About: My first job was as a dog walker when I was 12! I have grown up with cats and dogs - caring for them from puppies/kittens through to their golden years. I have also dog/house sat for a large rescue + their several senior cats! My goal is to get to know each pet I interact with so that me and your pet can enjoy our time together. Furry friends are family and I treat them as such. I have also volunteered at 2 different rescues over the past several years helping care for cats as well as walk and play with dogs of all ages. I am currently finishing my last year of medical school so my schedule is not completely free. However, I do typically have evenings, weekends, and a random day off during the week! I get my current schedule 1 month at a time and am happy to accommodate outside my scheduled hospital shifts. I am very respectful of others rules for their home and their pets. I am a tidy person who hates messes in my own home so wouldn't leave them in anyone else's.

About: I’ve owned, or have been taking care of dogs since I was 10! I’ve owned a total of 4 dogs throughout my 22 years of life, and once I was old enough, my parents trusted me to help take care of them all! This includes walks, feeding, showers, hygiene, and playing with them! I love and appreciate all breeds and all sizes, and hope you’ll consider me to take care of your fur babies! I am currently working one, part-time job, so I’ll have plenty of time to spend with your pet(s)! My schedule varies based on a self selecting schedule, however, this leaves room to work around whatever your preferred schedule is! I am very good at staying on top of communication, if there are ever any questions about when I’m home and how long I can be home for, I will be fully transparent! I have a large, fenced in yard, in the back of a spacious, and open layout home! our neighborhood is quiet, dog friendly, and has lots of safe walkways to provide your dog exercise! Me and my roommates also own a total of 3 sweet kitties, that either keep your baby company, or are easy to keep occupied in our individual spaces to provide the most comfortable environment for your dog!
“Extremely sweet and trust worthy. Meet prior to booking to show her my cats toys and try to introduce them but my grizzly was in a mood. She sent me updates and pictures while she visited grizzly which made me feel so much better. She’s an honest woman and has great experience with animals. Wouldn’t want anyone else around my fur baby!”

“Ari did a great job dropping in to take care of my cat for several days. I'd book him again and would highly recommend him to others as well. He was easy to work with and did everything as instructed.”

About: I’ve been around animals my whole life and have a deep love for caring for them—especially dogs. I have hands-on experience with a wide range of breeds, from tiny Chihuahuas to energetic Australian Shepherds and strong, loving Pit Bulls. I’ve raised and trained puppies, and I’m also comfortable providing gentle, attentive care to senior dogs with special needs. Patience, kindness, and reliability are at the heart of how I care for every pet. I’m excited to combine my passion for dogs with meaningful, trustworthy care for your furry family member. Caring for animals is a natural part of my daily life. I structure my day around the needs of the pets I’m caring for—whether that’s morning walks, mealtime routines, playtime, or quiet companionship. I make sure every pet gets the attention, love, and consistency they need to feel safe and happy. Pet care isn’t just something I do—it’s something I genuinely enjoy and look forward to each day. Whether I'm caring for pets in my home or in a client’s home, I always prioritize their comfort, safety, and routine. I take time to learn each pet’s needs—feeding schedules, energy levels, medical requirements, and favorite activities—so I can provide consistent, loving care. In my home, pets have a calm, secure space where they can relax and feel at ease. In a client’s home, I make sure to follow their routine closely to minimize stress and help their pet feel comfortable in their own environment. I treat every pet like my own and do everything I can to make them feel happy, safe, and loved.

“Cinthya dropped in to walk and feed our two dogs and we were content with knowing she would spend time with them and let them get some energy out. She kept us updated with photos and our doggies really love her!”


“Ozzy was an amazing sitter for my four cats! My girlfriend and I felt at ease while away visiting family knowing that he was checking in on our cats, and even giving my diabetic cat his meds. All the cats loved Ozzy and I would highly recommend booking with him!”

Dog parents share their Rover experiences - Locust Valley
Kaylee watched our 2 large shepherds and she was fantastic. Our dogs are very hyper dogs and both anxious in their own ways so we never feel the best leaving them with new people but Kaylee took lots of photos, our dogs were super happy and we felt so confident leaving them in her care. We will definitely use her again and recommend her to anyone looking for a loving sitter for your fur babies!

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.
Key handling is entirely up to you and your sitter to agree on during the Meet & Greet or in the Rover app. Most pet parents in Locust Valley choose to hand over a spare key or digital fob in person, while others arrange a lockbox or unique access code. Don't forget to discuss key returns as well!
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 .
The Rover Guarantee is Rover’s commitment to your peace of mind every time you book.

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 .
