About: I’ve had a dog since I was 8, and 2 dogs since I was 13. They are 15 and 11 now, so I have had plenty of experience with dogs of all ages, and multiple dogs at the same time. I’ve taken care of dogs for family and friends since high school as well. I’m currently in graduate school and most classes are at night, so I’m free most weekdays during the day. My current availability most weeks is: Monday, Wednesday, Friday: 9 AM - 6 PM Tuesday: 9 AM - 1 PM Thursday: 9 AM - 4 PM Weekends: All day I can do anything for you dog you need me to. Whether it’s walking, feeding, or just checking in on them, I’m comfortable taking care of dogs of any ages and any sizes.
“Danielle was so thorough and helpful in taking care of our girls! She is so friendly and made sure to capture every detail about our girls routine and personalities. She was so attentive to our dogs and it really put us at ease while we were away for a long weekend.”

About: Dependable care for your fur child at home for the professional who works nights, needs early morning help, or has a last minute trip. Happy to offer the best care while they wait for you to get home! Playtime, companionship, walks, feeding or all of the above. Will host for overnight stays depending on length of time and temperament. I work from home and have a small dog of my own to play with yours! Your doggie will blend in with our routine of trips outside, walks and fetch. I have a large yard and a friendly dog to play with yours. The dogs are always around me and get plenty of play and treats.

About: I’ve been taking care of dogs and cats since I was very young, I’ve always had a huge love for all animals and I’ll treat your fur babies like their mine! I’m your go-to weekend pet sitter! I currently work a full-time 9–5 job during the week, which allows me to dedicate my weekends to providing attentive and reliable pet care. I’m available on Fridays, Saturdays and Sundays and some Mondays so feel free to ask me and I enjoy spending my free time making sure pets feel happy, comfortable, and loved while their owners are away. I prefer caring for pets in their own homes, where they can maintain their normal routines and feel most at ease. I believe pets are happiest and most comfortable in their own familiar environment, which is why I prefer providing care in my clients’ homes. I treat every pet with the same love, patience, and attention I would give my own. I always make sure to follow their regular feeding schedules, walking routines, and any special instructions provided by their owners. Safety and cleanliness are very important to me, and I make it a priority to respect both your home and your pet’s individual needs. I also believe communication is key, so I’m happy to provide regular updates and pictures to give you peace of mind while you’re away.
About: What sets me apart from other sitters is my personalized approach to each pet’s needs. I take the time to get to know your pet’s routine, preferences, and quirks, ensuring they feel at ease while you’re away. Whether it’s providing extra cuddles, managing special diets, or offering daily updates with photos and videos, I treat your pet like my family and make sure they receive the love and attention they deserve. Plus, I’m available for last-minute bookings and flexible with scheduling to accommodate your needs. During the week, I focus on my other commitments, but in the evenings and on weekends, I’m fully available to give your pet the care, love, and attention they deserve. Whether it’s evening walks, playtime, or weekend cuddles, I make sure to adjust my schedule to provide personalized care and peace of mind while you’re busy or away. Since I’m not able to bring pets into my home, I focus on providing top-notch care in the comfort of your pet’s familiar environment—your home. I make sure your pet feels safe and secure in their own space, maintaining their usual routine and surroundings. Whether it’s daily walks, feeding, playtime, or administering medications, I treat your home as my own and provide attentive care that keeps your pet happy and healthy. Plus, I ensure regular communication with updates, photos, or videos to keep you connected while you’re away.
“Matthew and Christianna were excellent — punctual, communicative, and sent regular photo updates. Our dog was very comfortable and not stressed while we were away. We came home to a happy, well-cared-for dog and a clean, tidy house. For us, it was such a relief to be away and not worry about a thing. Highly recommended!”

About: About Me🫶🏻 Hi! I’m a lifelong dog lover with hands-on experience caring for dogs of all sizes, breeds, and personalities. I work remotely so I have plenty of time to give attention and love to your baby! I grew up in a household with large dogs and was involved in their daily care from puppyhood through their senior years. I have experience caring for dogs with health issues, including administering extra attention to senior and sick dogs. I understand that every dog has unique needs, whether that’s high energy playtime, structured walks, gentle senior care, or simply companionship and reassurance while you’re away. I’m attentive, responsible, and genuinely invested in making sure your dog feels safe, loved, and comfortable at all times. Dogs have always been a huge part of my life, and I treat every dog I care for as if they were my own. I truly can’t wait to meet your pup and spend time giving them the care, attention, and affection they deserve. I’m self-employed with the ability to work remotely, which gives me a very flexible schedule. This allows me to plan my days around your pet’s needs. My husband and I are both big animal lovers. We don’t currently have pets of our own, which is one of the reasons I’m so happy to be on Rover! I have lot of time, attention, and love to give to yours. Your pet will never feel like an afterthought, they’ll be a welcomed part of our daily routine while you’re away. I tailor my care to each pet’s individual needs, routine, and personality. For walks and drop ins, I focus on safe outings, fresh food and water, playtime, and plenty of affection. I’m mindful of energy levels, weather conditions, or any special instructions you provide. For overnight care in your home, I aim to keep your pet’s routine as normal and stress-free as possible. This includes feeding on schedule, walks or litter care, medication if needed, companionship, and ensuring your home is left clean and secure. I’m attentive to behavior changes and always prioritize your pet’s comfort and safety, making sure to communicate with you so you have live updates on your baby🫶🏻 If your pet likes to go outside, I’m happy to take them for a long hike on trails in the area, or a normal leash, walk, whatever you would typically do with them! Whether care takes place in my home or yours, your pet will receive consistent attention, supervision, and love treated as if they were my own.
About: Dog sitting has become the best full time job here! I have never been paid to dog walk/sit and only have purely out of love for all animals. I started volunteering for family friends and neighbors at a young age and will never say no to hanging out with a furry friend. No size or breed scare me - all are welcome (: Boarding - I am home everyday and have full availability to watch and care for pups. Yard is moderately sized and property is pretty private with our only 3 neighbors all across the street. I have many repeated clients outside of rover and we’re constantly rotating dogs so expect your pup to make furry friends during their stay! For walks - my schedule is extremely flexible at the moment, preferably mornings and late afternoons. Tuesday and Wednesday evenings are not ideal but can possibly work. Sunday mornings do not work. I have a mini goldendoodle living in my studio apartment. She is shy but warms up quickly to new pups. My apartment is the lower half of my dad’s house in a private wooded area on a hill overlooking the Hudson River. I am a free range sitter so pups are allowed on sofa and bed unless I’m given specific instructions which I happily will follow.

About: I was a mama to my Olde English Bulldogge boy Lolek for 11 years. I have 3 dogs, a 2 year old Bull Terrier female named Koko, an almost 2 year old Cockapoo named Nala and a handsome boy named Zane that is a Bernedoodle Pit-Bull mix. I’m a homeschool mama with a flexible schedule. I homeschool my kids so I have a very flexible schedule. I am available during the week as well as the weekend. I only my be unavailable for services between 5pm-7pm as I may be taking my kids to extracurricular activities. I have 2 dogs at home so I welcome pets that get along with other animals. I have a 1.7 acre unfenced yard and love walks in my neighborhood and playtime in my yard. My dogs are crated during the night and when I am not home. I welcome pets that sleep in the crate during the night but also can accommodate well trained sleepers that need a bed or sofa. I can train your pup with simple commands and can give a bath as needed (for extra cost). I do have a dog kennel outside that I can use to let the pets I care for safely run around and play with each other.

About: I’ve cared for dogs with a range of personalities and energy levels, from playful puppies who need lots of exercise to older dogs who prefer slower walks and plenty of attention. I make sure each pet’s feeding, walking, and play routine is followed closely and keep owners updated with photos throughout their pet’s care. Punctual, gentle, patient, and dependable. Typically will be able to spend at least 30 minutes with your pet for a drop in visit and more if they need to be walked, or watched for longer. Flexible with timing. I’m currently in grad school and have a flexible schedule to provide care for your pet, whether it’s a drop in visit or a walk. I focus on creating a safe, comfortable, and stress free environment. I follow each pet’s routine and the owner’s instructions closely, including feeding schedules, walks, medications, and any other specific needs. I’m attentive to their behavior and surroundings and make sure doors, gates and other areas are secure to prevent accidents or escapes. I treat every client’s home with the same care and respect I would want for my own, and I’m happy to provide regular updates and photos so you can feel confident that your pet is safe and happy while you’re away.
“Dana did a great job watching my two dogs! We met in advance of short notice as I was leaving town the next day. While we were gone, she stayed in contact with me and sent pictures and asked about giving treats and wet food. My dogs were very happy and comfortable at my home rather than bordering at the groomers. I definitely would book Dana again.”

About: I personally own two labradoodles myself. I have volunteered at multiple rescues, been a dog walker, trainer, and provided home sitting. This job needs attention to detail and care and that is exactly what I provide. Safety is priority. All animals that come under my care are brought out in a fenced yard or on a leash. Belly rubs, cuddles, and scratches are second priority! I am happy to send videos from walks together. Very dependable and reliable. I will treat your pet as if it were my own! I am available for mornings, afternoons, and evenings 7 days a week! I need at least three days notice so I can schedule this in. I have a fenced yard. Even with a fenced in yard I will keep your dog on a leash unless told otherwise. I will check dogs for tics.
“What a lovely cat sitter 💜💜💜 we had a last minute PANIC because our original cat sitter e for sick and couldn’t do it. Hansol swooped in at the last minute and was a massive help! Took great care of the cats and garden. Highly recommend.”

“Lorenzo did a wonderful job taking care of my dog, Lacey! He came over for a few hours, took her on a nice walk, played with her, and made sure she was comfortable and happy the entire time. It was clear that Lacey felt at ease with him, which gave me a lot of peace of mind. I’d absolutely recommend Lorenzo to anyone looking for a responsible and caring dog sitter!”

The average cost of Dog Sitting in New Hempstead is $43 per visit as of November 2026. Most bookings cost between $36 and $49 per visit. On Rover, 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.

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.

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.
