“Caitlyn was very communicative and my cat loved her! I came home to my apartment clean and my cat relaxed. Would absolutely recommend Caitlyn to anyone looking for a sitter!”
“Juan is an amazing person. I am grateful to have him interact with my baby (Rick). He is really good with animals, very understanding, kind, responsible, friendly, and easy going. From the first time he interacted with my dog, I knew all will be well, because my dog was calm. Rick (my dog) is looking forward to future visit. I would highly recommend Juan.”
About: Hi I’m Sivan. I have owned pets ranging from bunnies and fish to dogs. I dog-sit in my hometown and get along with pets very easily. I’m looking forward to caring for your loving pets and sharing my love, as I know I would want someone to do for my own. I am currently working part time and have availability on the weekdays (4pm-12) and weekends, any time. I do attend college and believe I am flexible with my time, as I have a schedule with gaps. I care for my pets by walking and curbing my dog. I feed him, groom him, shower him, play with him, cuddle, and give him lots of love. For my bunny, I clean her litter box every day, feed her, cut her nails, groom her, play with her and give her kisses and cuddles. I would do the same and then some for your furry friends. (:
“Samantha was wonderful. My dogs just took to her, they were comfortable and relaxed. She was attentive to my dogs while house sitting. She was also very communicative, and proactive. She reached out to see if she could give my dog medication due to thunder storms coming. She sent daily photos, reach out if anything didn't seem right with one of my dogs.”
“Michelle was wonderful with my dog callie! Michelle was able to coax Callie out of her shyness and gave her the love and attention that she needs. Michelle was communicative and responsive and regularly sent me pics of my baby. I'd definitely rebook her again?”
“Isis is awesome! She was highly communicative, sent photos periodically, and was flexible when I had a last minute schedule change. My dog felt so comfortable with her and I will definitely book her again!”

“Alex was all that and more with our Moka girl. We got pictures and videos of her while away, which made our time away more bearable. Alex even taught her a few new commands! Will most assuredly recommend Alex, AND will absolutely use his services again! Thanks Alex (and crew)”
“Brigette did an amazing job watching my two dogs while I was away for a few days. We first met in person to assure she and my dogs were a good fit and along the way her communication was excellent. She watched my dogs in my home for 2 days/nights and from all the pictures and updates I could see my dogs were doing well and having a good time as well. Brigette put me at ease while I was away, knowing that my dogs were being taken care of by someone who truly took care of them like they were hers. I highly recommend her for anyone looking for someone for your pet care needs.”
About: I grew up with dogs and have cared for breeds of all sizes. Most recently, I was the primary caregiver to my 2 huskies for the last 6 years, raising them since they were babies, so I am comfortable with crate training, commands, walks, feeding, playtime, cuddles, and daily care. I have also spent time volunteering at animal shelters before so I’m very comfortable around new dogs with different types of energy. I currently work part-time, remotely so my schedule is very flexible. I am dependable for all your pet needs from daily drop-ins to overnight care. I am comfortable and confident in following your instructions for pet care. I have experience with crate training, feeding schedules, daily walks, and commands for dogs of all sizes and ages.
“I cannot recommend Keoma enough- they were such a life saver this past weekend when I had to book a last minute trip because of a family emergency. They were communicative during the entire process and really went above and beyond to care for my very energetic boys. I felt like they were being watched by family. Next time I have a trip, planned or not, I for sure will be contacting Keoma. Thank you again for watching my kids and taking such amazing care of them ❤️”
About: Hi! I’m an orthodontic assistant and part-time college student working toward becoming an orthodontist. I currently am trying to save up money to pay for dental school. I absolutely love animals, especially dogs and cats, and enjoy spending time with them and learning about their specific quirks and personalities. I’ve walked and cared for dogs before, including a friendly Goldendoodle, and I’m committed to making sure every pet feels safe, loved, and well cared for while you’re away. Working with children every day has taught me to be patient, attentive, and dependable qualities I bring when caring for pets, too. Whether your pet needs a walk, playtime, cuddles, or someone to stick to their routine, I’ll treat them with the same care and kindness I would my own. In my free time, I also enjoy baking, and I truly love taking care of others, whether they’re people or pets! Pet care fits naturally into my routine because I’m used to balancing work, school, and responsibilities. I’m available on weekends, have a 7-hour break between (12pm-5pm availability on Tuesday and Thursday) classes on Tuesdays and Thursdays and I’m free in the evenings after 5pm on Fridays. I enjoy spending my free time caring for animals, going on walks, and giving pets the attention and affection they need. I’m reliable, patient, and happy to work with owners to fit their pet’s routine. When caring for pets in their home, I focus on keeping their routine as consistent and comfortable as possible. I follow the owner’s instructions for feeding, walks, medication (if needed), playtime, and any specific preferences their pet has. I make sure pets get plenty of attention, exercise, and affection while also respecting their space and home. My goal is to help pets feel safe and cared for while their owners are away
About: Animal care is my biggest passion! I’ve recently graduated college with a degree in biology, where I often volunteered at shelters to gain experience. I’ve taken care of cats, dogs, fish & even birds for as long as I can remember. I don’t think I’ve ever met a pet that doesn’t like me, so I’m very excited to help those in my community with dedicated care! In a house with 4 cats and 2 dogs I’m constantly caring for pets of all ages! Currently I work part time, so I’m available most hours of the evening during the week and some weekends. Early mornings I could also do. I am ready for anything :) My first course of action with a dog I’m caring for is always to take them for a walk or let them out as it might’ve been hours since they’ve last been out. I’ll try for longer walks to use up all their energy til the next time I pop in. Then it’s time for food and water refill and play time/enrichment time where I try to get the last of their energy out. If I’m watching cats, I’ll feed them first and as they eat is my time to clean out the litter box. Cats also need tons of play time, so after they eat I’ll entertain them too. The hardest part for me is always leaving them.
About: I’ve rescued and taken care of ALL types of animals for a very long time through patience love and play! I know animals very well and I adjust to your animal needs. Relocating to Far Rockaway I have open availability I work part time as a delivery e bike rider so I can adjust my schedule as need be. Open and dependable I will be relocating to Far Rockaway and I’d love to walk your dog on the pier and to dog walk areas . I cater to your pet! I can do pick up and drop off services
“Alexandra did a great job with our 17 year old cat. We were out of town for 3 days and came back to a very clean living space and a very content Isis. Would definitely recommend Alexandra for overnight sitting with your pet!”
About: My journey with dogs began with Sparkle, a rescue I raised from eight weeks old. For 14 wonderful years, she was my best friend. In her later years, she navigated life with a disability and absolutely rocked a pink wheelchair. Losing her in 2018 didn't diminish the love she left behind. It redirected it outward, straight toward every dog I've met since. I’ve since adopted Harvey, a rescue Pittie with a backstory that’ll make you cry and a personality that’ll make you laugh. He was found as a critically starving stray in Texas, brought to a high-kill shelter in NYC, and pulled from a euthanasia list just in the nick of time. Harvey has since blossomed into the happiest, goofiest, most brisket-shaped dog you'll ever meet. His favorite hobbies are couch hogging and unhinged zoomies. Rehabilitating him deepened my understanding of canine anxiety, trauma recovery, and the kind of steady, patient love it takes to help a dog truly feel safe. That experience, combined with years of hands-on care for dogs of all ages, sizes, and temperaments, is what I bring to every visit. I've worked with elderly and special needs dogs, as well as dogs managing anxiety, hyperactivity, and behavioral challenges, across a wide range of breeds from Pitbulls and Chihuahuas to St. Bernards and Corgis. I'm currently working toward board certification in canine massage therapy through my forthcoming practice. Your pet is family. I'll treat them like it… and probably talk to them in a silly voice the whole time. My schedule revolves around animals, and I wouldn’t have it any other way! If you have any questions about my availability, just send me a message! I treat every pet in my care the way I treat my own, and I welcome pets with disabilities. I have experience administering oral medications, tinctures, and topical treatments. I cared for my late dog Sparkle with medication administered via syringe. Special needs, senior pets, and animals with medical routines are in safe and experienced hands with me. I take time to learn each pet's individual needs, quirks, and comfort levels before and during every visit…because trust between a sitter and an animal isn't assumed…it’s built.
“Rachel was awesome! She had great communication with us while we were away and sent the most adorable pictures of our pup on the couch, on walks and just having fun!”

Pet parents share their Rover experiences - Cedarhurst
My two big fiesty dogs are very reactive to other dogs, but Beverly handled them with no problems, taking them for a long walk, and even encountering other dogs, but keeping the situation under control. Such a relief for me! I like to walk them, but am always worried to ask others to do that. I am very glad to find someone who can do so and keep them in check. They are all bark and no bite, but other dogs and people do not know that, so it is good to know that Beverly understands how to keep everyone safe! She is upfront, honest, and calm. You want her on your team.
Dayanara did a home stay at my apartment and took care of my dog while I was out of town. She kept me updated every day and left my house better than how I left it! My doorman even told me how nice she was. Penny was well taken care of and was a happy pup when I got home.
I truly can’t put into words how grateful we are for Joanna and the care she provided for D. D is a rescue with past trauma, so he is extremely fearful and skittish at first. He’s not an easy dog. Joanna showed INCREDIBLE patience, especially on the first day, giving D the time and space he needed to warm up. Her calm and gentle nature immediately put him at ease. She took him on daily walks and trips to the dog park and consistently sent photos and thoughtful updates, which gave me so much peace of mind. There is nothing more comforting than knowing your dog is happy, comfortable, and truly cared for, and Joanna exceeded all expectations. She also took wonderful care of my apartment — I returned to a clean and tidy home. I would absolutely trust Joanna again and cannot recommend her highly enough.
Kelley is absolutely amazing! She came over to spend time with Jed before our scheduled sit more than once. She is extremely communicative and a total dog lover! Kelley is detail oriented and we felt so at ease leaving our dog in her care in our home. Our home was left immaculate and our dog, Jed, has a new girlfriend. I am so pleased to have established this relationship and trust with Kelley and will not hesitate to use her services in the future. Do not give it a second thought, 100% recommend Kelley!

Frequently asked questions about Rover
As of September 2026, there are 18,531 sitters on Rover offering House Sitting across Cedarhurst. 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 Cedarhurst 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 Cedarhurst 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 Cedarhurst 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 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.
Yes, you can find sitters who have experience with handling special pet needs in Cedarhurst. On Rover:
- 88% of sitters can help with special care needs

- 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.
