“Wei came to my home to care for my 2 cats. She was attentive and sweet and my cats felt comfortable with her. She also made sure they had adequate water and food, and she diligently cleaned their litter boxes. I am thankful for her help!”

About: Hello! My name is Abigail. I am a calm, observant, and deeply reliable pet and house sitter specializing in providing a peaceful, structured environment for your animals and complete peace of mind for your home. While I am a dedicated beginner on this platform, my life has been rooted in a deep love and respect for animals. I grew up in a household where we lovingly cared for both a family dog and a family cat. Through that personal experience, I understand firsthand that pets are not just animals—they are family members who thrive on consistent routines, clear boundaries, and nurturing, empathetic care. I approach pet care with a quiet, steady energy. I have always been naturally drawn to animals, and I excel at reading their non-verbal cues to ensure they feel entirely safe, secure, and comfortable while you are away. Whether your pet requires high-energy tracking on daily walks or simply a quiet, gentle presence to sit with them in their space, I adapt my approach entirely to match their unique personality and baseline needs. What I Bring to Your Home and Pets: * Meticulous Attention to Detail: I take your specific, daily care instructions seriously. From precise feeding and medication schedules to maintaining your pet's exact exercise routines, I ensure everything is executed exactly as requested. * Home Security & Grounded Reliability: As a clean, quiet, and highly respectful independent professional, I maintain your property lines with absolute care. I keep your living space immaculate, respect your privacy, and ensure your home remains secure and peaceful. * Empathetic & Attentive Communication: I know how deeply you miss your animals when you are away. I provide clear, steady, and consistent updates and photos according to your preferences so you always know your pets are thriving. I am looking forward to connecting with you, honoring your household boundaries, and treating your beloved pets with the highest standard of quiet respect and care. My schedule is very flexible-feel free to message me! I’m eager to dive into house/pet sitting, so my daily/weekly routines definitely have space for bookings. I provide clear, steady, and consistent updates and photos according to your preferences so you always know your pets are thriving. I am looking forward to connecting with you, honoring your household boundaries, and treating your beloved pets with the highest standard of quiet respect and care.
About: Every pet deserves to feel safe, loved, and genuinely cared for—even when you’re away. That’s exactly the kind of care I provide. As a lifelong animal lover, I understand that pets are family. I share my home with my sweet 6-year-old Cavapoo and my gentle 10-year-old Scottish Fold cat, so I know firsthand how important it is to trust the person caring for your furry family members. Before joining Rover, I worked at Dogtopia, where I cared for groups of up to 20 dogs at a time. That experience taught me how to understand different personalities, recognize body language, manage dogs of all sizes and energy levels, and ensure every pup feels safe, comfortable, and happy. When I was younger, I babysat and walked dogs for relatives and neighbors. I also know that leaving your pet can be stressful for you, too. That’s why I make communication a priority. You’ll receive regular photo updates, videos, and text messages so you can see your pet enjoying their day and have peace of mind knowing they’re in loving hands. When I care for your pet, my goal is simple: I want them to feel as comfortable, happy, and loved as they do when they’re with you. I can’t wait to meet you and your four-legged family member and become someone you can count on whenever you need an extra helping hand. I am currently on summer break from college. From September 2026, I will be available to work at any time on Monday, Wednesday, Friday afternoon/evenings and Saturday and Sunday. Whether your dog loves long walks, playtime, belly rubs, or simply quiet companionship, I’ll tailor every visit to their unique personality and routine. I believe every pet deserves individual attention, patience, and lots of affection. That is how I am with my dog Flash and my beautiful cat, Princess Leia. Honestly, no request is too much, my dog and cat both are very particular in their ways.

About: Experience with over 7 dogs from puppy to adulthood and numerous cats. I have trained 5 dogs. Over the years I have cared for many cats. Feeding, walking, home care, and giving medicine. I am currently in school with a long background of caring for pets. This position is rewarding for me as I enjoy caring for animals. I personally take care of my two dogs. I take them on multiple walks a day. Reenforcing positive feedback training and playtime continues to provide a continued well mannered dog and happy life.
“Anna was a wonderful sitter for our two cats. She communicated clearly and consistently, sending updates and photos after each visit. She was patient and attentive to both of our kitties’ individual needs, showing genuine care and compassion. She truly went above and beyond—we highly recommend!”

About: For quite a few years I’ve taken care of dogs for family members, families all over Long Island and never disappointed! I’ve loved dogs all my life and still do. They’re honestly like family to me and I always treat my family with care, respect and love which is what a dog needs. I also have 2 dogs of my own and they is just the best thing that happened to me honestly and that’s why I’m working for this company because I’ve found something that I could work for and love doing what I do at the same time. I treat every dog like they’re mine! Every dog that has been to my house they are treated like our family, care for every one of them. I am home full time! Sometimes I go out to run a few errands which means I put the dogs in a crate but my mother works from home 2 days out of the week so if she’s there, she’ll keep them out and moving around on their own! Other than that, I am very free! Other than that, they will be taken great care of by me. In my home I have a huge clean yard that runs through the back, side and front it is fenced so the dogs could run freely around for daily exercise. I also love to walk so if your dog also loves to, we will definitely be a great match! I have two dogs of my own that’ll keep your lovely dog(s) company. They are very playful and welcoming, one is 6 years old and the other one is 5 years old, with all their shots and up to date with all doctor appointments. This is a smoke free house also. Your baby will be happy & safe here!
“Samantha and Jerry were fantastic. Zara, our cat, was happy and well cared for when we came home. We got great pictures of her being brushed, eating, and drinking throughout their visits. Would 100% recommend.”

“Hailey was fantastic!! She was very communicative about our cat and very patient in trying to get his fearful personality to come out of hiding. We will certainly reach out to her when in need of a cat sitter. Highly recommend her!!”

About: Pet care experience Hi there! While I may not have a dog of my own, I've had the joy of caring for a dear French bulldog annually for almost two weeks each year. I adore playing with my sister's dogs and live in a cozy home filled with the laughter of my three dog-loving kids. I'm always available to walk, cuddle, and shower your furry friend with love and attention. Your fur baby will be in excellent hands with me! I'll treat them with the same love, care, and attention that I've given to countless other dogs. Their happiness and well-being are my top priorities. Let me be your dog's caregiver, and they'll receive all the cuddles, playtime, and care they need. Looking forward to meeting you and your four-legged family member! 🐶💕 Welcome! Our family consists of myself, my husband, and our three wonderful kids. Though I never had a dog, my love for animals is evident through my adorable rabbit named Kruger. Nestled in a house with a spacious yard on a tranquil street, I offer a peaceful environment for your furry friend. I work from home on Fridays and have weekends off. I'm back home by 3 PM every day, ensuring your pet is surrounded by care and attention. Living on a serene and quiet street with minimal traffic, I provide an ideal haven for your beloved dog.

About: Hii im new on rover :) however I’ve had a long experience caring for dogs of all sizes and ages through family and friends’ pets, as well as having a dog of my own. You can expect clear and reliable communication, quick responses, timely updates, and plenty of photos so you always know how your pet is doing. I’ll treat your pet with the same care and attention I’d want for my own. I also have a big and securely fenced backyard for them to roam around in (on profile). **I’d prefer a meet and greet or call before booking so you’re 100% comfortable with me taking good care of your pups** 📩 Contact me today to arrange the best care for your pet! Currently working a part time at a pediatric clinic with a very flexible work schedule. I’m available weekdays + weekends any time!! Enrolling in school in September (still waiting on class schedule) will keep posted I always stick to their normal routine as much as possible, including feeding, walks, playtime, potty breaks, and any specific instructions their owner gives me. I’m also big on giving pets attention and affection, but I respect their personality if they need some space.

About: Over the course of my time I've taken care of and lived with goldfish, parakeets, a big old mutt, several great cats...and chickens. Considering that I grew up in Manhattan, I'd say that if that doesn't account for exeptional qualifications to love and care for our furry (or scaly, or feathered) friends, I'm not sure what could! Our kids are off exploring the world as newly minted adults leaving my wife and I with two finicky cats. With a little extra time on my hands I thought it would be a good idea to help other pet owners out to work all day or preferably, gone on a much needed vacation but looking for someone to check in on their furry loved ones. I freelance from home as a designer, so I typically have time at both ends of the day to extend a helping hand to anyone who needs a little extra care for their pet. We have 2 cats at home of whom I am the primary caretaker of, so adding a visit to a neighbor in need would be easy. I will follow all instructions and care indications you give for your pet(s) to the letter and provide pictures of completion if you request it.
“Allison was fabulous! She took care of our senior dog, by dropping in twice a day to walk and feed him. She was very responsible and very gentle with him. I liked that I could touch base with her everyday. Allison exceeded our expectations and highly recommend her!”

About: I have owned both cats and big and small dogs and am experienced in training, raising, and taking care of all types of dogs in various states of health and ages. I love all animals! I work part time as I am applying to masters programs right now, so I will have plenty of time for dog walks and animal drop ins! I do not offer boarding or day care at my own house because of the multiple outdoor cats and other animals (like raccoons) in my neighborhood.
“Alexis is wonderful!!!! Trustworthy, friendly, and amazing with animals! Alexis watched my kitties when I was away in Europe for a week and I was completely at peace knowing she was watching my fur babies. She was thoughtful and mindful of what my cats needed and kept me updated with each visit with adorable photos! She also took wonderful care of my home and cleaned up the areas around the cat litter. Anyone would be lucky to have Alexis watch their animals. I will definitely be using her again! Thank you Alexis 🤍”

About: I have been looking after my own dog as well as dogs in my neighborhood for around 3 years now! I have walked dogs, fed them, watched over them, and most importantly, showered them with cuddles and kisses. I cannot imagine my life without my dog so I understand what a privilege and responsibility it is to look after yours. I look forward to getting to know you and your pup! :) I am currently a full time student at Hofstra University so I can help mostly on weekends. Please be mindful that I am a student and that I have classes Monday through Thursday, but that I am willing to help whenever I can :) I promise to always respect your requests as a pet owners, care deeply for whatever pet I watch over, and be conscientious of what the dog needs at the current moment.
About: I have had over 7 years of experience taking care of my own dogs, as well as dog-sitting/walking for family and friends, so I decided to take my skills and passion for dogs to Rover. I have also recently fostered and trained a one year old (and 80 pound untrained) foster puppy at college this past year! I am such an attentive, responsive, and caring dog lover and will always adapt to owners’ requests! This summer I will be freshly graduated from college, waiting to start my full time job in August, so my schedule is completely free and I am available to take care of your pups round the clock!!! I have a couple weekend trips planned here and there but my summer schedule is otherwise wide open! I am super respectful of the property and privacy of other’s I have dog and cat set for numerous friends and family before and will always leave your space cleaner than I left it! As someone who has hired and used dog-sitters in the past, I understand how much trust it takes to allow someone else to take care of your precious pup, so I will be sure to keep a constant line of communication about how your dog is doing whether it’s just me letting them out to go to the bathroom or a full dog-sitting stay!

Stephanie is an absolute sweetheart! I could tell she treated Saint with so much care, as if he was her own pet. ( which I love ) I will definitely be using her again for her help in the future. Not only is Stephanie nice and friendly, but she followed all the directions I left for her. Thanks 🙏

Esperanza was great to work with! I asked her if I can pay her to comd the night before the booking on extremely short notice to meet myself and my bernedoodle, and she was able to do so which was fantastic. She did two drop in visits during the day while I was away and did a wonderful job and followed all the instructions I gave her.

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 Mineola 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.
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 Mineola 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 .

A Meet & Greet is a short introductory meeting between you, your dog, 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.
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 Mineola with recurring or weekly availability, select "Repeat Weekly" and which days you’d like them to care for your pet.

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 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.
