“This is our third time booking Elizabeth, and we can honestly say that she is part of the family. Not only does she take amazing care of our dogs, she's unbelievably helpful with other tasks around the house and gives us great comfort when we are away. Selfishly Elizabeth is one of those people who fall into the category where you almost don't want to tell people how great she is to avoid the risk of having to share her. But she is that good and it would be unfair to her not to celebrate her awesomeness.”
About: I have taken care of my friends’ cats and dogs. I am gentle with a lot of patience and love to play with dogs. I have a lovely Goldie at home and she is very sweet and gentle. I stay at home from Monday - Friday and I have a backyard where our furry friends can play. I am usually free and got a lot of time. I have a fenced yard where dogs can play and I also love to take dogs out for walks. If we get close and they trust me, I’m also happy to take them out for hiking.
“Rachel is wonderful :) My two rescues can be quite reactive and skittish to just about any change in lifestyle. She's more than willing to jump right in & find what works for everyone. I will be using her as a regular sitter from here on out!”
About: I've had dogs my entire life and always love taking care of them! I mostly work with smaller dogs, under 40 pounds, and have experience with puppies! I’m available for morning walks, weekend drop ins, etc! Just need a few days notice, please reach out with all your schedule needs and I can let you know if I’m available! I am always watching and with the dogs I take care of, even if there is a fenced in yard I like to be outside with them!
“Hannah was such a great pal to our cat Jeffrey while we were away! She is very communicative and responsible, and we’ll definitely be contacting her for pet sitting next time we go out of town.”
About: I am a animal lover who has cared for many different animals over my lifetime. From a young age I have owned dogs, cats, birds, and many more! I enjoy being around animals and have taken care of pets both in home and while owners are away! I am a happy soul and would love to meet and care for your pet! I work full time in NYC in and can do walks in the afternoon lunch hour most weekdays. Weekends are always free for more walk and play time. Willing to adjust and accommodate with your schedule! Always willing to do the best care for your pet. If it’s walks outside, playtime inside and everything else, it would be a thrill for me to meet and care for your pet.
“Samantha was so great with Ofelia. I have a moody cat and she was so patient and sweet to her. She would be on time every visit and send me pictures every single time. Quick to respond and super responsable. She even went above and beyond on many other things. Can’t recommend her enough 🫶🏼🐱”
“Esperanza is A M A Z I N G. I had a last minute trip I had to take and she was able to accomodate me last minute. Her communication was amazing, always sent me pictures and texts during each visit. I will 100000% be using her for anything involving my 2 animals going forward!”
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.
“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.”
“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: CPDT-KA since 2021, Positive Reinforcement dog trainer since 2019. I’ve had rescue dogs since I was 13. Between experiences with my own rescue dogs, working and volunteering in animal shelters, being lead supervisor at a doggie daycare/boarding facility, pet photography, and several years in the pet retail industry, I’ve worked with dogs of all breeds, ages, sizes, and experiences. I’m currently working part-time, so I have plenty of flexibility to help out with your four-legged friend! While my schedule varies from week to week, I always have the time to help you and your dog. I can easily crate dogs if need be, and can give medication to even the pickiest of eaters. I have no issues with getting dogs leashed, including getting them into harnesses or head-halters.
About: I have been taking care of animals my entire life. I have always had cats and grew up with a dog, and I have adopted formerly feral cats as well as orphaned kittens and puppies, and I have fostered special needs animals. I lived on a small farm starting from the age of 5, so I have experience with various types of animals and love them all. I have taken care of puppies and kittens as well as older pets. I've always been told that I'm great with animals and wanted to go into animal care from a young age. I started my own petsitting business in 2023 and have loved getting to know so many different animals. I recently moved to New York and am excited to get know even more pets here! I have plenty of time during the day to spend time with your animals and give them all the care they need. I have open availability most days. I always want my clients to have peace of mind while they're away and treat all pets like they're my own. I'm always careful to follow instructions on how to best care for the pets, and my priority is always to keep them safe and happy. I don't board animals in my home, since I have a formerly feral cat who is easily scared.
About: I’ve taken care of almost every kind of dog since I was young! I’ve grown up with a golden retriever, an Australian Shepard, and a mini papillon! I have walked, babysat, and dropped in for neighbors, family and friends with all types of pets. I work remote so I can watch pets daily or weekly! At most I go into the office twice a week so I am very flexible. If I do go in, it is mostly Tuesdays or Wednesdays but not weekly. I live in apartment building that allows pets, has a lounge area and green space all around building. Around the building is the town in Mineola and Garden City so great for walking dogs and super dog friendly area! Super safe with young working people so walking the dog around the town and grass will be no problem. If the dog must stay at my apartment we have lots of space so the dog will have enough space to roam and feel comfortable.
“WOW WOW WOW JASPER FUREVER!!! My apartment looked amazing when I came back, no messes anywhere! I can tell Jasper took really good care of my two cats and I will be using Jasper exclusively to cat sit from here on out! Thank you so much!!!”
About: Hi, I'm Bri! I am 28 years old and a registered nurse (for humans). I have loved animals for as long as I can remember. I’m considering a career in animal care too! I adopted my first dog and rabbit when I was 9. Then, about 10 years ago, I fostered 2 dogs from a shelter and wound up adopting one of them. I have taken a lot of my neighbours and friends dogs on walks to the park and around the neighbourhood. I have a lot of experience with feeding, playing, cleaning, and walking dogs. Since I’m a nurse, I’m open to medical accommodations as well! Overall, any furbaby deserves eternal love! I'm up for discussion about availability and hours. Please feel free to ask me any questions about references or my services! I’m currently unemployed so my availability is very flexible. Since I have 2 pets of my own, an example of my usual pet routine consists of morning breakfast, walking the dog 3 times a day, playing with my cat throughout the day, and dinner. First things first, safety! I will always assess the well being of your fur baby. I am receptive to body language and when an animal may be feeling uncomfortable. Everyone, including our fur babies, deserves to have their own boundaries respected. This will ensure we are both having a great time (:
About: I’ve taken care of dogs since I was very young and will make sure your dog is in the best care. Also I’ve just completed animal care certification class. (Dog handling, dog grooming basics ) I just finished school so I will have plenty of time to take care of your precious ones. I’m available any weekday. weekends I’m available in the morning First I start off for making sure the pup has been fed and has freshwater. I make sure they use the bathroom and we walks and play

Elizabeth is a fantastic sitter. My cats love her and I always feel confident when I am away that she is caring for them. She understands their personalities and quirks and adjusts her care to these.i highly recommend her . I have used her several times for drop in visits!!!!
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 🙏
Juliana is the best, I trust her completely with my 2 cats, Nellie & Clark! She has been watching my cats since Clark was a kitten and now he is 2 years old. He can be high energy and difficult towards my older 10 year old cat Nellie, but Juliana handles them with such love and patience. She is able to separate them during feeding times and distract Clark with playtime! She is always prompt and goes above and beyond to ensure I feel at ease that the cats are doing well while I’m away. When Juliana is watching them, I never worry!
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.
I’m a very nervous pet owner, so leaving my cats alone while I’m on vacation is always a stressful experience. But Oluademi did an amazing job taking care of my cats and helped put me at ease every step of the way. She followed my (admittedly pretty complicated) instructions perfectly and with attention to detail. She often went the extra mile to spend time with them and reassure me that they were doing just fine, so I could enjoy my vacation. I would absolutely recommend her!

Rover makes budgeting the cost of Pet 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 Pet Sitting. For more information on service fees, click here .

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.
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 Mineola. On Rover:
- 88% of sitters can help with special care needs
- 92% can help with giving oral medications or injections
- 96% 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.
