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.
“Lilla has been amazing with our dog and communication with me. Lloyd was having severe anxiety and Lilla communicated with me every step of the way, on his behavior, shyness, and even when he got a bit aggressive towards her. She comforted him and gave him the space and attention he needed as we devised a plan. I appreciated her openness, understanding and thoughtful approach to our dogs needs!”
About: Hi! My name is Renee and I’ve been taking care of animals for most of my life. I grew up in a household with many different kinds of pets including dogs, rodents, and reptiles. I currently own two small dogs, Shih Tzu and Maltese mixes, one is 13 and the other is 3. I love all animals and am comfortable with them all. I’m currently unemployed so I have tons of time to care for and play with your furry friends! I’m mostly available on weekends as I have responsibilities weekdays, but I’m very flexible! I have a fenced in yard. I would keep my dogs separate just as a proactive measure since they are small. In your home I would care for your precious pet how you see fit!

“This was our second time booking Teffni, and once again, she was absolutely fantastic! We have three cats and Teffni is so patient and attentive with each of their personalities. She also carefully managed their different food routines. We loved getting regular updates and photos during each visit. We came home to three content, well-cared-for cats. We’ll definitely continue booking with Teffni! Highly recommend!”
“Jane took great care of our elderly cat, including giving her multiple medications when the cat struggled with being alone. It was a great relief knowing how well Jane was taking care of our pet.”
About: I walked dogs in my neighborhood throughout all of middle and high school, and had well established clients for a number of years. I frequently pet/home sit as well, and am looking to expand my clientele. I’ve owned dogs my entire life and have experience both training puppies and caring for elderly dogs, so neither of those are challenges to me. Excited to care for some new pups and cats as well! I’m getting my Bachelor’s at George Mason University, but I only go in person for classes part time so my schedule is pretty flexible. I’m very comfortable entertaining and playing with dogs and cats both indoors and outdoors, and enjoy taking dogs on hikes in the Sligo area when the owners are comfortable with it. I love to snuggle up with and spoil furry friends, but am capable of being more strict with furniture allowance and training if requested!
About: I've taken care of pets since I was 15. I have watched my family members dogs for a few years now and I love every second of it.

I hope to see your furry friends soon! I do not currently have a job and I'm a college student. I can work any day of the week for an extended period of time. I have loved animals all my life and look forward to meeting as many doggos as possible! I ensure to follow all rules provided to me to ensure the safety and care of your pets and your home. I'm willing to take them for walks or to a park to go and play and make sure they feel comfortable with me before anything else.
“My dog Duke loved his time with Ashley each day, twice a day for a week. It was daily complete and total professionalism. Each visit included feeding, changing water, administration of medication, walking and playing with him. Absolutely recommend her and plan to have her help again in the future.”
“Maria was so wonderful with our cat Lucy. Lucy is a bit shy but I could tell from the pictures and videos Maria sent me daily that Lucy was comfortable and having a a great time with Maria’s company. Maria was very reliable and even showed up for us on Thanksgiving Day. She sent me a report every day to let me know how the visit went and how Lucy was doing. We hate leaving our Lucy alone for a few days but it was a great comfort to know she was taken such great care of by Maria while my daughter had to go out of town. I will definitely use Maria again if we need a pet sitter in the future and I’m so grateful for her wonderful care of our sweet Lucy.”
“Jocabet was a lifesaver! She filled in last minute when our usual walker wasn’t available and was very communicative, punctual and gave great updates as well as photos. We will definitely book her again!”
“Juna continues to take fantastic care of my hound mix! My dog is always happy to see Juna, and I can tell from her consistent communication and her lovely walking/drop-in photos that my dog continues to enjoy Juna's care and company throughout each booking. Juna has proven to be capable and resourceful throughout all of her visits with my dog, and I'm confident she would be the same with yours, too!”
“Lindsay is awesome! On time and super communicative. Her comfortability with Kai and overall experience is very comforting and Kai loved her. Looking forward to booking again soon!”
“We are first time users of Rover, and Hailey did a great job with our cats. Their diet requires some preparation, and she did a great job. She made visits professionally, on time, and kept in touch with us. She was never afraid to seek clarification and additional directions if needed and conducted herself as a professional at all times. We will definitely be using her again if she's available!”

“I hired a Rover sitter but at the last moment they were unable to do the job. Rover helped me identify Nicholas as a good candidate. We had very little time to make any arrangements or explain what to do. He handled it all and I had no worries. I will definitely use him again!”
“I seriously owe Danielle and company everything! We had a death in the family and had to leave town last minute. She wasn't even available on the app because she was getting surgery and she still managed to hobble over and take care of my kitty cats. Her mom was in town and she showed her mom what to do, because we've used danielle many times before, and everything was perfect. Just goes to show you that she will get it done. I got picture updates and everything went beautifully. I cannot recommend Danielle highly enough.”

Dog parents share their Rover experiences - Adelphi
Olivia was so attentive to our little dude, including responding when he had some stomach troubles. She even offered to add on an extra visit, and communicated throughout. She was thoughtful about time outside during the heatwave. I trust her fully with our pup!
Kacy is exceptional. She is just the right person we were looking for to take care of our dog to the same level we take care of him. It’s was very apparent the first time she met our dog that she truly loves dogs and understands their language. We’ve had nothing but great experiences with Kacy.
Connie has been a perfect addition to our pet sitters. We have a pretty anxious smaller pup who takes a while to warm up to strangers and she has been really patient with her. She is also great with our energetic young rottie. She is prompt with her replies to our requests for visits and even with last minute requests.
Catherine did an amazing job watching my babies while I was out of town. I am so glad I found her on here! It can be difficult finding someone trusted that is also good with your pets. Catherine came right in and immediately my two dogs took a liking to her. Thank you so much Catherine I’ll def be reaching out again soon!
We had a great experience with Neika as our dog sitter! She was always prompt and reliable with every appointment, which gave us a lot of peace of mind. Her communication was stellar—she kept us updated consistently and made sure Daisy (Dog) was well cared for and comfortable the entire time. It’s clear she genuinely cares about the pets she looks after. We would absolutely book with her again and highly recommend her to anyone looking for a trustworthy sitter!
We couldn't be happier with the professional and reliable care from Molly. She quickly connected with our massive, 130 pound dog Zeka, and made sure he received the exercise and mid-day bathroom break that he needed. Molly is very responsive and easy to communicate with. We highly recommend her.
Jared was fantastic with our crew! We have a dog and cats who are pretty wary of strangers, but he was so patient and totally respected their boundaries. He eased in slowly and the results were great—everyone was happy and relaxed. The communication was awesome, and we loved getting all the updates. Plus, a huge extra thanks for cleaning up some cat vomit on our bedspread while we were out—definitely went above and beyond!
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.

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.

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.

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.

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.

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.
