About: I grew up with all kinds of pets…Dogs, cats, birds, fish, turtle, hamster and ferret. As an adult, I took care of my parents and friend’s pets while they were out of town. I can walk, sit, feed, board and administer medicine your pet if needed. Hi! I'm Dawn, a dedicated and experienced pet caregiver passionate about keeping your furry friends happy, healthy, and active. With years of experience caring for dogs, cats and birds. I understand how much your pets mean to you, and I'm committed to providing reliable, loving care. I am a stay at home mom with three children in school.

About: With a lifetime of experience caring for various types of pets, including cats, dogs, and birds, I am well-equipped to provide excellent pet care. My one year old dog is my pride and joy, and I have also cared for a six year old German shepherd mix and a quaker parrot named Tito. Friends and family have entrusted me with the care of their pets for years, relying on my responsible and loving nature to ensure their well-being in times of need. I am dedicated, trustworthy, and passionate about providing the best possible care for all furry and feathered friends. As a teacher with summers off, I have the flexibility and availability to dedicate my time to caring for others' pets. With my regular job on hold during the summer months, I can commit to providing reliable and attentive pet care services on most days. I value this opportunity to extend my passion for nurturing and teaching to the well-being of beloved pets, ensuring they receive the love and attention they deserve while their owners are away. When caring for pets in the client's home, I prioritize creating a comfortable and familiar environment for the animals while their owners are away. I follow the established routines and instructions provided by the pet owners, including feeding schedules, exercise needs, and any special requirements such as medication administration. I ensure the pets feel safe and secure in their own surroundings by providing them with companionship, playtime, and attention to keep them happy and engaged. Additionally, I maintain open communication with the pet owners to provide updates on their furry friends and address any concerns promptly. By offering personalized care in the client's home, I aim to provide peace of mind to pet owners knowing their beloved animals are in good hands while they are away.

“Having Lauren care for my cats gave us peace of mind while we were on vacation. With each check in she sent us photos and was always available if we should have any questions. I will certainly be reaching out to her again to check in on my cats for any future vacations.”

My goal is for you and your fur baby to feel at ease and comfortable while being apart. You will be receiving picture updates from me each day! I look forward to meeting you and your furry baby!!

I will not be having other dogs in my home or walking other dogs at the same time as yours. I can walk your dog as long as you want me too. If your dog is staying with me, they can happily snuggle and sleep with me!
“Words cannot express how happy we were with the services provided by Seamus. His updates and photos put us at ease that our two cats were being well taken care of. Seamus was attentive and spent quality time with Skittles and Tomasina. When he was concerned about something ( a hairball) Seamus promptly and calmly contacted us. He treated our cats as if they were his own. We will be booking and the cats will be looking forward to their visit from Seamus in the near future.”
About: Hi, I’m Mindy — I run MindySits 🐾 I treat every pet like my own, simple as that. I’m patient, reliable, and pay attention to what each dog actually needs. Beyond pet sitting, I’m deeply involved in the rescue community and serve as a Foster Manager with BARRK Rescue, where I help oversee placements, guide fosters, and support dogs coming from difficult or uncertain backgrounds. This experience has given me a strong understanding of behavior, decompression, and how to meet each dog exactly where they are. Whether it’s walks or overnight care, I keep things calm, consistent, and make sure your pet is comfortable and well cared for. I’ll also keep you updated so you’re never wondering how things are going. Dependable care and a happy dog that’s always the goal 💛🐶 Hi! I work a hybrid schedule, home 2 days a week. My husband is home so your pup will rarely be alone. I have always been happiest with a dog close by. I live with my husband, daughter, and our dog Willie 🐾 We’re a calm, dog-loving home and I just really enjoy having animals around. I also help care for a senior dog, so I’m patient, gentle, and pay attention to what each dog needs. I’m easygoing but attentive, and I make sure every dog feels safe and comfortable while they’re with me
“Samantha was great! She took the time to meet with us before her visits to make sure everything was in order and sent great updates and pictures each day. She was flexible and even able to add on an extra day when our plans changed. Would definitely use her again in the future.”
About: I have been a Rover sitter for over 3 years now. I have great experience with walking larger, stronger breeds, and am open to house sitting just about any animal. I have been a sitter for cats, dogs, and even lizards. I have a flexible schedule with my schooling being online, and I am good with just about any activity level! From couch potato to energetic pets. I am free for a few visits/walks almost every day of the week. Weekends are better to be communicated with me in advance, but likely free as well. If I have some time in advance, I am always happy to dog/cat sit at your house. I have a very strong/energetic pitbull/dogo mix. He must be stimulated very often, so I go on 2-3 miles walks with him twice daily. My cat is a couch potato himself, and I spend my down time in the home hanging out with him, playing, and watching tv together.
About: What sets me apart from other sitters is my experience working with dogs in structured, public, and therapeutic settings. I am a high school teacher and regularly bring my certified comfort dog, Darla, into schools and community environments, so I am very comfortable handling dogs around different people, situations, and routines. I am patient, responsible, dependable, and focused on making every pet feel safe, comfortable, active, and loved while in my care. How does pet care fit into your daily or weekly routine? Pet care fits naturally into my daily routine because I already spend a lot of time caring for and working with dogs. I am a high school teacher, which gives me a consistent schedule during the school year and full availability during summers and school breaks. My schedule allows me to provide reliable walks, drop-ins, playtime, feeding, and attention throughout the week. I enjoy staying active and spending time with animals, so pet care is something I genuinely enjoy making part of my routine. I always focus on making pets feel safe, comfortable, and cared for while keeping their normal routine as consistent as possible. I follow all feeding, walking, medication, and care instructions carefully, and I pay close attention to each pet’s personality and needs. I make sure pets get plenty of exercise, supervision, affection, and clean water while maintaining a calm and trustworthy environment in both my home and my client’s home.

I can handle it all. I am free all summer for pet care! There is a short stretch of time in August where i will be away, but other than that, I am excited to meet new pet friends :) I am well versed in crating dogs, as well as keeping an eye on mischievous animals. I will follow any instructions given very carefully and ensure your pet is happy and healthy while you are away.

Siobhan is absolutely amazing! She took care of my two dogs while I was away, including one who is extremely shy and usually takes a long time to warm up to new people. Siobhan was so patient, kind, and attentive that by the end of the stay, they had become great friends. During my trip, I had an unexpected family emergency and needed to extend my time away. Siobhan was incredibly accommodating and was able to continue caring for my dogs until I returned home, which gave me tremendous peace of mind during a stressful situation. She provided detailed updates and photos after every visit, so I always knew my dogs were happy, safe, and well cared for. She even went above and beyond by bringing in packages that were delivered while I was away. Siobhan is reliable, compassionate, and truly treats your pets like her own. I couldn’t have asked for a better sitter and will absolutely be booking with her again. Highly recommend!
I was traveling to Long Island and needed a sitter to attend a wedding because I could not leave my dogs unattended in the hotel room. Karen was amazing! I booked her several months out. She was incredibly responsive and responsible. She initiated check ins as we got closer to the date. She really put my mind at ease that my dogs were in good hands. I could not say enough good things about her. My only complaint is I wish she lived closer to me!
My family and I are so grateful to have connected with Lauren! Having just moved and not knowing anybody in the area to look after our dogs, I was nervous about finding someone to help us out while we were away for a long weekend at the beach. My dogs took to Lauren immediately! She is extremely nice, down to Earth, responsive and reliable. I felt extremely comfortable with her in our home. She sent photos and updates of the pups during her visits as well. Highly recommend and am excited to book her again in the near future!
Katharine was awesome! She came to the rescue when our original plan fell through for someone to drop in and care for our dog while we were out of town for the day. Each drop-in, she was right on time, left thorough notes, and sent us photos. We sincerely appreciated her friendly demeanor and willingness to take on our last-minute request; we're so glad it worked out and we wouldn't hesitate to contact her again. Thank you Katharine!

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 Massapequa 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.
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 Massapequa 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.

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.
While Rover doesn’t offer traditional subscription services, some sitters offer recurring bookings for services like home visits and dog walking. Recurring services come with their own perks, such as flexibility to modify services (up to five weeks in advance), automatic billing, Rover Card updates, and same-day cancellations.
To find sitters in Massapequa with recurring or weekly availability, select "Repeat Weekly" and which days you’d like them to care for your pet.

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.
