“Julie watched our 4.5 year Poodle for a week while we were away on a family vacation. She was really passionate about caring for Parker. We would contact her to check in and she always responded immediately. Parker came home happy. We would absolutely use her again.”
“We are so grateful to have found Melissa as a nearby sitter for my moms little Maltese, Roxy. When my mom had an unexpected emergency hospital stay, Melissa was so flexible and understanding, taking the booking to watch Roxy at the very last minute. Roxy had a great “vacation” at Melissa’s - with lots of pictures and updates for us. I am grateful for Melissa’s kindness and I will certainly book with her again in the future. Added bonus is that she only takes small dogs which is perfect for miss Roxy!”
“Cassandra has watched my dog, Rosie, several times now over the past few years and I count myself lucky to have found her! Cassandra is very communicative and accommodating. She sends pictures and updates throughout the booking and Rosie always comes back happy and without any issues.”
“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”
“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!”
“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!!!”
“"I cannot recommend our pet sitter enough! They provided exceptional care for our puppy while we attended a wedding Our pet “gigi” was happy, Marcela went above and beyond, sending us regular updates and photos to give us peace of mind. Their love and dedication to animals truly shines through in their work. We will definitely be using their services again in the future!"”
“Cindy took very good care of Cooper… she sent pictures of Cooper snuggling with her family and her dog Pepper. I would highly recommend Cindy. Cindy is a wonderful person… very kind and flexible. She is a fantastic dog sitter. I would definitely bring Cooper back again.”
“This is the second time my dog has stayed with Antonia, and she absolutely loves it there! I always get lots of pictures and updates, and I know she’s being well cared for. Every time I pick her up, she never wants to leave. Highly recommend! 🐾❤️”
“Korin was such an attentive and AMAZING 5 star sitter for our Roise!! We went away on vacation for a week out of the country and she made sure to contact us every single day with updates as well as sending us lots of photos and videos in which we greatly appreciated! She did very good with our Rosie! 10/10 highly recommend to be used!! We will be using Korin again for the near future any time we are going away for sure!! Thank you Korin for everything!!”
“Apryl was so kinda to help us out in a very last minute pinch! She was very responsive and easy to communicate with! She had a great yard and home set-up for overnight doggy guests and our pup loved the one-on-one attention she got from Apryl. When it was time to pick our pup up she didn’t want to leave! We would definitely book Apryl again!”
“I read Matt and Kirsten’s reviews when I needed to board my dog in a pinch, and I thought these reviews may be overstating how wonderful they are. The truth is, they are UNDERSTATING it. I’m not sure nicer, sweeter, more attentive dog sitters exist. They were so true and genuine in their caring of my 2 yr old lab - maybe even more than I am and I’m a pretty crazy dog mom. I felt so at ease on my trip because I knew how happy my hound was and M + K communicated with frequency and love. My dog had THE best time. Thanks so much for an amazing stay for Danny and incredible peace of mind for me.”
“Harper enjoyed her stay with Brittany and her family...and of course Inara. Brittany kept me informed of via photos and comments. Harper loved the kiddie pool in the backyard and snuggling with her son Weston on the sofa. We will gladly use Britanny's services again.”
“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.”
“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 wish I could leave more than 5 stars Jinay made me feel so comfortable drop my dog off it was my first time experiencing this so I was a little bit nervous Jinay made it so easy her and her husband are amazing I will definitely be booking in the near future thank you again !”

“Paula is professional and an excellent communicator. She went above and beyond and took amazing care of our pup Maya during drop in visits. Maya was such a happy girl and loved playing and spending time with her. I highly recommend booking with Paula!”
“Noelle had done a beautiful job caring for our puppy while we’re away at work. Daisy likes her so much, and when we come home after Noelle has visited, she seems to have extra pep in her step. Thrilled to have found her. Thank you so much for your care!”
“Jamey visited my newly adopted senior cat three times a day for three days. She fed her, gave her medications, cleaned her litter box and kept her company. It’s so comforting to know that I can enjoy my little vacations while my cat is well cared for back at home.”
About: I have always grown up with 2 cats maximum. I have cared for several cats in the past. I’m aware they like to do their own thing! I have had to provide the cats with medicine through food or their daily meals. I am used to scooping poop out of their litter.
About: I have years of hands-on experience caring for cats of all ages, temperaments, and medical needs. From giving insulin shots and oral medications to providing gentle care for shy or senior cats, I understand how to earn a feline’s trust and make them feel safe. What sets me apart is my attention to detail—whether it's deep-cleaning litter boxes, brushing out matted fur, or keeping feeding areas spotless. I treat every cat like they’re my own, giving them love, playtime, and the calm consistency they need while you're away.
“Kaitlyn is a wonderful dog sitter. She is on time, conscientious, trustworthy, and most importantly loving to your pets. The pictures she sent me are adorable and showed how much Buffy loved her. Highly recommend! ❤️”
About: I have my own home with a fenced in backyard, I love hiking and running the trails. I have 5 fur-nephews and nieces and haven’t met a dog that I haven’t befriended. I work a steady full time job at a bakery in the Holbrook costco so I am always home before dinner and I always smell delicious. I have a fully fenced in backyard with a back door access, I have also had my friends and family dogs in my household for extended periods with great success.

“Melissa was so nice and accommodating. She even offered to pick up and drop off our dog since it was our wedding. Cruz came back happy as can be and she shared some videos of him playing and having a great time. Would definitely use her again.”

“Jared was great! Super responsive and our golden doodle was so tired when she got home. He had a nice outdoor space for the dogs to play and kept us updated on our dog throughout. Would highly recommend.”
“We used rover for the first time and Donna made us feel quite at ease. She explained everything to us and we knew that our dog was in good hands. Will definitely use her again.”
“Jessica was great with our beagle Paco. We had to cancel the original date we planned to leave him and she was very understanding. When we reached out again she was very quick to respond. I would leave Paco with Jessica again he was very happy when I picked him up. I’m very attached to Paco so it was amazing receiving pictures and videos of him knowing he was in great hands. Will definitely be leaving Paco again in the future”
About: Hi! I'm Cat, and it is my literal pleasure to care for your dog, cat, lizard, bunny, or parrot! What you can expect from me: -Fast, clear, and concise executive-level communication. -Deep breed-specific knowledge of behavior underpinned by my time as a vet receptionist -High quality photos -Easy, flexible scheduling -Complete focus and attention to detail -Genuine joy and enthusiasm to care for your pet In my previous life, I was a design program manager within corporate tech (Meta, Comcast, Pinterest), and I'm thrilled and privileged to pivot into pet care. I have cared for dogs of every size, flavor, and temperament. I have extensive experience training dogs, and quite frankly, I've watched a whole lot of Westminster dog show. In particular, I have specialized experience with shy or nervous dogs and will provide them the space and understanding needed to relax and feel comfortable. I am happy to walk or jog to help burn canine energy. Not afraid to get down in the dirt and play! I have been deeply involved in cat rescue since 2020, when I began working remotely. I have fostered dozens of cats over the years. This includes kittens with complex medical issues. I am very capable at medicating cats and kittens as well as identifying when a cat may be feeling unwell. When you board with me, your pet will not be left alone for more than 1 hour. I only board pets from one household at a time and provide dedicated personal care. When your baby is at my house, they are family. Feel free to reach out with any additional questions. I'm currently working remotely doing project-based contract work, so I have plenty of availability and scheduling flexibility. If boarding or house-sitting, I will be fully available and no pet will be left alone longer than an hour. I have a friendly chihuahua mix (8 lbs) and 2 cats, but if needed, I have plenty of room to give everyone their own space. I have an unfenced backyard with plenty of room to romp. Dogs will always be leashed or tethered in yard.

“Amber was amazing—truly a lifesaver for a last-minute daycare! She took great care of Miller and kept me updated throughout the day, which gave me so much peace of mind. I 100% recommend her, and Miller can’t wait to go back for more fun!”
“This was my first experience with Rover and I have nothing but fantastic things to say about Christine! The genuine care and attention she had for my puppy put me at ease instantly. She sent photos and videos and updates and was always quickly responsive. I would absolutely recommend Christine!”
“This was our first time leaving Coco with starngers so we were little nervous. But Melissa kept us posted through pics and seemed Coco had so much fun with other dogs and Melissa. He made lits of new friends. I would definitely book Melissa again for coco. Thanks again Melissa for taking care of coco.”
“Thank you so much Kristin & Matthew for watching my girl today! She felt very safe & comfortable in your home. I’m so glad we found you & she’s so happy with her new pup friends! Your two are so sweet!!? Amphi says thank you for looking after me & for the cheese!”
About: Growing up, my parents used caring for our two dogs as a way to teach me responsibility — and I ended up falling in love with the process itself. Animals are a genuine passion of mine, and I adapt my care style to fit each pet, whether they’re a high-energy puppy or a slower-paced senior. I love animals of any age, breed, or size. I am currently working a remote job over the summer that is incredibly flexible. I can fit pet care into any part of my day for any amount of time. I have a fenced yard and no pets of my own, so I can dedicate all my time and attention to your animals. I am adaptable and am ready to listen and adjust to your needs and preferences.
“Gen was great! Super responsive, awesome fenced in back yard and really sweet dogs that Casey had a blast with. Will definitely use Gen again when we need someone to watch Casey. Thanks!!”

“James was a great fit for Ivy. She like him immediately. He is prompt, goes above and beyond and my pup truly enjoyed the midday walks which worked well for my schedule that week. Would highly recommend!”
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.
“Paula was the best! We booked her to watch our two dogs aged 8 and 1/2. She made sure they got a nice walk, sent pictures each time and played with them every time she dropped by. We would book her again”

About: I am currently a veterinary student pursuing my dream to become a veterinarian. I’ve cared for animals of all sizes and ages for 8 years as both a kennel attendant and a veterinary assistant. I have skills in administering medications. I have pets of my own and I love them endlessly. I am a veterinary student home for the summer. Whether you want to take a weekend getaway or a day trip, rest assured that your pet will be in the best hands. Pet care is my career, so I take it seriously and I will treat your pets as my own. I will make sure to play with your pet throughout the day to stimulate their enrichment. If you have a pup, I’m more than happy to take them on walks or play outside when the weather permits and the yard is fenced. Potty breaks are essential and if there was an accident prior to me getting there, I will make sure to properly clean it so that you can relax after your long day
About: I have had a dog at home all my life and have been volunteering at animal shelters for the past 4 years where I would walk dogs and socialize cats and dogs. I am a college student and have a completely free schedule over the summer. I can come on same day notice and can stay over night. I can’t offer my home for boarding but I can stay over at your house and am responsible and have lived alone and can clean do laundry and other tasks to keep the home clean for when you return. I can also come over and bring your dog out for walks.
About: I've been taking care of dogs and cats for years. (10+) Over the years of watching animals, for many especially the ones I see on a regular basis, I have built a strong connection with them. They are literally so special and I form strong bonds with them, as well as all pets and animals. I do my best to feed even the deer, squirrel, birds, wild turkey etc that come into my yard every day. At this point some of them even look into my windows asking, "so are ya gonna feed me or what??" lol :) There is something so special about ALL animals and that is why I truly love doing what I do, I am pretty open just require a days' notice. I am in the Westhampton area and prefer to travel within a 10-mile radius. If needed, I will consider traveling further, please contact me should you live further out, and I will do my best to accommodate you. In the case of being located outside of the 10-mile perimeter I may charge for a meet and greet. PLEASE NOTE** OVERNIGHT STAYS- PRICE INCLUDES UP TO 8 HOURS. In the past I watched animals out of my home however, at this time, I am available to check in with your pet in the comfort of their own home, feed them, go for 30 min walks, play in the yard or just hang out for companionship. Whatever they like most I can absolutely accommodate.
“Our pup loves Jeff. We had Jeff give Cookie a walk while we were out for the day. He arrived at our home at the time requested and sent us pictures of the walk. It gave us the freedom to stay out and not rush home knowing Cookie was in good hands!”
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.
About: I grew up with dogs and have been taking care of them ever since I can remember. I have a wide range of experience ranging from training young puppies to taking care of elderly and sick dogs. I love all animals and would love to hang out with your pup! I am available most weeks for the whole day if needed. I can stay with or occasionally drop by to feed, walk, and hang out with your pet! I ensure that both the pets and the homes are left better than they were when I came. My pets have always been treated with love and kindness, as all pets should be.
“Mekayla arrived early for our meet and greet followed by a short walk. My pups warmed up to her almost instantly, they seemed sad to see her leave. Mekayla is kind, gentle with the pups and such a pleasure to talk to. Can’t wait for more sessions!”

“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”
“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!!!”
“Cindy took very good care of Cooper… she sent pictures of Cooper snuggling with her family and her dog Pepper. I would highly recommend Cindy. Cindy is a wonderful person… very kind and flexible. She is a fantastic dog sitter. I would definitely bring Cooper back again.”
“This is the second time my dog has stayed with Antonia, and she absolutely loves it there! I always get lots of pictures and updates, and I know she’s being well cared for. Every time I pick her up, she never wants to leave. Highly recommend! 🐾❤️”
“Apryl was so kinda to help us out in a very last minute pinch! She was very responsive and easy to communicate with! She had a great yard and home set-up for overnight doggy guests and our pup loved the one-on-one attention she got from Apryl. When it was time to pick our pup up she didn’t want to leave! We would definitely book Apryl again!”
“I read Matt and Kirsten’s reviews when I needed to board my dog in a pinch, and I thought these reviews may be overstating how wonderful they are. The truth is, they are UNDERSTATING it. I’m not sure nicer, sweeter, more attentive dog sitters exist. They were so true and genuine in their caring of my 2 yr old lab - maybe even more than I am and I’m a pretty crazy dog mom. I felt so at ease on my trip because I knew how happy my hound was and M + K communicated with frequency and love. My dog had THE best time. Thanks so much for an amazing stay for Danny and incredible peace of mind for me.”
“Harper enjoyed her stay with Brittany and her family...and of course Inara. Brittany kept me informed of via photos and comments. Harper loved the kiddie pool in the backyard and snuggling with her son Weston on the sofa. We will gladly use Britanny's services again.”
“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.”
“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 wish I could leave more than 5 stars Jinay made me feel so comfortable drop my dog off it was my first time experiencing this so I was a little bit nervous Jinay made it so easy her and her husband are amazing I will definitely be booking in the near future thank you again !”
“Kathy was an amazing pet sitter. My dog stayed for three nights and had the best time playing with her sweet dog Ollie. Kathy was incredibly attentive and kind. My dog had hurt her leg prior to going over there and she even took the time to gently massage her leg ( after checking with me) It really meant a lot knowing my dog was so cared for uncomfortable. I wouldn’t hesitate to book with Kathy again and highly recommend her!”
“I'm very grateful to Christine for taking good care of April while I was away. April required eye medication a few times a day and Christine handled it very well . She sent photos each day and I was happy to see April with other dogs in a well maintained play area . I would gladly board April with Christine again.”
“My dog's recent stay with Cynthia A. was a very positive experience. We had great communication and the facility is set up nicely for dogs. As a bonus, Cynthia has extensive experience with dogs and I felt very comfortable leaving my dog with her.”
“Thank you for taking such good care of my Lily while I was on vacation for a week. The constant updates and photos put me at ease to know my little girl was happy and comfortable being away from me for the first time. I loved that she was the only dog in the home with someone always home to let her out or monitor her. She had a lot of fun! Will definitely be booking again for any future trips.”
“We left our family Dog, Luna, with Alex for 9 nights and he did a great job! Alex sent a short video and photo every morning to keep us assured that Luna was having a great time and was doing well! I would highly recommend Alex and wouldn't hesitate to use him again!”
“Sherlock's enjoyed his stay! Glad he got along well with Oakley and Archer right off the bat. Kerri was so kind and was awesome with providing with pictures and updates every day.”
“Marla is so sweet and was such a great host for our fur babies! She was super easy to communicate with and even sent us video updates while we were away! Will definitely book again when I need a sitter!”
