About: I have taken care of and trained my golden for 9 years before she recently passed. I have been dog watching the past few years and have always enjoyed having a short-term companion around! I know how scary it can be to find a safe and suitable sitter online as I used to use Rover for my golden years ago. I have always been a dog person and love interacting with new pups and breeds. I also live about 4-6 mins off of the LIE for easy drop-offs/pick-ups! I have my phone easily accessible for quick responses and update multiple times throughout the day with messages and pics of your dog! I am a dog lover who lives an active lifestyle and enjoy going on long walks and spending time outdoors. I am available for dog boarding, doggy day care, and walks depending on scheduling and early notice. I can also provide pick up and drop off services for an additional fee based on distance. I make sure that your dog always has water available and that they stay on schedule with meal times or treat intakes. I will regularly walk and play with your dog and can also take them to a nearby dog park or to meet up with other pups. I will never leave your dog unattended for more than 1-2 hours and have other members of the household to provide company as well.
About: My name is Jonathan and I'm working as a full-time dog sitter and remote product designer and living in Great Neck, NY. I currently have a 8 year old golden retriever! I have always loved dogs as I grew up with a Maltese when I was in kindergarten before getting my golden. I'm also very good at training through positive reinforcement and handling medium to large breeds. I also have experience taking care of multiple dogs at the same time. Lastly, I can easily tell when dogs are in trouble or need to use the bathroom, etc. My schedule is extremely flexible so I can accommodate most requests! I wake up at 9am everyday to let my dog out for a morning potty break. We then go for a walk at noon, one at 6pm, and one more at 10pm before bed. I have a fenced in yard that is locked at all times. I will be present in the backyard anytime the dogs are there and will keep an eye on them while they play. I will be home 24/7 while your dog is with me, and will be monitored at all times.

“Kaitlyn is awesome! She took care of my 3 cats. 2 of them need daily thyroid meds. She had no issues giving them their medications. She sent updates and pictures at every visit.

About: I’ve been around dogs my entire life and have hands-on experience caring for dogs of all ages, breeds, sizes, and temperaments. In addition to owning and caring for my own dogs, I’ve worked in doggy daycare settings and with dog walking businesses, giving me experience managing multiple dogs safely while ensuring each one receives individual attention and care. I have raised puppies from a young age and am experienced with basic obedience training, crate training, potty training, leash manners, and reinforcing positive behaviors. I am also comfortable working with reactive, nervous, high-energy, and strong-willed dogs, always prioritizing patience, consistency, and safety. Whether your dog needs long walks, playtime, structured care, medication administration, puppy support, or simply extra love and attention while you’re away, I strive to provide a safe, reliable, and stress-free experience for both pets and their owners. I treat every dog as if they were my own and work hard to ensure they feel comfortable, happy, and well cared for. Dogs are at the center of my daily life, and because I am home full-time, I am able to provide consistent supervision, companionship, and personalized care throughout the day. Your pet won’t be left alone for extended periods and will receive the attention, exercise, structure, and affection they deserve. I have experience caring for dogs of all ages and temperaments and am happy to accommodate feeding schedules, medications, crate routines, training reinforcement, and any special requests to help your pet feel comfortable and at home. Creating a safe, comfortable, and stress-free environment is my top priority. I am home full-time, which means your pet will receive plenty of supervision, attention, and companionship throughout the day. I share my home with two friendly, well-socialized dogs (25 lbs and 40 lbs) who are both very gentle and get along well with other dogs and pets. I take the time to learn each pet’s routine, preferences, and comfort level so they can feel as relaxed as possible while you’re away. Whether your dog enjoys socializing, playing, going for walks, or simply having a quiet place to relax, I adjust my care to meet their individual needs. Safety is extremely important to me, and all pets are closely supervised. I maintain a clean, pet-friendly environment and follow any instructions provided by owners regarding feeding, medications, exercise, crate routines, or special care. I also provide regular updates and photos so you can have peace of mind knowing your pet is safe, happy, and well cared for.

About: I had a Bichon and took care of him for 15 year, love him so much! He played with me and sleep with me every day I can be at home full time from Friday to Monday, taking care of the dogs, and being flexible for checking on her/him almost anytime I have fenced back yard that dogs can walk and run around, also I have plenty of pets toys that can be provided for dogs
“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.”

“Cassidy was a dream come true. My dog is so nervous around strangers and became a challenge while I was away but she found a way to make it work. My kitten adored her and I know he will miss having her visit. Thank you for everything!!”


“Vee and Steven have done drop-ins for our rescue Frenchie, Tank, since we both went back to work, and we don't know what we'd do without them. Tank came from a puppy mill with medical needs and separation anxiety, so we were nervous about leaving him. They've been incredible with him. Every visit comes with detailed notes and photos, so we always know how he's doing. They spotted a sore on his paw before we did and flagged it right away. They towel him off and clean his paws without being asked, and they're endlessly patient on rainy days, which he hates. They've also given us genuinely helpful suggestions as we've worked out his setup. You can tell they really care about him. 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 have been an animal lover my entire life, and dogs are the greatest animal of all. I currently volunteer at North Shore Animal League as well as the Hope for Cleo Animal Rescue in Suffolk. Love to play and give all the pets to our furry friends! I am a newly-licensed Registered Nurse taking a much-needed vacation. My schedule is 13 days a month at work, and the rest are off days, leaving plenty of time to walk doggies and drop in for potty breaks and play time. My dogs have always lived with a fenced-in yard, but I am not currently offering housing/boarding services. I am willing to travel to help take care of your pup!
About: From long walks to slow sniffy adventures, I’m happy to match your dog’s vibe. I’m easygoing, reliable, and love getting to know each dog’s personality. Your dog’s safety, comfort, and happiness are always my priority—and I’ll send photo updates so you can see how they’re doing along the way 🐾 Right now, I’m available for dog walks and drop-in visits. I’m typically available on Fridays and throughout the weekends; sometimes I am free during the weekdays outside 9-5. If you have any questions or a specific time in mind, feel free to reach out and I’ll do my best to accommodate. I always prioritize safety, trust, and respect when caring for pets in your home. I follow all instructions carefully and treat everything with care. I do this work out of genuine love for animals and always treat each pet as if they were my own. I’m easy to communicate with and quick to respond, and I can send regular photo updates if you’d like.
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: I’ve been a dog lover, dog parent and dog caretaker my whole life. It comes as second nature to be with them and bask in their companionship. I work part time, from home and sometimes out of the house, which offers me a flexible schedule to be with your beloved fur baby. I will care for your beloved animal taking them on walks, playing with them and feeding them. At this time, I only offer walking or in-your-home services as my landlord does not allow animals in my home.
“Victoria did a great job taking care of my cat and 7 week old kitten while I was away. She is very reliable and caring. I appreciated the pictures and updates with how they were doing after every visit. I definitely recommend using her.”

About: As a longtime dog lover with years of hands-on pet care experience, I treat every dog in my care as if they were my own. Over the past 6 years, I’ve cared for dogs of various breeds, ages, and temperaments from energetic puppies who need structured playtime to senior dogs requiring gentle care and precise medication schedules. I work full time on weekdays from 9am-5pm so I’m always available for weekends beginning Friday night. Within the right notice, week nights could be available. When caring for pets in a client's home, my primary focus is maintaining their normal environment, security, and routine to eliminate stress. Keeping their feeding areas clean, making sure to keep tabs on their potty breaks, maintaining safety on walks & within the home.

This was our first time having Michelle as our pet sitter. She was wonderful at communicating, and very thorough in searching for our cat who is always wins at Hide & Seek. We returned to find our home exactly as we left it, she took the litter to the outdoor trash, etc. Highly recommend this lady if you need someone who cares and understands animals!

Lawrence is an exceptional pet sitter and is a clear and effective communicator. He was patient with our shy cat and explained in detail his plan to make her comfortable. By his third visit our girl was clearly obsessed with him! He has a special way with animals and it’s evident in the way he cares for them. We would book with him every time if possible!

We're so pleased with Joane's care for our cat Zappa! She was communicative, extremely nice and pleasant and diligent, she kept us apprised of everything that happened during the visit and sent pictures and videos! She earned our trust and then some! I look forward to having future opportunities to utilize. Joane.

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 ❤️

Morgan is amazing! She is very thoughtful, kind, and professional. My cat is usually a bit cautious with strangers, but he fell in love with her at the first sight. Morgan kept me updated with daily reports and photos, and answered all my questions promptly and clearly. Communication with her is always smooth, pleasant, and assuring. I feel fortunate knowing that I have someone I can trust with my 🐈⬛ when cannot be with him.

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!

The average cost of Pet Sitting in Great Neck Estates is $17 per visit as of November 2026. Most bookings cost between $17 and $17 per visit. On Rover, sitters set their own rates based on factors such as their experience, the length of care, the number of pets, and your pet’s specific needs. As long as your booking dates and pet profiles are accurate, the price shown before you confirm is the total, including any booking fee.
As of November 2026, there are 27,278 sitters on Rover offering Pet Sitting across Great Neck Estates. Enter your ZIP code to see which available sitters are closest to your home.
You and your sitter can agree on a care schedule that fits your pet’s routine and the sitter’s availability. Pet Sitting can be booked as a one-time or recurring drop-in visit. If you need overnight care or dog walks, you may also be able to book House Sitting or Dog Walking through Rover with the same sitter, provided they offer those services.
Before booking, confirm:
- the timing, length, and frequency of visits;
- the care instructions the sitter should follow;
- which parts of your pet’s usual routine should be prioritized;
- how often you would like to receive messages, photos, or other updates.
Not every sitter offers the same services, availability, or booking options. Review their profile and discuss the care you need through Rover before booking each service.
If you would like updates while you’re away, you can discuss with your sitter how many or how frequent you’d like those updates to be. The Rover app allows sitters to send photos, videos, and messages about your pet, including how many pee or poop breaks occurred. You can message your sitter at any time through the app and our support team is available 24/7 by email or chat if you have concerns.
The personalized, in-home nature of pet care through Rover can mean more individual attention for your pet.
Many pet parents provide a spare key or arrange a lockbox. You can also exchange keys during the Meet & Greet and show your walker how to use digital fobs or personalized codes. It helps to arrange access to your home, from spare keys to concierge introductions, before pet care begins.
If you live in an apartment or condo, don’t forget to discuss details like buzzer access, codes, or elevator etiquette. These details can help a pet sitter feel more comfortable going in and out of your building.
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.
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.

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.
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.
