“Stephanie is sweet and caring, with a true passion for animals. She was absolutely wonderful with my dog. Upon meeting her and seeing her interact with my pup, I was immediately put at ease about leaving him in her care. Her dog training experience was evident. Would recommend and use again!”

“Anna was a wonderful sitter for our two cats. She communicated clearly and consistently, sending updates and photos after each visit. She was patient and attentive to both of our kitties’ individual needs, showing genuine care and compassion. She truly went above and beyond—we highly recommend!”


“Caitlyn is kind and caring ! She was punctual , and even arrived a little earlier :) Milo was very happy in all of the photos she sent me. I know he had a great time playing with her.

About: With over 27 years of hands-on experience in animal care, I have dedicated much of my life to nurturing, raising, and understanding the needs of a wide variety of animals. From a young age, I was immersed in environments that required consistent, compassionate care for pets, developing a deep-rooted passion and natural intuition for animal welfare. Throughout the years, I’ve gained extensive experience in feeding, grooming, administering basic medications, and observing animal behavior for signs of distress or illness. My approach is always centered around patience, empathy, and attention to individual needs—ensuring that every animal in my care feels safe, loved, and well-cared for. I currently have a beloved fur baby of my own, who receives the highest standard of care and attention. This personal commitment reflects the level of dedication I bring to all animals under my supervision. Whether it’s routine care or emotional comfort, I pride myself on creating a nurturing and structured environment for every animal. As a lifelong animal lover and experienced caregiver, pets are an integral part of my everyday life. My home is not just a place for my own beloved fur baby—it's a welcoming, safe, and nurturing environment for any pet in my care. Because of my personal commitment to animal well-being, I’m home the majority of the time, which allows me to provide constant supervision, companionship, and routine check-ins throughout the day. When boarding with me, your pet will experience a comfortable, secure, and engaging home environment—both indoors and outdoors. Inside, pets enjoy a cozy, climate-controlled space where they are treated like family. I maintain a clean and organized home, with designated pet-friendly areas for rest, play, and feeding. Whether your fur baby prefers quiet time or interactive play, I tailor the indoor experience to meet their individual needs, including any special care routines or accommodations. Outdoors, your pet will have access to a fully fenced-in yard—perfect for safe exploration, exercise, and fresh air. The space is ideal for dogs who love to run, play fetch, or simply lounge in the sun. Supervised outdoor time is incorporated into the daily routine, ensuring plenty of opportunities for physical activity and mental stimulation. In addition, I have a friendly, well-socialized dog who can serve as a playful companion if your pet enjoys the company of others. However, I also understand that not all pets are social butterflies, and I am fully prepared to keep them separated to ensure a calm and stress-free environment for everyone. Whether your pet thrives on companionship or prefers their own space, I adapt to what makes them most comfortable and secure.

“Our dogs can be a little difficult. Two of them are seniors and one is a rescue puppy who is very insecure. Don did an exceptional job of taking care of them and we’re grateful to him for his conscientious care of our babies.”


About: Being a dog owner of 15 years, while having many other wonderful pets I have always been around animals. Whether it is my own or my relatives pets and my friends pets as well. I always had an inclination to want to help and care for their animals if they ever needed help because I understand that they are family to us and I am someone who will care for your animal as if it were my very own. I work full time. I get back from work usually between 4:15pm and 4:45pm. But that doesn’t mean I won’t take the time out of my day to take great care of your pets! I am available Monday-Friday 5pm and 10pm. Saturdays 11am-5pm Sundays 10pm-6pm I value respecting one’s pet or pets as if they are family. I will treat your pet/s with respect, love, and care. I will do exactly the same In regards to respecting your home, belongings and privacy.

“Julina is amazing and I wish I could give her 100 stars. She's taken care of my Samoyed previously and always done an amazing job. She's responsive, friendly, and sends frequent updates including photos. My dog is always well cared for when return. But I am especially grateful to her for her dependability, flexibility, and kindness. I was recently admitted to the hospital due to a medical emergency for a full week, and so caring for my dog during that time was a huge stress. I eventually reached out to Julina, and despite the immediacy of my request, she was more than willing to help. Words cannot express how much of a relief it was to know that my dog was being taken care of by great hands while I was in the hospital, and the photos she sent always brightened my day.”


“This was our first booking with Patricia and we're really happy with how everything went. She's exactly what we were looking for in a cat sitter and we will definitely be booking her again in the future. She handled everything we asked for and then some. It was a relief to know that our cats were being well looked after twice a day. We also really appreciated the updates and pictures she sent after her visits. Highly recommended!”


“Gloria, Thanks so very much for your professionalism and kindness! We appreciate Sarah taking good care of our sweet Kyra ?, while we were traveling out of country for vacation. We look forward to working with you again!”


About: Hi! My name is Ally, and I’ve been a trusted caregiver for both children and dogs for over 14 years. I live in Oceanside with two other adults and my 10-pound Shorkie, who is the light of my life. Being a pet parent myself for over a decade, I understand just how important it is to feel confident that your pup is safe, loved, and well cared for when you’re away. I primarily dog-sat in California before moving to New York to attend school and work full-time as a babysitter. Now, I’m excited to offer dog sitting services again – both in my home and yours! 🐾 In-Home Dog Sitting (Small Dogs Only): Because of my own small pup, I can only welcome small dogs into my home for boarding. My girl is not spayed so I will only be accepting neutered males at this time. I offer a cozy, calm, and loving environment where your dog will feel like part of the family. 🐾 House Sitting & Drop-Ins: If your dog is more comfortable staying in their own home, I also offer house sitting or drop-in visits. I’m experienced, reliable, and always respectful of your space and your pet’s routine. Whether your dog needs cuddles, walks, or just a calm, caring presence, I’m here to help. Feel free to message me with any questions or to schedule a meet-and-greet! — Ally 🐾 Oceanside, NY **Use this link for $20 off your first booking: https://www.rover.com/sit/allya09846 ** My schedule is flexible, and I’m often home throughout the day, which allows me to give dogs plenty of attention, outdoor time, and affection. I structure my day around their needs, making sure they’re safe, stimulated, and snuggled. Whether it’s potty breaks, playtime, or cuddles on the couch, caring for dogs is naturally built into my daily rhythm. When dogs stay in my home, I provide a calm, clean, and loving environment tailored especially for small breeds. To ensure safety for my 10-pound Shorkie and other little companions, I only accept small dogs and always supervise interactions closely. I’m also equipped with portable pet playpens for added comfort and security, whether for rest, separation when needed, or safe outdoor time. When staying in a client’s home, I’m deeply respectful of your space and your pet’s routine—keeping things tidy, consistent, and stress-free. Clear communication and trust are at the heart of how I care for every animal.

About: I have 20+ years of caring for animals of all types. My own dog was unfortunately allergic to grass and almost every type of food. He needed to receive weekly injections in the nape of his neck which I would administer as well as following his prescription protocols to the tee. As the general manager of several different Petcos and PetSmart's, I have amassed quite a bit of knowledge about many animals, especially dogs. I am a nutrition specialist, have experience in grooming, am knowledgeable of natural and medicinal ways to calm hyperactivity, and have extensive experience in many different types of training from proper walking, issuing commands, house breaking, interacting with other dogs, and multiple other aspects of whatever is necessary. If I cannot answer your questions, the trustworthy contacts I have amassed throughout my tenure at these establishments would be more than happy to help with their vast wealth of information. I have also had the unpleasant experience of helping dogs who are experiencing life threatening health complications and know what I am capable of, an also when it is time to seek medical attention. All credentials aside, I truly do love and appreciate animals of all kinds and can't wait to meet yours! I currently work part time and my job is a 2 minute drive from my house so your animal will never be left alone for more than an hour or less. I have a fenced in yard with trees on all sides. I live across the street from an elementary school with a massive fenced in field which is where I like to walk and play fetch and other games with dogs. I have been given carte blanche by the workers there as I have lived here for so many years so I can come and go as I please without any interference.

About: My name is Celine and I have loved dogs for all my life. I grew up with dogs from a young age and after much begging, my parents caved and got us our poodle mix, Snoopy, who gave us 14 of the best years. Last year, I welcomed my own fur baby into my home. His name is Samson and he is a golden retriever puppy. He is full of energy and love and he is the best thing that has ever happened to me! I’m truly passionate about dogs and dog behavior and know first hand how difficult it is to trust someone with your pet. You are in good hands! I’m a part time dental hygienist, so my schedule is flexible to help you care for your pets. I’m available for early morning or late afternoon walks and midday drop-ins. Every pet parent has their own personal set of boundaries, which I am happy to adhere to your pet’s needs. Personally, my puppy still sleeps in his crate and he loves it there. Additionally, he is allowed on all the furniture, but I respect all of the rules!

“Candice is such a big help and very professional. She goes above and beyond to make sure you are comfortable and your animal is taken care of. She constantly sends you pictures and updates each visit. Highly recommend her! She is awesome!”


About: Hi! My name is Myasia Bradshaw. I am a student at American Musical & Dramatic Academy (or for short, AMDA) studying musical theatre. When I am not playing Elphaba on the stage and casting wicked spells, I love to put the spotlight on dogs and make them feel just as fierce & fabulous! My first best friend was named Eric (who was a cute little kitty), then came Munchie, Max and Squeak who were all black Labradors. Squeak was my favorite because he had the most energy. He was a bundle of joy and I loved being around him. As a result of being surrounded by these adorable munchkins I’ve developed a deep love for animals as they bring me great joy. Not only are they cute and cuddly but they’re always there for us! They deserve the best care - even the little rambunctious ones. Interacting with any animal makes me happy. Regardless of whether they have fur or scales I treat my pets, and other’s pets as family members who need just as much love and emotional care as they do physically. This would be my third job as I work at my school as a Library Assistant during the day (from 8:45 AM-1 PM); an Usher at Big Apple Circus from 9:30 AM - 3 PM and as a live entertainer at night ( from 6 PM-11:30 PM). It seems like a lot but my schedule fluctuates surprisingly. My schedule this year (in school) is pretty flexible though. This semester we are auditioning and prepping for our showcases (live theatre performances) so times will vary depending on when they need me on set, and when they don't. Sometimes it'll be 6 PM - 7 PM or 7 PM - 8 PM. I typically work at the library 2-3 times a week, at the circus 5 days a week and rehearse everyday excluding weekends. I have never found my schedule hard to manage. I believe that communication is key in all relationships! Therefore if a set time is set in stone then I will abide by them and work around both of our schedules to make ends meet. Although I can’t board dogs because I live in a dormitory, I’m a very respectful and responsible when it comes to staying at a client’s home. I am a neat freak myself so by the time you arrive back at your home it will be spick and span! I’d love to walk/care for your animals and become their friend! The safety and care of your dogs is the number one important aspect in my book. I want to ensure that I will listen to any needs you or the pet may have.

About: Hi there! I’m Cher, a dependable and caring pet caregiver. Whether it’s daily walks, drop-in visits, or belly rubs and playtime, I treat every pet like family. I’m attentive, patient, and committed to making sure your pet feels safe, happy, and loved while you’re away. I’d love to be your go-to sitter for walks and check-ins! I recently stepped away from my 9-5 due to burnout so when I’m not exercising, journaling or photographing, I enjoy going on hikes or taking slow walks. Following pet parents’ guidelines, while exercising extreme caution is the ultimate way to ensure safety. I’ll always treat pets like they’re my own and that means ensuring they are out of harms way at all times.

About: I’ve have taken care of variety of animals. From bunnies to birds, to the smallest of the yorkies to the giants of German Shepherds. I I am currently a teacher full time. Available after school from 3pm -on. I am available on weekends full time. I can administer medication aswell. My pet at home is a Yorkie who is older and on a routined schedule. I am flexible to make accommodations to crate or what is necessary.

About: I’ve had dogs ever since I was 10 and love taking care of them. I’ve also taken friends dogs while they were on vacation whenever needed. I work midday so I can walk your dog before 11am or most likely after 7 pm. Even if you just need me to go feed your cats! I do have a fenced in yard but love taking my dog Nala to different dog parks in the area. She gets along with all dogs and loves to play.

“Emma is an angel here on earth. I am beyond grateful for her loving care for my 2 elder dog's. She is so professional and trustworthy and also goes above and beyond. Emma will always be my first choice. Don't miss an opportunity for a great experience with Emma. Love you Emma! Thank you!!”
