“My husband and I used Alexis for the second time. This time for 4 full days, with 3 drop ins each day. She took wonderful care of our 2 cats and one dog. She kept the litter box very clean and made sure our pets got their medicine. Alexis has such a caring personality and kindness to her that our pets love. We are very thankful for her help.”

About: Hello! My name is Caroline. I’m a senior at Wagner College and play on the women’s soccer team. I have two older dogs of my own who I love deeply, and caring for them has taught me how to be patience and how to support pups at every stage. I’m new to Rover, but I’m excited and open to caring for dogs of all kinds. I truly love dogs and am be happy to help families from all over!!!! I’m available for drop‑ins on Mondays, Wednesdays, and Saturdays. I love spending time with dogs and am committed to giving each visit my full attention and care alongside being a full-time student. I take safety seriously and always make sure pups feel comfortable and cared for. I am thorough and will follow each owner’s instructions closely, whether that means crating, sticking to a feeding routine, or managing medications. I’m attentive, responsible, and committed to creating a safe, trusting environment in any home I’m in.

I paid for her to stay extra time to pet the animals, and I could tell from her emails and photos that she really loved them.”

About: Growing up, I have always looked after dogs of close friends and family, and have studied nutrition and health, which led me to work at a pet hotel for about a year with almost every dog breed. My responsibilities included prepping food, cleaning, 1 on 1 play, and group play. I have been in charge of up to 20 dogs at 1 time. I also co-own a dog named Luna. The other owner and I had Luna since she was a puppy and she is now 5 years old. I teach obedience/behavior training to many dogs and I develop trust with dogs that is unique to my experience with various breeds. It takes patience and consistency to be a great leader for dogs and I wear my heart on my sleeve for every dog I'm caring for; communication with your dog is key. I currently work with dogs full time and make Dog care apart of my every day routine, if I'm not with my dog I'm working with other dogs. I have a good size open backyard and toys depending on the play style of your dog; crate training is much appreciated if they are familiar. Walks are frequent, especially for high energy dogs

About: I have had dogs throughout my life, giving me extensive hands-on experience caring for dogs of all ages and personalities.I currently have a cat named Rocky (my pride and joy!!), so I also have experience caring for cats and understanding their unique needs and behaviors. In addition to caring for my own pets, I have watched and cared for many dogs and cats for family, friends, and others. I am experienced with feeding, walking, cleaning up after pets, providing exercise and companionship, and maintaining consistent routines to help pets feel comfortable and secure. My strengths include excellent communication with pet owners, reliability, patience, and close attention to detail. I am comfortable administering oral medications as directed, following specific care instructions, recognizing changes in a pet's behavior or health, and providing updates to owners for peace of mind. I treat every pet as if they were my own and strive to provide safe, compassionate, and dependable care. I work a hybrid schedule, which gives me the flexibility to provide reliable and attentive pet care throughout the week. On my WFH days, I'm able to spend most of the day with pets. On days I'm in the office, I plan my schedule around my pet commitments to ensure every pet receives the attention and care they need/deserve. Whether I'm caring for your pet in my apartment or in your home, their safety, comfort, and routine are my top priorities. I live in a clean, pet-friendly apartment where I can provide a calm, quiet environment with plenty of attention and supervision. I make sure doors and windows remain secure and keep any potentially harmful items out of reach.

I understand that every cat has different needs, so I let them set the pace—whether they want to play, cuddle, or simply have a quiet companion nearby. I'll also keep you updated with photos and messages throughout their stay so you can feel confident your pet is safe, happy, and receiving the same care I'd want for my own cat.

About: I have been working with dogs for a lot of my life. I've owned two German Shepherds, Two Huskies and a Beagle Dachshund mix so I have dealt with a variety of different dogs. I worked for the Shelby Humane Society for almost 2 years helping animals get adopted. I put my all into caring for animals because it's something I love to do and i love dogs and cats or pretty much any animal for that matter so much so that I treat them like my own children. Your dogs are in good hands with me and no matter what after you receive my services you will be coming back for more. Have a great day everyone and I can't wait to meet your Furry Friends. I'm currently working with a gig agency so I work on my own schedule which gives me plenty of time to spend with your Furry Friends. I have a fenced yard with plenty of space for your furry friends to run around and exercise. I also have two energetic children who love animals just as much as I do and they will give your furry friend just as much love as I will give them while they are inside my home because any animal that comes into my house is treated like my own child and like a member of my family. I'm also a certified license Advanced EMT so I have medical training under my belt for both animals and humans alike and that is another way that I will make sure your fur babies are completely safe while inside my home and in my neighborhood.

Alexis is wonderful! I would highly recommend her to anyone needing a pet sitter! She put our family at ease when she met us and our two cats before our vacation. She listened and followed through on all their needs while we were away posting great photos and Rover notes after each visit. She is truly caring and made sure the cats had playtime and their medication. We will definitely be contacting her again for future trips!

This is the second time Taylor has taken care of my 5 cats. She was great with them and they can sometimes be handful. One is on a special diet and others need to be monitored as they eat. She followed all instructions and sent great pictures. I would definitely trust her with my furbabies again.

FAQs for Pet Sitting - Mid Island

Frequently asked questions about Rover

Rover is the largest marketplace for local pet care. Whether you're looking for pet sitters, dog walkers, or house sitters who specialize in pet sitting, you can narrow your search by entering your ZIP code to find sitters within walking distance in your neighborhood.

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 .

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 , which provides up to 25,000 in eligible veterinary care reimbursement.

Yes, you can find sitters who have experience administering medication or managing dietary requirements. You can also find pet sitters who accept only one pet at a time, which is ideal for anxious puppies 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 request a 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 .

sitters on Rover set their own , 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.
