We relaxed after day 2 knowing Riley was in good hands! We highly recommend Maria and will definitely be calling again! Annette”

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 :) My schedule is pretty flexible as I do a lot of remote work. I do take some classes in the city at night but easily commute! Weekdays i'm available in the mornings and 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!

“Great experience!! Marisa just finished several days of daily drop-ins for my three precious brother cats. They had the same sitter for almost nine years in TX, but we moved back to NY and did not have anyone here yet for nearly two years. I was so nervous about having a new sitter because our cats require so much TLC and laptime, and so one of us always stayed behind with them. I knew the moment I walked in from our trip, that the kitties were calm and happy. Marisa gave them so much TLC and kept me informed daily with photos and reports about how well they were adjusting. Marisa is truly an animal person, and I could see how they naturally took to her right away. She was thorough and confident with instructions and care, and she reassured me that they would be in good hands!!! Very true and very happy to share that!!”

About: I have always loved animals and helping others. I’ve cared for many different pets over the years while working as a nanny. I even volunteered at a veterinarians office where I would help care for sick or abandoned pets. I am in college, which gives me plenty of time to care for your pet. My schedule is extremely flexible so I’m available most days/times. I am there to ensure your pet stays safe and happy, so I will always ask for your pet’s individual preferences that way I can support them in the best way possible.

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 been a dog owner and dedicated dog caregiver for over 20 years, and caring for dogs has always been a huge part of my life. I have experience with dogs of all sizes, including large and strong breeds such as Akitas, German Shepherds, and other high-energy breeds. I’m comfortable caring for dogs with different personalities, ages, energy levels, and needs, and I understand how important it is to make each dog feel safe, comfortable, and loved while they’re away from their family. I also volunteer with Guiding Eyes for the Blind, helping with their puppy training program. As part of the program, I have the opportunity to welcome a future guide dog puppy into my home for several days at a time and help with their training, socialization, routines, and everyday experiences. This has given me additional experience with consistency, positive reinforcement, following specific care instructions, and helping dogs build confidence in new environments. Whether your dog needs lots of playtime and exercise, some extra cuddles, structured routines, or simply a calm and loving place to relax, I’m happy to provide individualized care based on what works best for them. My goal is for every dog in my care to feel like they’re right at home! I work full-time, but my schedule gives me plenty of flexibility for pet care. I’m available for morning walks before work, evenings after 7 PM, and anytime on weekends. I’m also available for overnight care and boarding. I have years of experience caring for dogs and currently care for two dogs as part of my full-time childcare position. I’ve also had dogs of my own in the past. I live in a very pet-friendly apartment community with beautiful walking trails and plenty of places to explore. I’ll provide your dog with a safe, loving, comfortable environment, along with plenty of exercise, attention, and companionship. I’m happy to follow your dog’s usual routine and care instructions so they feel comfortable and at home while you’re away.

About: In addition to having my own family dog, I grew up taking care of other family & neighbors’ pets. This included regular walks, feeding, and overnight care. I’ve now been doing Rover for the last 6 years, taking care of dozens of dogs and cats, most of which return for recurring care — from drops ins to daycare and week+ long overnight stays. I work from home full time, so I can spend time with and be available for pets throughout the entire day. I have a very flexible schedule that allows me to stay with pets all day or drop in as needed. I’m a very attentive pet lover - always playing with/petting them. Odds are I’ll pay more attention to them than my job during work hours.

About: I’ve pet sat for neighbors’ dogs of all ages since high school, and I’m comfortable with daily walks, feeding, playtime, and cleaning up waste. I’m also very routine-focused—I stick closely to your dog’s schedule so they feel safe and comfortable while you’re away. I grew up with a mutt who recently passed, so I understand how important it is to have someone trustworthy, lovin, and caring for your dog. I’ll treat your pup like my own and provide daily updates with photos, plus quick notes on meals and how their day went. My schedule is very flexible, which allows me to accommodate a variety of pet care needs. I work Tuesday and Wednesday afternoons into early evenings, and Sunday mornings into early afternoon. Outside of those hours, I’m available for walks, drop-ins, feeding, playtime, and extended visits. I’m happy to work with your pet’s routine and provide consistent care, along with daily updates and photos so you feel confident while you’re away. 🐾📸 When caring for pets in a client’s home, I focus on keeping their routine as normal and stress-free as possible. I follow all instructions closely, including feeding schedules, walking routines, and any household rules you have in place. I make sure your pet always has fresh water, a clean space, and plenty of attention and comfort. For dogs, I’m careful with leash safety, door safety, and picking up waste on every walk. For cats, I keep litter boxes clean, make sure doors and windows stay secure, and respect their comfort level—whether they want playtime or quiet companionship.

About: I've always loved animals and have had cats since I was 8 years old. I currently have four cats, so I understand how important it is to have someone you trust caring for your pets. Over the years, I've cared for pets for friends, family, and coworkers, including dogs and cats. I've welcomed dogs and cats into my home for overnight stays, provided drop-in visits to feed and care for cats, and taken care of pets while their owners were away. I know every pet has their own personality and routine, and I'll always treat your furry family members with the same love, patience, and attention I'd want for my own pets. I also love sending photo updates so you can have peace of mind while you're away. I have a flexible schedule and do my best to accommodate each pet owner's needs. I offer drop-in visits, dog walking, and house sitting, and I'm happy to follow your pet's routine to keep them comfortable while you're away. Communication is important to me, and I'll always keep you updated throughout your pet's care. Your pet's safety, comfort, and routine are my top priorities. I'll follow all of your instructions carefully, including feeding schedules, walks, medications (if needed), playtime, and any special care your pet requires. I understand every pet has a unique personality, so I take the time to earn their trust and make them feel comfortable. I'll also send regular photo updates so you can have peace of mind knowing your pet is in good hands.

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.

About: What sets me apart is my reliability and attention to detail. I work full-time during the week, which means I’m very structured, organized, and consistent with schedules. I understand how important routine is for pets, and I take feeding times, walks, and medication instructions seriously. I also prioritize communication — I send regular updates and photos so pet parents always feel at ease. I treat every pet like they’re my own and every home with respect I work a 9–5 Monday through Friday, but I’m available for pet care before work, after work, and on weekends. I’m an early riser and can do morning drop-ins or walks before 9 AM. In the evenings, I’m fully available for walks, check-ins, feeding, and playtime. My weekends are flexible, so I can dedicate extended time to pets then. Whether caring for pets in my home or theirs, I prioritize safety, routine, and communication. I follow feeding schedules exactly, provide daily exercise and enrichment, and send regular updates with photos. I treat every pet like family and every home with respect.

FAQs for Dog Sitting - New Hempstead

Frequently asked questions about Rover

The average cost of Dog Sitting in New Hempstead on Rover is $26 per visit as of October 2026. Most bookings cost between $21 and $31 per visit. sitters set their own rates based on factors such as their experience, the length of care, the number of pets, and your pet’s specific needs. As long as your booking dates and pet profiles are accurate, the price shown before you confirm is the total, including any booking fee.

As of October 2026, there are 24,543 sitters on Rover offering Dog Sitting across New Hempstead. Enter your ZIP code to see which available sitters are closest to your home.

You and your sitter can agree on a care schedule that fits your pet’s routine and the sitter’s availability. Pet Sitting can be booked as a one-time or recurring drop-in visit. If you need overnight care or dog walks, you may also be able to book House Sitting or Dog Walking through Rover with the same sitter, provided they offer those services.

Before booking, confirm:

  • the timing, length, and frequency of visits;
  • the care instructions the sitter should follow;
  • which parts of your pet’s usual routine should be prioritized;
  • how often you would like to receive messages, photos, or other updates.

Not every sitter offers the same services, availability, or booking options. Review their profile and discuss the care you need through Rover before booking each service.

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 casual meeting to vet potential sitters and communicate care needs for peace of mind before a booking begins. Only sitters who have never booked with you before can schedule a Meet & Greet on Rover; however, you are welcome to coordinate one in Rover messages with sitters you have previously booked. This can be helpful if you have a new pet or routine you want to go over with your sitter.

Meet & Greets can take place in person or virtually. If you are booking with a sitter for the first time, we recommend in-person Meet & Greets to get a clearer sense of how your sitter interacts with your pet 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. Meet & Greets are a great way to prepare your pet and sitter for longer stays or first-time bookings. Read our tips for your first Meet & Greet .

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:

  • 87% 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 contact information. Sitters may set a same-day, one-, three-, or seven-day cancellation policy. Cancelling within your sitter’s cancellation policy qualifies you for a full refund.

Same-day cancellations for recurring services, which include walks, drop-ins, and day care, follow the full refund policy. Otherwise, for pet boarding and house sitting, if you cancel after 12 pm on the applicable cancellation deadline, you’ll receive a 50% refund for the first seven days of the booking and a 100% refund for any remaining days.

If your sitter needs to cancel within seven days of the booking's start date, then our reservation protection will kick in. This means you will get a full refund and our support team will work with you to find a replacement sitter.
