About: I have been caring for my own dogs for 20+ years. I am available after 5:00pm on weekdays, and requested times on weekends, and I am very accommodating to special dog needs such as length of walks and staying within certain areas. I also worked at a dog shelter and have worked with dogs of all ages and sizes. I Iove getting to know each individual dog and their personalities. I will treat your dog as if it is my own, and am comfortable giving oral medication to your dog. Depending on requests, I can also take dogs on car rides and to the park/beach. Occasionally, I may also treat your dog to a new toy/treat from a local pet store or pet friendly food shop. I currently work during the day on weekdays, but I am available after 5:00 and am available on weekends when you may need! I am happy to do short check-ins or walks. I can take your dog to any required destination, or spend the day with them! I am happy to care for your fur baby in your home or within an area upon request! I am not able to board/care for animals in my home.
“Selena has been sitting our cat for almost a year now - we cannot recommend her enough! She is great with our introverted cat and she also has been kind enough to keep an eye on things that can improve unprompted (i.e. cleaning out our water fountain, bringing in a package, etc.). She is a professional and great with animals and our home.”

About: I’ve been around dogs for as long as I can remember. Growing up in a ranch-style home, we had dogs of many different breeds, sizes, and personalities, so caring for them has always been a natural part of my life. I’ve also had dogs of my own since I was around 14 and have cared for them through every stage of life, from playful younger years to their senior years. Because of that, I’m comfortable with different temperaments, routines, energy levels, and the extra patience older dogs may need. I truly enjoy being around dogs and would care for your pet with the same attention and affection I give my own. I work during the week, but I’m available before and after work, in the evenings, and on weekends. I’m happy to work around your pet’s usual routine for walks, feeding, playtime, and companionship. I treat every pet as if they were my own and always follow the owner’s instructions carefully. I make sure pets are supervised, comfortable, and safe, and I’m attentive to their individual routines, personalities, and needs. I’m also happy to provide updates and photos while they’re in my care.
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. I know how important it is to trust someone with your pets, and I treat every dog like they’re my own. I’d love to meet you and your pups! I’m available early mornings, Tuesday, Friday, Saturday, and Sunday afternoons, plus most evenings. I’m also comfortable caring for multiple dogs at once. Happy to figure out the schedule that works best! I care for pets in the comfort of their own home through visits and dog walks. I'm comfortable caring for dogs of all ages, sizes, and energy levels. Whether your pup needs a walk, feeding, potty breaks, playtime, or just some company, I'll make sure they feel safe, happy, and well cared for while you're away.

“Sarah was great in helping me out with checking in on my dog with last second notice. She was a huge help while I was gone for 24 hours. She’s prompt in responding as well which is always nice. I look forward to her spending more time with Luna in the future’”


“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!”


About: I’ve had cats and dogs most of my life and love working with all kinds of animals. I have experience working with my aunt at her dog kennel. I’ve handled breeds of various sizes with different personalities including Rottweilers and Pibull mixes.I’m always prepared for the unexpected and willing to care for and treat your pets as if they were my own! I also have experience in administering medication if necessary and will always honor special request requests for your canine companion. I am currently only dedicating my time to dog walking during and sitting at this time. I’m extremely flexible and available during weekdays to accommodate you and your beloved pets. I have a sweet cat who I’ve been caring for since October who came to us as a stray. I also care for two lovable guinea pigs, who I took in as rescues and I provide them with the best care and life possible! My experience with dogs has always been ensuring long walks and plenty of play time. Your pets will be loved and adored as if they were my own and special needs animals are welcome! I have cared for my own cats with hypothyroidism and diabetes. My experience with administering medication is currently only with pills and liquid medicines typically incorporated into food or treats.
About: Your Pets Are Family And I’ll Treat Them That Way! Hi! I have a deep passion for animal care I have hands on experience providing dog walking, drop-in visits, overnight pet sitting, and farm sitting, and I’m comfortable caring for pets with different personalities, energy levels, routines, and individual needs. I have done animals from dogs, cats , to turtles, lizards, chickens, donkeys, horses, pigs, goats, ducks etc! I have cared for multiple animals throughout the day, including walks, feeding, playtime, park visits, enrichment, and companionship. I also have experience with overnight stays, administering oral medications according to owner instructions, managing feeding schedules and dietary restrictions, and keeping pet areas clean and comfortable. I understand that every pet is different, so I take the time to follow your instructions and keep their normal routine as consistent as possible while you're away. Whether your pup needs a long walk, a little extra playtime, medication, lots of cuddles, or simply someone to keep them company, I’m happy to be there for them. 🐶❤️ I’m dependable, communicative, attentive, and compassionate, and I want you to feel completely comfortable knowing your pets are in good hands. My goal is to make your time away as stress-free as possible for both you **and** your pets. I’d love the opportunity to meet your furry family and give them the same love and attention I would give my own! 🐾 I am available monday through sunday! i live nearby in bellmore and can drive wherever you need to! i have an open and flexible schedule I have crate and all safety knowledge from working at multiple pet and farm sitting companies including california, new york and tennesee ! Watching for a pet can be like caring for a newborn. I always make sure if there are any fences or gates they are closed before letting mine or anyone’s pet outside. I take precautions with walks with the heat with paw balm and making sure the leash is on correctly and stays on a different side of the street from other dogs with a strong grip. Safety always comes first and working with dogs you learn to make sure every precaution is taken with safety.
About: Hi! My name is Jennifer. I am 33 years old . I majored in business. I am a fun, responsible, caring, loving person. I love animals more than anything! I will take care your fur baby, as if they were my own! I have been taking care of pets since 2016. I have also saved more than a dozen pets who roam the streets and have nowhere to go. Even the aggressive ones. Medically- I know animal CPR. I know how to give a pet medication. I have taken care of very elderly dogs, handicapped dogs. Deaf or blind. there are pets who are both deaf & blind and I am extra on top of them. I am used to very energetic dogs! So, that is not an issue. I have dealt with very shy & scares dogs as well. Who leaves my home with a brand new personality! I have a big & fenced backyard. It is locked on top and boarded on the bottom. No way in, no way out! If you currently crate training your pet, I can easily continue to crate train here. Lastly, if your pet is under my care they will be as safe as they can be! You will receive updates and photos throughout the day. I will follow the same schedule that they have at home, with me! :) I work from home 24/7. I am available all day to tend to your pet. I am available any time unless I am booked. :) I will always be with your pet at all times. They will never leave my side. Safety takes a HUGE ROLE in my services. My backyard is fully fenced in. Boarded from the bottom, locked on top. No way in, no way out. My backyard/home is a very safe environment for any pet that comes & goes.
About: Dogs have been part of my life for as long as I can remember, and I genuinely can’t imagine a home without animals in it! Today, my home is happily full with three dogs, a cat, and two little boys, so caring for others is pretty much second nature to me. Two of my dogs and my cat are rescues, which has also given me experience with animals who may need a little extra patience, reassurance, and time to feel comfortable. I’ve loved dogs of all breeds and sizes over the years—from Great Danes and English Bulldogs to Golden Retrievers—and I truly believe every dog has their own personality, quirks, and way of communicating what they need. I’m patient, attentive, affectionate, and always respectful of the routines and boundaries their families have established. As a pet parent myself, I also understand how much trust it takes to hand your dog’s leash over to someone else. I’ll treat your dog the way I would want someone to treat mine: with kindness, patience, attention, and lots of love. I originally joined Rover years ago simply because spending time with dogs sounded like the best job imaginable. All these years later, that really hasn’t changed. 🐾❤️ I currently work a hybrid schedule, which gives me plenty of flexibility for walks and drop-ins throughout the week. I especially love early morning and evening walks! As a lifelong dog owner with three dogs of my own, pet care is already a big part of my everyday routine. Your pet’s safety and comfort will always come first. I’ll follow your instructions and routines closely, keep dogs securely leashed on walks, and pay attention to their individual personality and needs. I’m also very respectful of clients’ homes and will treat both your pet and your space with the same care I’d want for my own.
“Michael was amazing with my two shy cats. He was gentle and patient and overall just what they needed. He was respectable of our space and followed instructions well. So grateful he made my first Rover experience a smooth and positive one! Reliable and very responsive. Highly recommend and will definitely rebook in the future.”


About: I have a genuine love for animals and enjoy spending time caring for them. I understand that every pet has a unique personality and different needs. I am patient, responsible, and attentive, and I always strive to make pets feel safe, comfortable and loved. Whether it’s feeding, walking, playing or providing companionship, I treat every pet with the same love and attention I would give my own. I’m currently a second year medical student with a mostly remote schedule, which gives me plenty of flexibility to provide attentive and loving care for your pets. Since I spend much of my time studying from home, I’m able to offer frequent potty breaks, walks, playtime, and lots of companionship throughout the day. I enjoy having animals beside me while I study and can easily incorporate their needs into my daily routine. Your dog’s safety, comfort, and happiness are my top priorities. I understand how important it is to leave your animals with someone you can trust. Whether caring for your dogs in my home or yours, I will provide a clean, calm, loving and safe environment. I carefully follow feeding schedules, walking routines and any special instructions provided by the owner.

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!

The average cost of Dog Sitting in Massapequa is $28 per visit as of October 2026. Most bookings cost between $15 and $28 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 October 2026, there are 23,582 sitters on Rover offering Dog Sitting across Massapequa. 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.
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.
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.
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.
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 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.
