“Amy was great with our 2 large pups! We have a slightly complicated feeding routine and she made a clear chart to keep track of everything, including meds for one pup. Our house was just as we left it to include laundered sheets and towels which was such a nice surprise! Would be happy to have her come back.”
“Madison was wonderful. We had a meet and greet. After meeting her, I knew she was the one for us. She stayed at our house overnight and I received pictures of my cats along with my feral cat that lives here. I had no worries leaving her at our home. Came home and she left it exactly the way it was when we left. She listened to direction for feeding and not only were we happy, our cats were happy. Cannot wait to use Madison again. Thank you for making us feel comfortable with our fur babies. Michele”
About: I have 20+ years of experience taking care of dogs from puppies to seniors. I had four dogs of my own growing up which I took a hands on role in caring for and playing with. I currently have 2 dogs whom I love! I have looked after dogs for both friends and family. I am reliable, trustworthy, playful and will look after your fur babies as if they were my own. I'm currently working part time, so I have plenty of time to care for and play with your pups & cats. I am able to make myself available on weekdays and weekends. I offer drop in visits for both dogs and/or cats, dog walking and overnight stays at the client's home when needed. I have experience with puppies & kittens up to seniors. I have had both dogs and cats of my own. I love animals and it would be a privilege to care for your dogs and cats.
“what a wonderful first time experience our dogs had with Victoria! she showed her expertise immediately when meeting our two for the first time. our little one (6mos) warmed up to her right away and our older dog (6yrs) would not stop wagging his tail. they were well taken care of while we were out and we received updates and pictures throughout her stay. Victoria has a pleasant personality and is very personable. she is articulate and easy to talk to and truly enjoys taking care of your pets. we highly recommend her to anyone interested in her services and would not hesitate to use her again.”
“Trevor was wonderful! He was very attentive to all our house sitting and pet sitting needs. Including bringing in our many packages and mail that was delivered while we were gone, managing our pup’s irregular eating habits and navigating a visit from the cleaners. We felt great leaving our Zoey girl in his care and highly recommend his services.”
About: I have a degree in veterinary science and I’m currently on the road to attend veterinary school! I have lots of knowledge on pet behavior and how to properly care for them. I’ve worked as a veterinary technician for the past few years. I’ve worked in general practice, emergency animal hospitals, and even a pet hotel. I’ve cared for hundreds of patients, provided preventative care, treatments, medications, cleaned their kennels, walked dogs, and played with them. I also helped my senior dog turn around her health around by helping her lose 8 lbs! I’ve been working with animals for the past few years, I truly love what I do.

I feed them, clean their litter boxes, clip their nails, and clean their ears.

About: I have experience caring for pets through both professional work and personal ownership. I currently provide dog walking and pet care through Wag!, where I’ve worked with dogs of different ages, sizes, and energy levels, including senior dogs and more active breeds. I’ve also had the opportunity to build trust with repeat clients by providing dependable, compassionate care. As a proud cat mom to two cats, I understand the importance of patience, routine, and recognizing each pet’s unique personality. In addition, I’ve volunteered with a cat rescue, where I cared for cats with a wide range of temperaments, cleaned enclosures, socialized cats, and administered oral and topical medications when needed. I also spent a year working at a family-owned pet store that specialized in dogs, cats, and exotic animals, giving me hands-on experience with daily animal care and pet wellness. My goal is to provide every pet with a safe, loving, and stress-free experience while giving pet parents peace of mind. Pet care fits naturally into my weekly routine because I work remotely, which gives me a flexible schedule and allows me to dedicate quality time to the pets I care for. Since I also drive, I’m able to reliably travel to visits, walks, and drop-ins. I enjoy staying active and spending time with animals, so caring for pets is something I genuinely look forward to each week. Your pet’s safety, comfort, and routine are my top priorities. I believe pets feel happiest in their own home, so I take the time to learn their schedule, feeding routine, exercise needs, and any special instructions before each visit. I always ensure doors, gates, and harnesses are secure, keep a close eye on your pet during walks and playtime, and treat your home with the same care and respect I would my own. I’ll also provide updates and photos so you can have peace of mind knowing your pet is safe, happy, and well cared for while you’re away.

I’ve cared for pups big and small—from Yorkies to Beagles to German Shepherds to Mastiffs—and I adore cats of all personalities, from shy lap cats to curious mischief-makers.

“Let me start by saying Kristen was amazing! After having a bad experience with a previous dog sitter, I was very nervous about having someone new watch my two pups. Kristen put me at ease- she took time out to come over and meet me and the dogs before her stay started. She checked in often with pictures and videos of my pups and even left some sweet printed out photos of them for me once I returned. I cannot recommend her enough and will definitely be booking her again!”
“Mindy is reliable and a great Petsitter. My nervous dog Max started to relax and my demanding cat Tigger got lots of attention. They were in very good hands which put me at ease for my vacation. Loved getting the updates and photos. Thank you Mindy !”
“Chaira was excellent. Took such good care of my two babies Trixie and Max. She sent allot of pictures and text with any questions she had. Made my trip so much better knowing they were well cared for. Definitely recommend!!”

Pet parents share their Rover experiences - North Massapequa
This was our first time using Rover for our beloved girl Maude so we didn’t know what to expect. From the very first message with Amy she made us feel at ease! Maude has a complex skin routine and eating habits and Amy followed them all beyond expectations. Amy provided updates and pictures letting us know how the weekend was going. We are so grateful for Amy’s love and care of our Maude while we were away. She is truly the best!
Sarah was wonderful with my 3 dogs. I knew they were in good hands since she has alot of veterinay experience. She’s sweet and conscientious. Sent me updates and pictures. Also left my home super clean. The dogs were very calm and happy when I got home. If you want a good, reliable pet sitter, Sarah’s the one!
2nd time using Alex for 9 days as an in house sitter. Fantastic job as usual. It's such a relief knowing our boy is being taken care of by someone who cares about him. We were updated several times a day with pictures and we were in constant contact. We will always use Alex when he is available and I would highly recommend his services. He's the best.
Charlotte was the best ! I am so happy I found her . She not just was great in communication but she was great in keeping my baby entertained and we taken care of . She made me feel calm knowing he was in good hands by sending me pictures of him and letting me know how he’s doing . She’s caring and from the start she was interested in knowing my routine with him and paid close attention to details and did everything what I asked her to do . She was great and definitely will be using her for the future . Thank You Charlotte.
Lenora was absolutely amazing. She stayed in our home and took care of our dog, Cloud, for 5 days, and we couldn’t have asked for a better sitter. She was attentive, reliable, and clearly gave Cloud so much love and care. We received regular updates after walks along with plenty of adorable photos, which gave us total peace of mind while we were away. Our home was well cared for, and Cloud was happy, relaxed, and clearly comfortable with her. Lenora is hands-down the best sitter we’ve found here, and we would 100% book her again in the future. Highly recommend her to anyone looking for someone they can truly trust.
Joey was a pleasure to work with, it was the first time ever that I left my pup and didn’t cry I felt so comfortable leaving my guys with her, , Joey sent me pictures and videos every day and kept me updated on everything. As for my house Joey was the perfect houseguest. If we could give scores she would be a A+++++++ 10/10 I am most definitely going to use Joey again. If you are nervous leaving your pets when you go away trust me if you use Joey you will never be nervous again. Thank you again Joey for everything that you did and for loving my babies as if they were your own .

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 North Massapequa 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 North Massapequa 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 North Massapequa 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.
