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: 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’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.

“Sage is such a gift! Over our extended absence (3+ weeks), Sage was responsive to Grace’s needs, using her impressive decision making skills demonstrative of her wide knowledge base. She took excellent care of our home and completed routine tasks to ensure our home was secure during our absence and more pleasant than we left it upon our return. The best accolades I can offer about Sage came from Grace herself. She is an old Russian Blue with a history of kidney problems. She also has a tendency to anxiously lick her body and develop irritated areas on her abdomen. She also is prone to dander. Sage clearly took pristine care of her, brushing and supplementing diet as needed without direction, as Grace looked and behaved absolutely beautifully upon our return. I would hire Sage to care for my sweet Grace without reservation again. I strongly recommend Sage due to her innate gift with animals. She is also adaptable and innovative and has the confidence to do what is best without direct instruction. Finally her responsiveness and reliability were reassuring. I recommend Sage without and reservation! You will be lucky to have her skilled help!”
About: I have owned and operated my own dog boarding business for the last 5 years. I have also been blessed through those years, of caring for dogs & being able to meet ALL their wonderful humans!! I also opened Arizona's 1st Doggy Ice Cream Bar in 2023 and it was so much fun!! 🐶🎉 I truly love our 4 legged friends and I think it shows in my news articles/reviews. I don't think you will ever find another sitter that will care for your pup like I do!! ☺️♥️🐶 It is ALL day... EVERYDAY!! I revolve around their schedule! THEY come first!! Dogs are my LIFE & I wouldn't want it any other way!! 😅♥️🐶👍 I can accommodate the dog to WHATEVER the owner wants FOR the dog. It's ALL about "Them". Their needs come first and I can assure you that those needs will be met.

I do not have enough good things to say regarding the outstanding job Michael did taking care of my GSP, Ruger. He is a very high strung, routine oriented dog that does not like change. Michael followed my notes and training commands, took charge and the visit went smoothly. You could immediately discern Michel’s knowledge, experience and expertise working with dogs.

The average cost of Pet Sitting in Hempstead is $22 per visit as of November 2026. Most bookings cost between $17 and $24 per visit. On Rover, sitters set their own rates based on factors such as their experience, the length of care, the number of pets, and your pet’s specific needs. As long as your booking dates and pet profiles are accurate, the price shown before you confirm is the total, including any booking fee.
As of November 2026, there are 1,805 sitters on Rover offering Pet Sitting across Hempstead. Enter your ZIP code to see which available sitters are closest to your home.
You and your sitter can agree on a care schedule that fits your pet’s routine and the sitter’s availability. Pet Sitting can be booked as a one-time or recurring drop-in visit. If you need overnight care or dog walks, you may also be able to book House Sitting or Dog Walking through Rover with the same sitter, provided they offer those services.
Before booking, confirm:
- the timing, length, and frequency of visits;
- the care instructions the sitter should follow;
- which parts of your pet’s usual routine should be prioritized;
- how often you would like to receive messages, photos, or other updates.
Not every sitter offers the same services, availability, or booking options. Review their profile and discuss the care you need through Rover before booking each service.
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.
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.
Yes, you can find sitters who have experience with handling special pet needs in Hempstead. On Rover:
- 89% of sitters can help with special care needs
- 95% can help with giving oral medications or injections
- 96% 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.
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.
