“Wei came to my home to care for my 2 cats. She was attentive and sweet and my cats felt comfortable with her. She also made sure they had adequate water and food, and she diligently cleaned their litter boxes. I am thankful for her help!”

About: My family and I all love animals, so we applied to be pet's sitters at home care. We have a independent house with a yard, and there will always be someone at home 24 hours a day. The pets can move freely at home without too many restrictions. We have regularly clean to the house to ensure the clean and hygiene environment for all pets. I have over a year of experience in taking care of cats and over six years of experience in taking care of dogs. The longest time I took care of a cat was for two months. At the beginning, the cat would hide under the sofa for a week, but lately he became completely unrestrained and would lie on the bed together, play hide-and-seek with me, and explore every corner of the house. When the weather was good, the dogs could play freely in the yard. Welcome all cats and dogsto my home, we are the best friends of your pets! We can keep daily routine for all pet's. I am working part-time on weekends and I will come back at 4PM , but my family members are off on weekends. And my family members and I take care of all pets together. We have a independent house with a yard, and there will always be someone at home 24 hours a day. The pets can move freely at home without too many restrictions. We have regularly cleaning to the house to ensure the clean and hygiene environment for all pets. When the weather was good, the dogs could play freely in the yard.
“We are incredibly grateful to Karen for taking such wonderful care of our two dogs during our vacation through drop-in visits at the house. This enabled them to stay where they were comfortable and not be boarded. Karen was both professional and friendly, making us feel completely at ease while we were away. She was in contact with photos and summaries of visits which gave us peace of mind. She fed them, let them out, and engaged them in play. It was clear that she genuinely cared about our dogs, and they loved her. We will certainly be booking her services again in the future. Thank you, Karen, for your outstanding care!”

“Michael was great. He kept communication clear and let us know how the dogs were doing. We have two huge boys who are pretty much lap dogs. He handled them gracefully. Definitely recommend!”

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.
“Rachel is wonderful :) My two rescues can be quite reactive and skittish to just about any change in lifestyle. She's more than willing to jump right in & find what works for everyone. I will be using her as a regular sitter from here on out!”

“Stephanie goes beyond her expected responsibilities. She pours love into everything she touches including my fur babies. I have peace of mind when I go away, knowing that I leave them in good hands. I trust her wholeheartedly.”

“Krissy was WONDERFUL!! We have a pup that can take a little bit to warm up to you - Krissy came over twice before our trip to meet Lucy and for them to get comfortable. She sent us tons of pictures and kept us up to date on how Lucy was doing while we were away! Lucy absolutely loved Krissy!! We will be working with Krissy again in the future for our next trip!”

About: We are a family of dog lovers! My husband and I both grew up with dogs, and though we don’t have pets currently, our love of dogs keeps us pet sitting and dog walking around our neighborhood. We have 3 young children who absolutely adore dogs, and love taking responsibility in taking care of them when we are pet sitting. We have a lot of snuggles to give your pups, and lots of walks to take them on, too! I am a stay at home mom so our schedule is pretty flexible! We are up early, and outside often. Any timing should be fine for us to work around. We have a fenced in yard with plenty of space for your fur baby. We can play fetch with your pup, give them lots of snuggles, and plenty of walks!
“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 been caring for animals for years and have hands-on experience with both dogs and cats. I currently care for my own high-energy Shepherd mix, so I'm comfortable handling large, energetic dogs and understand the importance of patience, consistency, and reading body language. I've also cared for multiple cats while their owners were away, making sure they were fed, had fresh water, clean litter boxes, plenty of attention (or space, depending on their personality), and that their owners received regular updates for peace of mind. In addition to everyday pet care, I have experience caring for dogs with medical needs. My current dog is undergoing heartworm treatment, which has taught me how important it is to follow medication schedules, activity restrictions, and provide calm, attentive care. I also helped care for my childhood dog throughout kidney disease. Whether your pet is playful, shy, young, senior, or needs a little extra patience, I'll treat them like one of my own and make sure they feel safe, comfortable, and loved while you're away. Pet care is already a big part of my daily routine. I have a dog of my own, so I'm used to early mornings, frequent potty breaks, walks, playtime, and sticking to a schedule. I work part-time, which gives me flexibility for drop-in visits, walks, and pet sitting. I'll always make sure your pet gets the attention, exercise, and care they deserve. I care for every pet as if they were my own. I always follow each owner's instructions carefully, including feeding schedules, medications, crate routines, and exercise needs. I have experience caring for both dogs and cats, including pets with medical needs, so I'm comfortable paying close attention to behavior and making sure they stay safe, happy, and comfortable. I'll also keep you updated with plenty of photos and messages so you know your pet is in good hands.
About: I have experience caring for pets through both professional work and personal ownership. I currently provide dog walking and pet care through Wag!, where I’ve worked with dogs of different ages, sizes, and energy levels, including senior dogs and more active breeds. I’ve also had the opportunity to build trust with repeat clients by providing dependable, compassionate care. As a proud cat mom to two cats, I understand the importance of patience, routine, and recognizing each pet’s unique personality. In addition, I’ve volunteered with a cat rescue, where I cared for cats with a wide range of temperaments, cleaned enclosures, socialized cats, and administered oral and topical medications when needed. I also spent a year working at a family-owned pet store that specialized in dogs, cats, and exotic animals, giving me hands-on experience with daily animal care and pet wellness. My goal is to provide every pet with a safe, loving, and stress-free experience while giving pet parents peace of mind. Pet care fits naturally into my weekly routine because I work remotely, which gives me a flexible schedule and allows me to dedicate quality time to the pets I care for. Since I also drive, I’m able to reliably travel to visits, walks, and drop-ins. I enjoy staying active and spending time with animals, so caring for pets is something I genuinely look forward to each week. Your pet’s safety, comfort, and routine are my top priorities. I believe pets feel happiest in their own home, so I take the time to learn their schedule, feeding routine, exercise needs, and any special instructions before each visit. I always ensure doors, gates, and harnesses are secure, keep a close eye on your pet during walks and playtime, and treat your home with the same care and respect I would my own. I’ll also provide updates and photos so you can have peace of mind knowing your pet is safe, happy, and well cared for while you’re away.
“Julia was amazing with my cat! From the moment we connected, she was communicative, professional, and clearly a true animal lover. While I was away, she sent the sweetest updates and photos that genuinely made my day—my cat looked so happy and relaxed with her! She went above and beyond to make sure he was well-fed, played with, and comfortable. I came home to a happy, calm cat and everything in perfect order. It gave me such peace of mind knowing he was in such caring hands. I would 100% book with Julia again and highly recommend her to anyone looking for a reliable and kind sitter!”

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.
“Linda was great with our dogs. She sent us photos of them and gave us an update on her visit. Upon meeting her, our dogs were instantly in love. We feel worry-free knowing she is going to tend to them when we are away.”

Pet parents share their Rover experiences - East Meadow
Susan came to my house for a meet and greet about 1 week before the first visit. She was cordial and pleasant. I explained everything to her regarding feeding instructions, the litter box and most importantly the administration of meds to Belle who has a history of seizures. She was able to administer the med to Belles ear flap successfully. She came during the hours specified and always sent me a message with a pic. I feel very comfortable with her as I can see she is very capable. I would recommend Susan K. To any cat owner.

I could really trust Harshita with my cats while I was away. I have worked with her twice and both times she brought in my mail and fed my fish unprompted. She also followed my instructions to administer oral medications to one of my cats, and sent pictures. I could tell she really cared for my cats by the care and detail she provided. She was very professional to work with also. I had no problems and will book her again for the future.

Lindsay did a great job caring for our 3 cats. She contacted us every day and sent us pictures. Even in the heavy rain she made it to our home. She also cleaned up when one of our cats got sick and she also cleaned up dry food that the cats knocked over. We highly recommend Lindsay for your cat sitting needs.
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.

Jenny was responsive and on top of things. During the meet and greet she asked a lot of questions to make sure that she had all the information. She was happy to meet our two cats. During her visits, she checked in with me and sent pictures. Everyone was happy to have her visit.

Juliana is the best, I trust her completely with my 2 cats, Nellie & Clark! She has been watching my cats since Clark was a kitten and now he is 2 years old. He can be high energy and difficult towards my older 10 year old cat Nellie, but Juliana handles them with such love and patience. She is able to separate them during feeding times and distract Clark with playtime! She is always prompt and goes above and beyond to ensure I feel at ease that the cats are doing well while I’m away. When Juliana is watching them, I never worry!

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!

Michael was amazing with my two shy cats. He was gentle and patient and overall just what they needed. He was respectable of our space and followed instructions well. So grateful he made my first Rover experience a smooth and positive one! Reliable and very responsive. Highly recommend and will definitely rebook in the future.

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!!🫶🐶🐶🫶

I’m a very nervous pet owner, so leaving my cats alone while I’m on vacation is always a stressful experience. But Oluademi did an amazing job taking care of my cats and helped put me at ease every step of the way. She followed my (admittedly pretty complicated) instructions perfectly and with attention to detail. She often went the extra mile to spend time with them and reassure me that they were doing just fine, so I could enjoy my vacation. I would absolutely recommend her!

This was our second drop-in visit, and he once again did an amazing job. He took great care of each one of our cats, cleaned the litter boxes thoroughly, refreshed their water, and made sure everyone was happy. We really appreciate how attentive and reliable he is. Highly recommend!

A pet sitter can provide focused care sessions, help your pet’s routine stay on track, or keep you updated on your pet’s mood and energy levels.
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. For daytime services like walking and drop-ins, you can also request sitters to send a report card with every visit.
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.
If you would like updates while you’re away, you can discuss with your sitter how many or how frequent you’d like those updates to be. The Rover app allows sitters to send photos, videos, and messages about your pet, including how many pee or poop breaks occurred. You can message your sitter at any time through the app and our support team is available 24/7 by email or chat if you have concerns.
The personalized, in-home nature of pet care through Rover can mean more individual attention for your pet.
Many pet parents provide a spare key or arrange a lockbox. You can also exchange keys during the Meet & Greet and show your walker how to use digital fobs or personalized codes. It helps to arrange access to your home, from spare keys to concierge introductions, before pet care begins.
If you live in an apartment or condo, don’t forget to discuss details like buzzer access, codes, or elevator etiquette. These details can help a pet sitter feel more comfortable going in and out of your building.
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.

All bookings are backed by the Rover Guarantee , which provides up to $25,000 in eligible veterinary care reimbursement.
Yes, you can find sitters who have experience with handling special pet needs in East Meadow. On Rover:
- 87% of sitters can help with special care needs
- 92% can help with giving oral medications or injections
- 96% 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.
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.
