“Michelle was amazing with Milo! This was our first time leaving him with someone else, so I was a little nervous, but she made the whole experience so much easier and more comfortable. She was very attentive, communicative, and clearly experienced with dogs, which gave me a lot of reassurance. I really appreciated the updates and how she made sure Milo felt safe and cared for. When I picked him up, he was happy and relaxed, which means everything to me as a dog mom. It was clear he was in good hands the entire time. The pickup and drop-off process was also smooth and convenient, which I loved. Overall, I had a great experience and would absolutely trust Michelle with Milo again!”
“Michelle was absolutely amazing. From the first message she was great. I explained to her all the backstory on my recently adopted rescue and she put us at ease right away. She was very understanding and didn’t shy away from a potentially skittish pup. She kept us updated regularly with messages and photos and put our minds at ease. I’m very happy with the care she provided my pup and would absolutely recommend her services if you’re in need of someone to watch out for your furry friend.”
“Aliyah was great with Toulouse. He’s a pretty nervous dog and was recovering from heat exhaustion and ripped up paws and she (and Deuce!) were incredibly loving, gentle, and patient with him.”
“We used Andrew to dog sit our 7 month old St. Berdoodle puppy Stewart, and our daughters 3 year old Old English Sheepdog, Oswald, while we hosted an enngagement party at our home. Everything was wonderful. Andrew was very accomodating and we met prior to the day to check out the house and have Stewart meet Andrew. The dogs were well cared for and happy when they returned home. We will definitely use Andrew again in the future!! Thank you Andrew!!!”
“Caitlyn was an excellent dog sitter. I could tell from all the tail wagging that my pup enjoyed her company very much. She sent me many pictures and updates! She also made sure to take him for a walk while in her care. I feel she cared for my dog as if he were her own, and I would definitely leave Oaklin in her care again.”
About: I have extensive experience caring for both dogs and cats, ensuring their safety, comfort, and happiness at all times. What sets me apart from other sitters is my attention to detail, patience, and genuine love for animals. I understand that every pet has its own personality and needs, so I take the time to follow specific routines, dietary requirements, and any special instructions you provide. I have my own e-commerce business so my schedule is very flexible - I work from home all day, therefore I'm able to care for your dog or cat and be by their side caring for their daily needs. I take dogs on walks at least three times throughout the day. I'm very detail oriented so I'll listen to exactly how you want me to care for your dog or cat, if they have a strict diet or certain important needs special to them. I'll be prompt and on time so as to not interfere in the clients schedule. I'll love them like their my own!
“Maizie had a wonderful day with Samantha! She took such great care of her and sent me plenty of feedback during the day. She even found her first lost tooth!!! Looking forward to using her again.”
“Ingrid was an amazing sitter for my 2 boys! St the very last minute, she gave an immediate yes and was graceful and attentive to all their needs. Ingrid sent pictures and videos throughout the entire visit and responded promptly to all my messages. They came home happy and well taken care of. We’ll definitely will be back! 🐾🐾”
“Stephanie was an incredible sitter for Ollie! She sent us photos of him throughout the day and kept us updated because he seemed a bit fearful at first. Stephanie’s care and love for pets shined through, and Ollie warmed up to her so quickly! I can’t recommend her enough and would absolutely hire her again.”

“Nachay was very accommodating and made our first sitter experience a breeze! She sits a few dogs already so Bentley had friends to keep him company! We took a day trip out of the state and weather delays/traffic made us later than the scheduled pickup time but Nachay made it easy. She also sent us pictures throughout the day and kept in contact with us. Will definitely be looking to book again! Thank you so much for taking good care of Bentley :)”
“Django is always happy to go to Joanna. She takes great care of him and receiving pictures throughout the day showing what Django is doing makes me feel great knowing that he is being well cared for. I highly recommend Joanna to care for your bestie.”
“Vanessa is a gem - responsive, polite, clean, caring, loving, and always available. We were looking for a pet sitter who could provide a loving and stable environment for our pup with separation anxiety, as we wanted to reduce his reliance on medication. Vanessa exceeded our expectations, providing a calm and nurturing presence that has greatly benefited our Blaze. We're grateful to have found her, and her care has given us peace of mind. If you're seeking a trustworthy and compassionate pet sitter, Vanessa is an excellent choice.”

“Trying to find a great babysitter has been one of the hardest thing I’ve ever had to do especially since I own a large breed puppy! Those feelings changed after I met Vanessa and her family. They are the most loving family I’ve ever met! I felt very assured that my german shepherd puppy was in good hands. I cannot thank Vanessa enough for the amazing service she has provided!”
About: Dogs have been a huge part of my life for the last 15 years, and caring for them is something I genuinely enjoy. I have experience with dogs of all ages, including seniors, and I provide a safe, comfortable home with a fully fenced yard, plenty of attention, and lots of love. My goal is to make your dog feel right at home while you're away. Pet care is built into my daily routine. I’m home throughout the day, so dogs get consistent potty breaks, meals, playtime, and supervision in a safe, fenced yard. I care for pets in a calm, safe home environment and follow their normal routine as closely as possible. This includes regular potty breaks, feeding, playtime, and rest. Dogs have access to a fully fenced yard and are supervised throughout the day. I adjust care based on each dog’s needs and any instructions provided by the owner.

Caitlin was wonderful with my Lucas. I highly recommend her. It was the first time I left Lucas with someone besides family for the day and Caitlin was fantastic! Lucas is an older dog and has special needs that Caitlin was able to provide. She sent photos and updates during his stay and took him for walks which he hadn’t done for some time and since then he has extra pep in his step and we are back to taking short walks. Lucas was in great hands with Caitlin and I will feel comfortable and have peace of mind leaving him in her care at the next opportunity.

Sitters on Rover can offer flexible scheduling, so you can coordinate times that work best for you and your pet—whether that’s early drop-off or later pick-up to match your East Rockaway commute.
If your schedule changes, it’s best to let your sitter know through the app as early as possible. Many sitters can adjust pick-up and drop-off times when needed.
Think of doggy day care as your dog’s fun, supervised play date that happens to fit into your workday. Day care through Rover takes place in a real home. This offers a calmer and more personalized environment for your pup.
A typical day can include companionship, one-on-one attention, and same day pick-up and drop-off. Many sitters can also offer structured routines and exercise throughout the day. For recurring, weekly day care, sitters will include photo updates so you can see your dog in their element.
Here are tips for finding the ideal day care fit for your dog:
- For some small dogs: In-home day care can be the perfect fit. Look for sitters whose "can host" section only lists dogs weighing 0–7 kilograms and/or 7–18 kilograms. During your Meet & Greet, ask about play areas based on dog size and energy level.
- For high-energy dogs: The ideal doggy day care can offer scheduled breaks and outdoor spaces or activities. You can also find sitters who host multiple dogs to satisfy your pup’s socializing needs.
- For dogs who prefer human-only companionship: Use the filters "Doesn't own a dog" and "Only accepts one pet at a time" to find the right care.
Play groups can be an option when you book with a day care sitter through Rover. Many sitters do host a small number of dogs at the same time. Smaller dog packs are generally safer, more fun, and ideal for dogs who enjoy playtime but also want to relax throughout the day. When looking for your dog’s pack, check the sitter’s profile to see if they "Accept multiple clients" or have their own dogs. Then during the Meet & Greet, you can see whether your dog is a good fit for their social circle!
While each sitter sets their own vaccine requirements, staying up-to-date on your dog’s vaccines is the best way to be "boarding ready". Vaccinations help create a safe environment for all pets under a sitter’s care.
Many sitters in NY ask that dogs be up to date on core vaccines like the Canine Parvovirus, Canine Distemper, Canine Adenovirus, Bordetella, and Rabies.
By discussing your pet's health history early, you’re adding a layer of confidence for you and your sitter before the booking begins.
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 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.
Yes, Rover is well-suited for finding sitters who can care for your pet within 24 hours. With 10,942 sitters in East Rockaway, 87% respond to messages in under an hour.
You can message multiple sitters simultaneously to find the fastest available match. If you need care today or tomorrow, you can look for sitters with a "calendar last updated" notice on their profiles.
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.
