“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!”

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!!!!

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!

Frequently asked questions about Rover
The average cost of Dog Sitting in East Meadow is $31 per visit as of October 2026. Most bookings cost between $20 and $54 per visit. On Rover, sitters set their own rates based on factors such as their experience, the length of care, the number of pets, and your pet’s specific needs. As long as your booking dates and pet profiles are accurate, the price shown before you confirm is the total, including any booking fee.
As of October 2026, there are 24,771 sitters on Rover offering Dog Sitting across East Meadow. Enter your ZIP code to see which available sitters are closest to your home.
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.
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.
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.
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.

- 83% of sitters can help with special care needs

- 94% 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.
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.
