“Literally a staycation for our pup. Vanessa went above and beyond with everything !! We received pics and updates daily which put us at ease on vacation. A real home away from home for any dog lucky enough to get time with their family!”
“Diana and her family were amazing with our Sophie. She kept us informed on a regular basis as to how our pup was doing in addition to providing us with several awesome photos. We would highly recommend her to friends and family and look forward to using her services in the future.”
“Sara was very good about replying to our texts prior to meeting her and also while our dogs were staying with her. We received daily updates and photos which was very comforting to us being away on a trip. The dogs certainly enjoyed their stay and the loving attention they got during their stay. They also had lots of exercise and playtime. Our dogs also got along well with Sara's dog, Phil. It's wonderful to have found a responsible and reliable dog sitter in Sara.”
“First time ever using a pet sitter, Was very pleased w/the care our 7 month old “big” high energy pup received. Lots of photos/videos were shared and response was quick. Friendly environment!”
“We had dropped our dog with Wenxu for 10 days during our travel. They looked after Neo really well and he came back home a happy dog. Wenxu made sure to keep us posted daily on Neo and sent us tons of photos. Would definitely recommend her for future.”
“Dawn literally saved our vacation. I found out two days before our vacation that our doggie day camp was closing due to an illness going around the dogs. I searched other day cares and dog sitters on Rover and everyone was booked! (It is August vacation time!) Dawn responded that she had one spot open and agreed to meet in a few hours for a meet and greet. Dawn put me at ease by asking lots of questions about our dog, Baci, and taking careful notes. We dropped her off the next morning and she stayed a whole week. Dawn sent pictures of Baci playing with the other dogs almost every day. Baci was so happy to see us but I do think she misses her friends at Dawn's. I highly recommend Dawn to watch your dog.”
“Delmy and her daughter were great! They sent photos and videos constantly. Her house was clean and she even let me come and meet her before I even booked. It was very comforting knowing she wanted me to feel comfortable leaving my Remi with her. Thank you so much!”
“From the moment we met Anna, we knew she was a good fit! She made booking the meet and greet, drop off and pick up super easy. Scout liked Anna’s sweet disposition and I liked that she kept us updated! Scout came home happy and healthy. We would highly recommend Anna to anyone in need of a pet sitter!”
“Denise watched my two dogs for the second time. She’s great, friendly and flexible. Very good trait when traveling cause we got stuck in traffic. She was patient and her flexibility made things easier. My dogs seem they liked staying with Denise.”
“Isabella was great. She regularly checked in and kept me posted with a lot of pics. She is kind and cheerful and would recommend her to anyone having to leave their fur babies.”
“My dog loved his stay at Theresa’s house and I was reassured with multiple picture updates of how my dog was doing! Would recommend and am booking again in the future !”
“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!”
“Kristen and her partner were amazing! We received many photos of Mako on walks and hanging out with them at home. Knowing Mako was well taken care of gave us piece-of-mind to enjoy the weekend of wedding activities. Thanks Kristen!”
“Dan and Denise are the best. Minnie enjoyed herself so much she did not want to leave. We were away 4 days and I felt so comfortable knowing Minnie was happy and well taken care of. Cannot give 10 stars but I would if I could. Plan to rebook for another extended stay.”
“Marcia was great! She kept us updated with photos every day and was always quick to respond to any messages we sent. Our two dogs came home tired and happy, which is always a sign of a good stay. Would not hesitate to have them stay with her again. Thank you so much!”
“Trisha was great, she kept us in the loop with pictures and texts the whole evening. It was the first time we left our dog Jax who’s 1-1/2 old boxer with tons of energy. Thank you Trisha and we will definitely leave Jax with again and again.”

I can also crate them if needed. I treat every pet like my own, keeping them happy, comfy, and safe.

About: Hello, my name is Anna, and I’m a dedicated and experienced dog caregiver with a lifelong passion for animals. Over the years, I’ve had the privilege of owning and caring for three wonderful dogs—a Bichon Frise, a Lab mix, and a Pitbull—each of whom taught me something unique about loyalty, love, and responsibility. My Experience I have hands-on experience managing all aspects of dog ownership, including training, daily walks, vet appointments, and all related care expenses. I'm comfortable with dogs of all breeds and sizes and am confident handling multiple dogs at once. Whether it’s a high-energy pup or a gentle senior, I tailor my care to each dog’s individual needs. I work full-time, but pet care is a meaningful part of my life and something I make time for. I’m available for evening walks, weekend dog sitting, and flexible drop-ins. Caring for animals brings me joy, and I always ensure they get the attention and love they deserve, no matter how busy life gets. In my home, pets stay in a safe, clean, and loving environment with plenty of attention, playtime, and care. I follow their usual routine to help them feel at ease. In a client’s home, I respect your space and stick to your pet’s schedule—feeding, walking, and giving them the love and attention they’re used to. Wherever your pet is, I care for them like they’re my own.
“Nat did a wonderful job taking care of our babies! We had a new kitten unexpectedly join our family, and she made sure to show both cats, undivided love and attention. We love to book with her every time we go away!”
“Taylor did a wonderful job taking care of my cat! It was my first time leaving him for a few days and she made me feel at ease. My cat is very high energy and she was sure to give him lots of playtime and snuggles everyday and sent photos too. Thank you, Taylor!!”
About: I’ve taken care of many pets since I was young and I have always loved doing it! I myself have one cat and one dog. I’m working part-time and in school, so I am doing this on the side as an extra source of income as a college student and a way to express my love and passion towards animals. My job is in its slow season for the next couple of months, so my schedule is very open besides classes. I can tend to any needs necessary for your pets. I am willing to go above and beyond to meet your animals needs and make sure they are comfortable when being in my care, and I will always let you know if they are not.
About: I've had many dogs and cats in my life ever since I was young . I have also always been the primary care giver to all my pets. Currently, I'm a cat dad to 4 cats to which I perform daily grooming, nail trimming, feeding and litter boxes. I am very familiar and comfortable with caring for dogs as well. I've mainly had dogs my entire life and will be happy to walk and play with your pups. I have a very calm demeanor and as a result all animals love me and we will quickly become best friends! Animal care is now my main focus so my availability is pretty open. I am willing and excited to care for all my new furry friends! I will treat your pets as if they were my own babies and treat your home with respect. Our pets are part of the family and deserve proper love and care!
About: I’ve cared for cats since I was a child, they loved me so much they’d even let me dress them up. Although I’ve outgrown that practice long ago, I still love playing or quite time. I also have experience giving insulin shots as long as the cat is not aggressive.

“We have left Lexi with Alicia and her family several times now for both doggy day care and two week long boarding and we could not be happier! Our dog is not a fan of other dogs at all and Alicia is always very accommodating to make sure she will be the only dog in the house. They have a huge yard for her to run around in, there is always someone home to keep her company, and they always send us multiple pictures everyday so we can see how she is doing throughout the day. We very highly recommend Alicia and we'll definitely be using her again.”

Would definitely recommend, and we will definitely be returning. We would trust her with our pup any day!”

About: I have a deep passion for animals and years of hands-on experience caring for pets of various breeds and sizes. Growing up around pets has given me a strong understanding of canine behavior, body language, and specific care needs. Whether it is managing high-energy pups, maintaining strict feeding routines, or just providing endless belly rubs, I treat every furry guest like a member of my own family. I am highly attentive and dedicated to making sure your pet feels safe, happy, and loved while you are away. I work from home full-time, which gives me incredible flexibility and allows me to provide around-the-clock supervision and companionship for your pet. Your dog will never feel lonely, as I am around throughout the day to offer frequent potty breaks, backyard playtime, and regular walks. My flexible remote work schedule ensures that I can easily adapt to your pet's established routine, meaning their feeding, medicine, and nap times will remain perfectly on track. Safety is my absolute top priority. My home provides a secure, pet-friendly environment where your dog can relax comfortably. I am extremely proactive about monitoring behavior and ensuring all areas are completely pet-proofed. When welcoming guest pets, I am very careful about proper introductions to ensure everyone coexists happily and safely. I strictly follow all owner instructions regarding specific house rules, crate training preferences, and safety boundaries, ensuring you have total peace of mind and receive plenty of photo updates.
“Yaina was fabulous. I have a very anxious dog and was worried about leaving her but she was very attentive, kept me updated, and made my pup feel comfortable. Highly recommend!”
“Theresa was a great dog sitter very attentive and caring. She sent updates, which I really appreciated, and my pup was clearly happy and well taken care of.She didn’t even want to leave when I picked her up! I would definitely use her again.”
“Aliyah was great with Toulouse. He’s a pretty nervous dog and was recovering from heat exhaustion and ripped up paws and she (and Deuce!) were incredibly loving, gentle, and patient with him.”
About: I love spending time with dogs, I prioritize going above and beyond to ensure your fur baby feels comfortable and loved while you’re away. I provide frequent updates with photos and videos throughout the day to keep you informed about your pet’s activities and well-being. I have plenty of time to play with your pups! I am available for boarding and/or for just a fun day care at anytime. I maintain a flexible schedule to maintain your pet’s needs. With a fenced in yard, I can provide regular exercise to help your pet stay fit, strong and keep those tails wagging. In my home your pet will have a safe and cozy place to stay.
“Marcia took amazing care of our Golden Retriever Kennedy! Highly recommend and would love for her to watch Kennedy again. Kennedy had so much fun playing in their lovely yard and came home happy and tired!”
“Karishma and her family made Rhodey feel right at home. He was immediately comfortable and looked so relaxed when we got back. Karishma is a great communicator and kept us at ease during his stay.”
About: I have experience caring for dogs of all ages, from puppies to senior dogs. I currently own four dogs: two adult Belgian Malinois, a German Shepherd puppy, and a senior Shih Tzu mix. I have crate trained and potty trained multiple puppies and am familiar with the time, patience, and consistency required for successful training. Through caring for both high-energy working breeds and senior dogs, I have experience managing different exercise needs, routines, temperaments, and levels of care. I am committed to providing a safe, structured, and positive environment for every dog in my care. I am home most of the time and provide full-time care for the dogs in my home. Because I am available throughout the day, dogs receive regular supervision. I have a securely fenced yard where dogs can safely go outside for potty breaks and exercise. I am comfortable reinforcing crate training when needed and believe crates are a valuable tool for safety and routine. My own dogs are crate trained and are crated when they cannot be directly supervised to ensure their safety and prevent unwanted behaviors. I provide a structured, safe, and supervised environment while making sure each dog receives plenty of attention, care, and opportunities to play and relax.
About: For over 15 years, I’ve been the trusted companion for pets of all shapes and sizes—offering belly rubs, playtime, and plenty of love while their owners are away. From energetic puppies to wise old souls, I understand each pet’s unique needs and personality. Whether it’s long walks, petting and brushing sessions, or keeping up with special care routines, I treat every furry friend like family. With decades of experience and a true passion for animals, you can leave your pet in my care with complete peace of mind. Because to me, pet sitting isn’t just a job—it’s a lifelong love. I’m currently working part-time. So I’ll have plenty of time to play with your extended family members. I’m available for day time walks, as needed, and full boardings during the week, after 3pm, and most weekends. I am flexible with the boarding times as well so if you need me earlier, I’m sure we can work something out. I have a fully fenced in yard about 1/4 of an acre for your family member to stretch their legs and run around. I have one friendly mini schnauzer, Molly, that I am the proud owner of. I can easily crate your dog if needed or if your furry pal needs some time alone I have plenty of space within my home that they are allowed to freely roam. Sometimes this is needed from first meetings because, not unlike people, dogs may take time to get acclimated to one another. I do require a first meet before agreeing to take on new clients for the safety of myself, Molly and my home.

About: Hi! My name is Nicole and I have over 15 years of hands-on experience caring for dogs of all breeds and sizes. I was raised in a home full of dogs. Since I was a young girl, my mother has been a professional dog breeder of Cavalier King Charles Spaniels, so I grew up helping care for five or more pups at a time. This lifelong exposure has given me a deep understanding of dog behavior, care, and training from a very young age. In addition to my personal experience, I’ve worked at a doggy daycare where I gained even more expertise in training, administering medications, grooming, and providing attentive, loving care. Whether it’s a high energy puppy or a senior dog needing special attention, I’m confident and capable in providing tailored care. I’m currently based in Huntington NY where I offer a safe and welcoming home environment for dog boarding. I live in a pet friendly space with my calm and friendly Chihuahua named Coco who loves having visitors. Your dog will receive plenty of attention, playtime, and affection in a peaceful supervised setting. I now have open availability throughout the week and weekends, making it easy to accommodate your pup’s needs whether for daytime care, overnight stays, or extended visits. I wholeheartedly have lots of fun while looking after dogs of all kinds, and it is my priority to keep your fur baby safe, happy and healthy! I am looking forward to connecting with you! 🦴🐶🐾 Pet care fits naturally into my weekly routine. My schedule varies from week to week depending on bookings and client needs, but I currently have an open and flexible schedule that allows me to prioritize pet care throughout the day. Whether it's early morning walks, midday playtime, or evening feedings and cuddles, I build my day around making sure each dog gets the attention, structure, and affection they need. Whether caring for pets in my home or my client’s, I always aim to create a calm, loving, and safe environment tailored to each dog’s personality and routine. Dogs staying with me enjoy a cozy, pet-friendly space with plenty of room to relax and play. I live with my sweet, well-behaved Chihuahua named Coco who loves canine visitors and gets along with all breeds. I provide regular walks, potty breaks, playtime, and lots of affection throughout the day. I follow the pet parent’s instructions closely, including feeding schedules, medications, or special care routines to ensure consistency and comfort. When caring for dogs in their own home, I prioritize maintaining their regular routines and environment. I make sure feedings, walks, and any special care are handled just as requested. I treat every client’s home with respect and make sure their pets are safe, content, and well cared for while they’re away. Whether at my place or yours, I always send updates with photos and videos so you can feel confident and connected while your pet is in my care.
“Jennifer is amazing!! It’s my first time using Rover for my puppy and she put all my nerves at ease. She sent daily pictures and updates which I really appreciated. Noodle can’t wait to go back! Thank you again Jennifer!”

About: I’ve had pets my entire life, and caring for them has always been second nature to me. From playful puppies and cuddly kittens to senior pets who need extra attention, I treat every animal as if they were my own. I work at a local Emergency Veterinary Center for more than 2 years. I have rode and cared for horses most of my life. I work part time and I have a flexible schedule to help care for your fur babies. I look forward to taking care of your treasured pets. I have 3 pets at home, 2 dogs and a cat. I care for them daily. I walk my dogs and I also have been active in dog training, with my dog. This helps me when I walk dogs not familiar to me.
About: 1. Trained my golden for 5 years now (basic, verbal, house breaking) 2. Studied dog behaviors for 5+ years 3. Skilled in reading dog body language I’m currently work hybrid. I also have my golden retriever and my sister’s German shepherd at home to look after. I can drop in for visits/ potty breaks, walks, medical care, and more while you are away. You can feel at ease letting me take care of your family member. I’m always super cautious and great at preventative measures to keep a pet safe and enclosed in the desired area of a client’s wants/ needs.
“Ava helped me walk my pup while I was sick. She was very kind and attentive. She took photos of their walk and let me know important details! I will definitely be contacting Ava again for help with dog walking some time:)”
About: Hi! I’m a local dog lover in the Commack area with a lifelong connection to animals. I grew up with small dogs and currently care for two rescued dogs, a Standard Poodle and a Maltese, who are truly my furbabies. I also volunteer at a PetSmart cat adoption center, where I’ve been helping care for cats for over a year. I’m starting pet sitting because I genuinely enjoy calm, safe, and caring neighborhood walks during the day. I especially love helping dogs get their daily exercise, attention, and comfort while their owners are busy. My goal is to be a reliable and gentle presence your pet can feel safe with, just like a trusted neighbor. Pet care fits into my weekly routine during weekday mornings around lunchtime. I am available for 30 minute neighborhood dog walks or short drop-in visits to check on pets, provide care, and make sure they are comfortable and well taken care of while their owners are away during the day. I do not offer boarding in my home because I already have two dogs of my own, and I want to maintain a safe and calm environment for all pets. I only provide care in clients’ homes or nearby neighborhoods, focusing on small dogs under 40 lbs. For dog walking, I offer calm and safe 30-minute neighborhood walks with one dog at a time to ensure full attention and control (Up to two dogs per household). For drop-in visits, I follow all owner instructions, including feeding, fresh water, and letting dogs out into the backyard if needed. My priority is always safety, trust, and making sure each pet feels comfortable and secure in their familiar environment.
“Today was my first time using rover. Violet was my first walker. She showed up on time and respected our home. She was patient getting to know my dog and showed him kindness. I appreciate her taking care of my doggie while i was at work. Will def do it again.”
“We are so so grateful for Caroline! She’s on top of communication and came out to meet our dogs before she started doing walks. She’s done a number of walks for us now! She stayed in touch and accommodated even our most random requests like pulling things out of our freezer for our dogs to use after their walks. We will continue to reach out to her as long as she’s available!! Thank you for being so great to our girls!”
About: I am a graduate of a veterinary technician school preparing to take my licensing exam and have experience within the pet retail industry. I have been around pets all my life. I am a veterinary assistant who is available to provide dog walking and drop-in visits while not working. I am working on obtaining my veterinary technician license. I have a dog myself and will use my knowledge from school and the pet industry to give loving drop-in visits and walks to your pet.
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! I am an undergraduate student and I am currently a vet technician/assistant practicing with a couple clinica , which allows me plenty of time to care for your lovely fur babies! 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!
“Kim is a great dog walker. She is clearly a dog person! She has walked my dog many times over the past few months. She is always pleasant, professional, and reliable. Most importantly, my dog is always very happy to see her!”
About: I have grown up around dogs and am a loyal dog person! Our beloved 12 year old lab just passed away recently so our family is looking to help other people take care of their dogs! I have two children who are used to dogs and love them. I work from home in my own schedule so have lots of time to make a fuss of your pup! I am up early and love to go out for a morning walk. We have a fenced in large backyard and lots of nice places for leashed walks. We follow the schedule and needs of the dog to make sure they are comfortable. We do have a split level home so senior dogs who struggle with steps may be tricky.
About: Growing up, my family always had a house full of dogs and cats of every size, breed, and personality — and we often fostered strays, too! From an early age, I learned hands-on skills like training techniques, behavioral understanding, and basic at-home vet care. Over time, I developed a calm, intuitive approach that helps me connect with almost any animal I meet (and I’m always happy to prove it!). In middle and high school, I spent weekends volunteering at my local animal shelter, CNY SNAP in Cortland, NY. As an adult, I continued rescuing and rehoming cats and dogs until a few years ago when I welcomed my daughter. Now that she’s a bit older, I’m thrilled to be back doing what I love — caring for animals of all kinds. I understand that not every pet instantly warms up to new people, and that’s totally okay. I never force affection — instead, I read their cues, respect their boundaries, and build trust at their own pace. Whether your pet is shy, playful, senior, or special-needs, I’ll meet them where they are and give them the care and patience they deserve. Reliability and safety are my top priorities. When I’m in your home, I treat it with the same care and respect I would my own — leaving things clean, tidy, and often better than I found them. I value your privacy and always maintain discretion about your space and schedule. I’m detail-oriented and take note of the little things that make a big difference — from following feeding routines precisely to keeping track of any changes in your pet’s behavior. I’m also big on communication: you’ll receive thoughtful, photo-filled updates so you can relax knowing your pets are happy, safe, and cared for. Clients have described me as calm, reliable, and attentive — someone they can truly trust. My goal is always to create a stress-free experience for both you and your pet. I work from home on my own time so I have open availability! Weekends welcomed, and most holidays as well! I do my best to keep my schedule updated. While I can’t host pets in my own home (lease restrictions), I’m proud to provide an exceptional experience for both you and your pet in your home. I treat every home and animal with the highest level of care and respect, ensuring a calm, clean, and comfortable environment. I follow your pet’s care plan to the letter — feeding, medication, walks, bedtime routines, and all the little details that make them feel secure. I also go above and beyond to leave your space in great condition (because let’s be honest, a little pet mess is part of the fun!). If any questions or concerns arise, I’ll always reach out before taking any steps we haven’t discussed. I believe in clear, consistent communication and earning trust through reliability, attention to detail, and genuine love for what I do. And of course — all the cuddles and playtime are included, free of charge! ⭐ Please Note: I may occasionally have my five-year-old daughter with me for overnight stays. This will always be discussed ahead of time during our meet and greet to make sure you’re completely comfortable.

About: I've had a family dog all my life and brought home a dog of my own a few years ago. I have previously worked in a store that handled puppies and had them available for purchase and adoption while also working alongside a groomer so I have a background in bathing all different-sized dogs. I also have dog-sat for family and friends over the past few years and loved doing it! My family and I have also participated with the Guide Dog Foundation and have fostered puppies and young adult dogs. While I don't have an official background in dog training, I have taught my dog all the commands he knows now, and I have helped friends with training their dogs as well such as sit, stay, lay down, etc. I have a deep connection with dogs as well as most animals and truly love them all! I am currently working a part-time job while going to school full time but my schedule allows me to be available on the weekends as well as various times throughout the day on weekdays. I have a big yard with two sides for the dogs to get out their zoomies, both sides of the yard are fenced. I have two friendly dogs to keep your fur baby company. If your pet needs to be crated that is easily feasible in my house.
About: I am a stay at home mom and rock climber with a flexible schedule! I have lots of dog walking experience and I am very flexible with time and extremely reliable. I have experience in pet sitting as well as taking long and playful walks with energetic pups of all sizes. I lived with two greyhounds and a cat at my previous house and loved them lots! I live in Northport with the ability to travel to other areas. Looking forward to hearing from you soon and meeting your fabulous and loving pets. I have lots of availability and love to get out and exercise so walking pups goes hand in hand with my lifestyle! I love long walks in the parks! I am a reliable dog walker and cat sitter, always ensuring I am keeping in mind each pets special needs and wants and their owners preferences.
