“We had such a wonderful experience with Brenda watching Beaux! She was incredibly communicative and sent daily updates and videos/photos that gave us so much peace of mind while we were away. You can truly tell how knowledgeable and experienced she is with dogs, and most importantly, how much genuine love and attention she gives them. Beaux was so happy, comfortable, and well cared for the entire time. She even kindly kept him an additional night for us because our travel plan changed and we appreciated that so much. We would absolutely trust her with Beaux again and highly recommend her to anyone looking for a caring, reliable and flexible sitter!”

About: Hi there! I have spent many years of my life taking care of animals personally and professionally. I have been volunteering in animal shelters for 7 years, I work with 3 animal organizations helping animals get adopted and fostered, fostering many of them myself. I have had dogs ranging from 5lbs to 75+ Lbs. I also have had numerous cats throughout my life and understand the many personality and needs they have. I have a very flexible schedule professionally and would love to spend more of my free time being around animals I have a very flexible work schedule in which I schedule for myself weekly, giving me a lot of extra time daily as well as the ability to schedule and adjust around bookings. I have fostered both dogs and cats through the years, and currently have one cat now. I keep my home very clean and give my fur baby the most attention and love I can. I truly believe pets are part of the family
“From the moment Trinity asked questions about Maurice and his care, I could sense she would be an excellent choice. Was i ever right! She was very responsive when i asked how he was doing by sending pictures and updates. Maurice is very shy, so when she sent a video of petting him his first day there, I knew he was very comfortable. HIGHLY RECOMMEND!! Thank you so much for taking such great care of Maurice!!!”

About: I absolutely adore all types of animals and have always been happiest when I’m around them. I have 17+ years of hands-on experience with both dogs and cats of all ages, sizes, and temperaments. As a pet owner myself, I understand daily routines, behavior, and how to create a calm, structured environment where pets feel safe and comfortable. I take a patient and attentive approach, focusing on consistency, supervision, and positive interactions. I’m comfortable managing different energy levels, feeding schedules, and maintaining a clean, organized space. My goal is to provide dependable, stress-free care so your pet feels secure and well cared for while you’re away. I work from home, so pet care fits naturally into my daily routine. I’m able to provide consistent supervision throughout the day, including regular potty breaks, feeding, playtime, and rest. Dogs are not left alone for long periods, and I maintain a structured routine to keep them comfortable and settled. I provide a clean, safe, and calm home environment where pets are closely supervised at all times. I keep a limited number of dogs to ensure each one gets individual attention and to maintain a low-stress setting. I pay close attention to behavior, body language, and interactions to ensure all pets are comfortable and safe. I can separate dogs if needed and will always follow your pet’s routine, feeding instructions, and any specific care needs.

“Wenxu & Evan were truly the best sitters we could have asked for for Daisy over the holidays. From start to finish, they went above and beyond in every way. When my travel plans unexpectedly changed and I needed to adjust both drop-off and pick-up, they were incredibly flexible and accommodating, which took so much stress off my plate. They were also amazing with communication—sending me tons of photos and videos that showed just how happy, relaxed, and loved Daisy was. It honestly looked like she was on her own little vacation. Seeing her so comfortable and joyful made me feel completely at ease being away. I’ll definitely be using them again 💗”

I highly recommend Michelle and I’d definitely ask her to sit for me again.”
“Marian & Liliia conducted twice a day drop in visits for a week's duration. The visits required daily feedings of a single cat. Everything went as planned and provided directions were followed to the letter. Highly recommended for the price and attention provided. We will use their services again. Thank you!”
“10/10 would highly recommend! Kristin was one of the best sitters I've ever had! My kitties absolutely adored her and she went above and beyond while she was here.

“I can’t thank Michelle enough for the amazing job she did watching my 6-month-old pitbull! My pup is super high energy and was a bit nervous at first, but Michelle made her feel right at home.

After the first visit, each time we pulled into the driveway she realized where she was and was so excited she practically jumped out of the car when she saw Dan. She loves their house and playing with furry friends so much that she actually cries on the way home!! I couldn't believe my ears! She comes home all tired out from playing all day and it gives me peace of mind when I can't be with her in times of work, parties, etc. Thank you Dan and Denise!!”

About: I grew up in a house full of pets and have volunteered at various pet rescues. Now, 51 years later, through every chapter of my life, milestones, joys, and losses, there has always been a pet by my side. I can’t imagine a home without the sound of paws, the comfort of companionship, or the simple, grounding presence of an animal. I work full time from home and am happy to be flexible to any schedule. This works particularly well for pets that are used to a routine. My pets include a Labrador Retriever named "Jax" who is 6 years old. Jax likes to run about in our fenced yard. I also have 3 cats named "Beau", "Shadow" and "Oliver" who remain indoor. All of my babies are rescues.
About: I have a whole based food and intuitive approach to caring and feeding animals of all sizes and I enjoy supporting training and babysitting the animal. I have grown up with animals and have always liked to enjoy meeting new personalities. I am comforting in my ability to watch the dog and I do like to take pictures with them and make sure they have a comfortable place to use the bathroom. I'm always having extra time after my day starts and im willing and able to use most of time to the animal needing to be watched, and nurtured. I have a big room and space to be with the animal as well as a comfortable living community with privacy and safety all around.
“My dog spent the whole day with Eliana yesterday and we couldn’t have been happier with the car he received. She sent pictures, kept me updated on how he’s doing, and gave him so much love. Will definitely use her again in the future!!”
“Sarah and her lovely family took care of our little Yorkie for five days while my husband and I were visiting in New York City. We were staying out on Long Island, and had event tickets each day in the city, so we needed flexible doggie day care hours to accommodate our needs. We felt so very blessed to find Sarah! She welcomed Violet into her home and treated her like family. She is very well equipped to care for any pets and has plenty of equipment and facilities thoughtfully laid out in her home and yard. She has thought of everything her guests could possible need! She kept us very well informed throughout the visit so I didn’t have to worry and wonder about our baby one bit. She obviously loves animals and treated our sweet girl like her very own. Violet was so happy to get there each day and loved playing with all the people and pets in Sarah’s household. I have only ever used day care services on Rover and really couldn’t imagine boarding our fur baby with someone other than a family member, but I wouldn’t hesitate to leave her at Sarah’s! I know I would get professional care, steady communication, and the most loving environment! I cannot recommend her more highly!”

About: I have been very passionate about animals and the environment since I was 3 years old! I grew up around so many animals and it encouraged me to pursue a career in veterinary medicine. At a very young age I was introduced the opportunity to petsit for dogs and cats/kittens in my family. Later around 8 years ago I was able to start working in a more professional manner and cared for not only cats, kittens, and dogs but birds, different reptiles, and some aquatic pets! All these experiences are amazing and they just motivate my love and passion for animals. I have worked with pets of all ages as well as many with special diets and medications. Aside from my experience, I am a very energetic person! I love to go on hikes, runs, bikes, you name it! You can rest assured that your fur babies will get all the love, care, and enjoyment with me!

My availability is very flexible right now. I do have a large fenced yard! I have 1 energetic doggie named Milo and 2 cats named Blue and Maya Papaya. Milo does have social anxiety, so I will keep separate in order for both parties to feel comfortable. And for my cats they are very soft, kind, and friendly with everyone including dogs. You can rest assured that your baby is in great hands, as my top priority is their trust, comfort, and health!

About: I truly treat every pet like they’re my own. I have hands-on experience caring for a wide variety of animals including dogs, cats, and more, so I’m very comfortable with different personalities, routines, and needs. I’m especially attentive to small details — like changes in behavior, appetite, or mood — so I can make sure your pet stays happy and healthy while you’re away. I have experience with energetic dogs who need structured walks and patience, as well as more sensitive or anxious pets who need a calm, gentle approach. I’m also comfortable caring for multiple pets at once and maintaining clean, safe environments (including litter boxes, cages, and feeding areas). What really sets me apart is the level of care and attention I give — I don’t just “watch” pets, I bond with them. I’ll keep you updated with messages and photos so you can feel completely at ease knowing your pet is in loving, reliable hands. Pet care is a big part of my everyday routine. I care for multiple animals at home, including dogs and cats, so I’m used to staying on a consistent schedule for feeding, cleaning, and giving each pet attention. I make time daily for walks, playtime, and bonding, and I’m very attentive to their behavior and needs. Caring for animals isn’t something I do occasionally—it’s part of my lifestyle, and I truly enjoy making sure they feel safe, comfortable, and loved. When caring for pets in my home or a client’s home, I always prioritize keeping their routine as consistent as possible so they feel comfortable and stress-free. I follow all instructions carefully, including feeding schedules, walks, medications if needed, and any specific preferences. I make sure pets have a clean, safe environment, plenty of attention, and regular potty breaks or exercise depending on their needs. I’m very attentive to behavior and will quickly notice if something seems off. I also keep owners updated with messages and photos so they feel reassured while they’re away. Whether I’m in my home or theirs, I treat every pet like my own and focus on making them feel safe, loved, and well cared for.
About: I truly mean it when I say I am an animal lover to my core! I have a Goldie and I also have 2 cats who are very comfortable with dogs and other cats. I have been around pets my entire life and I love all animals - happy to spend my time with your furry family working on training and giving lots of love! I am available for walks, check-ins, and overnights. Murphy and I walk all day every day, so long walks have become my favorite pass time. I am also able to administer any medications that may be needed and can assist with most medical conditions. Thank you for putting your trust in me! 🐶🐾 I work full time but I have a flexible schedule. I am remote and can be available for walks/ check-ins/overnights when needed. I am also happy to house sit when needed! I think how I care for the pets is up to the owner! Sometimes owners prefer to keep their animals separate from mine/prefer me to be at their house. Sometimes they prefer me to be very hands on/ sometimes not. Animals will be happy and healthy in my care no matter what the request :)
About: Dog walking is something I love to do. I take my dog (a boisterous standard schnauzer with quite the mind of his own!) on a walk everyday and love to help others out by giving their pup some exercise! I know that all dogs are unique, so I will take great care to make sure that I follow any instructions given and make this a great experience for the dog. I am good at reading a dog’s body language and know techniques to help calm a dog down if it gets overstimulated and will take necessary steps to ensure the dog’s comfort. I also know my way around the neighborhood, and can take the pup to new and exciting places (within the owners comfort level of course!) so they have a great time! As a recent college graduate, I have a very flexible schedule with ample time to dedicate to taking care of pets. I usually do morning and evening walks (as to avoid too high temperatures) and throughout the day can provide general pet care. I have a large, fenced in yard that pups can run freely in with my own dog. There is also a pool that they can use (under strict supervision of course!) and they have free access to all areas inside the house. We are also conscientious about making sure there are no dangerous things lying around (eg. socks, small items) that the dog can get to.
About: I bring a calm, reliable presence and genuine love for animals. I’m experienced with both puppies and senior pets, including reinforcing training, maintaining routines, and providing gentle support for older pets who need extra care. I’m detail‑oriented, safety‑focused, and communicate clearly so owners always feel informed and confident. Every pet is treated with patience, respect, and the same care I’d want for my own. Pet care fits naturally into my routine because I plan my days around consistency. I’m comfortable with early mornings, scheduled walks, feeding times, and regular check‑ins. I treat each visit as a priority, making sure every pet gets dependable care and attention throughout the week. When I care for pets in my home or a client’s home, I focus on creating a safe, calm, and predictable environment. I follow each pet’s routine exactly as outlined — feeding times, walks, play, training reinforcement, and any medication needs. I take time to understand their personality, comfort level, and energy so I can adapt my approach and help them feel secure. For puppies, I reinforce the basics: crate routines, potty breaks, consistent schedules, and positive training habits. For senior pets, I’m patient and gentle, offering slow walks, mobility support, and medication reminders. No matter the age, I keep communication open with owners through updates, photos, and honest check‑ins so they always feel confident and informed.

About: Dogs, cats and helping people all make me happy. I’ve lived with at least one dog since I was 4 years old after adopting our first family dog from the north shore animal league. I’ve had 3 years of fostering experience for the queens ASPCA where my aunt volunteered. I rehabbed overweight dogs and sick dogs into shape and health to be adopted to their forever homes. We had 2 foster failures our bond was so strong we had to keep. I currently have 3 dogs and one cat all rescues. I always form an immediate bond with any pet I meet and promise to take care of your pet like they are my own. I understand the hesitation in trusting others with your pets and proudly guarantee the best care possible. I am gladly available weekdays both mornings and afternoons as well as anytime needed on the weekends and/or holidays. I do work a full time job second shift 3pm -11pm Monday through Friday excluding holidays. I work in Hicksville for the school district doing security. I’ve found and saved several lost dogs and wild animals throughout the neighborhood over the past 9 plus years. Easily my favorite part of the job. I love to serve the community by helping others. I care as much about stray or random animals as I do my own pets. Seeing a dog or cat in public is easily the highlight of my day. I like to get down and meet dogs at their level to gain their trust and show I am not s threat. I am a good listener and will follow all orders given to take care of someone’s pet and do whatever is best for any animal in my care.
About: For the past several years, I have dedicated my life to professionally caring for animals of all kinds, including managing two pet care companies on Long Island and caring for the animals at the Long Island Science Museum. At our location, we offer luxury cage-free boarding, in a room that was built specifically for the enjoyment and safety of dogs. The dogs have a large living space, a turfed dog run and a giant outdoor dog house! We can guarantee it will be a one-of-a-kind experience for your dog! Daycare/Boarding Requirements: 1) Copy of Vaccination Certificate before dog can be allowed on premises *Required Vaccines: Rabies, DHPP & Bordetella* Recommended: Leptospirosis & Canine Influenza 2) Copy of last vet visit prior to the date of drop off 3) Must be spayed/neutered 4) Must have a history of no aggression towards humans or other animals 5) Must be able to be in an environment with other dogs 6) Must have a collar and a legible name tag 7) If your dog pees on pee pads, pads must be provided by you 8) Provide clearly labeled food with own cup/scoop indicating amount per meal 9) Anything brought (toys, bed, blankets, etc.) has a chance of being damaged by other dogs. Only bring items that you would not mind the possibility of them being damaged or destroyed 10) Must tell us of any dietary restrictions, as we frequently give dogs treats during their stay Pet care is my entire life. I do this full time, so I can ensure that I will be able to spend a ton of time with your animals. When caring for pets in your home or my own, I can ensure a safe environment and constant communication. I treat all animals like they are my own.
About: I am available to sit both cats and dogs. I know how hard it is to leave your fur babies when you are out of town. Cats and dogs have their routines that help to keep them feeling safe and secure. While you are unable to care for your pet for whatever reason, I can visit them and provide excellent care for them. This will help to give you piece of mind knowing that they are well cared for, and not too lonely while your not home. I have 2 cats of my own, and a dog. I have loved and cared for animals my entire life, and will treat yours like my very own. I used to volunteer and the North Shore Animal League taking shelter dogs for much needed walks. I enjoyed it just as much as they did!! I’m highly responsible and love to care for all animals.
About: I grew up in a house full of pets and have volunteered at various pet rescues. Now, 51 years later, through every chapter of my life, milestones, joys, and losses, there has always been a pet by my side. I can’t imagine a home without the sound of paws, the comfort of companionship, or the simple, grounding presence of an animal. I work full time from home and am happy to be flexible to any schedule. This works particularly well for pets that are used to a routine. My pets include a Labrador Retriever named "Jax" who is 6 years old. Jax likes to run about in our fenced yard. I also have 3 cats named "Beau", "Shadow" and "Oliver" who remain indoor. All of my babies are rescues.

About: Hi there! I have spent many years of my life taking care of animals personally and professionally. I have been volunteering in animal shelters for 7 years, I work with 3 animal organizations helping animals get adopted and fostered, fostering many of them myself. I have had dogs ranging from 5lbs to 75+ Lbs. I also have had numerous cats throughout my life and understand the many personality and needs they have. I have a very flexible schedule professionally and would love to spend more of my free time being around animals I have a very flexible work schedule in which I schedule for myself weekly, giving me a lot of extra time daily as well as the ability to schedule and adjust around bookings. I have fostered both dogs and cats through the years, and currently have one cat now. I keep my home very clean and give my fur baby the most attention and love I can. I truly believe pets are part of the family
“Veronique took such great care of my pup! He had the absolute best time. She really treated him like a little prince.

I highly recommend her if you want the best care for your dog.”

“Laurie and her family took amazing care of our dogs, Blue and Sky, overnight. They treated them like part of the family and kept us updated with pictures and messages, which gave us so much peace of mind. We could tell our babies were happy, safe, and well loved. We highly recommend Laurie to anyone looking for a caring and trustworthy pet sitter!”
“well, like all of us, we love our dogs. I am so fortunate to find Vanessa. I felt she treated my pup like it was her own. Every time I saw a video it made me smile. When I came to pick her up, I didn't think she was going to want to come home. I felt like she was at a wonderful sleep weekend camp”
“Cody was fantastic! He was able to accommodate a last-minute booking over the July 4th weekend, which was a huge help. Sunny is always happy staying with him, and it’s clear he feels comfortable and well cared for. I really appreciate Cody’s flexibility and reliability.”
“Gerald watched our dog in his home for 10 days, and we couldn't have been happier with the experience. Our dog can get anxious when he's away from home, but he was calm, comfortable, and clearly well cared for throughout his stay. Gerald took him on walks in the nearby park and provided excellent care. He was also a fantastic communicator, sending regular updates, photos, and videos that gave us peace of mind and made us feel connected while we were away. I would absolutely recommend Gerald to anyone looking for a reliable and caring dog sitter. We'll definitely be booking with him again in the future!”
“Troy was an absolute godsend. We had a last minute 5 day trip come up and I was nervous handing off our Newfoundland to someone new, especially on short notice, but Troy put me at ease from the first message. He asked all the right questions upfront, was flexible with our chaotic schedule, and clearly knows how to handle a big, gentle giant breed. He sent photos and updates without me even having to ask, and I could tell our dog was genuinely comfortable and happy with him the whole time. We came home to a relaxed, well loved pup and zero stress on our end. Troy is reliable, communicative, and just a genuinely good person to trust with your dog. Can’t recommend him enough, we’ll absolutely be booking him again.”
“Michelle is amazing! We are new to the area and had a negative experience with a different sitter previously. I was so nervous to try someone new. We found Michelle and I am SO grateful!! I honestly think our dog didn’t want to leave her house. She sent tons of photos and updates. Our Great Dane is sensitive to new situations and will refuse to eat. Michelle waited with her during each meal so she would eat. She truly went above and beyond and I can not recommend her enough.”
“Eliana was the perfect match for my Daytona! She was constantly sending me updates on my boy and he seemed so happy and content in every photo! Thank you for taking such great care of our puppy! We will definitely be using Eliana for future stays!!”
“Pam fully embraced our fur baby with so much LOVE! Our boxer immediately felt comfortable in her surroundings. Pam took extra good care and went above and beyond for our fur baby. Our family felt relaxed knowing our baby was getting in her snuggles. We appreciated all of the daily photos and updates. Pam is an excellent care taker and the happiness from all of the furry friends is proof!”
“Iris w/her husband took care of my two pups Mia & Milo the last 5 days. They took such great care of them. Milo still a puppy at 13 months & Mia a 10.5. They handled them both with such care. With special instructions for Mia’s medicine to my hyper playful puppy seeking attention often. Iris sent pictures & videos showing me how happy & content they were! They’ll be back with Iris in just a few short days again! I’m so happy that I feel 💯 at ease knowing they’re in great hands!! Highly recommend Iris taking care of your fur babies too.”
