Maura was absolutely wonderful with Duchess! This was my first time leaving Duchess home without me for several days, so I was definitely a little nervous, but Maura made the entire experience so much easier. She was attentive, spent quality time with her, took her on walks, and made sure she was comfortable and well cared for. I especially appreciated how consistent Maura was with sending updates and pictures and letting me know how Duchess was doing throughout the day. I would absolutely book with Maura again. I think Duchess may have officially found herself a new babysitter!

Madeleine was seriously amazing with my baby Brooklyn!! 🥹💕 Brooklyn is only 16 weeks old so I’m very particular about who I leave her with, especially since she’s still a puppy, but I felt so comfortable having Madeleine take care of her. I booked her for drop-ins for the entire Holiday weekend and she was super sweet, reliable and very flexible with me timewise, especially when some of my plans changed. She was Sooo accommodating which I really appreciated!! She also kept great communication with me before, during AND even after all of the visits were over, which I loved. She followed everything I asked, kept me updated and sent me sooo many cute pics of Brooklyn lol. I could genuinely tell she cared about her and wasn’t just coming over to do a quick drop in and leave She honestly went above and beyond for us 😭💕 she made Brooklyn homemade organic treats AND the cutest little good doggy certificate after their weekend together lol 🥹 and then surprised me with the most beautiful flowers, a card and a Starbucks gift card which I was NOT expecting at all!! It was seriously so thoughtful.🥹🥹🥹 As a first time puppy mom it means a lot to have someone I can actually trust with my crazy little child 😂💕 Brooklyn clearly loved her and I knew she was in good hands while I was gone. I will definitely be booking Madeleine again!! I’m sooo glad we found her and I would 100% recommend her to anyone looking for someone who will genuinely love and take care of their baby. 🥹💕 10/10!!

Coralie always goes above and beyond to make sure my cat is cared for. I was out of town for over a week on holiday, and she made it so easy and stress free with her care of my cat! She kept an eye on his skin allergies and made sure he was eating normally, and she even allowed me to FaceTime with him a little bit! I’m pretty sure she’s the most professional and kind pet sitter you could ever find. Thank you so much, Coral!

Carla was great. I tend to be one of those pet mothers that is very anxious about leaving my dog with others, or even alone for extensive periods of time. I felt at ease this time around and each check-in was in a timely manner. Overall great experience with Carla!

About: I’ve taken care of dogs for 10 years, I know how to bathe, feed, walk, and play with your dogs even train dogs (not certified). I’m usually always home because I don’t have a job currently, I’m always taking out my dogs every 2 hours because I have a senior. I’m offer dog walking, bathing, playing anything you need from me. Even if it’s feeding, giving them water, putting clothes on them, I can do it all.

About: I’ve spent a lot of time caring for pets belonging to friends and people in my life. I regularly help care for my friends’ dogs by spending time with them, playing with them, and making sure they’re comfortable and safe. I also cared for a friend’s cat for about two years while they were away at college, making sure the cat was fed, had clean water, and received attention and care. I truly enjoy being around animals and understand that every pet has their own personality and needs. I’m patient, responsible, and committed to making sure pets feel safe and cared for while their owners are away. When it comes to house sitting, I’m naturally a calm and home oriented person who enjoys spending time in a quiet environment. I tend to stay in one place for long periods of time, which allows me to give pets plenty of attention and supervision while also keeping the home secure. I’m also someone who likes things to stay organized and clean, so I’m very mindful about respecting a client’s space and making sure everything remains in order while they’re away. My goal is always to make both the pets and their owners feel comfortable and at ease. I currently have a flexible schedule, which allows me to dedicate consistent time and attention to the pets in my care. Since I’m able to adjust my routine, I can visit or stay at your home as needed to make sure your pets are comfortable, fed, and cared for while you’re away. I care for pets in their own home where they feel most comfortable and relaxed. I respect each client’s space and routine, making sure pets are fed on schedule, litter boxes or outdoor needs are handled, and everything stays clean and organized while you’re away.

Sharmily is an excellent sitter! She is very reliable and doesn’t skimp on the updates and photos. Communication and handing off keys was also super easy both times I booked with her! My cat likes her a lot and she is a huge comfort to both of us when I am out of town. I will continue to book Sharmily when I need kitty coverage in the future, and would recommend her services to any cat mom/dad!

About: I love pets! I have experience house/dog sitting for clients that have taken vacations of up to 15 days. While house sitting, I can also bring in mail and water plants. In the past, I have been able to watch up to 2 dogs at a time. I love the exercise that comes from walking dogs, and I welcome dogs that have both high and low energy levels. When given specific instructions about caring for someone's dog, I always follow them, never letting my previous experience and "what I usually do" come before meeting the expectations of my clients. I have lived with at least one dog as a pet for 18 years of my life. Let me take care of your dog and be an extension of your love towards them when you cannot be there. I have graduate school classes on Tuesday and Thursday evenings, but I am free for pet care outside of those hours. I am flexible to work around your schedule. I’ve house sat and taken care of cats and dogs while I’ve lived in the house. I’ve also stopped by house periodically to walk dogs and feed them. I’m open to both methods.

FAQs for Drop-In Visits - Adelphi

Frequently asked questions about Rover

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

Rover makes budgeting the cost of Pet 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 Pet Sitting. For more information on service fees, click here .

As of September 2026, there are 17,835 sitters on Rover offering Pet 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.

If you would like updates while you’re away, you can discuss with your sitter how many or how frequent you’d like those updates to be. The Rover app allows sitters to send photos, videos, and messages about your pet, including how many pee or poop breaks occurred. You can message your sitter at any time through the app and our support team is available 24/7 by email or chat if you have concerns.

The personalized, in-home nature of pet care through Rover can mean more individual attention for your pet.

Many pet parents provide a spare key or arrange a lockbox. You can also exchange keys during the Meet & Greet and show your walker how to use digital fobs or personalized codes. It helps to arrange access to your home, from spare keys to concierge introductions, before pet care begins.

If you live in an apartment or condo, don’t forget to discuss details like buzzer access, codes, or elevator etiquette. These details can help a pet sitter feel more comfortable going in and out of your building.

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.

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.

A Meet & Greet is a short introductory meeting between you, your pet, 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.

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.
