“John did an amazing job taking care of our two labs for eight days! He treated our girls like his own. He was excellent with her multiple medical issues, including, my girls, diabetes, which requires injectable insulin twice a day. He sent us constant updates multiple times a day, which included photos and video! He was so respectful of staying in our home and left it clean and tidy after his visit. I highly recommend him- he gave us the peace of mind to enjoy our family dream vacation!”
“Charlee was wonderful! She took amazing care of our puggle, who is lovable, but also very high energy and head strong. We really appreciated the care and consideration she showed our dog and our home.”
About: I do volunteer at dog rescue all the time, that’s how I met our baby boy ROCCO. We’ve been together for 9 years and another 9 years more for sure ☑️ I am full time dog’s burtler. Currently we have 17 yr old mixed poodle gentlman at home. Taking him out for every 2 hours for potty. We go to oakland lake and Crocheron park everyday ! House locates on ground floor in the building + back yard, 1,000 sqft big enough for up to 3 dogs ( including mr.Rocco ) we have many cushions and beds. Of course many many toys and activities!!
“This is a second time Fido stayed with Lia. Fido needs special care because he is paralyzed from waist down. I will be honest that's a lot of work even for us who is dealing with it for 2 years. Lia was amazing with Fido, and we trust her completely. We are planning another vacation in a few months and Lia is the person I will definitely book it. I hope she will say YES : )”
“Cassidy is amazing. She’s attentive, empathetic, kind and considerate. She sent me plenty of videos and photos of my puppers and always asked questions before doing anything to make sure it was in line with how my boys are usually treated. I appreciate her attention to detail, as well as her kindness to my aging babies. I highly recommend her for all your pet care needs.”
About: I have taken care of dogs since I was 17 and worked with all kinds of dogs, from small to large dogs. I am an avid walker and know my way around New York City, so me and your pet are sure to get our steps in a safe and easy way! I’m currently a college student but have large gaps between class. Thursdays and Wednesday until 4 are free and Saturday and Sundays if you need a break or are away you can count on me ! I am only a dog walker due to my apartment regulations, but I always try to get to know your pets and become someone you and your pet can trust
“Another great day being able to go to work and know that my boys are in good hands with Jewel! She is communicative, punctual, and a natural with interacting with the dogs - not giving them too much attention when it would make them overexcited, and being very kind and affectionate when the time is right. I certainly recommend her to you.”
“Brigette has been a dog sitter we have been able to rely on continuously while we are at work. We are in the process of training our 8 month old puppy whom is potty training, crate training and is slowly learning to get past his anxiety of being home alone. She has proven to be patient and attentive to Ziggy’s needs as well as in constant communication with Ziggy updates and any questions she may have. We have rebooked her multiple times thus far and plan to continue rebooking her!”
“We booked Megan for a 17 day housesitting for both our dog & cat. She was able to do a meet and greet beforehand and was super kind & responsive. She sent multiple photos throughout the sitting and always gave great updates. We came home to a clean apartment and animals in great care. I would highly recommend Megan for any type of sitting for all pets.”
About: I have experience caring for and grooming pets with patience, attention to detail and genuine love for animals. I am comfortable handling pets with different personalities and needs. I am able ti provide pet care services full-time, with flexible availability throughout the week. I can accommodate different schedules and am happy to work with pet owners to find a time that works best for them and their pets. My apartment is clean, comfortable, and well maintained, with access to a private rear backyard where pets can relax and enjoy some outdoor time. I also have a beautiful large park by the water nearby, which is perfect for taking dogs on long walks and giving them plenty of exercise and fresh air. I provide a safe, loving, and comfortable environment where your pets can feel right at home.
“José was absolutely amazing. We’re truly so grateful for the care he gave our dog and cat. He communicated consistently with daily updates, which made us feel completely at ease while we were away. When we arrived home, both Latte and Arty were clean, happy, and clearly well cared for. We did house sitting, and the house was left spotless. José made us feel comfortable and confident the entire time. We couldn’t have asked for a better experience and would happily recommend him to anyone!”
About: Hi I currently work from home and have a lot of free time on my hands. I have watched over 100 pets with 5 years on Rover. I'm very flexible to accommodate you and your pet in any way. Feel free to reach out if there are any last-minute emergencies. I can come over to pick up and drop off as well. I prefer long stays and will be willing to give a discount for boarding longer than 5 days. I usually take them out for walks 3 - 4 times a day and take them to the dog park if I have time. I usually send pictures and updates to check in with you with their progress. I live on a very quiet street with a lot of grass everywhere. It is a safe clean environment. I do have stairs since I live on the second floor.
“Jose is communicative and responsible. Our dog Lola was super happy with him and we had total peace of mind leaving Lola for 5 days. It made our trip so much more enjoyable! We will hire him again! Jose watched Lola at our house and took great care of them both (house and dog). He’s a respectful guest. He sent us many pictures and videos so we knew she was getting out and eating well. He spoiled her with attention and exercise (she’s high energy and needy so this was perfect!)”
About: Hello! My name is Gaby. I work a hybrid schedule, which gives me some flexibility to care for pets. I grew up with dogs, and I now have a dog of my own, Lucy. I love having the opportunity to pet sit and care for other pets through Rover. I started dog walking when I was in high school for a few families in the neighborhood that worked full-time and didn’t have the ability to care for their pets throughout the work day. I walked dogs, dropped in to feed cats, change litter boxes, and spend some quality time with pets while their owners were away. For the past four years, I have been the go-to pet sitter for four different families. The pets were various breeds, sizes, ages, and had various medical needs. I have experience caring for senior dogs and cats and am always happy to provide the extra care and attention that they need. I also have experience taking care of puppies and have been known to have a sixth sense for puppies that are up to no good! I prioritize keeping to the pet’s normal routine since I have found that it makes everyone’s life easier and most importantly ensures that the pets stay comfortable, happy, and healthy! I am happy to send daily written and picture updates to owners, if desired. I mostly do this for fun and for supplemental income in my free time. I am primarily looking for regular dog walking clients on Sunday, Monday, Friday, and Saturday mornings, but I am also open to evening walks. I am happy to do weekend drop-ins at your home and am open to dog sitting on weekends as well. Feel free to reach out with any questions or requests. I am a quick responder to all communication. I can’t wait to meet you and your cutie pets! I currently work a hybrid schedule, so I have some flexibility to pet sit! I am in the office Tuesday-Thursday so I am unavailable those days. I would always be able to let you know ahead of time and plan accordingly. I am not able to board pets in my home at this time, so I am more than happy to come to you! Usually before pet sitting, I like to talk to the owners in detail about their pet's daily routine, dos and don'ts for their pets, any special/medical needs, house rules, etc. to ensure that I am creating the best environment for them and their pets.
About: Hello fur mamas and papas! My name is Lindsay, IV been with animals literally my entire life. I've had dogs, cat, rabbits. For the past 12 years, IV had three dogs (one we need to say goodbye to after 11 years) a Rottweiler, golden retriever and a little Pekingese. As well as several cats through the years. My absolutely know and fully understand more then anything that these are your babies. Because when I have to leave my animals with someone I want to know they're in the best hands (just like my children!) I love animals, going for walks, playing, bathing. Keeping company. I don't sit on my phone and call it "companionship" animals have emotions and love, and deserve to have the best of that when they're in someone else's care. I know without a doubt your fur babies are in the best hands, and you will feel so comfortable and secure as well. Thank you so much I'm currently working for myself, so this position is perfect! I love that I have the freedom to make my own hours, and do what I love. I do work as well, however I know my schedule weeks sometimes months in advance. So there would never be a conflict if a client (from Rover) scheduled with me. I live in a beautiful big house with a large backyard, completely fenced in. And dog friendly of course! In the backyard we have safe dog approved toys, dog scooper, kiddie pop up pool for the warm months. I also allow my pets I'm watching to be on the couches and beds. I also provide dog beds, water and food dishes. I'm always watching them as well. This is what I do full time and it's my passion!
“Amanda was great! She stayed at my house for 2 nights to watch my dogs, Missy & Rebel. Prior to that, she offered to do a meet and greet and came to my house to meet us and go over everything. The dogs loved her as soon as she met her, they have a keen sense for fellow dog lovers. This was my first time leaving my dogs with a stranger but Amanda sent me pictures throughout her stay which allowed me to relax on my vacation. I will def use her again, and highly recommend.”
The median cost per night for house sitting in Great Neck is $60
Pet parents share their Rover experiences - Great Neck
I’m so happy that we found each other in our new neighborhood! I met several wonderful people throughout the interview process, but something about her immediately told me she would be the perfect fit for my kitties—and my intuition proved to be absolutely right. She is genuinely affectionate, attentive, and caring with my kitties, and I can see how comfortable and happy they are with her. The beautiful photos she shares with us are also wonderfully captured and give us such peace of mind while we’re away. We feel very fortunate to have found her and are truly looking forward to teaming up with her for many years to come!
This was the first time we had someone we didn’t know watching our dog and I was very anxious. Brigette was wonderful and made the whole week feel comfortable and put me at ease. We got daily updates about Arya with pictures and Brigette was so good with her. Brigette was also able to give her medicine she needed from a recent vet visit. She was very respectful being in our house overnight and I will definitely book her again for future stays.
John watched our 2 senior dogs, one of which needs alot of assistance some days. John kept us updated by sending pictures and we knew they were doing ok. It was such a relief to be able to go somewhere and know everyone was going to be fine when we returned. We definitely will be using him again when we have functions to attend. We highly recommend John!
1000/1000! Bryce was a life saver!! She was available last minute to dog sit my 2 dogs at my home for a week! She sent thorough and constant updates that made me feel so at ease. The dogs truly adored her and she clearly loved them. She left the house in immaculate condition and went over and above what I asked of her. She will be my go to girl for all future trips!

As long as your booking dates and pet profiles are accurate, the price shown before you confirm is the total, including any booking fee.

Beyond belly rubs and feeding schedules, a house sitter’s presence may provide an additional layer of security for your home. However, you will need to arrange overnight stays and other household tasks with your sitter when reaching out to them. Not all sitters offer the same services. Common household tasks you can negotiate include:
- Mail & deliveries: Collecting letters and packages so they don't pile up.
- Plant care: Keeping your indoor or outdoor garden hydrated.
- Trash & recycling: Taking trash cans to the curb on scheduled pickup days.
- Home security: Sitters can stay overnight to keep your home occupied.
The best way to align on expectations is during your free Meet & Greet. Use this time to provide a "home cheat sheet" that includes your preferred Great Neck walking routes, the location of your favorite pet store, and any specific quirks about your home’s security or appliances.
It’s helpful to think of house sitting as a "home base" service. Most sitters in Great Neck maintain their normal daily routines, like running errands or heading to the office, meaning your pet should be comfortable being alone for a few hours at a time. If your pet needs a little extra company, here is how to find the perfect match:
- Look for "WFH" sitters: Many sitters mention "Work from Home" on their profile to indicate they’ll be present for the majority of the day.
- Update your pet’s profile: Write down how long your pet can comfortably be left alone. This helps sitters quickly determine if their schedule aligns with your needs.
- Communicate 24/7 needs: Standard house sitting usually doesn't include constant supervision. If your pet requires round-the-clock care, be sure to discuss this upfront.
Tip: Use the Meet & Greet to confirm a sitter's typical "away" windows. Transparency ensures your pet stays happy and your sitter can plan their day effectively!
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!
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 , which provides up to $25,000 in eligible veterinary care reimbursement.
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 .
If a health concern arises during a stay, your sitter is instructed to contact you and our Trust & Safety team immediately and, if needed, take your pet to the closest veterinarian. Through our Trust & Safety support team, sitters can ask for diagnostic advice from a qualified veterinary professional if your pet is showing signs of possible illness.
For extra peace of mind, you can also prepare an authorization form for your regular vet. An authorization form outlines your preferred method of care and allows your sitter to bring your pet into their regular clinic.
Every qualified booking made on Rover is backed by the Rover Guarantee, which includes reimbursement for eligible emergency vet care.
A Meet & Greet is a casual meeting to vet potential sitters and communicate care needs for peace of mind before a booking begins. Only sitters who have never booked with you before can schedule a Meet & Greet on Rover; however, you are welcome to coordinate one in Rover messages with sitters you have previously booked. This can be helpful if you have a new pet or routine you want to go over with your sitter.
Meet & Greets can take place in person or virtually. If you are booking with a sitter for the first time, we recommend in-person Meet & Greets to get a clearer sense of how your sitter interacts with your pet 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. Meet & Greets are a great way to prepare your pet and sitter for longer stays or first-time bookings. Read our tips for your first .
sitters on Rover set their own , which you can find on their profile under their contact information. Sitters may set a same-day, one-, three-, or seven-day cancellation policy. Cancelling within your sitter’s cancellation policy qualifies you for a full refund.
Same-day cancellations for recurring services, which include walks, drop-ins, and day care, follow the full refund policy. Otherwise, for pet boarding and house sitting, if you cancel after 12 pm on the applicable cancellation deadline, you’ll receive a 50% refund for the first seven days of the booking and a 100% refund for any remaining days.
If your sitter needs to cancel within seven days of the booking's start date, then our reservation protection will kick in. This means you will get a full refund and our support team will work with you to find a replacement sitter.
