“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!”

About: What sets me apart from others? I truly care for animals. My friends saw how I attended to their pets, so they would asked me to Dog/cat sit, I always did it, because I know how important someone safe is required. I’m trustworthy and caring and I also believe human interaction is important. I work bank hour, 8:30am - 4:30pm. That leaves me with free time after 5pm. Your fur baby can get all the attention they need. My place/home may be small, but it’s a welcoming and a safe home. I can and will follow your request on what your fur baby needs and want.

“Ari was fantastic! We hired him to care for our high-energy pup who dislikes other dogs. Ari was incredibly thoughtful and communicative before and during his stay at our home. He sent at least two pictures a day and said the kindest things about our pup - which made us feel like our pup was in good hands. We will definitely hire Ari again in the future!”

“Rachel has watched our cat, Oliver, overnight for us 3 times and dropped in to feed him once. I cannot recommend her enough. I never worried about Oliver while we were gone and Rachel was thorough in asking questions about his care and communicating with us prior to and during her stay. She’s been able to gain Oliver’s trust and affection, which isn’t always easy. On our last trip, there was a chance our flight would be cancelled given how severely delayed it was and Rachel put our minds at ease that she would stay if it was cancelled to take care of Oliver.”

“This is our second time having Jose watch our animals, and he was absolutely amazing, just like the first time! He was great with our animals, especially our more anxious dog. Will definitely be a repeat client 🙂”

About: I’ve cared for my cousin’s dog several times, especially when his family was away. He has separation anxiety, so I’ve learned how to support him through stressful moments with patience and consistency, calmly. This experience helped me understand how important emotional care is for pets, not just physical needs. I’ve also taken the initiative to self-learn dog training techniques and have attended a few classes on positive reinforcement training. I’ve even practiced basic training with my cousin’s dog to help reinforce good habits. Growing up, I also cared for a bunny, which taught me responsibility and attention to detail, skills that translate well to dog care, too. I’m reliable, gentle, and always focused on making pets feel safe, loved, and understood. It’s summer break for me, so my schedule is flexible and open throughout the week. I have plenty of time each day to dedicate to pet care, whether dog walking, sitting, or just spending quality time with your pet. I’m also working on a few personal hobbies during my free time, and I thought pet care would be the perfect way to earn money while doing something I genuinely enjoy. I love being around animals and giving them the care and attention they deserve! Whether I’m caring for pets in my client’s home or my own space, I always prioritize their safety, comfort, and routine. I take time to understand each pet’s specific needs, like feeding schedules, walking routines, or favorite toys, so they feel secure and cared for while you're away. In your home, I’m respectful of your space and make sure to keep everything clean and consistent for your pet. I pay close attention to doors, gates, and anything that could be a safety concern. If I’m in charge of walking, I always use secure leashes and stay alert to our surroundings to keep your pet safe and happy. Trust is important to me, and I want pet parents to feel completely at ease. I’m happy to send updates, photos, or follow any instructions you leave to ensure your pet feels right at home, even when you're not!

Pet parents share their Rover experiences - Great Neck Estates
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.

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!

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 Estates 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 Estates 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 Estates 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 Rover Guarantee, 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 Rover's Trust & Safety page.
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 Meet & Greet.
sitters on Rover set their own cancellation policy, 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.
Yes, you can find sitters who have experience with handling special pet needs in Great Neck Estates. On Rover:
- 85% of sitters can help with special care needs

You can also find pet sitters on Rover who accept only one pet at a time, which is ideal for anxious puppies, kittens, or senior pets who move at a gentler pace. Some sitters will also list availability for 24/7 care, also known as constant care, in their profiles.
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.
