“Azariah did a great job checking in on my dogs while I was away on vacation. I have 3 Yorkies and Azariah provided 2 drop-ins (early morning and evening) per day in which she let the dogs out to use the bathroom in the backyard and feed them. She provide text updates a d pictures. I would certainly book with her again!”
“Grace was wonderful and she got along great with our cats. She was reliable, kept us updated with photos and messages, and our cats looked relaxed and happy when we got home. Highly recommend!”
“Kathryn arrived on time and stayed with Lale for the entire duration of the visit. She has carefully prepared the food, and lovingly took care of Lale. I recommend Kathryn and I am looking forward to booking her again. Many thanks!”
“Minyon us SUPER accommodating. Even with my hectic schedule and several emergencies at once, she understood and gave me grace through every step of the process. When my pups met her, they instantly fell in love with her. She sent videos and pictures every visit and made sure to take them on nice long walks... which my pups love. I would ABSOLUTELY book with Minyon again!”
About: 🐾 Hi, I’m Jane. I’ve been caring for dogs in their own homes for 10 years and I can honestly say, I love what I do. There’s something really special about a dog who barely notices their owner left because they’re too busy having a good time. I enjoy leaving clients to wonder if I even stayed — everything is just as they left it, with one exception: a happier pet. I specialize in walks, drop-in visits, and overnight house sitting, all in the comfort of your pet’s own home. I learn their routine, respect their quirks, and treat your space the way I’d want someone to treat mine. You’ll hear from me regularly with updates, photos, and videos of your dear girl or sweet boi. If you like the mundane, you’ll hear from us — me and your dog (or cat, or gerbil, or boa python — we’re all inclusive here). If you’d love to see the reasons strangers fall for your sweet girlie or darling boi, you’ll definitely hear from me while your loved one is in my care. Once you reach out, I’ll schedule a complimentary meet and greet to make sure me and your special four-legged loved one are a good match. Spoiler: we usually are. 🐾 🐾 Providing care for your loved one is built into my week, not mushed into it. Available weekdays and weekends for walks, drop-ins, and overnight stays. 🐾 🐾 This is where the complimentary meet and greet pays off for you. Because we’ve spoken ahead of time, it’s even easier for me to keep your pet on their usual routine, respect your home, and stay in consistent communication so you always know your dog is doing well. There are legends abound of me leaving my client’s place a little cleaner than I found it too. 🐾
“One of our cats takes medication. Brianna was so efficient with her. On time, great updates, and just really pleasant to work with. Highly recommend, and will book again.”
“Anna M was amazing. I had such peace of mind and will be using her again and again She is kind and thoughtful and amazing. Anna even offered to go and purchase a specific flavor of cat food when I ran out of a flavor one of my cats liked. She is great !!!”

“Lisa went above and beyond with my senior boys! They loved her from the minute they met her and she was so caring and gentle with them. She left me detailed notes and photos from each visit and made me feel so comfortable leaving them for a few days. She is so kind and positive and truly has a passion for animals. I would absolutely recommend her to anyone needing extra love and care for their animals while they are away!! Thank you so much Lisa, you’re the best!!”
About: I am an animal lover. I try to make your furbabies feel at home by providing my exceptional services. I have had pets my entire life. I love and I am comfortable with all breeds and sizes. Im responsible and a trust worthy candidate to care for your furbaby like it was my own. I am currently working part time, so I have plenty of time for taking care of your furbaby. Whether it be early morning or late afternoon I will be there to accommodate your needs. I am flexible as well, because I realize that not all trips are planned trips. I have a fully fenced in yard. Big enough for your furbaby to run around and explore. Your furbaby will be supervised while getting fresh air in the yard. So that means no escapes.
“it was my first time using an outside Cat Sitter other than family members so I was quite nervous. Carly turned out to be wonderful. She was reliable, super friendly, and my baby took to her immediately I would highly recommend her as I plan on using her for any of my upcoming trips.”
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.
About: I have taken care of dogs ever since I was young. From watching dogs for friends to venturing to dog parks with my dog. I have owned animals for most of my life. I own a caviled King Charles and a calico cat. I am passionate about animals and want any excuse I can to be around them! I am a teacher so I have off this summer! So I have tons of free time to do whatever pet care you need! I am very flexible and am frequently available on weekends! I luv win a quiet neighborhood with little to no traffic. I am located very close to many dog friendly parks that I would love to take your dog to!
About: I have taken care of dogs for 15 years. From puppies to seniors, Dachshunds to Pitties. I’ve owned my pit for 15 years and I adore him with my life. I have dog sat for a whole week even commuting to and from work to make sure their pup was safe and healthy. I have dealt with all the beautiful and not beautiful moments with my furry friends and I will always make sure to take care of them and make them feel at home with me. If possible please give me a week advance to make sure I can give your pup my undivided attention and give me enough time to plan effectively I make sure to continue the schedules my clients supply to me. I had a dog with a very specific diet, so I will be sure your dog gets all their meds and proper food so they stay in great health! I also am active so long walk and play time are no stranger to me! If your dog is more mellow I will match their energy and pace so they can feel comfortable and secure. I am Dog CPR certified and Dog behavior certified, so I am able to work around all personalities! My dog of 16 years was also reactive towards many obstacles, so please don’t hesitate if you have a reactive dog as we can work through it together!
About: I have over 8 years of hands-on experience caring for my own dogs (Bibbles and Kona) and have recently welcomed dogs of all ages, sizes, and personalities into my home through Rover. I have experience caring for energetic puppies, senior dogs, anxious pets, and dogs with special needs, including blind dogs. I understand that every dog is different and take the time to learn their routines, comfort levels, and personalities to help them feel safe and relaxed. Safety is always my top priority. I carefully supervise introductions, monitor behavior, and provide a structured environment with plenty of potty breaks, playtime, rest, and attention. Whether your dog loves to play, cuddle, explore the yard, or simply relax, I will make sure they receive personalized care and plenty of love while you're away. I also provide regular updates and photos so you can feel confident that your pup is happy, comfortable, and well cared for. Pet care is a natural part of my daily routine. I spend most of my time at home, which allows me to provide frequent potty breaks, playtime, supervision, and companionship throughout the day. I keep a flexible schedule so I can accommodate each pet's individual needs and routine. Your pet's safety and comfort are my top priorities. I take the time to learn each dog's routine, personality, and any special needs before their stay. Dogs are always supervised, introduced carefully, and provided with a clean, comfortable environment. I have a secure fenced yard for outdoor time, and I can separate dogs when needed to ensure everyone remains safe and stress-free. I also provide regular updates and photos so owners can feel confident while they're away.
About: Over the course of my time I've taken care of and lived with goldfish, parakeets, a big old mutt, several great cats...and chickens. Considering that I grew up in Manhattan, I'd say that if that doesn't account for exeptional qualifications to love and care for our furry (or scaly, or feathered) friends, I'm not sure what could! Our kids are off exploring the world as newly minted adults leaving my wife and I with two finicky cats. With a little extra time on my hands I thought it would be a good idea to help other pet owners out to work all day or preferably, gone on a much needed vacation but looking for someone to check in on their furry loved ones. I freelance from home as a designer, so I typically have time at both ends of the day to extend a helping hand to anyone who needs a little extra care for their pet. We have 2 cats at home of whom I am the primary caretaker of, so adding a visit to a neighbor in need would be easy. I will follow all instructions and care indications you give for your pet(s) to the letter and provide pictures of completion if you request it.
About: I’ve taken care of dogs of all ages and with different needs since I was a teen. I’ve had two of my own :) I’m very active so love doing out door activities with them! I currently work remotely, so I have plenty of time to play with your furbaby’s! I am available to drop in for walks if you’re local, dog-sit, and board in my home. With a lot of love and as if they were my own. I have a yard but mainly love going on walks or hikes (depending on the dog). I work from home so I have a very flexible schedule and I don’t ever leave a pet alone more than 3 hrs at most I care for them as I do my own. My husband and I are usually home and if possible (depending on the furbaby) we always include the pups in any outdoor errand/activity

Cynthia was reliable and flexible, accommodating all of our scheduling changes and taking care of Odessa when we asked her to. She was patient with Odessa, who warmed up to her slowly but consistently. I will book Cynthia again when I need someone to care for Odessa.
I've been fortunate enough to have Jonathan drop-in on my 2 young Boston Terriers while I'm at work. I first met him in advance so he could meet my dogs and I. We met in person so that he could meet my dogs and of provide any instructions and he was very professional. From that point forward, he's communicated very well and I know my 2 dogs have been in great hands with him. It's very clear he loves animals and I'm happy he spends time with my 2 girls when I have to go on-site to work. I highly recommend Jonathan to other pet parents.
Elizabeth has done a number of drop-in visits for my 2 dogs and she does a great job in checking in on them, giving them some play time and of course assuring they are getting some time to be outside. She communicates very well and from the pictures I know my dogs are having a lot of fun during the pop-in visits. I highly recommend her for taking care of your pets!
Patricia is such a wonderful sitter. She is so supportive while you're away from your cat (or other pets!) My cat was having urine issues, and she let me know right away so I could get him checked out asap. Thank you as always, Patricia!! Don't hesitate to book with her!
Nicole was an absolute angel with Lale during a very stressful time for me. From day one, I could see how kind, caring, and genuinely loving she is with animals. Honestly, the best review comes from Lale herself — she would practically hop with excitement whenever she saw Nicole! Watching her little tail wag and seeing how happy she was made my heart so happy. Lale felt completely safe, loved, and spoiled in the best possible way. Knowing Nicole was with her gave me such comfort and peace of mind. She cared for Lale with so much affection and attention, as if she were her own. I’m beyond grateful for everything Nicole did for my sweet girl. Anyone would be lucky to have Nicole care for their pet — and their pet will probably fall in love with her just as much as Lale did! ❣️🐾💕
Caitlyn was fantastic! It was clear the cats felt comfortable and at home with her dropping in to take care of them. She came for a meet and greet ahead of time and went above and beyond with photos during each visit. With care and professionalism Caitlyn shows I would highly recommend her to anyone looking for someone to watch their fur-babies.

The average cost of Pet Sitting in Valley Stream is $33 per visit as of October 2026. Most bookings cost between $20 and $37 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 26,562 sitters on Rover offering Pet Sitting across Valley Stream. 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.
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.
Many pet parents provide a spare key or arrange a lockbox. You can also exchange keys during the Meet & Greet and show your walker how to use digital fobs or personalized codes. It helps to arrange access to your home, from spare keys to concierge introductions, before pet care begins.
If you live in an apartment or condo, don’t forget to discuss details like buzzer access, codes, or elevator etiquette. These details can help a pet sitter feel more comfortable going in and out of your building.
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 .
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 , which provides up to $25,000 in eligible veterinary care reimbursement.
Yes, you can find sitters who have experience with handling special pet needs in Valley Stream. On Rover:
- 83% of sitters can help with special care needs
- 87% 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.
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 .
sitters on Rover set their own , 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.
