“Thank you Stephanie for taking such great care of my dogs!! Stephanie is so kind and has great intuition when it comes to taking care of animals, and after just a couple of visits my dogs grew to love her so much. She is very communicative and follows instructions so well, and understands dogs so well that if anything unexpected comes up outside of the given instructions I have 100% trust in her to take appropriate action. Thank you Stephanie!!”

About: I have 20+ years of experience taking care of dogs from puppies to seniors. I had four dogs of my own growing up which I took a hands on role in caring for and playing with. I currently have 2 dogs whom I love! I have looked after dogs for both friends and family. I am reliable, trustworthy, playful and will look after your fur babies as if they were my own. I'm currently working part time, so I have plenty of time to care for and play with your pups & cats. I am able to make myself available on weekdays and weekends. I offer drop in visits for both dogs and/or cats, dog walking and overnight stays at the client's home when needed. I have experience with puppies & kittens up to seniors. I have had both dogs and cats of my own. I love animals and it would be a privilege to care for your dogs and cats.

About: I absolutely Live for animals. Since I was small I knew working with animals was my passion. They bring me an extreme amount of joy and love and I promise to love and treasure your pup like it is my own. Many think of their dogs as "just dogs", I believe there is something deeper and far more special between a relationship with a person and their pet. My dogs are my family and I adore them. I have had dogs growing up my entire life, and when I was old enough to live on my own I started to rescue and foster senior and disabled dogs. I currently have a blind Pekingese who I rescued a day before euthanasia who is the love of my life, and a one eyed terrier who I rescued after being hit by car. I deny No pet, and usually I am the go to person when friends or family need a dog sitter if they are going out of town. I have worked with Both the ASPCA and Dogs without Borders in Hollywood, CA. If your pet stays with me it will be treated like my own, if I do stop in visits for walks they will enjoy time at the park and being outside. I have experience with deaf dogs, blind, and 3 legged dogs. Dogs who have been on 3x a day medicine, overly friendly dogs and the scared, timid dogs.

About: I’ve taken care of various breeds of dogs over the past 11 years — including my own, other family members’, as well as friends’ and acquaintances’ — whether it’s for a walk around the neighborhood or spending some quality time while the family’s away Being a teacher, my week availability doesn’t really start till 3:30 (unless there’s a break). However, my weekends are more open, so I have more availability to stop by and visit with your pups! While visiting with your pet, I will keep an eye on them during walks and potty breaks, making sure they are secure on their leash and in their yard.

About: I have taken care of dogs for family and friends since my late twenties. I have experience with puppies as well as senior dogs. For many years I lived and cared for a paralyzed pug who never let his special needs stop him from living a happy life. He used a wheelchair, went on long stroller walks, participated in dog walks and events, took both oral and injected medications regularly and had to have his bladder expressed. Each new health issue was just another learning experience. I have since been certified in pet first aid and never shy away from caring for a pet with special health needs. I am currently working full time and can provide pet boarding only on weekends since I’m not home during the weekday until the evening. Dog Walking and drop-ins I am available weekends as well and evenings M-F I have a large 2 bedroom apartment with no pets of my own right now so your pets will get lots of attention and can relax freely.. I don’t have a yard but can easily walk your dog around my quiet neighborhood where there are plenty of parks and dog parks we can go to for exercise. I love going on walks and being outside so if your pet is up for it there is plenty of opportunity for exercise and exploring.

Our one dog doesn’t really like people but loved her and curled up in her lap (which melted our heart!). 100000000/10! We’re so grateful to her and will definitely be booking again.”

About: Hi I’m Debbie, I’m a lifelong Dog lover and a mom to Sophie my 7 year old Havanese. I know how important it is to know that your dog is safe, comfortable and care for when you’re not there. Every dog is different whether they like to have a stroll or a brisk walk I’ll follow your dog’s routine. Cats need attention too. I will stop in and make sure your kitty has everything it needs. Fresh water and food a clean litter box and playtime. You will also get a picture of your furry friend. They are not just pets they’re part of your family. I have a flexible schedule, so I’m able to make time for walks, drop-in visit feedings and giving your pet the attention needed when you’re not available. I enjoy making pet care part of my week by helping busy pet parents feel confident that their pets are being cared for. When caring for pets in their home it best to keep them on their routine. Follow the instructions given to me. Provide the attention and affection your pet needs while you’re away. Treat your home with respect. I will keep you updated with photos while you’re away.

Laura took the best care of our cats! She was on time with their visits every morning, and ensured that they received their meds and food. Our cats have a complex feeding routine, and Laura followed it perfectly to keep each of our cats happy. She sent us great photos of all three of our cats, and each once of them looked happy to have her company. We are so happy we have Laura to rely on to take care of our cats when we travel. It puts my mind at ease knowing that she will be the one feeding and caring for them.

Susan came to my house for a meet and greet about 1 week before the first visit. She was cordial and pleasant. I explained everything to her regarding feeding instructions, the litter box and most importantly the administration of meds to Belle who has a history of seizures. She was able to administer the med to Belles ear flap successfully. She came during the hours specified and always sent me a message with a pic. I feel very comfortable with her as I can see she is very capable. I would recommend Susan K. To any cat owner.

FAQs for Pet Sitting - Bellmore

Frequently asked questions about Rover

The average cost of Pet Sitting in Bellmore is $26 per visit as of November 2026. Most bookings cost between $17 and $36 per visit. On Rover, 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 November 2026, there are 25,205 sitters on Rover offering Pet Sitting across Bellmore. 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 Bellmore. On Rover:

  • 83% of sitters can help with special care needs
  • 87% 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 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.
