About: I’ve been an animal lover since the womb! I also currently work as a vet assistant at Spring Valley Animal Hospital. I can also honestly say I love animals more than humans :) My schedule at my current job varies. I get my new schedule for the next week every Thursday. I’m 100% sure that I could be available for your pet if planned accordingly. I am a cat mom of 1 red tabby boy & a few stray cats that I still feed at my old house. I understand the concern people have for their fur babies. I’m here to give your pets the best & loving experience possible!
“Christine is great with my dog and he loves going on walks with her. She understands his personality and always communicates with us. Highly recommend Christine with your pets!”


About: I’ve had dogs since I was four years old, and they’ve always been a huge part of my life. Caring for them has never felt like a chore—it’s something I truly love. I’ve always had a special connection with dogs, and my friends and family joke that I’m a “dog whisperer” because dogs seem to gravitate toward me everywhere I go. Whether I’m on vacation or just out running errands, I can’t resist stopping to say hello to every dog I see. I’m also the kind of person who goes to a party and ends up spending most of my time playing with the dogs instead of socializing! I have experience caring for dogs of all ages, from energetic puppies to senior dogs who need extra patience and attention. My childhood dog recently passed away after 16 wonderful years, and during her senior years I gave her daily medication, made sure our walks were comfortable with plenty of breaks, and, most importantly, gave her all the love and care she deserved. I also have a senior Chihuahua-Poodle mix who needs daily medication and occasional help getting onto the couch or bed, so I’m very comfortable caring for older dogs and understanding their unique needs. I also have a younger dog that I raised and helped potty train, and I’ve taught her several fun tricks, giving me experience with puppies and basic training as well. What sets me apart is that I treat every dog as if they were my own. I pay close attention to their personality, energy level, and routine to make sure they feel safe, comfortable, and loved while you’re away. My goal is to make every pet feel happy and every owner feel confident knowing their furry family member is in caring hands. Pet care has always been part of my daily routine. I have two dogs of my own, so every day includes feeding them, taking them on walks, giving one of my senior dogs his daily medication, playing with them, and making sure they get plenty of love and attention. Spending time with dogs is something I genuinely enjoy, so caring for pets doesn’t feel like a task—it’s one of the best parts of my day. I make time in my schedule to ensure every pet gets the attention, exercise, and care they deserve. When caring for pets in a client’s home, I do my best to keep their routine as consistent as possible. I’ll follow all feeding, walking, medication, and potty schedules, provide plenty of playtime and affection, and make sure they always have fresh water. I understand that every pet has a different personality, so I take the time to make them feel comfortable, safe, and loved while you’re away. I’ll also treat your home with the same care and respect I would my own and keep you updated with photos and messages so you can have peace of mind.
“Kathleen was recommended to me by a friend a few months ago and has been consistently reliable and excellent. Unfortunately I am moving out of NY state now, and the last several weeks have been hectic but I am forever grateful for her service!”

“Carly did an amazing job. We required one of her drop ins to include a walk. She went above and beyond and took our dog on another short walk. Being home all day by herself this was great. She was prompt and on time. Will use again”


“Patricia watched our kitty Skye for a week & did a fantastic job! She has had cats for a long time & was wonderful with Skye & very respectful of us & our house. Patricia kept us well informed with details about Skye's care & did not hesitate to ask questions. We were completely sure that Skye was in good hands. We highly recommend Patricia for all your pets' needs.”

Dog parents share their Rover experiences - New Hempstead
Christy was amazing to work with! She was flexible as we need a last minute booking, came to meet us last minute and was very easy to work with! She was punctual, followed all directions and was great with my dog! Would definitely use her again in the future!

Liz is the best! She has now watched our 4 small dogs 3 times now while we’ve been on vacation, and I can actually relax on vacation knowing that she is taking great care of them! She gave 2 of my dogs their medication without an extra charge, and gave great updates with every check-in. I am also expecting a baby and she even surprised me and went out of her way to buy my 4 dogs bandanas celebrating the new baby coming which was extremely sweet of her! I will continue to use her again and again!

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 New Hempstead 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.

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.
