Dog Sitting in Rockaway Park

“I can’t recommend Jackey enough. She is truly wonderful, kind, and so thoughtful. She sent regular updates, photos, and messages, which gave me real peace of mind while I was away. She was always responsive and communicative. Most importantly, she was incredibly sweet and patient with my cat, who isn’t the easiest and is currently going through a lot of changes in his life. It was clear she really cared about his comfort and emotional well-being, not just the basics. I came home to a calm, well-cared-for cat, and that means everything to me. I highly recommend her to anyone looking for a caring and reliable animal person.”

About: My hubby and I have had dogs for over 13 years now. We just moved back from Florida where we had a huge property with a 15,000 sq ft yard - plenty of space for the doggies to run and play. Most of the pics you will see is from our time in the Sunshine State. But not to worry, we moved into a very nice neighbourhood in Breezy Point. We might have a small yard now but the house is large and it's right by the bay side, and the beach is less than a mile away! We love dogs and understand the great responsibility that comes with having pets. We have a strong belief that the dog's personality is based on its upbringing and NOT its breed, so ALL BREEDS are welcome! Pits to beagles, we love them all:) We are really down to earth people and love all animals no matter the breed or character. Responsible, flexible. Pick ups available. Can host your dog on most holidays. Your pet will have plenty of room to rest or even play indoors. We have a backyard with a doggy door so your puppers wont have to hold it at all! We are always home (have an online plant biz on etsy) and always supervise whenever the doggies go out in the yard. No crates unless requested or abolutely necessary. Day care must be booked 24h before the actual stay. All prices are final and non negotiable, especially during holidays and/or for longer stays. We only take dogs that are well socialized with both cats and dogs alike. All dogs sleep in the common area, a large open living room, there is a couch and plenty of doggy beds for them. Meet and greet with all new dogs is a MUST before any booking (boarding or daycare). Both I and my husband work from home and are able to provide expert care for your pets. We do not leave the dogs alone, aside from a couple of hours when we need to go to costco once a month. Yes, we are hermits! :) I have a dog and a cat, both are friendly with dogs. A small fenced up yard and a cage free environment. Last potty call is midnight and first potty is at 8am right before feeding time. Feeding is at 8-9am and 7-8pm.

“Shanna did an amazing job caring for my cats while I was away on a much-needed vacation. From our initial meeting, my cats took to her right away, which was such a relief! She was very responsive and shared thoughtful, detailed updates in each Rover card. I genuinely looked forward to reading them after every visit. It was clear she cared for Skylar & Jackson as if they were her own. I was able to feel at ease during my trip because I knew they were in good hands. Highly recommend!”

About: I have been caring for dogs ever since I can remember and in particular I started caring for them professionally around 5 years ago. I have yet to meet a dog I could not handle, even ones that people would call big and scary. I believe this comes from a firmly held belief that if you treat a dog right, they will stand by you forever. I am experienced with dogs from young to old, small to large, and docile to super hyper. I attempt to accommodate any and all requests to the best of my abilities. In addition I would be more than happy to meet a prospective client free of charge before watching their pet. In general, I am available nightly starting at 7 PM except for Fridays where I am unavailable. Wednesday nights and the Saturday nights I am available from 9:30 PM and onwards. Sundays, I am available all day. In general, I do not watch dogs in my own home. In regards to the pet Owner’s home I do whatever I can to accommodate all safety requests and needs.

About: (PLEASE READ CAREFULLY BEFORE BOOKING) I’ve been caring for animals for years. I’ve owned a cats and currently own two dogs. I’ve taken care of both dogs and cats by walking, feeding and grooming them. I’m currently working a full time job am only available in the mornings from 6am-1pm so I would gladly appreciate being contacted a few days prior to discuss availability. I will be sure to provide the best care possible for your pet. I look forward to giving them the love and attention they need and deserve.

About: With a genuine love for all animals, I've been caring for furry friends for over three years professionally here in the US. Back in Italy, my experience stems from caring for my own dogs, creating a deep understanding of the bond between pets and their owners. My services include feedings, baths, regular walks, and extra attention for senior dogs. Additionally, I have hands-on experience with senior dogs, providing them the extra attention they need, such as assistance with walking and more frequent potty breaks. Your furry friend isn't just another job for me; it's an opportunity to make sure they feel cherished, secure, and content. As I ease back into the workplace, my schedule is open and flexible, allowing ample time to prioritize and care for your pets daily. Your furry friends are a top priority in my routine, receiving not just attention but genuine companionship. Unfortunately, I can't board pets in my home, but I offer dedicated in-home sitting services. I prioritize your pet's well-being by maintaining their familiar routine, creating a safe and comfortable environment. I ensure their needs are met, from feeding and playtime to adhering to any specific requirements. Your pets can enjoy the coziness of their own space while receiving the care, attention, and respect they deserve.

“Keti was wonderful with my cat, I’ve never seen him so friendly with a stranger. He was the happiest I’ve ever seen him after coming back from a trip. She did a great job taking care of him and we couldn’t be happier.”

“Bernadette was so kind and thorough while with my puppy. She sent me updates of what they did and I got a cute little photo! She knows my puppy is having an issue with one of her legs right now so she took her on a small walk just to get some energy out still and of course for potty. She communicated well with me throughout the hour. She is also so flexible with availability! I would highly recommend booking her for your puppy or adult dog:)”

“Aleksander is a life saver. He made himself available with very short notice to drop in on my cat while I was out of town. He is friendly and conscientious.”

About: Animals have been a part of my life since childhood. I got my first cat when I was 8, later I had a dog, and since then caring for animals has always been a natural part of my life. I currently have 4 cats of my own, including pets with special medical needs, and I take pet care very seriously. My mom runs a rescue in my home country, so helping animals is something truly family-based for me. For me, this is not just extra income, I treat pet care as a serious responsibility, and I understand how much trust owners place when leaving their pets with someone. I have experience with rescue animals, senior pets, and cats with serious health conditions, including diabetes, urinary issues, post-surgery recovery, and cancer care. I am calm, patient, and very attentive to detail. Skills & Experience: 1) Administering insulin injections and basic medications 2) Caring for diabetic pets and monitoring health conditions 3) Experience with oncology (cancer) and post-surgery recovery care 4) Senior pet care (gentle handling, comfort-focused care) 5) Cat care: feeding routines, litter care, behavior observation 6) Nail trimming for cats 7) Basic teeth cleaning 8) Dog walking and general dog care experience 9) Experience rescuing and fostering around 10 cats 10) Reliable pet sitting for friends and family when they travel I always treat every pet as my own and make sure they feel safe, calm, and cared for while their owner is away. Pet care fits into my weekly routine on specific days. Right now, I am available on Tuesdays and Fridays, and I can do morning, afternoon, or even late-night visits depending on the booking. I already care for my own cats every day, including a very strict medical routine. I regularly check blood glucose levels and administer insulin injections twice a day. Because of this, I’m very responsible, consistent, and comfortable following precise schedules without missing details. Even though my availability is limited to certain days, I fully dedicate my time and attention during visits. I make sure every pet receives proper care, monitoring, and calm, attentive support. I always prioritize safety, routine, and a calm environment when caring for pets. I carefully follow each pet’s instructions, including feeding schedules, medication, and special medical needs. I have experience with cats requiring insulin injections, health monitoring, and strict daily routines, so I am very responsible and detail-oriented. In any home, I make sure pets feel safe, comfortable, and stress-free, and I always keep their environment clean and secure.

About: I’ve taken care of pets since 15. I gained all of my experience that I have today through taking care of neighbors, friends, colleagues, and family’s pets. I am a loving, kind, caring, and patient person. I learned so much from caring for animals, that I adore them so much! Also additional, I have experience with puppies, kittens, and senior pets. I’m currently a college student, my classes are held online. Which gives me plenty of time to spend with the doggies. My weekends are busy but I can do mornings only. Because the weekends are the only days I have to finish my college work. I care for my clients pets like if they were my own. I make sure to make my clients pets feel as comfortable and safe as possible, like if they were in their own home. I love taking my time to get to know my clients pets because each pet has their own personality! I also make sure to follow any rules or meal plans that my clients leave for their pets.

About: My main goal is always making a pet feel loved, reassuring you that they are being cared after without your presence. I will always tend to their needs and provide any assistance that is needed for your loved one. Your pet is my top priority, I can ensure you I’ll give them the most amazing time of their lovely lives! Though I am fairly new to professionally pet sitting, I can guarantee that I am a passionate animal lover and fully devoted to pleasing both you and your pet! If your pet has special needs that need to be taken care of, please kindly provide instructions on how to proceed in order to make sure your pet is dealt with safely and properly I am free almost any time everyday since I have completed my college semester and begun my summer, so I am available for any pet at any time! They never leave my sight, and I love to get animals comfortable enough with me to the point where they don’t feel like wanting to wander off without me. I shower all animals with love, and my love has always been reciprocated by our furry friends

About: Animal care is my biggest passion. I’ve recently graduated college with a degree in biology, where I often volunteered at shelters for animal care experience. I’ve taken care of cats, dogs, and even birds and turtles for as long as I can remember. My friends and family know they can rely on me when away for vacation to drop in and play with their pets, keep their pets company, and walk and feed their pets. I don’t think I’ve ever met a pet that doesn’t like me! So I’m so excited to help those in my community with animal care. I work on call only part time, so I’m available most hours of the week and some weekends. I would prefer early mornings or evenings, but I am ready for anything! In my clients home the first thing I do, in the case of a dog, is take them for a walk as it might’ve been hours since they’ve last been out. Sometimes I will let them in the yard if it is late at night, but I find longer walks will use up all their energy so they can nap well until the next time I pop in. Then it’s time for food and water refill, which if they’re reluctant to eat, I will wait with them to make sure they at least eat some. Then it’s play time/enrichment time where I try to get the last of their energy out. If I’m watching cats, I’ll feed them first and as they eat is my time to clean out the litter box. Cats also need tons of play time, so after they eat I’ll find any toys to keep them entertained for my time there. The hardest part for me is leaving them!

About: I have started dog sitting for dogs 3 years ago it's a wonderful experience. I still have the first dog I ever dog sit the owner coudnt take care of him. So I also have a trained dog that cares for dogs with me to so the other dogs see the example of my skills through my dog Murphy. I'm a fun loving women who loves dogs making sure their cared have fun doing it. I make sure they are on a regular routine by what the owner saids. I have a dog of my own and know when its time to eat , play and use the bathroom and show love I make sure I provide what they need. I follow what the owner gives me information about them. Let them play and enjoy themselves so they will feel comfortable

About: Hey there! I’ve been caring for pets for more than 12 years, mostly helping friends and people close to me whenever they traveled or needed someone they could trust. During that time, I’ve looked after both cats and dogs of different ages, personalities, and needs, and I genuinely enjoy spending time with animals. I’m also a cat owner myself, so I understand how important it is to know your pet is safe, comfortable, and receiving plenty of love and attention while you’re away. I always treat every animal as if they were my own, making sure they feel secure and cared for. I’m responsible, patient, and attentive to details, and I know how much trust it takes to leave a beloved pet in someone else’s hands. My goal is to give owners peace of mind and make sure their pets are happy and well looked after until they return home. I currently work part-time, which gives me a very flexible schedule and allows me to dedicate a lot of time and attention to pet care. This flexibility means I can easily adapt to each pet’s routine and provide consistent, reliable care throughout the day. I also offer overnight stays in pet owners’ homes when needed, so dogs and cats can stay in their familiar environment and feel safe and comfortable while their owners are away. I’m very responsible and caring, and I make sure each pet receives plenty of attention, affection, and supervision. When caring for pets in a client’s home, I provide a calm, structured, and highly attentive environment designed to support each animal’s emotional and physical well-being. I prioritize maintaining their familiar routines with precision, including feeding schedules, litter box care, hydration, playtime, and rest, in order to minimize stress and ensure continuity while their owner is away. I keep the environment consistently clean, organized, and safe, paying close attention to details such as fresh water, hygiene of feeding areas, and overall home tidiness. During overnight stays, I offer steady companionship and reassurance, ensuring pets feel secure and never isolated. I also closely observe each pet’s behavior, appetite, and mood, and I proactively communicate any changes to the owner to ensure full transparency and peace of mind.
