Pet Sitting Oakwood

About: Don’t tell anyone, but I might prefer dogs/cats over people! My day is always brightened when I get to take care of and spend quality time with a furry companion. I’ve been a dog owner my entire life and have family who have cats that I’ve cared for. I’m taking a break from corporate life to focus on doing what I enjoy. What’s more enjoyable than caring for and playing with pets? My availability is almost entirely open. I always treat every pet with the utmost respect and see to their needs as best I can. I currently have a very friendly five year old Pointer mix, who would love to hang out with your pup! We live across from a public park with trails and access to the beach as well!

About: Hi, I’m T! I have taken care of different ages of dogs and breeds as well. I have experience in walking dogs that pull and being able to redirect them to something else. I love walks, your dog loves walks.. so Me+ Your Dog = Happy Walks. I am free on most days, the whole day. I’m a morning person so I’m up and early, ready to start. I’m a stay near the area person so I don’t tend to travel or be away for long periods of times. I am a student so I’ll be free afternoons most days while Saturdays & Sundays I’ll be free mornings. My home is fenced in all around with lock pads to prevent trespassers. I believe in upholding safety to the highest. I also have two seperate floors and a fenced backyard.

“Excellent service, was on time as promised, and goes above and beyond to care for my dog. Very good experience and will continue to use when I go out of town.”

About: I am starting my Rover journey and have experience raising my 5-year-old dog since he was a puppy. I am also comfortable handling other cats and dogs as I work with them frequently as a vet assistant. I am mainly open to drop-in visits and dog walking. I'm currently working Monday to Friday full time from 8:30-4pm and on Saturdays from 10-5pm. I am free to do drop-ins and walk your pets any day after my workday ends and anytime on Sundays. I love all pets so you can trust me to be patient and caring of your furry babies! I will play with your pets and give them all the love and praise that they deserve.

“Kayla was wonderful! She was very attentive, communicated clearly throughout, and truly went above and beyond. I felt completely at ease knowing my pets were in such great hands. I would absolutely recommend her to anyone looking for a reliable and caring pet sitter.”

About: I provide reliable, attentive care and treat every pet as if they were my own. With experience working as a veterinary assistant, I’m comfortable recognizing changes in a pet’s behavior, administering basic care, and ensuring they stay safe and healthy while you’re away. I’m patient with puppies and kittens who are still learning routines, and I’m equally attentive to senior pets who may need a slower pace, medication reminders, or extra comfort. Whether your pet loves long walks, playtime, or simply relaxing with company, I tailor my care to their individual personality and needs. My goal is to give pet owners peace of mind through consistent communication, photo updates, and dependable care so you can enjoy your time away knowing your pet is in good hands. I am currently going to school and coming home to my cats the best part of my day. My cats are the best thing that have ever happened to me and they are super velcro At home I feed my cats 3 times a day and constantly make sure they have water. I have an automatic litter box and feeder to ensure they have the best care at all times

“Abigail was excellent with our dog. She was always on time and made sure Hazel got lots of exercise and attention when she visited. She listened to our needs and made sure to follow everything we asked of her and kept Hazel's routines as close as to what she was already used to. Our dog loved her and we will def be using Abigail again.”

About: I’ve taken care of dogs since I was a kid. My family and I have raised over 20 dogs. There is no pet or child in my current house so we are open to overnight stay. I am currently working for myself as a stuffed-animal plush seller. So I have plenty of time playing with your pup. I am available every weekday after 10 a.m. I have a fenced yard and dogs can have a great time playing there. The community near my home is quiet, safe and pet-friendly. We will have a great time together.

About: After working at PetSmart's PetsHotel and Grooming Salon, I’ve completed several courses focusing on behavior, stress cues, and the unique needs inherent to different dog breeds. I treat all pets like they’re my own and always make sure they feel safe and happy. Message me for availability and I’ll let you know what I have available for that week or the week following because I’m currently working and in school my availability varies Your pets are safe and sound every moment they’re with me but I’m happy to do regular texts throughout our session if you need any updates on their well being

About: I have taken care of my neighborhood dogs for the past few years. I have also been setting up occurring dog play dates around my neighborhood and dog walks. I am currently working remotely and am pretty flexible when it comes to walking dogs or stopping by for a drop-in visit. I am available Mondays to Thursdays and occasionally over the weekends as well. I regularly walk my dog Bandi; and create a safe and inclusive community by setting up dog play dates with the dogs in my neighborhood.

“Sam is my go to sitter for all my pet needs. She goes above and beyond for all her clients. My pets love her and she will be a staple in my home until we move Ty Sam for all you do for my fur and scale babies!!”

“Ursula was fantastic! She knew exactly how to care for my anxious pup on her first time alone in a long time. The updates were great and her constant communication made me less anxious too. I'll be looking for Ursula next time Lola needs care.”

About: I have done pet sitting and boarding over the years. I have also cared for dogs growing up; All different sizes. It varies from Bijon Fraise to Pitbulls! I love them all. I live in a spacious house with a fenced back yard. I would I am also available overnights for boarding your furry friends. Thank you for reading my profile. Hopefully I am a good fit and help you with any type of services you need. I work from home most days, and the home is never empty. Your pup will never be alone on the occasion that I have to work in person. I am an outdoorsy person, so if needed, lots of exercise would be given. Every pet is different, so the way that I would care for them is dependent on your furry friend's personality.

“We truly hit the pet-sitter jackpot. I hesitate to leave this review for fear that Tammy will become so beloved across Rover she will no longer have time for us! From the moment we met Tammy, it was clear our cats were possibly in better hands than our own (honestly, they seemed a little disappointed when we came back). Updates were consistent, thoughtful, and often included photos that looked like they belonged in a pet lifestyle magazine—somehow capturing both chaos and cuteness in equal measure. Our home was cared for, our girls were happy, and we’re fairly certain they learned better manners while we were gone which raises some questions about our own management style. What really stood out was the genuine care and attention—this wasn’t just “checking in,” it was full-on VIP treatment. Visits weren’t rushed, playtime wasn’t optional, and every detail was handled like it mattered (because it does). If you’re looking for someone trustworthy, communicative, and clearly loved by animals, stop looking—you’ve found them. Just be warned: your pets may start expecting this level of service from you afterward. I still haven't mastered Tammy's double-Churu-dispensing skills, and the judgment from our girls is palpable.”

“Excellent experience with Lin. She went above and beyond to make sure our cats had everything they needed. Communicating with every visit with pictures and details, letting us know the exact situation, was very helpful to keep us reassured everything was fine.”

About: *DOGS MUST BE GOOD WITH OTHER DOGS AND CATS* (I have THREE CATS and A DOG!!) My times for daycare are 8 am - 6 pm ONLY! (Mon-Fri) if outside this range, I will discuss additional payment. I have had dogs since I was a child. I’ve always had a love and care for any animal no matter the breed or size. During college, I worked at a vet as a daycare kennel assistant where I gained knowledge on the care of dogs. I know how to walk dogs, bathe them, cut their nails, etc. I work from home so I’m able to look over your fur baby! My boyfriend helps me from time to time and will help me look after any animal I have. I do go to the gym every so often so your dog needs to be able to be by themselves at least 1 hour, either crate trained or is able to be out without scratching or destroying anything. I have a fenced yard and live in a dog friendly neighborhood. I have a border collie mix and 3 cats in my house who are used to being around other dogs and mostly keep to themselves! If needed, my cats are able to be separated from your fur baby but I prefer friendly dogs!

“Noelle was the best with our cat!!! She was communicative, professional, and so genuinely kind! I absolutely plan to reach out again next time we go out of town!!! 😻”

About: Hello fellow animal lovers. I am a Veterinary Technician with over 20 years of experience for caring for hundreds of dogs, cats, birds and any kind of animal you can think of. My husband Andres is also a vet tech with over 15 years of experience and he helps me take care of any of the pets I watch. I used to mainly watch dogs in my home but since Covid we had a baby and she is allergic to dogs so I can't board in my home anymore which makes me very sad. Hopefully my daughter will grow out of her allergies eventually because we really do miss having dogs in our home and she loves dogs too. So now I can only do drop in visits at your home for any type of pet. I am currently not working and am a stay at home Mom but my daughter is in school now so I can do drop ins during school hours and then after my husband comes home from work in the evenings. I have dedicated my life to caring for and helping all animals and I have loved every second of it. I have experience with every age, breed, species and medical problem. I have years of experience of caring for any illness, physical and behavioral problems and administering any medications or medical treatments necessary. I have had many dogs, cats and other small creatures of my own that i have loved and cared for over the years as well. I love taking dogs out to play and bringing them to the park or wherever they enjoy going to the most. I have a car and can travel to any part of Staten Island. Nothing makes me happier than spending time and playing with as many little fur babies as i can. You can set your mind at ease knowing that experienced, caring veterinary technicians are caring for your precious baby while you are away.

“Nervana was wonderful! My dogs require medication 2x a day and she ensured they received everything they needed. The pictures she sent at each visit put my mind at rest. Thank you!!”

About: What sets me apart is the level of care, patience, and attention I give every pet. I truly treat animals like family, and I know how important it is for pet parents to feel comfortable and updated while they’re away. I focus on making pets feel safe, loved, and relaxed in their normal routine. I’m dependable, communicative, and pay close attention to each pet’s personality and needs — whether that means extra playtime for energetic dogs, patience with shy or anxious pets, or a slower pace and gentle care for senior dogs. Pet care is already a big part of my daily routine and something I genuinely enjoy making time for. I’m used to planning my days around feeding schedules, walks, check-ins, and giving pets the attention and consistency they need. I care for animals every day, including feeding and looking after stray cats in my area, so caring for pets feels very natural to me and is something I’m committed to year-round. I enjoy being active, spending time outdoors, and giving pets companionship, exercise, and comfort while their owners are away. When caring for pets in a client’s home, I do my best to keep their routine as normal and stress-free as possible. I follow all feeding, walking, medication, and sleep schedules closely so pets feel comfortable and secure in their familiar environment. I make sure pets get plenty of attention, exercise, playtime, and companionship — not just the basics. I also keep pet parents updated with photos and messages so they always know how their pet is doing. For dogs, I focus on safe walks, play, bathroom breaks, and making sure they get enough activity and affection based on their energy level and personality. For cats, I understand the importance of patience and routine, especially with shy or anxious cats, and I make sure litter boxes, feeding areas, and water stay clean and fresh. I’m attentive to pets’ behavior and comfort and will always let owners know right away if something seems unusual. My goal is for pets to feel safe, loved, and relaxed while their owners are away. 🐾
