About: I have lifelong experience caring for animals, especially dogs. I've had dogs my entire life, including growing up with a 140-pound Pit Bull, later caring for a Staffordshire/Pit Bull mix, and now having a Pomeranian. I've also dog-sat for many families with dogs of all different sizes, ages, and personalities. I have experience with cats as well through my best friend, who has six cats and a dog. Beyond dogs and cats, I volunteer with GallopNYC, which provides therapeutic horseback riding for people with disabilities, and I also volunteer at a horse stable. These experiences have taught me to be patient, attentive, and responsible when caring for animals. I'm also very comfortable caring for homes. I understand the importance of keeping a home clean, secure, and respected while someone is away. Since I work from home, I'm able to spend a lot of time at the house, keep up with pets' routines, and make sure everything is well looked after throughout the stay. I have a flexible schedule and work from home, so I’m able to spend a lot of time with the animals throughout the day. I can be around for regular feedings, walks, playtime, and any other care they need, rather than leaving them alone for long periods. I’m also able to adjust my schedule around their routine and make sure they get plenty of attention and care while I’m there.

About: Hi! We’re so excited to meet you and your furry friends! Although this profile is under my name, my boyfriend Billy and I will be working together, which gives us more flexibility and availability to provide your pup with the attention and care they deserve. We’re both huge dog lovers and have plenty of experience caring for dogs. We have our own dog, Hudson, a big, lovable Anatolian Shepherd who is truly part of the family. Billy has had dogs his entire life and has experience with dogs of all ages and sizes, including potty training and caring for puppies. We understand that every dog has their own personality, routine, and needs, and we’re happy to work with you to make sure your pup feels comfortable, safe, and loved while they’re in our care. I work at a school, so I’m typically available after 3:30 PM on weekdays. Billy works from home a few days a week, which gives him flexibility to help with quick walks and check-ins during the day. We’re both available most evenings and on weekends, giving us plenty of flexibility to fit your pup’s care into our schedule! We provide dog walks, drop-in visits, and in-home sitting, always focusing on making your pet feel safe, comfortable, and cared for. We have plenty of hands-on experience from caring for our own dog, Hudson, and understand the importance of keeping pets on their usual routines. We also know the local area well and enjoy finding safe, enjoyable walking routes for every pup.

About: We have had many dogs throughout our life. Right now we currently have 2 small Havanese dogs - Daisy and Luna. We have two children, 15 and 13, and both dogs get along with all children and other dogs as well. We will take care of your dogs as though they are one of our own! We do take on more than one dog at a time. We have a fully fenced in yard where they love to run around and play. We live in a great neighborhood where we can go on long walks. We have two size crates should your dog require one. We look forward to spending time with your pet/s! I currently work full time as a teacher but am home by 2:30 and am able to come home during lunch breaks to let dogs out and walk them. And my husband works from home - so they always have company! My two dogs love other dogs so they will always have someone to play with.

About: Hello! My name is Julissa. I have so much love for all pets and animals. Growing up, i’ve always had a dog in the house, and they were always such an important member of our family. It’s been about five years since I’ve had a dog of my own. My last dog’s name was Sasha. We adopted her when she was six and had her until she was about thirteen. She was so smart, loving, and anxious when we first got her so our first few years together were spent establishing trust. Eventually we managed to off-leash train and we worked a lot on her recall so that we could enjoy longer walks and outdoor activities while ensuring that she always felt safe in her environment. At home we set her bed up in the kitchen, where we would pass our time cooking and spending a lot of quality time together. I had so many good years with my Sasha, and since she passed I have genuinely missed spending time with animals on a consistent basis. Since then, most if not all of my friends and family have entrusted me with taking care of their animals when they are busy or traveling, so I’ve had a lot of experience with many different pets and their varying needs/personalities. I work freelance as an artist. I am a musician, so I often stay at home practicing or composing. However most of my work is in the film industry, and this work ranges from smaller independent projects to network television. Although I do work on set sometimes, I try to take on as many post-production gigs as possible, so I often find myself sitting behind a desk all day. I have always made it a priority to work in a field that I am passionate about, and my decision to work with Rover has been no different. Caring for animals is not only something I am passionate about, but also a wonderful opportunity to go on walks and spend quality time with pets. I will always be very clear about any changes in my work schedule if those are to arise, but my reliability and dedication never wavers I have a fenced in yard and plenty of spaces in the house for your pet to wander and feel comfortable. I am also very trust worthy, organized, communicative, and extremely eager to work with you!

“Karlos was awesome with our 5 kitties and dropped by before we left for vacay so that we could show him the rundown of where everything was. He was flexible and accommodating of our feeding and litter box times and asked questions whenever he was unsure. He provided us with details and photos of my furbabies during each visit. One of my girls has IBS and he would send us pictures of her food dish to make sure she was getting her RX food. Another one of my girls tends to sometimes pee outside of the litter box and Karlos would inform us if she did and mop up the urine. And to top it all off, he was patient and caring towards my kitties (which means a great deal in a world where an animals life isn't considered as precious as a humans).”

About: Pet care experience Hi there! While I may not have a dog of my own, I've had the joy of caring for a dear French bulldog annually for almost two weeks each year. I adore playing with my sister's dogs and live in a cozy home filled with the laughter of my three dog-loving kids. I'm always available to walk, cuddle, and shower your furry friend with love and attention. Your fur baby will be in excellent hands with me! I'll treat them with the same love, care, and attention that I've given to countless other dogs. Their happiness and well-being are my top priorities. Let me be your dog's caregiver, and they'll receive all the cuddles, playtime, and care they need. Looking forward to meeting you and your four-legged family member! 🐶💕 Welcome! Our family consists of myself, my husband, and our three wonderful kids. Though I never had a dog, my love for animals is evident through my adorable rabbit named Kruger. Nestled in a house with a spacious yard on a tranquil street, I offer a peaceful environment for your furry friend. I work from home on Fridays and have weekends off. I'm back home by 3 PM every day, ensuring your pet is surrounded by care and attention. Living on a serene and quiet street with minimal traffic, I provide an ideal haven for your beloved dog. My spacious yard offers ample room for them to play, explore, and stretch their legs. With a peaceful environment and plenty of outdoor space, your pup will receive the utmost care, attention, and room to roam freely in a secure and comforting setting. I can easily crate your dog if needed (and provided)

About: Every pet deserves to feel safe, loved, and genuinely cared for—even when you’re away. That’s exactly the kind of care I provide. As a lifelong animal lover, I understand that pets are family. I share my home with my sweet 6-year-old Cavapoo and my gentle 10-year-old Scottish Fold cat, so I know firsthand how important it is to trust the person caring for your furry family members. Before joining Rover, I worked at Dogtopia, where I cared for groups of up to 20 dogs at a time. That experience taught me how to understand different personalities, recognize body language, manage dogs of all sizes and energy levels, and ensure every pup feels safe, comfortable, and happy. When I was younger, I babysat and walked dogs for relatives and neighbors. I also know that leaving your pet can be stressful for you, too. That’s why I make communication a priority. You’ll receive regular photo updates, videos, and text messages so you can see your pet enjoying their day and have peace of mind knowing they’re in loving hands. When I care for your pet, my goal is simple: I want them to feel as comfortable, happy, and loved as they do when they’re with you. I can’t wait to meet you and your four-legged family member and become someone you can count on whenever you need an extra helping hand. I am currently on summer break from college. From September 2026, I will be available to work at any time on Monday, Wednesday, Friday afternoon/evenings and Saturday and Sunday. Whether your dog loves long walks, playtime, belly rubs, or simply quiet companionship, I’ll tailor every visit to their unique personality and routine. I believe every pet deserves individual attention, patience, and lots of affection. That is how I am with my dog Flash and my beautiful cat, Princess Leia. Honestly, no request is too much, my dog and cat both are very particular in their ways.

First and foremost, thank you both so much for your incredible service! Nasimul and Dominique were professional, caring, and highly responsive from start to finish. They followed all of my instructions perfectly, which gave me complete peace of mind and made me feel so secure while I was away. They are incredibly trustworthy! My cat is usually very shy and keeps to himself, but he wasn't shy with them at all. They made him feel so safe and comfortable that he was able to just be his usual happy self during their visits. THANK YOU! I will absolutely be a returning client.

I found Michelle on short notice when the weather was predicting thunder all day, and Ishby can be alone for a few hours but is scared of thunder. Michelle was easy to communicate with, understanding and trying to make things work for me as best she could even as the weather forecast was changing. When she came for the meet n greet, it was clear she has a way with dogs and Ishby got used to her quickly. She was in touch throughout the visit, took lots of pictures, fed Ishby as I asked her to, and I felt like my baby was in good hands. Grateful for Michelle's help!

Nicole was an absolute angel with Lale during a very stressful time for me. From day one, I could see how kind, caring, and genuinely loving she is with animals. Honestly, the best review comes from Lale herself — she would practically hop with excitement whenever she saw Nicole! Watching her little tail wag and seeing how happy she was made my heart so happy. Lale felt completely safe, loved, and spoiled in the best possible way. Knowing Nicole was with her gave me such comfort and peace of mind. She cared for Lale with so much affection and attention, as if she were her own. I’m beyond grateful for everything Nicole did for my sweet girl. Anyone would be lucky to have Nicole care for their pet — and their pet will probably fall in love with her just as much as Lale did! ❣️🐾💕

Frequently asked questions about Rover

The average cost of Pet Sitting in Bellerose on Rover is $36 per visit as of October 2026. Most bookings cost between $22 and $53 per visit. sitters set their own rates based on factors such as their experience, the length of care, the number of pets, and your pet’s specific needs. As long as your booking dates and pet profiles are accurate, the price shown before you confirm is the total, including any booking fee.

As of October 2026, there are 27,083 sitters on Rover offering Pet Sitting across Bellerose. Enter your ZIP code to see which available sitters are closest to your home.

You and your sitter can agree on a care schedule that fits your pet’s routine and the sitter’s availability. Pet Sitting can be booked as a one-time or recurring drop-in visit. If you need overnight care or dog walks, you may also be able to book House Sitting or Dog Walking through Rover with the same sitter, provided they offer those services.

Before booking, confirm:

  • the timing, length, and frequency of visits;
  • 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.

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 Bellerose. On Rover:

  • 87% of sitters can help with special care needs
  • 92% can help with giving oral medications or injections
  • 95% 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 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 .

sitters on Rover set their own cancellation policy , which you can find on their profile under their contact information. Sitters may set a same-day, one-, three-, or seven-day cancellation policy. Cancelling within your sitter’s cancellation policy qualifies you for a full refund.

Same-day cancellations for recurring services, which include walks, drop-ins, and day care, follow the full refund policy. Otherwise, for pet boarding and house sitting, if you cancel after 12 pm on the applicable cancellation deadline, you’ll receive a 50% refund for the first seven days of the booking and a 100% refund for any remaining days.

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