About: I bring years of hands-on experience in pet care, including time as a veterinary assistant and my ongoing work with the Town of Hempstead Animal Shelter as both a rescuer and foster. I’ve cared for pets of all kinds — from dogs and cats to birds and exotics — and I’m comfortable with animals who need extra patience, whether it’s shy rescues, energetic puppies, or seniors needing gentle support. What sets me apart is my ability to combine professional training with compassionate care. I’m skilled at reading animal behavior, keeping pets safe, and making them feel at ease in new situations. Whether your pet needs medication, structured playtime, or just some extra cuddles, I treat every animal as if they were my own. Pet care is a natural part of my daily life — I’ve built my schedule around it. Between my own pets, fostering, and volunteering with the Town of Hempstead Animal Shelter, I’m used to giving animals consistent attention, exercise, and enrichment every day. Whether it’s early morning walks, midday drop-ins, or evening feedings and cuddle time, I’m flexible and happy to adjust to your pet’s routine so they feel safe and comfortable while you’re away. Your pet’s safety and comfort are always my top priorities. In your home, I follow your routines closely — from feeding schedules to favorite walking routes — so your pet feels secure and stress-free. I take the time to learn their cues and make sure they always have fresh water, exercise, and plenty of love. If caring for pets in my home, I create a safe, supervised environment where they get attention, enrichment, and space to relax. Because of my background as a vet assistant, foster, and rescue worker, I’m experienced in monitoring health, administering medications, and keeping pets calm in new situations. Above all, I value trust — I treat your pets and your home with the same respect and care I’d want for my own.
“Rachel is wonderful :) My two rescues can be quite reactive and skittish to just about any change in lifestyle. She's more than willing to jump right in & find what works for everyone. I will be using her as a regular sitter from here on out!”
About: I have had dogs sinceI was a child. I know how to do basic puppy obedience training, specialized diets, senior care, long walks, training new fun tricks, bathing, and more! I can work almost any day of the week if given notice in advance! I am a very active person and can do multiple walks per day if nessecary I can easily crate dogs and deescalate situations that may be hard to handle. I keep all belongings and other items out of reach from the dog, including table food, and anything else that we don’t want out fur babies getting into!

“Harshita was a great sitter! She performed all her tasks meticulously. I wasn’t worried about my cats while they were under her care. I had peace of mind while my family and I traveled overseas. I also appreciated how she went above and beyond to tidy up the house before the booking reservation was over. She took out the garbage, cleaned up around the litter and food area, swept and did the dishes. I can’t recommend her enough and will definitely rebook her for the future!”

“Chrissy did an outstanding job taking care of my puppy. I was very worried about leaving my puppy alone for the first time but Chrissy eased my concerns.

Janhvi provided such great care to my dog, Gracie. She gave Gracie lots of attention and I had such peace of mind that my dog was in excellent hands. I was also grateful that at each visit she notified me and sent photos for me to see how happy Gracie was in her care.
Stephanie once again cared for my four cats -- this time for 10 days. She is so great to work with. Responsive and responsible. She sent pictures daily, spent time giving my curmudgeonly kitties love and play time, and ultimately allowed me to enjoy my vacation without a single worry. She is just a wonderful.
Katelyn is one of the best pet sitters in Rover! She’s consistent and reliable. She gives me daily updates of my babies and pictures, their litterboxes get cleaned and food/water refilled. She goes above and beyond and takes out the litter/trash. I’m confident that my babies are cared for whenever I go on vacation. Highly recommended!
Elaina has been taking care of Max and Coco 4 days a week for several months now and they both just adore her! I have found Elaina to be loving and attentive with both, even getting Max to take his medicine even though he is a pretty stubborn little man! Elaina has been great about communicating with me after each visit and has been super flexible in terms of our schedule. Simply put, you will not find a better friend and care giver for your pet! Thanks Elaina!!

Rover makes budgeting the cost of Pet Sitting easy. As long as your dates and pet profiles are correct, the price you see before you book is the same price you pay for Pet Sitting. For more information on service fees, click here .

A pet sitter can provide focused care sessions, help your pet’s routine stay on track, or keep you updated on your pet’s mood and energy levels.
Whether you’re at the office for the day or traveling for a few nights, a pet sitter can offer potty breaks during a Hicksville stroll, cleaning the litter box, or making sure your pet has on-time food or water refills. For daytime services like walking and drop-ins, you can also request sitters to send a report card with every visit.
Tip: You can discuss your specific arrangements with a pet sitter on Rover to what fits you, your pet, and your sitter’s needs. To find what their special skills are, look at the "Skills" and "Pet care experience" sections on their profile.
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 Hicksville. On Rover:
- 88% of sitters can help with special care needs
- 92% 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 short introductory meeting between you, your pet, 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.
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.
