“Alissa is super nice and down to earth. We met with her for a meet and greet and my dog was comfortable with her and her home right away. She has two super sweet dogs of her own and her home is beautiful and cozy. She is quick to respond and has proven to be reliable and trustworthy. I would highly recommend her!”

“My dog MoMo is afraid of other dogs, but loves people very much. I truly appreciated the lady Kajal’s professional knowledge in taking care of MoMo’s individual personality by separating MoMo and her own lovely puppy Sunny, after her effort to try to make two dogs get along with each other. During MoMo’s playdate, Kajal kept me informed by sending several pictures and videos, and many texts to update MoMo’s current situation. Kajal is very sweet, responsive, reliable and trustworthy. Her whole family members love dogs very much which make me feel even more comfortable. Thanks Rover to let me know such a professional lady who can take care of my dog when I am away, and make my dog feel like home away home.”

“Jennifer was great! when I dropped off my pooch I was so nervous I couldn't get past the stop sign.... and I was having him sat so I could enjoy a spa day. at the ultimate spa palace spa castle in queens ny! this was my 1st time leaving my baby with a stranger. well Jennifer reassured me with both texts and photos thought the entire time I was away. my pup mink loves his time there with her pup and family. when we got home he knocked out for the entire night. I will certainly be using Jennifer's day care again. maybe just so mink can play she also has a 22 yr old grey parrot who blew minks mind lol. so now I can add birds onto his long list of friend creatures. thank you again jennifer!”
About: I have been living with a dog (at one time with 3) since 2010. We recently said goodbye to our lab/retriever mix and are not quite yet ready to adopt a dog again but we miss having a dog around. As a pet parent I understand how stressful it can be finding reliable care and finding someone who will love your dog as much you do. It can also be tough when you find out you have to work late and will need someone to come to your rescue to let your baby out and feed them. When I’m not walking dogs, I’m taking care of my human children (who also love dogs) which means I have a somewhat flexible schedule, and I spend a lot of time outdoors. We have always found lots of fun outdoor bonding opportunities everywhere we have lived with our dog. We both love being outside and being active and I would love to share this hobby with your dog too! I am a full time mom to two school aged children. I have reliable blocks of availability for the most part. I am in and out during the day and my husband works from home a lot of the time as qell. We’re very big on walks, dog parks, fetch (our sweet pup was inexhaustible and could play fetch for hours), and my kids practically live in our yard so I’m outdoors a lot when I’m home. When caring for a pet in a client’s home, I follow the care instructions given by the pet parent.
About: For quite a few years I’ve taken care of dogs for family members, families all over Long Island and never disappointed! I’ve loved dogs all my life and still do. They’re honestly like family to me and I always treat my family with care, respect and love which is what a dog needs. I also have 2 dogs of my own and they is just the best thing that happened to me honestly and that’s why I’m working for this company because I’ve found something that I could work for and love doing what I do at the same time. I treat every dog like they’re mine! Every dog that has been to my house they are treated like our family, care for every one of them. I am home full time! Sometimes I go out to run a few errands which means I put the dogs in a crate but my mother works from home 2 days out of the week so if she’s there, she’ll keep them out and moving around on their own! Other than that, I am very free! Other than that, they will be taken great care of by me. In my home I have a huge clean yard that runs through the back, side and front it is fenced so the dogs could run freely around for daily exercise. I also love to walk so if your dog also loves to, we will definitely be a great match! I have two dogs of my own that’ll keep your lovely dog(s) company. They are very playful and welcoming, one is 6 years old and the other one is 5 years old, with all their shots and up to date with all doctor appointments. This is a smoke free house also. Your baby will be happy & safe here!
“Julia was so great with nori! She sent lots of pictures and communication was quick, easy and efficient. I felt so safe leaving her with Julia at her house and they spent a lot of time outside.”
“Liying was wonderful! She accommodated Freddie on very short notice while I was at work and was communicative, active, and incredibly attentive to Freddie’s needs. I felt completely comfortable knowing Freddie was in great hands. Highly recommend!”
“Karina is polite, trustworthy and very attentive when we have our watch our dog. She sends lots of pictures and videos and keeps me updated throughout my dogs visit!”
“Cynthia was great with my senior dog Lulu. Finding someone trustworthy and experienced to watch a senior dog can be stressful, but Cynthia gave me complete peace of mind. She was attentive, patient, and communicative. Highly recommend Cynthia to anyone looking for a loving and reliable pet sitter!”
“I fear words pale in describing how fantastic Kayla and her family are! Todd simply did not want to leave, and she is wonderfully communicative, thoughtful, and patient. In short, she and her family are magnificent!”

Alissa was amazing and very sweet. She was quick to respond and sent many photos and videos of our pup having fun. She let us know that he ate and even napped which speaks to how comfortable and safe he felt in Alissa’s care. She was also very accommodating to our questions. Definitely would book again 🤍🐾
It usually takes our chihuahua, Louie, a while to warm up to new people. However, he warmed up to Patricia right away! He was so comfortable in her home that he sat on her lap during the first doggie day care session. Patricia is very attentive, extremely knowledgeable, and treated Louie like her own pet. We are very fortunate to have found Patricia!

Frequently asked questions about Rover
The average cost for Doggy Day Care in Hicksville on Rover is $36.38 per day (as of September 2026). However, all sitters set their own rates based on experience, location, and availability.

Sitters on Rover can offer flexible scheduling, so you can coordinate times that work best for you and your pet—whether that’s early drop-off or later pick-up to match your Hicksville commute.
If your schedule changes, it’s best to let your sitter know through the app as early as possible. Many sitters can adjust pick-up and drop-off times when needed.
Think of doggy day care as your dog’s fun, supervised play date that happens to fit into your workday. Day care through Rover takes place in a real home. This offers a calmer and more personalized environment for your pup.
A typical day can include companionship, one-on-one attention, and same day pick-up and drop-off. Many sitters can also offer structured routines and exercise throughout the day. For recurring, weekly day care, sitters will include photo updates so you can see your dog in their element.
Here are tips for finding the ideal day care fit for your dog:
- For some small dogs: In-home day care can be the perfect fit. Look for sitters whose "can host" section only lists dogs weighing 0–7 kilograms and/or 7–18 kilograms. During your Meet & Greet, ask about play areas based on dog size and energy level.
- For high-energy dogs: The ideal doggy day care can offer scheduled breaks and outdoor spaces or activities. You can also find sitters who host multiple dogs to satisfy your pup’s socializing needs.
- For dogs who prefer human-only companionship: Use the filters "Doesn't own a dog" and "Only accepts one pet at a time" to find the right care.
Play groups can be an option when you book with a day care sitter through Rover. Many sitters do host a small number of dogs at the same time. Smaller dog packs are generally safer, more fun, and ideal for dogs who enjoy playtime but also want to relax throughout the day. When looking for your dog’s pack, check the sitter’s profile to see if they "Accept multiple clients" or have their own dogs. Then during the Meet & Greet, you can see whether your dog is a good fit for their social circle!
While each sitter sets their own vaccine requirements, staying up-to-date on your dog’s vaccines is the best way to be "boarding ready". Vaccinations help create a safe environment for all pets under a sitter’s care.
Many sitters in NY ask that dogs be up to date on core vaccines like the Canine Parvovirus, Canine Distemper, Canine Adenovirus, Bordetella, and Rabies.
By discussing your pet's health history early, you’re adding a layer of confidence for you and your sitter before the booking begins.
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 short introductory meeting between you, your dog, and a sitter. It can take place in person or virtually, although we recommend in-person so that your pet can get to know your sitter 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. Most pet parents and sitters on Rover welcome Meet & Greets because the process can give confidence and peace of mind for service experiences, especially for longer stays or first-time bookings.
Yes, Rover is well-suited for finding sitters who can care for your pet within 24 hours. With 10,746 sitters in Hicksville, 87% respond to messages in under an hour.
You can message multiple sitters simultaneously to find the fastest available match. If you need care today or tomorrow, you can look for sitters with a "calendar last updated" notice on their profiles.
Sitters on Rover set their own cancellation policy, which you can find on their profile under their calendar availability.
Cancelling before a booking begins and before the sitter's cutoff time qualifies you for a full refund. Same-day cancellations for walks, day care, and drop-ins follow the full refund policy. Otherwise, for dog boarding and house sitting, you will receive a 50% refund for the first seven days of the booking and a 100% refund for the remaining days when you cancel the same day a booking should begin.
If your sitter needs to cancel within seven days of the booking's start date, then our reservation protection will kick in. This means our support team works with you to find a replacement sitter.
