About: I have hands on experience training my two dogs Cora and Cooper both in obedience and in agility. This has allowed me to understand the importance of positive reinforcement and how to cater to individual dogs needs. In addition, I have professional dog sitting experience in a neighbors home, where I cared for and took them out for walks. This role has taught me how to approach and work with rescue dogs and adapt my care to different temperaments. I am attentive, patient and committed to providing excellent care and a safe environment for all pets. I currently work part time which allows flexibility to provide pet care in the evenings and on the weekends. I am open to overnight stays during the week and weekend as well if needed. I am committed to ensuring that your pets receive reliable care, attention and companionship while you are away. I ensure that my dogs are fed and taken care of. I also love to take them out for walks and on car rides! As a dog owner I understand the importance of safety, maintaining routines, regular exercise and lots of attention. I will care for your pets as if they were my own, taking the time to learn their individual needs, personalities, and routines. My goal is to create a safe, trustworthy, and positive environment where both pets and their owners can feel confident and at ease.
About: I have 7+ years in a professional setting working with dogs, cats, rabbits, birds, rodents, and reptiles as well as lifelong experience caring for dogs and cats. I am CPR/first aid certified for dogs and cats and have in depth knowledge on behaviour, medicating, and providing the best quality care for your pet. I am comfortable with all breeds, sizes and temperaments of all animals. If there’s anything else you would like to know about me or my experience I’m happy to answer any questions! I’m currently in school full time and I am looking to take my expertise and passion in animal care to help fund my education. I’m available weekdays and weekends for in home stays, walking, and daily care/play time. I have years of professional experience caring for animals in shelters, boarding facilities, and right in the comfort of their own homes! When you are away, I strictly follow your pet's normal routine—including structured feeding, fresh water, playtime, daily walks, and litter cleaning. Most importantly, I treat your pets like my own, making sure they receive all the love, patience, and attention they deserve. Please feel free to ask me about my experience in the pet care industry, I am more than happy to share!
About: I’m a skilled pet sitter always ready to go above and beyond. I understand that every pet is unique and requires special care, so I make sure to pay extra attention to each one’s needs. I mostly work from home, and I always have someone knowledgeable ready to help if I need to step away to keep things running smoothly. We have a quiet and friendly environment with gated areas and parks available. Each pet can have a chance to interact, play, or simply relax.
About: I’ve had dogs for 20+ years, while I lived with my parents we fostered Australian shepherds and in 2015 I adopted one of our fosters. Her name is Olive. As well I have a cat and his name is Korin. I love having animals at home with our kids. I’m currently on maternity leave so my schedule is quite flexible. My son starts school from 8-12 so anything outside drop off and pick up times are the best for me and the baby I have a lovely fenced in yard for my girl, I love playing with our animals and lots of snuggles are always had in our home.
About: I’ve had pets since I was a child! I strive to provide nothing but the best love and care that I possibly can to all the fur babies out there. They are an extension of us, and our families. You want to trust the person you’re handing your kids off to for the day, and I hope I can gain that trust. I’m observant, and take animal care very seriously. I put my animal’s needs above my own, and I’d do the same for you and yours :) I have a flexible schedule that I am more than willing to work with you on. Whatever fits you and your pet’s needs the best! I am typically occupied between the hours of 11am and 5pm but can take home days as I please. Some evenings and weekends may be occupied, but are manageable with advance notice! I currently have a high energy Coonhound Lab mix. She gets walked at least 3 times a day for a minimum of 15-20 minutes, and upwards of 2 hours (at least once a day or every other day). She eats when her humans are home or she’s burned a bunch of energy. She is so loved, and loves to cuddle with us. She gets to roam out in the backyard as she pleases, and grazes the grass like a little bovine! Your pet will be treated no less than the best. I’m happy to cater to their specific needs in whatever ways I can possibly muster! Food, exercise, treats, regiment, etc I want make the best of our time together!
About: I’ve been caring for my beloved Cockapoo for over three years. Together, we’ve traveled the world — from Turkey to China, Canada, and the U.S. These experiences have taught me how to keep pets calm and happy in new environments. I’m attentive, patient, and always focused on each pet’s comfort and unique personality. Whether it’s a playful pup or a shy senior, I’ll care for them like they’re family. Pet care is a natural part of my everyday life. I start each morning with a walk and playtime, and I always make time throughout the day for feeding, bathroom breaks, and cuddles. On weekends, I often explore pet-friendly parks and trails. Since I already care for my own dog daily, integrating another pet into my routine feels seamless and joyful. I genuinely enjoy the companionship and make sure each pet gets the attention and activity they need to feel happy and secure. I always prioritize safety, comfort, and trust when caring for pets. Whether in my home or a client’s home, I make sure the environment is clean, secure, and calm. I keep dangerous objects out of reach, monitor doors and gates carefully, and follow the pet’s daily routine as closely as possible. I take time to build trust by approaching animals gently and respectfully, and I always provide lots of love, attention, and care to make them feel at ease — like they’re right at home.
“Harsimran was an amazing cat sitter! It was clear how much she genuinely loved and cared for my cats. She was attentive, caring, and very reliable, and her communication was excellent throughout. I would absolutely recommend her to anyone looking for someone they can trust with their pets!”
About: I’ve always loved being around animals! While volunteering at Pawcare Adoption Shelter, I had the opportunity to care for around 20 dogs and cats every day. It taught me so much about understanding their needs, keeping them comfortable, and making sure they feel loved. I would love to give your furry friend the same care and attention! What You Can Expect: * A safe, comfortable, and loving environment. * Plenty of playtime, cuddles, and attention. * Regular photo and video updates. * Care tailored to your pet’s personality and needs. I’m also available for regular drop-in visits and monthly daycare. Let’s Meet Your Furry Friend!

Please feel free to reach out to me to discuss specific time slots or any special requirements you may have. I am dedicated to providing the best care possible for your pet, and I'm always willing to work around your schedule to ensure your pet feels comfortable and loved. Let's create a paw-some experience together! With seven adorable cats and a loyal dog by my side, and a heart full of care, I've nurtured stray and injured dogs into loving companions. Putting their needs first, I serve healthy meals, fresh water, and shower them with love, creating a warm and lasting bond with each furry soul.

Frequently asked questions about Rover
Many sitters respond to requests in under an hour. Whether you are planning ahead for public holidays, need last-minute care, or same-day coverage for an urgent trip, you can message multiple sitters at once.
Once you find the right match, you can arrange a Meet & Greet to ensure they are a perfect fit for your pet’s personality before confirming.
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.
You can coordinate how much supervision you want directly with your sitter. While every sitter’s schedule varies, here are some examples of supervision by pet care service:
- Boarding or doggy day care: Many sitters can provide frequent companionship because they design their day specifically around the pets in their care or work from home.
- House sitting: Your sitter generally stays in your home for the requested duration, which may include overnight care. They may step out briefly to visit other pet clients, but your home remains their primary base.
- Drop-in visits or dog walking: These can be scheduled in 30- or 60-minute windows (and can be shorter or longer at your request) to help your pet receive dedicated attention and care during those specific times.
Interested in constant or 24/7 care? This service often incurs an additional fee but many sitters are happy to discuss this option with you.
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 Uniondale 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 do not have any disqualifying offences.
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.
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.
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.
Payment is handled securely through Rover. For a one-time booking, your payment method is charged at the time of checkout when you submit your booking request. This charge will include fees payable to Rover. Your booking is confirmed once the sitter accepts it.
If the request is not accepted, the pending charge is released in 1-7 days. How long it takes to disappear from your account depends on your payment provider.
For eligible recurring weekly services, you are charged for the first week when you book and then each Monday for the upcoming week. You’ll see the full price before you confirm. Always pay through Rover so your booking remains eligible for the Rover Guarantee and support.
Yes, you can find sitters who have experience administering medication or managing dietary requirements. You can also find pet sitters who accept only one pet at a time, which is ideal for anxious puppies 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 request a Meet & Greet to walk your sitter through your expectations.
