About: Hello! My name is Julissa. I have so much love for all pets and animals. Growing up, i’ve always had a dog in the house, and they were always such an important member of our family. It’s been about five years since I’ve had a dog of my own. My last dog’s name was Sasha. We adopted her when she was six and had her until she was about thirteen. She was so smart, loving, and anxious when we first got her so our first few years together were spent establishing trust. Eventually we managed to off-leash train and we worked a lot on her recall so that we could enjoy longer walks and outdoor activities while ensuring that she always felt safe in her environment. At home we set her bed up in the kitchen, where we would pass our time cooking and spending a lot of quality time together. I had so many good years with my Sasha, and since she passed I have genuinely missed spending time with animals on a consistent basis. Since then, most if not all of my friends and family have entrusted me with taking care of their animals when they are busy or traveling, so I’ve had a lot of experience with many different pets and their varying needs/personalities. I work freelance as an artist. I am a musician, so I often stay at home practicing or composing. However most of my work is in the film industry, and this work ranges from smaller independent projects to network television. Although I do work on set sometimes, I try to take on as many post-production gigs as possible, so I often find myself sitting behind a desk all day. I have always made it a priority to work in a field that I am passionate about, and my decision to work with Rover has been no different. Caring for animals is not only something I am passionate about, but also a wonderful opportunity to go on walks and spend quality time with pets. I will always be very clear about any changes in my work schedule if those are to arise, but my reliability and dedication never wavers I have a fenced in yard and plenty of spaces in the house for your pet to wander and feel comfortable. I am also very trust worthy, organized, communicative, and extremely eager to work with you!
About: Hi there! I’m a proud dog mom to a sweet Cavapoo I’ve raised since he was just 10 weeks old, so I know firsthand how much love and care our furry family members need. Over the years, I’ve also cared for friends’ dogs while they were away, making sure they felt safe, happy, and loved. I truly adore dogs of all kinds, and my pup is very friendly with both people and other dogs—so your fur baby will always have a gentle companion nearby. I’d love the chance to give your dog the same care and attention I give my own. I work from home 1-2 days per week so I’ll be available to stay with your pets full time for up to 4 days. Except Tuesdays and Wednesdays, I can work from home any day I want during the week. I’m able to work from home full week if needed for longer boarding services. I will feed them, take them out for walks at least twice a day, let them have potty breaks as many as they need, and play with them.
“Michelle was a wonderful guardian for Asher while we were away on vacation. Her videos and photos gave us a lot of reassurance for our first time leaving him home over an extended period. We are so appreciative of all the work she puts in!”

“Angela did an excellent job watching and feeding my cat and fish while I was gone for the weekend. We'll definitely be requesting her again in future when we're out of town and need sometime to take care of our animals!”


“Thaisha was a great sitter for our pets over the holidays. She was communicative, easy to get in touch with, and did great with our big dog who is very fearful of new people. We would definitely book her again! Thanks Thaisha!”

“I highly recommend Hannah’s services. She took excellent care of both of my cats, making sure they were fed and well looked after during my absence. Communication was outstanding throughout the entire process. She was reliable, professional, responsive, and provided peace of mind knowing my pets were in good hands. It is clear that she genuinely cares about animals and takes her responsibilities seriously. I would not hesitate to hire her again and would confidently recommend her to anyone looking for a trustworthy and dependable pet sitter.”

About: I had a Bichon and took care of him for 15 year, love him so much! He played with me and sleep with me every day I can be at home full time from Friday to Monday, taking care of the dogs, and being flexible for checking on her/him almost anytime I have fenced back yard that dogs can walk and run around, also I have plenty of pets toys that can be provided for dogs

“Vee and Steven have done drop-ins for our rescue Frenchie, Tank, since we both went back to work, and we don't know what we'd do without them. Tank came from a puppy mill with medical needs and separation anxiety, so we were nervous about leaving him. They've been incredible with him. Every visit comes with detailed notes and photos, so we always know how he's doing. They spotted a sore on his paw before we did and flagged it right away. They towel him off and clean his paws without being asked, and they're endlessly patient on rainy days, which he hates. They've also given us genuinely helpful suggestions as we've worked out his setup. You can tell they really care about him. Highly recommend.”

About: I have been an animal lover my entire life, and dogs are the greatest animal of all. I currently volunteer at North Shore Animal League as well as the Hope for Cleo Animal Rescue in Suffolk. Love to play and give all the pets to our furry friends! I am a newly-licensed Registered Nurse taking a much-needed vacation. My schedule is 13 days a month at work, and the rest are off days, leaving plenty of time to walk doggies and drop in for potty breaks and play time. My dogs have always lived with a fenced-in yard, but I am not currently offering housing/boarding services. I am willing to travel to help take care of your pup!
About: I have a 4 year old Samoyed and love caring for pets like they’re family. I understand that sometimes you want to be with your pet but don’t have the time. I’m here to help and make sure your pet feels safe and happy while you’re away. Pet care is a big part of my daily routine. I’m flexible and happy to adjust my schedule to fit your pet’s needs. We can talk through all the details to make sure your pet gets the best care possible. I prefer caring for pets in their own home so they feel safe and comfortable. I’ll take your dog for walks, feed them, and spend time playing and keeping them company.
About: I’m an attentive sitter only with experience caring for my family’s brown dachshund, Snickers (yes like after the Snickers bar lol), over the past year. I may not have formal pet‑care training, but I have a natural ease with animals and a friendly, patient presence that helps them feel comfortable. I’m reliable, gentle, and committed to making your pet feel safe, happy, and well‑cared‑for. I currently work full-time Monday through Friday on a hybrid schedule. I can work around my work schedule and supplying care on the weekends and in the early afternoon and evenings during the weekdays. Although all options won’t be available at once every week, those would be my typical options. As far as pet care, of course there’s feeding, walking, playing and exercising, and general comfort of the pet. I will be willing to supply whatever needs specific to that pet given the instruction from the owner.
About: I've cared for both dogs and cats my whole life-- I've never lived without a pet! I also have experience as a volunteer caretaker through my local animal shelter, and a deep passion for animal welfare and happiness. I work part-time and am a part-time student, so please check my calendar for availability. I have class from 4-9pm Tuesday & Wednesday and my work schedule is typically the day shift on Monday and Thursday. Again, if there are any deviances, I will mark them on the calendar! I'm happy to let your pet set the pace-- if they're a cuddle bug, I'll give them snuggles, and if they need some time to warm up, I'll sit quietly while they get used to me. If your puppy feels the need for speed, I'll take him on a sprightly jog, but if your senior prefers to take the scenic route, we can stop and sniff every tree. I'll listen to your instructions and preferences and theirs.
About: From long walks to slow sniffy adventures, I’m happy to match your dog’s vibe. I’m easygoing, reliable, and love getting to know each dog’s personality. Your dog’s safety, comfort, and happiness are always my priority—and I’ll send photo updates so you can see how they’re doing along the way 🐾 Right now, I’m available for dog walks and drop-in visits. I’m typically available on Fridays and throughout the weekends; sometimes I am free during the weekdays outside 9-5. If you have any questions or a specific time in mind, feel free to reach out and I’ll do my best to accommodate. I always prioritize safety, trust, and respect when caring for pets in your home. I follow all instructions carefully and treat everything with care. I do this work out of genuine love for animals and always treat each pet as if they were my own. I’m easy to communicate with and quick to respond, and I can send regular photo updates if you’d like.
About: Huge animal lover! Experience with small- Large dogs. Very active, can run with your dog and cuddle with them when you're not around. Can run with your dog, play, and cuddle with them when you're not around. Anytime you need your dog to be walked when you're running out last minute, I'm only a click away! I'll happily walk your pooch and make sure they get to enjoy the outdoors. I am very careful and will always keep a close eye on your pet like they're my own. I'd be happy to meet with you prior to meeting your dog so that you can be sure you're leaving your pet in the right hands. Hope to talk soon! :) Whenever I'm available, I would love to take care of your dog! Dogs are my favorite animals. I love them more than humans. Thank you! I love and treat every animal the same I would to a human. With respect and care. I love animals more than anything. I miss my little boy (Yorkie) that passed away recently so I love to spend as much time with dogs as possible to try to fill the void.
About: I treat every dog and puppy like family! I’m loving, patient, and always ready for walks, playtime, cuddles, and lots of belly rubs and cuddles! It’s something that I’d like to do, if It’s possible to do it everyday and meet new cuddly friends, I’d love to have that opportunity to help! I’ll make sure they get comfortable with me and that they aren’t scared or timid. That isn’t what I’m there for, I want the pets to know that I am there to care for them so they can have fun!
About: Animals seem to naturally feel safe around me—maybe it’s my calm energy or my soft voice. I’ve cared for both dogs and cats of all ages, including shy rescues, energetic puppies, and slow-moving seniors. I pay close attention to their body language, routines, and needs, and I always approach each pet with patience, presence, and respect. I’ve taken care of friends’ dogs and cats many times—whether it’s daily walks, playtime, giving meds, or just being there for extra cuddles. I’m especially attuned to each pet’s energy and comfort level, which helps even shy or anxious pets feel safe with me. I also have cats of my own, so I know how important routine, gentleness, and trust are. What sets me apart is my ability to create a quiet, comforting space for pets to feel secure while their humans are away. I don’t just “watch” them—I keep them company, help them regulate, and make sure they feel loved and safe. Caring for animals has always been a natural part of my life. Whether I’m at home with my own cats or looking after a friend’s dog, it blends easily into my daily rhythm. I work from home with a flexible schedule, so I’m able to give pets the time, attention, and presence they deserve—whether that means walks, feeding, or simply hanging out and keeping them company. When I’m walking your dog, I treat it like their time to enjoy the world—lots of sniffing, steady pacing, and checking in with how they’re feeling. I’m always alert, use secure gear, and steer clear of anything that might stress them out. No distractions, just full attention on your pup. If I’m staying in your home, I try to keep everything feeling familiar and calm. I follow your pet’s routine closely—meals, meds, play, or just chill time—and stay mindful of how they’re doing emotionally, too. I move gently through your space and treat both your home and your pet with care and respect, like I would my own.

Pet parents share their Rover experiences - Little Neck
This was our first time having Michelle as our pet sitter. She was wonderful at communicating, and very thorough in searching for our cat who is always wins at Hide & Seek. We returned to find our home exactly as we left it, she took the litter to the outdoor trash, etc. Highly recommend this lady if you need someone who cares and understands animals!

Lawrence is an exceptional pet sitter and is a clear and effective communicator. He was patient with our shy cat and explained in detail his plan to make her comfortable. By his third visit our girl was clearly obsessed with him! He has a special way with animals and it’s evident in the way he cares for them. We would book with him every time if possible!

Cynthia was AMAZING!! She took such great care of my cat while I was away. She was responsive, checked in, super easy to communicate with, very kind and nurturing, and made the whole process a dream. I will definitely be booking again. I felt that my cat was in safe and loving hands while I was away for a week. 100000/10!!!!

Gerry and Samantha were the best pet sitters I could’ve imagined! They were attentive and communicative throughout the whole trip and they bonded really well with my cats. The best part of my day while traveling was when I would receive Jerry’s photos from their check ins. I definitely recommend :)

Frequently asked questions about Rover
The average cost of Pet Sitting in Little Neck is $24 per visit as of November 2026. Most bookings cost between $16 and $42 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 27,184 sitters on Rover offering Pet Sitting across Little Neck. 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 Little Neck. On Rover:
- 83% of sitters can help with special care needs
- 87% can help with giving oral medications or injections
- 94% 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.
