House Sitting in Port Washington

“My two big fiesty dogs are very reactive to other dogs, but Beverly handled them with no problems, taking them for a long walk, and even encountering other dogs, but keeping the situation under control. Such a relief for me! I like to walk them, but am always worried to ask others to do that. I am very glad to find someone who can do so and keep them in check. They are all bark and no bite, but other dogs and people do not know that, so it is good to know that Beverly understands how to keep everyone safe! She is upfront, honest, and calm. You want her on your team.”

“John watched our 2 senior dogs, one of which needs alot of assistance some days. John kept us updated by sending pictures and we knew they were doing ok. It was such a relief to be able to go somewhere and know everyone was going to be fine when we returned. We definitely will be using him again when we have functions to attend. We highly recommend John!”

About: I have taken care of dogs and cats- near and far- for a while now. I have experience with all kinds of dogs and cats- breeds and size combined. I am available for dog walking/sitting any time before 9 AM and after 5 PM on weekdays and any time on weekends! Just let me know a little in advanced and I will do my best to accommodate you. I have a fenced in backyard, as well as a pen for my puppy to keep him safe and happy. He enjoys running around outside in the backyard and I know he will be safe because it is fenced in.

About: I have developed a deep passion and care for animals since I was a kid. I possess experience in walking and caring for the pets of family and friends. I currently work part time as a patio furniture delivery professional. Which allows me to maintain a flexible schedule with plenty of free time on the days I am not assigned deliveries. This flexibility works perfectly for pet care. As I can dedicate generous amounts of time to caring for animals whether that includes daily walks, play sessions, feeding, or general companionship. I have prior experience caring for pets. and I am comfortable managing their routines to ensure they remain happy and healthy. My schedule allows me to spend quality time with pets throughout the day. While I don’t have pets myself I am well acquainted with the needs of animals through my friends and family. I am comfortable spending time with them and can attend to their requirements, such as ensuring they are crated when necessary, while also respecting any boundaries already set.

“Keoma was the best! I couldn’t recommend her more. She took such good care of my needy cat and put me at ease about leaving him on a weekend trip for the first time. Keoma sent great photos and videos while I was away, and my cat was clearly very happy when I got home. I will definitely work with Keoma again!”

“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!”

“I cannot say enough about Ashley! She spent the weekend with my dogs and she was FABULOUS! The sweetest young lady. My dogs LOVE her (and they don’t love many!!). Ash sent me pictures all weekend, great communication- such an incredible demeanor with the dogs. I literally feel like for the first time in years, I can actually go away with total confidence and trust that my dogs are in the best of hands. She is really special.”

My Ziggy golden retriever is the perfect puppy friend for your pup!

“kyla was amazing!! she's cared for my dogs before, but this was the longest she's stayed with them. i felt totally comfortable being away, knowing that she was taking great care of my pets. she sent me photos and updates every day, which was super helpful. 10/10 would hire again!”

“This was the second time Amanda watched and cared for my dog Mars, and it went just as well as the first time. Mars has a lot of anxiety and she knows just what to do to make him feel at ease while respecting his boundaries. And most importantly when we arrived at home he was calm, like we never left, which shows just how good of a job she did. Will be booking with her again when needed.”

About: Hi! I’m Kim — a lifelong dog lover, wellness-minded caregiver, and proud dog mom to my puppy, Saint 🐾 Caring for animals has always come naturally to me. I’ve grown up around dogs, adopted through the North Shore Animal League America, and have experience pet sitting for friends, family, and local clients. I understand how important it is to leave your pet with someone who is patient, attentive, and genuinely loving. My approach is calm, nurturing, and intuitive. Whether your dog loves long walks, playtime, cuddles, or simply a peaceful presence, I adapt to their personality and needs to help them feel safe and comfortable while you’re away. You can expect: • Reliable communication & frequent photo updates • Gentle, attentive care • A clean, calm, stress-free environment • Plenty of affection, patience, and playtime • Someone who treats your dog like family As a wellness practitioner, I naturally bring a grounded, calming energy into the care I provide — and animals tend to respond really well to that. I know firsthand how much trust it takes to leave your pet with someone, and I’m committed to making both you and your dog feel completely at ease 🤍 I can’t wait to meet your furry best friend! Pet care fits naturally into my daily routine since I genuinely enjoy spending time with animals. I have a flexible schedule that allows me to give pets plenty of attention, walks, playtime, cuddles, and consistent care throughout the day. I’m reliable, communicative, and committed to making your pet feel safe and loved while you’re away. Your pet’s safety and comfort are my top priorities. I create a calm, clean, and loving environment where pets can feel relaxed and secure. I have a small fenced-in yard and live within walking distance of a dog park, as well as many beautiful local spots perfect for walks and outdoor time.

I also provide regular updates and photos/ videos so you can feel at ease knowing your furry family member is in caring hands.

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.

“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. ❤️

About: I’ve walked many dogs of all sizes and shapes, and I’ve also done overnight dog sitting at my home, including hypoallergenic breeds. I treat every dog like my own, giving them personalized care, attention, and lots of love. I’m reliable, communicative, and always make sure your dog feels safe, happy, and well exercised. Pet care works perfectly into my schedule. I am a freelance photographer and videographer so my schedule is pretty much free this summer since most of my work comes to me and I am free to choose. Whether your dog stays with me or I come to you, I keep their routine consistent and make sure they feel safe, comfortable, and loved. At my home, I offer a clean, calm environment with plenty of play, rest, and attention. In your home, I’m respectful of your space and follow all care instructions closely, providing updates so you always know your pet is in good hands.

About: I have always had a deep love for animals. I began dog sitting at age 14 for my mother’s boss, and within the first week, I successfully taught her puppy how to give a paw. Since then, I have regularly helped friends care for their pets when they travel, and I currently cat-sit whenever my time back from college aligns with their needs. While in college, I volunteer weekly at a local dog shelter simply because I enjoy it so much. I take two dogs out at a time to walk and play with them, and after accumulating enough volunteer hours, I am trusted to foster dogs for the weekend. Spending time with animals brings me genuine happiness, and I truly value the care, companionship, and joy they bring into my life. I am home from college for a month and have a very open Monday–Friday schedule. I currently work part time with DoorDash, but I am looking to spend my time doing something more enjoyable and meaningful. Since I have a flexible schedule and few weekday commitments, I am available for consistent pet care, walks, or sitting during the week. I always focus on keeping pets safe, comfortable, and stress-free. I follow each owner’s instructions carefully, stick to the pet’s routine, and make sure they’re supervised in a secure environment. Through my experience pet sitting and volunteering at a dog shelter, I’ve learned how important patience, consistency, and trust are when caring for animals.

“My dog is feisty and doesn’t get along well with nearly anyone, but she loved Sara! Very responsible and communicative in important situations. She stayed at our apartment and left it cleaner than we did! Would highly recommend!”

“Samantha was great! We had an unique petcare request and she was exceptionally accommodating. She sent us updates and photos and our little guy was well taken care of. We highly recommend her to other Rover-subs.”
