“Kelly was such a great caretaker for our babies and our house! She is so patient and loving; she took excellent care of everyone; and she gave us frequent photos and updates while staying at our house. We will absolutely ask her to care for our pets again!”


“Staci is wonderful. We just did a trial run for a longer trip and it worked out great! We have three dogs, one of whom is very difficult and she really was able to accommodate and work through his quirks. We also felt relaxed and appreciated her photos and updates.”

About: With over 10 years of pet care experience, I bring dependable feeding routines, fun activities that keep dogs busy, gentle but consistent discipline, and genuine loving attention that helps every pet feel safe, happy, and understood. Pet care fits seamlessly into my daily and weekly routine because I have plenty of free time and a flexible schedule. Running my Etsy business on the side allows me to work from home, making it easy to prioritize walks, feedings, playtime, and companionship. Pets get my full attention, consistency, and care throughout the day. When caring for pets in my clients’ homes, I make sure their space stays clean, tidy, and respected. I provide a safe, calm, and trusting environment for their dog, focusing on consistent routines, attentive supervision, and plenty of love. My goal is to ensure both the pet and the home are well cared for at all times.
“Hands down best dog sitter I’ve ever had. I’ve never felt more comfortable leaving my baby with anyone else. I received photos and updates throughout the day and the experience with dogs was unmatched. Thank you! Will definitely use again!!!”

“Another wonderful job by Amanda! Our elder dog Chelsea was getting over not feeling well and Amanda cared for her like she was her own. She gave lots of feedback and pics. Showered our Chelsea Girl with attention. Will book again!”

“Kimberly house sit our puppy and did a wonderful job! You could tell she cared greatly for the pup and gave them plenty of attention. She communicated well and we highly recommend!”

About: A dog lover my whole life, I have years of being relied upon to look after pets for friends and family. I have a senior samoyed pup (the one in my profile picture) and so I have experience with senior dogs as well as bigger/wolf/vocal dog breeds. I have recently moved back to Long Island from England, where I was a high school Math teacher for 8 years. I am currently not working as I look for employment. This also means I am DBS (background) checked. My partner Trent is also a dog lover and lifelong dog owner (most recently of a beautiful staffy girl), and he may help me out from time to time if needed. We have looked after dogs of all sorts of breeds, from dachshunds and frenchies to doodles and chowskis. We have puppy experience and a limited amount of training experience. I love taking pups for walks and am happy to walk for whatever length of time your pup most prefers! Plus, I’d be thrilled to take pics of your pup to send to you during the day 📸🐶 As I’m not working currently, I have as much time as needed to dedicate to your pup. I can travel at any preferred time for walks or in-home dog sitting. If coming to your home, you can rest assured that I am a reliable and trustworthy person who is background (DBS) checked from my time as a teacher. I will be respectful of your space and follow all rules/requests. For dog-walking services I am happy to travel to you and walk you and your pup’s preferred route.
About: hello Rover peeps! My name is Laboni & I’ve watched houses & pets for years. My boyfriend & I are the point of contact for friends, family, etc. because we genuinely understand that your pets truly are family & they deserve to be treated as such. I work full-time, but i can definitely stop in before work & spend nights taking care of those you hold dear. If you require housesitting, I can adjust my schedule to make sure your animals get the routine they are used to. My job allows me to work from home on Thursdays & Fridays & although I usually work Saturdays, if you book 2 weeks in advance I can watch your fur baby for a long weekend if need be. I take pride in my work & if selected, i will prioritize your animals :) My dog is pretty easy, I must admit. She just needs some attention & some space.. mostly space 😂 but I’ve watched dogs & even cats who are more on the needy side & I can adjust my actions accordingly. In the past, I have administered medication in the form of pills for dogs with heartworm - maintaining the schedule set out by my client. I have also dropped in on a clients cat who was more self-sufficient but just needed a little extra attention on occasion. Whatever the munchkin needs is what I provide!
“I reached out to Tricia in a bit of a panic as our normal dog sitting options fell through very last minute. Not only did she make time to help, she went above and beyond to make sure our puppy feel loved. Right from the meet and greet my dog took to her like she was part of the family, and my travel anxiety was immediately put at ease as she ran through her care plan. We truly can't thank you enough, Tricia! You were amazing in every way!”

“We've had Sharon over twice now to watch pets and house sit, and it's been a great experience. We come home to very happy animals. She's an all-around pro, and it's made it so much easier to travel.”

About: I have taken care of animals since I was 10, I have had over 8 different types of animals growing up. I am a vet assistant, which means I have hands on knowledge about cats and dogs which makes me have a very observant eye. I have done all kinds of animal jobs with mostly dogs, cats and horses from over nights, to walking, and daily check ins. My current job is seasonal so I have extra time to work helping others with their animals anf always find time to help. With my many years of experince and love of helping people with their fur babies I can be very felxable and understanding! Knowing how much your pets feel safe in their own home, I know keeping their routine as close to what they know is key to keeping them healthy and happy, and I want to make sure they can get the same love, care, and attention from me to make them always feel safe and comfortable.
“Jess was wonderful with our golden retriever! She was prompt, efficient and communicative which eased any worry we had. I would definitely recommend Jess for any dog service you need!”

“Trisha graciously watched my 2 older dogs at the last minute in my home. She was an amazing houseguest, and was incredible with my visually impaired dog who requires various daily medications. My other grumpy dog took to Trisha immediately, which is remarkable as he can be stingy with his affection. Thank you Trisha and we all look forward to seeing you again soon.❤️”

About: I have had many different kinds of animals my whole life. From reptiles, dogs, cats and birds. I love animals more than people. I know a lot about dog training also and can administer meds. I am very flexible and have a pretty open schedule. I can do daily check ins or even every few days. Whatever you need I can make happen I will care for the animal in your home. I can play, walk, clean, feed, give meds and am open to any care you may need.
“This was my first time boarding my cat and Hayley made it super easy and gave me much peace of mind. She was kind and patient, sent lots of pictures and videos, was super flexible with any schedule changes I may have had and was super welcoming! I can’t explain how grateful I am for her service and having someone I can trust with my baby for any future trips I may have!”

About: In this past year I’ve been caring for a friends 3 legged dog. She needs extra loving, patience and care that I’m fully able to provide to her and others. My weekends are always open. I’m able to accept last minute requests as well. I’ll work around your schedule. Please reach out to me with any questions! I don’t have any pets, so I’m able to give yours my full attention. I do have a teenager that might come along for a walk, just a heads up.
About: Hi! I currently have a 3 year old blue heeler/border collie mix! I love dogs and have experience with positive reinforcement training, dealing with dog aggression (toward food, toys, other dogs, etc.), and live a very active lifestyle where I can provide your dog with plenty of stimulation and fun. I can’t wait to meet your pup! My schedule is completely open as I’m transitioning into dog sitting on a more full time basis. I’m available for early mornings or late nights. Whatever you need! I believe in keeping dogs mentally and physically stimulated using toys, treats, and exercise. I will take your dog on walks and/or let them run around in the yard, whichever they prefer. I also like to walk trails and sometimes go on runs if the weather allows, so I’m always up for that too if your dog is!

Kelly took care of my two cats while I was away for a week. My cats each have their own personality quirks and one of my cats needs medication twice daily, and he’s not the easiest about it. Kelly was fantastic. She took such good care of them and I could tell they were well loved while I was away. Kelly is timely and attentive with communication and pays a lot of attention to detail, and it’s clear she simply adores animals. I highly recommend her and would have her back in a heartbeat.
Melanie and Anthony are incredible. I have never felt so comfortable in my life as I do with them. My 4 furbabies absolutely love them and I got the best pictures ever. I will never use anyone else as long as they are around. They always kept in contact with me and always gave me updates with incredible pictures. I highly recommend them. I wish I could give 10 stars! ⭐️

Our first pet sitter backed out at the last minute before our holiday vacation and Lauren was able to house sit and watch our babies without issue. She kept in touch with updates the whole time and tended to some other needed tasks around the house while we were gone. She was a lifesaver and I totally recommend using her! She gave our pets the attention and affection they needed while we were away.

This was my first time boarding my cat and Hayley made it super easy and gave me much peace of mind. She was kind and patient, sent lots of pictures and videos, was super flexible with any schedule changes I may have had and was super welcoming! I can’t explain how grateful I am for her service and having someone I can trust with my baby for any future trips I may have!
