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.
“Samantha was amazing with my puppy Henry! She as patient and kind and kept in contact with me to update me on his status during her drop in visit! I know he’s in good hands with her during his weekly visits”

About: What sets me apart is the personal care and attention I give to every pet. I don’t believe in a one-size-fits-all approach—I take the time to learn each pet’s personality, routine, and individual needs. I’m dependable, attentive, and experienced with dogs and cats of different ages, personalities, and care requirements. I also believe communication with pet parents is just as important as caring for their pets, so I provide updates and photos to keep you informed and at ease. My goal is for every pet to feel safe, comfortable, loved, and genuinely cared for while you’re away. I care for every pet as an individual, following their normal routine and giving them plenty of attention, exercise, playtime, and affection. I make sure they are fed and cared for according to their owner’s instructions, have fresh water, and receive any medications or special care they need. I also pay close attention to their behavior and comfort so I can recognize if something seems unusual. Most importantly, I want every pet to feel safe, comfortable, and loved while they’re in my care. I keep their families updated so they can feel confident knowing their pets are happy and well cared for. Pet care is a big part of my daily life, both personally and professionally. I run my own pet-sitting and dog-walking business, so caring for animals is something I genuinely love and am committed to every day. My schedule is built around providing walks, drop-in visits, overnight care, feeding, medication, playtime, and plenty of attention to the pets in my care. I enjoy getting to know each pet’s individual personality and routine and making sure they feel safe, comfortable, and loved while their families are away.

About: I absolutely adore animals and have taken care of many, all with different personalities and needs. I am accommodating and patient with all pets. I have taken care of older fragile dogs and active younger dogs. I volunteered at a cat shelter for a couple years as well, so I can understand their body language and care for them regardless. I’ve helped many shy animals socialize and they have warmed up to me. I am a college student with long gaps in my schedule, my college is local so I have plenty of time to stop by! Monday & Wednesday: 11 AM- 1:20 pm; anytime past 3:20 pm Tuesday: anytime before 11:50 AM; anytime past 4:40 pm Thursday: anytime before 11:50 AM; anytime past 6:30 pm Friday, Saturday, Sunday: anytime I will be able to change any water or food bowls, clean up potty mistakes.

About: I grew up with golden retrievers my whole life, and now have a spunky German shepherd mix added into our family. I am a highly trained veterinary receptionist of going on 5 years with extreme background knowledge of veterinary medicine. Will be able to tell beginning signs if your pet is unwell in my care. I work full-time as a veterinary receptionist but have three days off during the week as I work a long shifts. Fridays, I am off early at 3pm!

About: Hi, I’m Mindy — I run MindySits 🐾 I treat every pet like my own, simple as that. I’m patient, reliable, and pay attention to what each dog actually needs. Beyond pet sitting, I’m deeply involved in the rescue community and serve as a Foster Manager with BARRK Rescue, where I help oversee placements, guide fosters, and support dogs coming from difficult or uncertain backgrounds. This experience has given me a strong understanding of behavior, decompression, and how to meet each dog exactly where they are. Whether it’s walks or overnight care, I keep things calm, consistent, and make sure your pet is comfortable and well cared for. I’ll also keep you updated so you’re never wondering how things are going. Dependable care and a happy dog that’s always the goal 💛🐶 Hi! I work a hybrid schedule, home 2 days a week. My husband is home so your pup will rarely be alone. I have always been happiest with a dog close by. I live with my husband, daughter, and our dog Willie 🐾 We’re a calm, dog-loving home and I just really enjoy having animals around. I also help care for a senior dog, so I’m patient, gentle, and pay attention to what each dog needs. I’m easygoing but attentive, and I make sure every dog feels safe and comfortable while they’re with me
“This was our first time using Rover and Jessica was wonderful! She was very responsive, flexible and prompt for the visit times we requested. She was great with our cat and we very much appreciate the attentiveness and care she provided while we were away!”

About: As w most people here i have a love for animals and am on track for a career in veterinary medicine. I have a dog of my own but also have a wide range of skills with many different animals (rodent, reptiles, various exotics, etc) due to my experience working in and completing a two year BOCES program for veterinary medicine assisting which included dogs and cats ofc. I currently volunteer at a shelter walking the dogs there so I'm equipped to handle dogs of many sizes and temperaments. I also have experience working w cats of various sizes and temperaments from a separate shelter. I'm very good w adjusting my technique and handling for different animals in order to safely and properly handle them in the ways they need/ feel comfortable. Im confident in my skills and always willing to learn/ experience new situations. sooo yea im here☺️ I currently have a part-time job, but it has very flexible hours and while I am a student, I usually take these jobs on during breaks or downtime so I have open availability. I do personally have a fenced backyard and a dog back home usually if I’m hosting another dog I do my best to keep their schedules consistent but separate as my dog is very selective. Usually, I will do pet sitting at the other dog’s house where I can completely make sure that they are comfortable in their environment and follow their routine as close as possible.

About: I’ve taken responsibility of my own pets in my family for 10 years. Dog sat for my aunt for two years. Grew up with a Border Collie and two Dobermans! Trained my families new edition corgi, chow chow, and kelpie Shepard mix who’s now 2 years of age. I work part time as a college student finishing up my second semester before summer break. I’d love to walk or check in on any furry friends before/after my lectures and final semester!! I provide a safe, calm, and clean environment, following each pet’s routine closely. I respect their individual needs, ensure secure spaces, and give gentle, attentive care with regular updates.

“Lily has been watching our pups and house sitting for us for the last year and we are so lucky to have her! She takes amazing care of our three pups (a very shy and particular husky, a golden, and a super high energy Dutch shepherd). She manages each pups personality beautifully and all three love her, which is a big deal considering our girl dog is very particular with who she lets care for her! We never have to worry when we go away because we know that the dogs love Lily and she has a ton of experience to manage all of the different breeds and their needs! She also takes amazing care of our home and our fish while she’s here! We can’t recommend Lily highly enough!”

About: Hi! My name is Natasha. Total animal lover here—I have had several years of experience caring for my own pets as well as other people’s pets. In the past, I have had both a cat and dog of my own. Thank you for considering me because not only does helping you out make me happy but it also helps my mental health to hang out with your cutie pets! I am very frequently available! I would definitely be open to helping out on a regular or on a week-by-week basis. Thank you for your consideration! I care for pets with all the love and compassion I have. I am looking to go into other people’s homes as I’m unable to have pets come to mine at this time. Thanks so much!
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!
“Communication with Lisa was very easy. She arrived within the time window and took care of all of the details My very shy cat actually showed his face when she was around, which is good. When I arrived home, everything was neat and clean I will repeat”

“Mary was wonderful. I would recommend her to anyone looking for the perfect pet sitter. Upon meeting her, I knew immediately that my dogs would be well taken care of, and the pictures she sent me while I was away assured me that my dogs were very happy while in her care.”

Samantha is an excellent sitter. While we were away for more than a week, she sent photos and updates after each visit. Our dog is very comfortable in her care. Samantha is reliable, attentive and goes above & beyond. This was our second booking with her, and we will continue to book her as long as she is available.

Janhvi provided such great care to my dog, Gracie. She gave Gracie lots of attention and I had such peace of mind that my dog was in excellent hands. I was also grateful that at each visit she notified me and sent photos for me to see how happy Gracie was in her care.
Leaving your pets behind can be stressful, but with Suzanne, I have complete peace of mind. She looks after my two dogs with the exact same love, patience, and attention to detail that I do. She keeps me updated, manages their routines effortlessly, and my pups absolutely adore her—their tails start wagging the second they see her! If you are looking for someone reliable, trustworthy, and genuinely passionate about animals, look no further. I couldn't recommend her more highly!

Abigail was awesome with our two pups! She went above and beyond our expectations and would absolutely use her again when we need a dog sitter/walker. She was flexible and easy to communicate with and took such great care of our dogs. She updated us daily about them and sent us pictures. Thanks so much again! The pups already miss her!
Elaina has been taking care of Max and Coco 4 days a week for several months now and they both just adore her! I have found Elaina to be loving and attentive with both, even getting Max to take his medicine even though he is a pretty stubborn little man! Elaina has been great about communicating with me after each visit and has been super flexible in terms of our schedule. Simply put, you will not find a better friend and care giver for your pet! Thanks Elaina!!

Whether you’re at the office for the day or traveling for a few nights, a pet sitter can offer potty breaks during a Farmingdale 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.
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 Farmingdale 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.
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 .

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 Farmingdale with recurring or weekly availability, select "Repeat Weekly" and which days you’d like them to care for your pet.

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.
