“If I could vote 6/5, for Jill as a petsitter, I would. I was leaving for a much-needed vacation, 8 days, and at the last minute, my friend who was to watch my dog, Kasey Jane, and my 8-month old kitten, Lenta (Polenta!), became sick. I reached out to Jill on Rover, having never met her before and she responded immediately. Jill jumped in and efficiently, pleasantly and with a true love of my beloved pets, saved the day! Jill also stayed with my two lovable furballs overnight. During my trip, Jill sent photos of my pets, further putting my mind at ease and allowing me to enjoy my vacation. When I returned, it was as if I'd never left - Kasey and little Lenta were happy and well cared for and my home was in the nice order I'd left it. I strongly urge anyone looking for a pet/home sitter to hire Jill!”


“Keoma is a really good companion to babysit your pet. She is very kind, and she loves animals. My doga loved her. She gave Buddha his medication, and she gave a lot of love to Tinder. We highly recommend her, and if we need someone to take care of our dogs in the future we will absolutely rebook her. She send you a lot of video and photos”

“Kenine took great care of our dog, Big! She is very attentive and communicative, sending many updates and pictures throughout the stay. We can tell our dog was well taken care of and relaxed with her. Will definitely keep Kenine in mind for future visits! 😊”

“John did an amazing job taking care of our two labs for eight days! He treated our girls like his own. He was excellent with her multiple medical issues, including, my girls, diabetes, which requires injectable insulin twice a day. He sent us constant updates multiple times a day, which included photos and video! He was so respectful of staying in our home and left it clean and tidy after his visit. I highly recommend him- he gave us the peace of mind to enjoy our family dream vacation!”

“Brigette has been a dog sitter we have been able to rely on continuously while we are at work. We are in the process of training our 8 month old puppy whom is potty training, crate training and is slowly learning to get past his anxiety of being home alone. She has proven to be patient and attentive to Ziggy’s needs as well as in constant communication with Ziggy updates and any questions she may have. We have rebooked her multiple times thus far and plan to continue rebooking her!”

“Chenelle was so responsive during her stay. She was available and always answered our texts. Our animals were happy, we received lots of videos, and the house looked great when we got home!”

“I had such a great experience with Jacqueline! She took amazing care of my dog and kept me updated the whole time with pictures and messages, which gave me so much peace of mind while I was at my sister's wedding. Chloe looked so happy and comfortable with her, and it was clear she genuinely cared. I would absolutely book with her again and highly recommend her to anyone looking for someone trustworthy and kind to watch their pet!”

About: HIGHLY EXPERIENCED WITH DOGS THAT HAVE BEHAVIORAL ISSUES!! Eager to work! :) I have grown up with, and helped care for, dogs my whole life. For the past 3 years I have been training my dog, currently with assistance from a trainer. He was fearful-reactive and is now an amazing service dog in training. I have been a volunteer at the world’s largest no-kill shelter for 2 years now. I have handled dogs of all ages, sizes, breeds, and temperaments. I have worked with blind and senior dogs. I have run puppy play groups, as well as puppy mill, senior, and teen play groups. some behavioral challenges in dogs that I have worked with include: fearful; reactive; food and/or object possessive; stranger danger; seperation anxiety; dog vs dog aggression; strong leadership; mouthy; and more i’m sure i’m forgetting. I have taken several extensive dog training classes to improve my skill and knowledge. I was the first 16 year old to reach one of the most advanced dog levels. I am very well-versed in understanding dog body language. I have dealt with sick dogs as well as dogs with skin conditions. I have helped get the neighbors dog to eat, as well as go potty and play, and dog walked for several clients. I also have experience with cats from the shelter as i have taken advanced feline behavior classes. I am able to understand cat body language fairly well. I have worked with cats as well as kittens, and cat sat several times. I can care for, and clean up after, dogs and/or cats. I will always respect your pets boundaries. I am currently an undergrad with the goals of becoming a veterinarian! I will genuinely treat your fur babies as my own. My dedication and passion truly is to ALL animals. 🩷 I am a full time college student. I regularly update my calendar to show my availability. Make sure to check there! Can’t wait to hear from you :) I will make sure your pet has fresh food and water, as well as making sure there is nothing clearly dangerous left out that the pet could hurt themselves with or eat. I will ensure everything is as it was when I came, as well as closing and locking any doors I used. I will dispose of animal waste as instructed. On walks I have a steady balance and strong leash hold to ensure the dog stays with me. I may carry treats with me for minor training/intervention (if allowed and if the dog pulls or something like that). If your dog is scared of certain things or creatures I will take precautions to avoid anything triggering to the dog. Lastly, I will certainly make sure the pet(s) feel loved, happy, and relaxed.

About: I have been a cat owner for over 8 years, super experienced with taking care of cats and love all of them with my heart. Also, I have walked my cousins golden noodle countless times, and he poops over three times on one walk! I personally don’t own a dog but I enjoy hanging out with anyone’s special loved dogs. I am currently working in a kids indoor playground part time. Aside from the days off, I also have availability anytime after 6pm every day. I will make sure to keep all places clean and clean up any mess if needed. Making sure the pet feels safe before engaging any activities with them.
“Simply the BEST! Our boys love her, I love all the pictures and daily updates. Morgan is so loving to our boys and i feel so comfortable leaving them with her. She simply goes above and beyond in care and communication!”


“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: My family has always had pets, and they just make life better! I've had several puppies, several bigger dogs (Staffy, Burmese Mountain dog), the whole spectrum. I've cared for a wide array of cats as well, of all ages and temperments. I don't currently have a fur baby as I have been travelling for work the last year, so I'm likely having withdraws. I can't wait to meet your furry family! My full-time job is hybrid and my days in office are flexible, so it's easy for me to block off an hour or two to be flexible with same-day requests. I have a lot of experience watching pets in a variety of environments; large properties, cozier spaces and overnight camping trips! I've been around a few escape artists as well, and know what to watch for and can predict most behaviors. You can trust me with your babies. ❤️

“Atxiri was so wonderful house sitting and taking care of our cat Fig! Kept us regularly updated with plenty of pictures and updates, and left our house in great shape (maybe even better than we left it)! Very grateful to have Atxiri as a reliable and trustworthy cat sitter and would highly recommend.”

About: I have about 3 years of hands-on experience pet sitting for family and friends, along with over 10 years of caring for my own dog. I’ve handled everything from weekend stays with multiple dogs to extended 3-week sits, and I’m comfortable administering medication when needed. I’ve also cat sat, so I’m experienced with both dogs and cats. I’m very active and love walking and running, so your dog will get plenty of exercise—not just a quick walk. I’m also big on routine and consistency, helping pets feel comfortable and secure while you’re away. Above all, I treat every pet like my own. I work a 9–5 corporate job, but I have a flexible schedule that allows me to incorporate pet care throughout my day. I’m very routine-oriented and start my mornings early with workouts and walks, so dog walking fits naturally into my daily routine. I’m available for morning, evening, and weekend walks, and I can also be flexible during the day depending on the needs of the pet. Staying active is a big part of my lifestyle, so I genuinely enjoy getting outside and making sure dogs get the movement and attention they need. Because I already prioritize consistency and structure in my schedule, I’m able to show up reliably and give each pet the time and care they deserve. When caring for pets in a client’s home, I focus on keeping their routine as normal and stress-free as possible. I follow all care instructions closely—whether that’s feeding schedules, walks, playtime, or medication—so your pet feels comfortable and secure. I also make it a priority to provide companionship and attention, not just the basics, so your pet feels cared for while you’re away. At the same time, I’m very respectful of my client’s home and space. I keep things clean, organized, and treat your home with the same care I would my own. My goal is to create a safe, comfortable environment for your pet while giving you peace of mind.
About: I have taken care of dogs, cats, and other small animals since childhood. I am available to house sit, walk, transport, and do other general animal care activities as needed. I treat all animals as if they were my own, and am so excited to meet your furry family member(s)! I currently have a fairly open schedule, save for a few hours a week when I am volunteering for a local shelter. I am flexible and will do my best to accommodate your schedule. I have experience crate training my own dogs, and have a fenced yard. I take pet safety very seriously and ensure animals are leashed and secure before leaving the home for walks. I am well versed in animal behavior. The health, safety, and comfort of your pet is my top priority.
“Samantha was so kind, gentle and caring with my Noelle, I could not have asked for a better “babysitter”! I am so grateful to have met her and look forward to working with her again!”

About: Hi, I’m Gianna! I'm a passionate first year vet student with hands-on experience in emergency vet med and general practice. I’ve worked in vet clinics and have two amazing rescue pups of my own! Whether it's dogs, cats, or pocket pets, I’m here to provide loving, knowledgeable, and reliable care for your furry friends. 🐾 Currently I am ending my first year of vet school and will be starting my second year in the fall, which means I will have plenty of time to drop in on your beloved pet(s)! I can provide house sitting, walking, drop in, etc! Your pet’s safety and comfort are my top priorities! With my experience in both emergency and general veterinary settings, I take every precaution to ensure your pet is safe, happy, and stress-free. I’ll care for them as if they were my own, offering plenty of love, attention, and patience while following the same safety measures used by vet staff. Whether it’s administering medications, monitoring their well-being, or simply making sure they feel comfortable in their own home, you can trust that your pet is in experienced, caring hands.

Port Washington pet parents share their Rover experiences
Antonia was great! She was incredibly responsive and flexible in scheduling our meet and greet, which I very much appreciated. Nia house sat for my dog and cat; the cat has CKD and requires extra care and Nia was on top of it. Nia spent lots of time with Teddy doing what he loves best - snuggling! Nia loves animals and they love her right back! Nia also provided regular updates, which I appreciated, especially since it was the first time we worked together. I will definitely use Nia again!

Andrew as usual was prompt, kind and communicative. He not only sends photos, he takes really artistic ones! I found my house the way I left it, the cats and dog well taken care of and all my requests followed to the T. I highly recommend Andrew, he truly loves animals and is very thoughtful and caring about their well being.

Zoe did a fantastic job pet sitting at my home while I was traveling. From the moment we met, I felt completely at ease leaving my dog, Emmett, in her care. She was professional, kind, and got along well with my shy dog. Throughout the stay, I received regular updates and photos and it was clear that my dog was being well looked after. I highly recommend Zoe to anyone looking for a responsible and loving dog sitter!
