“Mamdouh and his family are amazing! I have used them twice so far and fully trust them with my dog. They send photos and videos daily, which reassures me my dog is having a blast!”
“We needed to book a boarding at the last minute, and Janine was able to accommodate. She took great care of my dog and communicated often during his stay with photos and updates. He loved running aroun in her backyard and the companionship that her two dogs offered as well. I would recommend her to any friends and family.”
“We had such a wonderful experience! Dior felt right at home from the moment she arrived and was so well cared for during her stay. We loved getting updates and could tell she was receiving lots of attention, love, and even some extra treats. Especially because Dior was in heat we were so happy she was comfortable. The thoughtful gift keychain was such a sweet surprise and really showed how much they care about both pets and their owners. We came home to a happy pup and couldn't ask for more. We will definitely be returning and would highly recommend them to anyone looking for someone trustworthy, caring, and attentive to watch their dog!”
“Nachay was awesome! She took such great care of our Stormi. She was so friendly and professional and our puppy immediately took to her. She sent plenty of pictures and kept us updated daily. I would recommend her to anyone in a heartbeat. If you’re apprehensive about this type of service I would encourage you to meet her and see for yourself. We will definitely be using her again.”
“I am very happy with the treatment my dog got. She gave him a lot of love and many photos were sent to me. She texted me often to give me update. Lucky seemed happy.”
“Kierra is AMAZING! Incredibly friendly, warm and caring. She genuinely loves caring for pups and puts so much energy and thought into it. Don’t think twice about booking with her!”
“Pam & Jose are fantastic! She asks questions if she notices anything out of the ordinary & extremely loving towards our little guy. Leaving him with them allows us to travel with ease knowing our dog is in great hands.”
“Nilka is a treasure. She is extremely loving to animals, showers them with attention and walks and very communicative, sending photos and updates. Boarding with Nilka is a vacation for your pooch. Highly recommended! I will use her every time she's available.”
“Narly was an incredible host for our two pups, Brady and Lola. While away she sent us photos daily. I would definitely use her again when needed. We feel very lucky to have found her. Thank you Narly!”
“Amazing experience, Vanessa is great, my babies were taken care of as if they were part of her family. Vanessa is so loving and really payed attention to every detail. Will always recommend 100 %. Trixi (Dog) and Ash (Cat) had a amazing time.”
“Grace took excellent care of our senior, blind Lab Mix, Dutch. It took Dutch a bit to get used to a new situation and Grace took it in stride and was very caring. Grace provided Dutch with her oral medication daily along with eye drops 2x daily. We recommend Grace and will be checking her availability next time we go away. Thank you Grace.”
About: 💠 Hello! I offer pet care for when you’re not able to be there. I am available for drop-in visits, pet sitting, pet daycare, and also pet walking (even for cats!). 🚙 I currently provide pet care services for most of the Nassau County area and some parts of Nassau-Queens border. I am also able to travel to Manhattan with added transportation coverage. I am local: Repeat services booked with me receive special accommodations & rates. 🌃 Messages that are sent after hours on Rover may be responded to on the following day. 🔹 I’m experienced with small breeds, or toy breeds, specifically Pomeranians, been around them all my life, including newborns and senior dogs who were raised starting as puppies. 🔹 Experienced with docile cat breeds, in particular Persian, Himalayan, Ragdoll, Maine Coon and other related cat breeds. 🔹 Have experience with Goldfish, Bettas and birds such as Budgies, so knowledgeable about care. 🐾 I’m intuitive and pay attention to picking up the different ways a dog or cat expresses nonverbal communication, they constantly give us cues. About Me: I own a color-point Persian cat who is 7 years old that I enjoy spoiling. I can speak Italian, enjoy gardening, art, sewing, yoga, tennis & pilates. I’m a fan of the original Twilight movie directed by Catherine Hardwicke. 🐾 I’m currently providing pet care for a King Charles Cavalier who has mobility issues and dietary restrictions, but he is such a big mush! I am also caring for a special needs 4 month old kitten who needs to be syringe-fed, given both topical & oral medication on schedule, along with helping her with using a litter box. In addition to assisting with care of a (palm-sized) rescue kitten who is less than one month old needing to be bottle fed every few hours, given antibiotic medication for her eyes and frequent cleaning with wet wipes, due to being too young to know how to use a litter box. I have found it to be extremely rewarding and willing to look after a few more furbabies within my local area. 🔹 I’m trustworthy and reliable, I would always practice good manners. Respectful of privacy when I’m in a client’s home. I make sure that when I’m with your pet, safety is an upmost priority.
“I adopted a dog last month and had to take an emergency trip for work and was worried what to do- I was lucky enough to come across Vanessa’s profile and after a meetup, decided to leave my new pup with her. The entire process from meeting Vanessa and her family to picking up Rio was flawless- the fact Rio shared a home with a home with a family vs being boarded was immense and the constant contact and updates kept me at ease. I now feel so much more comfortable when I need to travel knowing she can stay here and have an absolute blast in a family setting with a huge backyard for the dogs to play in.”
“I am so appreciative for the incredibly wonderful warm care Tanu gave Meli. Tanu and her two terrific sons were attentive, loving, and treated Meli like their own. Tanu made sure Meli got plenty of walks, playtime, and cuddle time. Tanu worked hard to make it seem like Meli was also on vacation! It is such a relief to know someone so responsible and kind was taking care of my dog. I will certainly use Tanu to care for Meli... (more at r.rover.com/hCMSHg )”
“Michael watched Finn over a 24 hour period and was very good. He was responsive and flexible and communicated theoughout the process. We look forward to boarding Finn again”
“Alissa is the only option going forward for us going forward!! She accommodated us on short notice after a sitter fell out. Complete professional, beyond knowledgeable, & was incredibly pleasant to deal with. We will recommend her to every single person we know. Best of the best !!”
“Michelle was a Godsend!!! I was referred to her for a last minute dog sitter. The moment I met her I knew she truly loves dogs. Michelle put my mind at ease and I knew Rocki would be in excellent hands. Rocki is normally standoffish and LOVED her immediately after meeting her. She sent pictures, videos, and updates throughout the night. Rocki is very scared of thunderstorms and she petted her throughout the night to keep her calm. I will definitely use her again! HIGHLY RECOMMEND!!!!!!”
“Shushma was the perfect care taker for our girl Lola. She was so quick to respond to all our messages and was so easy and friendly to work with. I felt so comfortable with leaving Lola at her house and will be happy to return.”

She's exactly what we were looking for in a cat sitter and we will definitely be booking her again in the future. She handled everything we asked for and then some. It was a relief to know that our cats were being well looked after twice a day. We also really appreciated the updates and pictures she sent after her visits. Highly recommended!”
“Kierra went above and beyond to make us feel safe leaving a hope alone with a Rover for the first time. She communicated effectively during every visit, took excellent photos, and took time to really provide Hope with the care and love we wanted. She played and sang to Hope, as well as kept her food and water clean and full. We told her she didn’t need to do the litter every day, but she did anyway. Kierra was respectful of the apartment complex and timely with returning our key. Heart of gold and a friend of animals indeed. She even helped us with extending booking (when we messed up 5 times), We couldn’t have had a better experience or human to take care of Hope (who is a rescue cat but had no issues warming up to kierra)”
“Lisa is a reliable, responsible and considerate caregiver who goes above and beyond in her work. She wrote such detailed summaries of her work with our kitty and it helped us feel like she was ok the entire time we were away. You will not be disappointed!”

“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!”

“I will start off by stating Pamela truly a magnetic bubbly human being, her energy alone made me feel safe leaving Keanu in her care. Keanu he felt right at home immediately, and there was an instantaneous connection. Her home is immaculate, a great dog setting which in turn is 100% inviting for all pups. She is a gem and so is her animal loving hubby Jose. The countless videos, pictures are perfect and just makes me feel comfortable throughout his stay with Pamela. She shares her nutritious food and treats and he actually ate well (mini poodle picky eater). You will not be disappointed she is a true animal lover....her vibrant energy begins at her door and just elevates the owner and doggie like magic. Keanu is now a repeat daycare client and would have zero concerns when I need boarding. Thank you PAMELA”

“Gloria and Deb were great. From our initial phone call when she asked me important questions about our dog, you can tell that Gloria takes the safety of your dog as her highest priority. Her house is well set up for a nice size group of dogs and it has a nice fenced in back yard. Gloria emailed me videos of our dog to ensure us he was doing well. And she texted questions when a decision about a treat needed to be made rather than just give him something that we were aware of. Her communication was excellent and our dog seemed very happy and tired after 7 hours with Gloria and deb. We will use again and we highly Recommend. Thanks”

About: With over 27 years of hands-on experience in animal care, I have dedicated much of my life to nurturing, raising, and understanding the needs of a wide variety of animals. From a young age, I was immersed in environments that required consistent, compassionate care for pets, developing a deep-rooted passion and natural intuition for animal welfare. Throughout the years, I’ve gained extensive experience in feeding, grooming, administering basic medications, and observing animal behavior for signs of distress or illness. My approach is always centered around patience, empathy, and attention to individual needs—ensuring that every animal in my care feels safe, loved, and well-cared for. I currently have a beloved fur baby of my own, who receives the highest standard of care and attention. This personal commitment reflects the level of dedication I bring to all animals under my supervision. Whether it’s routine care or emotional comfort, I pride myself on creating a nurturing and structured environment for every animal. As a lifelong animal lover and experienced caregiver, pets are an integral part of my everyday life. My home is not just a place for my own beloved fur baby—it's a welcoming, safe, and nurturing environment for any pet in my care. Because of my personal commitment to animal well-being, I’m home the majority of the time, which allows me to provide constant supervision, companionship, and routine check-ins throughout the day. When boarding with me, your pet will experience a comfortable, secure, and engaging home environment—both indoors and outdoors. Inside, pets enjoy a cozy, climate-controlled space where they are treated like family. I maintain a clean and organized home, with designated pet-friendly areas for rest, play, and feeding. Whether your fur baby prefers quiet time or interactive play, I tailor the indoor experience to meet their individual needs, including any special care routines or accommodations. Outdoors, your pet will have access to a fully fenced-in yard—perfect for safe exploration, exercise, and fresh air. The space is ideal for dogs who love to run, play fetch, or simply lounge in the sun. Supervised outdoor time is incorporated into the daily routine, ensuring plenty of opportunities for physical activity and mental stimulation. In addition, I have a friendly, well-socialized dog who can serve as a playful companion if your pet enjoys the company of others. However, I also understand that not all pets are social butterflies, and I am fully prepared to keep them separated to ensure a calm and stress-free environment for everyone. Whether your pet thrives on companionship or prefers their own space, I adapt to what makes them most comfortable and secure.

“Shari has been wonderful with my senior dog! She is very responsive with messages and updates. I’m so happy to have found such a caring person to spend time with my pup while I’m out of the house.”
About: I have pet sat and walked for many family friends over the years, have 7 years of experience as a Veterinary Assistant in both general practice and emergency since 2019, graduated with a BS in Pre-Veterinary medicine from the University of Massachusetts Amherst in 2023, and am American Red Cross Certified in Cat and Dog First Aid. During my time working I have had hands on experience administrating medications, and working with dogs and cats of all ages and temperaments. I’ve had cats since I was born and have had my dog since 2019. I absolutely love dog sitting and getting to meet and take care of everyone’s babies like my own! :) Pet care is currently my part-time work for this summer! I’m going back to school in September for my Radiologic Technologist program. Still need my cat and dog time though! I am very knowledgeable in both dog and cat body language, how to care for them, can give medications (pills, topical ointments, certain injections), and bathe if needed if given the proper supplies! I will always make sure your pet is safe, whether it be in the outside or in the home (locking doors, checking the yard, etc).
About: I’ve lived with four different dogs over the years of different breeds, helping to sit, feed, and walk them! Also more recently I was doing pet sitting for cats and dogs in Australia, which you can see some of the photos and reviews in my profile here! I currently work from home for myself and have a flexible schedule to be able to accommodate dog walking throughout the week! Ideally a 24/hr advanced booking is best, but I can also “at times” be available for same day bookings! I feel it’s best to first meet the owners and dog together to establish a rapport and warm the dog up to me! Having a good chat with the others as well as any particular instructions as to the dogs needs/behaviors is key to a smooth and happy experience for all!
About: Hi im Naijah! Ive been around animals since i can remember and love being around them. I help out friends and family members with their dogs very often. I can provide Cleaning/grooming, walking, feeding, playtime and exercise. I love all types of dogs. Doesnt matter the age or the size of the dog! I’m currently in school right now, I work my own schedule so i have a lot of free time. I can do drop by visits throughout the day, hourly walks and board in for at home or away from home sitting. I create a safe, consistent environment by mimicking your doggys home routine to make them feel as comfortable as possible while keeping them on the same feeding and walking schedule, and securing home to prevent escapes!
About: I’ve had numerous cats, dogs, birds and a rabbit! I love animals and the unconditional love they give in return. I would love to have the opportunity to take care of your babies while you are gone and give you the piece of mind you are looking for. I’m retired and have plenty of time to play and check on your fur baby! I adore animals and will love yours as much as I love my own! Currently I am offering services in your home only as I have a high energy puppy in mine. If your dog also is high energy and wants/craves stimulation with a like minded pup, I’d be more than happy to see how they get along! My home has a fenced in yard as well as a doggie door, and my dogs go on numerous walks per day.

“We needed to book a boarding at the last minute, and Janine was able to accommodate. She took great care of my dog and communicated often during his stay with photos and updates. He loved running aroun in her backyard and the companionship that her two dogs offered as well. I would recommend her to any friends and family.”
“Kierra is AMAZING! Incredibly friendly, warm and caring. She genuinely loves caring for pups and puts so much energy and thought into it. Don’t think twice about booking with her!”
“Amazing experience, Vanessa is great, my babies were taken care of as if they were part of her family. Vanessa is so loving and really payed attention to every detail. Will always recommend 100 %. Trixi (Dog) and Ash (Cat) had a amazing time.”
“I adopted a dog last month and had to take an emergency trip for work and was worried what to do- I was lucky enough to come across Vanessa’s profile and after a meetup, decided to leave my new pup with her. The entire process from meeting Vanessa and her family to picking up Rio was flawless- the fact Rio shared a home with a home with a family vs being boarded was immense and the constant contact and updates kept me at ease. I now feel so much more comfortable when I need to travel knowing she can stay here and have an absolute blast in a family setting with a huge backyard for the dogs to play in.”
“I am so appreciative for the incredibly wonderful warm care Tanu gave Meli. Tanu and her two terrific sons were attentive, loving, and treated Meli like their own. Tanu made sure Meli got plenty of walks, playtime, and cuddle time. Tanu worked hard to make it seem like Meli was also on vacation! It is such a relief to know someone so responsible and kind was taking care of my dog. I will certainly use Tanu to care for Meli... (more at r.rover.com/hCMSHg )”

“Just an incredible experience. Michelle was a pleasure to have dog sit Hero. She sent tons of pictures and videos and also gave Hero a bath! I would recommend her to anyone. 10/10.”
“Lu boarded our dog and cat for a few days. Everything went great! He and his family are wonderful people and they took excellent care of our pets. We received daily updates with photos, and there was great communication. We are very satisfied with the experience and will call on them again next time we need a sitter. Highly recommend.”
“Victoria is amazing! She made me feel so confident in leaving my dog with her! She is such an animal lover and was so communicative. She made sure Charlie was comfortable and welcomed into her home. She sent pictures and was constantly in touch! Hiring her again for December!”
“I was really anxious about boarding my fur baby, especially since we had just recently rehomed him and were putting so much effort into his training. I came across a few profiles, but Alex stood out right away. He responded quickly, came to meet Leo on his own time, and from the moment we met him, we just knew he was the right fit for our boy. It’s not easy to find someone you can truly trust with your pet, but Alex made it easy. He was so communicative, kind, and accommodating. He even kept up with the commands we were practicing with Leo, which meant so much to us. While we were away, Alex kept us updated with photos and stories, and he gave Leo such wonderful new experiences — from trips to the beach to sitting at an outdoor restaurant. Alex didn’t just take care of Leo, he went above and beyond. He gave us peace of mind while we were on vacation and showed genuine love and care for our pup. I feel so relieved and grateful knowing we’ve found not only a safe and reliable sitter, but a friend and someone Leo is truly happy with. Don’t hesitate to book Alex. He is amazing !”
“Our dogs had the best time staying with Krissy and her family. We got daily updates and pictures from her and could tell that our dogs were loved like they were her own pets. The icing on the cake was the absolutely adorable homemade dog biscuits with notes to each of my dogs, so sweet. We will definitely use Krissy again, she was absolutely wonderful!”
“Yogeeta was great and very attentive when prior to my booking. It was last minute and she answered any questions i had an even set up a last minute meet and greet which was great. My puppy spend alittle more than week with her and she kept me updated with photos and videos the entire time. I am definitely planning to book her again.”
“Judy was awesome with our puppy. I think Harper misses her already even though we just picked her up today (12/7)!! I would highly recommend Judy and we will definitely use her again. Judy is a real dog lover and treats your dog like it's hers. She has a nice yard which is great for play time, especially for a puppy. Great experience for us as this was the first time we left our puppy for a week.”
“I had a great experience with Tina! She took the time to meet Summer on short notice before taking care of her. She sent pictures and updates twice a day and I could tell Summer had a great time. She also has a fenced backyard where Summer enjoyed playing fetch and getting her zoomies out. I would highly recommend her to anyone looking for a dog sitter.”
