About: I love dogs of all shapes, sizes, and ages, but I have the most experience with caring for adolescent to senior dogs.

I am fully dedicated to taking care your furry friend(s) and I'm fully available to meet you beforehand to ensure we're a good team! I am more than happy to spend time with your pet, whether that means playing, feeding, or just hanging out. Your fur baby will be safe and in great hands!
“Oli did a great job while house sitting and taking care of our little min-pin. Our dog loved her and she was very responsive to our requests for pictures and updates. She also left the house very clean and the dog well fed. We would love to have her back.”
“Michelle has house sat for us twice. She’s very communicative, organized and very considerate of our 2 cats and 2 dogs. Our dogs are rescues who require regular medications and are high maintenance. Michelle did a great job and we are grateful!”
“Sarah was absolutely amazing. I have never been able to go away without worrying who would be around to feed and let out my dogs let alone worrying about them being alone all night. She kept me updated on how they were doing and sent pictures. My babies absolutely love her! She did not disappoint!”
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.
“Alec was amazing! Incredibly attentive and our dog Mabel absolutely loved him. Alec cared for Mabel for a little over a week and provided constant communication and pics so we knew she was being well cared for. I can not recommend Alec enough!”
“Kristen was truly incredible. She was flexible, so so sweet, and took the best care of our puppy!! We hired her to come help us for 4 days during our wedding weekend in New York. She sent us plenty of photos, gave us tons of updates, and was the best Rover we’ve ever had the pleasure of working with. She also is a pet photographer and took so many amazing pictures that we will cherish forever!! Thank you from all of us, Kristen ??”
About: I have been looking after my own dog as well as dogs in my neighborhood for around 3 years now! I have walked dogs, fed them, watched over them, and most importantly, showered them with cuddles and kisses. I cannot imagine my life without my dog so I understand what a privilege and responsibility it is to look after yours. I look forward to getting to know you and your pup! :) I am currently a full time student at Hofstra University so I can help mostly on weekends. Please be mindful that I am a student and that I have classes Monday through Thursday, but that I am willing to help whenever I can :) I promise to always respect your requests as a pet owners, care deeply for whatever pet I watch over, and be conscientious of what the dog needs at the current moment.
“Valerie has been watching our dog for almost 2 years now. She is great, caring, and a very neat houseguest. She communicates very well, and puts you at ease while you are away from your pet! 10/10 recommend”
About: Growing up we always had dogs in the house, from Chihuahuas to Labradors and I am the current proud parent to two cats! I have been a pet sitter for friends and family many times and I’m happy to give your pets the love and attention they need. I am working full-time Monday to Friday but I have relatively flexible hours and I am usually free on weekends. Evenings I am generally available. I’m committed to caring for your pet’s needs and will give them the same loving care I give all the animals in my life! I want your pets to be comfortable, happy, and safe. I am comfortable picking up your routine so you can be worry free.
“Samantha was great! We had an unique petcare request and she was exceptionally accommodating. She sent us updates and photos and our little guy was well taken care of. We highly recommend her to other Rover-subs.”
“Jenine was a wonderful sitter. Respectful, prompt, and attentive to our pets. It's always a gamble when you have a senior dog and need someone to stay overnight to watch them, but I will for sure be using here again. It's a such a relief to have a reliable sitter available for my dogs. Thank you, Jenine!”
“Amy was great with our 2 large pups! We have a slightly complicated feeding routine and she made a clear chart to keep track of everything, including meds for one pup. Our house was just as we left it to include laundered sheets and towels which was such a nice surprise! Would be happy to have her come back.”

About: For quite a few years I’ve taken care of dogs for family members, families all over Long Island and never disappointed! I’ve loved dogs all my life and still do. They’re honestly like family to me and I always treat my family with care, respect and love which is what a dog needs. I also have 2 dogs of my own and they is just the best thing that happened to me honestly and that’s why I’m working for this company because I’ve found something that I could work for and love doing what I do at the same time. I treat every dog like they’re mine! Every dog that has been to my house they are treated like our family, care for every one of them. I currently just graduated college so as of right now I am home full time! Sometimes I go out to run a few errands which means I put the dogs in a crate but my mother works from home 2 days out of the week so if she’s there she’ll keep them out and moving around on their own! Other than that I am very free for now! In my home I have a huge clean yard that runs through the back, side and front it is fenced so the dogs could run freely around for some daily exercise. I also have two dogs of my own that’ll definitely keep your lovely dog(s) company. They are very playful and welcoming, one is 4 years old and the other one is 3 years old, with all their shots and up to date with all doctor appointments. This is a smoke free house also. Your baby will be happy&safe here!
“Anna was awesome! Very communicative and my dogs (and rabbit) loved having her stay with them. I was out of the country and she made sure I was updated the whole time. I felt very comfortable and relaxed :) we will definitely be booking with Anna again!”
About: I have been an animal lover ever since I can remember! I grew up surrounded by cats & dogs and in adulthood have fostered kittens and dogsat for coworkers! I am currently employed full time in a hybrid model and will accommodate the needs of your fur baby as they arise. It is of the utmost importance to me to keep your furbaby happy ! I will ensure your animal is well cared for in any capacity you need. I am a firm believer in animals can sit on the couch and lay in bed!
About: I have had experience with dogs since I was young, but I started looking after them for others three years ago. I currently care for the same dogs every day; I know how to prevent fights and avoid dangerous situations, and above all, I have a great deal of respect and love for these furry friends. I work as a dog sitter; my available time is only on Sundays and Mondays I'm looking to just walk dogs, but over time I could do you a favor with something else.

Sarah was absolutely amazing. I have never been able to go away without worrying who would be around to feed and let out my dogs let alone worrying about them being alone all night. She kept me updated on how they were doing and sent pictures. My babies absolutely love her! She did not disappoint!
Amazing! Jenny jumped in for an overnight in a pinch and it proved to be the best thing for my pup. She was super engaged (walking him and playing fetch), very warm and sent frequent updates and pics. My pup was very happy and he's looking forward to seeing her again!
We’re very thankful for Gianna taking care of our girl on a last minute request. She was very accommodating! We have a dog who has some separation anxiety and Gianna followed our requests for her care well! She also came to meet us before our trip and we were thankful she was able to swing a home visit prior (and again so last minute!!). Thank you Gianna!!
Jessica did a great job taking care of our large, goofy dog and cats. She was a great communicator and kept us in the loop with photos and videos throughout her stay. We felt confident in leaving our pets and house under her care. We highly recommend her and will rebook with her when needed next time.
Allie was incredible! My dogs absolutely loved her. She is kind, caring and communicated wonderfully while we were away. She diligently sent us updates and photos of our pups. We felt comfortable with her staying in our home. She even took care of our flowers and took in our packages. Highly recommend her!
Valerie once again took great care of our three doggie cousins. We booked her stay at our house for 10 days for our trip to Europe and came home to a perfectly clean house and very happy dogs. Val checked in multiple times a day by sending cute photos and updates of the dogs. I highly recommend hiring Valerie. She is a very caring and responsible pet sitter.
Sonia stayed over at our house for 4 nights and was wonderful. My dog felt safe and calm with her. The house was exactly how we left it. She was very kind and nice and responded to text messages almost immediately. I would definitely recommend her to others. Overall everything was great!
Nidia has been one of the best decision I could have made as a first time pet owner. My family and I went on vacation for 5 days and our King was treated as such!! A KING!! Nidia was very attentive. Gave great updates with pics and videos..and was very responsive. She is now a part of our family!! Nidia, my family and I are forever indebted to you! ❤️Thank you for loving him like we do!!
Kaitlyn O. is a top-notch pet sitter. She cared for my small dog and kitten and truly excelled in all areas. Her professionalism is outstanding: she's very punctual, responsible, and incredibly proactive with all questions and updates. Beyond her reliability, she has a wonderful, warm personality and showed a profound love and genuine care for my pets' well-being. She is highly recommended, and I look forward to using her services again.

FAQs for House Sitting - East Meadow
Frequently asked questions about Rover
The average cost for House Sitting in East Meadow on Rover is $88.8 per night (as of September 2026). However, all sitters set their own rates based on experience, location, and availability.
Rover makes budgeting the cost of House Sitting easy. As long as your dates and pet profiles are correct, the price you see before you book is the same price you pay for House Sitting. For more information on service fees, click here .
As of September 2026, there are 18,299 sitters on Rover offering House Sitting across East Meadow. 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 East Meadow 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 East Meadow 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 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!
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 East Meadow. On Rover:
- 88% of sitters can help with special care needs
- 93% 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.
