About: Ever since I was a kid. I was relied on by friends, family and neighbors to care for their dogs. As a dog owner, I know how important your pet is and I would treat them as well as I treat my own. Whether I come to provide walks or have the dog stay with us, my home will be their home. Currently, over the weekends, I have lots of flexibility and time to care for your dog. During the summer, I have more availability for more long term care. Lots of attention, walks, playtime with our dog Rosie and myself. I have two kids (10 and 13) and my wife in the house who will also shower your dog with love and attention. I will follow whatever routine has worked for you as the owner to ensure an easy transition. I have a fenced in yard in the back where our dog goes out all the time. It is a safe place on a safe block in a safe neighborhood. Our doors remain locked throughout the day but also cannot be opened by dogs if unlocked. I have cameras around the house and an alarm system for the house.

Currently off work for summer vacation. But usually I work 7:15am-5pm with a break between 8:30am & 10:30am. The. Next break 1:15 pm-3pm M,T,W 10:45am-1:15pm Thursday-Friday Off weekends I make sure to give the pets a comfortable experience. Making sure to follow the pet parents instructions. Trying to create a little anxiety as possible.
“Fiona was an amazing sitter. She would take Charlie out on multiple potty breaks and make sure he got some good play time in over the two days I was away from home. Fiona kept in contact with me and provided an update everytime she arrived and left. 5 stars, wish there was an option to add extra credit. Thank you!”
“Karen is great! You can tell she’s a dog person right away :) we were immediately comfortable leaving Daisy with her & she loved her immediately. Thank you for taking good care of our pup, Karen!”
“Ozzy was an amazing sitter for my four cats! My girlfriend and I felt at ease while away visiting family knowing that he was checking in on our cats, and even giving my diabetic cat his meds. All the cats loved Ozzy and I would highly recommend booking with him!”
About: For my whole life I’ve had a family dog, who I’ve helped to care for. Until her recent passing I walked her, played with, her, fed her, picked up after her, and everything else one does with a dog. I cared for her both when she was younger and more recently when she was aged and deaf, and have learned how to deal with and match the energy of dog’s at every stage of their lives. I’m currently a college student, so I have quite a bit of free time when I am not occupied in classes during the late morning to afternoon. Currently, as it is the summer, I am free to work anytime necessary. When I am craving for your dog in your home I will make sure to respect the order of your home and treat it the way you want it to be treated, even if I’m not explicitly told what that is. I will be receptive to your pets moods and needs, and cognizant of all the possible problems that could occur.
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 3 young children who absolutely adore dogs, and love taking responsibility in taking care of them when we are pet sitting. 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!
About: I've always loved dogs since I was little but never actually had one. On a drive up to my dad's job, is when my birthday wishes had finally come true. My dad and I had rescued my dog, Ebby, from a busy nearby highway and since that day my love for dogs has grown even more. All I've ever wanted to do was make them as happy as they made me. I've owned my dog for nearly 10 years now and our bond is still strong, even after my four years spent up at college. I look forward to walking a bunch of dogs using this Rover app and I am also willing to take them on little runs if it's okay with the owners!
About: I have experience caring for dogs of different sizes, ages, and personalities, and I’m comfortable following specific routines, feeding schedules, and care instructions. I know how important it is to have peace of mind, so I’ll keep you updated with photos and messages during every visit or walk. I’m dependable, patient, and attentive to each dog’s unique needs. Whether your furry friend loves long walks, playing fetch, or simply taking their time to sniff every tree, I’ll make sure they have a great experience. As a teacher, I am currently off for the summer and have a very flexible schedule. I am available all days of the week, including weekdays and weekends, for walks, drop-ins, and pet sitting. During the school year, my availability is more limited, but I will always update my calendar in advance so pet parents can plan accordingly. I care for pets in my clients’ homes by following their established routines to help animals feel comfortable and secure in their familiar environment. I make sure to provide fresh food and water, regular walks or playtime, litter box or potty breaks, and plenty of attention and affection based on each pet’s personality and needs. I also keep the home tidy, respect all instructions, and send updates with photos so you always know how your pet is doing while you’re away.
About: I am a Pre vet major in college with a minor in wildlife ecology. I also have experience as a vet intern. I am also currently working at a wildlife rehab 3-4 days a week so some days I am only available for early morning walks or late night walks. My whole life I have grown up around dogs. My mom was always brining different starts into the house until they found homes. When my family or friends would go away on vacation I would take care of their pets for them. I would go over to their house and feed and play with them until they got tired. I even would take them on walks or bring them to the dog park if they asked me to I would take their dog to the dog park to play. Ever since I have been in 6th grade I have been volunteering at an animal rescue every Saturday. While I am there I help raise donations and work with the dogs that have behavioral issues. I work part time at two jobs so my hours are pretty flexible. I mostly work in the mornings and free the rest of the day I have a huge fenced in backyard with plenty of space to run around. I also have 2 dogs and 3 cats to keep ur fur baby company. I am able to crate ur dog if needed.
“Hannah was such a great pal to our cat Jeffrey while we were away! She is very communicative and responsible, and we’ll definitely be contacting her for pet sitting next time we go out of town.”
About: I am a animal lover who has cared for many different animals over my lifetime. From a young age I have owned dogs, cats, birds, and many more! I enjoy being around animals and have taken care of pets both in home and while owners are away! I am a happy soul and would love to meet and care for your pet! I work full time in NYC in and can do walks in the afternoon lunch hour most weekdays. Weekends are always free for more walk and play time. Willing to adjust and accommodate with your schedule! Always willing to do the best care for your pet. If it’s walks outside, playtime inside and everything else, it would be a thrill for me to meet and care for your pet.
“Katharine was great! I'm still nervous leaving our new puppy and she was very communicative and made sure to send lots of pictures so I knew how they were doing! We'll definitely be asking her to stay with Murphy and Maisie again!!”
“Lauren was terrific. Reliable and punctual. Excellent communication. Really connected with our dog during on her first visit. A pleasure to deal with. Will definitely use her again.”
About: I have pet sat and walked for many family friends over the years, have 7 years of experience as a Veterinary Assistant in both general practice and emergency since 2019, graduated with a BS in Pre-Veterinary medicine from the University of Massachusetts Amherst in 2023, and am American Red Cross Certified in Cat and Dog First Aid.

I absolutely love dog sitting and getting to meet and take care of everyone’s babies like my own! :) Pet care is currently my part-time work for this summer!

I will always make sure your pet is safe, whether it be in the outside or in the home (locking doors, checking the yard, etc).

Dog parents share their Rover experiences - Uniondale
Stephanie was truly incredible. I had a last-minute, very emotional change of circumstances: we had to put my dog Pugs to sleep the day before I left for a trip, and my other dog, Little, was suddenly alone for the first time after 15 years with his brother. I was worried about how confused and unsettled Little would be, but Stephanie stepped in immediately and adapted so naturally. She took amazing care of Little: feeding him, keeping him comfortable, and giving him the attention and reassurance he needed while I was away. She also kept me informed throughout the weekend, which gave me real peace of mind. When I came home, Little was in great spirits and full of energy, and my place was immaculate - honestly even better than when I left it. Stephanie went above and beyond in every way, and I’m genuinely grateful for the care she showed. I would recommend Stephanie to anyone without hesitation. She exceeded my expectations, and I absolutely plan to book her again.
Ella did such a great job with my pups, she made sure they both got a lot of love while she was with them and both of my dogs had a fun time with her! I really appreciated how thoughtful and caring she was, and had such peace of mind that my dogs were being well taken care of! She sent a detailed summary of how the visit went and took such cute pictures!!
Wei did an excellent job with the chins and their space. She’s very attentive to details (HUGE plus), compassionate, friendly, and a self starter. I loved how she knew without needing oversight what would need taken care of. Really excited and hoping we will be able to work with Wei for a long time moving forward! Looking forward to next week! Definitely give her a try !!!! Will update my review as time goes on …

A pet sitter can provide focused care sessions, help your pet’s routine stay on track, or keep you updated on your pet’s mood and energy levels.
Whether you’re at the office for the day or traveling for a few nights, a pet sitter can offer potty breaks during a Uniondale stroll, cleaning the litter box, or making sure your pet has on-time food or water refills. For daytime services like walking and drop-ins, you can also request sitters to send a report card with every visit.
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 Uniondale 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 .

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.
To find sitters in Uniondale with recurring or weekly availability, select "Repeat Weekly" and which days you’d like them to care for your pet.

Sitters on Rover set their own cancellation policy, which you can find on their profile under their calendar availability.
Cancelling before a booking begins and before the sitter's cutoff time qualifies you for a full refund. Same-day cancellations for walks, day care, and drop-ins follow the full refund policy. Otherwise, for dog boarding and house sitting, you will receive a 50% refund for the first seven days of the booking and a 100% refund for the remaining days when you cancel the same day a booking should begin.
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.
