“An absolute pleasure to have watching our babies. She took them both on two walks, even helping to get our dog home when she ran away. Our dogs loved her!! Our one dog doesn’t really like people but loved her and curled up in her lap (which melted our heart!). 100000000/10! We’re so grateful to her and will definitely be booking again.”

“I cannot recommend Amy highly enough! As a first-time traveler leaving my dog Wawa behind, I was incredibly anxious, but Amy completely alleviated all my worries. When Wawa was having some issues during the stay, she went completely above and beyond, frequently extending her scheduled visits just to make sure my little Shih Tzu was safe and comfortable. On top of the exceptional care, Amy’s summary report cards were an absolute highlight of my trip; her fantastic prose and incredible comedic timing made them super funny and a joy to read. I felt completely at ease knowing Wawa was in such dedicated, compassionate hands.”

About: Hi I’m Debbie, I’m a lifelong Dog lover and a mom to Sophie my 7 year old Havanese. I know how important it is to know that your dog is safe, comfortable and care for when you’re not there. Every dog is different whether they like to have a stroll or a brisk walk I’ll follow your dog’s routine. Cats need attention too. I will stop in and make sure your kitty has everything it needs. Fresh water and food a clean litter box and playtime. You will also get a picture of your furry friend. They are not just pets they’re part of your family. I have a flexible schedule, so I’m able to make time for walks, drop-in visit feedings and giving your pet the attention needed when you’re not available. I enjoy making pet care part of my week by helping busy pet parents feel confident that their pets are being cared for. When caring for pets in their home it best to keep them on their routine. Follow the instructions given to me. Provide the attention and affection your pet needs while you’re away. Treat your home with respect. I will keep you updated with photos while you’re away.

About: I was raised with pets. Since my childhood, I have had cats and dogs. I have also potty trained, provided basic training (walking on leash, not pulling, socialization) for dogs. I am a dog grandma to a cockapoo and pitbull who adore me and drive their parents crazy when I am around because I spoil them. I have experience with dogs, cats and some farm animals (cows, chicken) from my yearly summer visits to Guatemala. Like Children, pets take to me because of my loving nature. I am a nurturer and enjoy the company of animals. There seems to be genuine connections. I enjoy their company, cuddling and talking to them. I will treat your babies as if they were my own. Although, I may not allow pets on furniture, if they are used to it, there is always an exception to the rule. They will always feel as if they were at home. Let's meet and I can guarantee your pet will have a great connection with me. I am available to pet sit at your home or mine. Either way, "mi casa" will be "their casa." I don’t mind cat sitting. However, it would be best to care for them in your home as I recently found out, my live in boyfriend is allergic. I currently work from home 3 times a week and my husband twice a week. We have a spacious backyard and can provide their daily activity as needed. We also have the flexibility to walk our furry friends (as requested). Please note: your pets will have their own space and will get lots of love from us. We have a fenced yard with plenty of space and a friendly furry friend. We are available for a meet and greet before finalizing a booking.

“I am so thankful I found Madison!!! She fed my cat for me twice a day while I was on a long trip in Europe. It was the first time I was leaving him alone for so many days but Madison really put me at ease knowing he was in good hands. She was professional and courteous. She communicated with me throughout my trip to let me know he was doing well. My cat can be a spicy boy but she handled him with ease. She even kept my house tidy and was attentive to taking out trash and brought in a package for me! She was great. I would recommend her a million times and I will gladly book with her again in the future!!!”

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: 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: Hi there! Dogs have been a part of my entire life & I understand that they are so much more than pets - they are our family! What sets me apart is the personal attention I give to each dog in my care. I want them to feel comfortable, secure & genuinely loved while they are away from their family. Throughout my life of having dogs, I've experienced & learned about their many different needs. I've cared for an epileptic dog, administered prescription eye drops & been there for my dogs through illnesses, surgeries, recovery & all the different stages of their lives. These experiences have taught me to be observant, patient & attentive to changes in their behavior & well-being. I do my best to learn & understand what may be happening with them and, as much as possible, what they might be feeling so I can give them the care, comfort & attention they need. My own dogs have taught me how much trust is involved when someone cares for your beloved pet. My late little girl, Faith, holds a HUGE piece of my HEART & her memory is a part of what inspires me to care for & give other people's dogs the same compassion I would want for my girl. My goal is for your dog to feel like they're spending the day in a second home, surrounded by love, attention & care. At this point in my life, I'm fortunate to have the flexibility be home for most of the day, which allows me to dedicate my time & attention to caring for dogs - something I truly love! I'm available for both doggy daycare & overnight boarding throughout the week. I do occasionally step out for errands & such, but your dog will have plenty of attention & care throughout the day. For daycare, I offer convenient morning drop-off & afternoon/evening pick-up times. Boarding drop-offs & pick-ups can be arranged during the day to best accommodate your schedule. I'm happy to discuss specific timing when making a reservation, with times generally arranged between 8 AM & 7 PM. Of course, I offer some flexibility when needed. I also offer a convenient pick-up/drop-off service for an additional fee. If possible, before every first booking, I’d love to schedule a meet-and-greet to make sure I’m the perfect fit for you and your pup. Your pet's overall happiness is my top priority. I take the time to learn each dog's personality, routine, likes & needs so I can make sure their stay is as happy & stress-free as possible! Whether your pet is here for the day or a longer stay, we will fully take advantage of my large, fully fenced-in yard. I have plenty of space for dogs to run, play & enjoy some fresh air safely. I'm happy to step out with them & enjoy some of the same! I have no pets of my own, no more small children & my home is smoke-free, providing a calm & peaceful environment. I'm happy to follow your pet's normal routine & can crate them if that's what they are comfortable with or whatever it is you prefer. I will provide you with updated photos and messages throughout their day(s) - I remember how excited I was to receive mine! I offer a safe, loving, comfortable home where your dog will receive plenty of attention, affection, companionship and care throughout their stay.

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.

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!

Sydney was great. We were very apprehensive about leaving Penny alone. We were going away and our usual sitter had a last-minute change of plans. She doesn't do well boarding anywhere so we had Sydney stop in to dogsit. She was great with communication and did everything we asked to make our dog feel more comfortable with us not being home. I would 100% have her do this again if we needed. Thank you.

Frequently asked questions about Rover

The average cost of Pet Sitting in Massapequa Park on Rover is $33 per visit as of October 2026. Most bookings cost between $17 and $50 per visit. 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 24,708 sitters on Rover offering Pet Sitting across Massapequa Park. 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.

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.

Yes, you can find sitters who have experience with handling special pet needs in Massapequa Park. On Rover:

  • 87% of sitters can help with special care needs
  • 92% can help with giving oral medications or injections
  • 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 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 .

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.
