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!!

If your dog is staying with me, they can happily snuggle and sleep with me!
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.

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.

About: Hi! I’ve been caring for dogs for over 13 years and have done plenty of dog and house sitting for different families. I really enjoy getting to know each pup and making sure they’re happy, comfortable, and well cared for while you’re away. Whether your dog loves to play or prefers to relax, I’m happy to spend time with them and give them the attention they need.

About: Hi! My name is Hannah, and I’m a lifelong dog lover with experience caring for dogs of many ages, sizes, and breeds. I have two black labs of my own, ages 12 and 5, so I understand the different needs that come with both senior dogs and younger, more active pups.

I live in Massapequa and am available for dog walking and pet care services Monday through Thursday up until the first week of September.

“Lily was excellent. She dropped in additional times to ensure our cat was OK even outside of the times we booked her for. She kept us updated and when we arrived back our little girl was content and well. Thank you lily!”
About: I've been caring for animals for years and have hands-on experience with both dogs and cats. I currently care for my own high-energy Shepherd mix, so I'm comfortable handling large, energetic dogs and understand the importance of patience, consistency, and reading body language. I've also cared for multiple cats while their owners were away, making sure they were fed, had fresh water, clean litter boxes, plenty of attention (or space, depending on their personality), and that their owners received regular updates for peace of mind. In addition to everyday pet care, I have experience caring for dogs with medical needs. My current dog is undergoing heartworm treatment, which has taught me how important it is to follow medication schedules, activity restrictions, and provide calm, attentive care. I also helped care for my childhood dog throughout kidney disease. Whether your pet is playful, shy, young, senior, or needs a little extra patience, I'll treat them like one of my own and make sure they feel safe, comfortable, and loved while you're away. Pet care is already a big part of my daily routine. I have a dog of my own, so I'm used to early mornings, frequent potty breaks, walks, playtime, and sticking to a schedule. I work part-time, which gives me flexibility for drop-in visits, walks, and pet sitting. I'll always make sure your pet gets the attention, exercise, and care they deserve. I care for every pet as if they were my own. I always follow each owner's instructions carefully, including feeding schedules, medications, crate routines, and exercise needs. I have experience caring for both dogs and cats, including pets with medical needs, so I'm comfortable paying close attention to behavior and making sure they stay safe, happy, and comfortable. I'll also keep you updated with plenty of photos and messages so you know your pet is in good hands.
“Janhvi was excellent. The experience felt luxurious with the way she operated. Never missed a visit, pics, vids and full report every time. Would definitely use her services again in the future.”
“Seamus watched my two dogs for a week while I was away and I would not hesitate to recommend him or enlist him to watch our pets again. From the moment we met, I felt comfortable -- Seamus clearly loves animals and they love him. I received photos and updates for each visit with my pets every day, twice a day, and he checked in with me several times outside of any requirements. This was my first time using any service to take care of the boys and it worked out so well!”
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. I have a very flexible schedule and look forward to meeting you and your loved ones. I have a fenced in yard and can keep dogs gated in a room if no one is home, unless you provide a crate. Your pet will get a lot of love in my house from me and my three children.
About: I have experience with puppies (basic training, routines) and senior dogs (gentle care, medications), and I treat every pet like my own while keeping owners updated and worry free. Pet care fits naturally into my routine since I work from home, allowing me to give dogs plenty of attention, supervision, and frequent breaks throughout the day. I also occasionally babysit for a friend nearby, which is easy to balance with pet care and never takes me far from the home. This flexibility lets me maintain consistent routines, playtime, and quality care for every pet. I follow each pet’s usual routine to help them feel comfortable and secure. I provide plenty of supervision, playtime, walks, and affection, along with feeding and any special care needed. I keep the environment safe and calm, respect house rules, and share regular updates so owners always know how their pet is doing. 🐾
“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.”
“What a pleasure it was meeting Karissa to care for our pup! She left us updated every day and shared what she was doing on each visit! Can't thank her enough for making our trip stress free! Will definitely contact her for future vacations! Gia also thanks you Karissa for taking care of her every need!! Thanks!?”
About: I absolutely Live for animals. Since I was small I knew working with animals was my passion. They bring me an extreme amount of joy and love and I promise to love and treasure your pup like it is my own. Many think of their dogs as "just dogs", I believe there is something deeper and far more special between a relationship with a person and their pet. My dogs are my family and I adore them. I have had dogs growing up my entire life, and when I was old enough to live on my own I started to rescue and foster senior and disabled dogs. I currently have a blind Pekingese who I rescued a day before euthanasia who is the love of my life, and a one eyed terrier who I rescued after being hit by car. I deny No pet, and usually I am the go to person when friends or family need a dog sitter if they are going out of town. I have worked with Both the ASPCA and Dogs without Borders in Hollywood, CA. If your pet stays with me it will be treated like my own, if I do stop in visits for walks they will enjoy time at the park and being outside. I have experience with deaf dogs, blind, and 3 legged dogs. Dogs who have been on 3x a day medicine, overly friendly dogs and the scared, timid dogs.

In the past, I have had both a cat and dog of my own. Thank you for considering me because not only does helping you out make me happy but it also helps my mental health to hang out with your cutie pets! I am very frequently available! I would definitely be open to helping out on a regular or on a week-by-week basis. Thank you for your consideration! I care for pets with all the love and compassion I have. I am looking to go into other people’s homes as I’m unable to have pets come to mine at this time. Thanks so much!

Dog parents share their Rover experiences - Massapequa
Lily has been watching our pups and house sitting for us for the last year and we are so lucky to have her! She takes amazing care of our three pups (a very shy and particular husky, a golden, and a super high energy Dutch shepherd). She manages each pups personality beautifully and all three love her, which is a big deal considering our girl dog is very particular with who she lets care for her! We never have to worry when we go away because we know that the dogs love Lily and she has a ton of experience to manage all of the different breeds and their needs! She also takes amazing care of our home and our fish while she’s here! We can’t recommend Lily highly enough!
Leaving your pets behind can be stressful, but with Suzanne, I have complete peace of mind. She looks after my two dogs with the exact same love, patience, and attention to detail that I do. She keeps me updated, manages their routines effortlessly, and my pups absolutely adore her—their tails start wagging the second they see her! If you are looking for someone reliable, trustworthy, and genuinely passionate about animals, look no further. I couldn't recommend her more highly!
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!
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!

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. 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 .

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.

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.
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.
