About: I have had multiple dogs of various breeds over the last 20 years. I have been responsible for being a nurturing dog sitter for over 5+ years. Dogs are friends to me and spending time with them makes me happy. I am very good at making dogs feel safe, loved, and cared for. I am available almost all day every day aside from Thursday and Wednesday's 9-5. Essentially even then I am pretty flexible so feel free to reach out. I have a fenced yard as well as two adorable dogs that utilize it for outside running and bathroom space. The dogs are let out to run as the please however I keep my eyes on them until it is time to be brought back inside.
About: Use the code “KAYLAB50701” for $20 off your first booking. Hi, My name is Kayla but some people call me Kay. I am twenty seven years old. I have been babysitting/petsitting since the age of seventeen and have loved every minute of it. I have a BA in psychology. I enjoy arts and crafts, reading, shopping, board games, and long walks. I work as a paraprofessional and due to summers off, I have lots of time on my hands, looking to earn some extra income as well as spend time with some fur babies. My goal as a sitter is to assist parents by providing a safe and loving environment for their pets in order to give them peace of mind from day to day. I am a fun, curious, and reliable young lady. I hope I will be a great fit for your family and look forward to meeting you.
About: I’ve been caring for my two Huskies and my neighbors dogs for years, giving me hands-on experience with energetic, intelligent dogs that require regular exercise, structure, and attention. I understand the importance of maintaining routines, providing safe and enjoyable walks, and making sure pets feel comfortable and well cared for. I treat every dog with patience, kindness, and the same level of care I give my own. Pet care is a regular part of my daily routine since I care for my two Huskies every day. On weekdays, I’m available for evening walks, drop-in visits, and overnight care. On weekends, I have much more flexibility and can provide longer walks, daytime care, and pet sitting. I always make time to give pets the attention, exercise, and care they deserve. My priority is always your pet’s safety, comfort, and happiness. I carefully follow each owner’s instructions, including feeding schedules, exercise routines, medications (if needed), and any special preferences. I make sure pets always have fresh water, plenty of attention, and a safe environment. During walks, I stay alert, use secure leashes, and avoid unsafe situations. I treat every home with respect and every pet as if they were my own.

“Tatiana is the best. This is the second time she takes care of our elderly cat and we feel so lucky to have her while away. Would highly recommend her for your pets.

About: Hi! I’m an orthodontic assistant and part-time college student working toward becoming an orthodontist. I absolutely love animals, especially dogs and cats, and enjoy spending time with them. I’ve walked and cared for dogs before, including a friendly Goldendoodle, and I’m committed to making sure every pet feels safe, loved, and well cared for while you’re away. Working with children every day has taught me to be patient, attentive, and dependable qualities I bring when caring for pets, too. Whether your pet needs a walk, playtime, cuddles, or someone to stick to their routine, I’ll treat them with the same care and kindness I would my own. In my free time, I also enjoy baking, and I truly love taking care of others, whether they’re people or pets! Pet care fits naturally into my routine because I’m used to balancing work, school, and responsibilities. I’m available on weekends, have a 7-hour break between classes on Tuesdays and Thursdays, and I’m free in the evenings on Fridays. I enjoy spending my free time caring for animals, going on walks, and giving pets the attention and affection they need. I’m reliable, patient, and happy to work with owners to fit their pet’s routine. When caring for pets in their home, I focus on keeping their routine as consistent and comfortable as possible. I follow the owner’s instructions for feeding, walks, medication (if needed), playtime, and any specific preferences their pet has. I make sure pets get plenty of attention, exercise, and affection while also respecting their space and home. My goal is to help pets feel safe and cared for while their owners are away

The goal is always to make sure they feel cared for and safe.

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 Far 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.
