About: My family and I all love animals, so we applied to be pet's sitters at home care. We have a independent house with a yard, and there will always be someone at home 24 hours a day. The pets can move freely at home without too many restrictions. We have regularly clean to the house to ensure the clean and hygiene environment for all pets. I have over a year of experience in taking care of cats and over six years of experience in taking care of dogs. The longest time I took care of a cat was for two months. At the beginning, the cat would hide under the sofa for a week, but lately he became completely unrestrained and would lie on the bed together, play hide-and-seek with me, and explore every corner of the house. When the weather was good, the dogs could play freely in the yard. Welcome all cats and dogsto my home, we are the best friends of your pets! We can keep daily routine for all pet's. I am working part-time on weekends and I will come back at 4PM , but my family members are off on weekends. And my family members and I take care of all pets together. We have a independent house with a yard, and there will always be someone at home 24 hours a day. The pets can move freely at home without too many restrictions. We have regularly cleaning to the house to ensure the clean and hygiene environment for all pets. When the weather was good, the dogs could play freely in the yard.

Susan is wonderful. We needed a last minute drop-in visit due to a work schedule change and Susan came to our rescue. Susan was professional and prompt in her responses. We received a full and timely update on Rico. We highly recommend her and would book again if she is available. Thank you Susan!

Stephanie is awesome. She does recurring drop-in visits with our dog, Rudy, and she’s knowledgeable, kind, and attentive. She plays with him in the backyard, and when he wants to come inside, she spends the rest of the session working with him on tricks and commands. I really appreciate this because some sitters treat drop-in visits more casually and would probably just sit down for the remainder of the scheduled time. Stephanie also has a ton of experience with temperamental dogs. I was very impressed with her knowledge during our meet and greet, and it’s comforting to know Rudy is in such good hands. I would 100% recommend her.

About: Hi! I’m an animal lover who would love to spend time and play with your pet! I am willing to drop in more than once a day and stay for long periods of time. I am a very caring and reliable pet sitter. I’m good with taking care of dogs and cats. I’ve been caring for animals for a couple of years now and couldn’t be happier doing it. I always have a car available to me. I will take your pet anywhere they’d like to go whether it’s the park the beach or just a walk around the neighborhood and more! I will make sure to do everything you request and will make your animal feel comfortable and happy while you’re away. I love meeting and caring for new animals! I’m an esthetician, so pet care fits perfectly around my work schedule. I stop by before and after my shifts to give pets love, walks, and attention they need. I care for pets just like they’re my own, sticking to their schedule, keeping things tidy, and giving lots of attention and cuddles. make walks fun and safe, always matching the dog’s pace and giving fresh water, praise, and care. Also will take so many pictures and send them to you.

About: I've been caring for animals for years and have hands-on experience with both dogs and cats. I currently care for my own high-energy Shepherd mix, so I'm comfortable handling large, energetic dogs and understand the importance of patience, consistency, and reading body language. I've also cared for multiple cats while their owners were away, making sure they were fed, had fresh water, clean litter boxes, plenty of attention (or space, depending on their personality), and that their owners received regular updates for peace of mind. In addition to everyday pet care, I have experience caring for dogs with medical needs. My current dog is undergoing heartworm treatment, which has taught me how important it is to follow medication schedules, activity restrictions, and provide calm, attentive care. I also helped care for my childhood dog throughout kidney disease. Whether your pet is playful, shy, young, senior, or needs a little extra patience, I'll treat them like one of my own and make sure they feel safe, comfortable, and loved while you're away. Pet care is already a big part of my daily routine. I have a dog of my own, so I'm used to early mornings, frequent potty breaks, walks, playtime, and sticking to a schedule. I work part-time, which gives me flexibility for drop-in visits, walks, and pet sitting. I'll always make sure your pet gets the attention, exercise, and care they deserve. I care for every pet as if they were my own. I always follow each owner's instructions carefully, including feeding schedules, medications, crate routines, and exercise needs. I have experience caring for both dogs and cats, including pets with medical needs, so I'm comfortable paying close attention to behavior and making sure they stay safe, happy, and comfortable. I'll also keep you updated with plenty of photos and messages so you know your pet is in good hands.

We are incredibly grateful to Karen for taking such wonderful care of our two dogs during our vacation through drop-in visits at the house. This enabled them to stay where they were comfortable and not be boarded. Karen was both professional and friendly, making us feel completely at ease while we were away. She was in contact with photos and summaries of visits which gave us peace of mind. She fed them, let them out, and engaged them in play. It was clear that she genuinely cared about our dogs, and they loved her. We will certainly be booking her services again in the future. Thank you, Karen, for your outstanding care!

About: Hi! My name is Rachel. I’m a passionate and reliable dog lover with a genuine love for all breeds, big and small. I have been taking care of my family dog for the past 15 years, along with friends and families dogs when they aren’t around. My goal is for you and your fur baby to feel at ease and comfortable while being apart. You will be receiving picture updates from me each day! I look forward to meeting you and your furry baby!! If I am watching your dog, it is because I am home and available to spend time with them. I can adjust to whatever their routine is. If I am watching your dog, it will be your dog only! I will not be having other dogs in my home or walking other dogs at the same time as yours. I can walk your dog as long as you want me too. If your dog is staying with me, they can happily snuggle and sleep with me!

About: My name is Gabbi and I’m located in the Bellmore Merrick area, but I’m willing to drive around up to 10 miles. I'm a passionate animal lover with years of experience caring for pets of all kinds. I care for dogs and cats, and have owned Miniature Pinschers my whole life and a cat I adopted August of 2025. I provide attentive, personalized care to ensure your animals are happy and safe while you're away. I offer dog walking, playtime, feeding, and socialization. I’ve volunteered at cat and dog rescues and adoption events in Levittown for two summers as well. Your pet will be in loving hands! I’m working part time, so I have lots of time to care for your pets. I’m primarily available after 2pm, but my schedule is adjustable so definitely contact me. I’m big on open communication with owners. I can pet sit at your home, but I cannot board as I live with my family at home and have another dog. I go on walks very often throughout the day as well.

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.

Leaving your pets behind can be stressful, but with Suzanne, I have complete peace of mind. She looks after my two dogs with the exact same love, patience, and attention to detail that I do. She keeps me updated, manages their routines effortlessly, and my pups absolutely adore her—their tails start wagging the second they see her! If you are looking for someone reliable, trustworthy, and genuinely passionate about animals, look no further. I couldn't recommend her more highly!

My family and I are so grateful to have connected with Lauren! Having just moved and not knowing anybody in the area to look after our dogs, I was nervous about finding someone to help us out while we were away for a long weekend at the beach. My dogs took to Lauren immediately! She is extremely nice, down to Earth, responsive and reliable. I felt extremely comfortable with her in our home. She sent photos and updates of the pups during her visits as well. Highly recommend and am excited to book her again in the near future!

Stephanie was truly incredible. I had a last-minute, very emotional change of circumstances: we had to put my dog Pugs to sleep the day before I left for a trip, and my other dog, Little, was suddenly alone for the first time after 15 years with his brother. I was worried about how confused and unsettled Little would be, but Stephanie stepped in immediately and adapted so naturally. She took amazing care of Little: feeding him, keeping him comfortable, and giving him the attention and reassurance he needed while I was away. She also kept me informed throughout the weekend, which gave me real peace of mind. When I came home, Little was in great spirits and full of energy, and my place was immaculate - honestly even better than when I left it. Stephanie went above and beyond in every way, and I’m genuinely grateful for the care she showed. I would recommend Stephanie to anyone without hesitation. She exceeded my expectations, and I absolutely plan to book her again.

The daily check-ins and pictures provided by Christy were much appreciated and helped soothe my nerves. I would definitely book Christy again in a heartbeat, and I will definitely refer her to others I know who need sitters for their fur babies!

Frequently asked questions about Rover

The average cost for Pet Sitting in Bellmore on Rover is $25.53 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 24,841 sitters on Rover offering Pet Sitting across Bellmore. 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 Bellmore 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 Bellmore. 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 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.
