“If you want your pup to feel like they're at a home away from home - book with Tina. She and her family (two young children who will entertain your dog endlessly) will provide a loving environment with lots of play and attention. I boarded my 7 year old pit mix for several days and he felt right at home immediately. Tina was great sharing photos and videos of Lincoln playing in the fenced in back and taking lots of walks (I think he thought twice about coming back home :)). So happy I found her.”
“This was my first time ever using Rover and I couldn’t be happier. Vanessa was great and took really good care of my dog Jax. I could tell he was very happy when he was there especially when he was playing with Oreo and Moreno!! Vanessa is a great and trustworthy person and definitely will be going thru her again 😊”
“Von (Vee) took excellent care of our dog Kona while we went on vacation for a week, we couldn’t have asked for a better sitter. From the start, she was communicative, thoughtful, and clearly cared deeply about creating a comfortable, loving environment. Throughout the stay, she sent detailed updates along with tons of photos and videos, which gave us so much peace of mind while we were away. It was obvious our dog was happy, well cared for, and getting plenty of attention and affection. You can tell she treats the dogs she watches like her own. We’re so grateful for the level of care she provided and would absolutely book with her again without hesitation. Highly recommend!”
“Ivana was wonderful with Sunny. She is very caring, patient, understanding, and has a very calm, relaxed demeanor that made us feel comfortable right away. Sunny showed some separation anxiety on the first day, and Ivana was extremely patient with her and gave her the time she needed to settle in and feel comfortable. Ivana also did a great job keeping us updated with messages and pictures throughout Sunny’s stay, which really helped put our minds at ease while we were away. It was obvious that she genuinely cared about Sunny and wanted her to feel safe and happy. We felt very comfortable leaving Sunny in her care and would definitely use Ivana again. Highly recommended!”
“Nilka is a treasure. She is extremely loving to animals, showers them with attention and walks and very communicative, sending photos and updates. Boarding with Nilka is a vacation for your pooch. Highly recommended! I will use her every time she's available.”
“Denise was amazing! Kids were great with my little one and made him feel as warm as he could be without his family. She updated me constantly throughout my time away and was very fast with response time. Will definitely bring him back!”
“We were nervous leaving Brody for the first time overnight but Wenxu and her husband reassured us he will be well taken care of. And he sure was. The adorable photos and videos started coming through and Brody was clearly having a great time and felt at home so quickly. Thank you so much for taking care of our pup! He will see you again soon!”
“Kim is an absolute angel and took amazing care of our dog Clover on short notice. She treated Clover with so much love and patience when it took awhile for our anxious girl to settle in. Kim sent lots of photos and videos and updates, and Clover had an absolutely amazing time going on adventures with Kim, exploring their huge backyard, and sunning around their house. I would recommend Kim to anyone - she is the best dog sitter I’ve found on Rover. We love Kim and will be booking again with her any time we need a sitter 🩷🥰”
“I used Janine for the first time, and she exceeded every expectation. She was professional, communicative, and genuinely caring, providing regular updates that gave me complete peace of mind while I was away. I came home to a happy, well-cared-for dog, and I would absolutely trust her again and highly recommend her to anyone looking for an exceptional dog sitter.”
“My wife and I needed a last minute dog sitter, and we found dilania here on rover. Her response was quick. When we dropped our dogs off she gave updates and took great care of our pups.”
“Cynthia was amazing with Chai! Chai felt comfortable and came back with no issues. Cynthia sent updates and pictures and answered all my messages in a timely manner. She was on time to pick up and drop off Chai. Would definitely book with Cynthia again!”
“We had a unique situation that lead us to Eric and he was incredibly accommodating. I forgot my dog's bed and he was able to provide one. He took great care of our shepherd and sent us several photos to show us our dog was doing just fine. Eric is a super nice guy to boot! Would highly recommend!”
“We had great communication with Shirley throughout the entire process. We did a meet and greet before the stay, and she asked thoughtful questions beforehand to really get to know our dog. During the stay, she shared lots of photos and videos, which we truly appreciated. She was also very flexible and accommodating when we had to change our plans due to the snowstorm. Highly recommend!”
“Christopher took amazing care of our 1 year old husky Nala. Chris sent us many pictures, videos and daily updates the entire time we were away which really helped ease my mind. He was very understanding and accommodating when we had to extend our trip 4 days due to Covid. Nala was happy and well taken care of when we returned from our trip. We will definitely be using Christopher's services again.”
“Alex was great taking care of Max. Helped out with putting us at ease with a new sitter by doing a meet first and was able to watch Max for a few extra hours while our flight back was delayed. He went above and beyond and we’d highly recommend.”
“Wendy was amazing! She constantly sent updates about Oreo and was very responsive to my inquiries. I would not hesitate to recommend her and to use her services again.”
“Ed was great! He was flexible and accommodating with our dog and our schedule. He was quick to respond to questions and a natural with our high energy dog. He even let our dog cuddle with him! We will definitely book Ed again!”

We had an absolutely amazing experience with Grainne! Teddy was immediately comfortable the moment they met, and it’s completely obvious that Grainne has a true passion for caring for dogs. He had a wonderful vacation of his own, and the photo updates she sent while we were away completely put our minds at ease—the kids loved seeing them! We will definitely book with Grainne again
Vanessa was so easy to communicate with and made me feel SO comfortable with leaving my dog with her. She understood my dogs needs, specifically that she's a master escape artist. She kept updated with texts and pictures throughout my dogs stay. I also liked that her family was involved, as it made it a very homey environment. Thank you Vanessa and Logan for taking the best care of my little Bun. I highly recommend her!

It was our first time ever leaving our dog with a sitter. We were very nervous about it, but Sonia and her family made sure to send us videos and photos of her every day and constantly kept us updated on the well being of our Ginger! They welcomed her with open arms and made her feel right at home immediately . Thank you so much for taking such great care of our baby!
This was the first time I had to board Piper for a family trip. Karina is extraordinary in communication and providing love and care to Piper. Updates with the pictures every few hours throughout the day certainly gave me peace of mind while I was on the trip. I could tell how happy and loved Piper was at Karina’s place from the pictures. I would recommend Karina to my family and friends for dog care. Would definitely be a return customer in the future!
Lisa took such amazing care of Ruffles while we were away for 3 weeks. She sent daily updates with photos and videos that really put our minds at ease while we were miles away. We will absolutely be using Lisa again for our future needs and highly recommend her for your fur babies!
Thank You So Much, Ellen, for providing such wonderful care for Ozzy while we were away! Ellen bought fruits for Ozzy when we forgot to bring extra healthy snacks! It was truly a blessing that Ozzy got to stay at Ellen's meticulously clean house with the enchanting backyard!
We couldn’t have asked for a better pet sitter! From the moment we met her, we felt completely comfortable leaving our fur baby in her care. She was reliable, attentive, and genuinely loving. We received regular updates and photos which gave us so much peace of mind while we were away. Thank you, Grace!
Erica did a great job babysitting our two dogs while we were on vacation. She communicated with us every single day, kept us updated with how they were doing, and gave us peace of mind while we were gone. I would absolutely recommend her to anyone looking for a trustworthy person sitter!
Vanessa took very good care of both our pups. It seamed that they felt right at home when we picked them up. While the pups were happy to see us, they were also very comfortable at Vanessa's. It was our first time having Vanessa take care of our pups, and we are very happy we found someone so caring. She shared great pictures and videos during our time away, it was very helpful.

There are 13,709 sitters on Rover for Pet Boarding in South Hempstead. About 88% of South Hempstead sitters can respond to requests in under 60 minutes. Whether you’re planning ahead for holidays, need last-minute care, or need same-day coverage for an urgent trip, you can message multiple sitters at once to find available care.
Once you find the right match, you can arrange a Meet & Greet to ensure they are a perfect fit for your pet’s personality before confirming.
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.
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 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.
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 .
While each sitter sets their own vaccine requirements, staying up-to-date on your dog’s vaccines is the best way to be "boarding ready". Vaccinations help create a safe environment for all pets under a sitter’s care.
Many sitters in NY ask that dogs be up to date on core vaccines like the Canine Parvovirus, Canine Distemper, Canine Adenovirus, Bordetella, and Rabies. Cats may be required to have Feline Viral Rhinotracheitis and Rabies up to date.
By discussing your pet's health history early, you’re adding a layer of confidence for you and your sitter before the booking begins.
Emergency support is available by phone or email in English 24/7. When an incident occurs, we recommend that sitters contact our Trust & Safety team immediately so that they can connect your sitter with a board-certified veterinarian or offer other resources to help.
If a sitter needs to cancel at the last minute, Rover’s reservation protection means our team will work with you to find a suitable replacement as quickly as possible.
