“Elizabeth was amazing with my cat Robin! She left me photos and video updates and followed my instructions to the T. She also was amazing with Robin, playing with her and caring for her genuinely out of a place of love and not just because it’s her job. I would highly recommend Elizabeth to anyone who wants their pet in truly good hands while they are away.”


“Shibo was absolutely amazing! I have two male cats, and one of them I had just adopted 10 days before leaving for my trip. He was very skittish when I first got him, but he warmed up to Shibo right away. My other cat took a liking to him immediately as well—who wouldn’t! Shibo was so wonderful, giving my cats the attention they needed while I was away. In the past, I relied on neighbors and people just stopping by to feed and check on them, but my experience with Shibo has completely changed my perspective. It is worth every penny to have someone as great as him looking after your fur babies! When I returned, I could see the difference in my fluffy companions in the best way as this is very early in their introduction phase. I had peace of mind knowing they were well cared for. Shibo provided fantastic updates and beautiful photos, making it clear that my cats had a wonderful time with their new friend. I have full trust in Shibo as I also came home to find everything exactly as I expected. I highly recommend Shibo for anyone looking for a trustworthy and caring pet sitter! Especially cats.”

“Thank you, Brianna, for taking care of my elderly cats for two weeks! Usually, when I leave them, they get upset and could pee all over and make a mess. At this time, I came back to the clean apartment, and my cats were healthy and cheerful 😻.”

About: Hello! My name is Julissa. I have so much love for all pets and animals. Growing up, i’ve always had a dog in the house, and they were always such an important member of our family. It’s been about five years since I’ve had a dog of my own. My last dog’s name was Sasha. We adopted her when she was six and had her until she was about thirteen. She was so smart, loving, and anxious when we first got her so our first few years together were spent establishing trust. Eventually we managed to off-leash train and we worked a lot on her recall so that we could enjoy longer walks and outdoor activities while ensuring that she always felt safe in her environment. At home we set her bed up in the kitchen, where we would pass our time cooking and spending a lot of quality time together. I had so many good years with my Sasha, and since she passed I have genuinely missed spending time with animals on a consistent basis. Since then, most if not all of my friends and family have entrusted me with taking care of their animals when they are busy or traveling, so I’ve had a lot of experience with many different pets and their varying needs/personalities. I work freelance as an artist. I am a musician, so I often stay at home practicing or composing. However most of my work is in the film industry, and this work ranges from smaller independent projects to network television. Although I do work on set sometimes, I try to take on as many post-production gigs as possible, so I often find myself sitting behind a desk all day. I have always made it a priority to work in a field that I am passionate about, and my decision to work with Rover has been no different. Caring for animals is not only something I am passionate about, but also a wonderful opportunity to go on walks and spend quality time with pets. I will always be very clear about any changes in my work schedule if those are to arise, but my reliability and dedication never wavers I have a fenced in yard and plenty of spaces in the house for your pet to wander and feel comfortable. I am also very trust worthy, organized, communicative, and extremely eager to work with you!

About: What truly sets me apart is my lifelong, hands-on experience as a devoted pet parent — especially with senior dogs and emotionally sensitive pets. I cared for my beloved senior dog Rocki for 14 years, supporting him through every stage of life, including the extra patience, gentleness, and attentiveness senior dogs need. Today, I share my life with my dog River and also help care for my partner’s 16-year-old senior dog, so I am very comfortable with senior care, slower mobility, routine-based needs, and gentle handling. I’m highly attentive to body language, emotional comfort, and stress signals, which helps me support anxious, sensitive, or aging dogs in a calm and reassuring way. My home provides a safe, structured, and loving environment where dogs can feel secure and relaxed. I’m also patient and consistent with younger dogs, helping reinforce routines, calm behavior, and positive habits through gentle guidance and structure. Every dog in my care is treated like family with safety, emotional awareness, patience, and genuine love. Pet care is a natural part of my daily life. I structure my days around consistent walks, feeding schedules, playtime, and calm rest periods for my own dog, River, as well as my partner’s senior dog. Because caring for animals is already part of my everyday routine, I’m able to provide dependable, attentive, and structured care for pets staying with me. I prioritize supervision, emotional comfort, and routine so every dog feels safe, relaxed, and cared for throughout the day. In my home, pets are treated like family in a calm, safe, and loving environment. I follow each dog’s normal routine closely, including feeding, potty breaks, walks, playtime, medication (if needed), and plenty of rest and comfort. I pay close attention to body language, emotional needs, and stress signals to ensure every dog feels secure and relaxed. My home includes a fenced backyard for safe outdoor time, cozy indoor rest areas, and close supervision throughout the day. In a client’s home, I respect their space and maintain their pet’s established routine to keep them comfortable and stress-free. I provide gentle, attentive care, ensure safety, and send regular updates with photos so pet parents always feel reassured while they’re away.
“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: Animals seem to naturally feel safe around me—maybe it’s my calm energy or my soft voice. I’ve cared for both dogs and cats of all ages, including shy rescues, energetic puppies, and slow-moving seniors. I pay close attention to their body language, routines, and needs, and I always approach each pet with patience, presence, and respect. I’ve taken care of friends’ dogs and cats many times—whether it’s daily walks, playtime, giving meds, or just being there for extra cuddles. I’m especially attuned to each pet’s energy and comfort level, which helps even shy or anxious pets feel safe with me. I also have cats of my own, so I know how important routine, gentleness, and trust are. What sets me apart is my ability to create a quiet, comforting space for pets to feel secure while their humans are away. I don’t just “watch” them—I keep them company, help them regulate, and make sure they feel loved and safe. Caring for animals has always been a natural part of my life. Whether I’m at home with my own cats or looking after a friend’s dog, it blends easily into my daily rhythm. I work from home with a flexible schedule, so I’m able to give pets the time, attention, and presence they deserve—whether that means walks, feeding, or simply hanging out and keeping them company. When I’m walking your dog, I treat it like their time to enjoy the world—lots of sniffing, steady pacing, and checking in with how they’re feeling. I’m always alert, use secure gear, and steer clear of anything that might stress them out. No distractions, just full attention on your pup. If I’m staying in your home, I try to keep everything feeling familiar and calm. I follow your pet’s routine closely—meals, meds, play, or just chill time—and stay mindful of how they’re doing emotionally, too. I move gently through your space and treat both your home and your pet with care and respect, like I would my own.

About: I’m currently in my second year of veterinary school at TuftsVet. I’ve had extensive animal experience as a result, including 500+ hours in a veterinary clinic. I’ve also worked full-time for a year at a veterinary pharmacy, and part-time as a kennel assistant at a dog and cat daycare where I mostly boarded, walked, and socialized with the dogs. I love animals, and want to give them the best care because that’s what they deserve! I unfortunately am only available until August, but my schedule over the summer is very flexible. The only day I am strictly unavailable are Sundays, but otherwise from 11am-7pm I am free. Check-ins will include checking their food/water, general status, and of course, playtime! Any instructions that the owner leaves will be followed and photos of the pet will be sent to the owner during check-ins.
“Ari provides an exceptional dog walking service that I wholeheartedly recommend. His reliability, caring approach, and commitment to safety makes him stand out. With excellent communication and professionalism, he ensures peace of mind for me and Coby. 10/10 would recommend.”
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.
“Madison is an amazing dog sitter. She takes great care of my pets. She has great response time and is always updating and communicating. I highly recommend Madison and will be using her again in the future.”

“Thank you so so much Soraya!! You take care of our zoo of a household (lol)- 3 cats, 2 fish, and a turtle with such care and dedication. You have given us peace of mind every single time we’re away. Your detailed pet visit cards and photos gave us that little piece of home from oceans away we always need. Also, thank you for being so flexible working around time differences and late messages!! We will be sure to reach out for any and all future trips, we know our girls will miss you till your next visit ❤️”

About: I’m a full time speech-language pathologist who loves spending my free time staying active - and nothing motivates me to get my daily steps in quite like a happy dog or cat by my side. I’ve cared for dogs and cats of all ages for friends, family, and neighbors, and I’m looking to add more pet time (and snuggles!) into my routine. Whether your pet needs a long walk, gentle company, playtime, or medication reminders, I’m your girl! I also know how important it is to feel confident while you’re away, so I provide consistent communication and plenty of photo updates. My goal is to make sure your pet feels safe, happy, and loved while I get my daily dose of fresh air - and furry cuddles! I’m currently working full time as a speech language pathologist at a developmental preschool. My regular hours are 8-4 during the week. So I am available weekends and after my work hours from 4-8. I believe every pet deserves attentive, loving care, and I’m committed to making animals feel safe, comfortable, and happy while their owners are away. I take time to learn each pet’s unique personality - whether they’re energetic, shy, playful, or a professional napper - and tailor my care to what makes them feel best.
About: I'm an incredibly active individual. I love to lift weights, practice martial arts, hike, and go on runs. This allows me to be an excellent fit for a dog whose energy levels are high. If you'd prefer for me to not just take your dog to the bathroom, but provide them a good amount of exercise as well, I'm a great fit! When I'm not taking care of dogs I work as a writer, director, and editor on films, social media videos, and commercials. If you've ever wanted any photos or videos of you and your four legged friend (or just them) I can provide high quality images/videos for you as well whether you want to just show off to your friends and family or just to have status updates on how your dog is doing. Because I work freelance my schedule tends to be flexible and allows me to set my own hours usually. I will work with you as best as I can to fit your needs within my schedule. I treat dogs very similarly to how I treat people. I show them a great deal of respect, empathy, and love. I do tend to spoil my own dog here and there, but I also try to love him as unconditionally as he does to me. A golden rule I try to follow is treat others the way you want to be treated. Another golden rule I try to follow is to see myself in others. I also apply these two golden rules to my encounters with pets and nature in general.
About: I’ve grown up with 3 dogs living in the house; looking for some company from some furry friends! I am a super gentle and loving person ◡̈ I am a homebody and would love a furry companion to keep me company throughout the week, will provide snackies and lots of belly rubs! This is a non-smoking house in a quiet neighborhood, your furry friend would get as many walks for as long as needed :) As well as being allowed to go on furniture!

About: Hi there, my name is Christina 👋🏻 I am currently a full time dog walker and have been for the past 3 years now.

Dog parents share their Rover experiences - Great Neck
I found Michelle on short notice when the weather was predicting thunder all day, and Ishby can be alone for a few hours but is scared of thunder. Michelle was easy to communicate with, understanding and trying to make things work for me as best she could even as the weather forecast was changing. When she came for the meet n greet, it was clear she has a way with dogs and Ishby got used to her quickly. She was in touch throughout the visit, took lots of pictures, fed Ishby as I asked her to, and I felt like my baby was in good hands. Grateful for Michelle's help!

I can’t say enough good things about Jahrian! He took such amazing care of our dog while we were away. From the regular updates and photos to the genuine love and attention he gave, it was clear our pup was in great hands. We came home to a happy, relaxed dog—which says it all. Reliable, communicative, and clearly an animal lover. Highly recommend to anyone looking for a trustworthy and caring sitter!

A pet sitter can provide focused care sessions, help your pet’s routine stay on track, or keep you updated on your pet’s mood and energy levels.
Whether you’re at the office for the day or traveling for a few nights, a pet sitter can offer potty breaks during a Great Neck 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 Great Neck 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 Great Neck with recurring or weekly availability, select "Repeat Weekly" and which days you’d like them to care for your pet.

Use the search filters to narrow down sitters whose specific experience or environment meets your pet's needs. When reaching out to your sitter, outline your pet's care routine and use the Meet & Greet to walk your sitter through your expectations.
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.
