About: I only accept 1 dog per visit, unless they’re from the same family. The pets I watch are never left in a crate, unless owner is crate training and needs me to stick to a certain schedule etc... I am fully dedicated and attentive to your pet. I am working remotely at the moment so I have a very flexible schedule. Private and Safe Care! My policy is 1 dog per day unless the dogs are from the same family and already know each other well is the only exception to this. Happy to schedule a meet & greet initially! -Large fully secured fenced yard. Will walk leash as well if requested. I am taking advantage of any time off to care for your pets! It seems many folks are vacation planning so it has been busy and I’m booking ahead right now. Secure your dates ASAP! For many years my travel/work schedule has not allowed me to have a pet, so Rover has been a great way for me to incorporate this back into my life. .

“We will look to use Samantha again to care for our boy as we get into sports seasons & attend games. We felt confident leaving him in her hands for time we stepped away for date night.”



“Courtney is awesome! I can go away knowing that my 2 cats are being taken care of by a kind, responsible and professional per sitter. She thinks of everything! Couldn’t be happier with her service.”


“Theresa was the perfect sitter for our Amber. She was extremely communicative, always prompt and went the extra mile especially during the 4th of July weekend where our dog doesn't enjoy the fireworks shows in the neighborhood. We could tell that she truly loves taking care of dogs and we would recommend her services to all family and friends.”


About: I’ve taken care of dogs, cats, hamsters, guinea pigs and fish ever since I was 10 years old. I grew up surrounded by animals and I currently have 3 cats and one English bulldog who I love very much. I have experience fostering cats and dogs and have been a pet sitter for friends, family and neighbors for years. I’m a college student home for the summer so I have plenty of time to spend with your pet!! I’m currently working part time so I will have plenty of time for your pet! I am extremely flexible and willing to fit your pet into my daily schedule. I treat my pets like family and will do the same for yours. I am extremely responsible, dependable and I am very respectful of other people’s homes.

About: I have been caring for a large variety of animals since I was 13, including dogs, cats, reptiles and small mammals. I have worked in various pet care positions including wildlife rehabilitation, animal educator, and pet care specialist. I have done volunteer work with local shelters and rehabilitation centers since I could work. I am known within my community as the "animal girl" and am frequently contacted for advice, care, and pet sitting. I am fairly new to this app, but am definitely not new to caring for any kind of animal big or small. I currently work at Stony Brook University mon-fri 9am-1pm. The rest of my days are usually open and able to be moved around to your schedule and needs! I currently do not offer services in my home as I have a dog who takes a while to warm up to strangers. Future opportunities may be available, but right now I am prioritizing her comfortability.

“Jess took care of my pup Leia while I was away for the day at a baseball game and sent me update photos each visit and some comments on how the visit went. Leia had a lot of fun. Will definitely use Jess again!”


About: I have been an animal lover ever since I was a child!

I love all animals and will feed any stray that comes to my door as well! I will care for and treat your pets as if they were my own. I work from home so I am available to take care of your babies while you are at work, out of the house or away on vacation I have a large fenced in yard, I love to go on walks and am responsible and respectful when in other peoples homes. I will care for your animals with as much love and care as you would. I will follow your pets routine and care for them as my own.

“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!”


“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!”


“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 :)”


“Laura did a great job checking in on my two dogs while we were out for the day! She feed them and made sure they were safe and comfortable. I will definitely call on her again. Thanks Laura!”


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!

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: I treat every pet with love, care, and respect. I commit to treating every pet like they're part of my own family.

I have experience administering medications and accommodating special diets, I handle every detail with care and compassion. When you choose me you can expect reliability, communication, and genuine love for animals. I can provide regular updates and photos so you can see the happiness of your pets while you're away and ensure their safety. Your pet will be in great hands! Please feel free to contact me with questions or for more information. I currently work a full-time job in education. I am available anytime after 5 pm on weekdays. On weekends I am very flexible. I do offer boarding but would prefer to keep your fur baby in their living environment to help with comfortability. I will tend to your animals and home based on your notes. If notes are not provided I will care for your pet and home as if it were mine, with care and love.

About: I take care of my neighbors dogs, friends cats, my best friends bring their dogs over and we all walk together. All of our animals were rescued. I am not working over the summer so I am very flexible during the day to help take care of animals when needed/ walking/ letting them out to use the bathroom. I walk the dogs on leashes, I only let them out when there is a fenced in area. I have a fenced in yard at home, that my dog goes out and plays in.

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.
