“This young man is is a life saver and I am truly great full. He has sat for me before but this last weekend was my son’s wedding out of state. My dog started having seizures out of nowhere and not only did he make us feel assured but took detailed notes and videos which were extremely helpful to the vet. He is reliable and I trust him now more than ever. Doggie is fine and we will be monitoring her. 1000 thank yous!”
“Wonderful experience with Edward! Sent us videos and pictures throughout the time our dog was in boarding. Great setup, response time, and care for our 1yr old playful golden retriever.”
“Our puppy have stayed with Judy a couple of times, both overnight and day care. We are very happy with the service. Judy is very nice, punctual and accommodating. Last time, our puppy was taking medication, and Judy was very patient and diligent with giving her the medicine. Most importantly, our puppy loves her, and we feel very comfortable leaving her with Judy when we are away.”
“They were amazing. Pictures every day and always responded very quickly. My baby came home happy. We were away for 5 days and they took care of him like he was their own. Knowing we have someone reliable and trustworthy was very important to us! Thank you so much for!!”
“We had an amazing experience with our dog sitter, Samantha! She took such great care of our dog, Nugget, while we were away. She kept us updated with regular messages and the cutest pictures, which really put our minds at ease. It was clear that Nugget was having a great time—he went on plenty of walks and got to play outside often, which he absolutely loves. We could tell he was happy, well cared for, and in very good hands. Thank you so much for treating Nugget like family! We highly recommend her and would definitely book again.”
“Grace was amazing! As soon as we reached out about booking a week of dog sitting for our Jackie, Grace was responsive and helpful. We went for a couple of pre-trip visits with Jackie so she could get acclimated to Grace and her home, and everything went wonderfully. When the day finally came to drop Jackie off for the week, Jackie went in willingly and happily! While we were away, Grace sent us daily update and pics of Jackie, which made us feel much better! Overall, Grace was a great dog sitter, we would use her again, and we would definitely recommend her! Thanks Grace!”
“I am so grateful for finding the most amazing person who took care so well of my dog She sent pictures and I was able to see how my dog was doing I really appreciate that I had issues with my flight so I couldn’t pick up my dog the time I supposed to However she kindly understood my situation also let my dog stay with her one more night Thank you !!! The Best pet sitter ever!💕💜”

“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!”
“Alex was amazing with our 3 year old lab Ruby! He kept us in the loop with updates and pics, which gave us such peace of mind. Thanks to his care and attention, we enjoyed a long weekend without worry. As a professional trainer, Alex also helped work on some bad habits like counter surfing — huge plus! She returned happy and calm! Wonderful experience and would highly recommend!”
“I felt very comfortable leaving my dog with Shirley for the weekend. He has separation anxiety and she was accommodating towards his needs to ensure he had a stress free stay with her. I appreciate how she was flexible with my drop off and pick up times. Would definitely hire her again!”

About: What sets me apart is that I treat every pet like they’re my own. I’m patient, attentive, reliable, and comfortable adapting to each pet’s personality and routine. I have experience caring for young, energetic pets and understand the importance of consistency, exercise, and positive reinforcement. I’m also comfortable with pets that need extra attention or a calmer environment. My priority is making sure your pet feels safe, comfortable, and cared for while you’re away. I work from home most days, so pet sitting fits perfectly into my schedule. I’m available throughout the day to provide consistent attention, care, walks, and supervision. I have a large fenced yard. I also have plenty of toys for them. I do have small friendly dogs that love to play. I provide a clean, calm, and secure environment where pets feel comfortable, supervised, and cared for, with fresh water, safe spaces, and plenty of attention.
“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 😊”
“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 🩷🥰”
“First time using her and I would again. From the videos she sent, Sal had a great time staying with her and socializing with other dogs. I would highly recommend her”
“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.”
“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.”
The median cost per night for pet boarding in South Hempstead is $60

We couldn't have asked for a better experience leaving Polo, our Bernedoodle, with Vanessa while we were away. From the moment we dropped him off, it was clear he was in loving, attentive hands. Vanessa sent us regular updates and plenty of pictures, which gave us real peace of mind and let us actually relax and enjoy our trip. Polo is a big, energetic puppy, and she handled him with patience and genuine affection, he came home happy, well cared for, and clearly had a great time. We're so grateful to have found her and will absolutely be booking with Vanessa again. Highly recommend!
Farah was beyond amazing with our cat! We needed a last minute booking and she was super accommodating and kind. She went above and beyond to make sure our cat was comfortable, and she sent tons of videos and updates. I truly appreciate her and her care of our cat! I can’t wait to book with Farah 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
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!
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!

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 .
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.
