“Cynthia watched my pup overnight and took such good care of him. I felt at ease knowing he was not alone and with someone who genuinely likes dogs (even old cranky ones like mine). Thank you so much Cynthia!!”
“Ryan was totally wonderful with Knuckles. Knuckles loved him and they bonded instantly.He kept me updated and sent alot of pictures which I loved getting, He even stayed an extra hour thinking I was going to be home to relieve him. I couldn't ask for a more conscientious pet sitter for my furbaby! Thank you Ryan! Knuckles looks forward to seeing you again!!!”
“Thanks Lisa… I know our little old man can have tougher times at times but appreciate your care for him. Until next time, have a merry Christmas!”
“Anna was awesome! Very communicative and my dogs (and rabbit) loved having her stay with them. I was out of the country and she made sure I was updated the whole time. I felt very comfortable and relaxed :) we will definitely be booking with Anna again!”
“Amanda is the best dog sitter! She sends frequent updates, pictures and videos of my dogs throughout her stay. In the videos, you can see that really cares about them and they feel so safe with her. The apartment is always clean when we return as well. She really is the best!”
“Camille was so professional, communicative and responsive to our dogs needs! We really appreciated the photos and videos she sent of our dog while we were out of town and missed him! He fell in love with her the second he met her, as she is really great with animals and reading their behavior and personalities. I would absolutely recommend Camille for all of your pets needs!”
“Keoma was great during a long vacation. She helped to facilitate several package deliveries as well that were unexpected. We had also only been living in this property for a few weeks so was further forced to navigate some repair work we were having done while taking care of our dog. Cannot stress enough her professionalism and response time while we were away. She also helped take care of our dog by adjusting his food when he was feeling a bit unwell early on in the trip. Finally, our flight home rerouted and we had to spend an extra night away. Keoma stepped up quickly and was able to issue us another booking and stay an extra night, all taken care of and discussed before we even left the tarmac. If you’re anxious pet parents like us, then just go with Keoma and be fully assured.”
“Danielle is a Godsend. She is so sweet with my girl dakota. Has always gone over and beyond to help me out in last minute situations and lives Dakota like her own. She even was helpful when my dog went into heat while I was away on my trip and washed her party panties ( diaper) for me. Can’t recommend her enough!”
About: ave been passionately caring for dogs of all shapes, sizes, and temperaments for over 20 years. My experience ranges from training high-energy puppies to providing gentle, attentive care for senior dogs who need extra patience and medication. I treat every single guest like a member of my own family, ensuring they get plenty of structure, playtime, and affection. You can enjoy your time away with absolute peace of mind knowing your pup is safe and loved. Because my routine is flexible, pet care is my top priority. I am fully available for weekend boardings and dedicated playtime, and my weekday afternoons are completely open after 2:00 PM. This schedule allows me to provide consistent potty breaks, regular exercise, and plenty of companionship so your pet never feels lonely or anxious while you are away. When caring for your dog in your home, safety and respect for your space are my top priorities. I strictly follow your specific instructions, maintaining your pup's established feeding, walking, and crate routines to keep their anxiety low. I am incredibly mindful of home security—making sure doors and gates are always locked—and I will keep you updated with plenty of photos so you know both your dog and your home are in excellent hands.
“John did an amazing job taking care of our two labs for eight days! He treated our girls like his own. He was excellent with her multiple medical issues, including, my girls, diabetes, which requires injectable insulin twice a day. He sent us constant updates multiple times a day, which included photos and video! He was so respectful of staying in our home and left it clean and tidy after his visit. I highly recommend him- he gave us the peace of mind to enjoy our family dream vacation!”
About: I have over twenty years dog experience caring for 4 different dogs in my life personally, plus countless other friends and family members dogs who all love me. I work remote, so I can take my laptop anywhere and work from everywhere. Plus my job is full of fellow pet lovers who all understands whenever I had to take my own dogs to the vet for instance. I recently had to put my little buddy down :-( and would love to get to help others take care of their own doggies. In my home I have a fenced in yard. I also love to take dogs on walks and meet other doggies, assuming they’re friendly. As far as meals are concerned, all of my dogs had specialized diets, so food was kept separate and prepared accordingly.
“Jane was so amazing, caring and meticulous with caring for our 2 dogs (one of which is a senior dog). She sent us detailed updates, photos and videos which giving us peace of mind when we were away on vacation. She left our house cleaner than the way we left it. I am so happy we found a great caretaker for our pups after many failed attempts. Jane was our saving grace and we look forward to using her again! If you would like to hear more about our sit I'm happy to be a referral, she was that good!”
“⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️Jonnalyn took great care of my pups and was very responsive during the two days we were away. Very polite and punctual. We definitely recommend her as pet sitter , looking forward to having her watch our furry ones again✨✨”
“Juan is an amazing person. I am grateful to have him interact with my baby (Rick). He is really good with animals, very understanding, kind, responsible, friendly, and easy going. From the first time he interacted with my dog, I knew all will be well, because my dog was calm. Rick (my dog) is looking forward to future visit. I would highly recommend Juan.”

Pet parents share their Rover experiences - New Hyde Park
I cannot say enough how wonderful and caring Jane was with our little 19 year old Daisy! She was incredible and gave me such peace of mind. Daisy was in a delicate state and Jane took care of her as if she was her own little pup. We were blessed to find Jane and will definitely be using her again!! Highly recommend her.
Giana was great with my fur babies. Giana made sure they had fresh air and let my babies play outside. My fur babies were well fed and comfortable in her care. I would recommend Gianna to any family or friend that needed pet sitting services. Thank you Gianna for the peace of mind you gave me while I was on vacation.
Kat was amazing with my two big dogs. We have an Australian Shepherd and German Shepherd and can be a lot. Kat made this process so simple. She came for a meet and greet and my dogs (and kids) liked her right away. While we were away, Kat stayed with them in our home. We got a lot of updates and pictures. We came home to a clean house and very happy dogs. Now we can’t wait to go on vacation again, since we know we don’t have to worry about the doggies!

FAQs for House Sitting - New Hyde Park
Frequently asked questions about Rover
The average cost for House Sitting in New Hyde Park on Rover is $44.4 per night (as of July 2026). However, all sitters set their own rates based on experience, location, and availability.
Rover makes budgeting the cost of House 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 House Sitting. For more information on service fees, click here .
As of July 2026, there are 18,575 sitters on Rover offering House Sitting across New Hyde Park. Enter your ZIP code to see which available sitters are closest to your home.
Beyond belly rubs and feeding schedules, a house sitter’s presence may provide an additional layer of security for your home. However, you will need to arrange overnight stays and other household tasks with your sitter when reaching out to them. Not all sitters offer the same services. Common household tasks you can negotiate include:
- Mail & deliveries: Collecting letters and packages so they don't pile up.
- Plant care: Keeping your indoor or outdoor garden hydrated.
- Trash & recycling: Taking trash cans to the curb on scheduled pickup days.
- Home security: Sitters can stay overnight to keep your home occupied.
The best way to align on expectations is during your free Meet & Greet. Use this time to provide a "home cheat sheet" that includes your preferred New Hyde Park walking routes, the location of your favorite pet store, and any specific quirks about your home’s security or appliances.
It’s helpful to think of house sitting as a "home base" service. Most sitters in New Hyde Park maintain their normal daily routines, like running errands or heading to the office, meaning your pet should be comfortable being alone for a few hours at a time. If your pet needs a little extra company, here is how to find the perfect match:
- Look for "WFH" sitters: Many sitters mention "Work from Home" on their profile to indicate they’ll be present for the majority of the day.
- Update your pet’s profile: Write down how long your pet can comfortably be left alone. This helps sitters quickly determine if their schedule aligns with your needs.
- Communicate 24/7 needs: Standard house sitting usually doesn't include constant supervision. If your pet requires round-the-clock care, be sure to discuss this upfront.
Tip: Use the Meet & Greet to confirm a sitter's typical "away" windows. Transparency ensures your pet stays happy and your sitter can plan their day effectively!
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 Hyde Park 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!
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.
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 .
If a health concern arises during a stay, your sitter is instructed to contact you and our Trust & Safety team immediately and, if needed, take your pet to the closest veterinarian. Through our Trust & Safety support team, sitters can ask for diagnostic advice from a qualified veterinary professional if your pet is showing signs of possible illness.
For extra peace of mind, you can also prepare an authorization form for your regular vet. An authorization form outlines your preferred method of care and allows your sitter to bring your pet into their regular clinic.
Every qualified booking made on Rover is backed by the Rover Guarantee, which includes reimbursement for eligible emergency vet care.
A Meet & Greet is a short introductory meeting between you, your pet, 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.
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.

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.
