“I recently had the pleasure of having Madison stay with my two dogs while I was away on a weekend getaway, and I couldn't have asked for a better pet/house sitter. Madison went above and beyond my expectations, demonstrating exceptional responsibility and genuine care for my puppies. From the moment Madison arrived, she immediately connected with my dogs, making them feel comfortable and loved. Throughout her stay, she showed great dedication, ensuring they were well-fed, exercised, and received plenty of affection. It was evident that Madison's love for animals extended beyond mere duty, as she genuinely enjoyed spending time with my pets. What impressed me the most was Madison's attention to detail and her commitment to following my instructions. She didn't just meet the basic needs of my dogs; she went the extra mile to provide additional care and companionship. Madison's regular communication and photo updates were invaluable, as they allowed me to relax and enjoy my getaway, knowing my furry companions were in excellent hands. I wholeheartedly recommend Madison as a pet sitter to anyone seeking professional and compassionate care for their animals. Her exceptional service, reliability, and genuine love for pets make her an outstanding choice. I will definitely be reaching out to Madison for future pet sitting needs.”
“Amy was the best, we are so lucky to have found her! She took care of our large dog Luna who is very sweet but also doesn't know her own strength sometimes. Amy is great at handling all sizes of dogs. She kept us informed every day and took good care of our house too. We (including Luna) highly recommend!”
“Trevor was wonderful! He was very attentive to all our house sitting and pet sitting needs. Including bringing in our many packages and mail that was delivered while we were gone, managing our pup’s irregular eating habits and navigating a visit from the cleaners. We felt great leaving our Zoey girl in his care and highly recommend his services.”
“Chaira was excellent. Took such good care of my two babies Trixie and Max. She sent allot of pictures and text with any questions she had. Made my trip so much better knowing they were well cared for. Definitely recommend!!”
“Alex was great with our 12 year old golden retriever with separation anxiety. He sent pictures everyday and kept us updated. Our dog was happy and comfortable with him and our house was spotless. We will definitely be using him again!!”
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!

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.
“Charlotte is very helpful and very willing to accomodate! We were looking for help with our pup with short notice and she came through for us. She was great with our dog, who can be very particular!”
“Jordan continues to come through for us, and we cant express how much we appreciate her attention to detail and excellence. We ran little past our time frames, and she went above and beyond and waited for us to arrive. We cant express how much we appreciate Jordan and her love for pets.”
“Jessica was great at communicating, responded very quickly and sent us lots of updates which we appreciated very much. We came home to happy tired dogs. Would definitely hire again!”
About: Hi pet parents! 🐾 I’ve got plenty of love, energy, and snuggles to share with your furry family while you’re away.

I’ve cared for pups big and small—from Yorkies to Beagles to German Shepherds to Mastiffs—and I adore cats of all personalities, from shy lap cats to curious mischief-makers. No matter their style, I’ll match their vibe and keep them happy, entertained, and well-loved. You’ll come home to a pet that’s safe, cared for, and maybe just a little spoiled (in the best way!).

“Kara was amazing with Hershey!! She was so communicative and really made us feel comfortable having someone on our home taking care of our pets! It’s tough to get across all of the quirks of your home and pets but she made our trip more enjoyable! Looking forward to using her again!”
“Erin was very flexible in booking and is very reliable. She did a great job following instructions to care for Buster. She definitely has a love for dogs and you can easily see that in her interactions with your dog. I will definitely be booking with her again!”
About: I’ve taken responsibility of my own pets in my family for 10 years. Dog sat for my aunt for two years. Grew up with a Border Collie and two Dobermans! Trained my families new edition corgi, chow chow, and kelpie Shepard mix who’s now 2 years of age. I work part time as a college student finishing up my second semester before summer break. I’d love to walk or check in on any furry friends before/after my lectures and final semester!! I provide a safe, calm, and clean environment, following each pet’s routine closely. I respect their individual needs, ensure secure spaces, and give gentle, attentive care with regular updates.
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
“Devon was a great sitter for Lacey. Lacey took to her right away at the meet and greet. We were gone on vacation for almost two weeks so it was important for Lacey to be comfortable with her. Devon kept in touch with us and also sent photos of Lacey. She cared for her very well and we would hire her again should the need arise.”
“Natasha stayed overnight to watch our dog on our wedding night. She made the whole process easy, sent photos and updates and was great! Our dog loved her right away at the first meet and greet. This was our first experience with a dog sitter and we had full confidence in her and would recommend to others! Thanks Natasha!”
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 really care about creating a space where your dog feels safe, understood, and at ease. I like to take the time to get to know each dog’s personality and what they need—whether they’re super energetic, a bit shy, or somewhere in between. I have experience with both active dogs and more sensitive ones, and I try to approach each situation with patience and attention. I’m also very observant, so I tend to notice small changes in behavior or mood and respond quickly if something feels off. My goal isn’t just to “watch” your dog, but to make sure they feel comfortable, cared for, and genuinely supported while you’re away. I also come from a professional background where I’ve managed schedules and worked closely with clients, so I’m organized, reliable, and good at communicating. I'll always keep you updated and make sure everything runs smoothly. Pet care fits naturally into my routine, and I can plan my days around visits, walks, or check-ins. I keep a flexible schedule, which allows me to be consistent and reliable with timing, something I know is important for pets. I’m available for daily visits, walks, and check-ins, and I always make sure each pet gets the time and attention they need without rushing. I also like to keep routines consistent, so your pet can feel as comfortable and settled as possible while you’re away. I always prioritize creating a calm, safe, and respectful environment for every pet. In a client’s home, I’m very mindful of their space and follow all instructions closely—from feeding routines to walks, litter care, or any specific needs your pet may have. I pay close attention to behavior and surroundings to make sure your pet feels secure, and I avoid situations that could cause stress or discomfort. I’m also careful with doors, leashes, and home safety to prevent any risks. Building trust is very important to me, so I keep communication clear and consistent, with regular updates, so you always know how your pet is doing.
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.

Sarah was wonderful with my 3 dogs. I knew they were in good hands since she has alot of veterinay experience. She’s sweet and conscientious. Sent me updates and pictures. Also left my home super clean. The dogs were very calm and happy when I got home. If you want a good, reliable pet sitter, Sarah’s the one!
Charlotte was the best ! I am so happy I found her . She not just was great in communication but she was great in keeping my baby entertained and we taken care of . She made me feel calm knowing he was in good hands by sending me pictures of him and letting me know how he’s doing . She’s caring and from the start she was interested in knowing my routine with him and paid close attention to details and did everything what I asked her to do . She was great and definitely will be using her for the future . Thank You Charlotte.
Lenora was absolutely amazing. She stayed in our home and took care of our dog, Cloud, for 5 days, and we couldn’t have asked for a better sitter. She was attentive, reliable, and clearly gave Cloud so much love and care. We received regular updates after walks along with plenty of adorable photos, which gave us total peace of mind while we were away. Our home was well cared for, and Cloud was happy, relaxed, and clearly comfortable with her. Lenora is hands-down the best sitter we’ve found here, and we would 100% book her again in the future. Highly recommend her to anyone looking for someone they can truly trust.

FAQs for House Sitting - Massapequa Park
Frequently asked questions about Rover
The average cost for House Sitting in Massapequa Park on Rover is $87.69 per night (as of July 2026). However, all sitters set their own rates based on experience, location, and availability.
Rover makes budgeting the cost of House Sitting easy. As long as your dates and pet profiles are correct, the price you see before you book is the same price you pay for House Sitting. For more information on service fees, click here .
As of July 2026, there are 17,229 sitters on Rover offering House Sitting across Massapequa Park. Enter your ZIP code to see which available sitters are closest to your home.
Beyond belly rubs and feeding schedules, a house sitter’s presence may provide an additional layer of security for your home. However, you will need to arrange overnight stays and other household tasks with your sitter when reaching out to them. Not all sitters offer the same services. Common household tasks you can negotiate include:
- Mail & deliveries: Collecting letters and packages so they don't pile up.
- Plant care: Keeping your indoor or outdoor garden hydrated.
- Trash & recycling: Taking trash cans to the curb on scheduled pickup days.
- Home security: Sitters can stay overnight to keep your home occupied.
The best way to align on expectations is during your free Meet & Greet. Use this time to provide a "home cheat sheet" that includes your preferred Massapequa Park walking routes, the location of your favorite pet store, and any specific quirks about your home’s security or appliances.
It’s helpful to think of house sitting as a "home base" service. Most sitters in Massapequa Park maintain their normal daily routines, like running errands or heading to the office, meaning your pet should be comfortable being alone for a few hours at a time. If your pet needs a little extra company, here is how to find the perfect match:
- Look for "WFH" sitters: Many sitters mention "Work from Home" on their profile to indicate they’ll be present for the majority of the day.
- Update your pet’s profile: Write down how long your pet can comfortably be left alone. This helps sitters quickly determine if their schedule aligns with your needs.
- Communicate 24/7 needs: Standard house sitting usually doesn't include constant supervision. If your pet requires round-the-clock care, be sure to discuss this upfront.
Tip: Use the Meet & Greet to confirm a sitter's typical "away" windows. Transparency ensures your pet stays happy and your sitter can plan their day effectively!
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 Park 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!
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.
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 .
If a health concern arises during a stay, your sitter is instructed to contact you and our Trust & Safety team immediately and, if needed, take your pet to the closest veterinarian. Through our Trust & Safety support team, sitters can ask for diagnostic advice from a qualified veterinary professional if your pet is showing signs of possible illness.
For extra peace of mind, you can also prepare an authorization form for your regular vet. An authorization form outlines your preferred method of care and allows your sitter to bring your pet into their regular clinic.
Every qualified booking made on Rover is backed by the Rover Guarantee, which includes reimbursement for eligible emergency vet care.
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.
Yes, you can find sitters who have experience with handling special pet needs in Massapequa Park. On Rover:
- 89% of sitters can help with special care needs
- 93% can help with giving oral medications or injections
- 97% 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.
