“Siobhan is wonderful with our senior Golden Retriever! She was so attentive with all the medication she takes and all her little quirks. She was always on-time and took our mail in too! Would highly recommend her.”
“Ella was great! My dog is high maintenance needing medication that she doesn’t easily take and having accidents while she’s alone, Ella was able to give her meds and cleaned up after the accidents. She gave detailed updates of her time as well along with pictures.”
“Amy took great care of my dog and cat. I can’t explain what a relief it was to find her. My mini dachshund is 16 years old and I don’t like to bring him into new environments or away from his best friend pelé the cat, so it worked out perfectly. I would highly recommend Amy!”
“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.”
About: I absolutely adore animals and have taken care of many, all with different personalities and needs. I am accommodating and patient with all pets. I have taken care of older fragile dogs and active younger dogs. I volunteered at a cat shelter for a couple years as well, so I can understand their body language and care for them regardless. I’ve helped many shy animals socialize and they have warmed up to me. I am a college student with long gaps in my schedule, my college is local so I have plenty of time to stop by! Monday & Wednesday: 11 AM- 1:20 pm; anytime past 3:20 pm Tuesday: anytime before 11:50 AM; anytime past 4:40 pm Thursday: anytime before 11:50 AM; anytime past 6:30 pm Friday, Saturday, Sunday: anytime I will be able to change any water or food bowls, clean up potty mistakes. Let me know if there are specific requirements your pet needs and I will accommodate as well.
“This was our first time using rover. Jessica was amazing and so sweet as well as attentive. Amazing communication and our girls were so well cared for. We will absolutely be using her again on any future vacations.”
“Breanna was an amazing pet sitter for my dog and cat!! She went above and beyond caring for them and was super communicative and loving with them. Would definitely have her pet sit for them again ❤️❤️”
“Awesome experience! Katharine made our trip stress free. Hercules was well cared for in his own home. I only wish we had done this for prior trips. Couldn't have worked out any better”
“Natasha did an excellent job getting our skittish Springer Spaniel to warm up and make friends while we were away. Natasha was able to get Maisie to calm down and relax by just being calm and sensitive to her fears and protective instincts. We plan to use Natasha again.”
“Elaina is the absolute best! I have used her services repeatedly now, and could not be more grateful to have found her here on Rover. She is extremely accommodating, responsive, and genuinely a kind human. Someone you would want to leave your pup with, and feel very comfortable doing so! I could not recommend Elaina enough.”
About: I’ve taken care of various breeds of dogs over the past 11 years — including my own, other family members’, as well as friends’ and acquaintances’ — whether it’s for a walk around the neighborhood or spending some quality time while the family’s away Being a teacher, my week availability doesn’t really start till 3:30 (unless there’s a break). However, my weekends are more open, so I have more availability to stop by and visit with your pups! While visiting with your pet, I will keep an eye on them during walks and potty breaks, making sure they are secure on their leash and in their yard.
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. 🐾
About: Hi! I’m Oli, a recent grad with almost ten years of experience petsitting. I’m back on Rover for the first time in a while after some of my long-term clients moved/had kids & aren’t in need of a sitter as frequently as before, and I’m looking forward to building relationships with new clients and making friends with your pets. I’ve been around dogs my whole life and have experience taking care of dogs & cats of all ages and sizes with varying levels of needs, including rescues with significant anxiety/trauma and seniors with medical issues/cognitive decline. I can also maintain/clean freshwater fish tanks, and although I have minimal experience with exotic pets, I do have some familiarity with their needs and am quick & eager to learn more if you have any! Thanks so much for checking out my profile & considering me to take care of your non-human family members :^) I’m currently looking for work (great job market right now!!) and generally have a lot of free time. I’m mostly available during weekends and overnight during the week (when I know 100% that someone will be home to take care of Spencer), but I’m good to arrange weekday visits too!! Unfortunately, I cannot board your pet(s) in my home currently — my 14 y/o dog Spencer is ever-so-slightly senile and has developed some issues with reactivity & resource guarding
The median cost per visit for pet sitting in Massapequa is $25
Pet parents share their Rover experiences - Massapequa
Karen was wonderful! She stepped in on very short notice when our original sitter unexpectedly became unavailable, and we are so grateful that she was able to help. She was reliable, responsible, and very easy to communicate with throughout the booking. Every day, she sent us around 10 photos of Cobb along with thoughtful, detailed updates about each visit, which gave us so much peace of mind while we were away. We could tell that she was attentive and genuinely cared about how he was doing. She was also flexible with scheduling and made the whole experience smooth and stress-free. We truly appreciate Karen’s help and would absolutely recommend her to other pet parents. We would be very happy to book with her again!
Samantha is an excellent sitter. While we were away for more than a week, she sent photos and updates after each visit. Our dog is very comfortable in her care. Samantha is reliable, attentive and goes above & beyond. This was our second booking with her, and we will continue to book her as long as she is available.
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!
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!
Jenna and Greg were absolutely amazing with our pups during our vacation!! We Couldn't be happier!! We were nervous and had never hired a sitter before and we were going away for a whole week but Jenna and Greg put all of our worries at ease! Our pups were in need of a little extra care with us being away for so long and our pups both having some special needs. Jenna and Greg treated our pups like their very own, showing lots and lots of love and attention while we were away. They were amazing with communication and lots of pictures as well! Jenna and Greg are extremely trustworthy, caring and both AMAZING at what they do!! If you get a chance to book them definitely take advantage of such a Beautiful opportunity-Jenna and Greg do not disappoint and your pups will be so happy to be in amazing hands!!!!

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.
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.

- 95% 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 short introductory meeting between you, your pet, 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.
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.
