“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!”
“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!”
“Melissa is perfect ! She sent photos and kept me updated without me having to ask. I was a little nervous dropping off my dog because she is particular about who she is around and also anti social with other dogs. After a day or so I was receiving pictures of my dog interacting with other doggies and allowing Melissa to pick her up! I cannot thank her enough for being patient and kind to my little pepper. She is my new and forever dog sitter. Best decision I made for my dog”
“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.”
“Giana took such good care of my dog - he's currently passed out and snoring, which I feel he will be doing all week! He loved her dogs and played so well with them. She also sent a ton of pictures and even did a cute photo shoot!! I am so happy we found her!”
“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: 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.
“Gen and her family are wonderful hosts!! We received regular updates and pics of how well our Bailey was doing. When we picked her up, she was tired and happy - a perfect combo:) Gen has a fenced yard and two dogs that were wonderful companions to our pup. I highly recommend!!”
“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.”
“Nigel has had the best care I could have hoped for. Marybeth and Dwight are true dog lovers. They have been there for me many times and I cannot praise them enough for the love and kindness they have shown to us.”
“Ellen is so sweet, caring and accommodating! We had never had anyone watch our pup before but she has a long history of animal knowledge and a genuine love of animals that shines through! My very Velcro dog was very well taken care of!”
“I am so happy we found Apryl! She treated my fur babies (3Poodles) while we were away with such great care. She was able to take my dogs with last minutes notice. Apryl sent daily pictures, videos and responded to our texts quickly. This made me able to truly relax on my vacation. I highly recommend Apryl and we will definitely be using her again. My dogs loved her too. Our boys got along great with her dog as well.”
“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!”

“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.”
“Christine was fabulous. She was conscientious and took great care of our cat. She is the first cat sitter we’ve booked (of 2-3 Rover sitters) who has actually come at exactly the time we asked her, consistently. Beyond that, when our travel plans had to change because of airline problems, Christine kindly agreed to extend the booking - even though it was the holidays and I’m sure she had other obligations.”
“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!”

About: I absolutely love animals!! I had a Schnauzer named Loki years ago. I decided I wouldn’t have another puppy, but I’ve been having a blast watching other people’s dogs. It’s kind of like a fun uncle type of situation I’ve been thriving on lately. I have tons of experience watching and handling animals. Since my youth, I’ve been in love with nature. I even became an Eagle Scout! I’m passionate about animals and all life in general. I even thought about becoming a vegan, but that’s another topic of discussion… I’m a yoga instructor, so my schedule is very flexible. My free time is spent running, exercising, and studying. You can find me either outdoors or at a coffee shop! I am very communicative and attentive, so you can expect multiple text messages with updates on how your puppy is doing. Expect mini photo shoots!
“We had never left our cats with anyone before and Gerri put our minds at ease. She came to do a meet and greet before we went away. She sent great pictures and gave us wonderful updates on our babies every day. She even bought them each a toy to play with. When we got home everything was clean and in order, and most importantly, Remi and Charlie were very happy!”
“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!”
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: 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 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!
“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!”

“Kathryn was wonderful with my girl Amphi, who has separation anxiety. She has two of her own cuties who were very welcoming to Amphi & they all got along very well. I felt very safe & comfortable leaving my dog in her care & she has a great big yard that my dog loves running around in. I highly recommend Kathryn if you want piece of mind knowing your dog is in great, caring hands! Thank you Kathryn for looking after my pup & we look forward to our next visit!”

About: I am a professional dog walker and pet sitter with over twenty years of hands on experience caring for animals. I recently moved to Suffolk County, New York from the Upper West Side of Manhattan after closing my small business in the city. Long Island has been an amazing change for us and we truly love being here. Animals have always been a huge part of my life and have shaped my career for more than two decades. Now that I work from home, I find myself really missing the daily connection with pets. I am certified in pet grooming and have experience in animal behavior as well as light training. I love teaching dogs fun tricks like giving kisses and building trust with them through patience and consistency. I also have experience working as a veterinary technician and receptionist, which has given me a strong understanding of animal health and communication with pet owners. I still maintain several wonderful clients from my time in Manhattan and I am excited to grow my services here in Suffolk County and meet new dogs and their families. About This Sitter Animals have always been my passion for as long as I can remember. I never imagined how far this path would take me, but I truly cannot picture myself doing anything else. Caring for pets feels natural and rewarding to me, and I am grateful every day to be part of their lives. Why I Love Dog Sitting I have loved dogs since the first time I was able to have one of my own. The more I learn about different breeds and personalities, the more my appreciation grows. Every dog has its own temperament and charm, and getting to know them is one of my favorite parts of this work. Meet My Pets In loving memory of Miah. Jenna is currently my active little companion. They are two beautiful Chihuahuas who have filled my life with joy and laughter. About My Home We live in a small four bedroom house in Coram with a backyard that offers space for fresh air and outdoor time. My Experience Administering Medication Yes. I am comfortable giving oral medications only. Pet care fits into my routine very naturally because I work from home and have a flexible schedule. I am available most weekdays and weekends, especially afternoons and evenings. Since I am home often, I can provide consistent attention, walks, feeding schedules, and check ins without rushing. I live in a small four bedroom home in Coram with a backyard where dogs can safely get fresh air and supervised outdoor time. Inside the home, pets are never left unattended for long periods and I always follow the owner’s instructions carefully. I have over twenty years of experience working with animals, including veterinary office experience, so I am very observant of behavior changes and health concerns. I also have one senior toothless small house dog who is gentle and used to other pets, but I always introduce animals slowly and respectfully based on their comfort level.
“Daniel was amazing, and it was so clear our dogs were in great hands. They came home happily exhausted, which tells me they had the best time at daycare. We truly appreciate the great care. ❤️”
“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.”

About: I’ve previously worked for another pet service where I took dogs on walks and did drop-in visits. I also have some experience with cats, but I have a 5-year old dog myself. I have experience taking care of elderly dogs as I dog sat for a family friend for a few months and stayed the night at their house once a week. I would take the dog for walks, spend time with him and give him any medication he needed. I love animals and it doesn’t feel like work to take care of them for me. I am a teacher, so I am free during school breaks and on weekends. When I am not working full-time at school, pet care will be my first priority. I will listen to any requests made by the pet owner for what they want me to do, such as letting them out in a fenced backyard or keeping them on a leash. I also have experience crate training my dog and find that can be a safe place for dogs too.
“Brianna was extremely polite and punctual. She was great with our dogs. She really came in handy when my wife broke her knee and couldn't walk them herself. We couldn't have asked for a better dog walker.”
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'm currently working PT as a home health aid and have flexibility and free time Tuesday through Saturday to walk and hangout with your beloved fur baby. I would come to your home and watch your dog, take them for a walk, snuggle, feed, play, brush and engage them with conversation and provide them love and support.

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.

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.
“Gen and her family are wonderful hosts!! We received regular updates and pics of how well our Bailey was doing. When we picked her up, she was tired and happy - a perfect combo:) Gen has a fenced yard and two dogs that were wonderful companions to our pup. I highly recommend!!”
“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.”

My dogs loved her too. Our boys got along great with her dog as well.”
