“I can’t say enough about Vanessa and her family! We left our labradoodle with her for the weekend and received tons of videos, pictures and text messages about how Brandy was doing. The care she received from everyone in the family was top notch. I could see every day that she was playing, eating well and getting lots of love and attention! I am truly grateful.”
“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.”
“Yaina was wonderful! We are so happy to have found her! She sent us videos and pictures of our dog during the stay. Yaina kept us updated and made me feel at ease that our dog was being well taken cared of.”

“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.”
About: I’m a true lover of dogs! I have a very friendly 11 year old Shih Tzu Bichon mix, a 9 year old son and 6 year old daughter. I have a completely fenced backyard on an acre of property. I take an evening walk after dinner every night and would love to bring your pup along with me! I have a flexible schedule, which allows me to dedicate time and attention to the pet I care for. I can focus on their needs, including, feeding, exercise and and special instructions I am given. I have a very large fenced in backyard. My neighborhood is very safe. My home is on one level with plenty of couches and beds to sleep on. I have 1 dog and watch no more than 1 dog (siblings are an exception) at a time to give them the attention and comfort they need.
“Isabella was absolutely wonderful and kept my mind at ease while I was on vacation by sending pictures and videos of Piper having a blast! I was nervous about leaving my baby girl but when I met Isabella I knew she was perfect to watch her and she instantly had me trusting her and I was right. I highly recommend her and have already rebooked her for another upcoming trip.”
“Delmy was great! My dog loved spending time at her house and he got lots of belly rubs! She sent multiple pictures throughout the day and he seemed comfortable and happy. Would definitely recommend.”
“Denise is amazing & super sweet! she took such good care of our sweet Melo. She sent us pictures often & took him places. We were so happy to see how well he was taken care of after our bad experience with a boarding facility. Melo loves her & we can’t wait to use her in the future!”
“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 💗”
“Dawn was wonderful! Our two dogs stayed with her for the weekend. She has a big fenced-in backyard for playtime and couches for snuggles! We received texts and photos with updates and knew they had a nice, relaxed visit. Dawn took great care of our little ones!”

“Our dog Blanche had a great stay with Theresa and her family! We were given at least two updates a day with pictures. We will definitely book again for a future stay.”
About: I can still cry when I tell someone the story of when I got my first dog at 13yrs old. I held that adorable golden retriever pup and cried asking if it was really mine! The story of bringing another golden retriever into the lives of my daughters can yet again bring me to tears! Such precious memories! I am now on my second chocolate lab (easier hair drying time lol). Anyway a dog enters my life it is always special. That includes my daughter's cockapoo who has stolen my heart! Whenever I am out and see a dog, no matter what the breed, I always ask to say hello and give a pet! My family and friends sometimes call me the "Dog whisperer" because I am always ready to help should a question arise about care. I have cared for friends and family dogs many times and am ready to help with yours and create a special bond while doing so! I'm currently working in a school. Therefore, my availability during the week is limited. I am available for pop ins and walks after 4pm. Saturday and Sunday I have more availability and during the summer months. I walk my dog every morning and enjoy playing in my backyard. I am always giving lots of love and attention be it snuggles or cookies! Of course the cookies are given in moderation even when it is hard to resist the eyes of my dog asking for one!
“Veronique G and family took great care of Remi. Remi looked like she was part of the family. Thanks so much for caring for my girl and helping with last minute accommodations. Thanks again. Remi will be back.”
About: I have owned and taken care of various breeds of dogs for over four decades. I currently have a 4 year old Golden Retriever named Duke. My goal is to provide your pet with the same care that I give my own. I only take one client at a time so I can provide you and your pet the best possible experience. I currently work part time from home so have plenty of time to interact with your pet. I have a husband and 2 children (12 and 14) that also love animals. I have a fenced in yard and a very friendly dog that will keep your dog company. I am able to crate as long as you provide the crate.

About: Neighbors and family have relied on me to care for their pets, including elderly and special needs animals, as well as exotic reptiles and birds, many times.

I live with my large family, and my roommates have two dogs and two cats, all of which are friendly. We have two spare crates for visitors so let me know if your dog is crate trained! Please keep in mind that my partner joins me for house sitting bookings. We have two cats together and he is also certified by Rover :)

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.

She followed all our instructions carefully. She also kept everything neat and clean.

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 have been watching and taking care of friends/family dogs for years and have raised my own since he was a 8 weeks old. I can clip nails, bath give ear/eye treatments if ever needed. I work remotely from home for the most part and would only accept to care if I am home that day. I have a 30 lb Klee Kai mix at home who would accompany your pet on walks/play time and naps. Walks would be about every 2-3 hours for potty breaks. For extra outdoor play time we could go out on the large patio on my floor. Pets are allowed to hang out and nap on couch
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: 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.

About: From reptiles to horses, i've been working in animal hospitals, hotels, petsitting and rescues for more than half my life. Love every type of animal and treat them always like my own. I have been in this industry for about 18years. It’s truly a passion of mine to ensure the best care is provided and to give owners peace of mind when they have to leave their pets or be able to help those who have never had to care for a hurt/sick fur baby. I have an American bully named Apex, a cat named Whiskey, 2 conures and a ball python. I am no stranger to the care and comfort needs of all breeds and species of animals. They are all loved and cared for diligently to make sure they feel at home and comfortable in any surrounding

About: I've been caring for pets since I was 14 years old. What started with helping neighbors and family friends quickly grew through word-of-mouth recommendations from people who trusted me with their beloved pets. In addition to caring for others' animals, I grew up with a dog, cat, and guinea pig, giving me firsthand experience with the daily responsibilities and joys of pet ownership. Animals have always been a huge part of my life, and my love for them inspired me to pursue a degree in Wildlife Science. After recently graduating and moving back home, I'm excited to reconnect with my community and find opportunities to care for animals again. Whether it's walks, drop-in visits, feeding, playtime, or providing companionship, I’m dedicated to making sure every pet feels safe, happy, and well cared for while their owners are away. I look forward to meeting you and your furry, scaled, feathered, etc. family members! Since moving back home, I have plenty of time throughout the week and on weekends, so collaborating our schedules will be simple and straightforward :) In your home, I will be sure to follow your specific care instructions very closely, as well as respect everything in the home as if it were my own. I love to send updates throughout my visits with pictures and videos so you don’t feel like you have to keep inquiring about how everything is going. Whether we're on a walk or spending time at home, I'll provide compassionate care and make sure your pet feels happy and comfortable.
About: I have had dogs for pets for over 30 years. I have been immersed in the everyday rhythm of dogs — raising my own with steady patience and learning the subtle cues that only decades of experience can teach. Along the way, he became the person friends and neighbors relied on whenever their dogs needed real attention, not just a quick walk. From energetic pups to older dogs who need a gentler pace. I bring seasoned instincts, calm leadership, and a reputation built on showing up, knowing what each dog needs, and treating every one of them like family. I work full time with rotating hours and days off. Even though I work full time I am very flexible.and can help with last minute notice. Even though I will not be taking care of dogs in my home, I can be trusted in your home to crate the dogs, let them out, or take them for a walk.
“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.”
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.
“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!”
“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’ve always had a love for animals. My family always tells me I’d be a good dog/cat sitter because of how much I love playing and spending time with animals I’m currently attending school to become an Xray Tech. While school takes up most of my time, I don’t have time for a full time job so I’m looking to offer my help to those who need help with their fur babies whenever I can I love and care for others animals the same way I’d care for my own. My main goal is ensuring the safety of my pet
“Claudia was amazing with our anxious pup! She was incredibly patient and took the time to make him feel comfortable and safe. She played with him, gave him lots of attention, and sent us great pics to put our minds at ease. Would highly recommend Claudia and would absolutely book her again!”
About: I’ve worked at PetSmart in the pets hotel taking care of 18 dogs at a time. Cleaning and feeding too. Keeping the pets engaged is important. I have a pretty open schedule so I have a lot of availability to keep care for the dogs. I have lots of flexibility with my schedule. Keeping engagement with the dogs is important. Playing or even just keeping company. I also have a very sweet dog that loves meeting other dogs and people.
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: 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: Growing up, I was surrounded by both cats and dogs. This gave me a deep understanding of their unique needs and behaviors. I’m adept at managing their varied personalities, from the playful energy of dogs to the independent nature of cats. My lifelong experience has taught me how to provide tailored care, ensuring both cats and dogs receive the attention they need, whether it’s through engaging play, gentle grooming, or adhering to their individual routines. This familiarity allows me to offer a comforting and attentive environment, making sure your pets feel cherished and secure while you're away. I understand how nerve-racking it can be to find the best care for your furry children, I’m here to provide that. I am typically free after 5pm on Tuesdays and after 5:30pm on Fridays. My availability on the weekends depends so the earlier the notice, the better! Whether caring for pets in my home or yours, I prioritize creating a safe, comfortable environment tailored to their needs. In my home, I offer a pet-friendly space with all the necessary amenities, including cozy resting spots. I do not have any pets in my home so all eyes will be on your furry friend. I maintain a clean and secure environment, ensuring that your pets feel at ease. When caring for them at your home, I respect their familiar surroundings while providing the same high standard of care. I follow their routine meticulously, from feeding and exercise to playtime and medication, and make sure to keep their environment as comfortable and stress-free as possible. My goal is to ensure your pets are happy and well-cared for, no matter where they are.
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.
“We needed someone to let out and walk Molly, our 35 lb lab mix, while we were away for a weekend. Molly's a bit nervous and didn't do well when we left her at a dog kennel previously. Felicia made us feel comfortable right away, and Molly was smitten too. I would highly recommend Felicia to anyone looking for a special someone to take care of their pets.”
About: I've had the pleasure of dog sitting for family friends & neighbors for the last 6 years as well as having my own pup (a 6 year old Boston Terrier). I am excellent with puppies, and enjoy teaching them new tricks. Your dog is a very important member of your family and I look forward to meeting their wagging tail! Dogs must be spayed/neutered. Please disclose if your pet has any bite or aggression history. I am available during the week to check in on and take care of your dog, have some needed play time, and take them for a walk if requested. I intend to follow any given instructions on your dog's routine to ensure they are happy and comfortable at all times! If permitted I can also bring my dog as a playmate.

“I can’t say enough about Vanessa and her family! We left our labradoodle with her for the weekend and received tons of videos, pictures and text messages about how Brandy was doing.

About: Neighbors and family have relied on me to care for their pets, including elderly and special needs animals, as well as exotic reptiles and birds, many times. I’m a part-time student in eco-toxicology at this time studying online so I’m around full time for pet care, feel free to reach out for care any day of the week! I live with my large family, and my roommates have two dogs and two cats, all of which are friendly. We have two spare crates for visitors so let me know if your dog is crate trained! Please keep in mind that my partner joins me for house sitting bookings. We have two cats together and he is also certified by Rover :)
“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!”
“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.”
“Marcia is wonderful! Any time Beauford gets to go see Marcia to stay all I have to do is say “Beaufie” do you want to go to Marcia’s house- and he jumps up and runs to the door!! I feel so safe when he is at her home.”
“I had the best experience with Amber boarding my pup. From the start, she made me feel completely comfortable. She sent me daily updates with pictures and videos, and it was so reassuring to see how happy and well cared for Chase was. You can truly tell she loves what she does. I’m beyond grateful for the care she gave my pup and will definitely be returning. I highly recommend her to anyone looking for someone trustworthy, loving, and reliable! ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐”
“John had our Rosie for 5 days over an holiday weekend and she had a great time!! She was well cared for, got her exercise in and made a furry bestie too!! John followed through on all of our feeding and sleeping instructions. I loved that he was in constant contact with me keeping me abreast of how she was eating and sleeping. I received adorable pictures of her draped in a Fourth of July scarf with her new bestie!! We highly recommend John for your pooch!! We promise, you will NOT be disappointed!!!!”
“Caroline was amazing with our pup! Not only was she able to fit us in last minute when we were in a pinch, but she made my pup feel so at home in her home while we were out of town. Not having to worry about your pup while you’re out of town because you know they are being cared for and loved by someone makes it so much easier to go away.”
“Kristen was very accommodating to our shy rescue pup, Maizie. She got all the attention and was well looked after and I have booked Kristen to watch her for another stay.”

“I’d give 100 stars if I could. I’d never used Rover.com before and we were in a last minute bind with our new puppy, scheduled to go on vacation, when our sitter fell through. Samantha is exactly who you want to care for your pet. She’s so knowledgeable, loving, and kind with a true passion for caring for animals. She was so great with communication, sending us updates, pics, and videos and following our pup’s routine. I’m so at ease to know we now have someone like Samantha in our life to help us with our guy! She was truly heaven sent. Highly recommend. Thank you Sam!”
“Thank you so much!! We were so lucky to have found your family to watch over our baby Beauford!!! Thank you for staying in touch and sending the wonderful photos!!!!”
