“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!”
“I cannot recommend Wenxu and her husband highly enough!! They were amazing with my dog Harry. Harry has separation anxiety and they made sure he was never alone. He was happy, healthy, and enriched! 10/10 would recommend.”
“Jennifer was awesome with my dog Toffee! Toffee has anxiety and Jennifer took great care of her! She listened to all of her needs and updated me throughout the day with pics and I picked up Toffee happy and tired out! I 100% recommend Jennifer!!”
“Michelle and her husband are friendly and accommodating. We felt at ease having our dog stay there for the day and will be using their daycare services going forward. Michelle kept us up to date through the day sending over photos during our dogs stay.”
“Heeyoung is a loving and knowledgeable caregiver. She takes time to establish her in-depth understanding of each dog. Her calming nature also helped me when leaving my babies for the first time😊🙏🏼”

About: I provide more than just pet care—I offer companionship, safety, and heartfelt attention to every animal I meet. Having grown up with dogs, I understand how each one has its own unique personality. Over the years, I’ve loved and cared for a playful pug, a loyal Labrador, and now share my life with the most amazing Golden Retriever. With this experience, your furry friend is in trusted, capable hands. Whether they need active playtime, cozy cuddles, or a calm presence, I always tailor my care to fit their individual needs. Pet care is a natural part of my daily routine—I plan my days around the needs of the pets I care for. I make sure each pet gets the attention and consistency they deserve. I’m flexible with scheduling and committed to being reliable, so you can count on me to be there when your pet needs care the most. I am fully remote, so an always home with these guys. I have a fully fenced yard for safe outdoor play. If you're comfortable, my friendly dog would love to play with yours—but only with your okay. If not, no worries—he knows the routine and will happily stay separate.
About: I’ve been a dog mom to a puggle and beagle for over 20 years. With that, I have experience with high energy and sneaky personalities! As both babies entered their senior years, I was responsible in caring for their medical needs. My sweet daughter, Ruby (the beagle in picture), recently crossed over the rainbow bridge and my home and soul has not been the same. I am not ready to fill the void with my own fur baby as of yet, but ready to share my love to others. I work remotely as a social worker 5 days a week, so your baby would have plenty of attention. I have my own car and can drive for any emergencies that may arise. Please note that I will respond to messages that are received between 9AM-10PM. I make every effort to respond within 30 minutes. However, if you do not hear from me immediately, please allow me the time to reply as I will never ignore a message. I work remotely from home, so I am flexible with caring for your fur baby in my home. With walks, I am available in the afternoon and evenings with advance notice. Important 📝: Upon booking, I will ask for a meet and greet at a neutral spot. This can be at a dog friendly cafe, a park, and/or the front and then backyard at my home to reduce any stress. For privacy and safety reasons, there will be a limited (only view certain areas) in-home tour until the booking has been finalized. I have a fenced yard if your fur baby likes to run around off leash. I would also take them on walks and/or play with them according to preferences. I have no children or other fur babies in the home but if your baby is open to children, I have two nieces and a nephew who loves dogs that are willing to share their affection! Larger Dogs: I am open and available for daycare and boarding if they are leash and recall trained. Please message me and we can further discuss if we would be a good fit!

About: I’ve been around pets all my life and have a lose cared for them. I treat all the fur babies with love and as if they are my own ❤️ I do work from home so I am able to give the fur babies attention and take them for walks I work from home and have lots of flexibility. This allows me to give your fur babies the attention they need. I am able to take them on walks and take time to play with them as well. I live in an apartment but I allow pets to roam free in my home. I do have blankets and toys as well for your pets. My apartment complex has lots of grass where they can run and play as well. If you require your pet to be in a crate I can do that as well.
“Sarah and her lovely family took care of our little Yorkie for five days while my husband and I were visiting in New York City. We were staying out on Long Island, and had event tickets each day in the city, so we needed flexible doggie day care hours to accommodate our needs. We felt so very blessed to find Sarah! She welcomed Violet into her home and treated her like family. She is very well equipped to care for any pets and has plenty of equipment and facilities thoughtfully laid out in her home and yard. She has thought of everything her guests could possible need! She kept us very well informed throughout the visit so I didn’t have to worry and wonder about our baby one bit. She obviously loves animals and treated our sweet girl like her very own. Violet was so happy to get there each day and loved playing with all the people and pets in Sarah’s household. I have only ever used day care services on Rover and really couldn’t imagine boarding our fur baby with someone other than a family member, but I wouldn’t hesitate to leave her at Sarah’s! I know I would get professional care, steady communication, and the most loving environment! I cannot recommend her more highly!”
“Cindy is always reliable, and we really appreciate her picture/video updates! She takes great care of our Chester, and he loves going to her house. She makes him feel comfortable, and we appreciate the care she provides to our beloved fur baby.”
“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!”
“It’s always a good sign when Charlie pulls on his lead to get into the sitter’s house. He seems to have enjoyed himself which makes us feel good leaving him with Kristie.”
“Trying to find a great babysitter has been one of the hardest thing I’ve ever had to do especially since I own a large breed puppy! Those feelings changed after I met Vanessa and her family. They are the most loving family I’ve ever met! I felt very assured that my german shepherd puppy was in good hands. I cannot thank Vanessa enough for the amazing service she has provided!”

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!

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 10,830 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.
