“Kimberly was amazing! I contacted her last minute to walk my dog while we were at work and she had no problem helping us out! She was so easy to communicate with and sent me photos of my puppy the whole time she was with him! Would definitely book again and highly recommend!”
“Wow! Amazing couple… very professional and thorough. They did everything by the book and went beyond the call of duty. Seriously, they’re wonderful. Plan on using their services again. Thank you!”

About: All my life I have lived with cats. My dream pet would be a mini pig, I truly love all animals (except bugs lol). I have taken care of 6 indoor cats & 4 kittens throughout my life, over 20 outdoor cats and I've helped out my neighbors by walking their dogs. Every walk I take any pup on I make sure to bring my pooper scooper (with bags of course), a portable water bowl, some balls, a spare leash, collar lights (in case I'm walking the pup at night), and some treats! And for the kitties, I'll bring a variety of cat toys! When your pet is with me I can guarantee they will be well taken care of! I currently am a stay at home mom of a beautiful 6 year old so my schedule is pretty flexible to take care of any of your animals needs! My cats are always happy and healthy. I made sure to get almost everything I feel would be necessary to ensure the animals I take care of them they will be safe and happy.
About: I'm a dog & cat lover. Dog is the most loyal company of humans. I like them smell so hard like they can’t help themselves, I like their soft paws, I love them kiss me a little bit, but not too much. I don’t like they always try to run outside for no reason. I used to have a German Shepherd, a Lion Cat with odd eyes, and a corn snake. I'm now self-employed, so I have time. My kids love dogs and cats, too. In our family, pets are not just companions, they are cherished members of our household. We all have a deep affection for cats and dogs, delighting in the time spent playing with them. Our children especially enjoy interacting with our furry friends. They will have fun in our house. We regularly inspect our home for potential hazards to ensure that our pets do not come into contact with harmful substances or dangerous areas. Maintaining a clean and hygienic environment is a priority; therefore, we routinely clean the areas where our pets live.

“I found Jodi through Rover and she's been walking my good boy Ozzy for quite some time now. I got to witness her walk routine as well! She gives him a threat and pets upon the walk's conclusion. She is very flexible and promptly responds whenever I contact her about a potential booking. Excellent service by Jodi!”
About: I lived in a house with dogs from birth to age 18, so I know how to play with them and keep them amused, set them at ease, and care for them in their senior years. My wife prefers cats to dogs, so since our marriage we have only had cats, and I very much miss the company of dogs. I currently have one dog client in the area, but I am hoping for more. I am also a volunteer at Sav-A-Pet in Port Jefferson Station. I recently retired from my career in the pharmaceutical industry, and I now have time to devote to looking after furry friends. Although I vacation a few times a year, I am otherwise available. I will strictly obey the rules set forth by my clients and honor their wishes regarding their pet's care and the care of their home.
“Larissa is with my Loki weekly and we couldn't ask for someone better! She's caring, trustworthy, communicative, loving and really connects with my dog. She always goes above and beyond and I couldn't imagine being without her at this point! She really spends the entire time with him and makes him happy! She's the best.”
“Kalista is such a charming woman. My Ozzy absolutely adores her. And she really came through for me when I was in a bind. She's a very compassionate person. I'm so lucky to have met her.”

About: Hello Fellow Pet Parents, I work in education so I have an abundance of availability in the summer. During the school year I’m free weekends and during holiday breaks for all sitting purposes! So what can I say!?! Hummm… I Have assisted in the pet sitting world for over 10 years both commercially and privately. Built our own little dog park which gets cleaned daily. My pups are super friendly and love to do zoomies with visitors. The home is open and spacious. All dogs get individual attention. I work, but during the summer and parts of the year I do work remotely and have time off. I spend most of my weekends, afternoons, and evenings home with the pups and family. I have a fenced in little doggie park that gets cleaned daily. Dogs are free to roam the home unless you prefer them to be crated at anytime (ex. Bedtime). Two small dogs live here who are extremely social, vaccinated, and love playing with visitors. There are doggie cameras too. I make myself available anytime for my fellow doggie parents.

Robert W.
“To be totally upfront, Bob is my brother and not a friend. So I am far from unbiased in this. On the other hand, having grown up with him I'm more than familiar with his history with pets. Growing up we had dogs and cats and birds and hamsters, etc in the household. He is very comfortable around household pets and deals with them in a very patient, reliable and kind manner. He's even good with finicky cats, as he and his spouse of many years have two in their home. You probably know from his application that he has a graduate degree from Columbia and has recently retired after many years of employment. In short (and in my somewhat biased opinion), he's a portrait in responsibility and will undoubtedly treat any animals assigned to him with kindness and exceptional care. Any animals left in his care will be in good hands”

“Skylar loves pets in general but she is ridiculously punctual and commmited once she promises something. She has taken care of my dog, each time I traveled and I lived about 30 mins away. We have some strict guidelines when it comes to walking dogs and I've only been complimented by the neighbors. I would have no problem recommending her knowing how much she likes animals and how serious she follows up on her commitments.”
John S.
“John is truly a gentle and loving cat dad with a heart full of love for all animals, especially dogs. He’s incredibly responsible, always on time, and communicates clearly and consistently. I’ve trusted him with my beloved dogs—Cooper, Oakley, and Rudy—and he has treated each of them as if they were his own. Whether it’s daily walks, playtime, or just being a calming presence, John always goes above and beyond. I can’t recommend him enough as a pet sitter—he’s someone you and your pets can truly count on.”

Port Jefferson dog parents share their Rover experiences
Patrick and Karyn come recommended without hesitation. During the interview, they were incredibly thorough and could not be more interested in our pups, how they behave with each other and other animals/humans, health concerns, emergency preparedness, and had questions that I wouldn't have even thought to have asked someone while caring for their pet myself. Not only did they send the most adorable pictures, but they were incredibly communicative and left our pups an exciting surprise toy! I know my pups are in great hands and will absolutely be hiring them again whenever our schedules line up.
Jodi is amazing with Ozzy. She's very reliable and is always keeping in touch, especially whenever Ozzy is having health issues. She truly cares for animals. I'll continue to use Jodi's services whenever I need a dog walker or a visit. Ozzy absolutely loves his walks and looks forward to them. Thanks for everything! Always!
