Francesco
North Merrick, New York
Caring and loving pet-sitter.
Francesco has been taking care of my furry babies and my place while I'm away for well over a year now, and I couldn't appreciate him more. He is a joy to communicate with, and the most reliable person one could hope for. Being able to count on him while I'm traveling makes a world of difference, because I know I don't need to worry about anything while I'm away. Benny and Zumba love him and are very well taken care of. I know because I come home to two very relaxed and happy kitties. I am super grateful to have found Francesco!
Eric
North Merrick, New York
Mature, reliable sitter who looks like this site's "How It Works" cartoon Martin
Eric is a wonderful sitter! I knew he would be great after I saw all of his 5 star reviews. When I first talked to him, Eric was very amiable, and asked all the right questions, which showed me that he had read through the listing and paid particular attention to the types of pets that we had and their particular quarks. Eric took the time to meet with me as needed before he came to the place. He was always happy to meet me at the times/days I requested. We had to catch a ferry and it was prebooked, Eric was very flexible and allowed for plenty of time to arrive at our home for us at arrive back so we did not have to worry about the dogs being alone. During his stay, Eric made sure that the dogs were walked and properly attended to. One of our dogs requires daily medication and Eric did a great job with that. One of our boys was a bit whiny during the stay and we had a chat about it, Eric solved the problem during his stay. One the day we came home, Eric offered to launder the sheet and towels which was a such a relief to me a I had so much to do when I got home. One of the best things that Eric did was take our dogs for one last walk right before we came home so that we did not have to attend to them after our long journey. When we got home, our house was clean, our dogs were happy and tired and we were extremely pleased. Be sure to book Eric if he enquires about your listing!
Pearl
North Merrick, New York
The house sitter that is also a jack of all trades, master of many. Main focus.
Pearl was a good pet sitter. She kept us up to date on her arrival and departure, as well as updates on our cat, with photos! She was quick to respond, and left the place exactly as it was left.
TOMOKO
North Merrick, New York
Experienced sitter looking to give your pets some TLC; reliable, clean.
Great experience, we will repeat this!
Renata
North Merrick, New York
Brazilian Vet looking for pets and humans to be friends with.
Renata did a fantastic job taking care of our dog, Lolita. She was easy to communicate with and adaptive to working out any situation that came up. She did a great job working with our often nervous, skittish fur-baby, who was very happy and comfortable with Renata. Definitely recommend!
Lei
North Merrick, New York
A Compassionate Pet Lover
It was an absolute pleasure having Lei sit for our three kitties. She is a warm and positive person who made us feel completely at ease knowing that our home and cats were in safe and loving hands. She communicated regularly, sending lots of pictures. We came home to an immaculate house and three happy and healthy kitties. We would be thrilled to have Lei back again.
Abigail
North Merrick, New York
Working Professional Out to See the Country One Housesit at a Time :)
Abigail was kind and communicative the whole time, and Lucy looked happy and healthy when I got home (to a clean apartment, too!). Can't wait to have her come sit again for us :)
Carol
North Merrick, New York
Adventurous, reliable and ready to care for your pet and home.
Carol was a great Housesitter! She cared for Iris as if she were her own and always kept me updated on how she was doing. I came back to a super tidy house and clean sheets on the bed which was so nice after being delayed for a while on my way home. Carol is a pro pet and housesitter and I could not recommend her more for any upcoming travels you may have, your pet is safe with her!
Jeff
North Merrick, New York
Comedian will make funny movies starring your animals while you're away :)
Jeff was fantastic! From start to finish, we knew our dog/home would be in good hands. We spoke over the phone and then met briefly before we left and while it was only a three-night sit, I would have felt just as comfortable had it been a three-week sit. Communication was great leading up, during, and after. He updated us on how our pooch was doing and sent sweet videos and we just know he gave her a lot of love. Jeff left our apartment tidy and clean and we had a happy dog upon our return! Please don’t hesitate to invite Jeff to sit!!

Reviews from Dog Owners
Wendy & Rob
Joe and Casey were very easy going and reliable. We organised the sit way in advance with a video chat and we had adequate communication leading up to the sit. We handed over the house and animals after a fairly swift explanation of everything. Being experienced sitters Joe and Casey didn't need us to over explain anything (hopefully they felt the same) and we could see very quickly that they were animal lovers. They asked us how much communication we needed whilst away and we said "no news is good news". So we received just the right amount of updates along with the most adorable photos and reassuring words about all the animals. It was clear that they quickly understood the character of each of the animals. We forgot to mention that Tipper likes to dig dirt beds around the garden which creates quite a mess and it was obvious that these were kept under control. The garden and pool were well cared for. We enjoyed a relaxing couple of weeks away knowing that the animals were being loved and the dogs definitely looked for Joe and Casey when we arrived home. Our pets, home and garden were well respected and cared for and we would not hesitate to invite Joe and Casey to sit for us again.

Susan and Jim were exceptional pet sitters for our 2 pups and cat! From the start they were communicative and asked thoughtful clarifying questions that made us feel comfortable immediately. We spent time together the evening before we left for vacation and it was clear that they had read our welcome doc and instructions. They referenced animal behaviors that were noted and confirmed details. They arrived about an hour before we left and gave us all plenty of time to feel comfortable with being in our home. Throughout our vacation, Susan sent photos and updates of our critters and let us know how they were spending their time together. Susan was quick to respond to my messages via WhatsApp any time I reached out. Susan and Jim stayed at our house until we landed at the airport and let them know we were safely on the ground. They fed and walked the dogs and let us know they would be gone before we got home. It was great knowing that had our flight been delayed, they would have stayed at the house until we were safe driving distance away. We came home to a sparkling clean home, a thriving and happy garden, and well cared for animals! Susan and Jim left us detailed notes of their stay and even gave us lots of instructions on how to keep our garden happy! What a treat! All our linens were washed and replaced and the house was immaculate. Thank you Susan and Jim for choosing our home and furry family to spend your time with! You were the best first experience we could have asked for and would love to have you back again!

Lea is seriously the best! We lucked out big time with her as our house sitter. She didn't just watch our home; she made it sparkle, and our dog Mezy? Well, he fell head over paws for her! Mezy's doesn't always warm up to new folks so easily but Lea had this magical charm that had him wagging his tail from day one. She showered him with cuddles and playtime, and we got daily photo updates that were basically cuteness overload. But Lea didn't stop at being the dog whisperer. Every nook and cranny was squeaky clean, and it felt like we were walking into a Pinterest-worthy home. Our plants thrived under her care too. Communication was a breeze with Lea. She kept us in the loop about everything and replied to our messages super quickly. It gave us peace of mind knowing she had everything under control. Lea's not just a house sitter - her friendly, laid-back vibe made everything so easy. We can't thank her enough for taking such great care of Mezy and our home. We're definitely booking her for all our future adventures. If you want your pets to adore your house sitter and come back to a spotless home, Lea is the one to call. Thanks a million, Lea!

Ray and Lynn were excellent sitters for Moose! They took him out multiple times a day and always played with him. They sent so many pictures and Moose always looked so happy! They were very flexible on when they arrived and left and very organized. The house was left clean and tidy and we found a happy dog when we got home. We would definitely have them back anytime!
Koni
Robyn was a great pet sitter and house sitter. She went way over and beyond my expectations!!!! She sent a photo of her and my dogs and they were looking at her like they were in love. And my cats are not very friendly, but she won them over also. I would highly recommend Robyn as a pet sitter and house sitter. She is a very sweet lady. I would love to have her watch my babies again and again.
Melanie
Cyndi was fabulous. I'd describe her as the no fuss no muss dog sitter. While some dog sitters need guidance on every little detail, Cyndi was completely self-sufficient. She left the home in perfect shape and totally adored my pup. I'd gladly welcome her back anytime!

Joe arrived some days before I left, so I could show him some nice places in Switzerland and he had enough of time to learn all about the dogs and how to handle them. He is an amazing nice and an animal/natur loving person who took care of my dog with incredible affection when I was in vacation. I could really enjoy it, because I knew, everything is ok at home. He sent me picutres and I could see, how much fun they have together. He cooked for the dogs, mad a lot of nice hikes with them and huged them, when they need it - so he even got the trust from Artu (as a man really not easy). And not only that, he made woodruff punch for me and sowed my tomatoes and spoiled them with melt water. And he helped also the women which looked after the horses and helped her to going walk with them. Generelly he is super friendly, so everyone in the village likes him. He is considerate of your belongings and has handed the house back neatly. He is just the best. I'm so gratuful he was here. So, if you have a chance to get him as a sitter, take it. Your animals will be grateful to you and have a good time while you are on vacation. Joe, you're not just a dog sitter for me. You were so familiar to me from the first moment. We had a lot of fun and we already miss you sooooo much. I'm really looking forward to see you again in some monthes.

Stephanie, Brian and baby Martin took fabulous care of our home and pets for two weeks. From the outset, communication was quick, smooth and friendly and it was clear that both Stephanie and Brian are reliable, professional and warm sitters who take all the various elements of a sit seriously. They kept us up to date with photos and messages, dealt proactively and competently with any unexpected issues that popped up, and most importantly showered our dogs and gerbils with attention and care throughout the time we were away. We returned to a spotlessly clean home (with thoughtful touches of fresh milk, bacon and bread waiting for us) and happy, settled pets. In short, we would recommend Stephanie and Brian to anyone looking for reliable, attentive and proactive sitters for their pets and home. We would be delighted to welcome them back for another sit, should they ever find themselves in the area again.

Charlie was again an outstanding sitter for us whilst we were away at a wedding. This is the second time having Charlie and although we have not met face to face we completely trust her with our home and of course our cat, Nala. Charlie left the house spotless which is amazing to come home to after a long day of travelling. She is reliable, good at communicating and trustworthy and we would not hesitate to recommend her enough. Thanks again Charlie, we hope you come back again and there might even be a dog next time😁

Oh my Goodness! Where to begin. Linda was the perfect house sitter for us and the perfect pet sitter for Olivia! She is one of the nicest people you will ever meet. When we returned from out two week vacation all our plants were alive, the garden was alive, the birds and fish had been fed regularly, and the dog was alive and happy! What more can you ask for, right? Well with Linda you get all that and more. Updates as you request - even videos of her morning walks with Olivia. The house as spotless as we left it, maybe even better! Even the porches were clean! Linda is a genuine treasure and our recommendation would be 10 stars if there were that many!!

Thank you so much for the job done on Teddy! ❤️ Teddy is a one year old Alaskan malamute. I absolutely love the trim she was given. It was her very first time going to the groomers. We always maintain her nicely at home the best that we can, so she didn’t need much done. She got a full grooming done, but specifically got a trim for the main areas: the ears, butt, paws, and legs. Being such a dog mom, I was worried about her first time at the groomers, but I was told she did amazing! She looks and smells great too, thanks to the Love My Dawg team! I love the little bandana that was put on her too. Thank you for taking care of her and making sure she looks good. The lighting in the photos probably doesn’t do it much justice, but it’s a job well done. I forgot to mention how fluffy and soft she’s feeling.
Absolutely thrilled with the service at Love My Dawg! My dog, Honey, just got her haircut from Danielle, and she looks fantastic! Danielle did an amazing job—Honey's cut is stylish and perfectly suits her. The staff are friendly and caring, and the facility is clean and welcoming. Honey came home happy and looking great. I'll definitely be back and highly recommend this place to other pet owners. Five stars!
My fur baby always comes out looking like a million bucks! He smells good and is soft as velvet. I am absolutely in love with this place! They are the best in class!
I have used Love My Dog for grooming several times now & Big Sheba always leaves looking like the Queen she is. All staff encountered are friendly yet professional, & all groomers excellent.
We have used Luv My Dawg for grooming and boarding services for over eight years. In fact, we purchased one of our dogs from them 8 years ago. In May, my wife made a reservation to board our two dogs for a week in August. Earlier today, my wife called to confirm and was told they did not have the reservation. The gentleman my wife spoke with then proceeded to say how we had made several complaints over the past few years. I’m not sure how that was relevant to the inquiry. He said he would call back to see if he could still board the dogs but has not done so. Needless to say, it obvious they are not concerned about keeping us as clients so we will look elsewhere. I know the ownership of this establishment has changed over the years. Unfortunately, not for the better.
Excellent customer service, friendly staff, and our dog is ALWAYS beautifully groomed. Highly recommend !! Thank you !
This past April we adopted our baby after not having a dog in the house for years. We went to the groomer who we used to take our last dog to years ago (in Bellmore) but after two visits I wasn't happy with their work. I found this place and I'm so happy I switched groomers! Our dog has short hair so I cannot comment on their grooming or clipping but she does have very dry skin so we like to get her a professional oatmeal bath every 1-2months. They did a great job cleaning her ears and making her smell nice. But they did an AMAZING job on her nails. They got them as short as possible without it hurting our furry baby and they filed them so they weren't sharp on the edges. This was the main reason why I decided to switch groomers, because I didn't like how the other groomer haphazardly did her nails. The people there are super nice and seem to really car about your dog. And while our dog was nervous going in, she came out all smiles. They even gave her a Fourth of July themed bandana!! Definitely satisfied. I'm taking my baby here from now on!
Found Love My Dawg Resort and Spa doing a search on Instagram! I wanted to find a dog groomer that wasn't afraid or didn't have the patience or commitment to groom my two long hair yorkies. Most groomers will give them the "puppy cut" just because it's faster and easier to maintain. I was tired of being envious of all the long haired yorkies I'd see on Instagram, so I finally decided to search via hashtags and came upon Love My Dwag's account. It was love at first scroll. I made an appointment and haven't stopped going to them since! The amount of LOVE they give my babies makes the experience for them all the better! The groomers there are probably the most highly trained, experienced, and certified on the south shore! They are all incredibly talented artist and professionals. I never ever leave disappointed. Chrissy is AMAZING! Beyond what I said above, Chrissy is always pushing her talents to the next level and never stops learning! I feel ridiculously and blessed to have found her, and for the amount of love and attention she gives to my two fur babies. She really does treat them as if they were her own kin. Everyone at Love My Dawg is a pleasure to interact with. They all do love their jobs, and when you love your job, it really does show and makes the whole experience that much better. The south shore is super lucky and fortunate to have a business like Love My Dawg in our community!
This place used to be good but now they overbooked the appointment, and they don't know how to manage. They used to take 1.5 hr to wash my dogs and now this poor dogs sit there for 4 hrs, and you have to keep calling and asking if they are done. One of my husky have anxiety he doesn't like to be locked up for 4 hrs, so I informed them can you finish both of them at the same time so he won't sit there crying. They do this job without any care and it's very annoying. I made appointment for my dogs today and confirmed last Wednesday they were like we are booked. Can you bring then Thursday. This is very unprofessional, and I would rather take my business somewhere who actually care about the dogs and take care of them the way they deserve. I will give 0 start if I can. That's how annoyed I am.
We’ve been using love my dog for a couple years.. My two black labs always come home very clean and happy. The staff are always friendly and make you feel that your fur kids are in good hands.
