About: Hi! I’m Cassandra, a caring, reliable, and experienced dog lover who has grown up caring for dogs and understands how much love, patience, and attention they need. I currently have a 6-year-old Bichon Shih Tzu who is a big part of my family, so I’m very comfortable with daily walks, playtime, cuddles, and keeping a pup happy and comfortable. I’ll treat your dog with the same care and affection I give my own, while making sure every walk and sit is safe, fun, and stress-free! 🐾 if you are happy with my services, tips are greatly appreciated. I work part time in Huntington. I work Tuesday through Friday in office and Thursday’s remote, 10-4 Weekends are free, and Mondays I am off. I am very personable with animals and their parents. I take a lot of time and care into my work with pets and people, and their homes too.
About: Hello everybody, I am a young energetic person who works with kids in a daycare center.I have three furbabies myself so I understand the stress of leaving them alone.I know cats are different and some may hide,while others may come out to greet you.It just takes some time for the cat to trust you and cuddle with you.
“Kimberly is great!! I’m so happy to have someone I can trust to spend time with my dog, Winnie, for walks and drop-in visits. I appreciated her communication and the thorough updates. Looking forward to booking more visits soon!”
“Stephanie is an absolute sweetheart! I could tell she treated Saint with so much care, as if he was her own pet. ( which I love ) I will definitely be using her again for her help in the future. Not only is Stephanie nice and friendly, but she followed all the directions I left for her. Thanks 🙏”
About: While caring for two big doodles of her own, Madie has spent the last 6 years on Rover as a dedicated and excited walker! As a spunky Fashionista, and Musical Theatre major from Atlanta GA, she’s outgoing and works well with any breed, age, household, and attitude! Madie wants to get to know your fluffy friend next! I’m currently in school at LIU in New York and come home to Georgia for breaks. I am able to care for your fluffy friends about 5 days a week! Including walking, playing, feeding and more!! If your pet is home alone and needs some playtime I am available to come hangout with them and maybe even bring my own dogs for some company!
“Karen is great! You can tell she’s a dog person right away :) we were immediately comfortable leaving Daisy with her & she loved her immediately. Thank you for taking good care of our pup, Karen!”
“Tori is the best!!!! I am out of the country and she has made me feel so comfortable knowing my babies have her to watch and care for them. I cannot thank her enough, I really recommend her for the care of your pets.”
About: I have years of experience caring for dogs of all ages, including puppies and seniors. I’m skilled in basic training, medication administration, and understanding each pet’s unique needs. What sets me apart is my calm, reliable nature and genuine love for animals. I treat every pet like family and always prioritize their safety, comfort, and happiness. I’m available for pet care before 9:30 AM and after 4:30 PM Monday through Thursday. My weekends are flexible, making it easy to accommodate walks, drop-ins, or extended care based on your needs. I’m happy to work around your schedule whenever possible! I prioritize safety by carefully following each pet’s routine and ensuring a secure environment, whether in my home or yours. I keep spaces clean, pet-proofed, and calm. I build trust through consistency, gentle handling, and clear communication with pet owners. I never leave pets unattended during visits and always monitor their behavior closely. Creating a stress-free, loving environment is my top priority, so pets feel safe, happy, and right at home.
“I highly recommend Jessica! This is the second time she has watched my dogs. I have to hire someone to give my dog his meds at night if I am not around, and I trust her to do it! She is very kind and keeps you updated during the check in.”
About: I have owned both cats and big and small dogs and am experienced in training, raising, and taking care of all types of dogs in various states of health and ages. I love all animals! I work part time as I am applying to masters programs right now, so I will have plenty of time for dog walks and animal drop ins! I do not offer boarding or day care at my own house because of the multiple outdoor cats and other animals (like raccoons) in my neighborhood.
About: Our pets change our lives for the better and I want to make sure they’re well taken care of too. By making connections via talking, playing, training, and grooming I pride myself in providing full care for my furry friends. I make training fun and learn their individual strengths! Pet care is an essential part in my daily routine. Each day begins by walking my pup, refreshing her water and food bowls. At the end of the day, I’m cleaning and prepping to start out routine over, putting toys away and doing our last walk of the night. I love taking my pups out downtown or to the dog park. If it’s dog-friendly, why aren’t we bringing the beans?! Everyone is always happy, fed, hydrated, and well played with. Pet hygiene and environmental cleanliness go hand in hand. I like to make sure I’m keeping my home clean for my pets. After all they play, lounge, and sleep in our home. The least we can do is make sure the space is free of dangerous objects or potential choking hazards. We also use pet gates in our home to ensure pet safety when cooking/cleaning/moving furniture.
About: I've helped take care of my special needs dog for 15 years, including walking her, feeding her, giving her medication, and playing with her. I'm great with dogs of all ages and would love to help walk your furry friend! I currently work a 9-5 full-time job in social media and I'm able to walk (or run) your dog in the morning or evenings! I work from home on Mondays, Tuesdays and Fridays but depending on timing on Wednesdays and Thursdays I can help. I'm a big runner, so if your dog enjoys going on runs I'd love to run with them! I unfortunately am unable to dog sit and watch your dog in my own house, but I am able to take your dog for walks and/or runs when needed or do drop-in visits for dogs and/or cats.
About: I have owned pets since I was 4 years old. I have worked in the veterinary field since I was sixteen and am starting my 2nd year of veterinary school at Long Island University. Over the years I have pet sit for a total of 25 different dogs, 15 cats, a bearded dragon, a hamster, guinea pigs, and a turtle. I am able to medicate any dogs or cats, as well as give any injections needed (ex. insulin). I also have experience at a dog daycare where I was in charge of over 40 dogs of all sizes in one large yard together. I am currently working full time at UrgentVet and work second shift so I am available in the mornings or any time on my days off. When school starts at the end of August, I will be able to work around my class schedule and make adjustments as needed for your pet. I care for pets as if they are my own. I make sure they are comfortable and keep their daily routine that they are used to, to make sure everything goes as smooth as possible.
About: I have six years of hands-on pet-care experience and have cared for both dogs and cats for friends and family. I’m also a devoted dog owner to my Shih Tzu, Pebbles, whom I have raised since he was a puppy. I understand how important it is to trust the person caring for your pet, so I treat every animal with the same patience, attention, and affection I give my own. I enjoy walks, playtime, feeding, basic grooming, and keeping pets comfortable and entertained. I carefully follow each owner’s instructions and their pet’s established routine, and I’m happy to provide regular photos and updates for peace of mind. Pet care fits naturally into my routine, and I maintain a flexible schedule for walks, drop-in visits, and overnight care. I keep my Rover calendar updated and do my best to accommodate both advance and last-minute requests. I’ll always confirm that I can fully commit to your pet’s schedule before accepting a booking. Your pet’s safety, comfort, and happiness are my highest priorities. Before each booking, I like to learn about their temperament, routine, triggers, and any medical or behavioral needs. I carefully follow all feeding, walking, medication, and household instructions. I also pay close attention to secure doors, gates, leashes, and interactions with other animals. I’m happy to arrange a meet-and-greet and provide regular photos and updates throughout the booking.

Incredible service! Jessica is everything you want when getting someone to look after your dog! She’s thoughtful and kind and really gave great attention and care to our Kiedis who gets a little down when we have to leave town! Couldn’t ask for better help and highly recommend especially if you have an older dog or a dog that needs a like extra attention!
Emily was wonderful with our pets! Our dog can take some time to warm up to new people, and Emily was so patient and persistent with her — by the end, you could tell she absolutely loved her. She kept us updated throughout the whole stay with photos and messages, which gave us total peace of mind. It was clear from the pictures that both our pets were happy, comfortable, and having a great time playing with her. We'll definitely be booking Emily again!
Kaylee watched our 2 large shepherds and she was fantastic. Our dogs are very hyper dogs and both anxious in their own ways so we never feel the best leaving them with new people but Kaylee took lots of photos, our dogs were super happy and we felt so confident leaving them in her care. We will definitely use her again and recommend her to anyone looking for a loving sitter for your fur babies!
Talia is warm, attentive, timely, and a big animal lover. Our stubborn, and often aloof, shiba warmed right up to her, which is a major win in our books. And our very shy cat immediately came out of his cave to let her give him pets. You’re in very good hands with Talia’s care!

Whether you’re at the office for the day or traveling for a few nights, a pet sitter can offer potty breaks during a Glen Head stroll, cleaning the litter box, or making sure your pet has on-time food or water refills.

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 Glen Head 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.

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

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.

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.
