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.

About: I’ve always had a love for animals. My family always tells me I’d be a good dog/cat sitter because of how much I love playing and spending time with animals I’m currently attending school to become an Xray Tech. While school takes up most of my time, I don’t have time for a full time job so I’m looking to offer my help to those who need help with their fur babies whenever I can I love and care for others animals the same way I’d care for my own. My main goal is ensuring the safety of my pet

About: Hi I’m Abby! I’m so excited to take care of any animals, big or small! I actually have a little experience with dog training through school, as well as taking care of my own pups! I have taken care of cats and dogs basically my whole life, and as a college student I miss my animals a ton! I would love to take care of any animals as needed! I’m currently a college student at Farmingdale State so my hours vary. I would be free early in the morning before 9:00am, in the afternoon my schedule will vary but I am generally available anytime from 12:00-5:00, in the evening anytime after 8:00. Since I am in college my schedule will always change depending on what you are needing! Since I am in college I am unable to board any dogs at the moment, but i am able to care for your dogs in any way needed. This would include stop in visits, going on daily walks, or even over night stays. Whatever service is needed I will be able to accommodate with whatever needs you have.

About: We are a family of dog lovers! My husband and I both grew up with dogs, and though we don’t have pets currently, our love of dogs keeps us pet sitting and dog walking around our neighborhood.

We have a lot of snuggles to give your pups, and lots of walks to take them on, too! I am a stay at home mom so our schedule is pretty flexible! We are up early, and outside often. Any timing should be fine for us to work around. We have a fenced in yard with plenty of space for your fur baby. We can play fetch with your pup, give them lots of snuggles, and plenty of walks!

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.

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.

About: I bring years of hands-on experience in pet care, including time as a veterinary assistant and my ongoing work with the Town of Hempstead Animal Shelter as both a rescuer and foster. I’ve cared for pets of all kinds — from dogs and cats to birds and exotics — and I’m comfortable with animals who need extra patience, whether it’s shy rescues, energetic puppies, or seniors needing gentle support. What sets me apart is my ability to combine professional training with compassionate care. I’m skilled at reading animal behavior, keeping pets safe, and making them feel at ease in new situations. Whether your pet needs medication, structured playtime, or just some extra cuddles, I treat every animal as if they were my own. Pet care is a natural part of my daily life — I’ve built my schedule around it. Between my own pets, fostering, and volunteering with the Town of Hempstead Animal Shelter, I’m used to giving animals consistent attention, exercise, and enrichment every day. Whether it’s early morning walks, midday drop-ins, or evening feedings and cuddle time, I’m flexible and happy to adjust to your pet’s routine so they feel safe and comfortable while you’re away. Your pet’s safety and comfort are always my top priorities. In your home, I follow your routines closely — from feeding schedules to favorite walking routes — so your pet feels secure and stress-free. I take the time to learn their cues and make sure they always have fresh water, exercise, and plenty of love. If caring for pets in my home, I create a safe, supervised environment where they get attention, enrichment, and space to relax. Because of my background as a vet assistant, foster, and rescue worker, I’m experienced in monitoring health, administering medications, and keeping pets calm in new situations. Above all, I value trust — I treat your pets and your home with the same respect and care I’d want for my own.

Who leaves my home with a brand new personality! I have a big & fenced backyard. It is locked on top and boarded on the bottom. No way in, no way out! If you currently crate training your pet, I can easily continue to crate train here. Lastly, if your pet is under my care they will be as safe as they can be!

About: Animals have always been a big part of my life and have brought me so much joy. Growing up, I cared for many family pets, spending countless hours playing with them, taking them on long walks, and making sure they felt loved and well cared for. Over the past 5 years, I have provided reliable pet care for several families, including house sitting, daily walks, feeding, playtime, and companionship for their pets. I treat every animal as if they were my own and always strive to ensure they feel safe, happy, and comfortable while in my care! I work Monday through Friday from 7:00 AM to 3:30 PM, which allows me to be available after work on weekdays. I also have greater flexibility on weekends and can provide extended care during those times. I’m happy to work with your schedule to ensure your pet receives the attention and care they need. Caring for a pet to me would mean a clean safe environment. Making sure if it’s a puppy there are no choking hazards around that it’s not gonna harm the animal. Also, tiding the area keeping toys to one location, any accidents the animal may have, I would clean that up. Making sure there’s always fresh clean water for the puppy to drink, and plenty of play time and exercise. Some animals may have long hair and that may require some grooming with a brush.

About: Hi my name is Saige, and I’m a college student and have been around animals my entire life and have experience caring for pets of all ages, sizes, and personalities. I currently have a senior dog with diabetes who I help care for, including giving his insulin, keeping up with his feeding schedule, and making sure he gets the extra attention he needs as he gets older. I also have two cats and have experience caring for dogs of all sizes, cats, turtles, and other pets. I’m also an equestrian and have been riding and caring for horses for years, so I’m very comfortable handling animals and understanding their individual needs. Whether your pet is young and energetic, older and needs a little extra care, or just wants lots of attention and cuddles, I’m happy to make sure they feel safe, comfortable, and loved while you’re away! As a college student, my schedule gives me a good amount of flexibility throughout the week and on weekends. I’m used to balancing school with caring for my own pets, so pet care is already a normal part of my everyday routine. I’m available for walks, drop-in visits, and other pet care throughout the week, and I’m happy to work with each owner to find times that fit their pet’s normal schedule and routine. I know every pet has their own routine, personality, and needs, so I always try to keep things as familiar and comfortable as possible. I’ll follow the routine and instructions you leave for me, whether that includes feeding, walks, medications, playtime, litter boxes, or just spending some time with them and keeping them company. I’m comfortable with pets that need lots of attention and activity as well as those that would rather relax or have their own space. I’ll also send pictures and updates so you can check in and know your pet is doing well!

About: My family has a total of 6 dogs ( 5 shihtzus and a german shephard) and I have taken care of them all since the age of 18, along with my 10 year old pup of course! Nothing is too "extra" for this dog mom. I wipe paws and tushies after every walk if you'd like! Picky eaters? I'll stand next to your pup, encourgae him/her to eat with baby talk if that's the only way they eat! I currently work from home full time and I'm available most weekends for walks and overnight stays. I love the company and the push to go outside for a walk!! For overnight stays, I have a clean studio apartment and they are allowed on my couch if comfortable! There is more than enough space for a crate as well. My street is pretty quiet for those pups who get scared of loud noises. No other dogs are living with me at the moment so all my attention is theirs!

Frequently asked questions about Rover

The average cost of Dog Sitting in Plainview on Rover is $44 per visit as of October 2026. Most bookings cost between $20 and $61 per visit. 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 October 2026, there are 24,756 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 .

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 , 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 .

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.

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 , 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.
