Karen did a fantastic job keeping us updated throughout the five days, sending daily photos and messages that gave us peace of mind.

About: I have had dogs my entire life 43 years. I have done pet sitting/walking on and off for about 20 years, I am pretty flexible schedule wise, able to handle multiple dogs. I will work to meet the needs of you as well as your furry companions. I am allergic to cats but capable of being around them. (Please tell me before hand so I can take allergy medicine) I am able to care for other pets as well ask if it is within my realm of care Capability. We can talk or meet at whatever is best mutually to interview and become aquinted with eachother and your pets. Any questions feel free to ask me I’m at a loss for words to meet the text requirements....lol My schedule is pretty open and flexible , I have my own business and make my hours work for me and the needs of animals I may be caring for. I care for your pets in your home , it’s usually easier for your furry loved ones. I have great references and 12 yrs of working in law enforcement.

About: I have had dogs, cats, birds and reptiles my entire life. I can handle all energy levels and know how to channel them accordingly to most breeds. I currently have a dog, Tiller! He is a 5-6 year old Black Mouth Cur rescue from Southold Animal Shelter and I treat him as my son! I have raised a few puppies to adulthood before him including my late Gimli, and have spent many many days with dog friends over the course of my life. Your fur baby will be treated like family and I believe that all creatures are allowed on the furniture! Life is just better with animals! I currently work remotely so I am able to give your pet 100% of my attention! I walk my own dog twice a day for 30-40 minutes and take him out for a “sun time” session weather permitting as well! I have a partially fenced in yard but I do have a short deck where Tiller my dog loves to sunbathe on his bed! I have an extra for a friend and am extremely careful with taking my dogs on walks! I have a very long driveway away from the road so it’s very private and serene where I live, the perfect getaway for your fur baby while you have to work or vacation! I can also (with permission granted) take your dog to the dog park if they are friendly with other dogs! If you are boarding with me, your dog is welcome to sleep wherever they would like as I believe animals are always welcome to feel right at home!

About: As a life long pet lover, I would love the opportunity to share my home with your cherished pet! We recently lost our Great Dane Cookie, so I am comfortable with dogs and puppies of all sizes and ages. Our fenced in yard and quiet dead end street allows for plenty of outdoor activities, whether playing ball in the back yard, or a nice walk around the neighborhood! Or if hanging out inside is preferred, we can do that, too! I live and work PT in the same town, so it's not a problem to get home for walks or potty breaks. My sister is in the vet medical field, and both my mom and aunt are in the pet sitting industry as well. I work part time about 5 minutes down the road from my house, so getting home for potty breaks or walks is not a problem at all. We have a fenced in yard, as well as live on a quiet dead end street. No other dogs live on any side of us. We recently lost our Great Dane Cookie, so we are looking for someone to love on.


“Lisa did a fabulous job of taking care of my 16-year old yorkie, Rocco. I was nervous to leave Rocco, but Lisa put my mind at ease and cared for Rocco as if he was her own. She was extremely responsive and sent me updates daily. I highly recommend Lisa!”

Shelter Island Heights dog parents share their Rover experiences
Lisa was amazing with my long haired Chihuahua, Glory. Glory was very happy for the 3 days, and I’m not sure if she wanted to come home! lol I highly recommend Lisa. She was attentive and warm and communicated consistently about how Glory was doing in her care.

Our dog was clearly in good hands with Lisa and we would definitely ask her to take care of him again!!!

Lisa was an excellent host when I found myself in a pinch on Eastern Long Island. From start to finish she was communicative, flexible, and very loving to me dog. Her home in the RV Campground is lovely and super dog friendly, and her own 2 beagles were so welcoming of my dog. Thank you Lisa for your tremendous help. Hope I’ll get to use your services again.
