About: I enjoy cats and dogs as I have had my own, currently pet sit for my roommates cats while she’s on vacation. Cuddle puddles are my favorite pastime Evenings and weekends are preferred, can be flexible. I can do drop ins anytime past 6pm on the weekdays and anytime on the weekends. Emergency calls can also be arranged. I care for pets by slowly introducing myself, first by smell then when comfortable, by touch. I give treats when warranted, but ensure no over feeding/snacking. Lastly I cuddle with pets who are most comfortable.
About: If you’re in need of a loving, safe and playful companion for your pet for a few days or weeks, I would be thrilled to fill the spot. I was the proudest mom to 2 cats for 18 years. I am very comfortable with senior care and special care as both had various health issues later in life or allergies requiring special diets, twice daily medication administrations, and in general an extra amount of care and affection. I have been trusted to care for many cats and kittens over the years for fostering purposes, rescue purposes and pet sitting purposes. I have cared for dogs on a pet sitting basis for many friends, so I am happy to come by for a drop in visit. I also care for a wonderful parakeet I rescued in my backyard. I currently work from home so pet care is effortless for me. I thoroughly enjoy the company while I'm working and am thrilled to provide affection all throughout the day. I feed your pets at least in the morning and at night, but more if advised/requested by you! My own routine is quite consistent so you can be comforted knowing that I will be up early ready to feed your pet and always home to give them an early dinner. I enjoy spending a lot of quality time with them. Whether they thrive with a lot of play time or just need someone available to give them affection, my attention is always there.

West Islip dog parents share their Rover experiences
Shelby was amazing! She was patient, gave extra details about the visit, thorough, and made sure my Roxie girl was safe every step of the way. She communicated with me and sent so many photos! I will definitely book with her again in the future and highly recommend her to others. Thank you Shelby!
Ericka was great! She made sure my dog Cali was let out safely and got some playtime in to release energy. Photos and detailed notes were available after every visit which we really appreciated. All the visits were timely and went smoothly. She catered to my dog’s needs regarding the extremely cold weather, dressing her with her sweater to go out when needed. Will definitely contact her in the future!
Tori is truly exceptional and I am so happy to have found her here on Rover; after many interviews with people recommended by acquaintances etc., I was losing hope in finding the right person to watch Izzy, my 3 month old Golden Retriever. Tori is thoughtful, reliable, and deeply attuned to both pets and people. From the start, I felt an immediate sense of trust; Tori is communicative, calm, and incredibly conscientious. She went above and beyond to ensure my routines were followed carefully and that Izzy felt safe, loved, and understood. So grateful to have found her and cannot recommend her highly enough.
Krysta took such good care of my 8 month old mini dachshund Butter. I was in need of a sitter last minute and she answered me right away and took on the request which I really appreciated! Butter absolutely loved her and she always kept me updated. I will definitely book with her again.
