About: I’ve taken care of dogs since I was 10, starting with my own Maltese, Snowball, who I’ve raised since he was a puppy. From walks to bath time to snuggles, I’ve been hands on every step of the way with the support of my family. Over the years, neighbors, friends, and family have trusted me with their pups too, knowing I treat every dog like my own. I’m attentive, patient, and happy to care for senior dogs, small breeds, and playful pups alike. I work a part-time job at my college on Wednesdays, but I’m available to sit any other day of the week! I have lots of time to give your pup attention, playtime, and outdoor walks. I have a fenced yard and a sweet older dog named Snowball who gets along well with dogs, cats, and children. At my home, I make sure pets are fed on time, have fresh water, and get plenty of affection and attention. I love keeping their routines consistent and providing a calm and safe space. If I’m caring for pets in your home, I will follow your instructions closely to make sure they feel comfortable and cared for.

Ashley did an amazing job caring for our cat. She provided detailed daily updates and pictures of our cat during her visits. We appreciated the consistent communication and felt she was very reliable. Ashley was also flexible with scheduling - we had to shorten our trip at the beginning and she was accommodating and came instead an extra time throughout the time we were gone. We can tell she had a gentle and caring approach with our cat, and understood what the cat needed. We’re grateful for it all!

About: I have been dog sitting for my neighbors, friends, and family for many years. What I bring is patient, reliable care, a flexible schedule, and a genuine love for keeping dogs happy, safe, and well-exercised. I take the time to understand each dog's unique personality and needs, making sure they receive plenty of attention, play, and affection while also following each owner's preferences and instructions. Pet care fits easily into my weekly routine thanks to my flexible schedule. I'm available most mornings from 7:00–11:00 a.m., generally available throughout the midday and afternoon with advance notice, and available again in the evenings from about 5:00–8:00 p.m. I’m happy to work with owners to find times that best fit their needs. When I’m caring for your dog, my main focus is making sure they’re safe, comfortable, and happy. I’ll follow your routine and any instructions you leave, whether that’s feeding, walks, or playtime. On walks, I always stay aware of my surroundings and make sure your dog is secure and well cared for.

Danielle was terrific. We used her for drop in visits for my two cats. She came by for a meet and greet and was extremely sweet and you can definitely tell she cares and loves all animals. We got regular updates daily when she came to feed my cats and fish which included pictures. My one cat who is shy around new people was extremely receptive to Danielle. I highly recommend her.

About: I’ve been surrounded by animals for as long as I can remember and have had several pets of my own growing up, so caring for them has always been a natural part of my life. I’ve looked after dogs for friends, neighbors, and family, and I truly enjoy getting to know each pet’s unique personality. Whether it’s long walks, playtime, cuddles, or simply keeping them company, I always treat every dog as if they were my own. I’m patient, dependable, and committed to making sure your pet feels loved, safe, and comfortable while you’re away. I recently graduated, so I have a very flexible schedule and can easily adjust to your pet’s routine. Whether it’s early morning walks, midday check-ins, evening visits, or overnight stays, I’m happy to help. I know how important consistency is for pets, and I’ll do my best to make sure they feel comfortable, loved, and cared for while you’re away. My goal is to make your time away as stress-free as possible, for both you and your pet. I understand how much trust it takes to leave your pet in someone else’s care, and I don’t take that responsibility lightly. I’ll always follow your pet’s routine and any instructions you provide, from feeding schedules and medications to favorite toys and walking routes. I’ll keep you updated with plenty of photos and messages so you can feel confident they’re happy and doing well. I also treat every home with the utmost respect and will care for your pet as if they were part of my own family.

About: Growing up, caring for animals wasn’t just a hobby—it was a responsibility I took on from a young age. Since I was 10 years old, I’ve been helping stray animals by providing food, basic care, and safe spaces whenever possible. That early experience shaped my deep understanding of animal behavior, especially with shy, anxious, or previously neglected pets. In addition to hands-on experience with strays, I’ve volunteered at pet rescue organizations where I assisted with feeding, cleaning, socializing animals, and preparing them for adoption. This has given me experience with pets of all temperaments, including those who need extra patience and attention. Pet sitting has become a steady and meaningful part of my daily routine while I am unemployed. It gives structure to my day, keeps me active, and provides a sense of responsibility. Caring for animals, managing feeding schedules, and ensuring their comfort helps me stay productive while also earning some income and maintaining a positive mindset during this transitional period. --- I do not have pets of my own, but I provide attentive and reliable care for pets in both my home and my clients’ homes, depending on the service requested. In a client’s home, I follow all provided instructions closely, including feeding schedules, walks, playtime, and any special care needs, while also ensuring the home remains clean and secure. If caring for pets in my home, I create a safe, comfortable environment with regular supervision, exercise, and consistent routines to help pets feel at ease. My focus is always on maintaining the pet’s normal schedule and providing a calm, caring experience.

About: I helped raise 3 dogs from puppyhood and cared for one senior dog and cat. The senior dog had major health problems, so I'm more than comfortable caring for pets with specific needs and health difficulties. I'm currently involved in volunteer work, and my schedule is highly flexible, allowing me to be available for the summer. Scheduling will be tailored around you and your pet's unique needs. As a pre-law student, I highly value and respect trust, safety, and boundaries. I promise to respect you, your home, and of course, your pet.

About: I have experience caring for both dogs and cats and have been around animals for most of my life. I grew up with a family dog and helped with feeding, walks, playtime, and daily care. I've also cared for my boyfriend's cat, including feeding, providing companionship, and maintaining the litter box. In addition, my dad has two dogs that I see regularly, giving me experience with different breeds, personalities, and energy levels. I genuinely love animals and enjoy making sure they feel safe, comfortable, happy, and well cared for while their owners are away. I will treat your pets with the same love, patience, and attention that I would give my own. 🐾💕 I work full-time Monday through Friday from 9:30 AM to 6:00 PM, which allows me to provide care before and after work, as well as on weekends. My schedule is consistent and predictable, making it easy to plan visits, walks, and check-ins. I'm available for evening care and weekend bookings, and I'm committed to ensuring pets receive plenty of attention, exercise, and affection while in my care. I understand the importance of maintaining a pet's routine and will do my best to accommodate their individual needs. I prioritize keeping pets comfortable by following their normal routine, including feeding schedules, walks, playtime, and any special instructions provided by the owner. I make sure pets have fresh water, plenty of attention, and a safe environment. I also provide regular updates and photos so owners can feel confident their pets are happy and well cared for while they're away. 🐾💕

Thank you so much for trying with my girl! She can be so shy to go out (sometimes you need to put her collar and leash on if she won't get out) but the most important thing was getting her meds on time, so thank you for doing it when I couldn't!! And thank you SO MUCH for the effort in trying to keep her well and changing your shoes etc. so there was less chance of her picking up anything when she's already sick, your kindness and effort is so very appreciated.

FAQs for Drop-In Visits - Adelphi

Frequently asked questions about Rover

The average cost for Dog Sitting in Adelphi on Rover is $22.2 per visit (as of July 2026). However, all sitters set their own rates based on experience, location, and availability.

Rover makes budgeting the cost of Dog Sitting easy. As long as your dates and pet profiles are correct, the price you see before you book is the same price you pay for Dog Sitting. For more information on service fees, click here .

As of July 2026, there are 17,314 sitters on Rover offering Dog Sitting across Adelphi. Enter your ZIP code to see which available sitters are closest to your home.

A pet sitter can provide focused care sessions, help your pet’s routine stay on track, or keep you updated on your pet’s mood and energy levels.

Whether you’re at the office for the day or traveling for a few nights, a pet sitter can offer potty breaks during a Adelphi stroll, cleaning the litter box, or making sure your pet has on-time food or water refills. For daytime services like walking and drop-ins, you can also request sitters to send a report card with every visit.

Tip: You can discuss your specific arrangements with a pet sitter on Rover to what fits you, your pet, and your sitter’s needs. To find what their special skills are, look at the "Skills" and "Pet care experience" sections on their profile.

Key handling is entirely up to you and your sitter to agree on during the Meet & Greet or in the Rover app. Most pet parents in Adelphi choose to hand over a spare key or digital fob in person, while others arrange a lockbox or unique access code. Don't forget to discuss key returns as well!

Every sitter on Rover is required to pass a background check before listing their services. This process confirms their identity and indicates they are not on the Department of Justice’s National Sex Offender Public Website or have any disqualifying offenses.

Beyond ID checks, you can review each sitter's star rating, read verified reviews from other pet parents, and see how many repeat clients they have. Every booking is backed by the Rover Guarantee, which includes up to $25,000 in eligible veterinary care. For more details, visit Rover's Trust & Safety page .

The Rover Guarantee is Rover’s commitment to your peace of mind every time you book. It includes 24/7 customer support, sitter access to advice from qualified veterinary professionals for diagnostic issues, and a reimbursement program for eligible veterinary care in the rare event something goes wrong.

All bookings are backed by the Rover Guarantee , which provides up to $25,000 in eligible veterinary care reimbursement.

A Meet & Greet is a short introductory meeting between you, your dog, and a sitter. It can take place in person or virtually, although we recommend in-person so that your pet can get to know your sitter or the new environment. During the Meet & Greet, you will have a chance to walk through your pet's routine, medical needs, and unique quirks. Take the time to ask your sitter questions about their skills and expertise, and make sure the fit feels right for everyone. Most pet parents and sitters on Rover welcome Meet & Greets because the process can give confidence and peace of mind for service experiences, especially for longer stays or first-time bookings.

While Rover doesn’t offer traditional subscription services, some sitters offer recurring bookings for services like home visits and dog walking. Recurring services come with their own perks, such as flexibility to modify services (up to five weeks in advance), automatic billing, Rover Card updates, and same-day cancellations.

To find sitters in Adelphi with recurring or weekly availability, select "Repeat Weekly" and which days you’d like them to care for your pet.

Yes, you can find sitters who have experience with handling special pet needs in Adelphi. On Rover:

  • 90% of sitters can help with special care needs
  • 95% can help with giving oral medications or injections
  • 94% can help with daily exercise

You can also find pet sitters on Rover who accept only one pet at a time, which is ideal for anxious puppies, kittens, or senior pets who move at a gentler pace. Some sitters will also list availability for 24/7 care, also known as constant care, in their profiles.

Use the search filters to narrow down sitters whose specific experience or environment meets your pet's needs. When reaching out to your sitter, outline your pet's care routine and use the Meet & Greet to walk your sitter through your expectations.

Sitters on Rover set their own cancellation policy, which you can find on their profile under their calendar availability.

Cancelling before a booking begins and before the sitter's cutoff time qualifies you for a full refund. Same-day cancellations for walks, day care, and drop-ins follow the full refund policy. Otherwise, for dog boarding and house sitting, you will receive a 50% refund for the first seven days of the booking and a 100% refund for the remaining days when you cancel the same day a booking should begin.

If your sitter needs to cancel within seven days of the booking's start date, then our reservation protection will kick in. This means our support team works with you to find a replacement sitter.
