“Had such a wonderful experience with John. From the moment we dropped our pup off, we felt completely at ease knowing she was in caring and capable hands. Communication was great throughout and Cookie came home happy, relaxed, and clearly well cared for, which says everything. It’s obvious that every dog is treated like family and in a clean and safe space. We wouldn’t hesitate to book again and highly recommend John to anyone looking for trustworthy care for their pet!”
“Rachel and Henrik (and their two wonderful kids!) watched our two Goldendoodles for the weekend, and we couldn’t have had a better experience. From the start, it was clear this was a perfect fit—we did a meet-and-greet beforehand, and instantly felt comfortable. Their home is beautiful, clean, and has a great backyard where our dogs had plenty of space to run and play. More importantly, our dogs were treated like part of the family—they got tons of attention, snuggles, and care all weekend. We also really appreciated the frequent updates and photos, which gave us total peace of mind. When we dropped them off, our dogs were so excited they ran right in without hesitation—that says everything. You can truly tell how much Rachel and Henrik love dogs and care for them as their own. One of the nicest families we’ve met, and we felt completely at ease knowing our dogs were so well cared for. We will absolutely be using them again and highly recommend them to anyone looking for exceptional dog care.”
“Vanessa was an absolutely wonderful dog sitter for our dog, Candy. She was kind, professional, and clearly experienced with dogs. She took the time to understand Candy’s routine, personality, and needs, which gave us so much peace of mind. While we were away, Vanessa kept us updated daily with videos and pictures. Our kids were so excited every day to receive them, it really made the time apart so much easier and more enjoyable for the whole family. It was clear Candy was happy, comfortable, and well cared for. Vanessa truly went above and beyond to make sure Candy felt safe and loved. We would highly recommend her to anyone. We will definitely be reaching out to her again in the future!”
“Kerri was a fantastic sitter for my active lab. She kept me updated and sent tons of pictures daily of him having the time of his life. They cared for him as if he was their own and I couldn’t be more grateful. Macallan cannot wait to stay with Kerri and her family again!”
About: I have 2.5 years of experience working as a veterinarian assistant for a family-owned and operated animal hospital. Aspects of my job include restraining, handling, medicating, feeding, grooming, bathing, and caring for any pets who may board with us at the hospital. I have comfortably handled dogs of all breeds, sizes, ages, needs, and temperaments, and I am confident in my ability to care for dogs of all life stages. My schedule is extremely flexible and I am never away from home for more than four hours any day of the week, which means plenty of time for potty breaks, playtime, and feedings. I have a fully enclosed, insulated, temperature controlled, spacious gazebo on my property surrounded by a pet-proof fenced-in playpen. The inside is divided into four sections, so I can board up to four dogs no bigger than 40lbs at one time, and each pet will have his or her own space indoors for eating and sleeping. Outside, the pets will be able to interact and play, and they will always be supervised.
“Chief had a wonderful time with Jennifer and her family. He was well taken care of and we received lots of communication and pictures/videos. We look forward to Chief's next visit with Jennifer.”
“Kristin took wonderful care of our puppy, Scruffy for two days while my family and I were away. Kristin sent us photos and videos of Scruffy and was always available to respond quickly to our messages. Our puppy was in great hands while we were away. I will definitely look to board Scruffy with Kristin again on our next trip!”
“Samantha has taken such great care of our fur babies. She is caring and loves them like they were her own pets. I can always count on her to give them the attention they need. They are both senior dogs and need special attention and care. I would not hesitate to use her when we need her services. I would highly recommend her any time.”
“Gabby is wonderful. She cared for our dog for the first time for 6 days and it went really well. My dog is older and prefers a quiet setting so Gabby was a perfect fit as she only cared for one other dog during the stay which was perfect. She communicates daily (including pictures) and gives her guests lots of attention. I'll definitely use Gabby again!”
“Sal’s 3rd stay with Theresa. He literally pulls me to the door when I drop him off. She is fantastic and Sal gets plenty of exercise with her. I will be back again”
“Sara and her family are wonderful! Our dog Ember has stayed with her many times over the last few years and always has a great time. Sara sends frequent updates and I always feel comfortable knowing that Ember is getting amazing care. Thank you Sara :)”
“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.”
“Kathy was very friendly and responsive to my inquiries. She made sure to learn all of Rosie's health information, dietary needs, veterinarian information, etc. When I picked up Rosie, I could tell she was treated like a member of their household and was well-taken care of!”
“Catherine was amazing! Her and her husband were very sweet and knowledgeable! They took the time to do a proper meet and greet which helped my dog get to know them and made my experience so comforting to know exactly where my dog would be as well as get to know who my dog would be staying with. They sent updates throughout the entire time. My dog was so happy, well cared for, and felt at home. Highly recommended booking Catherine!”
“Thank you so much for watching kylo this weekend! We appreciate how you always make him feel right at home and provide multiple updates throughout the stay on how he’s doing. He loves your family and is always eager to run up to your house.”
“Yaina is so thoughtful and caring we will trust her with our pup anytime! She gave frequent updates and cared for our dog like her own. We cannot thank her enough for making the first time we left our dog for vacation absolutely stress free. Would and will recommend her to anyone.”

“As always, Ava was great with our boys! Very communicative if something comes up, or if she has any questions. We get great photos in the Rover cars and our cats always seem very happy and when we get back”
“Sam is the absolute best! I feel very comfortable leaving my dog and cat with her, and letting her into my home. She has amazing communication and sends me plenty of photos and videos during her visit! Will definitely be rebooking for any time that I’ll need her in the future”
“Jordan was very professional and took very good care of our timid, difficult cat. We felt very comfortable leaving her in Jordan’s care. Jordan went above our expectations.”
“Really appreciate Kimberly's dedication, going above and beyond to care for our cat. Much to our surprise they made our cat, who is normally very shy around people, so comfortable he was snuggled up next to her and even requested belly rubs!”
“Emma and Trent did a great job caring for my two cats. They were happy when I returned and they were able to successfully get Delilah to take her meds every morning. I would use them again!”
“Consistently amazing! I’ve hired her multiple times to take care of my floof. She is so good with my cute and anxious cat and always has great communication with me during the time she’s caring for my kitty.”
“Samantha was great with my not very social cat, Priscilla. She sent me pictures daily showing a very content kitty, often petting her as much as Priscilla would allow. Made me feel that I left her good hands. She came over twice a day to feed, socialize and clean litter. The most important thing to me was her understanding and flexibility when I got hurt while I was away and had no idea when I would be home. Also, when the snow storm was bad, she worked with my neighbor to make sure Priscilla had coverage. I would definitely call on Samantha again.”

“Kelly was great! She was so patient with my shy cat and even sat with her while she ate. I had such peace of mind while she took care of my furbabies. I will definitely rebook her again 😻😻”
About: I have owned and cared for several cats through my life and even have a tattoo dedicated to the cat I had from age 4-18. I pet sit for my best friend who has 2 cats and I have pet sit for another friend who's cat has diabetes and am familiar with giving shots and medication as needed.

“Sarah was great checking in on my cats while I away. She kept saying he fed and took care of them and spent time with them so they didn't get lonely. I got photos and updates for each of the visits.”
“Jenna was very good with Travis. It is our 1st time using Rover and I was hesitant as Travis has become very attached to us due to pandemic. Also, 2 years ago we boarded him for 2 weeks and when we came back he was traumatized. We just got home and Travis is well and happy! We are extremely happy with Jenna and will definitely utilize her again and recommend her wholeheartedly.”

“Donna was great with our boy. She was so accommodating to him even though he was a little nervous in a new place. Donna responded immediately to any of my messages and took great care of our puppy. Thank you again Donna!”
About: I've always had a special connection with dogs. Ever since primary school, I volunteered to walk all my neighbors' dogs and would stay to play with them for hours—tug-of-war and frisbee were our favorites. I've walked dogs of all sizes, sometimes up to three at a time. Getting my own puppy was the best thing in the world for me, and I naturally have endless patience for animals. Throughout college, I walked and sat for my piano professor's dog for years—around the neighborhood, and I also drove him to dog parks and beaches. On top of that, I've volunteered at an animal shelter, cleaning dog and cat rooms and socializing with the animals. I currently can't have a dog of my own because I fly in and out for work. That's why I'm doing this part-time — it's never an assembly line for me. Each dog gets my full, individual attention, and I truly make friends with every one of them. I'm a sound designer and composer working on contract-based stage productions, which gives me a flexible schedule. Pet care fits naturally into my daily routine — I walk dogs at least three times a day, feed them as many times as requested, and make sure they get plenty of playtime outside of my work hours. Since I'm not working a rigid 9-to-5, I can easily adjust my day around each dog's needs, whether that means extra cuddles, a longer walk, or a spontaneous trip to the dog park. Plus, because I fly in and out for work and can't have my own dog right now, caring for other people's dogs is something I genuinely look forward to and prioritize every single day. I live in a first-floor condo apartment in a neighborhood with lots of green areas — perfect for dogs who love quick potty breaks and longer sniffing walks. I let dogs free roam throughout my home and they're absolutely allowed on furniture. I treat every dog as if they were my own, which means lots of freedom, comfort, and attention. Since I do this part-time, I never have more than two unfamiliar dogs at once, so each dog gets a calm, focused environment. I'm extremely respectful of their space and routines — I follow all feeding, walking, and medication instructions to the letter, and I always leave things cleaner than I found them.
About: I have nurtured, trained and rehabbed cats, dogs and farm animals for decades and find it incredibly rewarding. I provide a safe and loving environment. I am available for daycare or boarding 24/7, 365 days a year. My services are available year-round and my rates do not increase seasonally or for holidays. I have a 3/4 acre fully fenced yard with secured gates for our 2 dogs. My cats live in the 3 room 'kitty condo' indoors.
“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.”
“Sarah was amazing with my Dexter! He has anxiety from a dog attack and is skittish - she handled him beautifully and he had an absolute blast! She took great care with grouping dogs together to make sure they played appropriately and also ensured he had downtime to relax. I will absolutely use Sarah again for daycare and walks!”
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.
“Amber was very accommodating and communicative. Buster had a great time interacting with her dogs and got to go on a nice walk. We will definitely use her services again in the future!”
About: I love all dogs! They are all so funny, each with their own fun personalities. I love to go for walks with the dogs, sometimes 2 at a time! When your pup is in my care my focus is on keeping them safe and happy! I am retired from working so I like to say that I am a stay at home dog Mom! When I am watching your dog, there is nothing more important to me than your fur baby’s safety and happiness. Since I am home full time I am available for your pup 24/7! I do occasionally leave the house but usually not longer than an hour or two. I have a large fenced in yard and a sweet, fun 2 year old Lab mix who loves to play with dogs of all ages and sizes. I have a 5 month old grand puppy and Reba loves playing with her!
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
“Finding Cheri has been a Godsend. This is the first time we've ever needed daycare and we were hesitant to leave Otto with anyone. On top of that we had a few other experiences with people who were unreliable. Cheri, above all else, is a dog lover in every sense of the word. I see it from the way she greets Otto in the morning, to the way that she texts me during the day to tell me whats he's doing or asking if he can do certain things, to seeing how tired he is at the end of the day from a day of full activity. Cheri walks him, takes him on runs and she and her boys play with him in the backyard all day long. I couldn't be happier with everything she does and recommend her highly to anyone looking to find a safe and healthy place to leave their dog with complete peace of mind.”
“Great communication, clean and safe environment, and most importantly, Cody had a good time 🙂. Thank you so much for taking such a good care of my furbaby.”
“Wonderful family and adorable doodle! Our puppy loves seeing them for day care each week. We couldn’t have found a better family, situation to help us with our puppy while we transitioned back to the office. I HIGHLY recommend Alicia and Jermaine - and their doodle! Our little guy has learned good traits from their pup! They really are the best!”
“Alana and family were great hosts for our little Xena. They treated her like family and took care of her without any issue. They have an adorable doggy area, went on walks and cuddled a bunch! Xena was very happy :) thank you and can’t wait for our next stay!”

“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: I used to walk dogs and dog sit in the past. I have my own dog and I have a family member who does boarding. I am constantly around all different types of dogs and I know how to handle each dog’s personality. I am currently in school and was looking for a job that would be flexible and thought this would be a great because I have done it in the past and loved it and I can work around my schedule. When dog walking I would usually meet the client and the dog first just to go over what they would like me to do like we’re the leash or treats is located, how long they want the walks and what the personality of the dog is like.
About: I’ve always possessed a deep love for animals and have grown up around pets my entire life. I have several years of hands-on experience working at a grooming salon, where I assisted with bathing, feeding, and caring for dogs of all breeds and temperaments. I’ve also volunteered at local animal shelters, which helped me better understand dog behavior, body language, and each pet’s unique emotional needs. I’m patient, dependable, and committed to making every pet feel safe, comfortable, and loved while you’re away. I would be honored to care for your furry family member like they’re my own! 🐾 I recently graduated and am taking a gap year, pursuing additional courses as an aspiring physician assistant and working part-time in healthcare. My schedule is very flexible throughout the week, which allows me to dedicate plenty of time, attention, and care to your pets. I’m generally available most weekdays and weekends, except Thursdays. Your pet’s safety and comfort are my top priorities. I always take the time to understand each dog’s routine, personality, and needs to help them feel comfortable and cared for while you’re away. I’m attentive to body language, feeding schedules, medications if needed, and making sure pets feel safe, loved, and stress-free in their own environment. I’m also happy to provide regular updates and photos for peace of mind.
About: I have been around dogs for most of my life. I have also volunteered at one of the largest assistance dog organizations for more than 13 years. I typically handle between 20-30 dogs of multiple breeds every week. My responsibilities include socialization, light grooming, and free run with playtime. I'm currently training in transportation and first aid I will provide a safe, fun, and playful environment for you Cherished Canine. My horrendous personal experience with pet sitting has alerted me to the pitfalls of in-home pet care.
About: Animals have always been an important part of my life. Growing up, I lived with two tuxedo cats who completely stole my heart. As I got older, I took on many of their daily care responsibilities, including feeding them, cleaning their litter boxes, playing with them, and making sure they felt loved and comfortable. Today, my wife and I are proud pet parents to two black cats. In addition to caring for cats, I have experience watching a toy poodle puppy under one year old. My responsibilities have included taking her outside for regular bathroom breaks, supervising walks, engaging her in play and exercise, teaching basic tricks and commands, reinforcing good behavior, and helping her work through separation anxiety. Caring for a young puppy taught me the importance of consistency, positive reinforcement, patience, and attentiveness to a pet's individual needs. Whether caring for cats or dogs, I am committed to providing a safe, loving, and reliable environment where pets feel comfortable, happy, and well cared for. I understand that every animal has a unique personality, and I strive to give each pet the same level of attention and affection that I would want for my own. i work part time in the mornings and am available most days after 1pm. I am a doctoral student at Stony Brook University, so I am flexible to watch your pup or kitty any time in the afternoons/evenings. If needed, I can do an early morning stop by at 6:30AM prior to heading to work. in my clients home, I will be respectful of property, taking off shoes before entering the house, cleaning up any messes that the animal/myself may create, ensuring the animal has food, water, litter box, toys, etc. accessible, and to lock up the house, windows, and any gates prior to leaving the home. I will always accommodate the clients requests. In my home, I have multiple floors to separate my animals from the animal(s) coming into my home. I also have a fully fenced in, large backyard for a dog to run around in. We have a home security system as well to ensure safety.
About: I had a cat when I was young which I took care of. Along with the cat, I’ve had various beta fish each living beyond expected life spans. When I was 17-19, I took care of my neighbor’s cat while they were on vacation. I’ve also helped take care of my grandmother’s dog for the past 5 years. I take her for walks and play with her. For the past few months, I’ve been volunteering at an animal shelter where my job is to clean the cat rooms and walk the dogs there. I’m currently a full time college student, but I will be available for breaks and over the summer. During breaks, I’m available anytime during the week depending on what days I’m home. During the summer, I have more open availability with any day being free depending on my internship. I’m very gentile whenever I work with animals, especially pets. I make sure an animal feels comfortable around me before getting them to do something. I build trust in the animal so that I can get them into a crate easily.
About: Hello Everyone! I am Omaid, I hold a masters in Design, I used to teach in university. I am on Long Island I am very familiar with dog walking and I get along with dogs.

I am easy going with a lot and care for others like I like respect my clients pet in all forms.
“Absolutely Amazing!!!! Jenna is so kind to my crazy dog and he calms down immediately when she walks in. She sent pictures and updates from every walk. I felt very comfortable having her in my home and with my precious furbaby. Highly recommend!!”

“Emma has been brilliant with communication, flexibility with times and days for walking my dog, she has been a dream dog walker from start to finish. I would highly recommend her services as she really did give my dog the best afternoon out and the photos she took looked like he had a brilliant time! Thank you Emma.”
“My dog Leo loves Sarah! She provided his twice a day walks when I was working long shifts and sent great pictures of my fur baby. It’s clear she loves animals and they love her! It was a relief to find someone with clear communication who is super reliable.”
About: What sets me apart from other sitters is my lifelong love and experience with dogs. I’m 33 years old and have always had a dog in my home, so caring for them is second nature to me. For the past 8 years, I’ve been a dedicated dog sitter and walker, working with pups of all sizes, ages, and breeds. Whether it’s energetic puppies, strong large breeds, or senior dogs who need a gentler touch, I know how to adapt to their unique needs. I treat every dog as if they were my own—making sure they feel safe, happy, and loved while in my care. My priority is not just keeping tails wagging, but also giving you peace of mind knowing your pup is in trustworthy hands. Pet care fits naturally into my daily routine because I genuinely enjoy it and make time for it. I’m currently taking classes to prepare for a nursing program, so I balance my schedule with studying, homework, and extra work on the side. Having pet care built into my week gives me a chance to step away from the books, stay active, and spend time doing something I love. Whether it’s walks, playtime, feeding, or just giving a pet extra attention, I find that caring for animals is the perfect complement to my studies—it keeps me grounded, happy, and motivated. When I care for pets, my priority is making sure they feel safe, loved, and comfortable—whether that’s in my home or in a client’s home. I’ve stayed in clients’ homes for a week at a time, done drop-in visits, and taken dogs on walks, so I’m flexible to what each family needs. In a client’s home, I make sure to follow routines closely—feeding, walks, playtime, and any special instructions—so pets stick to what’s familiar and feel at ease. I treat their home with the same respect as I would my own. I’m also very communicative and know how important updates are when you’re away. I check in regularly with photos, notes, and anything you’d like to know so you always feel connected and reassured. Families I’ve worked with know they can trust me to be reliable, caring, and attentive to every detail.

“Had such a wonderful experience with John. From the moment we dropped our pup off, we felt completely at ease knowing she was in caring and capable hands. Communication was great throughout and Cookie came home happy, relaxed, and clearly well cared for, which says everything. It’s obvious that every dog is treated like family and in a clean and safe space. We wouldn’t hesitate to book again and highly recommend John to anyone looking for trustworthy care for their pet!”
“Rachel and Henrik (and their two wonderful kids!) watched our two Goldendoodles for the weekend, and we couldn’t have had a better experience. From the start, it was clear this was a perfect fit—we did a meet-and-greet beforehand, and instantly felt comfortable. Their home is beautiful, clean, and has a great backyard where our dogs had plenty of space to run and play. More importantly, our dogs were treated like part of the family—they got tons of attention, snuggles, and care all weekend. We also really appreciated the frequent updates and photos, which gave us total peace of mind. When we dropped them off, our dogs were so excited they ran right in without hesitation—that says everything. You can truly tell how much Rachel and Henrik love dogs and care for them as their own. One of the nicest families we’ve met, and we felt completely at ease knowing our dogs were so well cared for. We will absolutely be using them again and highly recommend them to anyone looking for exceptional dog care.”
“Vanessa was an absolutely wonderful dog sitter for our dog, Candy. She was kind, professional, and clearly experienced with dogs. She took the time to understand Candy’s routine, personality, and needs, which gave us so much peace of mind. While we were away, Vanessa kept us updated daily with videos and pictures. Our kids were so excited every day to receive them, it really made the time apart so much easier and more enjoyable for the whole family. It was clear Candy was happy, comfortable, and well cared for. Vanessa truly went above and beyond to make sure Candy felt safe and loved. We would highly recommend her to anyone. We will definitely be reaching out to her again in the future!”

“Kristin took wonderful care of our puppy, Scruffy for two days while my family and I were away. Kristin sent us photos and videos of Scruffy and was always available to respond quickly to our messages. Our puppy was in great hands while we were away. I will definitely look to board Scruffy with Kristin again on our next trip!”
“Samantha has taken such great care of our fur babies. She is caring and loves them like they were her own pets. I can always count on her to give them the attention they need. They are both senior dogs and need special attention and care. I would not hesitate to use her when we need her services. I would highly recommend her any time.”
“Sal’s 3rd stay with Theresa. He literally pulls me to the door when I drop him off. She is fantastic and Sal gets plenty of exercise with her. I will be back again”
“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.”
“Kathy was very friendly and responsive to my inquiries. She made sure to learn all of Rosie's health information, dietary needs, veterinarian information, etc. When I picked up Rosie, I could tell she was treated like a member of their household and was well-taken care of!”
“Yaina is so thoughtful and caring we will trust her with our pup anytime! She gave frequent updates and cared for our dog like her own. We cannot thank her enough for making the first time we left our dog for vacation absolutely stress free. Would and will recommend her to anyone.”
“Rocko had a great time with Alejandro and even made new friends. Alejandro sent me videos every day of Rocko playing with his new friends. I highly recommend Alejandro and will definitely use him in the future.”
“Veronique took such great care of my pup! He had the absolute best time. She really treated him like a little prince. There were so many adorable pic and video updates of him playing, socializing with her dogs, lounging around comfortably and being pampered. I highly recommend her if you want the best care for your dog.”
