About: I have taken care of dogs, cats, and other animals since I was 9! I am happy to tailor any care to specifically suit your fur baby’s needs to ensure they are happy and healthy during their time with me! From hikes, cuddles on the couch, or playing tug, I am happy to do it all! I have a fully remote job so I am happy to take care of your fur baby any time, all day and night! My flexible work schedules allows for me to give your pet whatever unique care it needs. I have a fully fenced in back yard, two friendly vizsla pups who love to play, and two very relaxed kitties. I am happy to crate your dog or leave them out! I am also happy to have your cat in the house or separate them from my cats/dogs. I want to accommodate your fur baby and them exactly what they need!
About: I've been around all sorts of animals since I was a child, firstly with pet birds of my own, then volunteering at a farm for a number of years. Most recently, my experience as a veterinary assistant and being in school for a veterinary technician degree also gives me much knowledge in care for all sorts of animals, especially dogs and cats! I'm currently working at a veterinary hospital and have a few days where I can take time to fit pets that need attention into my schedule. Since my schedule changes regularly, my availability may change weekly, but usually does not impede on any pet that needs my attention. I have a variety of cages, leashes, harnesses, and toys for all size dogs if it is not available to the owner. Another benefit I can offer is the fact that since I also work at an animal hospital, if in the event where a pet needs attention while their owner’s are away, I have the access and contacts to help with any needs of that pet as soon as possible, with the permission of the owners.
“Cheryl was amazing! I was so lucky to find her, I felt so comfortable leaving my baby with Cheryl. I got many pictures, videos, and updates while I was away, which was so nice… I could tell my baby was in great care :) will definitely be using Cheryl again and would highly recommend her to anyone!”
“Esther has been visiting our dog daily for the past couple of weeks and we couldn’t have wished for someone better. Esther is reliable, caring, communicates with us, and sends us pics of Shadow. We will definitely continue to use Esther’s services. She’s excellent with our dog!!”
About: I’ve cared for dogs of all ages, from energetic puppies to mellow seniors. Most of my experience is with walks and drop-in visits, where I focus on making pets feel safe, loved, and well cared for. I’m reliable, patient, and always treat pets like family. I’m a teacher on summer vacation, so my schedule is very open and flexible right now. I have plenty of time for walks, drop-in visits, and giving pets the attention they need throughout the day I always follow your instructions closely to make sure your pet feels safe and comfortable in their home. I’m respectful of your space and make sure your pet stays happy, secure, and well cared for.
“Flower took excellent care of our cat. We really appreciated the regular videos and pictures showing how he was doing. Would definitely recommend.”
“Maria was the absolute best. Courteous, Professional and punctual. She did everything I asked for and more. If you need a sitter - HIRE MARIA!!! 10/10. My cat was in great hands! Thank you so much Maria!!!!”
“Yhakerra was so attentive and extremely caring towards both my fur babies. It was not easy either because both my kitties are in separate spaces of the house due to one of them chasing the other and hissing/growling. However, Yhakerra did amazing and handled the separate feedings/litter cleanings like a pro. She also left the house very clean and immaculate. She was even so caring that she asked if she could carry the youngest baby, Luna to the bedroom and let her sleep in the bed, which of course I was so touched that she was so sweet to accommodate the well being of the babies. She had to move her litterbox and food bowls. I highly recommend Yhakerra and will be booking her again in the future. Thank you so much Yhakerra, I’m so thankful to have had you care for my babies.”

About: I’ve only pet sat a sweet puppy named Forty for a day in my home. She was my first dog sitting experience and the experience was so rewarding that I decided to come back for more. Although I don’t have as much experience as the next person, I decided to try my luck with Rocer and hopefully the great pet community on here will help me learn a lot more! I currently work overnight hours so I have plenty time during the day to cater to our little animals needs. Most of the activities and feedings needed to help them grow, from my understanding, happen during the day and I would be glad to be apart of that. I have a fenced yard with more than enough space for physical activity and my neighborhood is pet and pedestrian friendly for frequent outdoor activity. I also own a car with ample space for transportation if need be.
About: With over two decades of experience in dog ownership and sitting, I stand out for my specialized skills in training, senior dog care, administering medicine, and managing diabetic dogs.

In my home, I provide a safe, comfortable environment with plenty of playtime, exercise, and affection, including a fenced-in backyard for secure outdoor activities.

Paige J.
“I’ve known Paige for over 10 years, and in that time, she has consistently shown herself to be one of the most reliable, compassionate, and thoughtful people I know. She is professional, responsive, and incredibly kind, with a natural ability to bring calm and comfort to both animals and people alike. Paige is a devoted pet owner herself and has guided her own pets through moves, behavioral challenges, and major life transitions with unwavering patience and love. That same care and empathy extend to every animal she looks after. She creates a warm, friendly environment and brings a steady, reassuring presence into your home—something that makes all the difference for pets when you're away. There are very few people I fully trust with the care of my own pets, and Paige is absolutely one of them. She takes the time to get to know both you and your pet, ensuring a smooth, personalized experience. Safety is always her top priority, and she’s incredibly attentive—asking questions, providing thoughtful updates, and sharing helpful reports so you never feel out of the loop. Most importantly, Paige makes her time with your pets count. Whether it’s playtime, a walk, or just quiet companionship, she ensures each moment is enriching, engaging, and full of love. Any pet in her care is in the best possible hands.”

“⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️ Lizz is an outstanding house and pet sitter. She cared for our two dogs and bunny multiple times over several weeks, and went above and beyond by watering our plants and cleaning the pool filters. She even sent us pictures of them each time she visited our house which made us feel better since we were missing them. Everything was spotless and our pets were happy when we returned. She’s reliable, thoughtful, and truly top-notch. I would recommend Lizz without hesitation.”

New Hempstead cat parents share their Rover experiences
Elizabeth is very reliable and flexible. I have a geriatric cat that does not like strangers, and she took to Elizabeth right away. Going away was a huge concern for me . She sent photos every day and reassured me that Ally Cat was doing well. I will be using her every time I go away!
Christy is extremely nice and professional. She dropped in every day for a week to take care of my kitties while I was on vacation. She cleaned their litter, fed them, and played with them every day. She took nice pictures of them and allowed me to enjoy my vacay without any worries. She even took care of my guitars everyday by emptying the dehumidifier. My cats were also not afraid of her at all when they first met her. 10/10 would recommend.
Cheryl was taking care of our cat Chimney for a week and we are thankful to find a happy kitty upon our return. Our furry friend was well fed and loved and the feeding area was clean and perfectly maintained. Cheryl responds in seconds, maintains great communication and really cares about wellbeing of the whole family!!! Thank you, Cheryl!
This is the second time Stephanie has taken care of our cat. She is wonderful - trustworthy, caring and responsible. Our shy cat really responds to her and while we’re away, we’re so happy that he’s in such good hands. She really understands and knows how to relate to cats!
