“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: 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.
“Karen was wonderful! She stepped in on very short notice when our original sitter unexpectedly became unavailable, and we are so grateful that she was able to help. She was reliable, responsible, and very easy to communicate with throughout the booking. Every day, she sent us around 10 photos of Cobb along with thoughtful, detailed updates about each visit, which gave us so much peace of mind while we were away. We could tell that she was attentive and genuinely cared about how he was doing. She was also flexible with scheduling and made the whole experience smooth and stress-free. We truly appreciate Karen’s help and would absolutely recommend her to other pet parents. We would be very happy to book with her again!”
“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.”

About: I have 20+ years of experience taking care of dogs from puppies to seniors. I had four dogs of my own growing up which I took a hands on role in caring for and playing with. I currently have 2 dogs whom I love! I have looked after dogs for both friends and family. I am reliable, trustworthy, playful and will look after your fur babies as if they were my own. I'm currently working part time, so I have plenty of time to care for and play with your pups & cats. I am able to make myself available on weekdays and weekends. I offer drop in visits for both dogs and/or cats, dog walking and overnight stays at the client's home when needed. I have experience with puppies & kittens up to seniors. I have had both dogs and cats of my own. I love animals and it would be a privilege to care for your dogs and cats.
“Suzanne was amazing! She was accommodating, left plenty of photos and detailed notes for us, and most of all, kept our fur baby safe and happy during and after his walks. We've never felt more comfortable, and wouldn't hesitate to book her again!”
“I have a mini dachshund with advanced renal issues. She needs subcutaneous fluids on daily basis. Even one day away is critical in keeping the disease from advancing. For the 2 days I was away, I couldn't have asked for a kinder, sensitive and caring person to care for my little Ruth. She is a life saver and we are grateful that we can rely on her the next time we are away. Thank you Jen from the bottom of our hearts.”
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.
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!
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.
“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!”
“Alex made sure to keep in contact with me during his visits and more. My kittys were fed and had yummy snacks while I was away which was a relief that I didn’t have to worry about them.”
About: Caring for dogs has been a big part of my life for years. I’ve cared for dogs of all ages and personalities from high-energy, curious puppies to senior dogs who need a slower pace and extra love. I had my own dog, Gino, for 15 years and cared for him until the very end 💛, and I’ve cared for dogs in my home as well as for family and friends, giving each one the love and attention they deserve. Because of this, I’m very comfortable following routines and giving extra care when needed. I have experience administering medications, including pills, liquid meds, eye drops, topical treatments, medicated shampoos, and basic bandaging. I’m patient, attentive, and always tuned in to a dog’s comfort and needs. I treat every dog like family and make sure they feel safe, relaxed, and loved while you’re 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.

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!!

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!

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.

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 .
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.
