About: Hello, I have experience dog sitting for friends and family. My childhood German Shephard instilled in me a love of all canine creatures that I carry with me to this day. I would love to chat with you and help you with what you and your dog needs and wants. Proud caretake of a black cat, originally my grandmothers that she can't take care of anymore due to a stroke. All animals are deserving of a friendly face who they feel is there to love and help them! I live on Long Island but also work in Roosevelt Island in NYC. I'm willing to serve dogs in both communities. I want to help out with animals because I truly love and cherish them. Thanks for reading! Native English Speaker with some Spanish and French proficiency. Respectful of all Races/Ethnicities/Religions/Orientations/Gender Expression's. I'm usually good before 2pm in the daytime and then some evenings by appointment after 8pm-9m. If this doesn't work for you we can talk about making the schedule work to see if its possible. Comfortable with walking big dogs and dogs that push the walker as well. Have no problem with dogs of any size and good to get them to run around a while to get some energy out if needed.

“Not only is Sam my partner, but she has so much love to give and is amazing with Milo. She loves him like her own and he reciprocates with loyalty. For the last year he has been doing things I’ve never seen him do in the 9 years he was alive prior; he makes her follow him outside to play after he does his business in the yard, waits outside her shower, runs onto her lap once we sit outside, checks to see if she’s with me every time I get home, sleeps guarding the bedroom door, and he finally can withstand a car ride! Oh, and Milo hates the groomer so Sam learned how to groom him so he can still see, run, play, and go #2 without his coat getting in the way.”

About: Hello, my name is Anna, and I’m a dedicated and experienced dog caregiver with a lifelong passion for animals. Over the years, I’ve had the privilege of owning and caring for three wonderful dogs—a Bichon Frise, a Lab mix, and a Pitbull—each of whom taught me something unique about loyalty, love, and responsibility. My Experience I have hands-on experience managing all aspects of dog ownership, including training, daily walks, vet appointments, and all related care expenses. I'm comfortable with dogs of all breeds and sizes and am confident handling multiple dogs at once. Whether it’s a high-energy pup or a gentle senior, I tailor my care to each dog’s individual needs. I work full-time, but pet care is a meaningful part of my life and something I make time for. I’m available for evening walks, weekend dog sitting, and flexible drop-ins. Caring for animals brings me joy, and I always ensure they get the attention and love they deserve, no matter how busy life gets. In my home, pets stay in a safe, clean, and loving environment with plenty of attention, playtime, and care. I follow their usual routine to help them feel at ease. In a client’s home, I respect your space and stick to your pet’s schedule—feeding, walking, and giving them the love and attention they’re used to. Wherever your pet is, I care for them like they’re my own.

About: Dogs have been part of my life for as long as I can remember, and I genuinely can’t imagine a home without animals in it! Today, my home is happily full with three dogs, a cat, and two little boys, so caring for others is pretty much second nature to me. Two of my dogs and my cat are rescues, which has also given me experience with animals who may need a little extra patience, reassurance, and time to feel comfortable. I’ve loved dogs of all breeds and sizes over the years—from Great Danes and English Bulldogs to Golden Retrievers—and I truly believe every dog has their own personality, quirks, and way of communicating what they need. I’m patient, attentive, affectionate, and always respectful of the routines and boundaries their families have established. As a pet parent myself, I also understand how much trust it takes to hand your dog’s leash over to someone else. I’ll treat your dog the way I would want someone to treat mine: with kindness, patience, attention, and lots of love. I originally joined Rover years ago simply because spending time with dogs sounded like the best job imaginable. All these years later, that really hasn’t changed. 🐾❤️ I currently work a hybrid schedule, which gives me plenty of flexibility for walks and drop-ins throughout the week. I especially love early morning and evening walks! As a lifelong dog owner with three dogs of my own, pet care is already a big part of my everyday routine. Your pet’s safety and comfort will always come first. I’ll follow your instructions and routines closely, keep dogs securely leashed on walks, and pay attention to their individual personality and needs. I’m also very respectful of clients’ homes and will treat both your pet and your space with the same care I’d want for my own.

FAQs for Dog Sitting - Plainview

Frequently asked questions about Rover

The average cost of Dog Sitting in Plainview is $44 per visit as of November 2026. Most bookings cost between $20 and $61 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. As long as your booking dates and pet profiles are accurate, the price shown before you confirm is the total, including any booking fee.

As of November 2026, there are 24,709 sitters on Rover offering Dog Sitting across Plainview. Enter your ZIP code to see which available sitters are closest to your home.

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 Plainview 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.

To find sitters in Plainview with recurring or weekly availability, select "Repeat Weekly" and which days you’d like them to care for your pet.

Yes, you can find sitters who have experience with handling special pet needs in Plainview. On Rover:

  • 83% of sitters can help with special care needs
  • 88% can help with giving oral medications or injections
  • 94% can help with daily exercise

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.

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.

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.
