“Elaina is the absolute best! I have used her services repeatedly now, and could not be more grateful to have found her here on Rover. She is extremely accommodating, responsive, and genuinely a kind human. Someone you would want to leave your pup with, and feel very comfortable doing so! I could not recommend Elaina enough.”


About: I am an experienced dog owner, having cared for my own senior dog post surgery. I’m great with administering medication and am always running around being playful with the animals I care for. I’m currently a hybrid worker where I can work from home some days! I am also available on weekends! Pet care is a part of my daily routine since I have my own dog. I have a fenced yard in my own home. I take my own dog out every couple hours or so when I can and give her two 30 min walks if I can.

“I highly recommend Jessica! This is the second time she has watched my dogs. I have to hire someone to give my dog his meds at night if I am not around, and I trust her to do it! She is very kind and keeps you updated during the check in.”

About: I’ve been raising, helping to raise, and training animals since I was 10 years old! Dozens of horses, dozens of dogs, 6 birds, and 2 cats later, I dare say I enjoy the company of animals more than people. I worked for a company called PupStrut in Manhattan when I was attending college for all 3 years at that school. I provided training and a full hour walk for 3-5 dogs/day roughly 3 days/week. (Sometimes more, sometimes less depending on the client) I’m freelancing and cleaning houses part time currently. I am helping care for my in-laws animals as well. I’d love to help a few other families care for their furry babies! I need a meet and greet with the owner to learn about the ins and outs of a pet’s space, their dietary needs, health issues, personality quirks, and what training needs they may require. I’m a quick learner and I’m organized to a flaw.

“Wonderful, caring pet sitter! My cat normally hides when new people visit my home, but she took to Railya instantly and stayed out for her. Railya followed all of my instructions, gave me thorough updates, and you can really tell that she loves animals and takes her job seriously. I have already booked her for my next trip out of town!”

About: I’ve been caring for dogs of all sizes and personalities for over two decades. Friends, family, and neighbors have trusted me to walk, feed, and play with their pets, making sure they feel safe, loved, and happy while their owners are away. I have experience with puppies, seniors, and dogs with special needs, and I’m comfortable administering medications when required. My priority is to make every pet feel at home, whether it’s a quick walk or a check in. I currently work part-time, so I have plenty of flexibility to care for your pets. I’m available for boarding on weekends and for walks, drop-ins, or playtime on weekdays. I love getting outside for walks, runs, and play, and I’ll make sure your pets have both the exercise and attention they need to be happy and healthy. Your pet’s comfort and safety come first. I have a securely fenced yard and a friendly dog who loves making new friends. I can also easily crate your dog if needed or preferred. When caring for pets in your home, I follow your instructions closely to maintain their routine and keep them stress-free. I treat every home and pet with respect, love, and attention to detail—just as I would want for my own.

“Alexis is wonderful!!!! Trustworthy, friendly, and amazing with animals! Alexis watched my kitties when I was away in Europe for a week and I was completely at peace knowing she was watching my fur babies. She was thoughtful and mindful of what my cats needed and kept me updated with each visit with adorable photos! She also took wonderful care of my home and cleaned up the areas around the cat litter. Anyone would be lucky to have Alexis watch their animals. I will definitely be using her again! Thank you Alexis 🤍”


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.

“I wish I could give Erinn more than 5 stars! She was so incredibly sweet with our dogs, they clearly loved their time with her, she managed to send photos of the two of them (in the same frame, which I’ve never been able to accomplish) every day. She took the absolute best care of them, we had zero worries while on our trip. Thank you Erinn!”


“Hannah was such a great pal to our cat Jeffrey while we were away! She is very communicative and responsible, and we’ll definitely be contacting her for pet sitting next time we go out of town.”


About: I've always loved spending time with dogs since I was a kid. Raising and training Remy, a Vizsla male with unlimited energy (who is now 5), has fast tracked my dog care experience. He's a LOT of dog and I absolutely love it. A few years ago, I started caring for dogs over Rover. It's been a wonderful experience for us, and I've especially enjoyed learning how to communicate with dogs of all shapes, sizes, ages, and personality types. Cats are good people too! For cats I'm happy to provide drop-in services and potentially house sitting if it works with my schedule. I'm in between professions now working a lot from home on Long Island. I have a flexible schedule over this summer in particular. I'm especially keen to take on dog walking clients and check-ins, though boarding or day care is possible depending on the circumstances. I'm happy to adjust to you and your dog's needs in terms of exercise, exposure to other dogs, and on/off leash comfort levels. I'm currently living in a house with a fenced in yard and plenty of comfy spots for dogs to relax. (Your dog would be allowed everywhere ours is, which is everywhere.) I'd love to chat over the phone or by text to figure out if my services would work for your pet and if they would be a good fit for our household!

About: I have a long history of taking care of family and friends pets along with a 4 year history of being a veterinarian. I graduated from Cornell vet school and did my residency at Penn Vet. I am now taking off 2 months this summer after residency before starting a job in DC in October and would love to continue to care for pets in the meantime! I am very flexible as I am not starting my new job in DC until mid October! Unable to care for pets in my home but happy to travel to take care of your pets all over Long Island! I am an avid dog walker. I am willing to travel to take care of your pets! I am a veterinarian so I am able to handle medications as well!
