Pet Sitting in Rockaway

“This was the first time our puppy had a pet sitter, and Liam was great! He was communicative, on time, and helped reinforce training and manners. Our puppy was extremely excited to see him when he arrived, and I'm sure will be looking forward to the next time he visits!”

“Brian's been great with our pit bull who's a little headstrong and uses to be a terrror to walk but he's gotten much better. Also he never liked men but took to Brian in a meet n greet and waa great with him from there on out. This is the second time we've used Brian and I'd highly recommend!!!!”

“Blair did a great job attending our two kitties for a 7 day vacation! He dropped by twice a day for 30 minutes- gave the cats food, treats, cleaned their litter and played with them! He was very responsive and sent us pictures and videos of the cats daily. It was my first time leaving my babies, but Blair helped to assuage my guilt of leaving them, by taking care of them so well! I would hire Blair again for our next vacation. Thanks so much Blair!”

Emily C.

“You are awesome!!!”

About: I am a dog mom currently without a dog. I lost my soul dog, Bogart, in 2023 after having him from 10 weeks old to just shy of his 14th birthday. He was so spoiled, everyone we know can confirm. During his last few years, he suffered from a collapsed trachea so we went through many health phases. He lived three years past when the vet said we would probably lose him. I feel that’s due to my love and care. I’m also the person at friends and family’s houses that their pets flock too. Dogs, and even cats, just know I’m an animal lover. I would love to love on your furry child. I’m currently a self employed cake baker and decorator with lots of time on my hands. I may even bring some fresh baked doggy treats for your pet, assuming you’re ok with it. My dog Bogart used to love his peanut butter, banana, and pumpkin treats. I’m willing to do whatever works for your pet and your home. I’m used to crate training but if you need a stay over night visit, I’m fine with your dog sleeping in bed if that’s what they are used to. I’m there to keep them company, keep them safe and keep them loved.

“I cannot speak more highly of Marilyn!!!!!! She is THE BEST dog sitter I could ever, EVER ask for!!!!! No others compare!!!! Not only is she so gentle and responsible with my dog, but she goes above and beyond what is asked for; taking him to the nearby playground for fun times, relaxing in the sun, cuddling and loving on him in my home, sweetly playing with his favorite toys, even taking selfies to show me how much she cares for him. It literally brings tears to my eyes seeing these pictures because of how safe I feel Mickey is and how wonderful she is!!! She follows instructions to the tee and she’s perfect!! I adore her!!! Please use her!!!! Your puppy will have another mommy 🤗🐶❤️”

About: (UPDATED 07/25) Hi there! I'm Jess. I've been working through Rover for 7 years now. Presently, I offer house sitting, drop-ins, and walks. Previously, my days were filled with doggy day care (3 repeat, regular clients) and overnight boarding. For the safety of my cat and your animal, I can no longer offer day care and boarding. I work remotely in media management for a television streaming service which provides me the fortunate flexibility throughout the day to watch and care for your dogs. Your dog (or dogs!) will be in quality hands, as they are my number one priority while you enjoy your vacation, business trip, or just need a last minute sitter! I get it! You will receive timely updates as requested. As a pet owner myself, I empathize with the need to have someone reliable, trust-worthy, smart and caring. I exercise a level of care no less than I would expect for my pet. I work remotely (Monday - Friday) for a job where I can devote ample time to your dog(s). Able to walk/take out every 2 hours, if necessary. In the nicer weather, I work outside with them. No matter what, I always ensure your dog(s) are comfortable, safe, and their needs are met as if they were my own. I feel grateful to be in a flexible position in order to help you! On the weekends, I can definitely be more adventurous with your dog. I gather information from you (if not already provided), especially before staying in your home (behaviors, feeding, outside/walking schedules, training, sleeping, kenneling, restrictions, emergency care, etc). I'm extra attentive to your dog's behavior if I am new, since they're just getting to trust me. I keep their routine as normal as possible and provide a safe, playful environment while you are away.

About: I love animals and especially dogs and have worked as a volunteer at the local kennel where I would walk, feed, and overall provide love and companionship to the dogs in the kennel. I became a foster mom with a local rescue about three years ago where I take in dogs rescued from high kill shelters into my home and provide them with a safe and loving environment while awaiting their adoption. It’s been such a privilege to be part of the rescue journey and have had the opportunity to see the improvement of many dogs from sad and neglected to happy and trusting! I take pet care seriously and care for all the dogs as if they were my own. I currently work from home so can provide plenty of exercise and consistent care. I am also available throughout the week and weekend for walks and visits. I have a fenced in yard for play and exercise. I also abide by a consistent routine for food and exercise. I will care for them as if they were my own and follow any specific instructions to ensure your pet is as happy as possible. I have a seven year old shepherd and a three year old rat terrier mix who are both very friendly and love to play with other dogs!

“June took amazing care of our two kitties while we were gone for a week. she was reliable, thorough and caring. she paid attention to details and helped ease our minds while we were away! thanks June !”

About: I have taken. Are of dogs and cats since I was a 10 and professionally as an adult at Morris Animal Inn in Enrichment Department. I work at a cat boarding facility in the mornings and was a senior staff member working with both dogs and cats of all ages and activity levels at Morris Animal Inn. I am very comfortable and experience with cats of all temperaments and dogs of all sizes, breeds, age, and any activity level as an athlete.

About: We have been dog sitting for the last 3 years for our closest friends and family and now want to open our home to your dog. We have a completely fenced in yard and aim to make your special pet our beloved fur baby for the time you need to be away. We have two children who are 13 and 10 and love all animals and want to give you complete peace of mind that your dog will be the king/queen of our castle while you are away! I work from home most days. When I do have to report to my office, I am never out for more than 2-3 hours and my office is only 5 minutes away. We ensure that your dogs will get plenty of run time in the back yard or great walks in our quiet neighborhood. We know how special your pups are to you and we love to provide doggy updates or even special face times with our pet owners. We have a completely fenced back yard and our grass is not treated with any chemicals or pesticides. Inside our home, we allow your dog to be as comfortable as possible and treat them like they are our family pet for the time they are with us. There are no other pets inside our home aside from two very lovable Guinea pigs and we want to ensure you have access to your pet via text or face time while you are away!

About: I've been with dogs my whole life, ever since I was born dogs have been by my side. I am taking care of 3 dogs currently, 2 smaller dogs and 1 large dog. I am used to the way they act and how to correct behavior and also walk them properly. I'm very energetic and used to both high energy and low energy dogs. And I will be sure to give them all the love and pets I can give. I am able to care for your pets most weekdays, and weekends if that is required. I am usually free from 12- 8 and am quite flexible with these hours. I walk my dogs multiple times a week and also play with them quite regularly. I understand the different needs and wants of dogs, some are more playful, while others are more reserved and keep to themselves. I accommodate to whatever it is you and your pet needs.

“An amazing sitter! She was so thorough with her updates, messages, and photos. She went above and beyond to make sure our pet was taken care of!”
