Trevor was wonderful! He was very attentive to all our house sitting and pet sitting needs. Including bringing in our many packages and mail that was delivered while we were gone, managing our pup’s irregular eating habits and navigating a visit from the cleaners. We felt great leaving our Zoey girl in his care and highly recommend his services.

Amy was the best, we are so lucky to have found her! She took care of our large dog Luna who is very sweet but also doesn't know her own strength sometimes. Amy is great at handling all sizes of dogs. She kept us informed every day and took good care of our house too. We (including Luna) highly recommend!

About: I’ve grown up around dogs and have been caring for them most of my life, so being attentive to their needs comes naturally to me. I treat every pet like they’re my own; making sure they feel safe, comfortable, and loved while you’re away. I’m reliable, patient, and pay close attention to routines, whether that’s feeding schedules, walks, or just giving them the extra affection they’re used to. I’ll always keep you updated with photos and check-ins for peace of mind. I’m especially patient with shy or anxious dogs and take the time to help them feel at ease. My fiance Eric has also always grown up with dogs and was responsible for taking care of dogs and his cat while growing up and they all lived will into their senior years. I work full time where I commute Monday-Friday. Weekends I’m home. My Fiancé also works full time but he gets out a little earlier than I do. For weekend stays we are available to give your furry family the most attention and care. If there is need during the week I’m usually away from home for 10 hours during the day including my commute time to and from work. We will walk and feed them before we leave in the morning and as soon as either of us gets home will do the same and then again before bedtime. In our home, pets are cared for in a calm, safe environment. We live on the second floor of a house in a suburban neighborhood with sidewalks, which allows for safe, structured walks. While we don’t have direct yard access, we make sure dogs get regular walks, exercise, and attention. I also have a senior cat who is naturally shy and takes time to warm up, so I’m very understanding of pets who may be anxious or need a slower, more gentle approach. In a client’s home, I focus on maintaining your pet’s normal routine as closely as possible whether that’s feeding schedules, walks, playtime, or quiet time. I’m attentive to their behavior and needs, and I always aim to make them feel comfortable and secure while you’re away.

About: I enjoy cats and dogs as I have had my own, currently pet sit for my roommates cats while she’s on vacation. Cuddle puddles are my favorite pastime Evenings and weekends are preferred, can be flexible. I can do drop ins anytime past 6pm on the weekdays and anytime on the weekends. Emergency calls can also be arranged. I care for pets by slowly introducing myself, first by smell then when comfortable, by touch. I give treats when warranted, but ensure no over feeding/snacking. Lastly I cuddle with pets who are most comfortable.

About: I've had dogs my whole life, so caring for them comes as naturally to me as anything. When I got my puppy four years ago, I dedicated myself fully to his training and development, spending every day with him through those early months to make sure he grew into the happy, well-behaved dog he is today. I also have experience with the more challenging side of pet care. My older dog had diabetes, and I spent a great deal of time managing his condition, administering medication daily, and making sure his final years were as comfortable and loving as possible. It taught me a lot about patience, attentiveness, and caring for pets with special medical needs. Beyond my own dogs, I've spent years babysitting, walking, and watching dogs for friends and neighbors. Animals have always been drawn to me, as I have a natural calm with them that puts even shy or anxious pets at ease. While I'm new to Rover, I bring a lifetime of hands-on experience. Whether it's a long walk, a trip to the park, or just cuddling up with their favorite toys, I pour real love into every visit. I understand how much your dog means to you, and I'll treat them like my own every single time. I recently graduated from college and will be starting my Master of Social Work program at NYU in September. I am available all summer and have plenty of time to give your pet the attention they deserve! I'm currently based in Plainview, Long Island, where I'm free and flexible for any and all pet care needs throughout the summer. Come September, I'll be living in New York City, where I'll be available for drop-in visits and walks during the week, and open to extended stays on weekends. Whether you're on Long Island or in the city, I'd love to help care for your pup! Your pet's safety and comfort are always my top priority. I have experience both crating and not crating dogs, so I'm happy to follow whatever routine works best for your pup. If needed, I can crate them safely when stepping out, or leave them with a frozen treat and a favorite toy to keep them calm and comfortable, especially if they experience separation anxiety, as my own dog does! I tailor every visit to the individual dog. Whether your pup needs a long, energetic walk or a short and easy stroll, I'll follow their lead. I'm always attentive on walks, making sure they don't pick up anything harmful off the street, and equally watchful in the home to keep them safe and out of trouble. Most importantly, your dog will never be short on love. I'll give them all the pets, cuddles, and attention they could ever want because I truly love animals!!

About: Hi, I’m Taylor! 🐶🐾 Animals have always held a special place in my heart — I’m a lifelong pet lover and experienced caregiver with a deep understanding of how important our furry family members truly are. I’ve spent years caring for pets of all kinds, from energetic puppies to older dogs who need a little extra TLC. Whether I’m going on long walks, playing fetch in the yard, or just relaxing with a pup who loves a good belly rub, I genuinely enjoy every moment spent with animals. I believe pets thrive with love, consistency, and a calm, patient approach — and that’s exactly what I bring to every visit. Your pet’s safety, happiness, and routine are my top priorities. I’m reliable, communicative, and treat every pet like they’re my own. Whether you’re heading out for a day or a longer trip, you can count on me to provide attentive, loving care and regular updates so you feel at ease. I’d love to get to know you and your pet — let’s set up a meet and greet! I am currently not working and home raising my 2.5 year old son and my 1.5 year old pup! My son is in activities throughout the week but they don’t take up too much time. I would only be gone for about 2 hours a day MAX! I have a 6 foot fenced in yard with a large leveled patio and grass for your furbaby to enjoy sunbathing, playing in the snow, running and playing. I currently have a 1.5 year old female puppy named Roxy! She is an ANGEL!! She gets along with every dog. She is about 35 pounds, fully grown. I also have a 2.5 year old son who calls Roxy his “sissy”. He, like his mother is a huge animal (of all kinds) lover. I do have a small crate and an extra large crate from my previous dogs. The small crate can hold up to about a 20 pound dog where the large crate can hold up to about a 100 pound dog. I am willing to discuss whatever it is that your fur baby needs because I know they are all different and require different things!

About: I started off babysitting my neighbors children and then over time they started trusting me with their pets too. I would drop by their houses while they were away and feed their dogs or cats and make sure they went to the bathroom and take them on walks. I’ve taken care of puppies, small dogs, medium dogs, and once a Great Dane. I also take care of cats! I work part time right now so I have plenty of time to watch your pups! I’m available for dog boarding weekdays and dog walking everyday. I have a fenced yard, two medium size dogs and one little dog for your pup to play with! In the morning I feed them breakfast around 6-7am and dinner around 5-6pm. We go on morning and evening walks and my dogs love the car so we’ll drive around with the windows down on the weekends!
