“Ellisa took amazing care of our two kitties. We were gone for 10 days and the peace of mind she gave us was so valuable. We look forward to booking her again. Thanks Ellisa!”
“Jessie is excellent. She's extremely good at communicating, leaving detailed notes, taking lots of photos, letting me know about issues that came up, following the notes I left, and being flexible about making small changes. It gave me so much peace of mind while I was away for two weeks. Highly recommend!”
About: With a genuine love for all animals, I've been caring for furry friends for over three years professionally here in the US. Back in Italy, my experience stems from caring for my own dogs, creating a deep understanding of the bond between pets and their owners. My services include feedings, baths, regular walks, and extra attention for senior dogs. Additionally, I have hands-on experience with senior dogs, providing them the extra attention they need, such as assistance with walking and more frequent potty breaks. Your furry friend isn't just another job for me; it's an opportunity to make sure they feel cherished, secure, and content. As I ease back into the workplace, my schedule is open and flexible, allowing ample time to prioritize and care for your pets daily. Your furry friends are a top priority in my routine, receiving not just attention but genuine companionship. Unfortunately, I can't board pets in my home, but I offer dedicated in-home sitting services. I prioritize your pet's well-being by maintaining their familiar routine, creating a safe and comfortable environment. I ensure their needs are met, from feeding and playtime to adhering to any specific requirements. Your pets can enjoy the coziness of their own space while receiving the care, attention, and respect they deserve.
About: I've quantitatively proven that dog is Mans' best friend. My pet sitting experiences have taught me how to care for senior dogs with illnesses, how to care for untrained dogs, as well as how to take care of the coats of double coated dogs(Siberian Huskies). I'm currently working part time from home, with flexible hours, which gives me the opportunity to take care of your loved ones! I'm currently staying in a suburban/residential area which provides quiet sidewalks and parks for enrichment. And for those pooches who love a good walk and the great outdoors, there are beaches and nature trails only 30 minutes away, where I'd be happy to take them, on leash of course! Flexible schedule makes me available to board and care for the dogs of your family whenever. I am located in a suburban area of Brooklyn, with options for on leash trail and beach walks for pooches that walk for multiple hours. I have a fenced yard with a auto closer. Also have a smart collar, which your dog could borrow for walks, to add an extra degree of security.
About: I’ve owned and cared for both cats and dogs since I was a kid and learned that each pet has their own unique personality and charm no matter the age. Patience, repetition and treats are the greatest tools to have when training pups and caring for senior dogs. I believe that pets are family and should be loved as such as they help us more than we could ever know. I currently work evenings and pet care would fit into my morning schedule. I’m a bit more flexible on Monday and Tuesday and can walk your dog morning or afternoon. I always make sure that my place is clean and anything harmful for them is put away. I give my dogs lots of love attention and take them on long or short walks depending on the weather. During the spring and summer I take them to the beach or parks to have some fun in the sun
“I can’t recommend Jackey enough. She is truly wonderful, kind, and so thoughtful. She sent regular updates, photos, and messages, which gave me real peace of mind while I was away. She was always responsive and communicative. Most importantly, she was incredibly sweet and patient with my cat, who isn’t the easiest and is currently going through a lot of changes in his life. It was clear she really cared about his comfort and emotional well-being, not just the basics. I came home to a calm, well-cared-for cat, and that means everything to me. I highly recommend her to anyone looking for a caring and reliable animal person.”
“Keti was wonderful with my cat, I’ve never seen him so friendly with a stranger. He was the happiest I’ve ever seen him after coming back from a trip. She did a great job taking care of him and we couldn’t be happier.”
About: I have extensive hands-on experience in dog training, beginning with my first dog, a Jack Russell Terrier. Through agility and obedience training with her, I developed a strong understanding of canine behaviour, communication, and structure. I provide long, structured walks tailored to each dog’s individual energy level, temperament, and needs. At the owner’s request, I also incorporate basic obedience training, behaviour correction, and work on specific challenges such as leash pulling, reactivity, or lack of focus. I am attentive, patient, and consistent in my approach, always prioritising safety, mental stimulation, and the overall well-being of every dog in my care. I'm currently free on weekdays and sometimes on weekends too, early mornings and afternoons fits for me. I'm flexible for changes in my schedule and can adjust it to yours as well The safety and comfort of every pet is my top priority. Whether I am caring for pets in my home or in a client’s home, I make sure they are in a clean, secure, and calm environment. After walks, I always wipe or wash their paws, and I can bathe them if needed. I follow the owner’s instructions carefully regarding feeding, treats, routines, and any special requirements. If medication is required, I administer it responsibly and exactly as directed. I pay close attention to each pet’s behaviour and comfort level to ensure they feel safe, relaxed, and well cared for at all times.
About: Dog spelled backwards is GOD, be kind to your dog and GOD will be kind to you. That is Man’s only and true best friend I am a self employed business TEC specialist. I am at home all day and every day with time to invest in man’s best friend. Every pet is not the same, but I believe that the love, care and concern should be the same in every area and offer provided
About: What sets me apart is my mix of professional experience and love for animals. I worked at a grooming facility for 2 years, where I learned how to safely handle dogs and cats of all sizes and personalities, keep them comfortable, and pay attention to little details that matter for their care. This past summer, I also had the chance to travel to Australia, where I got to experience wildlife and animal care from a whole new perspective. That experience strengthened my passion for working with animals and taught me how important patience and consistency are in giving them the best care. Whether it’s energetic puppies or older dogs that need extra gentleness, I bring both skill and heart to every pet I look after. I am a 4th year part-time Pre-Vet student at Tuskegee University so I am not available on Mondays and Thursday's. But I am available every other day in the afternoon and most mornings! I live in a pet-friendly apartment with two other pre-vet students, so your baby will always be surrounded by animal lovers! There’s plenty of space for walks and play, plus access to a pool if your pup enjoys swimming 🤿. And for cats, I create enrichment activities or give them cozy spots to relax 😎. Whether in my home or yours, I make sure pets stay safe, happy, and on their usual routine with plenty of love and attention.
About: I’ve had cats and dogs since I was born, and have even worked in research settings with rats, mice and hamsters. I also have worked with assorted fish, but mostly for caretaking purposes. I am self-reliant at the moment for transportation, but I am in the NYC area often as well as in Buffalo so my services are for both college students that are busy in classes and working people alike! I am able to provide a slew of services, or pet related responsibilities that come with loving your pet, and am more than open to hearing your concerns. As pets are often a part of the family, allergies, medicines, and specialized routines are all very important to me.

“Robert has helped with my cat many times now. I always go back to booking him. He has always accommodated me if it was short notice and I had to run out of town. He is compassionate and happy to help. Aurora loves him!”
About: I've always had animals growing up and I loved taking care of them. I have 10 years of experience taking care of my own pets. I made sure they were fed a balanced diet, they had their daily walks, they were upto date with their vaccines. I also made sure that they were well-groomed, given lots of love and attention and spoiled rotten with toys! I currently work full time but I am available anytime after 3pm to pet sit the little cuties and I am free anytime on the weekends. I do not have yard space but I am close to the beach and there are a few parks to take the dogs for a walk!
About: Ive had several different types of pets of my own over the years, as well as family and friends pets that I’ve kept and cared for. I also worked for a dog walking company in the past and loved each animal I met. I’m a working musician, which makes for a flexible schedule, so I can be available in the afternoon and in the evening. Also available on the weekends. I have a high-fenced back yard at my place, and also a huge grassy park directly across the street, so the dogs would be able to play and run around easily. I’ve also got experience with dog sitting overnights in other peoples homes, and working with dogs that require medication or extra care. I am easily adaptable to any animals needs.
“Jonathan is awesome, my cat loves him! He is very caring and his summaries from his visits are very detailed. I felt at ease knowing my little girl was in good hands. I will definitely recommend to friends and family.”
“Stephanie is outstanding! She arrived early and stayed late. She went above and beyond my expectations and my puppy is totally enamored with her. She was highly communicative and sent numerous photos to ensure that everything was going swimmingly. Such a tender and caring sitter. I'm delighted to become a repeat customer!”
“Torry was excellent with my Cane Corso and Yorkie. He was diligent with his care and confidently controlled my pup. He was clearly the right person to care for my pet and anyone else’s. I will be using his services again and would recommend to anyone. Thanks Torry!”

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!

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.
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.

A Meet & Greet is a short introductory meeting between you, your dog, 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.
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.

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.
