“My fiancé and I were passing through the area and had to attend a funeral on the way to vacation. Vanessa and her husband were fantastic, they were so flexible for our schedule and helpful to watch Jameson for only a few hours on a Sunday. They have a gorgeous fenced in backyard where Jameson and their sweet pup Storm played. Additionally, they were so personable and sweet. We’d definitely recommend them!”
About: 💠 Hello! I offer pet care for when you’re not able to be there. I am available for drop-in visits, pet sitting, pet daycare, and also pet walking (even for cats!). 🚙 I currently provide pet care services for most of the Nassau County area and some parts of Nassau-Queens border. I am also able to travel to Manhattan with added transportation coverage. I am local: Residents of NEW HYDE PARK receive special accommodations and rates. * Messages that are sent after hours on Rover will be responded to the following day. 🔹 I’m experienced with small breeds, or toy breeds, specifically Pomeranians, been around them all my life, including newborns and senior dogs who were raised starting as puppies. I also have some experience with French Bulldogs. 🔹 Experienced with docile cat breeds, in particular Persian, Himalayan, Ragdoll and other related cat breeds. 🔹 Have experience with Goldfish, Bettas and birds such as Budgies, so knowledgeable about care. 🐾 I’m intuitive and pay attention to picking up the different ways a dog or cat expresses nonverbal communication, they constantly give us cues. About Me: I own a color-point Persian cat who is 7 years old that I enjoy spoiling. I can speak Italian, enjoy gardening, art, sewing, yoga, tennis & pilates. I’m a fan of the original Twilight movie directed by Catherine Hardwicke. 🐾 I’m currently providing pet care for a King Charles Cavalier who has mobility issues and dietary restrictions, but he is such a big mush! I am also caring for a special needs 4 month old kitten who needs to be syringe-fed, given both topical & oral medication on schedule, along with helping her with using a litter box. In addition to assisting with care of a (palm-sized) rescue kitten who is less than one month old needing to be bottle fed every few hours, given antibiotic medication for her eyes and frequent cleaning with wet wipes, due to being too young to know how to use a litter box. I have found it to be extremely rewarding and willing to look after a few more furbabies within my local area. 🔹 I’m trustworthy and reliable, I would always practice good manners. Respectful of privacy when I’m in a client’s home. I make sure that when I’m with your pet, safety is an upmost priority.
About: For quite a few years I’ve taken care of dogs for family members, families all over Long Island and never disappointed! I’ve loved dogs all my life and still do. They’re honestly like family to me and I always treat my family with care, respect and love which is what a dog needs. I also have 2 dogs of my own and they is just the best thing that happened to me honestly and that’s why I’m working for this company because I’ve found something that I could work for and love doing what I do at the same time. I treat every dog like they’re mine! Every dog that has been to my house they are treated like our family, care for every one of them. I currently just graduated college so as of right now I am home full time! Sometimes I go out to run a few errands which means I put the dogs in a crate but my mother works from home 2 days out of the week so if she’s there she’ll keep them out and moving around on their own! Other than that I am very free for now! In my home I have a huge clean yard that runs through the back, side and front it is fenced so the dogs could run freely around for some daily exercise. I also have two dogs of my own that’ll definitely keep your lovely dog(s) company. They are very playful and welcoming, one is 4 years old and the other one is 3 years old, with all their shots and up to date with all doctor appointments. This is a smoke free house also. Your baby will be happy&safe here!
“Django is always happy to go to Joanna. She takes great care of him and receiving pictures throughout the day showing what Django is doing makes me feel great knowing that he is being well cared for. I highly recommend Joanna to care for your bestie.”
About: I’ve grown up with dogs my whole life and have always loved taking care of friend’s and family’s dogs! I love going for walks so I’m sure your pup will enjoy that! I’m available to board on all days of the week! I work in clinical research remotely so your dog will get lots of attention and will go for several walks throughout the day. There are no restrictions on drop off or pick up times. We live in a really quiet neighborhood so walks are peaceful! There’s a park where we can walk around and enjoy the outdoors. In our home, we have an open set up and would love for your dog to spend as much time with us as possible. But if your pup needs some alone time, we have a separate area for your pup to decompress. We have a 3 year old toddler who loves dogs! We’ve taught him how to pet pups gently and he loves giving treats! He won’t interact with your dog unless the dog initiates. He stays away from the food and water bowl.
“We used Andrew to dog sit our 7 month old St. Berdoodle puppy Stewart, and our daughters 3 year old Old English Sheepdog, Oswald, while we hosted an enngagement party at our home. Everything was wonderful. Andrew was very accomodating and we met prior to the day to check out the house and have Stewart meet Andrew. The dogs were well cared for and happy when they returned home. We will definitely use Andrew again in the future!! Thank you Andrew!!!”

“We really appreciated and not being able to take our Sofie so last minute. She was very pleasant and friendly. Her accommodations were clean and orderly. Sofie took to her right away. I know that if I’m in the area, she is the person I will call!”
“Erica was awesome with our 3 yr old goldendoodle. She kept us updated throughout the day and sent pictures. He had a great time (at least thats what my dog told me, hehe) I definitely plan on sending him back to Erica next time he needs to be watched.”
About: What makes me special about taking care of any type of pet is that I give them my unconditional love, I dedicate myself to them and I make them feel at home, cozy and I give them the attention they need. This helps me because I am very dedicated to my routine. I get up early, eat healthy and exercise. Just as I am dedicated to my daily routine, I am also dedicated to the animals that I take care of and I dedicate myself to them. I have neighbors with very friendly animals. I also provide them with a clean and hygienic area, take them for a walk, play with them and give them my dedication, time and love.
“It was a pleasure meeting Nachay at our meet & greet. She accommodate my last minute schedule changes for our 5 mos old pup for our son's wedding reception day. She also accommodated our schedule day of the event. Nachay sent lots of pictures and frequent updates. Our pup got to socialize and was a tired pup when we got her home. Thank you and looking forward to our next visit.”
About: I have had dogs ever since I was a little kid! I am a dog lover and I fortunately get to dog-sit quite often for my brothers and friends when they’re away on vacation or for work! I currently work a relatively remote job in analytics where I don’t have to go into the office and most of my workday is sitting down. Pet care works perfectly into breaking up my day where I can take walks every few hours! Whatever special needs your dog requires, I can accommodate for with proper instructions. I will try to make the most comfortable environment for your pet as possible.

South Hempstead dog parents share their Rover experiences
Once we met Nicole in person, it was quite evident the extent of knowledge, caring, and experience this young lady has for the animals, namely cats and dogs. She made suggestions and it worked, and once we left our pet dog Bella with her, she sent us pictures and videos to show how she was enjoying her time with Nicole and the other pets. She is very caring and has extra toys for the pets to play with, and a fenced backyard for them to run around free, which they all clearly liked a lot. Thank you Nicole for being so wonderful to our Bella and for the depth of knowledge and caring you have for the pets. Stay well.
Nachay is a great sitter! She was so responsive when we first selected her, prior to the appointment. She asked specifics about feeding instructions, medications and any concerns about the dogs and their needs. She is very professional. Her home was well outfitted to keep dogs within well appointed areas of the home for their comfort and safety. She is well versed in safe introductions to her customer's dogs with her dogs. She has gated areas if, for any reason, there is a concern and dogs need their own space. She has a nice fenced yard too. Would use her services again!
