“Lori was super reliable and a pleasure to deal with. She even helped coax one of my cats back inside the house after he escaped right as I was leaving for the airport. I highly recommend her and will definitely be booking her again the next time I have to travel.”
“Katherine has become like family at this point and we trust her fully to watch our cat Butterscotch whenever we are away/traveling. She goes above and beyond with communication, sending photos and checking in. We are so lucky to have found her! ❤️”
“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.”
“Ellen took great care of my two cats. I really appreciated her feedback on them each day, and her patience with them, as they are shy with new people. I will definitely be using Ellen for cat care again.”
About: New customers get $20 off first booking! https://www.rover.com/sit/tinay36247 I've had two dogs, three cats and worked at a non-profit animal shelter for a number of years. I love animals of all kinds and am excited to take care of your family member! I generally only take one furry friend at a time so that they get my unlimited attention, however, if from same family, I can take more than one. Please message me. During the weekends, I am always at home and around the neighborhood. We have several great dog parks around the neighborhood. If you do not see any available days, please message me and I will be glad to work with you! My schedule can be flexible and adjusted to suit your needs. I have a fenced in backyard and will be sure to always be available to play with and accompany your pet. I will send pictures and videos to update you while you are away. I am responsible and can administer medication if needed. I would love to meet with you and your pet(s) first before you make a decision on a sitter. During that time, we can discuss all of your pet's needs, eating schedule, bathroom schedule, etc...No play will be unsupervised.
“Chengjie is amazing! She was prompt, communicative, and most importantly, so good with our mini Australian Shepherd, Bodie. She was very attentive, caring, and sent adorable photos from their time together. We will definitely be booking her again!”
About: Lifelong dog lover with experience caring for pups of all sizes—providing daily affection, exercise and tailored attention to keep tails wagging and hearts happy. I have two dogs of my own (one chihuahua and one english bulldog) so I have experience with low and high maintenance fur babies. I'm currently volunteering at a local shelter catering to dogs of all sizes! I currently have a hybrid schedule, which means I'm home half of the week and usually free on the weekends! I'm already a dog mom of two so my dogs' routine is like second nature to me. I have a dog-friendly home including a fenced-in backyard, with tons of space for your pups to roam safely. My neighborhood is extremely dog friendly and I'm only 2 blocks from a park for longer walks!
About: My name is Jonathan and I am currently 27 years old, working full-time as a dog sitter, and living in Great Neck, NY. A former software engineer that's pursuing UX/UI design and loves animals! I currently have a 5 year old golden retriever! I have always loved dogs as I grew up with a Maltese when I was in kindergarten before getting my golden. I'm also very good at training through positive reinforcement and handling medium to large breeds. I also have experience taking care of multiple dogs at the same time. Lastly, I can easily tell when dogs are in trouble or need to use the bathroom,etc. My schedule is extremely flexible so I can accommodate most requests! I wake up at 9am everyday to let my dog out for a morning potty break. We then go for a walk at noon, one at 6pm, and one more at 10pm before bed. I have a fenced in yard that is locked at all times. I will be present in the backyard anytime the dogs are there and will keep an eye on them while they play. I will be home 24/7 while your dog is with me, and will be monitored at all times.
“Madie was amazing. The pictures she updated me with showed how happy the dogs were. Would definitely recommend her. She was great at keeping me updated even though it was just a drop in. Would gladly book with her again if needed.”
About: I will be providing best care To your furry friends. They will be feeling comfortable and have a loving home. Please rest assured for sure I’m home 24 x 7 to fit your need. I used to taking care of dogs and cats with my neighbors and Friends. Thank you. I have a fenced yard with full protection for your pets. You can reach me by calling or messaging me.

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.
About: I have my own golden retriever that I care for and have lived and cared for a golden doodle while in college for 3 years. I make sure dogs are well taken care of on walks and have enough enrichment time. I am currently available full time to walk dogs/do drop in services. I am also available for last minute requests such as walking or drop in services. I have a very friendly golden retriever that can accompany your dog on walks or for play dates during drop in visits only if requested. If not requested than I will walk your dog alone and come for drop in visits alone.
“Judy is amazing! She has helped me for three times in 2023. She is great with Tiger and very responsive. She kept me updated with how Tiger is doing, which really put my mind at peace when I’m away.”
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!
“John did a great job feeding and cleaning up after my 4 cats. He came at the times expected. John was courteous and attentive and communicated with photos and texts while we were away. I will definitely use John again. I felt comfortable trusting my home and cats to him. Thanks!!”
“Thanks Jeff! We're so glad to have someone in the area who understands and likes the temperament and energy of huskies. Our fluffy girls are always happy after you've walked and run with them.”

Caroline E.
“Caroline is the definition of a responsible, loving, and trustworthy dog caregiver. As a devoted dog mom to Frank and Colette for over eight years, she’s experienced it all from puppy energy to senior dog TLC and handles it with patience, care, and a great sense of humor. She’s the kind of person who plans her day around her dogs’ routines, knows every park within a 10-block radius, and somehow always has a treat or poop bag on hand. Beyond being a true animal lover, Caroline is attentive, communicative, and incredibly reliable qualities any pet parent would be lucky to find in a sitter.
