“Jenna was amazing! My cat absolutely loved her and when our plans changed multiple times, she rolled with the punches and kept my baby well cared for. She’s attentive to detail, comforted and played with my cat according to her normal routine. I would recommend and rebook her in a heartbeat! Thank you so much, Jenna!”

About: Hi! I’m a lifelong dog lover and rescue enthusiast based in massapequa. I’ve had the joy of fostering several dogs over fthe years, and it’s taught me how to connect quickly with pets and understand their individual needs and personalities. I’m especially comfortable caring for senior dogs and pets who need a little extra attention—whether that means administering medications, taking things at their pace, or just offering calm companionship. Whether you need someone for a drop-in visit, a walk, or to keep your pup company while you’re away, I’m here to help. I treat every dog like they’re family and always aim to make them feel safe, happy, and loved. I’m happy to share updates and photos to keep you in the loop while you’re away. Let’s connect and see how I can help care for your furry friend! As a remote worker, I have a flexible schedule that allows me to be available throughout the day for pet care. Whether it’s a midday walk, an early morning drop-in, or keeping your pet company for a few hours, I can easily adjust my routine to meet your needs. Working from home also means I’m never in a rush—I have the time and attention to give your pet the care they deserve. I can pop in for frequent visits or stay for longer periods if needed, and I’m always just a message away if you want an update or a quick photo of your furry friend. My calm, consistent presence helps pets feel safe and relaxed, especially those who may experience separation anxiety or are more comfortable sticking to a familiar routine. In my home, pets are treated like family—because they are! Dogs are welcome on the couch and bed if that’s what they’re used to (and love). I keep a clean, pet-friendly space where they can feel safe, comfortable, and relaxed. I follow whatever routines they’re used to, whether that’s morning walks, mealtime rituals, or quiet time snuggled up on the couch.

“What a pleasure it was meeting Karissa to care for our pup! She left us updated every day and shared what she was doing on each visit! Can't thank her enough for making our trip stress free! Will definitely contact her for future vacations! Gia also thanks you Karissa for taking care of her every need!! Thanks!?”
“Nick has been a delight! Our Ginger absolutely adores him! He keeps us updated regarding his visit with our pup. Nick is easy to get in touch with and we trust him with our girl. Looking forward to more visits from Nick in the future!”
About: Dogs have been part of my life for as long as I can remember, and I genuinely can’t imagine a home without animals in it! Today, my home is happily full with three dogs, a cat, and two little boys, so caring for others is pretty much second nature to me. Two of my dogs and my cat are rescues, which has also given me experience with animals who may need a little extra patience, reassurance, and time to feel comfortable. I’ve loved dogs of all breeds and sizes over the years—from Great Danes and English Bulldogs to Golden Retrievers—and I truly believe every dog has their own personality, quirks, and way of communicating what they need. I’m patient, attentive, affectionate, and always respectful of the routines and boundaries their families have established. As a pet parent myself, I also understand how much trust it takes to hand your dog’s leash over to someone else. I’ll treat your dog the way I would want someone to treat mine: with kindness, patience, attention, and lots of love. I originally joined Rover years ago simply because spending time with dogs sounded like the best job imaginable. All these years later, that really hasn’t changed. 🐾❤️ I currently work a hybrid schedule, which gives me plenty of flexibility for walks and drop-ins throughout the week. I especially love early morning and evening walks! As a lifelong dog owner with three dogs of my own, pet care is already a big part of my everyday routine. Your pet’s safety and comfort will always come first. I’ll follow your instructions and routines closely, keep dogs securely leashed on walks, and pay attention to their individual personality and needs. I’m also very respectful of clients’ homes and will treat both your pet and your space with the same care I’d want for my own.
“Sarah was great in helping me out with checking in on my dog with last second notice. She was a huge help while I was gone for 24 hours. She’s prompt in responding as well which is always nice. I look forward to her spending more time with Luna in the future’”
About: I was raised with pets. Since my childhood, I have had cats and dogs. I have also potty trained, provided basic training (walking on leash, not pulling, socialization) for dogs. I am a dog grandma to a cockapoo and pitbull who adore me and drive their parents crazy when I am around because I spoil them. I have experience with dogs, cats and some farm animals (cows, chicken) from my yearly summer visits to Guatemala. Like Children, pets take to me because of my loving nature. I am a nurturer and enjoy the company of animals. There seems to be genuine connections. I enjoy their company, cuddling and talking to them. I will treat your babies as if they were my own. Although, I may not allow pets on furniture, if they are used to it, there is always an exception to the rule. They will always feel as if they were at home. Let's meet and I can guarantee your pet will have a great connection with me. I am available to pet sit at your home or mine. Either way, "mi casa" will be "their casa." I don’t mind cat sitting. However, it would be best to care for them in your home as I recently found out, my live in boyfriend is allergic. I currently work from home 3 times a week and my husband twice a week. We have a spacious backyard and can provide their daily activity as needed. We also have the flexibility to walk our furry friends (as requested). Please note: your pets will have their own space and will get lots of love from us. We have a fenced yard with plenty of space and a friendly furry friend. We are available for a meet and greet before finalizing a booking.
The median cost per visit for dog sitting in Amityville is $25
Dog parents share their Rover experiences - Amityville
I cannot recommend Amy highly enough! As a first-time traveler leaving my dog Wawa behind, I was incredibly anxious, but Amy completely alleviated all my worries. When Wawa was having some issues during the stay, she went completely above and beyond, frequently extending her scheduled visits just to make sure my little Shih Tzu was safe and comfortable. On top of the exceptional care, Amy’s summary report cards were an absolute highlight of my trip; her fantastic prose and incredible comedic timing made them super funny and a joy to read. I felt completely at ease knowing Wawa was in such dedicated, compassionate hands.
Samantha is an excellent sitter. While we were away for more than a week, she sent photos and updates after each visit. Our dog is very comfortable in her care. Samantha is reliable, attentive and goes above & beyond. This was our second booking with her, and we will continue to book her as long as she is available.
Lily has been watching our pups and house sitting for us for the last year and we are so lucky to have her! She takes amazing care of our three pups (a very shy and particular husky, a golden, and a super high energy Dutch shepherd). She manages each pups personality beautifully and all three love her, which is a big deal considering our girl dog is very particular with who she lets care for her! We never have to worry when we go away because we know that the dogs love Lily and she has a ton of experience to manage all of the different breeds and their needs! She also takes amazing care of our home and our fish while she’s here! We can’t recommend Lily highly enough!
Sydney was great. We were very apprehensive about leaving Penny alone. We were going away and our usual sitter had a last-minute change of plans. She doesn't do well boarding anywhere so we had Sydney stop in to dogsit. She was great with communication and did everything we asked to make our dog feel more comfortable with us not being home. I would 100% have her do this again if we needed. Thank you.
I used Dillan yesterday for my 8 week old golden retriever puppy. I was very hestinant at first as an owner of two other dogs ages 11 & 4 I never used a sitter to help out with my dogs, however Dillan make the process so easy and help ease my nerves about having someone care for my dogs. He answered my messages on a timely manner and even shared pictures and a cute video of my pup Dunkin playing in the yard. I would highly recommend Dillan to care for your pets. He also followed the many rules and expectations that I’ve asked of him I Look forward to using him on a regular basis. Overall 10/10 service.

- the care instructions the sitter should follow;
- which parts of your pet’s usual routine should be prioritized;
- how often you would like to receive messages, photos, or other updates.
Not every sitter offers the same services, availability, or booking options. Review their profile and discuss the care you need through Rover before booking each service.
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 Amityville 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 casual meeting to vet potential sitters and communicate care needs for peace of mind before a booking begins. Only sitters who have never booked with you before can schedule a Meet & Greet on Rover; however, you are welcome to coordinate one in Rover messages with sitters you have previously booked. This can be helpful if you have a new pet or routine you want to go over with your sitter.
Meet & Greets can take place in person or virtually. If you are booking with a sitter for the first time, we recommend in-person Meet & Greets to get a clearer sense of how your sitter interacts with your pet 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. Meet & Greets are a great way to prepare your pet and sitter for longer stays or first-time bookings. Read our tips for your first Meet & Greet .
