About: Hi! My name is Patrycja! I’m a dedicated and loving dog sitter on Rover who truly enjoys caring for dogs like there’re my own. I know hot important it is to feel confident leaving your pet with someone, and my goal is to give you complete peace of mind while you’re away. I’m experienced with dogs of different sizes, ages and personalities-from energic pups who love playtime to older dogs who prefer a calm and gentle routine. I focus on keeping your dog comfortable by sticking to their normal schedule for feedings, walks and rest. I’m very attentive, patient and responsible. Your dog’s safety and happiness always comes first. I also provide regular updates, photos and messages so you always know how your furry friend is doing. I look forward to meeting you and your pup. Patrycja I’m currently not working, which allows me to dedicate plenty of time and attention to caring for your dog. I’m available Monday to Sunday. I provide a safe, clean, and loving environment for every pet in my home. Pets are treated like family and are never left alone for long periods. I follow each owner’s instructions carefully, including feeding schedules, exercise routines, and any special needs. Dogs get plenty of playtime, walks, and attention throughout the day, along with a comfortable place to rest. I also keep pet areas clean and ensure a calm, stress-free environment at all times.

“Amber took a last minute booking for my elderly 15 yo beagle this past weekend. My dog is not the easiest with dementia, urinary incontinence, hard of hearing and paces a lot. Despite all of those things, Amber took my dog in and cared for her with ease and so mooch compassion and patience. I am so grateful for the care and would definitely recommend her and use her again in the future!”

“Jeff was fantastic with our dog, Moby. It is obvious he loves dogs and that made us happy leaving him with someone who would take such good care of him. Jeff is a great communicator and sent photos of Moby often. We already are booking Jeff for our next trip. Thank you!!!”
“They are simply the best! They celebrated my pup’s birthday with her, gave her a little sleepover breakfast party! Sent pics, made my day. Thanks so much Kristen & Matt!🐾💗😊 Amphi love’s you guys, like a second home to her!!”
“My Scrappy (who is a 2 year old Pomeranian/ Poodle Mix male) stayed with Maria, Eric, and Penny (their fur baby girl) for 12 days. Scrappy and Penny had a meet and greet prior to booking. They hit it off. They were like long lost loves. Scrappy is one to be pretty scrappy at times, so I had to check the fence line because he likes to try to dig. They have a very secure backyard that made me feel comfortable to leave him there too. Maria said she would be out there with them, which made me feel better. But the fence was very secure anyway. Maria sent me photos and videos daily of Scrappy and Penny playing in the snowy backyard, napping together, and enjoying each other’s company. Scrappy seemed very happy and content staying with the family. Unfortunately, Scrappy had to say farewell to Penny for now. When I picked him up there was another fur friend there too, who was an elderly regular. He seemed like a sweetheart too. It was nice to see Scrappy had so many few friends. Maria’s sending us pictures and videos made me smile while we were away. It made me feel like he was doing well and he was happy and it provided me with a great sense of comfort to know he was being well taken care of. I would recommend Maria and her family for pet sitting. Maria herself was very nice and welcoming to me and my family. Eric seemed very pleasant and sweet and Penny was a beautiful and lovable dog, whom I wanted to bring home with us. Lol. Glad we picked them for Scrappy. Thank you Maria, Eric and Penny!!! All the best, Victoria, Tom and Scrappy”
“Ashley went above and beyond to take care of my dog. She was flexible with pick up and drop off. She made sure he had adequate air conditioning during a heat wave. She went to great lengths to give him his medications. And she even gave him a bath before returning him to me. She is knowledgeable and caring. I would definitely recommend her!”
“Jennifer was great watching our Max! I'm always nervous about leaving him somewhere new but he settled in pretty quickly with her family. She sent over 100 pictures while we were away for 6 days which I truly appreciated! I will be recommending her to anyone and everyone I meet.”

My goal is to provide reliable, compassionate, and attentive care when watching your pets, as I would want someone to do the same with mine. Pet care works great for my schedule because I work in a school during the months of September-May, Allowing me to be home by 3 PM, and I am off on the weekends. Starting in June, I have full availability to watch your pet throughout the day, which is great for when families would like to go on summer vacations, or need someone to check on their pet often. Depending on the service requested, I will always take your dog for a long walk. I love going for a walks, so having a furry friend be able to join me is amazing. If this is an overnight visit, besides playtime every few hours, there will be at least two long walks every day. Feeding will be done at normal breakfast and dinner time unless there is a specific schedule. I am also an online college student so being home with your pet while taking classes will be no problem if they require a little bit more attention.

About: Hi there! I’m Jess, a college educated writer and pet sitter who loves puppers. I’ve been working with animals of all sorts since I was 6 years old and volunteered on a farm, and I have experience with every dog from chihuahua to mastiff (the mastiff was mine!). I honestly love dogs, and everyone always says I’m great with animals- so why not spend some time with dogs during my free time? I’m gentle with my approaches, and on top of pet sitting I am a nanny- so I can handle any situation thrown at me! I also have experience as a life guard and in CPR and First Aid. I’ve never had a complaint, and I purely believe that’s because I love dogs, cats, and animals in general. I have a dog and a lizard so I’m always feeding/playing with/walking/grooming/cuddling someone! My dog gizmo is very energetic and a little bit difficult, so I’m comfortable with those more challenging cases. I also know reptile and cat care, as I’ve owned cats, lizards, and snakes—I grew up on farms lol I walk gizmo 2-3 times a day, feed him twice, give him medication, and play for at least 30 mins. I also bathe him and clean him after our walks.

I treat each pet like my own and follow your instructions carefully to maintain their routine and reduce stress while you’re away.

About: For as long as I can remember I have always lived a life surrounded by animals of all kinds. Professionally speaking I am a Veterinary Technician/Assistant at an all cat shelter as well as a part time Veterinary Assistant at an animal hospital. It felt only natural to fall into a career of animal care. I come vetted with tons of different experience- be it handling chickens, kissing cats, walking dogs or hanging out with your cold blooded friends. All of my pets are rescues and with that comes an array of experience with all temperaments and needs. I work full time and would best be able to accommodate visits and walks around my current work schedule. Currently my availability is: Sunday *early AM* and *anytime after 4-5pm* Monday-Thursday *early AM* and *anytime after 7:30-8:30pm* Friday-Saturday *anytime* Between my partner and I we share three dogs and three cats together. We often joke how no one would ever know we have animals in our home outside of their barking because nothing touches the floor in this house without being scooped up. I am very seasoned in efficiently caring for all types of animals and hope to put you at ease that your pets AND your space will be cared for and respected 🤍

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.

“Amber took a last minute booking for my elderly 15 yo beagle this past weekend. My dog is not the easiest with dementia, urinary incontinence, hard of hearing and paces a lot. Despite all of those things, Amber took my dog in and cared for her with ease and so mooch compassion and patience. I am so grateful for the care and would definitely recommend her and use her again in the future!”

“My Scrappy (who is a 2 year old Pomeranian/ Poodle Mix male) stayed with Maria, Eric, and Penny (their fur baby girl) for 12 days. Scrappy and Penny had a meet and greet prior to booking. They hit it off. They were like long lost loves. Scrappy is one to be pretty scrappy at times, so I had to check the fence line because he likes to try to dig. They have a very secure backyard that made me feel comfortable to leave him there too. Maria said she would be out there with them, which made me feel better. But the fence was very secure anyway. Maria sent me photos and videos daily of Scrappy and Penny playing in the snowy backyard, napping together, and enjoying each other’s company. Scrappy seemed very happy and content staying with the family. Unfortunately, Scrappy had to say farewell to Penny for now. When I picked him up there was another fur friend there too, who was an elderly regular. He seemed like a sweetheart too. It was nice to see Scrappy had so many few friends. Maria’s sending us pictures and videos made me smile while we were away. It made me feel like he was doing well and he was happy and it provided me with a great sense of comfort to know he was being well taken care of. I would recommend Maria and her family for pet sitting. Maria herself was very nice and welcoming to me and my family. Eric seemed very pleasant and sweet and Penny was a beautiful and lovable dog, whom I wanted to bring home with us. Lol. Glad we picked them for Scrappy. Thank you Maria, Eric and Penny!!! All the best, Victoria, Tom and Scrappy”
“Ashley went above and beyond to take care of my dog. She was flexible with pick up and drop off. She made sure he had adequate air conditioning during a heat wave. She went to great lengths to give him his medications. And she even gave him a bath before returning him to me. She is knowledgeable and caring. I would definitely recommend her!”
“Jennifer was great watching our Max! I'm always nervous about leaving him somewhere new but he settled in pretty quickly with her family. She sent over 100 pictures while we were away for 6 days which I truly appreciated! I will be recommending her to anyone and everyone I meet.”
“I highly recommend Gaileen! I had never left my senior dog with anyone other than family before and Gaileen was great at making my dog comfortable and sending me updates! She has been professional, reliable, and caring. My dog is looking forward to more overnights with her! 😊”
“Jared is fabulous! I brought my maltese for boarding & we had a wonderful experience! Will definitely use him again- Jared is very responsible & truly loves all dogs! 5 stars!!!”
“Leo had a great time with Lorena. Lorena has no problems giving him all his medication. He enjoyed his time with Lorena and got to sleep in her bedroom and take fun walks and dance to Spanish music. I received many pictures and videos during Leo’s time with Lorena.”
“Tara S and her family are amazing ?. They took such good care of my Louie - including washing all of his bedding the day I came to get him. She has two good sized good natured dogs that kept him busy the entire time we were gone. I highly recommend her if you have a good natured medium sized dog they likes companionship & playtime. My Louie is about 90 lbs just so you have an idea of what I mean by good sized dog. We will absolutely use them 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.
