“Tuongvi, as always, was wonderful. Our Peggy recently had an injury and had additional medication - Tuongvi double-checked the instructions. We got so many photos throughout, so that we knew our girls were safe and happy.”
About: ever since I was 10, i’ve always taken care of dogs, whether it’s my own, or someone else’s. I I have tons of experience with puppies to senior dogs, and I always make sure to have the owner on speed dial whenever there’s possible questions or emergencies towards their pets. I’m an active person, so walking dogs isn’t a problem for me. I’ve always believed that dogs should get the same amount of exercise as us to keep them healthy, promotes better movement, and overall happiness for pets. As of right now, my schedule is completely free in the afternoon, especially on the weekends. The only days that I’m not available are major holidays. when it comes to supervising animals, I always make sure to give them my full attention. I make sure to have them in the room with me, and take the time to make sure to take them out to use the restroom every hour or two.
About: I’m an animal lover with 6 years of experience caring for pets and houses for friends and family. I understand that your pets are more than just animals—they’re part of your family, and I treat them with the same love, patience, and attention I give my own. I’m comfortable caring for dogs, cats, and other unique pets, including providing meals, fresh water, walks, playtime, companionship, medication, and plenty of cuddles. I’m also happy to maintain your pet’s normal routine while you’re away so they can feel safe and comfortable in their own home. When house sitting, I’m respectful of your space and can help keep your home tidy and secure while you’re away. I’m happy to bring in mail, water plants, take out trash, and make sure everything is cared for! I currently work part-time as a housekeeper, scheduling my services around my client's individual needs on a first-come, first-served basis to ensure that every need is met especially the needs of your beloved pet! I take pride in providing dependable, and thorough care and I prioritize the highest quality of service possible! I provide high quality service that emphasizes the pet’s safety, comfort, emotional well-being, routine, and overall care while the owner is away. What my high-quality pet care service involves • Understanding each pet individually: Every animal has a different personality, routine, comfort level, and set of needs. I take time to learn the pet’s habits, likes and dislikes, feeding schedule, exercise needs, and behaviors rather than providing one-size-fits-all care. • Maintaining their normal routine: Pets generally feel more secure when their familiar routine is maintained. This includes feeding them at their usual times, refreshing their water, cleaning litter boxes or potty areas, providing walks or playtime, and maintaining their normal sleeping and daily schedule. • Providing companionship and attention: my quality care includes genuine interaction. Depending on the pet, that may mean playing, brushing, walking, giving affection, talking to them, or simply sitting with them. For pets that experience separation anxiety, calm companionship can be especially important. • Keeping the pet safe: As your pet’s sitter I prioritize creating a secure environment and preventing situations that could put the animal at risk. This includes checking doors and gates, being mindful of hazards, monitoring interactions with other animals, and following the owner's specific safety instructions. • Observing behavior and health: As your pet sitter I pay attention and inform you about any changes in appetite, drinking, bathroom habits, energy level, mood, mobility, or behavior. Recognizing that something is different can be extremely important to your pets health and well-being. • I ensure all care instructions are completed with qualityand care regarding food, treats, medications, exercise, allergies, behavioral concerns, or special routines. • Keeping your pet's environment clean is top priority! This includes cleaning litter boxes, picking up waste in the yard, washing food and water bowls, cleaning accidents, and keeping the areas where the pet spends time comfortable and sanitary. • Providing enrichment Pets need mental stimulation as well as basic physical care. Toys, interactive play, walks, scent exploration, routine exercises, and age-appropriate activities can help prevent boredom and reduce stress. • Respecting the owner's home I ensure to treat my client's home with respect and professionalism. This means being responsible with keys and access, keeping the home secure, cleaning up after the pet, and leaving the home in good condition. • I prioritize communicating consistently providing you with reassurance that your pets are safe and doing well. A high-quality and meaningful updates about your pets day and, photos or video updates. Communication is open and honest—if something unexpected happens. My high quality services ensure and prioritize that your pet is treated with patience, compassion, responsibility, and genuine care—not simply being checked on!
“Brittany does an amazing job taking care of our older german shepherd. She has pet sat for us many times now, and we have been more than happy every time. We truly feel our girl could not be in better hands, and that is coming from someone who does not like to leave our pup. We feel very at ease when she is left in Brittany's care, its easy to see her love for animals. Brittany is extremely reliable, she is very communicative/quick to respond, and has always been very flexible with our needs. Thank you Brittany for all the care and attention you give our girl. We are lucky to have found you, and appreciate everything you do for us.”

“Jeanette was amazing with our kitten. She house sat for us just to be extra sure our girl would be ok on her first night alone, sent us lots of pictures, kept us updated, gave her meds and even left us a gift for our daughter that is due soon (so thoughtful and kind). We’re extremely over protective with our animals and we will be asking her back for sure. Thank you, Jeanette ??”


About: I have been around and owned a number of different animals all throughout my life. I have a very soft spot in my heart for dogs and kitties. I used to find stray dogs as a kid and do my best to find them a loving home. Pets make everything better! I am currently a student doing all my schoolwork online from the comfort of my home. I run a couple errands during the day but they don’t keep me away from home for long. I also have a 15 year old daughter who does homeschooling and also loves pets just as much as her mom. There’s usually always someone home to care for the animals. I have a very well fenced in backyard. I have a big front yard also that I take the pets out in but on a leash of course. I also have an elderly small female dog. I have a male young cat, he’s inside and outside so he’s not always around
About: I’ve had dogs my whole life. I’ve taken care of private commercial kennels and helped with training “challenging” dogs. I enjoy getting to know their different personalities and adjust my care accordingly. Have yet to train any of my fur babies how to make coffee, but I’ll persist! I’m retired so my schedule is very flexible. I can be available for just one day or whatever the family needs. It’s my pleasure to serve. I will stay with your dog/s the entire booking. They will be my number one priority. It’s best when they can stay in their home.
About: I have extensive experience caring for a wide range of pets with unique needs and personalities. My sister’s Bichon Frise, Stormy, has taught me how to handle grooming, daily walks, and maintaining a loving environment for smaller, high-energy breeds. My boyfriend’s cat, Kilowa, has given me experience in managing independent and playful pets, ensuring he’s well-fed, entertained, and his litter box is always clean. I’ve also cared for his Husky, Silver, who requires plenty of exercise, long walks, and patience for her energetic personality. These experiences have shaped me into a dedicated and adaptable pet caregiver who always prioritizes the well-being of the animals I care for I’m currently unemployed so I have plenty of time to attend your animals needs. I have more time to also be at your care as well. In my home, I provide a clean, secure, and comfortable space tailored to each pet’s needs, including cozy resting areas, and constant supervision. I maintain their daily routines, from feeding schedules to exercise, ensuring they feel at home and stress-free. In clients’ homes, I follow detailed care instructions to replicate the pet’s normal environment. I treat every pet with love and attention as if they were my own.
“This was my first time having a sitter come in and stay with my dog for a week, and Ariel was the perfect professional for the job. She was timely, a great communicator, and put me totally at ease so I could enjoy my vacation. Would recommend her to anyone!”

About: With 16 years of experience with pets, I can read their body language and know how to interact well with them. Neighbors trust me to take care of their pets during their holidays. Your pet can explore every corner of my home; I will not restrict them to separate spaces or lock them in backyard (I saw my neighbor pet sitter always do in that way). Your furry friend will feel relaxed and comfortable as if they are in their own home. Also, I own a well-mannered, self-trained small service dog on-site. I offer puppy training sessions and specialized care for senior pet. A complimentary dog bath is included for any boarding stay of 10days or longer. I work remotely from home, meaning i can supervise and care for your pets around the clock, seven days a week. Dogs get two daily walks — one in the morning and one in the evening. I also have a private backyard where they can relieve themselves and play freely four additional times throughout the day. My property features a secure fenced backyard, plus i have a sweet, friendly service dog. I’m passionate about pets, and strive to give your beloved pup a cozy, home-away-from-home experience.

About: I’ve been caring for animals of all kinds since I was 9 years old. Over the years, I’ve helped care for the pets of family, neighbors, and friends, along with our own family dogs and cats. I’ve also lived with a roommate who fostered multiple animals, and I was happy to help care for dogs, cats, and even a few snakes along the way. I currently share my home with a cat of my own, Zoey, who I’ve been lucky enough to love for the past 11 years. I also roommate with my little sister, who has a dog named Teddy. He has been with her since she was 17 and I was 18, and I help care for him as if he were my own—because honestly, he is my baby too. My experience includes walking, feeding, bathing, and giving plenty of attention (and affection) to every pet in my care. I’m deeply grateful for all of these moments. While I’m there to care for your fur babies, they always return the favor by blessing me with their presence, their personalities, and those moments that make each visit special. My schedule is pretty much open. I do have a part time job and go to school, but my schedule is mostly open because my job and school schedule are very flexible, so I'll have plenty of time to help and enjoy the company of your awesome dogs and cats or others. I don't mind also taking care of other animals. They need love too. I will definitely ask my clients if there are any specific needs that need to be met for each of your fur babies and respect the wishes of my pets' parents as well. I will be catering and attentive to their needs. I will be active and playful but also give them their space when they need it. Overall, I aim to make sure your pet is (Are) comfortable and you, as the parent, as well.

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.

FAQs for House Sitting - Hempstead
Frequently asked questions about Rover
As of November 2026, there are 1,010 sitters on Rover offering House Sitting across Hempstead. Enter your ZIP code to see which available sitters are closest to your home.
Beyond belly rubs and feeding schedules, a house sitter’s presence may provide an additional layer of security for your home. However, you will need to arrange overnight stays and other household tasks with your sitter when reaching out to them. Not all sitters offer the same services. Common household tasks you can negotiate include:
- Mail & deliveries: Collecting letters and packages so they don't pile up.
- Plant care: Keeping your indoor or outdoor garden hydrated.
- Trash & recycling: Taking trash cans to the curb on scheduled pickup days.
- Home security: Sitters can stay overnight to keep your home occupied.
The best way to align on expectations is during your free Meet & Greet. Use this time to provide a "home cheat sheet" that includes your preferred Hempstead walking routes, the location of your favorite pet store, and any specific quirks about your home’s security or appliances.
It’s helpful to think of house sitting as a "home base" service. Most sitters in Hempstead maintain their normal daily routines, like running errands or heading to the office, meaning your pet should be comfortable being alone for a few hours at a time. If your pet needs a little extra company, here is how to find the perfect match:
- Look for "WFH" sitters: Many sitters mention "Work from Home" on their profile to indicate they’ll be present for the majority of the day.
- Update your pet’s profile: Write down how long your pet can comfortably be left alone. This helps sitters quickly determine if their schedule aligns with your needs.
- Communicate 24/7 needs: Standard house sitting usually doesn't include constant supervision. If your pet requires round-the-clock care, be sure to discuss this upfront.
Tip: Use the Meet & Greet to confirm a sitter's typical "away" windows. Transparency ensures your pet stays happy and your sitter can plan their day effectively!
Key handling is entirely up to you and your sitter to agree on during the Meet & Greet or in the Rover app. Most pet parents in Hempstead choose to hand over a spare key or digital fob in person, while others arrange a lockbox or unique access code. Don't forget to discuss key returns as well!
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.
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 pet to the closest veterinarian. Through our Trust & Safety support team, sitters can ask for diagnostic advice from a qualified veterinary professional if your pet 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.
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.
