“I highly recommend Karla for anyone’s pet care needs. She was friendly, responsive and a delight to work with. She provided daily updates on my dog’s day with pictures. I look forward to working with her again!”
“Sam was great with Milo! Sent photos and was communicative about pickup and drop off. He came back happy and healthy and we will be working with Sam again soon!!”
“I am absolutely thrilled to leave this glowing review for Doris! She has taken care of Milo several times now, and each time I’m blown away by her warmth, reliability, and genuine love for animals. Milo always comes back happy, healthy, and clearly well-loved — it’s such a relief knowing he’s in safe, caring hands while I’m away. Doris is attentive to his needs, communicative throughout the stay, and truly treats him like her own. I can’t recommend her enough — she’s become a trusted part of Milo’s extended family. Thank you Doris!”
“Rachel took wonderful care of our elder dog sake and went above and beyond to make her feel comfortable. Her level of care and updates made me feel so much better. I will definitely book her again.”
“Steven took my dog at the last minute before a 5 day trip and did a great job taking care of him. Drop off and pick up were easy and he sent pictures frequently so I knew my dog was ok. I would use him again!”
“Kathleen was an AMAZING DogSitter. She made sure to check in with me multiple times a day with updates and photos. She was also really thoughtful and would ask about any dietary or allergic issues that my dog might have before giving her any treats.”
“Diana was incredible! My pup clearly felt so comfortable in her home, and I appreciated her consistent check-ins to let me know how my dog was doing. I can't wait to book her again!”
“Judith is amazing. From the first hour I left my baby with Judith and her husband I was updated multiple pics each day that sheena was with them. I love how Judith and her Husband came to greet me, this made me comfortable in knowing whom would be around my dog. They actually Made my baby sad to come home so I know she had a good time, in two weeks I’ll be booking again. Thanks guys!!”
“My dog is like my furry kid. He’s very special to me so whenever I have to leave him I get super anxious. Lenford eased that anxiety. He was very warm and welcoming to me and my dog. He made me feel like I had nothing to worry about and that my dog was in caring hands. He’s also really communicative. He sent me lots of pictures and video to keep my updated on how my dog was doing in his care. Lenford is amazing and will be my go to from now on,”
“Kecia is by far the best sitter I have worked with from Rover! She is super attentive and I left for my trip with not a doubt that my pups would be in good hands. She is exceptionally communicative and treated my pups with love and care. I will definitely book with her again!”
“Vanessa was very flexible with pick up and drop off time and is extremely friendly. She sent a lot of updates throughout my pup's stay with her, so I was never worried or wondering what and/or how he was doing. He was super happy when I left him and was happy at pick up as well. Overall, he looked like he had a ton of fun with the other dogs & with Vanessa. 10/10 experience!”
“Erica is the Best. Sitter. Ever! She took amazing care of our ball obsessed one year old Lab puppy Junie over the holidays. Truly went above and beyond expectations and had a great understanding of our dog. Loved the amazing updates and incredible videos and photos of Junie playing with her new fur friends. We are planning to rebook in February when we are away next.”
“Erica was amazing with my girl Sweet Potato! She was super responsive when I needed a sitter in a pinch, and was communicative throughout her week-long boarding, putting me at ease throughout. I will definitely request Erica to take great care of my kid in the future.”
“We are repeat customers, and my cat loves staying with Lina! I would definitely recommend her services. She always goes above and beyond in her care, and I can feel comfortable and at peace leaving my cat with her, knowing that he will be well. I always know he will be in great hands with her. She is easy to work with, incredibly attentive, very communicative, responsible, and flexible (which relieves a lot of the stress of traveling, making plans, and having to leave a pet). Lina is a fantastic caregiver!”
“Coco always looks happy when I pick her up from Ben's care. She jumps back-and-forth to us like she doesn't know who to go to - which really eases my mind about her stay with Ben and his pup Colby”
“Katerina & Yuliia were wonderful with Archie, they treated him with so much love, he came home a Prince! We are so grateful for the photos & videos that you both sent of Archie & all the love you gave him. We'll see you again soon, thank you!”
“David was amazing! Communication was consistent and adorable and I really felt like Roman was welcomed into his family. He was amazingly chill when I picked him up, not straining to get to me like he usually is, which I think says it all about the excellent care he received at David’s home. I would recommend him to anyone!”
“This was our second stay with Margaret and her daughter and it was a wonderful experience from drop off to pick up! Junior has some behavorial "quirks" and Margaret knew how to keep him happy and safe. Her photos and updating communications made it easy for me to enjoy my vacation with family without worrying or thinking about how Junior was doing. I know I found the perfect place for Junior when I have to leave him home. I intend to book with Margaret again and would ABSOLUTELY recommend her to anyone looking for a reliable caring sitter who treats your dog or cat like they're theirs!”

“Anna is truly amazing! She would pick up on my kittie habits and communicate with me very promptly when she feels there may be an issue - no matter how small or big. I really appreciated her attention to detail. Overall, Anna's communication is so timely, clear, and thoughtful. And I think that's a strength like none other. My cats also loved her, I don't think they even missed me. I normally feel bad asking the sitters to send me pictures because personally I think it could be a tad bit annoying, but Anna would send me pics when they are being particularly cute or show me how my cats are cuddling with her non-stop! TL;DR, I am traveling for a wedding next weekend, and I already reached out to her to see if she could help me again. I hope Anna can be my kitties' loving and caring aunt forever! Please don't move from NYC!”
About: I grew up with cats, actually! While I currently dont have the ability to adopt my own fuzzies again, I do help out with friends who go on vacations and things like that. **I also do bunnies! I was an ARBA registered judge and show rabbit breeder, 4H judge, and 4H instructor and animal trainer.** Pregnant and not allowed to change your kitty's potty? Or maybe youre like my friends and you have to be out of town for a vacation or family meeting, but cant take your fuzzies with you. Some cats do not do well with a boarding kennel situation, so skip the stress and giving them anxiety- hire someone to come check on them at home! Kittens to seniors, all are welcome- even the grumpy ones. Are they on a diet? Do they like tube treats? Even if they made a stinky, I will dump all of the litter out & wash the pan, then put the bag outside in the trash bin so that its not smelling up the house. History: My mother had a long haired tortie before I was born (she tolerated me as much as she was willing from what I was told) and when I was 4, we adopted a creamsicle boy from the neighbors (orange & white tabby). That cat was my best friend for 13 years before I had to say goodbye. We waited a bit, then went to the shelter and adopted a shorthair baby tortie that was really more of my mother's cat (like the previous tortie, although I didnt pick her because of the color). I'd drop in from college and even visit from out of state years later to take care of the tortie while my mother was on vacations. She was a very shy, quiet cat vs my creamsicle who was a big bold boy (he was just a massive cat, not overweight) and even though she knew who I was, I wasnt HER person, therefore my only purpose (to her) was food, water, and litterbox cleaning. Even though I used to play with her when she was younger, I respected her boundaries because in her defense, I *did* move out after the first few years of her life. She lived to be 16. Meanwhile I adopted a little white sock, white blaze, gray tabby girl just after college and had her for only 7 years before her number was called. She was a little purr machine cuddle bug until the day she took her final nap. After the loss of her and my dog, I personally havent had the time or housing requirements to be able to own pets again, so I do what I can to help other busy pet parents!
“Alexandra did a great job with our 17 year old cat. We were out of town for 3 days and came back to a very clean living space and a very content Isis. Would definitely recommend Alexandra for overnight sitting with your pet!”
“This was our second time having Ariella check in on our cats while we were away. She went above and beyond to make sure that they were cared for! Our cats are not the most social animals and while they didn’t interact much with her while she was there, she made sure to seek them out to ensure that they were doing okay. She also gave us plenty of updates which we really appreciated!”
“Stephanie and Brian are great pet sitters! I felt so comfortable knowing they were taking good care of my cat while I was away. They sent me updates and pictures and were very accommodating. Highly recommend them. Will definitely be rebooking with them in the future!”
“Brittany was absolutely fantastic. She was sensitive to my cats needs and she was extra cautious because my little furbaby was nervous. All the directions were carefully followed and she was in touch with me the entire time when she was here and took care of any issues and any extra request that I had while away. I can’t wait to work with Brittany again.”
About: Former dog owner and shelter volunteer with over 15 years of experience. I’m a go-to sitter for friends and I’m an active runner on the Rockaway boardwalk. I'm very comfortable and capable with all temperaments and energy levels. I have a hybrid work schedule, where I work from home 3 days during the week, and would be able to take breaks for walks. Weekends I am free. I live in a 4th floor walk up that allows pets. Other tenants have dogs. I live less than 1 block away from the boardwalk and beach for walks.
“I was really nervous leaving my Sylvester because I never did anything like this before but I must say I would definitely use them again I felt like they were family instead of a sitter for my boy they really were happy to care for him and I was happy I chose them it made my first experience a pleasant one”
About: I’ve raised my dog since she was 3 months old. She battled an autoimmune disease, and I cared for her through medications, special diets, and recovery. That experience gave me a deep understanding of medical care, patience, and what it means to truly show up for a pet. I treat every dog like my own—with love, attentiveness, and a calm, caring presence. Pet care fits naturally into my routine. I work as a substitute paraprofessional with the Department of Education, which gives me a flexible schedule during the school year and full availability in the summer. This allows me to dedicate plenty of time and attention to the pets I care for—whether it’s daily walks, playtime, feedings, or just keeping them company throughout the day. With my open summer schedule, I’m especially available for longer stays or more frequent visits. Whether in my home or a client’s, I provide consistent, loving care tailored to each pet’s routine. I prioritize their comfort, safety, and well-being. In my home, pets enjoy a calm, clean space, regular walks, playtime, and plenty of affection. In a client’s home, I maintain their routine and create a familiar, stress-free environment. I treat every pet like family and ensure they feel safe, loved, and cared for at all times.
About: Hi, my name is ShaAsia! I’m a loving cat owner myself (I have 2 fur babies 🐾), and I know how important it is to have someone you can trust to care for your pets when you’re away. I’m reliable, patient, and make sure every cat gets the attention, playtime, and care they deserve. Whether it’s feeding, litter box cleaning, or just giving cuddles, I’ll treat your cat like my own.
About: I am a 23 year old veterinary nurse, currentky working my way to vet school.I love all sorts of animals, but cats hold a special place in my heart! Cats are wonderful animals with unique and sometimes complicated personalities. Once they trust you, they can be some of the most loving little creatures. I've had cats all my life and some of my favorite patients are cats. Right now I don't have a cat, but I love my mom's cat a whole lot.
About: I first began cat sitting at 16 when a friend of mine travelled out of the country on holiday. Although I have experience in caring for strays in the neighborhood I grew up in, I would say caring for my friend's cat was the first official experience I had where I was not just feeding a cat but cleaning up after it (cleaning the litter box), providing light grooming sessions (brushing) and entertainment through puzzles, toys and enjoying some down time (cuddles). My first job at the private veterinary practice as I got older allowed me to expand my knowledge of basic cat care from feeding and brushing to administering oral or topical medication. Additionally, moving onto an overnight supervisory position at a daycare facility-with special attention to it's "cattery" furthered my experience with understanding feline behavior as well as effective cleaning methods for maintaining their temporary away-from-home arrangements.
About: I always had a dog growing up so I am very familiar with dogs and the care they require. In high school I got my own puppy who I raised and trained by myself. In addition to this I watched my neighbors cats every time her family went on vacation so I also have experience caring for cats as well as dogs! I’m home for the summer and have full availability! I can accommodate morning, afternoon, and evening visits, and I have plenty of time to give pets the attention, exercise, and care they need. I would like to care for each pet exactly as instructed by the client to ensure the pet is comfortable. If allowed by the client, I enjoy taking pets outdoors for walks, exercise, and fresh air whenever appropriate
About: Hi I’m Kathleen! I am huge animal lover who grew around pets and I have over 4 years of experience providing patient, responsible, and dedicated care. I don't currently have any dogs or cats of my own, which means your pup gets 100% of my undivided attention, love, and care. My home is a calm, safe space where your pet can truly relax and feel right at home. Pet care fits easily into my daily routine because I am home most of the day. I am available all days for boarding and can easily accommodate flexible pick-up and drop-off times for owners. At my clients/my home I will provide photos, and videos of your pet and provide updates to insure you have a safe, and trusted experience!
About: I've always had animals growing up and I loved taking care of them. I have 10 years of experience taking care of my own pets. I made sure they were fed a balanced diet, they had their daily walks, they were upto date with their vaccines. I also made sure that they were well-groomed, given lots of love and attention and spoiled rotten with toys! I currently work full time but I am available anytime after 3pm to pet sit the little cuties and I am free anytime on the weekends. I do not have yard space but I am close to the beach and there are a few parks to take the dogs for a walk!

“Doris is a very sweet and caring person. She took a great care of my Molly. She gave my girl lots of attention and took her out for walks. I’ll definitely get back to Doris for more help with my girl.”

About: For most of my life I have cared for many dogs as a pet owner and a dog sitter for friends, family and clients alike. Currently I freelance as a media professor and my schedule fluctuates from week to week so its always best to check my calendar for availability. The dogs will receive all my love and attention. I thrive off their unconditional love and I love to see them happy. Simple as that.
“Judith is amazing she is very pleasant and friendly. My dog was playing and having so much fun while with her. I had to book her last minute and she was available and ready to accommodate my dog again. I would highly recommend her to anyone, she is the best and I’ll be using her services from here on out!!”
“What a lovely person - I’d give her 100 stars if that were an option. To explain, I had to go into my office LAST minute and at 1230 am it was my first time using this app and I posted requests for someone to basically dog sit for the same day- she was immediately responsive even though it was a last minute request. I saw she had already gotten consistent great reviews and I was worried to leave my 7 week old shih tsu (like a baby) with anyone ) -Jameeka she handles all dog ages - she was responsive, kept me updated throughout the day. I even got stuck in traffic on the way for pick up and was late she was fine. The top 3 reasons I give Jameeka 5 stars is because 1) she is the opposite of stressful and worked with my unique needs, 2) she has great communication skills snd 3) it is clear she is an expert - my puppy was returned perfectly she gave me some updates and my puppy was happy and fell right asleep because Jameeka ensured my puppy got play time and exercise time - thank you !”
“Thai was great and able to step in when our sitter canceled last minute. Thai was thorough and asked great questions to make sure this was a good fit for my dog Max. Max had a great time; would def have Thai watch him again!”
“Robin was the BEST! She agreed to do a meet and greet with me and even brought her pups to meet my princess Honey. Even though I felt comfortable with her through our chats, meeting her in person beforehand put the cherry on top. Once booked, she took great care of of my Honey girl, sent so many photos and gave me cute updates while I was at work. This was my first booking and definitely will not be the last. She can absolutely be trusted with your fur babies. I’m so glad I took a chance as she made the experience worthwhile. Now my Honey has a home away from home!! Thank you Robin, see you again :)”
“Words cannot adequately express how amazing Erica is. I showed up nervous and apprehensive, and she was beyond patient and comforting. She kept me updated with texts, photos and videos which were SO appreciated. Rusty slept like a baby after his day of play and is excited for his next visit ♥️?♥️”
“Galit is amazing. Our pup loved his time with her. She clearly loves dogs and takes great care of those in her care. She was incredibly communicative and sent lots of pictures. We will be returning! Thanks Galit!”
“Lina provided exceptional care for my baby, Viper. From the moment I dropped him off, I knew he was in good hands. She not only tended to his basic needs but also showered him with love and attention. It was evident that she genuinely cared for his well-being and treated him as if he were her own. Throughout his stay, Lina kept me updated with photos and messages, which eased my mind and allowed me to enjoy my time away knowing Viper was happy and content. Additionally, her knowledge and expertise in handling dogs reassured me that Viper was receiving the best care possible. I highly recommend Lina to anyone in need of a responsible and caring pet sitter.”

“Vanessa is a gem - responsive, polite, clean, caring, loving, and always available. We were looking for a pet sitter who could provide a loving and stable environment for our pup with separation anxiety, as we wanted to reduce his reliance on medication. Vanessa exceeded our expectations, providing a calm and nurturing presence that has greatly benefited our Blaze. We're grateful to have found her, and her care has given us peace of mind. If you're seeking a trustworthy and compassionate pet sitter, Vanessa is an excellent choice.”
“Michelle was amazing with Milo! This was our first time leaving him with someone else, so I was a little nervous, but she made the whole experience so much easier and more comfortable. She was very attentive, communicative, and clearly experienced with dogs, which gave me a lot of reassurance. I really appreciated the updates and how she made sure Milo felt safe and cared for. When I picked him up, he was happy and relaxed, which means everything to me as a dog mom. It was clear he was in good hands the entire time. The pickup and drop-off process was also smooth and convenient, which I loved. Overall, I had a great experience and would absolutely trust Michelle with Milo again!”
“This was my fur baby, Milo’s first time attending daycare. Initially, I was concerned about how he would adjust to a new environment. The fact that Stephanie provided me with pictures and contacted me prior to his stay made me feel more comfortable leaving him with her. It was a pleasant surprise to see Stephanie had created a welcoming environment and her fur baby was also present, which I felt was an excellent opportunity for Milo to be able to socialize with other dogs. In addition to toys and treats, Stephanie provided Milo with everything he needed to feel comfortable. Additionally, Stephanie sent many updates and pictures of Milo throughout the day. As soon as I picked him up, I could tell he had enjoyed his stay and that he would be returning in the future. Stephanie, thank you so much for taking such excellent care of Milo!”
“I can tell my doggy likes to go to Rachel's to hang because she always runs inside and seems excited to be there, which makes me feel so much better. Rachel also gets Selmy out of the house for car trips and neighborhood strolls.”
“Janis took great care of Freya and kept me updated through the day. She was able to sit for me on short notice and was awesome throughout the whole process. Thank you!”
“Vivian really took care of Jayce like her own pooch. She’s very mindful and attentive to Jayce, especially with his anxiety she is very caring and really made him feel comfortable!”

Adventure-ready dog walkers - The Rockaways
Prices are estimates per walk. Pricing may vary based on your search. A booking fee of 11% and taxes will apply.
About: I have had pets, or as I say friends my whole life. For the past 22 years, I have taken care of my own as an adult. I have had both cats and dogs both at the same time. I treat all of my friends like family. I am a dedicated animal lover. I live in Rockaway beach. I am available on Thursdays and Fridays and most weekends. I am available Monday-Wednesday after 6PM. I am very flexible as well to accommodate special requests. I do not have a fenced in yard, however, I take my dog Tina for long walks around Rockaway, on the beach off season, and to the dog run on Shore.
“Ariella is amazing. I don’t have Cooper walked very often so he’s become “interesting” As he’s gotten older. Ariella took EXCELLENT care and had the patience of a saint when Cooper didn’t want to put his leash on! Thank you so much!”
About: My prominent pet care experience this year is with pitbulls and kitties (of separate families). Most of my dog experience is with big dogs, I’m happy to visit with small doggies too! Apart from pet care, I teach classes across the city (one hour classes throughout the week). It’s great when I have the opportunity to be with animals. It’s a little bit more chore work of course… I give all of the pet owners credit for doing what you do. During all visits I'm available by call or text. I provide quality care yet I do understand that sometimes when you’re away you might want a photo or two.
“We LOVE Brittany!!! She is absolutely fantastic! Finn adores her, and she always goes above and beyond to make sure he has a great time on his walks. She's super punctual, keeps me updated with cute pictures and videos, and is always quick to respond to any messages. I couldn't ask for a better person to take care of my furry baby. Thank you for all that you do!”
About: I’m a born-again pet person and love spending time with cats and dogs. Over the past five years, I’ve had the joy of fostering cats, providing them with a loving and caring environment while they await their forever homes. I look forward to meeting your furry companions and providing them with the care, attention, and love they deserve while you’re away! I am currently on a career break and have a lot of flexible time to dedicate to house sitting, drop-in visits, and walking your pet. When caring for pets in my client's home, I follow all instructions to a tee and pay careful attention to the changing needs of the animal. I am communicative and responsive should any issues arise.
About: I differentiate myself by offering specialized skills like administering medication, handling medical emergencies, and providing personalized care tailored to each pet's needs. Building trust through expertise and professionalism is key in communicating effectively in order to deliver the best possible care. Additionally, my own experience with my dog has also granted me the ability to understand and meet such needs as well as the emotional needs of any pet, and to establish a trusted relationship with both pet and owner! I am currently a per diem part-time nanny to a family in New Jersey while attending online college classes; however, the alignment of both schedules allows me the flexibility to include my passion for pet care! I am flexible and available most weekdays between 9AM-2PM and weekends between 10AM-7PM. My work experience in animal welfare in clinical and boarding facilities allows me to apply what I have learned into what I can do. As an overnight supervisor in a doggy daycare environment, pets are cared for by providing a safe and stimulating environment, ensuring their well-being, and offering socialization opportunities with other dogs. This includes activities such as playtime, walks, feeding, and monitoring their behavior whereas in a clinical setting, caring for pets involves monitoring vital signs, administering treatments, conducting medical procedures, and providing post-operative care. It also includes maintaining cleanliness, following strict protocols, and ensuring a comfortable environment for the animals. Although not as extensive in daycare or clinical facilities, in-home pet care allows for individualized attention where needed as needed without the external stressors of a constantly changing environment. In-home care involves the basics of pet welfare and includes providing food, water, exercise, and companionship. Additionally, administering medication, following specific care instructions, and maintaining a safe environment are crucial, all of which I can provide based on my background and experience.

About: I've been caring for dogs and cats my whole life. Friends and family have had me house sit and walk their dogs and check in on their cats for many years. I have a bachelor's degree in Animal Science and plenty of experience with small pets, birds and livestock as well! Any animal you have, I can care for. I have experience with medication, wound care, and injections if your pet needs those things as well. I've worked with plenty of seniors, young puppies/kittens, and special needs animals over the years too. I currently only work very early mornings and afternoons on Thursdays and Saturdays. I have time in my schedule to walk, feed, and check in on pets of all sorts. When at your home I can play with your dogs or cats. I can work on basic obedience and crating as well. I will clean any bowls, crates, or play areas needed and have no problem scooping waste from your yard if requested after letting your dog out. I will try my best to make your pet feel safe and comfortable with me at all times.

I can accommodate morning, afternoon, and evening visits, and I have plenty of time to give pets the attention, exercise, and care they need. I would like to care for each pet exactly as instructed by the client to ensure the pet is comfortable. If allowed by the client, I enjoy taking pets outdoors for walks, exercise, and fresh air whenever appropriate
About: I have worked in a doggy daycare, I have grown up around big dogs, had multiple dogs in my life, and have been dog sitting consistently for over three years. I have watched all types of dogs, cats, birds, and kids! I love all animals and have a puppy myself! I am a student, but other than school, I have a lot of free time. My schedule is very flexible I’m sure we can work something out! I live with my girlfriend and our dog, so your pet would have our full attention. I take my dogs on walks everyday, and am very athletic if your pet likes to run. I also have worked with dogs of all ailments, from blind or deaf, to old and unable to walk. Whatever you’re looking for, I can provide
About: I've always had animals growing up and I loved taking care of them. I have 10 years of experience taking care of my own pets. I made sure they were fed a balanced diet, they had their daily walks, they were upto date with their vaccines. I also made sure that they were well-groomed, given lots of love and attention and spoiled rotten with toys! I currently work full time but I am available anytime after 3pm to pet sit the little cuties and I am free anytime on the weekends. I do not have yard space but I am close to the beach and there are a few parks to take the dogs for a walk!

We are planning to rebook in February when we are away next.”

Junior has some behavorial "quirks" and Margaret knew how to keep him happy and safe.

I know I found the perfect place for Junior when I have to leave him home. I intend to book with Margaret again and would ABSOLUTELY recommend her to anyone looking for a reliable caring sitter who treats your dog or cat like they're theirs!”

She took to him right away which made me happy to see that I’d be leaving her with a sitter that she really liked. He provided regular updates throughout her stay and was flexible on drop-off and pick-up. I really appreciate him taking such good care of her while I was away. Would highly recommend!”

After Xiao dropped her off, Dove was so sad and whined at the door waiting for Xiao to come back – we've never seen anything like it. Clearly Xiao and her boyfriend love and understand Dove like she's their own. We feel so lucky to have found them!”
