About: For the comfort and safety of every pup, I only host one family’s dog at a time. This allows me to give your dog my full attention and maintain a calm, low stress environment. My care goes beyond the basics. it’s rooted in genuine love and experience. My journey caring for Kayne, our special needs dog, taught me how to handle medical routines, provide comfort, and stay attentive to every detail. That experience shaped my approach to every pet I welcome. I understand that each animal deserves patience, respect, and love. Whether your pet is playful, shy, or needs a little extra care, they’ll always be treated like family in our home. We’re CPR and First Aid certified, giving you extra peace of mind while your pup is in our care. Pet care is woven into my daily life and something I genuinely love. As a stay at home mom, I’m home full time to give every furry friend constant love and attention. Our days revolve around walks, playtime, and snuggles. Caring for our late dog, Kayne, who developed a spinal injury and heart condition, taught me that true care takes patience, compassion, and adaptability qualities I bring to every pet I meet. In our home, every animal is treated like family. I provide a clean, safe, and active space with multiple walks, a fenced yard for play, and individualized routines. Through my experience caring for Kayne, who required special medical attention, I learned how to adapt to any level of care whether it’s energetic puppies or older companions needing extra comfort. You can feel confident knowing your pet is in loving, capable hands that treat them as one of our own.
About: I have hands-on experience working with animals through both therapy dog work and my previous experience as an assistant to a veterinary technician. This has given me a strong understanding of animal behavior, health, and how to handle pets with care, patience, and confidence. I’m comfortable supporting pets with different needs and always focus on making them feel safe, calm, and well cared for. Working from home allows me to be a consistent, calming presence for your pet throughout the day whether at my home or yours. I truly enjoy spending that time with them—whether it’s going on walks, giving them attention, or just being nearby so they don’t feel alone. I know every pet is different, so I follow their lead and make sure they feel comfortable and secure, whether they’re full of energy or prefer a more relaxed, quiet routine. I keep your pet’s routine consistent while providing attentive care, companionship, and a calm presence. Whether it’s walks, playtime, or quiet time, I adapt to their needs and make sure they feel safe and comfortable while you’re away. I am also a photographer which could lead to getting some great photos while you are away!

“I cannot recommend this amazing dog sitter in Pendik enough! From the moment I entrusted my furry friend to their care, I knew I made the right choice. They were incredibly gentle and caring, ensuring my dog felt comfortable and loved throughout the stay. What truly impressed me was their commitment to keeping me updated; I received regular messages, along with adorable pictures and videos that made my day! It was clear that my pup was in excellent hands. This won’t be the first time, and it certainly won’t be the last time she will be dog sitting my dog again. Thank you for providing such a wonderful experience for both me and my dog.”
“Kathy was an amazing pet sitter. My dog stayed for three nights and had the best time playing with her sweet dog Ollie. Kathy was incredibly attentive and kind. My dog had hurt her leg prior to going over there and she even took the time to gently massage her leg ( after checking with me) It really meant a lot knowing my dog was so cared for uncomfortable. I wouldn’t hesitate to book with Kathy again and highly recommend her!”
“"I cannot recommend our pet sitter enough! They provided exceptional care for our puppy while we attended a wedding Our pet “gigi” was happy, Marcela went above and beyond, sending us regular updates and photos to give us peace of mind.

“Jen was great with our dog. She sent tons of pictures and updates. My dog came back healthy and happy. We will for sure use her again for sitting. Thank you Jen for taking such good care of Winston.”
“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! ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐”
About: I've grown up with dogs all my life. My Eagle Scout project was to help create storage and kits for a dog rescue agency and since then I've helped foster 5 dogs and doggysat for numerous friends and family. I give dogs my time and attention and try to pay attention to their preferences and habits. I am a college student so I have flexibility to care for animals during summer and winter breaks. I love being able to chill on the couch next to dogs so they feel cared for and loved. I have a fenced yard and two very sweet dogs who have been mentors to our foster dogs. We have toybaskets everywhere and a regular routine for feeding and care.

I highly recommend John as he will give your pet plenty of attention and peace of mind!!!”

About: I've always been such a huge animal lover and always took care of my own cats, dogs, guinea pigs and birds.

I work full time now but I make my own schedule! I'll be able to be reliable and work around the needs of anyone's babies! In my clients home I always have respect and take care of not only the pets but the home and property when I'm there always.

Thank you Emily for letting us enjoy our vacation!”

About: I’ve spent years caring for cats of all personalities, including shy and rescue cats who need extra patience and understanding. Through my experience with TNR and cat care, I’ve learned how to read behavior and build trust at each cat’s pace. I know that cats thrive on routine and comfort, so I always do my best to keep their environment calm and familiar while you’re away. Whether that means playtime, feeding, litter care, or simply sitting quietly so they feel safe, I adjust to what your cat needs. I truly respect that every cat is different—and I love taking the time to get to know their unique personality and quirks. My goal is always to make sure your cat feels secure, cared for, and as stress-free as possible until you return.

About: Ever since I was a little girl I have always been surrounded by extra love from my pets. I cannot imagine my life without any of my furbabies that I’ve had the honor of loving and caring for along the way. Both my dog, Champ and my cat, Shea currently have my heart. They are the absolute best of friends. I’m inseparable from my dog. He is an Akita-Husky mix who recently just celebrated his 12th birthday. When I’m not at work teaching, I’m usually bringing him on adventures. From strolls through Port Jefferson, to hiking upstate to road trips to Connecticut, he has definitely become quite the explorer. It is my hope to be able to meet your four-legged family member and to help put your mind at ease knowing your furbabies are safe and cared for :) I’m currently a teacher and off for the summer so I have plenty of time to care for your fur babies as much as you need :) Your trust is the most important thing to me. I will ensure you home is found exactly how you left it while also ensuring your pet is in the best hands possible! :)

I truly enjoy spending that time with them—whether it’s going on walks, giving them attention, or just being nearby so they don’t feel alone. I know every pet is different, so I follow their lead and make sure they feel comfortable and secure, whether they’re full of energy or prefer a more relaxed, quiet routine. I keep your pet’s routine consistent while providing attentive care, companionship, and a calm presence. Whether it’s walks, playtime, or quiet time, I adapt to their needs and make sure they feel safe and comfortable while you’re away. I am also a photographer which could lead to getting some great photos while you are away!
“Julia went above and beyond to accommodate our very socially anxious dog. He’s always extremely excited to see her again, she stayed with him to calm him down when he was howling out of loneliness, she always replies quickly, and she’ll even bake cookies for the owners. Best experience we’ve had on this app”
About: I love dogs! I am a true dog lover who has cared for dogs my whole life. I am a teacher that has always had a passion for dogs, and have a great deal of experience dog-sitting for neighbors and friends. I currently have two adopted pups. I have an Australian cattle dog/American Staffordshire mix, my beautiful 9 year old girl, named Riley. My older, handsome boy is a Chow/Lab mix named Bane. He is 13 years old. I've had Riley since she was a few weeks old, but I took Bane in when he was about 4 or 5. I currently offer dog walking, drop-in visits, and dog sitting. I am a reliable, punctual, and professional dog lover that will treat your four-legged family members as though they were part of my pack!

“Unfortunately with my job they’ve been making me work 12 hour days… I am so thankful for the help that you have given me! Lola is my baby and has been by my side for nine years! Thank you for making this process so much easier!!!”
“Amanda is absolutely conscientious and dependable, but what REALLY shines is the calm demeanor and gentle nature that won over our old but still a bit rambunctious Mac immediately. Dogs always seem to know who to trust and he wasn't wrong. Sad to see her go, but we'll most definitely hire her again!”

About: As a lifelong animal lover and pet parent to four rescue dogs, I understand that every pet has their own personality, routine, and needs. What sets me apart is the level of care and attention I give to every animal as if they were my own. I have hands-on experience caring for senior dogs, including my 14-year-old blind Boston Terrier, which has given me patience, compassion, and an understanding of the extra care some pets require. I am also comfortable administering medications and following detailed care instructions to help pets stay happy, healthy, and comfortable while you’re away. Whether your pet loves playtime, long walks, cuddles on the couch, or simply sticking to their usual routine, my goal is to provide a safe, loving, and stress-free experience for both pets and their owners. Pet care fits naturally into my daily routine because caring for animals is something I genuinely enjoy. I work full-time at a local high school as the Principal’s Secretary, with regular hours ending at 1:30 PM during the school year and 1:00 PM during the summer, which allows me plenty of time for afternoon, evening, and overnight pet care. I am available for drop-in visits, walks, feeding, medication administration, and companionship before and after work, and I am happy to provide overnight stays when needed so your pets can maintain their routine and have company for longer periods of time. Weekends are generally wide open, allowing me to dedicate even more time and attention to your pets. My goal is always to provide dependable, loving care that gives both you and your pets peace of mind while you’re away. When caring for pets in a client’s home, I do my best to keep their routine as normal and stress-free as possible. I follow feeding schedules, provide fresh water, administer medications if needed, and make sure pets get the exercise, playtime, and attention they’re used to receiving. Whether your pet enjoys long walks, playing fetch, cuddling on the couch, or simply having someone nearby, I adjust my care to fit their individual needs and personality. I understand that every pet is different, so I take the time to learn their routines, preferences, and any special instructions you provide. My goal is to make your pet feel safe, comfortable, and loved while you’re away, while also giving you peace of mind through dependable and attentive care.

About: Hi there! My name is Kevin and I’ve been dog walking and dog sitting for over 10 years. In my experience pet sitting, I would take the dogs on long walks, play fetch, go to a park or even on runs depending on how active the dog is. I would also go over for drop in feedings and bathroom breaks. I’ve been told plenty of times how I must be a dog whisperer since all dogs would gravitate towards me and love me! I am a flight attendant and my schedule will vary monthly but I tend to have mostly similar days & times off with my seniority. I am flexible job permitting and will always find time throughout my schedule to stay active which will be perfect for your dog to accompany on walks. I have experience with small, medium and large dogs. I always do whatever the pet parents request before leaving (leave dog in designated area of the house, wipe feet before entering back into the house, etc.)

“Ashley did amazing. She had both of our dogs this time (double the trouble) but they came back very happy and well cared for. I can't recommend this sitter enough. She is amazing.”
About: For the comfort and safety of every pup, I only host one family’s dog at a time. This allows me to give your dog my full attention and maintain a calm, low stress environment. My care goes beyond the basics. it’s rooted in genuine love and experience. My journey caring for Kayne, our special needs dog, taught me how to handle medical routines, provide comfort, and stay attentive to every detail. That experience shaped my approach to every pet I welcome. I understand that each animal deserves patience, respect, and love. Whether your pet is playful, shy, or needs a little extra care, they’ll always be treated like family in our home. We’re CPR and First Aid certified, giving you extra peace of mind while your pup is in our care. Pet care is woven into my daily life and something I genuinely love. As a stay at home mom, I’m home full time to give every furry friend constant love and attention. Our days revolve around walks, playtime, and snuggles. Caring for our late dog, Kayne, who developed a spinal injury and heart condition, taught me that true care takes patience, compassion, and adaptability qualities I bring to every pet I meet. In our home, every animal is treated like family. I provide a clean, safe, and active space with multiple walks, a fenced yard for play, and individualized routines. Through my experience caring for Kayne, who required special medical attention, I learned how to adapt to any level of care whether it’s energetic puppies or older companions needing extra comfort. You can feel confident knowing your pet is in loving, capable hands that treat them as one of our own.
About: I have hands-on experience working with animals through both therapy dog work and my previous experience as an assistant to a veterinary technician. This has given me a strong understanding of animal behavior, health, and how to handle pets with care, patience, and confidence. I’m comfortable supporting pets with different needs and always focus on making them feel safe, calm, and well cared for. Working from home allows me to be a consistent, calming presence for your pet throughout the day whether at my home or yours.

I know every pet is different, so I follow their lead and make sure they feel comfortable and secure, whether they’re full of energy or prefer a more relaxed, quiet routine. I keep your pet’s routine consistent while providing attentive care, companionship, and a calm presence.

I am also a photographer which could lead to getting some great photos while you are away!
“I cannot recommend this amazing dog sitter in Pendik enough! From the moment I entrusted my furry friend to their care, I knew I made the right choice. They were incredibly gentle and caring, ensuring my dog felt comfortable and loved throughout the stay. What truly impressed me was their commitment to keeping me updated; I received regular messages, along with adorable pictures and videos that made my day! It was clear that my pup was in excellent hands. This won’t be the first time, and it certainly won’t be the last time she will be dog sitting my dog again. Thank you for providing such a wonderful experience for both me and my dog.”
“Kathy was an amazing pet sitter. My dog stayed for three nights and had the best time playing with her sweet dog Ollie. Kathy was incredibly attentive and kind. My dog had hurt her leg prior to going over there and she even took the time to gently massage her leg ( after checking with me) It really meant a lot knowing my dog was so cared for uncomfortable. I wouldn’t hesitate to book with Kathy again and highly recommend her!”
“Jen was great with our dog. She sent tons of pictures and updates. My dog came back healthy and happy. We will for sure use her again for sitting. Thank you Jen for taking such good care of Winston.”
“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! ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐”
“I always trust that my dog will be safe and happy when he goes to Kerri’s. She is great with him but also super responsive with me. Always love seeing photos of my dog having a great time while I am away. Thanks Kerri!”
“Cindy is amazing! I needed a last minute sitter and this was my first time using Rover. Cindy sent photos throughout the day and was so communicative. Definitely will be booking again!”
“Ashley saved Christmas! We have an allergic nephew and needed to drop Moby off somewhere. Ashley accepted Moby and he had a blast with her dogs and her enormous gated property. The most fun he’s had in a long time! We are very grateful Ashley was available for the holiday booking.”
“Having just moved to Long Island, my husband and I were in search of a reliable dog sitter for our dog, Kilo. We always had friends watch him in Miami, and were a bit nervous leaving Kilo with a stranger for 3 nights. Initially, we checked out some kennels in the area, and found them quite depressing. That led us to look on Rover, and Daniel's profile came up first. I reached out to Daniel to inquire about booking with him, and within minutes Daniel had responded and we set up a meet and greet for later that night. I stopped by with Kilo to see Daniel's set up/house. I could immediately tell that he was a dog person and was going to treat my dog as his own! I was nervous because Kilo can be a little territorial with other large males, but Daniel reassured me that everything would be fine. I dropped Kilo off later that week for his stay with Daniel and his family. Daniel sent pictures of Kilo playing outside and responded to any questions/concerns I had about Kilo during his stay. I felt totally confident that my dog was in good hands at his house. Daniel and his family will definitely be my dog people on the island! I absolutely recommend their services. I've already booked Kilo's next stay, and I also look forward to dropping Kilo off every once in a while for day care services just so he can run around and play with other dogs in a safe environment!”
“Toni and family watched our 1 yr old Staffy, Rocky while we went away on vacay for about 5 days. We got regular pics and updates on how he was doing which helped with peace of mind. Rocky was on a special diet and meds due to tummy issues a couple of weeks prior and Toni was very accommodating. She also kept Rocky separate from her dogs due to him not being used to having to share space with other pups which I appreciated. Rocky seems to have been well taken care of and we would definitely use Toni's services in the future if need be.”
“We had Jennifer watch our older GSD Dolly for the first time this week. Jennifer and her husband took very good care of our girl, were very attentive to her needs. She sent pictures of a happy, smiling dog to us, which we appreciated. Looking forward to using Jennifer for a much longer stay in the near future. They are definitely dog people.”
“Great experience with my two large dogs. One is 11 months old and a handful. The other is 8 years old. Jeff spent time working with both dogs on their leash behavior. I received numerous photos and videos during the weekend they were boarded. I felt like they were in very good hands.”
“Apryl was great watching my dog while I was away. She’s friendly patient and knowledgeable and I had no worries leaving my Penny with her. Definitely recommend her services”
