, pets enjoy a cozy, climate-controlled space where they are treated like family. I maintain a clean and organized home, with designated pet-friendly areas for rest, play, and feeding. Whether your fur baby prefers quiet time or interactive play, I tailor the indoor experience to meet their individual needs, including any special care routines or accommodations. Outdoors, your pet will have access to a fully fenced-in yard—perfect for safe exploration, exercise, and fresh air. The space is ideal for dogs who love to run, play fetch, or simply lounge in the sun. Supervised outdoor time is incorporated into the daily routine, ensuring plenty of opportunities for physical activity and mental stimulation. In addition, I have a friendly, well-socialized dog who can serve as a playful companion if your pet enjoys the company of others. However, I also understand that not all pets are social butterflies, and I am fully prepared to keep them separated to ensure a calm and stress-free environment for everyone. Whether your pet thrives on companionship or prefers their own space, I adapt to what makes them most comfortable and secure.

“Karen is outstanding and I highly recommend her. She took excellent care of our kitties and they love her! I am very pleased with the top notch care they received. I am now, and will be a forever client.”

About: Hi! My name is Rachel. I’m a passionate and reliable dog lover with a genuine love for all breeds, big and small. I have been taking care of my family dog for the past 15 years, along with friends and families dogs when they aren’t around. My goal is for you and your fur baby to feel at ease and comfortable while being apart. You will be receiving picture updates from me each day! I look forward to meeting you and your furry baby!! If I am watching your dog, it is because I am home and available to spend time with them. I can adjust to whatever their routine is. If I am watching your dog, it will be your dog only! I will not be having other dogs in my home or walking other dogs at the same time as yours. I can walk your dog as long as you want me too. If your dog is staying with me, they can happily snuggle and sleep with me!

About: I was lucky to tag along with my partner for a Rover gig and I fell in love with dog/house sitting! Since I was unable to have a pet in the our apartment building, it was a great way to care for an animal. I enjoy babysitting and dog sitting. Sharing good vibes 😎 I just moved back to New York from Minnesota. I have a lot of flexibility in my schedule. I work remotely so I can come by between my sessions or work from your home while I care for your loved one! I really care about leaving a place the same or better. Unless noted otherwise, I'll clean a dish, walk a little longer.... its just the type of person I am. The more instructions and specificities the better! Every pet is uniques and so the care should be too!

About: Assisted Veterinary Technicians and Veterinarians in running our Animal Hospital that serves about 25+ small animals per day. Worked individually and with a team to do grooming procedures such as medicated baths, nail trims, ear cleanings, and sanitary shaves. Provided a calm and comforting environment while assisting with & administrating medications, vaccinations, blood draws, x-rays, etc. Maintained a fear-free environment and prevented waiting-area conflicts between patients while at the front desk completing clerical duties. I am applying to veterinary school and have a lot if flexibility with my schedule. Since I'm taking a break from working in hospitals and focusing on my academics, I would love to keep petcare as part of my routine. I treat overnight stays like your furry friends favorite sleepover. I will be sure to maintain their daily routines promptly and thoroughly, sprinkle in some of their favorite things, and shower them in love to keep them distracted from missing you too much while you're away. As for my more shy friends, I will be sure to acts smoothly and calmly throughout the night. I will try to build their trust by bringing as much predictibility as possible in this unusual situation.

About: I am a Pre vet major in college with a minor in wildlife ecology. I also have experience as a vet intern. I am also currently working at a wildlife rehab 3-4 days a week so some days I am only available for early morning walks or late night walks. My whole life I have grown up around dogs. My mom was always brining different starts into the house until they found homes. When my family or friends would go away on vacation I would take care of their pets for them. I would go over to their house and feed and play with them until they got tired. I even would take them on walks or bring them to the dog park if they asked me to I would take their dog to the dog park to play. Ever since I have been in 6th grade I have been volunteering at an animal rescue every Saturday. While I am there I help raise donations and work with the dogs that have behavioral issues. I work part time at two jobs so my hours are pretty flexible. I mostly work in the mornings and free the rest of the day I have a huge fenced in backyard with plenty of space to run around. I also have 2 dogs and 3 cats to keep ur fur baby company. I am able to crate ur dog if needed.

“Michael was amazing with my two shy cats. He was gentle and patient and overall just what they needed. He was respectable of our space and followed instructions well. So grateful he made my first Rover experience a smooth and positive one! Reliable and very responsive. Highly recommend and will definitely rebook in the future.”

“Ana was FANTASTIC with Lucas. She sent thorough updates and went above & beyond to care for him while we were gone. Will definitely be reaching out in the future!”

“Lily was absolutely amazing! She took care of my two cats, Dice and Button, while I was away on vacation and truly went above and beyond. From the very first visit, she was communicative, reliable, and incredibly caring. She made sure both cats were well-fed, safe, and happy, and even spent extra time giving them attention and affection. Dice is usually shy, but under Lily’s care, he quickly warmed up and started following her around, which says a lot about how comfortable she made them feel. She also kept me updated every day with sweet notes and photos, which gave me great peace of mind while I was away. I came back to happy, well-cared-for cats and a tidy home. I couldn’t have asked for anything more. Thank you, Lily! I would absolutely book with her again and highly recommend her to anyone looking for a kind, responsible, and dedicated pet sitter.”
