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!
About: I have over 20 years of hands-on experience caring for a wide variety of animals, including cats, dogs, chickens, ducks, and horses. From raising my own dogs through every stage of life—puppies to seniors—I understand the love and attention pets need to thrive. I’m also experienced in administering medications, so you can feel confident that your pets are in capable, caring hands. My goal is to provide the same dependable, compassionate care I give my own animals, giving you peace of mind while you’re away. I currently work an early morning schedule from 12:00AM to 8:30AM or sometimes a little later, which allows me plenty of flexibility to provide attentive pet care throughout the rest of the day. For overnight stays, depending on your pet’s needs, my husband is also available to provide morning feedings while I’m at work. This ensures your pets receive consistent care and attention, even during early hours. Despite my work schedule, I am fully committed to offering reliable, compassionate, and exceptional care, treating every pet with the same love and attention I give my own. Although I do not offer boarding services at my home due to the animals I already care for, I provide in-home pet care with the utmost dedication. When staying in your home, I treat it as if it were my own, ensuring your pets are cared for just as I would care for my own. I follow every detail you provide to keep them calm, comfortable, and happy throughout your time away, giving you peace of mind that they are in loving, capable hands.
About: From experience with puppies to older dogs, I also offer grooming and other services if needed. I have big patio and a friendly pet they can play with. I stay at home with my baby and my pet Luna all day most days so I’ll be available any time for any walks, unexpected stays, or any other situation! My neighborhood is fairly new and small, we have a fenced yard and lots of room to play, we have a lot of toys and stuff around the house for your babies to play with!
“Natalie was great! First time using Rover and she made it very easy. She took great care checking in on my shy kitties. Loved the pictures she sent. Will definitely rebook.”
About: I’ve had my beautiful dog buttercup for about 10 years now and my cat Donnie for about 4 years. I’ve had multiple jobs housesitting for multi animal houses and can’t wait to add your loved ones to my experience. I have no professional obligations currently. The only task I have throughout the day is to drop my partner off to work at 5 AM and pick him up at 3 PM. Open to all care needs. My love for animals makes me very detail oriented when it comes to care. I have cared for my dog through spinal issues and my cat through a urinary blockage.
“Christina took such good care of our cats while we were out of town for Christmas. She was very good at communicating with us and sent lots of pictures every day. She was really sweet to our cats. I highly recommend her!”
“Larisa was fantastic! Really went above and beyond to make my two skittish cats comfortable with her. Highly recommend and will be reaching out to her again when I have more travel plans.”
About: I’ve raised 3 cats from birth in the last 3 years, I’ve been taking care of one of their injuries for a year so I’m always happy to do what is needed to take care of your pet. I’m available all day every day! I have a flexible day time job but I can work around it to take care of your needs! I would be very respectful of the boundaries set by the client and the pet, while also trying to go above and beyond for your pet!
About: I have years of experience working with animals through veterinary clinics, animal rescue, and caring for reptiles and other exotic pets! I’m comfortable giving medications, caring for diabetic pets, and providing extra attention to senior dogs. I also offer nail trims, red light laser therapy, and potty breaks every 3 hours. For pups who get a little nervous, I have ThunderShirts available to help them feel more comfortable! Dogs are welcome on the bed and furniture if that’s what they’re used to at home! I always respect your household rules and do my best to keep their routine the same while you’re away. I know every pet is different, and I love getting to know their personalities and routines. My goal is to make them feel safe, happy, and right at home while you’re away! 🐾❤️ I stay at home, so I have plenty of time to give pets the attention and care they need throughout the day! I’m also naturally up multiple times during the night, which allows me to check on pets regularly and provide extra care or potty breaks when needed. My flexible schedule allows me to stick to each pet’s routine and make sure they feel comfortable, safe, and well cared for during their stay! 🐾❤️ I treat every pet in my care just like one of my own! Their safety, comfort, and happiness are always my top priorities. I provide a clean, secure, and welcoming environment where pets can feel relaxed and at home. I follow each pet’s normal routine, respect their individual needs, and make sure they receive plenty of attention and affection. Whether caring for pets in my home or yours, I want you to feel confident knowing your pets are safe, loved, and well cared for! 🐾❤️

Frequently asked questions about Rover
As of November 2026, there are 227 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 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.
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.

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.
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.
