“Joanna is amazing! Her love for your furry friend shows from the moment you meet her. She took care of Persia as if she were her own pup. Very communicative and sent pictures every day so we were never worried. Thank you again Joanna!”
“Ace was well-cared for. Michele was very communicative and sent daily pictures twice a day 🐶. Ace was calm and very confortable. Michele has a calming effect and it showed through and through. She’s definitely an animal lover. We will definitely be using her again 🐾.”
“Vanessa and her husband were wonderful! They took amazing care of Midnight during our overnight away. I felt completely at ease! She kept us updated with lots of videos, and Midnight was clearly having a blast. I couldn’t ask for better care or peace of mind!””
“Tanu was wonderful with Yogi! 🐾 She was so accommodating, caring, and attentive, and Yogi clearly had such a great time with her. I also really appreciated all the pictures and videos she sent, it was so reassuring to see him happy and having fun. We would definitely book with Tanu again! ❤️”
“Michael was an awesome sitter for my adorable playful (at times needy) puppers! I received daily updates and pictures of them having a good time. Michael had great communication and was very responsive which I was appreciative of since I was so far away. I'll definitely be using Michael's services again, my puppers had a great time :)”
“I can’t say enough good things about Grace. She took such great care of my Loona for the week we were away. She has never been away from my home but Loona looked so comfortable and having such a great time with all the videos Grace sent to me. I felt like I left my puppy with family and I would recommend her to everyone. Wish I could leave more than 5 stars.”
“I had to go on a trip that was booked months in advance but with the holidays around the corner, it was very hard to find someone caring and trustworthy. I came across Chris and his wonderful home and thought why not. Once I dropped my pups off it was like they entered their second home. They were given full attention and the best treatment any dog owner could ask for. I was updated with photos and videos almost every hour. It was almost like as if I never left. I definitely will be coming back again. If you need a trustworthy and attentive sitter, look no further than here! Thank you Chris!”
“It was our first time ever leaving our dog with a sitter. We were very nervous about it, but Sonia and her family made sure to send us videos and photos of her every day and constantly kept us updated on the well being of our Ginger! They welcomed her with open arms and made her feel right at home immediately . Thank you so much for taking such great care of our baby!”
“Veronica took exceptional care of my two dogs Molly and Oliver. She was very attentive to all their needs and provided a safe, fun environment for their entire stay. I will definitely be using Veronica again.”
“Dilania is absolutely wonderful! She took care of our dog as if he were her own. Our pup was instantly comfortable and at home with her and she took excellent care of him. I highly recommended her!”
“Vee and Steven were amazing with our Ruby! Ruby takes some time to warm up to humans and they were so patient with her and let her set the pace. Thank you River for being a great friend and sharing your toys! I felt at ease and very comfortable leaving my girl with them. I got a very detailed update with many pictures and videos daily which I truly appreciated. They are the best!!”
“Lorena is an amazing sitter!!! 1000% recommend!! My dog did not want to leave her home after staying there one night! She sent lots of pictures and read all the directions for him! Please do yourself a favor and book her now!!”
About: Dogs have been a part of my life since I was ten years old, and I have seventeen years of hands-on experience as a dog owner and caregiver in my adulthood. Family, friends, and neighbors have also trusted me to care for their dogs. I have experience with puppies through senior dogs, including puppy training and reinforcing established routines. I am comfortable administering medications and caring for senior dogs and dogs with medical needs, and I am CPR certified. My own dog was my baby and truly like a son to me. We spent seventeen years together before he recently passed away in April. He traveled with me, went everywhere with me, and was a huge part of my life. Being a devoted dog owner myself taught me how much trust it takes to leave your dog in someone else's care. I will treat your dog with the same love, patience, attention, and respect I gave my own. I work full-time during the week, so I am primarily available for boarding and daycare on weekends and holidays, when I can devote plenty of time and attention to the dogs in my care. If your dog is comfortable being home alone during my workday, weekday care may also be possible, and we can discuss your dog's individual routine and needs beforehand. When I am caring for your dog, I want their normal routine to remain as consistent as possible, including feeding, walks, playtime, medications, bathroom breaks, and bedtime routines. I live in a quiet home with a securely fenced backyard where your dog can safely spend time outside. I will only host 3 small or 2 medium dogs at a time. Dogs are welcome on my couches and beds, and if your dog normally sleeps with you, they are welcome to sleep with me too. I want my home to feel like their home while they are staying with me. I believe you know your dog better than anyone, so I will follow your care instructions closely. That includes feeding schedules, medications, walks, sleeping arrangements, training routines, house rules, and any special needs or preferences. I also pay close attention to changes in behavior, appetite, energy, and overall comfort. My priority is making sure your dog is safe, comfortable, loved, and cared for while giving you peace of mind while you're away.
“This is the first time I had my pup Snowflake boarded. I was a little nervous, but it was a great experience for him. She sent me pictures and videos of him all weekend and kept me updated on his days there. I highly recommend Mariela to take care of your furbaby ?. Thank you again! You will see snowflake again!!????”
“Ivana cared so well for our beloved Naomi. She was attentive to all of her needs and consistently communicated with me regarding Naomi’s care. I’d highly recommend Ivana and hope to work with her again.”
“Alexa is amazing and Jack came back home very happy. From the beginning Alexa suggested and accommodated a meet and greet day, and Jack was more then happy to stay with Alexa the day of babysitting. Alexa also was more then accepting of time extensions and I also met her Dad. When Jack was dropped off they had a small sign in the door with jacks name welcoming him. Thank you Alexa!!”
“From the start Wendy was so easy to work with for scheduling and quick to respond. She sent photos and check-ins throughout, which were really nice. Would definitely book again and recommend boarding with Wendy.”
About: Hello, I’m Raymonii or Ray. I’m a Toy Designer and Illustrator, and dog lover! I have always had a love for dogs and have watched some of my family and friends dogs for about 2 years and now have my own! I am ambivert. I love the outdoors, playing, and having energy to run and have a great time with mine and your pets. I have a backyard ready to play in and I also live 5 minutes from a trail. I value your pet’s safety and happiness like they are my children too! I work remotely at my house which is near a dog friendly trail and I have a spacious backyard. I am available currently seven days a week. I am very active and love walks as much as dogs do. I make lists for organization and I love playing with my dog to keep her tail wagging and put a smile on her face! I would love to do the same for another. As a dog owner myself I understand the value in having a safe, comfortable, and fun space for your beloved pet. I get it, leaving your pet with someone new can be daunting but I’m here to make sure to give you a peace of mind. I handle everything from food, water, and play time with caution as if it were my own baby (dog).
“Sharon and her family were so great! This is the first time We’ve ever left our bulldog with anyone other than family and only the third time we’ve left him overnight. Sharon’s reviews were what grabbed my attention. I reached out and asked if we could set up a meet and greet. She said yes right away (she’s SUPER responsive). We set it up and it went great. She sent me updates and pics all the time we were away and I felt 100% at ease leaving Creasy with her and her awesome family. I would use Sharon again, for sure.”

I absolutely love Joanna, I highly recommend her! She is very experienced and knowledgeable when it comes to caring for senior dogs, especially those who require extra attention and medical care. She took wonderful care of my fur baby Oreo,including cleaning his wound and administering his medication as needed. She was gentle, patient, attentive, and compassionate throughout his care. It gave me great peace of mind knowing my dog was in such capable and loving hands. It’s clear how much she genuinely love animals. I truly appreciate everything she did for Oreo and would highly recommend her, especially to anyone with a senior dog or a pet requiring special care. I wouldn’t hesitate to trust her with Oreo again! ❤️🐾
Once again, Vanessa is the absolute best! Each time I have left my dogs in her care, I have felt completely at ease knowing they are being loved, well-cared for, and have playmates to keep them company while they are apart from their family. She’s communicative (always keeping us updated with the cutest pictures and videos), patient, and goes out of her way to make sure all bases are covered when you have any particular needs for your pups. Being away on a busy holiday weekend, we got stuck in even worse traffic than expected and were late to pick up. She was so understanding and patient which relieved any extra stress we had. She’s truly a saint, and her family is lovely as well. I will be sure to recommend her to any of my loved ones who need a sitter and you can rest assured knowing she’ll take the best care of your pets, too.
Excellent experience, from first communication on rover, to the meet and greet, drop off and pick up. Sonia and her son Kenny sent updates and pics everyday. My dog Levi gets a little nervous with new people but they were so patient and loving, he settled in so quickly. When we picked him up, he was so calm, almost seemed like he wanted to stay longer, hahaa. So glad we found them on Rover, we will definitely be using them in the future and recommending to friends and family. Do not hesitate to book with them.
We had an absolutely amazing experience with Grainne! Teddy was immediately comfortable the moment they met, and it’s completely obvious that Grainne has a true passion for caring for dogs. He had a wonderful vacation of his own, and the photo updates she sent while we were away completely put our minds at ease—the kids loved seeing them! We will definitely book with Grainne again
Lisa took such amazing care of Ruffles while we were away for 3 weeks. She sent daily updates with photos and videos that really put our minds at ease while we were miles away. We will absolutely be using Lisa again for our future needs and highly recommend her for your fur babies!
I had a great experience with Tina! She took the time to meet Summer on short notice before taking care of her. She sent pictures and updates twice a day and I could tell Summer had a great time. She also has a fenced backyard where Summer enjoyed playing fetch and getting her zoomies out. I would highly recommend her to anyone looking for a dog sitter.

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.
Every sitter on Rover has their own routine. Depending on the arrangements you agree on before the stay, a sitter can follow your dog’s regular feeding schedule, provide a comfortable place to sleep, offer companionship, and support their usual exercise and play needs.
94% of sitters in Hempstead can provide daily exercise during dog boarding stays. Depending on the sitter, their home environment, and your dog’s needs, this may include walks, outdoor play, indoor enrichment activities, or supervised play with compatible dogs. These activities are not automatically included with every booking, so ask the sitter what a typical day looks like.
During the Meet & Greet, discuss your dog’s usual exercise and play routine, whether they can safely interact with other dogs, and any activities or restrictions the sitter should follow. You can also ask the sitter to send photo and message updates during the stay so you can see how your dog is spending their time.
Preparing for drop-off is easy when you have a checklist! To help your dog settle into their Hempstead home-away-from-home, we recommend packing:
- Health and safety essentials such as their ID tags, vaccination records, medication, and emergency vet or secondary caregiver contacts.
- Food and gear such as harnesses, collars, food (portioned by day), and an item that smells like you.
- Special instructions such as a list of training cues, medical administration needs, or favorite hang-out spots in your Hempstead.
Tip: You can upload your dog’s routine and medical info directly onto their profile so your sitter always has the details at their fingertips.
Yes, you can find sitters who have experience with handling special pet needs in Hempstead. On Rover:
- 85% of sitters can help with special care needs
- 90% can help with giving oral medications or injections
- 94% can help with daily exercise
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.
You and your Hempstead sitter can schedule drop-off and pick-up in a way that works best for the both of you—and your dog. Most sitters offer flexible times for drop-off and pick-up but the easiest way to confirm those times will be through in-app messaging. Confirm your arrival time the day of pick-up and drop-off can also help keep the process smooth and organized.
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.
While each sitter sets their own vaccine requirements, staying up-to-date on your dog’s vaccines is the best way to be "boarding ready". Vaccinations help create a safe environment for all pets under a sitter’s care.
Many sitters in NY ask that dogs be up to date on core vaccines like the Canine Parvovirus, Canine Distemper, Canine Adenovirus, Bordetella, and Rabies.
By discussing your pet's health history early, you’re adding a layer of confidence for you and your sitter before the booking begins.
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 dog to the closest veterinarian. Through our Trust & Safety support team, sitters can ask for diagnostic advice from a qualified veterinary professional if your dog 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.
Adding another pup to the pack? Most sitters and walkers offer a reduced rate for additional dogs. You’ll find these exact rates listed under the "Services" tab on any sitter's profile. Since every dog is unique, final pricing may vary depending on the level of care required.
