About: For two years, I’ve cared for friends’ dogs through walks, drop-ins, and longer stays. I’ll make sure your pup gets the exercise, attention, and care they need while keeping you updated every step of the way. I am more than happy to spend weekends with your pets so you can go and have weekend away and know they are well taken care of! For dogs, I always make sure they are hydrated and fed first (unless there is a specific routine) then we go into a walk and some play if they’re up to it! For the cats, I make sure they’re hydrated and fed usually after a play session so they feel satisfied and can rest easily.
“Elizabeth helped to care for my 2 cats while I was away for almost 4 weeks. Elizabeth was responsible and spent a lot of time with my cats. One of my cats is very skittish but he warmed up to Elizabeth quickly. She followed my instructions and kept me updated on each of her visits. I came home knowingly cats were taken care of and they enjoyed her visit. She did a great job for me!”
“Ella was great! My dog is high maintenance needing medication that she doesn’t easily take and having accidents while she’s alone, Ella was able to give her meds and cleaned up after the accidents. She gave detailed updates of her time as well along with pictures.”
“We knew Valerie from our days of volunteering at Pets4Luv, so we were comfortable and confident our furbabies would be in great care while we were away since we know how much she loves them all!. Valerie took great care of our Max and Lexi - she was prompt, she communicated with us about how they were doing and sent us pictures too! Not only did she feed them but she also played with them and gave them treats. I would definitely ask Valerie to take care of them again!”
“Janhvi was excellent. The experience felt luxurious with the way she operated. Never missed a visit, pics, vids and full report every time. Would definitely use her services again in the future.”
“Amazing doesn’t quite describe Susan because she’s so much more. She took such great care of our two kitties while we were on almost 2 week vacation. She provided daily updates on the kitties and on the house and even took our mail in. It made our vacation so much more pleasurable knowing that we didn’t have to worry and we came home to very happy kitties. I will definitely ask Susan to watch them again and hope that she’s available when we travel:)”
About: I’ve been around pets for much of my life, so caring for animals has always felt very natural to me. Being a pet owner myself has given me firsthand experience with the daily responsibilities that come with keeping a pet happy, healthy, and comfortable, from feeding and walks to playtime, companionship, and lots of attention. I understand that pets are part of the family, and I know how important it is to leave them with someone you can trust. I’m patient, attentive, and take the time to learn each pet’s personality, routine, and preferences so they can feel as comfortable and cared for as possible while you’re away. I’m a full-time student, which gives me a flexible schedule and plenty of time to care for your pet. I’m happy to follow their usual routine for feeding, walks, playtime, and rest so they feel comfortable and cared for while you’re away. When caring for pets in your home, I treat it with the same respect and care as I would my own. I follow your pet’s routine closely, provide updates, and make sure they feel safe, loved, and comfortable while you’re away.
“Katharine Has watched our 4 year old pup. Several times. Remi is always excited to see her. We feel score in traveling knowing Katharine is there to care for Remi. She is attentive, loving, responsible, caring and communicative. She sends pictures. Will continue to use her to watch Remi. Please don’t hesitate to reach out to her if you are in need of a sitter.”
About: I’ve had a dog for as long as I can remember and I’ve never had any issues with any dogs. I’ve had a boxer, pitbull mix, and husky throughout my life My calendar is open all summer long!!! I’m working part time during the summer so I have lots of availability to care for your animals! I can provide care throughout the week and on weekends! When I sit for families I always send lots of photos and videos to parents because I know they miss their furry friends so much!
About: What sets me apart as a sitter is the level of time, attention, and genuine care I give every dog—treating them like part of the family, not just a booking. I provide attentive, flexible care with plenty of one-on-one time for walks, play, and enrichment. I’m experienced with basic puppy training and gentle senior care. Your dog will feel safe, happy, and at home alongside Brownie, our friendly, social chocolate lab. 🐾 I mainly work from home, giving me a flexible schedule for walks, playtime, and breaks. I'm available on weekdays and weekends, 8 am to 8 pm EST Advanced booking is preferred to ensure I can provide the best care for your dog. I follow your pet’s routine closely, making sure they feel safe, comfortable, and loved. With flexible hours, I provide plenty of attention through walks, playtime, enrichment, and calm companionship. In my home, pets enjoy a warm, relaxed environment with supervised play, outdoor time, and lots of cuddles. They’ll also have the chance to socialize with Brownie, our friendly chocolate lab, if they enjoy canine company. In a client’s home, I respect your space and keep things familiar—maintaining feeding schedules, walks, play, and any special care or training needs. My goal is always a happy, stress-free experience for both pets and owners.
About: I love working with pets specially those energetic pets that love running and playing. My favorite hobbies are running and walking so I enjoy doing that very much. I am currently in college for my business administration associates. As soon as I’m done with school I love coming home two my two baby pups. I have fenced yard. Very big pups can run all over the place and be safe. Pets are allowed in the couches and around children if they are friendly
“I am so lucky to have gotten Alexandra to pet sit for me! She was able to help me out last second and was incredible at communicating throughout my trip! My 2 cats loved her and I would 100% book again!”
About: Hi! I’m Oli, a recent grad with almost ten years of experience petsitting. I’m back on Rover for the first time in a while after some of my long-term clients moved/had kids & aren’t in need of a sitter as frequently as before, and I’m looking forward to building relationships with new clients and making friends with your pets. I’ve been around dogs my whole life and have experience taking care of dogs & cats of all ages and sizes with varying levels of needs, including rescues with significant anxiety/trauma and seniors with medical issues/cognitive decline. I can also maintain/clean freshwater fish tanks, and although I have minimal experience with exotic pets, I do have some familiarity with their needs and am quick & eager to learn more if you have any! Thanks so much for checking out my profile & considering me to take care of your non-human family members :^) I’m currently looking for work (great job market right now!!) and generally have a lot of free time. I’m mostly available during weekends and overnight during the week (when I know 100% that someone will be home to take care of Spencer), but I’m good to arrange weekday visits too!! Unfortunately, I cannot board your pet(s) in my home currently — my 14 y/o dog Spencer is ever-so-slightly senile and has developed some issues with reactivity & resource guarding
About: I've had pets my whole life. As I child i've had a dog and 2 cats. When I was 21 I got my first dog and 6 years later I adopted another fur baby. Ive trained these 2 dogs since they were puppies and they are very well house trained and lease trained. I have pet sit on many occasions. I schedule feeding times, walks, play sessions, and grooming as needed throughout the day. It's all about balance and ensuring that the pets in my care receive the attention and care they need while also managing other responsibilities. This consistency helps maintain a stable and happy environment for the pets. In both cases, creating a safe and comfortable environment is key. In my own home, I ensure there are designated areas for feeding, resting, and playtime. I stick to their usual routine as much as possible to minimize stress. For clients' homes, I follow their instructions closely, maintain cleanliness, and provide updates on the pet's well-being. Whether in my home or theirs, the pets receive plenty of attention, exercise, and affection.
“Michelle was great with Slater. She is a true animal lover, very caring. She is considerate, professional and clean. I would recommend her to anyone. Your pet will love her. I will def use her care again in the future. 5 stars. 👍”
About: I have had 3 dogs at a time my whole life and always took care of them. Friends and family trust me to care for their pets. I'm extremely reliable and excited to meet your fur babies! I am going to college part time and also working part time. I am currently on summer break and my schedule depends on the week I will potentially be available for boarding upon request. I have a big fenced yard with 3 friendly dogs to play with your fur babies. The surrounding area of my house is very walkable for occasional walks. I have many different kinds of dog toys to play with.
About: Hey there, I’m Meg! I am an avid volunteer with both humans and pets, vegetarian, artist and huge animal lover. I have one very sweet 3 year old female shepherd mix who loves to make new friends. I have experience with a number of different types of animals in addition to dogs and cats (small mammals, birds, reptiles and some exotics) and a tremendous love and appreciation for all animals. I am responsible, punctual and super outgoing. I’ve been dog sitting, nannying and house sitting professionally for just about 10 years now. I provide dog sitting in my house or travel sitting in yours + will make sure your dog is happy, fed, walked and entertained while you're out! I have a lot of energy and love to take them for walks, and for calmer dogs that just like to be pet and lounge around, we can do that too! I’m comfortable administering medication as I’ve done it with my own dogs in the past and don’t mind giving baths or trimming nails with a Dremel if requested as well. I have excellent references, a clean license and safe car if transportation is needed. I’m so excited to hear from you! I work from home during the week and am available to play/have fun any weekend I’m booked to watch your little friend. I can take frequent walks/potty breaks and play as much as requested. have a fully fenced in dog-proofed yard with lots of toys and activities to do! I have 1 very social medium sized dog who loves having guests over and is always happy to welcome our home to other friends.

Dog parents share their Rover experiences - East Meadow
I cannot thank Stephanie enough for taking care of my sweet pup! It was my first time using Rover and I was nervous, hoping to find the right sitter while I was out of town for a few hours. Stephanie put all of my worries at ease during our meet & greet and I got to see firsthand how sweetly she interacted with my dog. During the week, my pup came down with an ear infection and needed to take antibiotics. I told Stephanie, and she gave my dog the antibiotic with ease. She is trustworthy, dependable, and an all around great sitter.
Lindsay was an extremely communicative and thoughtful sitter who handled my little pit mix like a pro. She’s a ball of muscle and working on her training currently so while a sweetheart can be a lot to handle, but Lindsay more than managed and kept her occupied and happy while I was away for 3 days. I will certainly be using her services again in the future!
Katharine was awesome! She came to the rescue when our original plan fell through for someone to drop in and care for our dog while we were out of town for the day. Each drop-in, she was right on time, left thorough notes, and sent us photos. We sincerely appreciated her friendly demeanor and willingness to take on our last-minute request; we're so glad it worked out and we wouldn't hesitate to contact her again. Thank you Katharine!
Jenna and Greg were absolutely amazing with our pups during our vacation!! We Couldn't be happier!! We were nervous and had never hired a sitter before and we were going away for a whole week but Jenna and Greg put all of our worries at ease! Our pups were in need of a little extra care with us being away for so long and our pups both having some special needs. Jenna and Greg treated our pups like their very own, showing lots and lots of love and attention while we were away. They were amazing with communication and lots of pictures as well! Jenna and Greg are extremely trustworthy, caring and both AMAZING at what they do!! If you get a chance to book them definitely take advantage of such a Beautiful opportunity-Jenna and Greg do not disappoint and your pups will be so happy to be in amazing hands!!!! Thank you Jenna and Greg!!🫶🐶🐶🫶
Wei did an excellent job with the chins and their space. She’s very attentive to details (HUGE plus), compassionate, friendly, and a self starter. I loved how she knew without needing oversight what would need taken care of. Really excited and hoping we will be able to work with Wei for a long time moving forward! Looking forward to next week! Definitely give her a try !!!! Will update my review as time goes on …
Susan was everything I had hoped for and just the person I needed to care for my fur granddog! She was friendly, attentive, punctual, trustworthy and he loved his long walks and playtime with her! Susan truly cared for him the way I do and it gave me great peace of mind to know that. I would highly recommend her! Thank you, Susan!

Whether you’re at the office for the day or traveling for a few nights, a pet sitter can offer potty breaks during a East Meadow stroll, cleaning the litter box, or making sure your pet has on-time food or water refills.

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.
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 East Meadow 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 are not on the Department of Justice’s National Sex Offender Public Website or have any disqualifying offenses.

A Meet & Greet is a short introductory meeting between you, your dog, 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.
While Rover doesn’t offer traditional subscription services, some sitters offer recurring bookings for services like home visits and dog walking. Recurring services come with their own perks, such as flexibility to modify services (up to five weeks in advance), automatic billing, Rover Card updates, and same-day cancellations.
To find sitters in East Meadow with recurring or weekly availability, select "Repeat Weekly" and which days you’d like them to care for your pet.

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.
