About: I am very patient and gentle. I love all animals. I would treat your dog like my own. I can come to your home feed, play or just take your dog for a little walk break while your at work or out for the night. I have a experience caring for dogs while parents are on vacation.

Being home full time enables me to have a flexible schedule. I’m available seven days a week for boarding, drop- in visits or dog walks. At my home we have a fenced-in small patio and plenty of time and space in my neighborhood to take pets on walks to provide daily exercise.

About: 🐶 I know how it feels to be super excited for an event or a trip with just one thing dampening that excitement—worry about your baby’s safety and well-being while you’re gone. It is my pleasure and privilege to care for your dog(s) like they are my own so you can enjoy your time and travel with peace of mind. 🐶 I’ve been a dog lover and animal caretaker my entire life. As a child, I grew up with dogs, cats, fish, lizards, ducks, and even rats, learning to carefully care for each species and individual animal based on their needs. As an adult, I have adopted 2 dogs of my own, including a senior pup with demanding health needs, and a rescue pup found abandoned roadside in Puerto Rico. 🐶 I have also fostered many dogs of various breeds, temperaments, and sizes through a local rescue in my area. I understand that each animal is an individual with unique needs, likes, and dislikes, and take the time to get to know each dog I care for. 🐶 I have experience caring for puppies, senior dogs, dogs with trauma, dogs with medical needs, high-energy dogs, reactive dogs, and fearful dogs. 🐶 Caring for dogs isn’t just a “side job” for me—it’s something that brings joy and meaning to my life. I am passionate about animal welfare and well-being and believe every day should be the best day of a dog’s life! • I work from home and have total flexibility in terms of when I complete that work, so your dog’s needs can always come first! My day revolves around your baby 🥰 • Your dog can be outside as often as they wish (and you allow), whether it’s sniffing in the yard, playing fetch or tug of war, or going on walks • Your dog will be able to go in/out of the house for potty breaks, playtime, or rest any time they like • I always supervise dogs in the backyard at all times, on top of having a full fence, so you never need to worry about things like your dog eating something unsafe or trying to escape • Also available for visits at your home, walks in your neighborhood, and doggy daycare! See all my services offered on my profile. 🐕 I have a large, fully-fenced yard filled with toys, interesting smells, and plenty of squirrel and bird watching! 🐕 If your dog enjoys walks or trips to the park, I live on a beautiful and safe low-traffic block and have several dog-friendly parks nearby that we can visit during your pup’s stay, with your permission. 🐕 My dog, Pearl, a 2-year-old mixed breed medium-sized girl, will be overjoyed to keep your pup company, share her many toys, and play play play! She is also happy (and trained) to give your dog space if that is the pup’s preference - I have enough space in my home that dogs can relax separately from one another if they prefer that. 🐕 No need to bring your dog’s bed, we have plenty! The couch is all theirs too! I can also gate off rooms and/or crate your dog at any time if that is what you or your dog needs or prefers. 🐕 A safe environment for your dog is maintained here at all times and is of the utmost importance‼️: —dogs are never left unsupervised —my home is free of choking hazards —play with toys & with other dogs is always carefully monitored —I do not keep any items in the home that are dangerous for a dog to ingest (xylitol, poisonous plants, etc.)

About: My love for dogs started at the age of 7. Ever since then, I'm always looking for dogs from neighbors, friends, family, parents co-workers etc..., to do drop-in visits, dog walks, and to play with them and nurture them in general! I also picked up a great handful of tricks on how to train and make a puppy obientant from the classes I took my puppy to for training. When I got my second pup, I've used the knowledge that I learned when I took my first puppy to training and it worked out fantastically! I'm currently an online student and flexible, so I would love to nurture your pets and to play with them! I'm available on weekends and weekdays for drop-in visits and dog walking, and if the service you were looking for isn’t listed, message me and guarantee I will best accommodate to it:) I have a fenced backyard and a great amount of space for your fur babies to play in. Along with toys they can engage in and have fun with and blankets for naps, so they never get bored and are always happy and entertained:) I also make sure to take them on their daily walks to keep them in shape and healthy.
About: I have worked with dogs all my life. My wife and I work closely with several local rescues to help all dogs in need! I currently have 6 dogs myself. We walk them daily and keep them busy. I have experience with puppies, seniors and everything in between. I have beagles, GSP, dachshunds, and a former corgi dad. I'm a stay at home dog dad so I'm always available for the dogs. I used to work midnights but thankfully I was gifted an early retirement so I get to dedicate my life to Dogs that need me. I share my home with six dogs of my own and occasionally up to two fosters, so caring for pets is the biggest part of my daily life! I have a fenced yard with a dog door, and since I’m home, the dogs spend plenty of time outside playing and exploring. Especially my very needy GSP who loves attention. We go on daily walks, and I even do some bikejoring with my big guy for extra exercise. There’s always lots of play, fresh air, and love to go around!
About: I’ve worked at a Veterinary Hospital for 32 yrs, raised/trained more than 15 puppies to be service dogs & have been doing Animal Assisted Therapy since 1993. I have recently retired, set up my house to be dog friendly and now I have plenty of time to spend with my dogs and your pups! My home is clean and dog friendly with a fenced in backyard. All dogs are allowed on the couch (if you allow that) and my lap (small dogs plz). There are plenty of toys and dog beds for resting:) I also have many baby gates if a dog wants alone time.
About: I’m an experienced, reliable sitter who treats every pet like family. From playful puppies to senior sweethearts, I’m patient, calm, and caring so your pet is always in safe, loving hands. 10/10 pets agree: I give the best belly rubs and ear scratches. I’m home all day to give your pet plenty of attention, playtime, and care. They’ll never be alone for long and will feel like part of the family while you’re away. At my home, pets get a safe, loving space and plenty of attention. In your home, I follow their routine to keep things familiar and stress-free. Either way, they’re treated like family.

About: I have babysat and pet-sat since I was 16! I would feed the neighbors animals and take them on walks. When sitting I took care of the kids and the pets.

I have fed, walked, groomed, and cuddled with our furry friends and love to spend time with them.

Tricia took a long job on short notice after a family emergency and went above and beyond for us. She also did a great job keeping me updated even though I was out of the country and coordinated with my emergency contact to make sure the pups were always in good hands.

Linda is a wonderful dog sitter, you can tell she truly loves what she does. She was so kind and caring towards our dogs and sent great updates. She was always on time and was great with communicating. I’m always nervous when going away and leaving our dogs, having Linda watch them really made me feel so much more at ease and I was able to enjoy our vacation much more because of her.

I can’t even begin to describe how awesome Sulayka is! She was so good to our dogs. We had to be away for 2 weeks and needed someone to drop in to make sure they’re okay. Our dogs LOVED her immediately! Even our rescue who is unsure about new people loved her. She spent quality time and loved on them everyday! We are so grateful! Thank you again, Suki ❤️

Kelly came by ahead of time to go over Cookie’s care instructions, even in the rain, which I really appreciated. She was punctual, attentive, and took the time to understand everything thoroughly. That level of commitment gave me a lot of confidence going into the booking.

I cannot recommend Amber enough! From the very beginning, she was kind, professional, and clearly had a genuine love for animals. It gave me such peace of mind knowing our dogs were in such caring and capable hands while we were away. She kept us updated with messages and photos, which meant so much and reassured us that our dogs were happy, comfortable, and well cared for. We came home to very happy and well-cared-for pups! We are so grateful and will absolutely be using her again in the future. If you’re looking for someone trustworthy, attentive, and truly wonderful with animals, I highly recommend her.

If you need overnight care or dog walks, you may also be able to book House Sitting or Dog Walking through Rover with the same sitter, provided they offer those services.
Before booking, confirm:
- the timing, length, and frequency of visits;
- the care instructions the sitter should follow;
- which parts of your pet’s usual routine should be prioritized;
- how often you would like to receive messages, photos, or other updates.
Not every sitter offers the same services, availability, or booking options. Review their profile and discuss the care you need through Rover before booking each service.
Key handling is entirely up to you and your sitter to agree on during the Meet & Greet or in the Rover app. Most pet parents in Ronkonkoma choose to hand over a spare key or digital fob in person, while others arrange a lockbox or unique access code. Don't forget to discuss key returns as well!
Every sitter on Rover is required to pass a background check before listing their services. This process confirms their identity and indicates they are not on the Department of Justice’s National Sex Offender Public Website or have any disqualifying offenses.
Beyond ID checks, you can review each sitter's star rating, read verified reviews from other pet parents, and see how many repeat clients they have. Every booking is backed by the Rover Guarantee, which includes up to $25,000 in eligible veterinary care. For more details, visit .

A Meet & Greet is a casual meeting to vet potential sitters and communicate care needs for peace of mind before a booking begins. Only sitters who have never booked with you before can schedule a Meet & Greet on Rover; however, you are welcome to coordinate one in Rover messages with sitters you have previously booked. This can be helpful if you have a new pet or routine you want to go over with your sitter.
Meet & Greets can take place in person or virtually. If you are booking with a sitter for the first time, we recommend in-person Meet & Greets to get a clearer sense of how your sitter interacts with your pet or the new environment.
During the Meet & Greet, you will have a chance to walk through your pet's routine, medical needs, and unique quirks. Take the time to ask your sitter questions about their skills and expertise, and make sure the fit feels right for everyone. Meet & Greets are a great way to prepare your pet and sitter for longer stays or first-time bookings. Read our tips for your first .
