Samantha was great! We had an unique petcare request and she was exceptionally accommodating. She sent us updates and photos and our little guy was well taken care of. We highly recommend her to other Rover-subs.

We love Anna! From the moment she asked if she could come meet my pup before booking, I knew she was amazing. Gracie, my 1 1/2 year old Maltipoo can be challenging and she was so patient and amazing with her. I felt so at ease going to my sister's wedding knowing that someone so caring, reliable, understanding, professional, and communicative was in my home with my fur baby. What I love most about Anna is her love for animals which shines through as soon as you meet her. She will contact you with any questions, which I love, and sent pictures and updates, also love! If you are thinking about booking with Anna, stop thinking and do it. You won't find another person quite like her! If we ever need a sitter again, she will be the first one we call. 💕🐶🐾

Kat was amazing with my two big dogs. We have an Australian Shepherd and German Shepherd and can be a lot. Kat made this process so simple. She came for a meet and greet and my dogs (and kids) liked her right away. While we were away, Kat stayed with them in our home. We got a lot of updates and pictures. We came home to a clean house and very happy dogs. Now we can’t wait to go on vacation again, since we know we don’t have to worry about the doggies!

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.

I can’t recommend Phaedra ENOUGH! I was a first time Rover user and was nervous about going out of town for 5 days. Phaedra took the best care of my dog, provided me constant updates the entire time I was away with photos, videos, and messages. I felt completely comfortable the entire time. And, my house was left just as clean as I left it! Highly recommend and will hopefully use Phaedra next time I’m out of town, so long as she’s available!!!!!

Oswald was so incredibly helpful to me and my dog, Bear! Since Bear has mobility challenges, I enrolled him in rehab for physical therapy. Not only did Oswald help me with the lifting and carrying of Bear, he even generously drove us to and from the rehab center. His time, care, and attention meant a lot to me and is deeply appreciated. Thank you so much!

About: I have three dogs of my own, so caring for animals is a consistent and structured part of my daily routine. I prioritize long, intentional walks, enrichment, and balanced play to support both physical exercise and mental stimulation. I’m experienced with both dogs and cats, and comfortable with a wide range of sizes, breeds, and temperaments. With dogs, I’m familiar with everything from small companion breeds to larger, more energetic dogs. With cats, I understand the importance of respecting their space, routines, and comfort levels. In both cases, I pay close attention to body language and behavioral cues so I can adapt my care to each pet’s individual needs. I also have experience supporting animals with separation anxiety by providing a calm presence, consistency, and reassurance so they feel secure while their owners are away. I focus on creating a stable, predictable environment that helps reduce stress and build trust. Reliability, patience, and consistency are central to my care. I take time to understand each pet’s routine and reinforce positive behaviors during walks and visits, always aiming to maintain the structure and comfort they are used to at home. I’ve been around animals my entire life and bring both intuition and responsibility to every booking. My goal is simple: to provide safe, attentive, and genuinely caring support so your pets feel comfortable, understood, and well cared for while you’re away. Pet care fits naturally into my daily routine, as I already care for my own dogs every day. I’m used to structuring my schedule around consistent walks, feeding, playtime, and general care, so it’s already built into how I plan my days. I have full-day availability and a flexible schedule, which allows me to accommodate a variety of needs throughout the week, including dog walking, drop-in visits, and house sitting. I’m able to adjust my day based on each pet’s routine so they receive consistent, reliable care at the times they’re used to. Whether it’s morning walks, midday check-ins, or overnight house sitting, I prioritize being present, dependable, and attentive. My goal is to maintain each pet’s normal routine as closely as possible while providing calm, consistent care throughout the day or stay. When caring for pets in a client’s home, I prioritize safety, respect, and maintaining a calm, familiar environment. I follow each pet’s routine closely, including feeding schedules, walks, litter box care, and any specific instructions provided, to ensure consistency and comfort. I am very attentive to each pet’s behavior and body language, which helps me respond appropriately to their needs and ensure they feel safe and understood. For pets that may experience anxiety, I focus on providing a steady, reassuring presence and minimizing disruption to their normal routine. I also provide updates as needed so owners feel informed and at ease throughout my care. I treat every home with care and responsibility, making sure to keep the space clean, secure, and exactly as I found it, while being mindful of safety at all times, including doors, leashes, and any specific household guidelines. My goal is to create a stable, trustworthy environment where pets feel comfortable and cared for, and owners feel confident that both their home and their pet are in reliable hands.

From the first time he interacted with my dog, I knew all will be well, because my dog was calm. Rick (my dog) is looking forward to future visit. I would highly recommend Juan.

About: My name is Deshaun, a former tv meteorologist, and I love dogs. I am experienced with taking care of dogs through family and friends. Giving animals as much love as possible is my motto. Show them as much love and attention as possible and always be on alert with pets. Never leave peers on their own. Make sure that they are well fed. I’m currently in between jobs, so I have all the time in the world. I will dedicate a lot of time into taking care of my clients I treat my client’s home with top care. I will never bring strangers into their homes, keep everything clean and tidy and avoid rooms that are banned.

Amanda N. did a great job housesitting our dog Maru for an evening. Although they had not previously met, within minutes of arriving at our home, Amanda was able to befriend our 1 year old puppy. This is not the easiest task for many people, as our puppy has a bit of a guard dog personality and can be standoffish with strangers until she gets to know them. Not a problem for Amanda, who has real dog skills and had Maru playing games with her (and eating out of her hand) almost immediately. I recommend Amanda and plan to engage her again, next time we need a sitter for Maru.

About: I am a certified canine coach for a local dog daycare company, with expert experience in play management, basic training, and of course, showering all pups with love. I recently graduated with a degree in Wildlife Biology, giving me a solid understanding of animal behavior, dog breeds and temperaments, and basic mammal morphology. I absolutely adore dogs of all shapes, sizes, and temperaments, from 5 lb yorkies to 150 lb mutts! I have experience with all age ranges, having raised my childhood beagle from 4 months to senior years, along with currently raising a 3 year old golden cavalier. I am currently (as of june 2026) working part-time as a naturalist for Nassau BOCES. I often teach programs during the day but am regularly available for overnight stays and mid-day check ins. My program locations change daily but are all located within nassau county, and can be shared with you at the beginning of the month. I take great pride in providing the best care for your pup, helping them to stay on your set routines. While staying at your home, I will provide enrichment, exercise, and basic training along with tons of cuddles and love. I can crate dogs or have them cuddle up in bed with me depending on your preferences. Walks, feedings, and drop in can be scheduled at your convenience, barring my schedule for my daytime work.

Keoma watched my two kitties for four nights while I was out of town. I cannot recommend her highly enough!!! I received regular pictures and updates, and Keoma left our apartment spotless. Keoma even managed to befriend our rescue cat who is a very nervous fella (this is rare!). I would 10000% book Keoma again next time I plan to be away.
