“Kelly is absolutely AMAZING! ❤️ I honestly cannot say enough wonderful things about her! Not only did she take incredible care of my two senior girls, an a 5 year old, but she also cared for my sweet Jimmy, who has two very serious medical conditions: megaesophagus and laryngeal paralysis. Jimmy requires a LOT of special care. He has to eat sitting upright in a special chair, can't drink water from a bowl on the floor, and can't run around outside like his sisters. Kelly handled ALL of it beautifully! She walked Jimmy on a leash, made sure he was fed exactly the way he needed to be, and gave him all his medications. And on top of that, she made sure my three girls were well cared for and received their medications, too! Anyone who knows Jimmy knows how much attention and care he requires, so trusting someone else with him is a BIG deal for us. Kelly gave me something priceless: peace of mind knowing all four of my babies were in wonderful hands. I truly cannot express how grateful I am. Kelly, thank you from the bottom of my heart for taking such amazing care of my babies! You're a blessing, and I would recommend you a thousand times over! ❤️🐾 See you again in November!!!!”
About: I have taken care of animals of different ages and sizes over the course of my pet sitting career. I pride myself in individualized care for the different animals and taking the time to interact and get to know the animals in my care! While I do work a full time job, I have flexibility with my start and end times with my work and can leave on lunch to check in with your animals. I am sure to set aside time to take animals on walks and take lots of time to play! I currently do not have any pets in my home, so the pets in my care would get very individualized care if they stay with me. When I house and pet sit, I am also sure to maintain cleanliness within the home!
About: I grew up with 2 cats and 2 dogs. I have since adopted 3 cats and 2 dogs of my own! Providing love and care for fur babies is my top priority! I work full time as a teacher, but am available for afternoon and evening walks and visits during the week. On weekend I have open availability! I have a fenced yard for my 2 dogs to run and play safely. My cats lives a lavish life with their 4 tiered cat tree. Our dogs and cats have a special diet of the best natural ingredients for their individual health needs.
“Cassie does a great job taking care of our "old lady"! Our cat is so much more like herself since Cassie started sitting with her when we are away instead of drop-in visits. She is also a great communicator.”
“We found ourselves in need of house sitting for our 3 young dogs at the last minute and reached out to Sarabeth. She responded very quickly and set up meet and greet the same day. She kept in touch with us daily on how our pups were doing with photos and updates. We left very specific care instructions which she followed to a “T”. When we arrived home our dogs were calm, well behaved and happy! This is our first time using in house pet sitting and Sarabeth made it a stress free and great experience for all of us. We will definitely use her services again and highly recommended her.”
“Darian was absolutely amazing with our puppies! She took good care of them, was super responsive and even went above and beyond to pick up one of them from the vet while recovering from a sickness. I already have her booked for more time with her and so very thankful to have her!”
About: My family dogs name is chai she’s a sweet shitzu Pomeranian & I’ve loved taking care of her from time to time over the years I am currently unemployed so I am available at anytime to care for your furry friends. I am flexible with whatever time works best for you. I am happy to feed, walk, bathe & dry animals and am comfortable following any necessary routines. Am also okay with giving animals any necessary medicine that they are on at appropriate times.
“Elyssa is awesome! Her background and experience was what caught our attention, but she really was wonderful while she stayed at our house with our pup. She went above and beyond to keep the house in order and keep our little one happy. We will definitely use her again and encourage others to do the same.”
“My partner and I are first-time dog owners, and Tavin was our first dog sitter booked through this app, so naturally we were a little nervous. However, Tavin was communicative, easygoing, and attentive to our pup’s needs right from the start. He stayed overnight with our dog, sent us pictures and updates, responded promptly, and left the house just as clean as he found it. We will definitely be booking Tavin again and highly recommend him to anyone considering his services!”
About: I’ve loved dogs for as long as I can remember! I’m the proud dog mama of a 4 year old bichon frise named Jolene, and I trained her myself starting when I got her at 7 weeks old. I have experience with puppies and senior dogs and am comfortable giving medication if needed. As a full time teacher, I am available full time during the summer and on school breaks. I am also available on weekends and after 4:30 pm year round. Making your dog feel loved and safe is my top priority. I want them to feel comfortable with me being in their home, and I will do what I can to make that transition easy for them. I crate trained my dog early, and I know how important safe spaces are for dogs.
About: I grew up surrounded by animals. Horses, cows, sheep, goats, you name it! I’ve also had dogs my entire life and honestly can’t imagine life without them. I’m currently the proud dog mom of Stevie, my 7-year-old Boston Terrier, who has never met a stranger and is convinced everyone is her best friend. I know firsthand how much trust goes into leaving your pets with someone else. They’re family, and I want you to feel completely comfortable knowing they’re loved on and well cared for while you’re away. Whether it’s walks, playtime, belly rubs, or just keeping your pup company, I’m happy to help! I’m also happy to check in on your cats and make sure they’re fed, comfortable, and getting a little attention while you’re gone. I’ve always said I like animals more than people… kidding. Kind of. :) I’d love to meet your pets and see if we’re a good fit! My schedule is pretty flexible right now, which gives me plenty of time to help with walks, drop-ins, and keeping your pets company while you’re away! I’m available throughout the week and on weekends, and I’m happy to work around your pet’s usual routine as much as possible. Whether you need someone regularly or just an extra hand here and there, I’d love to help. I know how particular I am about who I trust with my own dog, so I completely understand wanting to know your pets are in good hands. I’ll always respect your home, follow your instructions, and make sure your pets feel safe and comfortable in their own environment. I’m also happy to send pictures and updates so you can see how they’re doing while you’re away!
“Kristan provided top notch care for our three dogs. She was communicative with us and very easy to work with and the pups loved her. She took great care of them and our home while we were away. It meant so much to know they were in good and caring hands. Thank you Kristan!”
“Mikki was the best! Our pets were well taken care of, our house was cleaner than we left it, and we received communication and updates daily. Absolutely would recommend and will book with again!”
“I can not recommend Kori enough! She house-sat for our (very rambunctious) english bulldog puppy and was very attentive to both our puppy and our house! You can tell she is naturally wonderful with dogs, but she expands upon that with a level of concern and care for them that actually allowed me to my enjoy my trip and minimized my mom-guilt :) I plan to use Kori for all future trips and would recommend her to anyone needing a wonderful companion for their pet!”
About: I have experience with Dogs, cats, ducks, chickens, pigs and horses. I love taking care of all animals! I especially enjoy taking care of dogs because I want a dog one day! I work full time M-F but I work from anywhere and everywhere so travel is no problem for me! I can work sat & sun but I prefer to keep my weekends for personal time! I have two cats currently, I live in a nice wooded area with a big backyard, with easy access to walkable neighborhood and nature trails. I treat all my clients spaces as if they were my own.
“Giovanni was absolutely wonderful! I'm so grateful to have found him! He was quick to respond and we thoroughly enjoyed getting to know him in our meet & greet. We got wonderful updates while away that reassured us our beloved geriatric pup was in great hands. He took care of her complicated med schedule without any hitches. He even had to put up with a water heater problem at the house, and rolled with it, which I was so grateful for. I highly recommend Giovanni & look forward to using him again!”
“Madeline was amazing! She updated us as needed and sent pictures of our puppy living her best life. She went above and beyond and we will call her again next time. You can feel confident in choosing her to care for your dog.”

FAQs for House Sitting - Bethpage
Frequently asked questions about Rover
As of November 2026, there are 663 sitters on Rover offering House Sitting across Bethpage. Enter your ZIP code to see which available sitters are closest to your home.
Beyond belly rubs and feeding schedules, a house sitter’s presence may provide an additional layer of security for your home. However, you will need to arrange overnight stays and other household tasks with your sitter when reaching out to them. Not all sitters offer the same services. Common household tasks you can negotiate include:
- Mail & deliveries: Collecting letters and packages so they don't pile up.
- Plant care: Keeping your indoor or outdoor garden hydrated.
- Trash & recycling: Taking trash cans to the curb on scheduled pickup days.
- Home security: Sitters can stay overnight to keep your home occupied.
The best way to align on expectations is during your free Meet & Greet. Use this time to provide a "home cheat sheet" that includes your preferred Bethpage walking routes, the location of your favorite pet store, and any specific quirks about your home’s security or appliances.
It’s helpful to think of house sitting as a "home base" service. Most sitters in Bethpage maintain their normal daily routines, like running errands or heading to the office, meaning your pet should be comfortable being alone for a few hours at a time. If your pet needs a little extra company, here is how to find the perfect match:
- Look for "WFH" sitters: Many sitters mention "Work from Home" on their profile to indicate they’ll be present for the majority of the day.
- Update your pet’s profile: Write down how long your pet can comfortably be left alone. This helps sitters quickly determine if their schedule aligns with your needs.
- Communicate 24/7 needs: Standard house sitting usually doesn't include constant supervision. If your pet requires round-the-clock care, be sure to discuss this upfront.
Tip: Use the Meet & Greet to confirm a sitter's typical "away" windows. Transparency ensures your pet stays happy and your sitter can plan their day effectively!
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 Bethpage 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!
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.
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.
If a health concern arises during a stay, your sitter is instructed to contact you and our Trust & Safety team immediately and, if needed, take your pet to the closest veterinarian. Through our Trust & Safety support team, sitters can ask for diagnostic advice from a qualified veterinary professional if your pet is showing signs of possible illness.
For extra peace of mind, you can also prepare an authorization form for your regular vet. An authorization form outlines your preferred method of care and allows your sitter to bring your pet into their regular clinic.
Every qualified booking made on Rover is backed by the Rover Guarantee, which includes reimbursement for eligible emergency vet care.
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.
Yes, you can find sitters who have experience with handling special pet needs in Bethpage. On Rover:
- 91% of sitters can help with special care needs
- 96% can help with giving oral medications or injections
- 97% 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.
