“Trying to find a great babysitter has been one of the hardest thing I’ve ever had to do especially since I own a large breed puppy! Those feelings changed after I met Vanessa and her family. They are the most loving family I’ve ever met! I felt very assured that my german shepherd puppy was in good hands. I cannot thank Vanessa enough for the amazing service she has provided!”
“Ralph was incredible!! This was Calvin’s first time being watched by someone he hadn’t met previously and he was super comfortable with Ralph! He slept the whole car ride home to Boston because he was so tired from his two walks & playing. If we are local again, we would definitely rebook Ralph :)”
“Alba greeted us warmly and made Max feel very comfortable. She kept in touch during the day, sending photos, and I knew Max was in good hands. I will definitely be using Alba again! Max had a great day 😊”
About: For quite a few years I’ve taken care of dogs for family members, families all over Long Island and never disappointed! I’ve loved dogs all my life and still do. They’re honestly like family to me and I always treat my family with care, respect and love which is what a dog needs. I also have 2 dogs of my own and they is just the best thing that happened to me honestly and that’s why I’m working for this company because I’ve found something that I could work for and love doing what I do at the same time. I treat every dog like they’re mine! Every dog that has been to my house they are treated like our family, care for every one of them. I currently just graduated college so as of right now I am home full time! Sometimes I go out to run a few errands which means I put the dogs in a crate but my mother works from home 2 days out of the week so if she’s there she’ll keep them out and moving around on their own! Other than that I am very free for now! In my home I have a huge clean yard that runs through the back, side and front it is fenced so the dogs could run freely around for some daily exercise. I also have two dogs of my own that’ll definitely keep your lovely dog(s) company. They are very playful and welcoming, one is 4 years old and the other one is 3 years old, with all their shots and up to date with all doctor appointments. This is a smoke free house also. Your baby will be happy&safe here!
“Michelle and her husband are friendly and accommodating. We felt at ease having our dog stay there for the day and will be using their daycare services going forward. Michelle kept us up to date through the day sending over photos during our dogs stay.”
“From the very start, Pamela made us very comfortable by inviting us to meet before sitting for Clare, which we didn’t feel was necessary. Her warmth and professionalism was the perfect combination. Upon arriving to her home, Pamela immediately made Clare feel like a member of her family, showing us around, giving us confidence Clare was in good hands! During Clare’s stay, we could tell she was having fun as Pamela sent photos of Clare lounging and videos of her enjoying her stay. When we picked Clare up, she was in no rush to leave! She clearly enjoyed her stay with Pamela and her husband. We look forward to calling on Pamela again!”
“Krissy was phenomenal !!! I would recommend her to everyone if I could. She was great with my pup and treated him like one of her own. Countless updates and pictures made me feel like I was with my pup even though I wasn’t. Her family are all great as well and make you and your dog feel welcomed. I just want to say I appreciate you and even more so does Rocco! Thank you again Krissy”
“Erica was awesome with our 3 yr old goldendoodle. She kept us updated throughout the day and sent pictures. He had a great time (at least thats what my dog told me, hehe) I definitely plan on sending him back to Erica next time he needs to be watched.”
About: What makes me special about taking care of any type of pet is that I give them my unconditional love, I dedicate myself to them and I make them feel at home, cozy and I give them the attention they need. This helps me because I am very dedicated to my routine. I get up early, eat healthy and exercise. Just as I am dedicated to my daily routine, I am also dedicated to the animals that I take care of and I dedicate myself to them. I have neighbors with very friendly animals. I also provide them with a clean and hygienic area, take them for a walk, play with them and give them my dedication, time and love.
About: My passion is taking care of others, including your pets! I have had a dog in the home since I was 12 years old. I find that the love we give and receive to animals is special and important. Please contact me for any scheduling concerns! I have a dog of my own who I make sure gets 3-4 30min-2 hour walks/day so if your pup is staying with me those are guaranteed. I have also been a volunteer EMT for 5 years, which has given me a lot of responsibility and experience. I take a break from this when I am in school. I have been a nanny upwards of 8 years who's families all had pets! I have a dog of my own who I love and care for daily. He has made me happy in so many ways and I only hope to do the same for your pets too. My dog is very well behaved and disciplined while also loving other dogs! If your dog is not friendly with other animals that is no problem for the daily walk. If your dog is a bit older or just not crazy about other dogs also no problem- my dog is a vibe matcher he will always back off if another dog is uninterested. If your dog does get along with other dogs great news, my dog will definitely tire them out!
“This was my very first time using Rover, and Michael made it an incredible experience from start to finish. He watched my six-month-old Yorkie, Bacon, for the day, and I could immediately tell that Bacon was in great hands. Michael sent consistent updates and the sweetest photos throughout the day, which gave me total peace of mind. When I picked Bacon up, he was calm, relaxed, and clearly so happy—he had such a wonderful time. Michael was kind, professional, and truly went above and beyond. I’m so thankful to have found him and will absolutely be booking with him again. Highly, highly recommend!”
“Bailey loves going to Helen’s! She runs to the front door in excitement when she realizes where we are. I had to stay late at work when something came up, and Helen was super accommodating.”
About: I have had dogs ever since I was a little kid! I am a dog lover and I fortunately get to dog-sit quite often for my brothers and friends when they’re away on vacation or for work! I currently work a relatively remote job in analytics where I don’t have to go into the office and most of my workday is sitting down. Pet care works perfectly into breaking up my day where I can take walks every few hours! Whatever special needs your dog requires, I can accommodate for with proper instructions. I will try to make the most comfortable environment for your pet as possible.
“Great communications & very accommodating! We had to drive to Boston for my son’s graduation on a 1-day trip. Gloria had made the process as easy & as smoothly as possible for my furry baby Teddy. He had a great time with her & we definitely will be back.”
