About: I am a professional dog walker and pet sitter with over twenty years of hands on experience caring for animals. I recently moved to Suffolk County, New York from the Upper West Side of Manhattan after closing my small business in the city. Long Island has been an amazing change for us and we truly love being here. Animals have always been a huge part of my life and have shaped my career for more than two decades. Now that I work from home, I find myself really missing the daily connection with pets. I am certified in pet grooming and have experience in animal behavior as well as light training. I love teaching dogs fun tricks like giving kisses and building trust with them through patience and consistency. I also have experience working as a veterinary technician and receptionist, which has given me a strong understanding of animal health and communication with pet owners. I still maintain several wonderful clients from my time in Manhattan and I am excited to grow my services here in Suffolk County and meet new dogs and their families. About This Sitter Animals have always been my passion for as long as I can remember. I never imagined how far this path would take me, but I truly cannot picture myself doing anything else. Caring for pets feels natural and rewarding to me, and I am grateful every day to be part of their lives. Why I Love Dog Sitting I have loved dogs since the first time I was able to have one of my own. The more I learn about different breeds and personalities, the more my appreciation grows. Every dog has its own temperament and charm, and getting to know them is one of my favorite parts of this work. Meet My Pets In loving memory of Miah. Jenna is currently my active little companion. They are two beautiful Chihuahuas who have filled my life with joy and laughter. About My Home We live in a small four bedroom house in Coram with a backyard that offers space for fresh air and outdoor time. My Experience Administering Medication Yes. I am comfortable giving oral medications only. Pet care fits into my routine very naturally because I work from home and have a flexible schedule. I am available most weekdays and weekends, especially afternoons and evenings. Since I am home often, I can provide consistent attention, walks, feeding schedules, and check ins without rushing. I live in a small four bedroom home in Coram with a backyard where dogs can safely get fresh air and supervised outdoor time. Inside the home, pets are never left unattended for long periods and I always follow the owner’s instructions carefully. I have over twenty years of experience working with animals, including veterinary office experience, so I am very observant of behavior changes and health concerns. I also have one senior toothless small house dog who is gentle and used to other pets, but I always introduce animals slowly and respectfully based on their comfort level.

“Our first time leaving our fur-daughter with Carlos Andrés and Natalia and I think we have found her second family. They sent pics throughout the day of Natalia walking her, and pics of her taking a nap on Carlos Andrés. They seem to be awesome caretakers and we will be hiring them as often as we can. Thank you!”

About: Hi! I'm Cat, and it is my literal pleasure to care for your dog, cat, lizard, bunny, or parrot! What you can expect from me: -Fast, clear, and concise executive-level communication. -Deep breed-specific knowledge of behavior underpinned by my time as a vet receptionist -High quality photos -Easy, flexible scheduling -Complete focus and attention to detail -Genuine joy and enthusiasm to care for your pet In my previous life, I was a design program manager within corporate tech (Meta, Comcast, Pinterest), and I'm thrilled and privileged to pivot into pet care. I have cared for dogs of every size, flavor, and temperament. I have extensive experience training dogs, and quite frankly, I've watched a whole lot of Westminster dog show. In particular, I have specialized experience with shy or nervous dogs and will provide them the space and understanding needed to relax and feel comfortable. I am happy to walk or jog to help burn canine energy. Not afraid to get down in the dirt and play! I have been deeply involved in cat rescue since 2020, when I began working remotely. I have fostered dozens of cats over the years. This includes kittens with complex medical issues. I am very capable at medicating cats and kittens as well as identifying when a cat may be feeling unwell. When you board with me, your pet will not be left alone for more than 1 hour. I only board pets from one household at a time and provide dedicated personal care. When your baby is at my house, they are family. Feel free to reach out with any additional questions. I'm currently working remotely doing project-based contract work, so I have plenty of availability and scheduling flexibility. If boarding or house-sitting, I will be fully available and no pet will be left alone longer than an hour. I have a friendly chihuahua mix (8 lbs) and 2 cats, but if needed, I have plenty of room to give everyone their own space. I have an unfenced backyard with plenty of room to romp. Dogs will always be leashed or tethered in yard.

“Amber did very good care for our golden retriever Daisy. She updated us with details and pictures about Daisy’s stay. Also Amber replied on any of our requests very promptly. We will be booking more services with her for our dog soon.”

“Great communication, clean and safe environment, and most importantly, Cody had a good time 🙂. Thank you so much for taking such a good care of my furbaby.”

“From the moment we dropped Nessa off until the time we picked her up, we were pleasantly surprised by how completely at home she felt with Marla. Normally, Nessa is very apprehensive when meeting new people, new animals, or even visiting a new place. But from the moment Marla opened the door, our normally shy and hesitant little girl ran right into the house to greet Marla and all of her pets. To say my husband and I were shocked would be an understatement! Watching Nessa happily run off to play filled this mom and dad with so much joy. While we were attending our niece’s wedding, we kept checking our phones, fully expecting a call or text saying Nessa was crying or looking for us. That message never came—because she was apparently having the time of her life! When we returned to pick her up, Nessa was excited to show us all of her new friends. It was obvious she had been well cared for and truly enjoyed her stay. We could tell that Marla treated Nessa as if she were one of her own, and there is no greater compliment we could give. We only wish Marla lived in Connecticut instead of New York. Finding someone who genuinely loves and cares for your pet as though they were part of their own family is incredibly rare, and we would trust her with Nessa again in a heartbeat.”

I provide frequent updates with photos and videos throughout the day to keep you informed about your pet’s activities and well-being. I have plenty of time to play with your pups!

“Cindy was absolutely wonderful! We stayed over Fourth of July weekend while we were in town for a wedding, and she made our experience so welcoming from start to finish. She was incredibly friendly, responsive, and genuinely cared about making sure our pup was well cared for. Traveling with a dog can sometimes be stressful, but Cindy made us feel completely at ease and was so kind and accommodating. If you’re looking for someone who goes above and beyond, communicates well, and truly cares about your dog, I can’t recommend Cindy enough.”

“Maria did a great job with my dog Chippy! He was so safe and comfortable at her home. I got many videos and pictures of his stay which put my mind at ease. He even made best friends with her dog Joseph and didn’t want to leave!”

Emily P.

“Gwynne is the best dog sitter we’ve ever had!!! We tried other rover sitters but no one is as dedicated, responsive and caring as her. My dogs Bubble and Molly got two long walks in the scenic neighborhood, rolling time in the beautiful yard (safely leashed!!), cuddling time with mini humans. The dogs and the kids cannot be more adorable. Bubble and Molly couldn’t be any happier! They fell asleep five minutes after we picked them up. I highly recommend Gwynne as a wonderful dog sitter.”

Chang S.

“Want to rest easy your pup is in good hands? Look no further you can rest easy that your dog will be well taken care of and happy here! My boy is special needs. I'm usually only tolerate one sitter where he's not immediately throwing up when he gets in the car from stress!!!! Cindy and Sonnie are caring and attentive and have a beautifully clean home that is super dog friendly! 10 out of 10 would absolutely recommend!!!”

Heather C.

“Jeanmarie did an amazing job taking care of my very needy husky Skye for the day. She kept me updated with plenty of great photos, responded quickly to all my messages, took Skye on multiple walks, and made sure she was well-fed and given lots of attention. Skye came home happily exhausted! Holly was also incredibly sweet and welcoming, and the rest of her family clearly showed Skye so much love while she was there. I felt very comfortable leaving my dog with them and would absolutely book again. Highly recommend!”

About: I have hands-on experience working with animals through both therapy dog work and my previous experience as an assistant to a veterinary technician. This has given me a strong understanding of animal behavior, health, and how to handle pets with care, patience, and confidence. I’m comfortable supporting pets with different needs and always focus on making them feel safe, calm, and well cared for. Working from home allows me to be a consistent, calming presence for your pet throughout the day whether at my home or yours. I truly enjoy spending that time with them—whether it’s going on walks, giving them attention, or just being nearby so they don’t feel alone. I know every pet is different, so I follow their lead and make sure they feel comfortable and secure, whether they’re full of energy or prefer a more relaxed, quiet routine. I keep your pet’s routine consistent while providing attentive care, companionship, and a calm presence. Whether it’s walks, playtime, or quiet time, I adapt to their needs and make sure they feel safe and comfortable while you’re away. I am also a photographer which could lead to getting some great photos while you are away!

“I’m so happy that Jay was understanding, patient and accepting of Sadie even with her overly energetic and playful temperament. Looks like she had a very active and fun filled day because once we arrived home, she ate, drank all her water, went to her bed and fell RIGHT asleep! This is my first time using any service of this nature & I confidently give Jay 5 stars! He promptly responds to texts and he gives the best picture updates! Sadie can’t thank him enough for such an amazing day and looks forward to seeing him and her puppy pals again very soon!”

“Communication was fast and responsive and Mabel was wiped from a fun day of playing with their dogs and hanging out in the yard. Great sitters I would recommend!”

Joseph A.

“Five stars! ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ They are incredibly caring and clearly very attuned to the dogs in their care, especially how they interact with one another and what each dog needs to feel comfortable. I really appreciated the photos throughout the day. It was obvious from every one of them that my dog was relaxed, engaged, and having a genuinely good time. I felt completely confident that he was in wonderful hands and would absolutely book with them again.”
