“I had such a great experience with Jacqueline! She took amazing care of my dog and kept me updated the whole time with pictures and messages, which gave me so much peace of mind while I was at my sister's wedding. Chloe looked so happy and comfortable with her, and it was clear she genuinely cared. I would absolutely book with her again and highly recommend her to anyone looking for someone trustworthy and kind to watch their pet!”
“Samantha was so kind, gentle and caring with my Noelle, I could not have asked for a better “babysitter”! I am so grateful to have met her and look forward to working with her again!”
“Angela stayed at our house and watched our two dogs and two cats! Everyone was happy, fed and safe under her care. We would have Angela back to house sit and care for our babies again!”
“Lisa is a caring person who was perfect for watching our 18 year old blind dog Jerry. She was attentive and kind. Would highly recommend her!”
“I felt very comfortable leaving my dog and elderly cat (who gets meds 2x/day!) with Michelle for 12 days. She is very responsible, has great attention to detail and is highly attentive to making sure all bases are covered. Additionally, and so important, she has a kind, loving and compassionate energy - I felt at ease leaving my furry children and home with her and was not disappointed!”
“Kelsey was always on time which is very important to me. She responds promptly to my texts and is easygoing and accomondating. Excellent experience after so many disappointing ones.”
“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!!”
About: Hi! We’re so excited to meet you and your furry friends! Although this profile is under my name, my boyfriend Billy and I will be working together, which gives us more flexibility and availability to provide your pup with the attention and care they deserve. We’re both huge dog lovers and have plenty of experience caring for dogs. We have our own dog, Hudson, a big, lovable Anatolian Shepherd who is truly part of the family. Billy has had dogs his entire life and has experience with dogs of all ages and sizes, including potty training and caring for puppies. We understand that every dog has their own personality, routine, and needs, and we’re happy to work with you to make sure your pup feels comfortable, safe, and loved while they’re in our care. I work at a school, so I’m typically available after 3:30 PM on weekdays. Billy works from home a few days a week, which gives him flexibility to help with quick walks and check-ins during the day. We’re both available most evenings and on weekends, giving us plenty of flexibility to fit your pup’s care into our schedule! We provide dog walks, drop-in visits, and in-home sitting, always focusing on making your pet feel safe, comfortable, and cared for. We have plenty of hands-on experience from caring for our own dog, Hudson, and understand the importance of keeping pets on their usual routines. We also know the local area well and enjoy finding safe, enjoyable walking routes for every pup.
“Andrea is incredibly attentive and always puts me at ease while I'm away! She sends adorable pictures of my kitty, sends updates every day and I can tell when I get home that she's been treated like a queen. So grateful to have someone I can trust looking after my home and my girl!”
“Aliyah was an amazing sitter for my dog! She came right on time, asked a ton of questions to best care for my dog. My dog loved her from the minute she got into our home. She was so kind and attentive to him and eased all our worries about leaving him! She sent lots of photos and videos. We will definitely be booking with her again!”
About: I have had experience with dogs since I was young, but I started looking after them for others three years ago. I currently care for the same dogs every day; I know how to prevent fights and avoid dangerous situations, and above all, I have a great deal of respect and love for these furry friends. I work as a dog sitter; my available time is only on Sundays and Mondays I'm looking to just walk dogs, but over time I could do you a favor with something else.

“Keoma stayed with our senior cat Clive for more than three weeks, the longest I have ever had to be away from him. He clearly fell in love with her, and he's more cuddly than ever. She administered medications, special food, and fluid injections. Plus she took great care of our apartment and was highly responsive. I highly recommend Keoma and look forward to working with her again in the future.”
“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!”
“Camille was so great!! She was super communicative and sent a bunch of pictures while I was gone. She understood Ronnie’s behavior needs and took great care of her. Overall it was a great experience:)”
About: Pet care experience Hi there! While I may not have a dog of my own, I've had the joy of caring for a dear French bulldog annually for almost two weeks each year.

Let me be your dog's caregiver, and they'll receive all the cuddles, playtime, and care they need. Looking forward to meeting you and your four-legged family member! 🐶💕 Welcome! Our family consists of myself, my husband, and our three wonderful kids. Though I never had a dog, my love for animals is evident through my adorable rabbit named Kruger. Nestled in a house with a spacious yard on a tranquil street, I offer a peaceful environment for your furry friend. I work from home on Fridays and have weekends off. I'm back home by 3 PM every day, ensuring your pet is surrounded by care and attention. Living on a serene and quiet street with minimal traffic, I provide an ideal haven for your beloved dog. My spacious yard offers ample room for them to play, explore, and stretch their legs.

About: Hi, I'm John! I’m an animal lover with years of experience caring for dogs, cats, and other pets. I understand that leaving your pet with someone is a big decision, so my goal is to make them feel safe, comfortable, and cared for while you're away. I treat every pet as an individual. Some dogs want a long walk and lots of playtime, while others are happier with a slower walk, some attention, and a comfortable place to relax. I take the time to learn your pet's routine, personality, likes, dislikes, and special needs before you leave. What you can expect from me: Plenty of attention, playtime, and exercise Walks tailored to your dog's age and energy level Feeding and medication according to your instructions Regular photo and message updates Careful attention to your pet's normal routine A reliable and responsible sitter who treats your home and pet with respect I also understand how important communication is to pet parents. I provide updates and photos so you don't have to wonder how your pet is doing while you're away. I work full-time in NYC, but I have availability for walks and visits during weekday lunch hours, and I have significantly more flexibility on weekends. I'm happy to discuss your pet's schedule and see how I can accommodate their needs. Most importantly, I want your pet to have a positive experience while you're away. My goal is for you to come home knowing your pet was safe, happy, and well cared for. I look forward to meeting you and your pet! I work full-time in NYC, but I’m available for walks and visits during the afternoon lunch hour on most weekdays. Weekends offer much more flexibility for walks, playtime, and longer visits. I’m happy to work with your schedule and your pet’s routine to make sure they get the care and attention they need. Your pet’s safety and comfort are my top priorities. I follow your instructions and your pet’s normal routine, whether that means a walk, playtime, feeding, potty breaks, or simply spending time with them.

About: I've lived with pets all my life, my family rescued Great Pyrenees so I am comfortable with large breeds, as well as animals in the process of being rehabilitated. I customize every visit to match your pet's precise physical and emotional needs. I am diligent regarding medication schedules, monitoring for subtle signs of discomfort or health changes, and adapting the environment to keep mobility impaired pets safe and comfortable. I'm a local law student so I am available anytime that I do not have class. Pet care is a welcome study break for me. For puppies, I focus heavily on consistency and foundation building. I reinforce crate training schedules, practice polite leash walking, and use positive reinforcement to support your ongoing obedience and socialization goals, ensuring your puppy's training never skips a beat while you're away. For senior pets and animals with chronic medical conditions, I bring a calm, patient presence combined with medical vigilance.
About: I have over 7 years of active, hands-on experience raising, training, and caring for dogs of all sizes, including large and powerful breeds like Rottweilers. Since 2018, I have been fully responsible for managing daily exercise routines, structured neighborhood walks, and feeding schedules.Beyond dogs, I am highly comfortable caring for cats, and other household animals. I am very attentive to animal body language, making sure your pets stay safe, comfortable, and appropriately active while you are away. Rain or snow, I stick strictly to your pet's schedule. Pet care fits smoothly into my weekly routine because I am an early bird who loves getting out of the house early to stay active. I prefer being highly proactive about my availability, meaning I only accept bookings on days when I am completely free and can dedicate my full attention to your pet. Whether you need structured early morning exercise routines, mid-day check-ins, or reliable evening walks, I communicate clearly and stick strictly to your pet's established schedule. When caring for pets in a client's home, safety is my absolute priority. I am highly attentive to animal body language and know how to maintain structural control when walking larger, powerful dogs on a leash. I strictly respect your household environment, adhere to your exact safety rules, and keep outdoor routines secure by avoiding any unpredictable interactions with strange dogs or crowded spaces.

Pet parents share their Rover experiences - New Hyde Park
Sam was great and my dog and cat loved him and were very well taken care of. Sam communicated with me and also sent photos, which I love, as I do miss my "babies" when I am away. Sam followed all instructions as my cat needs meds 2X/day. I will be using Sam again!
From the time we met Kara-Ann at our scheduled Meet & Greet, I knew she would take great care of our two pups! She liked them and they liked her. And while I missed my puppies the whole time we were away, I knew that I left them in good hands with no worries. Kara-Ann was a great communicator and I never had to worry. And when we came home from vacation, the pups were their usual crazy selves. I will definitely use Kara-Ann again and I highly recommend her!
I was reluctant to take a five day vacation because my cats have never been without me for more than one night and one of them is a Velcro kitty. I chose Jane after meeting her because I could tell she is caring and detail oriented, and out of all the candidates to spend nights at my home, she stood out. Now that I’m back, I know I had made the right choice; Jane was very loving with the kitties, remembered the nuances of their food and treat habits and sent photos and videos throughout, which gave me peace of mind. I will be a repeat client, for sure.
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!

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.
<b>Tip:</b> 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 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 .
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.
