“Siobhan is wonderful with our senior Golden Retriever! She was so attentive with all the medication she takes and all her little quirks. She was always on-time and took our mail in too! Would highly recommend her.”
“Our cats are our kids and we hate them being lonely and uncomfortable when we are away. Our newest rescue also seems to not like men so much, so this time when we needed a sitter last minute we reached out to Ella and hit the jackpot!! Ella followed all our directions for feeding etc and kept our house clean while we were away...which isn't easy with 2 cats. Our cats, which can be very shy initially, fell in love with Ella and it put us at ease knowing how happy they were with her and how much they looked forward to seeing her. Highly recommend Ella to take care of your pets. She is very responsible, corresponds with you very well, and loves your pets like her own.”
“Karen is outstanding and I highly recommend her. She took excellent care of our kitties and they love her! I am very pleased with the top notch care they received. I am now, and will be a forever client.”
“Having Lauren care for my cats gave us peace of mind while we were on vacation. With each check in she sent us photos and was always available if we should have any questions. I will certainly be reaching out to her again to check in on my cats for any future vacations.”
About: What sets me apart from other sitters is my hands-on experience raising and training a puppy, giving me patience and expertise in leash manners, socialization, and potty training. I tailor each walk to a dog’s needs, whether they need high-energy play, gentle strolls, or extra reassurance. My background in caregiving makes me reliable, attentive, and dedicated to ensuring every pup feels safe, happy, and loved. Additionally, I have experience handling anxious or shy dogs, making me a great choice for pets that need extra patience and understanding. Every walk with me is fun, engaging, and full of tail wags! I have a flexible schedule and can accommodate morning, afternoon, and evening walks or visits. I’m available throughout the week and on weekends, with some advance notice. I balance my own puppy’s routine with pet care, ensuring I have dedicated time to focus on each pet I care for. Let me know what works best for you, and I’ll do my best to accommodate! I provide a safe, pet-friendly environment in my home where every furry guest gets personalized attention and care. My home is set up for comfort, with designated spaces for play, rest, and meals. Since I have a puppy, I ensure all pets are properly introduced, and I tailor care to each pet’s needs—whether that’s playtime, quiet relaxation, or extra supervision. I follow feeding and care routines closely, keeping owners updated so they feel at ease. My goal is to make every pet feel right at home!
About: I’m an avid animal lover with years of hands-on experience and you can rest assured when your pets are in my care! I’ve worked as a dog handler for an animal shelter and as a professional dog walker and pet sitter before starting my own business. I now proudly operate Wander Paws LLC, my fully insured pet care company, which I’ve been running independently for over six years. All pet care services are delivered personally by me, because your pets deserve familiar care and happy routines. Many of my clients have been with me for years, and I’ve had the joy of caring for several of their pets since puppyhood! Over time, I’ve looked after countless dogs, cats, and other small animals of all breeds, ages, and temperaments while their parents are home or away. I’m 27 years old and I am focused on building my business! I truly love spending my time taking care of your pets. And when I’m not working, I enjoy spending time with my own pack of pets at home: three dogs (a shepherd mix, a lab mix, and a terrier mix) and five rescue cats😊 I would love to provide all your pet care needs, from walks and playtime to feedings and medication. I’m also comfortable with light household tasks like handling keys, operating security systems, scooping litter boxes, bringing in mail, cleaning up pet messes, and keeping your home safe and secure. I will precisely follow the instructions and routines you provide. As a lifelong pet owner, I understand how important it is to leave your pets in the care of someone you trust. I’ll care for your pets as if they were my own, with plenty of love, consistency, and attention to detail. 💛 Flat rate care: I never charge extra for multiple pets or puppies. Medication, feeding, and special routines included. ✨ Don’t hesitate to reach out to schedule a free meet & greet. I can’t wait to meet you and your pets! AVAILABILITY: I have a daily schedule of dog walking & pet sitting Mondays-Fridays and I am now accepting new clients! I try my best to be very flexible, so please reach out and let me know what times you might need pet care and I will do my absolute best to accommodate whatever you might need. SAFETY: My clients’ safety, (both pets & people!), is my upmost priority. When going for walks, I will make sure your dog(s) is harnessed/leashed up extremely securely. Most of the time, I will attach their leash to BOTH their collar and their harness so if there is ever a product malfunction, they won’t ever get loose. I will walk your fur baby with my full attention and will not allow them to greet other dogs on their walk unless I am 100% sure that both dogs are friendly. I completely avoid any loose dogs that we might see on our walks to avoid confrontation. When letting your pets in the yard, I will always make sure that the gate(s) are securely closed before letting them out. If you have indoor cats, I will make sure they are safe inside of your home at ALL times. I will only feed your pets treats & food that you provide to avoid any allergic reactions. I triple check that all doors to your home are locked while I take your dog(s) out for a walk and after I leave. I am comfortable using any security systems you might have to ensure that your home is completely secure. If you confine your dog to a space for their safety while you are not home, (crate, room, playpen, etc.), I will also triple check that they are secured in that space before I leave. I will do everything in my power to make you & your pet(s) feel as comfortable as possible. Please communicate any safety concerns you might have with me. Your peace of mind is my top priority!
“My family and I are so grateful to have connected with Lauren! Having just moved and not knowing anybody in the area to look after our dogs, I was nervous about finding someone to help us out while we were away for a long weekend at the beach. My dogs took to Lauren immediately! She is extremely nice, down to Earth, responsive and reliable. I felt extremely comfortable with her in our home. She sent photos and updates of the pups during her visits as well. Highly recommend and am excited to book her again in the near future!”
“Once again, Taylor went above and beyond when caring for our pup. She shared details about her drop-in visits and we loved seeing all the photos she snapped when walking and hanging with him. Taylor is caring and responsible; we feel so at ease when she’s caring for our pup while we are away. We highly recommend her!”
“I am a senior living with my 5 senior cats. They are my family and their happiness is my happiness. Although I like to travel, I hesitate to ask my son and daughter-in-law to take care of them over and over again while I am out of town. I was planning to visit my other son and his family to see my grandkids in NC. I decided to give a try to drop-in care. After checking all the options, I decided on SARAH based on her background and reviews. What a choice I made; she was excellent, deserving more than 5 stars. First of all, she is an animal lover. My cats have a strong sense if a person likes them or not. They will either come to great that person or totally disappear. Looking at the pictures Sarah provided, they are all around her. Even on her shoulder, hugging. Yes, she sent me plenty of pictures every day, including before and after pictures of their plates, litter boxes, She let me know every detail about their wellbeing even sent me the pictures of throw ups, if she found one. When I was back, I found the house clean and in order. She even took all the garbage out with her. Well, I couldn’t ask anything more from her. I feel very comfortable leaving my cats with her again.”
“Amy took great care of my dog and cat. I can’t explain what a relief it was to find her. My mini dachshund is 16 years old and I don’t like to bring him into new environments or away from his best friend pelé the cat, so it worked out perfectly. I would highly recommend Amy!”
About: Hey there! I am new to sitting, but always willing to learn and gain experience :) Happy to take on any type of dog or cat (I have both). My cat is an escape artist, and my dog is insane. I can handle it all. I am free all summer for pet care! There is a short stretch of time in August where i will be away, but other than that, I am excited to meet new pet friends :) I am well versed in crating dogs, as well as keeping an eye on mischievous animals. I will follow any instructions given very carefully and ensure your pet is happy and healthy while you are away.
About: I have experience with puppies (basic training, routines) and senior dogs (gentle care, medications), and I treat every pet like my own while keeping owners updated and worry free. Pet care fits naturally into my routine since I work from home, allowing me to give dogs plenty of attention, supervision, and frequent breaks throughout the day. I also occasionally babysit for a friend nearby, which is easy to balance with pet care and never takes me far from the home. This flexibility lets me maintain consistent routines, playtime, and quality care for every pet. I follow each pet’s usual routine to help them feel comfortable and secure. I provide plenty of supervision, playtime, walks, and affection, along with feeding and any special care needed. I keep the environment safe and calm, respect house rules, and share regular updates so owners always know how their pet is doing. 🐾
About: Hi, I’m Mindy — I run MindySits 🐾 I treat every pet like my own, simple as that. I’m patient, reliable, and pay attention to what each dog actually needs. Beyond pet sitting, I’m deeply involved in the rescue community and serve as a Foster Manager with BARRK Rescue, where I help oversee placements, guide fosters, and support dogs coming from difficult or uncertain backgrounds. This experience has given me a strong understanding of behavior, decompression, and how to meet each dog exactly where they are. Whether it’s walks or overnight care, I keep things calm, consistent, and make sure your pet is comfortable and well cared for. I’ll also keep you updated so you’re never wondering how things are going. Dependable care and a happy dog that’s always the goal 💛🐶 Hi! I work a hybrid schedule, home 2 days a week. My husband is home so your pup will rarely be alone. I have always been happiest with a dog close by. I live with my husband, daughter, and our dog Willie 🐾 We’re a calm, dog-loving home and I just really enjoy having animals around. I also help care for a senior dog, so I’m patient, gentle, and pay attention to what each dog needs. I’m easygoing but attentive, and I make sure every dog feels safe and comfortable while they’re with me
“Katharine was great! I'm still nervous leaving our new puppy and she was very communicative and made sure to send lots of pictures so I knew how they were doing! We'll definitely be asking her to stay with Murphy and Maisie again!!”
About: Hi! I’ve had dogs in my life since I was 10—mostly golden retrievers growing up, and now I have a 5-year-old corgi named Monty. I work from home Monday through Friday, so I’m always looking for an excuse to take a break from my desk and get outside. I’m available for dog walks, drop-in visits, play sessions, or staying in your home while you’re away to keep your pet company and give them a little vacation of their own. I also love cats and have fostered both dogs and cats in NYC over the last several years. Excited to meet your furry friend! I work from home Monday through Friday, so pets are woven into my entire day, not just squeezed in before and after. I take regular breaks throughout the day and genuinely look forward to getting outside for long walks and fresh air. Having a four-legged companion along makes those breaks the best part of the day. I can accommodate multiple walks, check-ins, feeding times, or playtime sessions on whatever schedule your pet is used to. Whether I'm watching your pet in your home or mine, my goal is simple: keep their routine as normal as possible so they barely notice you're gone. I'm available for overnight stays in your home and am equally comfortable with crate-trained dogs or pets who have free roam. I'll follow your lead on feeding schedules, exercise needs, favorite toys, and any house rules you have in place. Because I work from home, I can adapt my schedule on the fly. More walks on a rainy day when your pup is restless, a quieter afternoon for a senior dog who needs rest. I treat every pet like they're my own, and I'll send updates and photos so you always know they're happy and in good hands.

I unfortunately am not able to board pets at my house at this time, but am more than happy to come to you! Before dog sitting, I would like to speak with the owners in regards to their pet's daily routine, dos and don'ts they may have, house rule, and any special or medical needs to ensure the best environment possible for yourself and your pets. I am even willing to meet you and your pets in person before dog sitting if you'd like!

Here’s a polished review you can use: 5 Stars ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ Jada did an excellent job taking care of our 14-year-old Cockapoo, Mickey, while we were traveling. Mickey requires medication, and Jada was very reliable in making sure he received all of his medications on schedule. She took him for walks, provided his food, and made sure he had regular pee and poop breaks. Jada was always on time for her visits and was very prompt with her updates, which gave us great peace of mind while we were away. Most importantly, she was wonderful with Mickey and treated him with care and patience. We came home to a happy, well-cared-for dog. I would highly recommend Jada to anyone looking for a trustworthy and dependable pet sitter.

My dogs took to Lauren immediately! She is extremely nice, down to Earth, responsive and reliable. I felt extremely comfortable with her in our home. She sent photos and updates of the pups during her visits as well. Highly recommend and am excited to book her again in the near future!

Stephanie once again cared for my four cats -- this time for 10 days. She is so great to work with. Responsive and responsible. She sent pictures daily, spent time giving my curmudgeonly kitties love and play time, and ultimately allowed me to enjoy my vacation without a single worry. She is just a wonderful.
Sydney was great. We were very apprehensive about leaving Penny alone. We were going away and our usual sitter had a last-minute change of plans. She doesn't do well boarding anywhere so we had Sydney stop in to dogsit. She was great with communication and did everything we asked to make our dog feel more comfortable with us not being home. I would 100% have her do this again if we needed. Thank you.
Elaina has been taking care of Max and Coco 4 days a week for several months now and they both just adore her! I have found Elaina to be loving and attentive with both, even getting Max to take his medicine even though he is a pretty stubborn little man! Elaina has been great about communicating with me after each visit and has been super flexible in terms of our schedule. Simply put, you will not find a better friend and care giver for your pet! Thanks Elaina!!

A pet sitter can provide focused care sessions, help your pet’s routine stay on track, or keep you updated on your pet’s mood and energy levels.
Whether you’re at the office for the day or traveling for a few nights, a pet sitter can offer potty breaks during a North Massapequa stroll, cleaning the litter box, or making sure your pet has on-time food or water refills. For daytime services like walking and drop-ins, you can also request sitters to send a report card with every visit.
Tip: You can discuss your specific arrangements with a pet sitter on Rover to what fits you, your pet, and your sitter’s needs. To find what their special skills are, look at the "Skills" and "Pet care experience" sections on their profile.
If you would like updates while you’re away, you can discuss with your sitter how many or how frequent you’d like those updates to be. The Rover app allows sitters to send photos, videos, and messages about your pet, including how many pee or poop breaks occurred. You can message your sitter at any time through the app and our support team is available 24/7 by email or chat if you have concerns.
The personalized, in-home nature of pet care through Rover can mean more individual attention for your pet.
Many pet parents provide a spare key or arrange a lockbox. You can also exchange keys during the Meet & Greet and show your walker how to use digital fobs or personalized codes. It helps to arrange access to your home, from spare keys to concierge introductions, before pet care begins.
If you live in an apartment or condo, don’t forget to discuss details like buzzer access, codes, or elevator etiquette. These details can help a pet sitter feel more comfortable going in and out of your building.
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.

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.
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.
