About: What differentiates me is the love and patience I give to each pet. I have experience with puppies and older dogs that need special care and shy rescue puppies. I treat each pet as if it were mine and always keep the owners informed with photos and messages. Pet care is part of my everyday life. I enjoy spending time with animals in the mornings and evenings, and I always make sure pets receive walks, playtime, and attention throughout the day. My schedule is flexible, so I can adjust to the needs of each pet and provide reliable, loving care whenever it’s needed. Safety and comfort are my top priorities. In my home, pets always have a clean and cozy space, fresh water, and regular walks or playtime. I make sure the environment is safe, secure, and free of hazards. In a client’s home, I follow their routines carefully, respect their rules, and provide regular updates with photos so owners can feel at ease knowing their pets are happy and cared for

About: In addition to pet sitting, I’m also a dog trainer! I went to school for animal science and I am a veterinary technician student. I ALWAYS knew this was what I wanted to do. I have tons of experience dealing with different types of animals and I’d love to use that same passion to help keep your babies safe and happy! I currently work full-time, but I am able to dedicate time to the animals being that they can join me at work. I’m available everyday of the week for boarding, but for other services my availability varies. I use crates to ensure the safety of the animals anytime I’m away. I also live with my partner who enjoys taking care of the animals with me.

“Eleni was WONDERFUL with my 2 cats!!! I will definitely be hiring her again!!! Mochi has diabetes and requires an insulin injection every 12 hours in addition to another medication twice a week and Eleni was happy to learn and able to give Mochi his meds which can be a bit daunting and sometimes difficult depending on his mood. but Eleni was attentive and really took the time to learn and care for him properly! my other cat Kumo is a scaredy baby and rarely shows his face around people but Eleni was patient and really put effort into getting him comfortable with her. Eleni updated me with great details about how they’re doing and food. the weather was changing every day from being very cold and then very hot and Eleni proactively adjusted the thermostat accordingly when needed! she would turn on cat TV every couple days AND put treats in their treat games daily so they would stay occupied during the day. Mochi had an accident and Eleni didn't hesitate to clean it up and take out the trash. she really took care of everything!”

“Ariana was wonderful with Reggie! This was my first time using Rover, and I was especially nervous leaving him after recently relocating back to NYC. Ariana was communicative, sent daily report cards with updates and photos, and checked in to make sure everything was going well, which really put my mind at ease. I came home to a very happy cat and would definitely recommend Ariana!”

About: I have lived on a farm up until college. I am aware that taking care of animals is not easy. I understand that people there is a lot of care and patience that goes into their care. I have taken care of friend's and family's pets and have always loved getting to meet other dogs. Whether that is on Ohio State's oval and I get to meet a service animal or seeing my best friend's dog, meeting a furry friend always brings a smile to my face! I recently moved to NYC to pursue my acting and modeling dreams. With that being said, I am trying to earn as much as I can to support myself in the city, especially since I also graduated from Ohio State this past year. I will follow all directions given by the pet owners. I typically make sure that the pet itself is happy with the care I give, and if there is a way to improve that, I will find it! I am respectful of the owner's boundaries and will make sure to ask if any questions/ problems pop up. I am huge on communicating and will make sure that any issues are reported to the owner. Additionally, I will take extra measures to ensure that doors are locked and any entrance/exit I use it locked before I leave the house! I have a lot of flexibility at the moment so I’m trying to work as much as possible. I typically have auditions and shows at night but again, I have flexibility. I’m willing to work with you! I ensure that they have clean water and food at all times. I also love spending time playing and making sure they receive the affection they need via lots of pets! I also make sure that the space is clean and maintained. I will pick up after your animals and clean a little bit too :-)

She sent pictures to us so we could see how happy the dog was. It is very clear how much she loves the pets in her care.”

About: Hi! I'm a lifelong dog lover with years of experience caring for pups of all ages—from energetic puppies to sweet senior dogs. I share my home with Ollie, my friendly and active 11-year-old Cocker Spaniel mix, who loves making new dog friends. I previously worked as a veterinary technician and am Fear Free Certified, so I'm comfortable administering medications (including injections), recognizing signs that something isn't quite right, and helping nervous pups feel safe and comfortable. I also have experience with basic training and love reinforcing good manners using positive, reward-based methods. I currently work in the animal health industry, but I missed the hands-on part of caring for dogs, so I'm excited to be back doing what I love! I also owned and operated a dog walking and daycare business in Washington, DC, so whether your baby needs a fun walk, puppy playtime, extra patience for their senior years, or lots of love while you're away, they'll be treated like part of my family! My schedule is flexible, so I'm available most days, evenings, and weekends—with weekends being my preferred time for bookings! I can usually accommodate requests with about a day's notice. Whether you need a walk, drop-in visit, or overnight care, feel free to reach out. Even if it's last minute, I'm always happy to see if I can make it work! Your pup's safety and comfort are my top priorities! I have one very dog-friendly dog, Ollie, and live alone in a one-bedroom apartment, so I can easily separate dogs if needed. We're also just a short walk from Prospect Park for plenty of exercise and enrichment. In your home, I'll stick to your pup's normal routine, including walks, meals, medications, playtime, and lots of love and attention so they feel comfortable while you're away.

About: What I have learned over the years: Routine grooming, eating and walking schedules are what keeps happy, healthy cuties! 🎀 Not only can we really connect and understand our pets but they do their best to return the favor. Being a sitter that you can depend on with my punctuality, attention to detail/cues, and the natural ability to show up as a friend for your pet!:) ✨✨ I’m a traveling artist with ✨Open Availability ✨. I work with you ahead of time so that we can always stay aligned in time management. Reliability when there is short notice is no problem, we can work something out! Staying as specific to your house routine with your baby is whats important and keeps the flow of sitting a subtle and enjoyable journey. I also would love to bring toys or gifts for pets as we get acquainted. Getting to know each of my clients formally will keep a great relationship overall.

About: My siblings would ask me to babysit their dogs while they were away, and I always made it a point to leave their homes as I found it. I’ve worked in childcare and taught karate for three years now (not saying is the same thing) so your pet will be receiving the attention and play they need. Karate lessons too if they’d like🙌! I work part time at a martial arts school. Tuesday and Thursday nights I am working for certain. Throughout the day I’m available to walk/babysit/etc. I have work on my laptop so I can take whatever I need to a home and house sit at the same time. I always want to keep an eye on them, making frequent checks to see how they’re doing. I’d like to be informed of any quirks or habits I should be aware of so the pet is comfortable and receives the best care possible. If they want to play, I’m so ready to play!

About: I have been a in-home pet sitter for the past six years for a medium size dog who had special needs as a puppy. I also am a pet photographer and have done pet portraits and holiday cards! I recently lost my beloved dog Zoey, who I had for over 12 years. I love dogs deeply, and welcome them into my home. I am available on a part time basis with more availability during the summer months. Weekends are ideal but I can be available after 5pm on weekdays or early morning. I live in a pet friendly apartment building, in a dog friendly neighborhood! My apartment is in the smaller side but dog and cat safe!

About: I’ve always loved animals and feel very comfortable caring for dogs of all personalities and sizes. While I’m newer to professional pet sitting, I’m responsible, patient, attentive, and will treat your pet like they’re my own. I’m happy to follow your pet’s normal routine, including feeding, walks, playtime, potty breaks, and lots of attention and affection. I understand how important it is to trust the person caring for your pet, so I’ll make sure to keep you updated and make your pet feel safe and comfortable while you’re away. I am currently enrolled in community college and have a few other part time jobs, I’m mainly looking for dog walking jobs. I am fairly flexible in my schedule so I’m looking to take on some cuties! My backyard is fenced but I’m not currently looking for bookings. I don’t currently have the resources to house pets in my home. I am however open to dog sitting.

Dog parents share their Rover experiences - Rockaway Park

We honestly couldn’t have asked for a better experience! Our dogs have never been cared for by anyone other than family, so leaving them with someone new was a HUGE step for us. From the very beginning, Stephanie and Brian made us feel completely comfortable and reassured that our dogs were in great hands. They were incredibly kind, attentive, and genuinely caring toward our dogs. It was obvious that our dogs were so comfortable with them right away! Their communication gave us so much peace of mind while we were away. Before having Stephanie and Brian watch our dogs for a week, we did two 30-minute walks together so they could get to know the dogs their routine and personalities, etc. Stephanie and Brian picked up on the dogs’ routines, and needs so quickly, which immediately made me feel like our dogs were in great hands! We are SO grateful we found Stephanie and Brian! They are trustworthy, reliable, compassionate, and SO great with our dogs. We will definitely be reaching out to them again in the future!

FAQs for Dog Sitting - Rockaway Park

Frequently asked questions about Rover

The average cost of Dog Sitting in Rockaway Park is $34 per visit as of October 2026. Most bookings cost between $16 and $38 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 October 2026, there are 25,680 sitters on Rover offering Dog Sitting across Rockaway Park. 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 Rockaway 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!

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 Rockaway Park 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 Rockaway Park. 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.
