“Responded quickly, pleasant and did well with doggies (I have one large dog and one small), they took to her immediately and I was very happy about this.”
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!
“Kacy helped me out last minute and was so communicative throughout the whole process! I really appreciated how responsive and kind she was. It gave me a lot of peace of mind knowing my dog was in good hands. I’m really grateful for the help and would absolutely book with her again!”
“Erica has been super on-time and communicative, and was able to check in on my cat with a last-minute booking for one more day when our travel plan got delayed. Would recommend!”
“Steven was incredible with my girls. He genuinely cares about what he is doing and gave both of my dogs so much care and support while I was away. They loved having him over for drop ins.”
“Olivia is amazing. We booked her just a couple of days before the appointment and she delivered. Louie got along well with her and she took care of him perfectly. We will definitely be using her again!”
“Astrid is wonderful! She made us feel very comfortable to leave our cats with her. She would always go above and beyond and send us so many pictures. We will be booking with her again!”
About: I’ve had a pet by my side my entire life! I have 3 cats and I previously owned 2 huskies and a rottweiler as a child! I love and accept all animals and I can’t wait to become your pets next best friend! I work part time in a home cleaning business! The schedules vary, but i will always make room in my schedule for you and your pet! I offer overnight stays and quick pop in playtimes and walk times. I will treat your pet as my own and make sure they have everything they need! food, water, playtime, chill time and bed time! I’d love to meet some new friends :)
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.
“My kitties absolutely loved Coralie! They went above and beyond for me and my pets, their communication with me was great. They took tons or pics and would inform me of how the kitties were doing. Would highly recommend booking with them.”
About: I currently have two kittens, Nala and Luna who are my everything. I've had dogs all throughout my life. I am doing this to fulfill my desire to meet and hang out with all sorts of pets. I currently live alone and work a 9-5 at an engineering research lab with a flexible schedule. Other than that, I am open and free to help with your pets. This includes weekends anytime, and also morning and evening stops at your house. I am open to learning anything that your pets need. I love playing with animals and ensuring that they feel safe with me. Anything you need including feeding, water, cleaning (changing litter box etc.) I'm all game for.
“We had a great experience working with Carla! Communication with Carla was very good from the start, and she has great reviews, so I felt confident that my cats would receive the very best care. Carla introduced a laser pointer to our cats, which they were really into! Our cars are not as active as they used to be, so I’m glad they had workouts catching the laser while we were away. Carla even remembered to cancel recurring visits before we returned home, so I didn’t have to remember to do it myself. Sorry, my review is a bit hectic, because I’m severely jetlagged and not thinking straight, but I highly recommend Carla’s services!”
About: I have experience taking care of my pomeranian and two cats for 5 years. Each them have own quirks and special needs. I have experience looking after family pets but I'm open to taking care of any animals special wants or necessities. Currently, I work part-time in catering but my schedule is pretty flexible since most of my shifts are on call. Monday through Saturday are the better days for me. Currently, I don't live with any animals but I do experience with caring for my dog and cat for over 5 years. I also have some experience petting sitting for a couple of relatives

We would definitely will be thinking of her if we need someone to take care of our dog! Thanks Giovanna!!”
“We rely on Jared for walking our dogs and also for dropping in on our cats when we travel. He stays the whole time and plays with them in addition to feeding them and cleaning their litter boxes. All our pets like Jared.”
“Oliver was fantastic with our 2 cats. When we came back they were super relaxed, which is a great sign. Oliver sent us pics every day, and managed exactly as we agreed. Will definitely call back next time we’re out of town!”

Pet 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!
Nichole took great care of my cat! She followed her feeding and cleaning routine well and was very communicative with updates. She was also reliable and responsible, and I never had to worry about my cat while under her care. Most importantly, she earned my shy cat's trust quickly 😺. I highly recommend Nichole for all pet care needs!
Erica watched our cat Kot for 2 weeks with daily home visits and she was fantastic. We got photo updates after every visit, and it was so clear she genuinely loves cats. Kot’s warmed up to Erica fast — we even got pictures of him playing! Erica got to our cat new toys that he loves! Litter, food, and water were always taken care of, and she kept our home tidy. Coming back to a calm, happy Kot made our trip so much easier. We’ll definitely ask Erica again next time we travel.

Frequently asked questions about Rover
The average cost for Pet 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 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 July 2026, there are 18,051 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.
