About: I’ve cared for a wide variety of animals over the past 10 years, including raising my own Bichon Frise for 8 years and hosting a British Shorthair cat in my home for 2 years. Friends and family often turn to me to help care for their pets—dogs, cats, and even more unusual animals—because they know I’m attentive, patient, and genuinely passionate about animals. Whether it’s walking, feeding, bathing, or just giving lots of love and playtime, I’m experienced and trustworthy. I’m currently on summer break from school, so I’m available every day to care for your dog or cat. With a flexible schedule, I can give them plenty of attention and playtime throughout the day. My home has a spacious living room where your pup can play freely and safely. I’ll be by their side to keep them company, make them feel comfortable, and ensure they’re happy and cared for at all times. Our neighborhood also has beautiful green spaces—perfect for daily walks and outdoor fun.

About: I've taken care of all kinds of dogs and cats since I was in middle school! My beloved dog, Marley, passed a few years ago and I've taken to spending time at shelters and helping friends and family with their furry friends. I love to make pets feel loved and owners feel at-ease. I work full-time, so I'll be around after 4:30 pm on weekdays. On weekends, I am typically around after noon! I work close-by, so I can always stop by on my lunch break. I can crate dogs if needed, and I am also always happy to do whatever is comfortable for your fur baby at your (and their!) home.

I’m a recent college graduate currently taking a gap year before graduate school. This means I have plenty of time to follow your schedule, and take care of your furry friends.

About: Pups have been a huge part of my life ever since I was a child. Besides taking care of my own dogs throughout my life, I’ve also been a reliable contact for any friends, family and/or local households who need anything pet related- anything from a quick potty break to a extended overnight care! I treat every dog as if they were my own and strive to provide a safe, loving, and dependable experience for both pets and their owners🐾 I am a teacher who is currently off for the summer. This makes my days very flexible for owners who need any last minute help or need more frequent visits for their pup! When caring for pets, I make sure to follow their establish routines, provide plenty of attention and exercise, and ensure they always have access to fresh water and a safe environment. I carefully monitor pets during walks and playtime, respect any special instructions provided by owners, and maintain open communication with regular updates for owners who may want a little extra peace of mind!

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.

About: Even if it's just a quick drop in for a potty break, I always make sure your pet gets some extra attention & snuggles. I am meticulous about special dietary needs & medication administration. Right now, I am available during the day mon, thurs, fri, and sun. I can also do evenings all week. Hoping to be able to add more availability to my schedule I always make sure that pets aren't able to get out if they aren't secured on a leash, or in a fenced in yard. I make sure to let other dog walkers know if a dog I'm walking isn't friendly. Temperature and terrain is always taken into account when dog walking

About: I’ve trained many pups, and can tell you that it’s not fun or exciting but always rewarding. I know the signs of all health problems and can accommodate accordingly. Ever since having a dog myself I understand how much you have to sacrifice for them, much like a child. Although a child doesn’t poop or pee on the floor, or chew up the baseboards. I will always fit pet care into my schedule wherever I can. I can walk them right before class, or take them out to play while I do homework. If there is a fenced yard I will sit outside and watch to see if your dog will get into any trouble. I have a super reactive dog and will never leave him unsupervised even if it’s just on the front porch with the gate closed.

About: I’ve watched, walked, and exercised pets since I was a preteen, starting with my cousin’s dogs, who I would play with and help get exercise. Neighbors, friends, and family have relied on me to watch over dogs, cats, fish, and even guinea pigs. Some of these families have had over 5 pets at once, showing that I can multitask! In addition, I have plenty of experience with pets of my own. I had a lovely Yorkshire Terrier named Roxy for 13 amazing years, and I currently have 3 cats named Chloe, Gary, and Pearl, all of whom are domestic shorthairs under the age of 10. Feel free to reach out if you need someone to watch pets of all types and all ages! I am a teacher, so I am available for nearly the entire summer! Even during the school year, I am available from 4pm onward. I am also flexible - I am willing to make changes to my schedule if needed to accommodate you. I have a fenced in yard to keep your dogs safe, and the fence is very low to the ground and not spaced out, making it difficult for even smaller animals to squeeze through. My organizational skills help me keep on top of strict feeding and/or walking schedules. I am also known for having a very kind and approachable demeanor through both my teaching and everyday experiences, which will make your pet both happy and comfortable!

About: I have always been a pet person. I’ve lived my whole life always having a pet. Whether that’s dogs, cats, bunnies, guinea pigs, or even fish! I love all animals and have even done wildlife rehab rescues. I’ve had experience dog sitting as well as dog walking. I know that every dog is different so I adjust to every pets needs, no two dogs are the same and every one is special in their own way :) Weekdays i'm available in the afternoons till however late is necessary. Weekends my schedule is practically wide open! My personal at home routine with my animals includes walks, food, water, play time,and anything in between! I have a large fenced in yard that my dog loves to run around in! I have a car too if any transport is needed, equipped with safety for dogs in the car! When I take dogs for walks I always bring a travel water bottle for them as well as snacks! I place a huge importance on dogs safety and health so on walks I will always go with the dogs pace and never push them past their limits, on really hot days we will stop for shade and water breaks!

I understand the concern people have for their fur babies. I’m here to give your pets the best & loving experience possible!

About: I have always owned/ cared for pets my entire life, which makes 25 years of caring for pets. I went to SUNY Alfred State College of technology, where I received my associates degree in veterinary technology, as well as a bachelors degree in technology management Fall of 2021. I started off volunteering at animal shelters in the fall of 2016. I worked as a Kennel assistant throughout the years of 2016 to 2020. I worked as a Veterinary Assistant from 2020 to 2023. I am currently a Veterinary Technician (Emergency animal nurse) at Veterinary Emergency Group. I have animal training, grooming, and Veterinary medical experience. I work a full time job at Veterinary Emergency Group three days a week. 12 hour shifts. I can also bring pets to work with me as well. So I am available all days out of the week. I do not have a fenced in yard, but there is a hiking trail around the corner from my home where I walk my own dogs daily. Pets will never be put in a crate. (Unless you prefer for them to be crated) They are welcomed to walk around my house, on the couch, and in my bed. I feed my dogs twice a day and they get walked 3-4 times a day. Whenever I have to run errands they stay at home with pee pee pads located around the house.

Monica had been the best dog help we could dream of. our Charli loves her so much.

We are booking her again june to november while im away for travel work… we love you Monica

About: I've always been happiest when I am around furry friends. I have worked in a Veterinary Office in thr past for 5 years and have gained a vast amount of knowledge of all different types of dogs & cats and understand they all have their own individual needs. I am able to administer medicine, take on long walks, even more active ones if requested being that I am very active myself. And for my senior dogs I am aware some need to go out more, or help with stairs etc. Some even love to get into things and need to be looked over a little more! I am very caring and trustworthy and will give your dog the best experience & care to meet your standard, keeping them happy, healthy & safe. References also available at request. I currently work part time with a very flexible schedule and a lot of open availability. Since I make my own schedule at work I am flexible. I care for pets at their own homes where I find it to be the best to stay in their environment and comfortable where I can come and stay with them or take care of them as needed.

I’m a mom and my daughter shares the same love for dogs because she’s seen it on my face. I cater to dogs because I love making them happy ! I’m great with walking them and playing fetch or what ever games they play. I have high patients and never rush dogs on their walks or playing times. I have no problems feeding dogs and bathing them if necessary. I am one of the biggest dog lovers and have never had a problem caring for them. I will promise that your dog will me very taken care of !

Frequently asked questions about Rover

The average cost for Dog Sitting in New Hempstead on Rover is $25.53 per visit (as of July 2026). However, all sitters set their own rates based on experience, location, and availability.

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

As of July 2026, there are 24,139 sitters on Rover offering Dog Sitting across New Hempstead. Enter your ZIP code to see which available sitters are closest to your home.

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 New Hempstead 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 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.

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.

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 New Hempstead with recurring or weekly availability, select "Repeat Weekly" and which days you’d like them to care for your pet.

Yes, you can find sitters who have experience with handling special pet needs in New Hempstead. On Rover:

  • 88% of sitters can help with special care needs
  • 92% can help with giving oral medications or injections
  • 95% 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.

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.
