Dog Sitting in Rockaway

“Nicole was great. She stopped by twice a day to take care of my two large breed dogs. She was great with my dogs especially my one who tends to be a bit of a jumper. She handled them well and took great care of them and spent time playing ball with them to waste energy. I would recommend Nicole and would use again.”

“Christina was great! We had her stop by to visit and feed our cat this past weekend while we were away and it was great. She provided pictures, details of how he was doing and was kind enough to bring him a new toy! If anyone in the area needs someone to watch their pet, I would highly recommend!”

“Marilin is an amazing sitter! She went above and beyond. My dog is a little scared of new people and she took time to do an additional meet and greet, made my dog feel comfortable and was a great communicator.”

About: I have a natural connection to pets. If a dog gets out of hand, I make sure to remain patient so that they have a chance to reciprocate calm energy. Not afraid of accident attendance. Big time walker. I'm currently using this to fill in some time while I'm looking for another part-time position. In the meantime, I have a lot of time on my hands. Even so, once I secure one it will not stop me from taking care of pets. I take my dog on walks and make sure he gets a good play session in our fenced-in backyard so he isn't restless. Also a great lounger if you just need a live eye on the furball.

I have a fenced yard to protect my dogs and cats! We have cat crates and pouches to make sure they get some outdoor time.

“Luciana is one of those rare people these days that still goes above and beyond. I highly recommend her and feel fortunate my dog Lucky has someone like her to take care of him.”

About: Hi! My name is Xiomara and I love all animals :) I have been a pet sitter for a many years now. I’m very hands on and love to spend time playing, cuddling, running, and ensuring that your fur baby gets the attention they need. I have experience with dogs of all sizes, cats, rabbits, fish, birds, ferrets, and many more. Having also been a babysitter for over 10 years, I have encountered many pets throughout my time spent with various families and understand the importance of catering to the different and unique needs of each pet and their distinct personalities.

About: I have been the proud owner of my beloved dog for the past 11 years. After years of hoping for a dog, my parents finally agreed, and it's been an incredibly rewarding experience ever since. I thoroughly enjoy taking her on walks and engaging in playtime. Throughout high school, I began dog sitting, providing both daily and overnight care. I have experience working with dogs with anxiety, dietary restrictions, and specific behavioral concerns, such as fear of men. Additionally, I'm skilled in preparing homemade meals to cater to their individual needs. Pet care is a big part of my daily routine. I cook homemade meals for my dog both in the morning and evening, making sure she gets the nutrition she needs. I also take her on walks and play with her using her favorite toys, keeping her active and engaged. On top of caring for my own dog, l also dog-sit for other families, which adds to my weekly schedule. It's a fulfilling way to blend my love for animals with helping out others! When caring for pets in my clients' homes, I prioritize their pets' routines and comfort. I ensure that each pet's dietary needs are met, following any specific instructions for meals and feeding schedules. I provide plenty of playtime, exercise, and attention to help them feel secure and happy, whether it's through walks, interactive play, or simply spending time with them. I make sure to follow any behavioral cues, respecting their space and boundaries, especially for pets with anxiety or specific preferences. I also keep the environment clean, ensuring their living spaces remain tidy and safe. Regular updates and communication with the client are key, so they're always informed and reassured that their pets are well taken care of.

About: I have helped many of my neighbors with their dogs from house visits to just walking them. Being with dogs is a pleasure not a job. Having a dog is apart of a family and should be treated like family and nothing else. I have fostered dogs, 2 to be exact. One of the dogs was a puppy and was adopted 3 days upon arrival from South Carolina. The other dog was a stray (new name Lily) and with no information I took care of her and was adopted 4 days later. I’ve gotten calls or text from neighbors that need help in the middle of the night because there dog was sick and need help to get them in the car. I have an Italian greyhound that I have had since I was 12. By the way I a college student.

About: Hi, I’m Olivia – a lifelong dog lover, mom, and future Certified Dog Trainer. Nice to e-meet you! I grew up with my beagle Wictor, and that early bond sparked a lifelong passion for dogs. After relocating and starting a family, I stayed connected to the dog world by helping care for friends’ pets, and now I’m excited to return to offering services through Rover. I'm currently enrolled in the Certified Dog Trainer (CDT) program at CATCH Canine Academy, where I'm expanding my skills in behavior, training, and canine care. I’m also certified in Canine First Aid & CPR, so your pup’s safety and comfort are always top of mind. I understand how nerve-wracking it can be to leave your dog with someone new—I’ve been there too. That’s why I always recommend a meet-and-greet before the first booking and ask clients to fill out a pet profile. This helps me learn your dog’s personality, preferences, routine, and any special needs to ensure personalized care. **Why book with me?** * Currently enrolled in CATCH’s CDT (Certified Dog Trainer) program * Canine First Aid & CPR certified * Hands-on experience with dogs of all sizes, ages, and temperaments * Calm, confident, and knowledgeable in reading dog behavior * Walks are a full 30+ minutes for proper stimulation and exercise * Trustworthy, responsive, and treat your dog like family * Flexible scheduling and reasonable rates Whether your pup needs a reliable walker, enrichment-focused care, or a calm and experienced presence while you're away, I’m here to help. Let’s set up a meet-and-greet! I currently work and study part-time, which gives me a **flexible schedule** and plenty of time to dedicate to pet care throughout the week. Whether your dog needs a midday walk, overnight care, or weekday playtime, I can adjust my routine to meet their needs. I also keep weekends open for added availability and longer stays. My goal is to ensure your pup receives consistent attention, exercise, and love, without you having to worry about timing or coverage. Your dog’s safety, comfort, and happiness are my top priorities when they’re in my care. At my home, dogs enjoy a calm, structured environment where they’re treated like part of the family. I have a **spacious, fully fenced-in yard** that’s perfect for safe outdoor play, sniffing around, and getting that extra burst of energy out. Inside, the space is dog-friendly, clean, and cozy—ideal for naps, enrichment, and snuggles. I only host a limited number of dogs at a time to ensure each pup receives plenty of attention. All meet-and-greets are required to provide a good fit and smooth transition. I'm also **certified in Canine First Aid and CPR**, and I always keep a detailed pet profile on hand for routine care, medical needs, and preferences. Whether it’s fetch in the yard or quiet cuddle time indoors, I create a safe and trustworthy space that your dog will love.
