About: I have loved dogs and animals for as long as I can remember. Growing up, I wasn’t allowed to have a dog, but I spent a lot of time caring for my neighbor’s Bernese Mountain Dog, Koda. I would walk, play with, and care for him, which helped me realize how much I enjoy working with animals and building connections with them. As I got older, I began volunteering with Carol’s Senior Pet Sanctuary, where I walked shelter dogs and sometimes brought them home overnight. This gave me experience with dogs of different sizes, ages, energy levels, and personalities. I understand that every dog is unique and always make sure they feel safe, comfortable, and cared for. My love for animals has inspired me to pursue a career in dog grooming and training, with the goal of becoming a professional dog trainer. I’m patient, energetic, and happy to keep active dogs entertained while also being comfortable with shy or nervous dogs. Whether your dog needs walks, playtime, feeding, fresh water, bathroom breaks, companionship, or just some extra love and attention while you are away, I would be happy to help. My goal is to make sure your pet feels happy, safe, and loved while you are gone. I will treat every dog as if they were my own and give them the patience, attention, and care they deserve. I currently have a very flexible schedule and am available throughout the week, including weekends. I’m happy to work around your schedule and provide care whenever you need it. Whether your pup needs a walk, playtime, companionship, or extra attention, I’m always happy to help and make sure they feel happy, safe, and loved! I take pet safety very seriously, both in your home and in mine. I make sure doors are securely closed and locked when needed, and I keep anything potentially harmful or unsafe out of a dog’s reach. I always keep a close eye on the dogs in my care, especially puppies who may be curious and get into things. I’ll also follow your instructions regarding feeding, walks, routines, and any areas of the home your dog is or isn’t allowed in. My goal is to create a safe, comfortable, and stress-free environment where your pup can feel right at home.
About: I've had the pleasure of caring for dogs since I was 13. I've had my own dogs, as well as caring for and watching many friends' and neighbors' dogs overnight. I simply adore dogs and I believe they can sense it. I'm very patient, calm, & will treat your dog with the upmost of care. I'm dedicated to dog sitting and walking! My schedule is flexible and I'm available 5 days (Sunday through Thursday in the day), and overnights Sunday through Thursday as well. I'm comfortable staying over a client's house. I'm respectful of property and very clean. I will become fast friends with your fur baby and play with them for hours.

About: I've been taking care of dogs since I was young and caring for my 15 year old mini schnauzer for his entire life. I have experience dog sitting and walking for friends and neighbors while they were away. I have a 2 year old dog who I love to train and take on hikes. As an animal and nature lover, I love getting outside in the fresh air for a long walk with a dog companion! I am a freelance graphic designer that works from home, so I am available during the weekdays as needed. My availability varies Saturday and Sunday. I am cautious and reliable, making sure your pets are safe and comfortable in my presence. I am experienced with senior dogs and reactive dogs as well.
About: I’ve had a dog pretty much my whole life, so I’m very used to taking care of them and being around them every day. I also spend a lot of time around my girlfriend’s cat and help take care of her, so I’m comfortable with both dogs and cats. I genuinely love animals and I’m someone you can trust to make sure your pet is well taken care of and gets plenty of attention while you’re away. I’m a commuter engineering student at Stony Brook, so I have a pretty flexible schedule and spend a lot of my week at home. Most days I’m only on campus for a few hours at a time, and I’m free all day on Saturdays. I do have an occasional longer class day, but even then I’m able to plan around your pet’s schedule. A lot of my schoolwork is done on my laptop, so when I’m pet sitting I’m happy to study and do my work from your home, which means I can spend plenty of time with your pet throughout the day. I also usually go to a local gym for about an hour and a half in the evening, but otherwise I’m around and can be pretty flexible. I’ll follow whatever routine you already have for your pet so they can stay as comfortable as possible while you’re away. I’m active and in good shape, so I’m more than happy to take dogs on long walks or give them as much exercise as they’re used to. I can handle feeding, walks, playtime, bathroom breaks, litter boxes, and whatever else is part of their normal routine. I’m also completely comfortable sleeping with your pets if that’s what they’re used to, or giving them their own space so it’s really whatever you and your pet are most comfortable with. I’m happy to send pictures and updates too so you know they’re doing well.

About: Hello! I’m new to Rover and would love to have the chance to care for your pets! I have grown up with dogs my whole life, mostly small (i love big dogs too!) and a variety of breeds! I’ve also had experience with dogs of all ages from puppies to senior so I understand the demands of all stages of life. I also have experience training basic commands. In addition to pet care, I also have experience with house cleaning services. If you’d like, I’m happy to provide light or full house cleaning during your booking for an additional charge. Feel free to message me for details!

With a crate provided, there is room to set that up as well.
About: For 15 years, I have loved and cared for my animals. I was lucky enough to receive excellent training for my shepherd/husky and incorporate the methods during interactions with other animals as well as my new puppy. I completely understand needing reliable care when away. Patience, exercise and attention work wonders!! I'm currently working remote on Thursdays and am able to fit walks in throughout the day as well as during weekends. A varied schedule is fine!! Ensuring the animal's environment is the same when I leave as when I arrive is necessary to prevent injury or any accident. My yard is completely fenced in and equipped to play and run!
About: My passion for animals is a motivating force and that’s exactly what sets me apart from other sitters. I have a dog of my own, whom I’ve raised since she was a puppy, and I know how important a pet is— they really are family. I have thorough knowledge of puppy training, extensive knowledge in assisting animals with developing their leash manners, and experience caring for/walking large reactive dogs. Pet care is something that I’d like to transition my full-time work into. It is much more rewarding to me than my current position and I’d love to be able to do this full-time. I will care for the client’s pet(s) in the exact way the client would like. If they need me to walk their dog and then crate them, I can do that. It all comes down to what the owner(s) want and I am happy to oblige.

Can’t say enough positive things about Christiana !! We have a very large, very skittish English mastiff and Christiana was very patient, professional, and caring through the whole process. She spent so much time with us during the initial meet and greet, and she went above and beyond for Bingo during her visit. We hope to continue to utilize her services in the future and would recommend her to any and all!!
I cannot say enough great things about ! They were so attentive and truly loving toward my dogs the entire time. It was clear from the start how much they genuinely care every detail was handled with patience and kindness, and my pups were happy, relaxed, and well-cared for when I returned. I received thoughtful updates that gave me peace of mind, and I could tell my dogs felt safe and loved in their presence. If you’re looking for someone who treats your pets like family, I highly recommend Cynthia. I will absolutely be booking with them again

Whether you’re at the office for the day or traveling for a few nights, a pet sitter can offer potty breaks during a Patchogue stroll, cleaning the litter box, or making sure your pet has on-time food or water refills.

Tip: You can discuss your specific arrangements with a pet sitter on Rover to what fits you, your pet, and your sitter’s needs. To find what their special skills are, look at the "Skills" and "Pet care experience" sections on their profile.
Key handling is entirely up to you and your sitter to agree on during the Meet & Greet or in the Rover app. Most pet parents in Patchogue choose to hand over a spare key or digital fob in person, while others arrange a lockbox or unique access code. Don't forget to discuss key returns as well!
Every sitter on Rover is required to pass a background check before listing their services. This process confirms their identity and indicates they are not on the Department of Justice’s National Sex Offender Public Website or have any disqualifying offenses.

A Meet & Greet is a short introductory meeting between you, your dog, and a sitter. It can take place in person or virtually, although we recommend in-person so that your pet can get to know your sitter or the new environment. During the Meet & Greet, you will have a chance to walk through your pet's routine, medical needs, and unique quirks. Take the time to ask your sitter questions about their skills and expertise, and make sure the fit feels right for everyone. Most pet parents and sitters on Rover welcome Meet & Greets because the process can give confidence and peace of mind for service experiences, especially for longer stays or first-time bookings.
While Rover doesn’t offer traditional subscription services, some sitters offer recurring bookings for services like home visits and dog walking. Recurring services come with their own perks, such as flexibility to modify services (up to five weeks in advance), automatic billing, Rover Card updates, and same-day cancellations.
