“Michelle did a great job taking care of Scout! I was very happy to get updates and pictures of him while we were away. I will definitely request to have her take care of him next time we go on vacation.”


“Jason has been absolutely incredible. We needed someone to let our 2 pups out 3x a day and we were in a time crunch. This was my very first time using rover so I was a bit hesitant. Jason came and met the pups and us before booking and right away he had such a professional and mature demeanor. So happy we found Jason and will be using him again for sure!”



“Staci was great. She made two visits to my home for my pups while I was gone for the day to take them outside and feed them. My boys LOVED her. She sent me pictures of them cuddling on her lap. I was a little jealous. LOL I will definitely be using her again.”


“Julia did a fantastic job with my cat! She spent ample amount of time letting him warm up to her and did a great job making sure my house was clean. Highly recommend her!”


“Tricia was wonderful with our 2 cats. We were away for a weekend for our daughter’s wedding so we needed someone that would care for them like we would. Tricia did that & more. It was wonderful to not have to worry about our fur babies while we were celebrating our human baby. Thank you Tricia!”


“I booked Lindsay back to back weeks for drop-in visits. Lindsay was so great with all 3 of our dogs. They were so happy to see her. She was on time, walked, fed and played with them and sent the best pictures. I highly recommend Lindsay and will be using her again.”


“Kayla did daily checks in for my three cats while I was away and everything went perfectly. We met up a few days before, and she sent me updates each day with pictures. She’s an excellent communicator! I look forward to working with her again. Thanks Kayla!”


About: I have a lot of experience with dogs and only a few with cats but i love both and i am very excited to spend some time with your pets! Available all business days before 10am and after 2:30! If you have something outside of that, let me know and I can try and figure something out! I typically can’t care for pets in my home because I dorm at Eastern University, but in your home, my priority would be the animals well being and also your homes cleanliness.

“Samantha was great! We had our sitter back out at the last second and she was able to help out! She got back to us very quickly and is a great communicator. One of our cats is very shy and we were worried about him not eating with a new person in the house but he actually felt comfortable and came out to eat with her there! Will definitely be using her again :)”


“Jaclyn has been my go-to sitter for my cat for the last year. She’s incredibly reliable and I always know my cat is in great hands when she pops in to visit her. She takes great care of her, plays, cuddles, feeds her, and freshens up her water and litter box. She always provides me a great recap of her visit too! Pepper and I love Jaclyn!”


About: I have a big love for animals, especially dogs! I’ve had a dog, more specifically, a German Shepherd in my life since I was born. I recently moved back to Long Island from Arizona for college so I have a lot of free time lately! I would love to get to know your dog as I am very patient and loving toward animals ❤️ The extra money would be nice, but I’m really interested in getting to experience different types of personalities through the dogs that I will meet. I have watched my uncle’s German Shepherd for an extended period of time as well as my brother’s pitbull, my German Shepherd and also my miniature dachshund so I know what it’s like to have a full house! :) I hope you feel confident to choose me to watch your best friend I am currently finishing up my last semester of college as well providing services on Rover, so I have a lots of free time and very flexible hours :) I will take very good care of your furry friends, no matter what the task. Whether it be taking them for a walk, feeding them or absolutely anything else that they need! 😊


“Jenna was absolutely incredible with our two bigger dogs who have a lot of energy! We received pictures and updates each day which made us feel much better about leaving them. We will definitely have her sit with our pups the next time we go away ?”


About: I’ve been taking care of dogs since I was little! I grew up with a golden retriever named Emma. Now, I have 2 pups of my own! Maggie (11 y/o, terroir mix, adopted) & Molly (2 y/o, teddy bear mix, bought). I trained Molly in puppy school & did in home training between both pups in order for them to get along! I’m currently in school & working part time. I have random open periods during the day that can be used to take care of your pups! Please message me for more details about availability. No fenced yard; however, I have very long leashes & heavy duty poles that screw into the ground outside so that my pups can run freely without a fence. I also live next to a nice park with some fenced dog parks! The park also includes multiple trails, including paved and nature trails. Due to owning an adopted dog with past abuse and anxiety (which is now well controlled by training and overall healing in a loving and safe environment like my own) I do not offer in home care just in case my adopted pup is startled by the presence of another dog. Because of this, I am willing to travel for pup sitting and services!

About: I started dog walking when I was in the 6th grade in order to earn some cash as a first job. Since then I have walked and cared for dogs quite often, staying over night in houses as well to give them my full attention. Currently, I am home during the week and am available at all hours of the week days. I have three dogs of my own; a westie, a bassethound, and a standard poodle. All of my dogs are exceptional around other dogs, I have never had a problem woth their behavior when I bring other dogs home to watch. I have a grass yard with plenty of space for them to run. I will give all dogs my full attention and love as I care for them, ensuring that they are not alone while their owner is away. I work from home full time and love the animal breaks! I take walks to break up my work day and love to bring a dog or two with me! I value my little fur baby and having her around throughout the day, and since I am home your pet can get endless potty breaks just like mine! I have a huge fenced yard and a very playful GSD. I’m also pretty athletic and can play with your animals as much as they need. I can come to your home for a walk and a play break as well. My care includes my GSD hanging out with me all day as I work. If she is not outside running around, she is laying by me. I have the ability to take 5 minute breaks to play with her and bring her outside. If you prefer a check up at your own home, I can come to your home and do the same! I have experience with diabetic dogs, senior dogs, and even a disabled dog who has no use of his back legs.

About: I love helping care for animals and have been working with animals for over 9 years, I was previously kennel manager at doggie boarding/daycare, veterinary receptionist/assistant, dog trainer. I am currently looking for a position where I can stop in and visit or stay for a few hours whatever is needed! Personalized schedule for each dog to benefit them! As previously stated, I’ve worked with animals for years and It is important to read their body language and make sure they are happy and comfortable as much as possible! I always treat your fur babies like my own with patience and love!

About: Hi! My name is Danielle and I recently moved to Smithtown. I have personal experience caring for small animals and dogs and I am comfortable with dogs of all sizes and breeds. Nothing would make me happier than ensuring your pup is safe, healthy and happy under my care. I love to be outside all year round and especially love a good sunset. My passions include traveling, reading, teaching (as I am a former special ed preschool teacher) and exercising. I am very cautious and aware of my surroundings at all times to ensure your dog and I get around safely and stay out of harms way. I like to send updates periodically while I am caring for your animal so you can feel as comfortable as they do! Can't wait to meet your pup!! I mostly work from home so on the days that I do my schedule allows me to have the time and attention to care for your pet. No matter if it’s exercising, playing or just offering comfort I’ll make sure they have the attention they need. Whether it’s in my home or yours, I will not let your pet out of my sight!

“Gabby is amazing and I would wholeheartedly recommend her! Gabby has been coming to spend time with our puppy every day (and she absolutely loves Gabby). Gabby is communicative and very helpful and I am looking forward to continuing working with her!”


About: I've had a great deal of experience with pet care over the years. I grew up with golden retrievers at home, and now own a six-year-old of my own! From learning to train him as a puppy, to caring for my friends and family's dogs as well, I feel confident that I can give other pets the love, attention, and care they deserve! I'm currently a nursing student, with most weekdays and weekends available to help care for your dog-walking, feeding, or playtime needs! I look forward to meeting your furry friends! I have a fenced yard and a friendly dog at home that gets along with other dogs! I have experience with both large and small dogs and are comfortable caring for both.
