About: I’ve been around dogs my whole life of all sizes. Very patient and friendly with all fur babies. In our home they are apart of my family. I am currently a stay at home wife so my schedule is very flexible and I am very happy to make appointments to make sure they get the attention your fur babies deserve! I have experience with dogs beings off leashes trained as well as the ones that constantly need leashes so they don’t get into trouble. Playing in the yard or just butt scratches are a staple!
“Katherine was great! I highly recommend her. We have 4 cats that she took care of for us while we were out of town & she was very communicative, sent updates & photos daily. I could tell that our cats felt comfortable with her which was very important.”
About: I’ve cared for pets for family, friends, and neighbors since I was a kid. I’m experienced with puppies who need patience and consistency, as well as senior pets who need extra care and attention. I treat every pet like my own and make sure they feel safe, loved, and comfortable. Pet care fits naturally into my routine. I work from home part of the week, which allows me to be flexible and available most weekdays and weekends for walks, drop-ins, and extended care. I care for pets exclusively in their own home to keep them comfortable and stress-free. I follow all instructions carefully, maintain a clean environment, prioritize safety, and provide regular updates.
“Natalie is fabulous! It’s so nice to be able to go on a trip knowing that your fur babies are taken care of. She played with them, she brushed them & she even told me what they were having for breakfast and dinner!!”
About: I have been taking care of pets for family members and friends for over 5 years now. It started when a friend had an emergency out of town and needed help. It was a pleasure to sit in and feed, play, and send goofy pictures of my friend’s dog to provide ease and comfort during a hard time. I work full time and that means my cats are fed on a routine. They require a special diet that requires portioned meals and time to play. I have an active pet cam that I am able to use to talk to them when I am not home to provide comfort and time dispensers for treats. I will abide by your routine and follow directive on when to feed, when to walk, and when to provide or administer medication. Only you know your companion best and in order to provide safety and structure, as your care-taker it would be a privilege to honor your schedule and routine.
About: Other than loving others animals as my own, l've had experience with many types of breeds, temperaments, ages, and personalities. Having experience with two German Shepards in my life, they have taught me the importance of training and regime. As a care taker I will always do my best to ensure that their schedules are well maintained. Whether it is a walk, going potty, 30-1hr of playing and enrichment, eating, receiving medicine, etc. I will do my best to ensure your fluffy friends feel safe and comfortable in their environment. Throughout the week I am typically available 9am-3pm (M,Tues,Thurs) weekends depending on work trips I am available 10am-8:30pm (Fri,Sat). I am also married so if we are boarding, my husband will be home as a helping hand! I have a fully fended and fairly big yard, plenty of room for a crate if needed, and willing to provide any extra accommodations for boarding. If I am visiting your home, I will respect your home as mind and be mindful to go above and beyond to meet your expectations whether I am caring for your dogs, cats, fish, birds, etc!
About: I’ve had many pets starting at such a young age. Everyone in my family has dogs of every breed, size, and age so I feel like I’m equipped to handle most dogs. I’ve always loved cats as well and just recently adopted a cat, I know how to handle them too. As for small animals, I have pet rabbits, hamsters, and chickens. I can handle and care for most small animals. I babysit my family’s animals and friends animals when needed. I also took veterinary classes in high school so I understand what kind of care and attention goes towards everyone’s fur babies! :) Im currently in college and have a part time job early every morning besides Tuesdays and Sundays(I’m a barista). I’m usually free all day after 9am - 11am most days. Caring for my animals is making sure they are happy, content, and to give them love and attention anytime I can get to it. I currently have a senior dog who I have to keep close attention to and open ears to make sure she isn’t struggling to go outside, needs a good back rub, or needs to be fed. My rabbits have a schedule when to eat so I know how to follow instructions on when and what to feed other people’s pets. I’m very patient, understanding, and, fast it comes to some animals being shy/ scared or having extra amounts of energy that’s hard to contain at moments.
“Amina has been a great sitter for our two kitties for several visits now. We always have peace of mind when we leave town because we know they are in great hands. She's a fantastic and reliable sitter and our kitties love her! A+ ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐”
“Ariel was wonderful. I could tell by the way she talked that she absolutely loves animals and I felt totally at ease leaving my horde with her for a week. She came twice a day to check on everyone and I got text updates. I will definitely be booking with her for my next vacation.”
About: I genuinely treat every dog like my best friend. Full of the upmost love, care, and fun. Your pup isn’t just a pet, they’re family! As a college student with online classes, I love spending my free time with dogs. I have two beautiful huskies of my own back home, so caring for new pups brings me joy every day. I provide personalized care for every pet, whether in my home or yours. I feed, walk, and play with dogs according to their routine, give plenty of love and attention, and make sure they’re safe and comfortable at all times. I also many send updates, photos, and videos so owners know their pets are happy and well cared for.

Frequently asked questions about Rover
As of October 2026, there are 826 sitters on Rover offering Cat Sitting across Hempstead. Enter your ZIP code to see which available sitters are closest to your home.
Cat sitters on Rover care for your cats’ needs and can spend quality time with them, including activities like feeding, playing, and refreshing their water and litter boxes. Depending on your arrangement, you can schedule as many visits per day as your cat needs or find a sitter who can stay at your house overnight. Some sitters also board cats in their home.
House sitting can be ideal for cats who need socialization or care that lasts longer than a few hours. Your cat stays in their own home, on their own schedule, with care based on what you and your sitter agree on together.
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 .
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.
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 .

Same-day cancellations for recurring services, which include walks, drop-ins, and day care, follow the full refund policy.
