“Vanessa is incredible. The whole family loved our dogs like they were their own. She was communicative and flexible - truly couldn’t ask for a better experience.”
“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.”
“Diana was amazing with my pup, Louis! He had an absolute blast — especially getting to run around outside and play with the other dogs and kids, which is such a treat for him since he doesn’t get that kind of freedom in Manhattan. I could tell he was well cared for and totally in his element. Communication was great, with tons of photos daily, and I felt completely at ease knowing he was in such a loving, fun environment. I’d strongly recommend Diana to anyone looking for a thoughtful and responsible sitter — we’ll definitely be booking with her again!”

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 have owned and been around dogs my entire life. I’m loving, caring, reliable, and will take the best care of your dog(s), as well as your home! I am happily retired and available mostly everyday to provide reliable, and loving care for your dog. I’m around most holidays and weekends as well. I closely listen to your needs and concerns and I will carry out any requirements you have for your dog(s). I give tons of hugs and belly rubs!
“Ginia was wonderful! Quick to respond to messages and kept me updated with messages, photos and videos. It was clear she takes great care in what she does. Milo had a great weekend with her!”
About: I’ve been caring for cats for over 20 years and truly understand how important it is to have someone dependable, attentive, and loving caring for your pets while you’re away. As a pet owner myself, I know the feeling of wanting updates, photos, and reassurance that your pets are happy, comfortable, and staying on their normal routine. I have experience caring for cats and dogs with a variety of personalities and medical needs, including administering pills, injections and transdermal medications. I also previously owned two Sphynx cats, so I’m very familiar with special care requirements, including bathing, skin care, temperature sensitivity, and maintaining a consistent feeding and medication schedule. In addition to cats, I’ve also owned a Miniature Pinscher along with 4 cats for the better part of 20 years. I currently have a beautiful domestic long hair and 2 energetic Bengal cats, so I’m comfortable with high-energy pets, playful personalities, and multi-pet households. I understand that pet care is more than just feeding animals — it’s making sure they feel safe, loved, comfortable, and stress-free while their owners are away. I also know how important it is to return home to pets that are well cared for and a clean, tidy environment. I’m available for drop-in visits, feeding visits, playtime, walks, medication administration, companionship visits, and helping maintain your pets’ normal daily routine while you’re away. I’m extremely responsive, available virtually anytime, and believe communication is one of the most important parts of pet sitting. I provide frequent updates, photos, and check-ins so you always feel connected to your pets and comfortable knowing they’re in good hands.

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.

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.
“From the very first meeting with Ginia and her sweet dog Bella I knew my Mikki would be very much well at home and very well taken care of...I have booked 2 days/week daycare over 9 weeks this summer with Ginia and her dog Bella and honestly could not be happier! Mikki is very excited, wagging her tail when Ginia comes to greet us in the morning when I drop her off early before having to catch my train. Ginia is extremely personable, accommodating with my schedule and affectionate with my Mikki. I also get regular updates throughout the day. I am really so appreciative to have found Ginia and I trust her completely.”
About: Hi, I'm Jill! I'm a stay-at-home mom, Marine veteran, and lifelong dog lover. Dogs have been a part of my world for as long as I can remember, and caring for them is second nature to me. I am also a certified dog groomer, so I understand what it takes to keep pups looking and feeling their best. When your dog stays with me, they will be treated like one of my dachshunds who are friendly, playful, and used to having company. My goal is for every dog to feel like they are spending time with family- safe, happy, and loved. I am home most of the day and have a flexible schedule for drop-offs, pick-ups, or day care. Since I am around often, your dog will get plenty of attention, playtime, and supervision. I have a nice-sized fenced yard that is perfect for running around and playing fetch. There is a dog door for easy access to the yar throughout the day, so pups can stretch their legs whenever they like. Inside, dogs are part of the family- they can nap on comfy beds, lounge with me, and sleep in bed unless you prefer otherwise. My home is calm, cozy, and full of love.

“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: 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: 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.
“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: My name is Alex and I would love to care for your furbabies as if they were my own! I host one family at a time (up to three pets from the same family). This ensures a premium experience for your pet that is calm, friendly and enjoyable. I do not have children or any pets of my own-this way I am be able to maintain a stress free environment for your pet to avoid any anxiety or nervousness around children or new animals. It is my job to put you and your pets at ease while you are away or busy. I want to ensure a stress free experience for all. 🐾 I will always be around to supervise the animals while I petsit! I offer a happy and calming experience for your pet in which they will enjoy lots of attention and cuddles/playtime from me or naps and comfort time and relaxing music should they desire. I’ve taken care of a number pets throughout my life. I grew up with small terriers and had fish too. Friends animals were always like my own. I adopted my beloved cat Calvin when I was 21 and in December 2022, 11 years later, he passed away leaving a hole in my heart. He had many health problems such as asthma and IBS, for which he was on several daily medications. This taught me to administer oral medication in pill pockets and use an inhaler attachment for him. I miss being around animals in general now that he’s been gone. I am looking so much forward to being able to provide boarding in my lakeside home. At this time, I’m not able to offer housesitting, very happily offer drop ins house sits and walks! Kindly note: * if your dog has a history of aggression towards people or has indoor accidents frequently I will not be able to host them. *Experience with breeds such as greyhounds, who may need a more quiet atmosphere I am available consistently at the moment as I run a part time home business. 24 hour consistent time with your pet is ensured. If they wish they can also sleep in the bedroom/bed. The fenced yard is big enough to run around supervised and also has tiered retaining walls. I also have a separate area for a cat(s) and a walk in closet style litter box “room”. I have plenty of toys, treats and catnip. At this time, I’m not able to offer boarding, very happily offer drop ins house sits and walks!
About: I have a B.S. in animal science with the goal of going to veterinary school. I have experience as a vet assistant in a small animal hospital, as well as a variety of animal experiences. I was a part of a college club training future guiding eyes for the blind dogs, where I also became a certified sitter for Guiding Eyes for the blind. I owned and cared for a Shih Tzu for 15 years and have watched friends' and family's dogs. I'm currently working part-time, so I will have plenty of time to walk and play with your dogs! I'm available all day on weekends and on Wednesdays. I am currently available on Tuesdays and Thursdays after 11:30 am. Your pet will be well supervised with plenty of affection. I have a bachelor's degree in animal science and experience as a veterinary assistant, so I’m comfortable caring for pets with different needs, personalities, and medical routines.
“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:)”
“Thank you for another great week! We so appreciate the thoughtful gift as well. Have a great weekend and we will be in touch as soon as we figure out our schedules. :)”
About: I grew up with every type of animal, and it has made me love and appreciate them all endlessly! I have always been extremely passionate about caring for animals, and love that you are willing to trust me with yours! All size, all ages, just for drop-in or for boarding, I do it all (even last minute)! I work part time, and am mostly free depending on the day! I understand life can be busy, so I am absolutely willing to work with you and around busy schedules :) I follow all instructions given by the owner, and live in an extremely animal friendly complex! I will go above and beyond to make sure your pet is safe, comfortable, and happy.
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.
“Can’t say enough good things about Kayla! She was so accommodating with her schedule, amazing with updates both on her arrival/pictures of Emmy and just overall so sweet. We will definitely recommend her to anyone and be using her again ☺️”

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’ve cared for animals almost my entire life and have experience with cats, dogs, kittens, senior pets, and high-energy breeds. As a multi-cat household owner myself, I understand how important it is to have someone patient, dependable, and attentive caring for your pets while you’re away. I’m comfortable with feeding schedules, medications, litter maintenance, walks, playtime, enrichment, and giving pets the love and attention they need to feel safe and comfortable. I genuinely treat every animal like family and know how stressful it can be leaving them with someone new. I’m especially experienced with cats and understand different personalities, from shy and anxious pets to energetic attention-seekers. I work from home, with a very flexible daily schedule. I’m available virtually anytime throughout the day & night, as well as weekends. I understand animals all have different schedules and the importance of keeping to their routines.

I’m currently on maternity leave for the next few months and home on the weekends so I am available and around to play all day and night. I have a fenced yard and 2 dogs of my own. A great neighbor with sidewalks for walking. I have an open concept spacious house but also have a separated finished basement space to use if needed/wanted.
“Great experience with Alexandra!! Very reliable, responsible, great communication prior to booking and throughout stay. Sent pictures and video on daily basis as we requested. Was willing to send less if that was our preference. Our dog looked like she was having a great time which put our minds at ease throughout the vacation that she was being well cared for. She watches only one dog at a time with her friendly dog. The house is clean and spacious. She took Out dog for walks. Would highly recommend.”
“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.”
“My dog Vahla had a great time! She was so comfortable and relaxed. It was so nice to see all the pictures and in every one of them she looked happy. Was a great experience for all of us especially Vahla!”
“Danielle is Ernie’s favorite! She gave him a true “home away from home”, and me daily peace of mind updates with photos. She will be my first phone call next time.”
