House Sitting in Oyster Bay Cove

“Kristina was a lifesaver when our usual dog sitter had to cancel last minute due to a health emergency. Kristina was available on short notice and even made time to come meet our dog Lorenzo a few days ahead to get him comfortable with her, and learn his routine and care needs. After that brief visit and her warm and patient approach with him, he took to her, and we felt completely at ease knowing he was in great hands. She kept us updated on how he was doing during the day and took great care of him. We will definitely be using Kristina again and highly recommend her to anyone looking for help with their pet!”

“We asked Andrea to watch our 4 dogs (including 2 puppies) while we went to Ireland for a week - not an easy task for anyone! When there were hiccups, she informed us right away and we returned to our pets being healthy and safe. She also fed our parrot as well as our outdoor cats. Even my plants were well taken care of!”

“Absolutely incredible. I needed a sitter for my pup last minute and Jess went out of her way above and beyond to squeeze in a meet and greet as well as watching my furbaby. Super sweet, punctual, great communication and absolutely love and care for my furbaby. Highly recommend and would definitely rebook with when needed.”

“Kevin took great care of my two frenchies while I was travelling. One has special needs and both take a number daily medications and Kevin handled it all perfectly. They also have allergies and special dietary requirements and were happy and healthy when I got home. Kevin kept me updated with cute pictures everyday and was great to work with! My apt was also left neat and tidy! Thanks so much Kevin! Will definitely rebook for our next trip!”

About: I’ve been caring for dogs since I was 10, and it’s something that has always come naturally to me. Neighbors, friends, and family have trusted me for years to walk, feed, bathe, and look after their pets, and I love being that reliable person they can count on. Each pet has their own personality, and I really enjoy figuring out what makes them feel happy and comfortable — whether it’s a puppy who needs extra playtime or a senior dog who just wants calm companionship. Alongside my pet care experience, I’m CPR-certified for animals and also work as an EMT (for humans, though!), which has given me strong skills in responsibility, patience, and staying calm in any situation. I bring that same level of care and attentiveness to every pet I look after, making sure they feel safe, loved, and part of the family while their people are away. I work part-time as an EMT and full days as a medical assistant on Mondays and Tuesdays (and some weekends), which leaves me with a flexible schedule the rest of the week. Spending time with pets is honestly a perfect balance to my medical work — it feels like a little getaway, and I’ve really missed being around animals. Caring for pets lets me combine something I love with helping out families who need reliable support. I believe pets are happiest in their own familiar space, so I prefer to care for them in their home where they feel most comfortable. I follow each family’s routines closely — walks, meals, medication, and beyond to make sure pets feel safe and secure. With my healthcare background and pet CPR certification, I bring an extra level of attentiveness and responsibility. My goal is to make your pets feel loved and cared for, while giving you peace of mind knowing they’re in good hands!

About: I have been taking care of pets since I was a teenager, having family pets growing up and also including watching neighbors’ dogs as well as friends and family members pets over the years. Animals have always warmed up to me immediately, even when described as shy or unfriendly. I work full time but my position has me mobile and traveling to different locations around Long Island throughout the day. This allows me to make stops during the midday for walks. I will also be able to pet sit over night and weekends. I care for all pets as if they were my own. Beyond providing walks and feeding your pet they will also receive attention and affection as well. Along with the utmost care to be aware of drivers and other dogs during walks and to secure any property during overnight visits.

“We highly recommend Jen. We came home to a happy dog and a clean home. We are so grateful to be able to go out of town knowing that Bertha is in such good hands!”

About: This time in my Life is the first time, I have not had a dog of my own. I have had a dog since I was about 8 yrs old. I love dogs, all dogs and for some reason, I have yet to meet a dog who doesn't like me. I will always treat your dog like my own. At this time in my life.. I want to Love everyone else's dogs. I am retired and home almost all days, and if I am not home and watching someone's dog, I would more than likely take them with me. I enjoy going to dog park with my Nephew Dogs and basically just love hanging out with dogs. I live in an apartment and have no pets. I would make all dogs feel comfortable and I allow Pets on furniture and have toys and treats always in the house. I would take them for walks and dog park. Just talking about it, makes me happy.

“Rachel was amazing! My dog was happy and well cared for, and I came home to a clean, organized house. It’s such a relief to know my pup is in such good hands—can’t wait to book her again 😊”

About: Whether it's caring for my hyper-active Golden Retriever, my attitude-giving Tabby Cat, or my reoccurring client's King Charles' Spaniel and English Setters, I'm more than equipped to handle any size dog or cat. I'm used to staying at the pet's home, but willing to be flexible and stop by whenever needed. Fun Facts: Used to caring for horses, barn cats, goats, rabbits, and fish. Taking care of my pets is a huge part of my schedule as I find it's the best way to keep them happy and healthy. Daily walks, even weekly park visits, and lots of cuddles and scratches are all simple ways to keep my kids content and healthy. I make sure my pets are in their respective areas before leaving my home; this ensures that they are in a safe place and have access to any food or water they need. Care varies depending on client's wants/pet's needs, but I am willing to handle a crated pet or free-roaming (as long as they are well adjusted and don't mind strangers).

“Just a great experience all the way around. Our doggy Eloise just loves Madie!”

About: I’ve always loved dogs and cats since I was young. Although I’m mildly allergic to furs and therefore do not have pets of my own, I absolutely want to spend more time with others’ pets! I currently work remote at home. I have a rather flexible schedule to walk/care for pets on a daily basis, during the workday and potentially the weekends. I offer pet care for both dogs and cats and maybe other small mammals as well. I do not bring pets back to my home but am more than willing to spend time at the owner’s place based on needs.

“Madeleine is wonderful in many ways. Patient, loving and caring to my dog and cats. She is reliable, sensible, a problem solver and truly willing and able to help out above and beyond. Madeline animal sat over night for my dog and cats. My car broke down and my return time was greatly delayed. Madeleine was very helpful and went above and beyond to make sure my animals were fins=e as well as making sure I did not stress out. I am grateful to have connected with her and will use her always! Highly recommended.”

About: I've taken care of pets of my own for almost 2 years now. Ive fed the stray cats for 3 years now. I'm extremely cognizant & involved in the care for my pets (cats). I want optimal health for them, so I take extreme measures in terms of nutrition, cognitive-stimulation, behavior, etc. I can only provide help/assistance Friday-Sunday Wednesdays or Fridays (alternates each week). I am a full-time student and don't have access to my own car. So going based off availability of parents Making sure eating/drinking bowls are sanitary. Making designated areas in the home for the pet a clean and safe environment. Monitoring there whereabouts and behaviors.

“My first time using Rover and I’m glad I found Liz because she was Amazing with my puppies, was beyond my expectations, She follows my instructions and sometimes when I forgot something she asked, I definitely hope to book with her again.”

About: Hello there! I, like many college kids, had a tough time during covid. Luckily, my roommate brought his perfect little puppy to school! He was training to be a CCI dog and honestly kept me sane. We would go on hikes, walks to the park, and say hello to anyone passing by. He became a bit of a local figure by the time he was turned in, well known for being such a sweet boy. I miss him every day and would love to go on adventures with puppies (of all ages) again!! I am unemployed as of right now. I will have all the time in the world to take your dog wherever they want and bring them back very happy and sleepy. I currently live directly inside a park (Wawapek preserve) and will be able to run them all around there. I love to jog so if a pup is feeling extra crazy we can run together! I am not comfortable with off leash dogs so we will remain on leash unless inside an obviously fenced in area. I also want to avoid dog parks with more than one or two other dogs present, as to mitigate any risk of problems happening. I will abide by any rules (crates, no sitting on furniture, etc) that the owner sets other than shock or prong collars. I haven't been taught how to handle dogs with those types so I don't think that would be the best fit. Besides that, I'll run that pup all around!
