Dog Sitting Rockaway Park

About: What differentiates me is the love and patience I give to each pet. I have experience with puppies and older dogs that need special care and shy rescue puppies. I treat each pet as if it were mine and always keep the owners informed with photos and messages. Pet care is part of my everyday life. I enjoy spending time with animals in the mornings and evenings, and I always make sure pets receive walks, playtime, and attention throughout the day. My schedule is flexible, so I can adjust to the needs of each pet and provide reliable, loving care whenever it’s needed. Safety and comfort are my top priorities. In my home, pets always have a clean and cozy space, fresh water, and regular walks or playtime. I make sure the environment is safe, secure, and free of hazards. In a client’s home, I follow their routines carefully, respect their rules, and provide regular updates with photos so owners can feel at ease knowing their pets are happy and cared for

About: In addition to pet sitting, I’m also a dog trainer! I went to school for animal science and I am a veterinary technician student. I ALWAYS knew this was what I wanted to do. I have tons of experience dealing with different types of animals and I’d love to use that same passion to help keep your babies safe and happy! I currently work full-time, but I am able to dedicate time to the animals being that they can join me at work. I’m available everyday of the week for boarding, but for other services my availability varies. I use crates to ensure the safety of the animals anytime I’m away. I also live with my partner who enjoys taking care of the animals with me.

About: I have been taking care of dogs ever since I was 7 with my first dog, I was walking most of my neighbor's dogs too. So I have experience with lots of breeds of dogs. I'm currently in college and the times that I would be available all day on Sunday, Monday, and Wednesday, but on Tuesday and Friday from 3 pm-8 pm. I will take care of your doggo like I was one of my own, also any instructions you leave for me will be followed with the utmost care to keep your little buddy happy!

“Vidaliz is awesome she took care of my dog like it was her own. She was always on time and never late. Vidaliz definitely loves dogs and I would book her again if I needed to.”

About: Providing dedicated care for your beloved animals is my passion. With 10 years of hands-on experience, I offer a wide range of services including pet walking, boarding, grooming, and day care for everything from dogs and cats to birds and bunnies. My approach centers on your pet's comfort and happiness through consistent routines and positive reinforcement. I maintain a safe, clean environment and practice vigilant observation to ensure your pet's well-being. I've worked at the Animal Care Centers of NY and I hold a Red Cross Pet First Aid Course certification and have extensive experience with senior, special needs, and challenging pets. I remain calm during emergencies, prioritizing clear communication and your pre-discussed plans. I am punctual, responsible, and compassionate. I truly love witnessing the unique quirks of every animal I meet, and I look forward to treating your pets like members of my own family. After the passing of my own sweet boy, I now have time every day to care for other furry babies. I'm available for sitting, boarding, and walks. Your fur babies will feel right at home whether at my place or yours! I'm sure to follow all training methods and dietary restrictions. I'm happy to teach your pet some tricks as well!

“Eleni was WONDERFUL with my 2 cats!!! I will definitely be hiring her again!!! Mochi has diabetes and requires an insulin injection every 12 hours in addition to another medication twice a week and Eleni was happy to learn and able to give Mochi his meds which can be a bit daunting and sometimes difficult depending on his mood. but Eleni was attentive and really took the time to learn and care for him properly! my other cat Kumo is a scaredy baby and rarely shows his face around people but Eleni was patient and really put effort into getting him comfortable with her. Eleni updated me with great details about how they’re doing and food. the weather was changing every day from being very cold and then very hot and Eleni proactively adjusted the thermostat accordingly when needed! she would turn on cat TV every couple days AND put treats in their treat games daily so they would stay occupied during the day. Mochi had an accident and Eleni didn't hesitate to clean it up and take out the trash. she really took care of everything!”

“Ariana was wonderful with Reggie! This was my first time using Rover, and I was especially nervous leaving him after recently relocating back to NYC. Ariana was communicative, sent daily report cards with updates and photos, and checked in to make sure everything was going well, which really put my mind at ease. I came home to a very happy cat and would definitely recommend Ariana!”

About: I have lived on a farm up until college. I am aware that taking care of animals is not easy. I understand that people there is a lot of care and patience that goes into their care. I have taken care of friend's and family's pets and have always loved getting to meet other dogs. Whether that is on Ohio State's oval and I get to meet a service animal or seeing my best friend's dog, meeting a furry friend always brings a smile to my face! I recently moved to NYC to pursue my acting and modeling dreams. With that being said, I am trying to earn as much as I can to support myself in the city, especially since I also graduated from Ohio State this past year. I will follow all directions given by the pet owners. I typically make sure that the pet itself is happy with the care I give, and if there is a way to improve that, I will find it! I am respectful of the owner's boundaries and will make sure to ask if any questions/ problems pop up. I am huge on communicating and will make sure that any issues are reported to the owner. Additionally, I will take extra measures to ensure that doors are locked and any entrance/exit I use it locked before I leave the house! I have a lot of flexibility at the moment so I’m trying to work as much as possible. I typically have auditions and shows at night but again, I have flexibility. I’m willing to work with you! I ensure that they have clean water and food at all times. I also love spending time playing and making sure they receive the affection they need via lots of pets! I also make sure that the space is clean and maintained. I will pick up after your animals and clean a little bit too :-)

“Mesta was awesome. We met before I booked her,she came over and met the critters. She's good with cats and my 3 liked her. Was responsible and neat and communicated regularly. Would use her again!”

About: I grew up with a medium sized dog and have watched my neighbor’s dog when they were on vacation since I was young. I especially enjoy shy dogs and big personalities. I’m currently working part-time, and have the most availability in the mornings and evenings and over weekends. I try to keep my schedule up to date. I provide regular check ins with photos of your pet and details on how they are doing. I follow detailed and specific instructions very well.

“Tiffany was always reliable and took wonderful care of our dog. She walked and played with our dog and even carried her when she could tell the dog was getting tired in the rain. She sent pictures to us so we could see how happy the dog was. It is very clear how much she loves the pets in her care.”

“Nini did a great job with my older cat Coco. She took care of feeding and care, all as we discussed. She also sent short videos, which I really appreciated. I wouldn't hesitate to book with Nini again. Highly recommended!”

About: Hi! I'm a lifelong dog lover with years of experience caring for pups of all ages—from energetic puppies to sweet senior dogs. I share my home with Ollie, my friendly and active 11-year-old Cocker Spaniel mix, who loves making new dog friends. I previously worked as a veterinary technician and am Fear Free Certified, so I'm comfortable administering medications (including injections), recognizing signs that something isn't quite right, and helping nervous pups feel safe and comfortable. I also have experience with basic training and love reinforcing good manners using positive, reward-based methods. I currently work in the animal health industry, but I missed the hands-on part of caring for dogs, so I'm excited to be back doing what I love! I also owned and operated a dog walking and daycare business in Washington, DC, so whether your baby needs a fun walk, puppy playtime, extra patience for their senior years, or lots of love while you're away, they'll be treated like part of my family! My schedule is flexible, so I'm available most days, evenings, and weekends—with weekends being my preferred time for bookings! I can usually accommodate requests with about a day's notice. Whether you need a walk, drop-in visit, or overnight care, feel free to reach out. Even if it's last minute, I'm always happy to see if I can make it work! Your pup's safety and comfort are my top priorities! I have one very dog-friendly dog, Ollie, and live alone in a one-bedroom apartment, so I can easily separate dogs if needed. We're also just a short walk from Prospect Park for plenty of exercise and enrichment. In your home, I'll stick to your pup's normal routine, including walks, meals, medications, playtime, and lots of love and attention so they feel comfortable while you're away.

About: What I have learned over the years: Routine grooming, eating and walking schedules are what keeps happy, healthy cuties! 🎀 Not only can we really connect and understand our pets but they do their best to return the favor. Being a sitter that you can depend on with my punctuality, attention to detail/cues, and the natural ability to show up as a friend for your pet!:) ✨✨ I’m a traveling artist with ✨Open Availability ✨. I work with you ahead of time so that we can always stay aligned in time management. Reliability when there is short notice is no problem, we can work something out! Staying as specific to your house routine with your baby is whats important and keeps the flow of sitting a subtle and enjoyable journey. I also would love to bring toys or gifts for pets as we get acquainted. Getting to know each of my clients formally will keep a great relationship overall.

About: My siblings would ask me to babysit their dogs while they were away, and I always made it a point to leave their homes as I found it. I’ve worked in childcare and taught karate for three years now (not saying is the same thing) so your pet will be receiving the attention and play they need. Karate lessons too if they’d like🙌! I work part time at a martial arts school. Tuesday and Thursday nights I am working for certain. Throughout the day I’m available to walk/babysit/etc. I have work on my laptop so I can take whatever I need to a home and house sit at the same time. I always want to keep an eye on them, making frequent checks to see how they’re doing. I’d like to be informed of any quirks or habits I should be aware of so the pet is comfortable and receives the best care possible. If they want to play, I’m so ready to play!

“Lindsey is the best dog sitter/walker/caretaker ever!! My dog loves them so much and felt so comfortable. Arrived early and was super active with Nelly (playing, walking, willing to do longer drop-ins). Anyone would be lucky to have this kind of personalized care for their pet!”

“Giovanna helped feed and play with my two energetic cats while I was out of town. She was very reliable and quick with communication so I didn’t have to worry about anything.”

About: I have been a in-home pet sitter for the past six years for a medium size dog who had special needs as a puppy. I also am a pet photographer and have done pet portraits and holiday cards! I recently lost my beloved dog Zoey, who I had for over 12 years. I love dogs deeply, and welcome them into my home. I am available on a part time basis with more availability during the summer months. Weekends are ideal but I can be available after 5pm on weekdays or early morning. I live in a pet friendly apartment building, in a dog friendly neighborhood! My apartment is in the smaller side but dog and cat safe!

About: I’ve always loved animals and feel very comfortable caring for dogs of all personalities and sizes. While I’m newer to professional pet sitting, I’m responsible, patient, attentive, and will treat your pet like they’re my own. I’m happy to follow your pet’s normal routine, including feeding, walks, playtime, potty breaks, and lots of attention and affection. I understand how important it is to trust the person caring for your pet, so I’ll make sure to keep you updated and make your pet feel safe and comfortable while you’re away. I am currently enrolled in community college and have a few other part time jobs, I’m mainly looking for dog walking jobs. I am fairly flexible in my schedule so I’m looking to take on some cuties! My backyard is fenced but I’m not currently looking for bookings. I don’t currently have the resources to house pets in my home. I am however open to dog sitting.
