About: I've taken care of my 9 year old Pekingese Jax since he was a puppy! He's my Taurus bestie! Now I have the joy of raising my 6 month old Goldendoodle Sevyn! Routine and fun is KEY! I currently work part time so I have plenty availability to care for and have fun with your fur baby! Schedule times for feeding and peepee poopoo time! At my home I have a large patio where your pet can eat, chill and lounge and people watch! However you parent your pet at home will be the rules I follow!
“Rachel did a great job taking care of Zu! He needed a friend while I was away and she definitely provided! She also provided all the necessary care and maintenance that comes with a FIV cat. Will definitely reach out to her again.”
“Alex was amazing! He was a total professional from the start. We had no issues with Communication, he was always prompt with his responses. He went above and beyond with his care of our dog Lily! He was able to help our skittish pup get out of her shell. He sent updates daily while we were away which helped our separation anxiety. I would 100% recommend Alex!”
“We knew our 2 cats were in great hands after we met Patricia for our meet & greet. She's friendly, responsible and she sent us pictures and updates while my husband and I were away for a weekend. Would love to use her again. We highly recommend!”
About: Hi, I’m Cynthia ! I’m a young professional with a love for all animals looking to spread and gain some joy through my love for animals. At a party, you can spot this vegan in the corner spending time with the family's dog. Driven by a deep affection for dogs and a desire to enhance my physical health, I decided to explore dog walking and dog sitting services. This endeavor is not only a refreshing diversion from my corporate tech job but also a meaningful way to contribute beyond the confines of my computer. It’s a step towards a healthier lifestyle and a gesture of giving back to the world. --- I had my own little friend and we spent 12 years together. He battled a few medical issues making me equipped to handle any special needs of your dog. Every dog I meet, I am reminded of him. I’d like to think he is always beside me. Additionally, I spend time volunteering at animal shelters. Check out Bideawee! 🐾 --- I believe that every dog deserves personalized attention. My approach is tailored to each dog’s personality and needs, ensuring they feel comfortable, loved, and engaged during our walks. I provide nurturing care for puppies, ensuring safe and positive walks that cater to their curiosity. For senior dogs, I offer a peaceful companionship, mindful of their slower pace and physical needs. --- Please let me know if your dog has any special needs or requires extra attention. I am highly experienced in senior dog care and am always happy to accommodate their specific routines. **Some of the conditions I have hands-on experience managing include: - Insulin administration: Experienced with strict schedules and monitoring for diabetic dogs (which I did for our own beloved family pup) - Pancreatitis: Familiar with strict dietary management and flare-up prevention - Cognitive Decline: Patient and understanding with early-onset canine dementia - Sensory Impairments: Adept at navigating and comforting blind or deaf dogs ------ Above all, my connection with dogs is heart-driven. I strive to ensure every dog in my care feels like the most special pup in the world 💖 🕒 Work-Life Balance: Working from home means I’m never too far from a wagging tail. My flexible WFH schedule works well with any spontaneity needs. 📅 Weekend: Weekends are for adventure! Whether it’s a hike in the trails or simply a walk around the quiet neighborhood, I make sure your dog experiences the excitement and stimulation they crave. 🏠 Home Sweet Home: Above all, my home is a haven of love and care, where pets are treated as cherished family members. With me, every pet enjoys a routine filled with affection, attention, and the utmost care. I live in a small cozy apartment so they will be under watch 24/7.
“Elizabeth took excellent care of my cat and rabbits the second time while I was away. She accommodated all my requests and made sure all of them stayed happy. 🥰🤩She truly cares for the furbabies and it shows! :)”
“Desiree is excellent!! I feel so much relief knowing my cat has the best time with her 💗 She is a strong communicator, provides amazing cat content while she visits, and is so sweet :)) Highly recommend!”
“Shanna did an amazing job caring for my cats while I was away on a much-needed vacation. From our initial meeting, my cats took to her right away, which was such a relief! She was very responsive and shared thoughtful, detailed updates in each Rover card. I genuinely looked forward to reading them after every visit. It was clear she cared for Skylar & Jackson as if they were her own. I was able to feel at ease during my trip because I knew they were in good hands. Highly recommend!”
About: I am a rising second year veterinary student at LIU post. I love caring for and meeting new cats and dogs and have several years of experience working with animals in a variety of settings. I have worked in shelters, boarding facilities, and in veterinary clinics. I also have experience administering medications. Thank you for reading my profile and I look forward to meeting you and your furry friend(s)! I am a current graduate student on summer break so my availability for the next few months is flexible and I can work around your schedule. I am a reliable, responsible, and communicative caretaker. I know as a pet sitter you are trusting me not only with your beloved pet but are also welcoming me into your home so I want to be respectful of your space. I also know that routine is important for a pet so I will follow all instructions carefully and try to make your pet as comfortable as possible!
“Keoma provided excellent care for my three cats. I appreciated her consistent communication and punctuality especially since I have been burned before by other sitters. Most importantly, my cats were happy and healthy when I returned, which speaks volumes about the quality of care she provided!”
About: Hi! My name is Neil D. Wallace and I love dogs. Dogs make me happy. My favorite dogs are Blue Staffies and Pugs. I have most experience walking Doodles, Pitbulls, Huskies and Chihuahas. I also communicate everything, and promise an open book attitude with owners. All hours until i book my next show. This is just a side hustle when demand is low in the acting world, which will change, with my contribution. No matter what dog I take care of, there is always one thing in common. The owner is always right. Even if I think something might work better for the pups, the owner knows best; open communication is key.
About: I have experience caring for dogs of different sizes, ages, and personalities, and I’m comfortable following specific routines, feeding schedules, and care instructions. I know how important it is to have peace of mind, so I’ll keep you updated with photos and messages during every visit or walk. I’m dependable, patient, and attentive to each dog’s unique needs. Whether your furry friend loves long walks, playing fetch, or simply taking their time to sniff every tree, I’ll make sure they have a great experience. As a teacher, I am currently off for the summer and have a very flexible schedule. I am available all days of the week, including weekdays and weekends, for walks, drop-ins, and pet sitting. During the school year, my availability is more limited, but I will always update my calendar in advance so pet parents can plan accordingly. I care for pets in my clients’ homes by following their established routines to help animals feel comfortable and secure in their familiar environment. I make sure to provide fresh food and water, regular walks or playtime, litter box or potty breaks, and plenty of attention and affection based on each pet’s personality and needs. I also keep the home tidy, respect all instructions, and send updates with photos so you always know how your pet is doing while you’re away.
“Val was great!! Communicative and reliable — a true cat lover! We appreciated that she stayed to play with the cats for a while and didn’t just feed them and leave. ”
“Peggy was wonderful with Koda! She was dependable, communicative, and sent great updates and Rover cards during her visits. We felt completely at ease knowing Koda was in good hands. Highly recommend!”
About: I have experience caring for dogs and cats, including feeding, walking, playtime, and providing companionship. I’m very attentive when it comes to routines, comfort, and I always prioritize safety and patience. I treat every pet as if they were my own and understand how important trust is when caring for someone’s beloved animal. I’m open to caring for pets of any age or disability, and providing as much attention as needed. I have a college classes(online and face to face) throughout the week and a part time job( mainly 10-15 hours) but i mainly stay at home so i am able to pay attention to your pet at all times. If you’re comfortable with it i love to take them with me for small errands or nice views just so they are not left alone at home. I live in a very walkable town. Your pet will be able to roam freely around the house if needed, and/or have their own space if they are shy. I’m capable of moving things around for comfortability. Pets will never be left unattended for long periods of time. I don’t own additional dogs or cats but i have rabbits kept in their own secure caged space. I can and WILL follow all care instructions. I would be happy to provide updates and photos at any time.
“Ozzy was an amazing sitter for my four cats! My girlfriend and I felt at ease while away visiting family knowing that he was checking in on our cats, and even giving my diabetic cat his meds. All the cats loved Ozzy and I would highly recommend booking with him!”
About: NYC AREA ONLY! I must be able to reach your address via transit. Due to transit times, I may not be able to take a last-minute request. **Dogs I have 17 years of experience, cats I grew up with and rabbits I have 7 years with** I had the pleasure of owning a big beautiful rottweiler greater swiss mountain dog boy for many years until I lost him to cancer. I also grew up with cats! Check out my kitty profile to see my best friend, an orange tabby boy. He made it all the way to high school putting up with me before it was his time to go. Losing him was as hard as losing my college best friend, my rottie mix. . Outside of that, I professionally raised, trained, and showed rabbits for a decade and had a professional show horse while I was in college. With the passing of my big rottie boy, I couldnt bring myself to have a new dog and my schedule is too busy to own another these days so instead I offer my services to help other busy pet owners. I have worked with pit bulls, huskies, stubborn shepherds, all kinds of dogs from volunteering at shelters to taking care of friends dogs while they were out of town to just helping neighbors get in potty breaks and walks for elderly pet owners who cant always go for long walks. . I am in my later 30s and have experience in the hospitality industry, corporate security industry, airline industry, and medical field (ex FF/Medic). Your pet is like one of your kids- their safety and security matters as much as someone who understands animal body language. Your dog and I can work on basic things like leash manners while on our walk (its all included if they need it). Im available to take dogs out for walks in my free time. Must book at least 24 hours in advance. I will update my availability based on my primary job schedule, any time I am out of town, or unavailable due to personal life appointments. I do not offer in my home sitting (I live in a condo and the HOA does not allow large pets in this facility/only service animals). I am a will check on your pet house call and on the go dog walker only. If your dog does not have a harness, I will NOT be walking your dof for their OWN safety. Dogs can easily slip out of leashes. It also helps them with leash manners and allows me better control of them if I needed to move them quickly from a situation. I prefer to walk dogs away from busy roads/busy intersections and will take advantage of any nature trails nearby. Dog parks can be stressful on dogs, so unless your dog has playmates that it regularly sees at a specific dog park, I will not take your dog to an unfamiliar area and let them run free with other dogs where they could become involved in a fight. Generally, I walk them around their local neighborhood or on a nature trail. NO car rides (I dont even have a car). Your dog always stays close to home and in a familiar environment. Treats will be used for positive reinforcement but due to dogs having food allergies, I DO NOT provide treats. All owners must provide their OWN pet-specific "safe treats" and note ANY restrictions such as "Only one or two whole treats" or for bigger dogs, "5 cookies max" (these are just generic examples, its up to you to know your pets diet and leave instructions for what your pet needs). CATS- same deal, although cats typically wont take treats from strangers so don't be offended or surprised if you find kitty crunchies left untouched. Kitty churus/"tubes"- if your cat cannot have the whole tube, please leave a ziplock baggie that I can put the remainder of the tube in. I will only squeeze out the directed amount and then place the tube in the baggie and leave it in your fridge so it doesnt spoil from the coastal heat/humidity and so bugs cant get in it.
“Leaving another five star review to thank Dayanara for her services. She did an amazing job giving us peace of mind for our two cats while we were away for a couple weeks on vacation. She double checked our automated water and feeder were always topped up, and went out of her way to make sure our automatic vacuum was seated properly in it's dock. I haven't trusted anyone else on any platform to watch my cats for the past few years and we're beyond lucky she was still available this past month. Thanks Dayanara!”

Dog parents share their Rover experiences - East Rockaway
Caroline was absolutely wonderful! Milo and I are so happy we found her. He had a great time taking a nice walk, and playing with her, and he was so comfortable and happy he didn’t want her to leave ! I highly recommend Caroline to anyone looking for a reliable, caring and loving dog sitter.
Alex was wonderful. I can’t recommend him enough! He took amazing care of my dog while we were away and treated her like she was his own. She can be stubborn on walks, but he was incredibly patient and somehow got her walking calmly and politely on a leash. It was obvious he genuinely cared about her and took the time to work with her instead of just watching her. I came home to a happy, well-cared-for dog, and I couldn’t be more grateful. I’ll definitely be using him again and would recommend him to anyone looking for someone trustworthy, knowledgeable, and great with dogs.
Lisa is an incredibly kind and caring dog sitter. My dog Latte gets so excited every time he sees her, which says everything about how loved and comfortable he feels in her care. She’s attentive, patient, and truly treats him like her own. She’s also very reliable with giving medications and always makes sure his needs are fully taken care of. It gives me so much peace of mind knowing he’s with someone so thoughtful, trustworthy, and compassionate. I highly recommend Lisa to anyone looking for exceptional care for their pets.

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 Rockaway 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 Rockaway 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.
