“My pug Charlie had another wonderful time with Abbie and Peachy. Charlie feels really safe with Abbie even though she is a little anxious and Peachy is a great friend that helps Charlie to stay active and socialized especially in this cold weather. Outstanding hosts!”
“Janine was great! She made Rory feel comfortable and took good care of her for a week while we were away. I got daily updates and would definitely have Rory stay with Janine again, which I know Rory would love.”
“We have been going to her for the last 3 years ever since we moved to Long island, and she has been nothing but professional, flexible, and reliable. I recommend her to as many people as I possibly can, and she has been like a family member to our dog! We highly recommend her”
“Melissa was great! Our pup really loved her dogs and in the photos and videos he seemed so happy! We were really worried about leaving him for two weeks as it was the first time being away from him for so long. Would definitely use Melissa as a sitter again!”
“Von (Vee) took excellent care of our dog Kona while we went on vacation for a week, we couldn’t have asked for a better sitter. From the start, she was communicative, thoughtful, and clearly cared deeply about creating a comfortable, loving environment. Throughout the stay, she sent detailed updates along with tons of photos and videos, which gave us so much peace of mind while we were away. It was obvious our dog was happy, well cared for, and getting plenty of attention and affection. You can tell she treats the dogs she watches like her own. We’re so grateful for the level of care she provided and would absolutely book with her again without hesitation. Highly recommend!”
“Alba has been one of the best dog sitter we’ve found! She takes great care of furry family member and we can tell she truly cares to creates a great experience for our dog when we are away. We look forward to continuing working with Alba in the future and we highly recommend Alba to anyone in need of pet sitting!”
“Narly was wonderful. She took great care of my 2 Jack Russells who are 14 and 8. It was the first time that I was leaving them with a sitter or boarding. We had a meet & greet to make sure it would be a good fit and during their stay, she sent daily updates & pictures which gave me so much peace of mind. She listened and made sure all their needs were met. It was a mini vacation for them as much as it was for me ?”
“Michelle was a Godsend!!! I was referred to her for a last minute dog sitter. The moment I met her I knew she truly loves dogs. Michelle put my mind at ease and I knew Rocki would be in excellent hands. Rocki is normally standoffish and LOVED her immediately after meeting her. She sent pictures, videos, and updates throughout the night. Rocki is very scared of thunderstorms and she petted her throughout the night to keep her calm. I will definitely use her again! HIGHLY RECOMMEND!!!!!!”
“Super caring and considerate. She took such good care of my pup and was very attentive and friendly. She sent regular pictures and videos and I knew my dog was happy eating and well taken care of”
“I’ve used Britany twice so far and have had a good experience each time. My puppy is eager to see her so I know he’s been well taken care of. Britany does pick ups and drops offs which is a huge help when you’re juggling a lot before heading out of town. I definitely recommend her.”
“We have had Neo at their place multiple times and I can vouch for them. They make sure to share tons of videos and photos and are always available to check in . Would definitely recommend them.”
About: What sets me apart is the genuine care and attention I give to every dog I look after. I treat them like my own—with love, patience, and respect for their routines. I have experience caring for dogs of all sizes, and I’m comfortable with both puppies and senior dogs. I understand that each dog has its own personality and needs, and I take the time to make sure they feel safe and happy in my care. Since I’m not currently a dog owner, I pour all my energy and affection into the dogs I sit for. I also have a fenced yard, which gives dogs a secure place to play and relax. I’m reliable, detail-oriented, and always keep pet parents updated so they can feel confident while they’re away. Pet care is something I genuinely enjoy, and I make time for it on weekends and some weekday evenings. I’m usually available on weekends for boarding and daycare, and with advance notice, I can provide walks or care after 5:00 PM during the week. Since I don’t currently have a dog of my own, spending time with pets through Rover gives me the chance to enjoy their company and provide the attention they deserve. It’s something I look forward to fitting into my weekly routine, and I always plan my schedule carefully to give each dog quality care and attention. When caring for dogs in my home, I make sure they feel safe, comfortable, and part of the family. I live in a house with a fenced yard, so dogs have a secure space to play and get fresh air. I stick to their usual routines as closely as possible—feeding, walking, playtime, and rest—based on their owner’s instructions. I keep a calm, clean environment and always give plenty of love and attention. For walks and weekend daycare, I focus on making the experience fun and stress-free. I tailor walks to each dog’s energy level and needs, whether it’s a quick potty break or a longer walk for exercise. I also pay close attention to leash safety, weather conditions, and staying in familiar areas unless otherwise requested. Whether in my home or out and about, your dog’s comfort, safety, and happiness are always my top priority.
“Kona is only 6 month old, and it was her first time away from us. She stayed for a week. Gloria took great care of her. I was updated with pictures daily which put my mind at ease. I will definitely use Gloria again when we are traveling. She was communicating well and responding to messages right away.”
“My wife and I needed a last minute dog sitter, and we found dilania here on rover. Her response was quick. When we dropped our dogs off she gave updates and took great care of our pups.”
“extremely reliable, consistently providing loving care and attentive walks, with excellent communication throughout the stay, ensuring my dog felt safe and happy even while we where away. Thank you Vanessa”
“We are so grateful to Jonisha and her family for taking in our dog, Scrappy, at the last minute when we decided to leave town. We reached out the evening before, and she was able to accommodate us the very next morning. Jonisha took excellent care of Scrappy, providing regular updates, pictures, and videos, which reassured us that she was happy and well-cared for. We've already booked Jonisha for future stays and highly recommend her to anyone looking for a sitter who treats your dog like their own.”
“This was my first experience with Vanessa and it was amazing. Front start to finish she provided excellent communication and thorough updates. I felt that my pet was in safe hands and I did not need to worry. Overall great experience.”
“I just wanted to take a moment to express my gratitude for the wonderful care Anna provided for Ramsey while we were away. Her daily photos and updates truly reassured us that she was happy and comfortable in your care. It was clear to see how much she enjoyed spending time with you! Your kindness and attention to detail made all the difference, and I can't thank you enough for being such a fantastic sitter. We highly recommend you to anyone looking for someone to care for their pets! Thank you once again for everything!”
“Chris communicated well, was flexible with time, and gave timely updates with videos. Wonderful caretaker and my pup came back very happy. Thanks so much Chris!”
Hempstead pet parents share their Rover experiences
Joanna did an excellent job taking care of my dog, and I would absolutely recommend her to anyone looking for a reliable sitter. She was very communicative throughout the entire process, always keeping me updated and making me feel comfortable while I was away. Her availability and flexibility were also greatly appreciated and made scheduling very easy. On top of that, everything was kept clean and organized, and it was clear that she genuinely cared about providing a safe and comfortable environment. Thank you again, Joanna, for taking such great care of my little guy!
Erica did a great job babysitting our two dogs while we were on vacation. She communicated with us every single day, kept us updated with how they were doing, and gave us peace of mind while we were gone. I would absolutely recommend her to anyone looking for a trustworthy person sitter!
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.
Caitlin and Erick are two lovely young people that have a great responsibility ethic and feel for animals. This was the first dog sit experience for my Havanese puppy Sandy while we delivered our son to college. Caitlin and Erick understood her special anxiety, were able to deal with her emotions and made her feel comfortable so we could do what we needed to do. I expect to book further dog sits with this nice couple and thank them for making Sandy’s first dog sit a good one.
Our three dogs loved their stay with this lovely family! We got pictures, videos, and regular updates. The videos showed us how much fun our dogs were having, they loved running around the backyard and even our very shy dog made good friends! We felt assured that our dogs were well cared for while we were away on vacation, and we were able to relax and enjoy ourselves knowing they were safe and happy. We will book again with Sonia and her family the next time we are away, for sure!
