About: I have been one of the primary caretakers for my golden retriever for the past 8 years. I have many years of experience pet sitting for friends and family for dogs of all sizes. I love to go on walks and would love for your dog to join me! I am currently working part-time and would be available to care for your pet from 7:30 am-3 pm during weekdays. Weekend availability will vary week to week! I have a fenced in yard and a golden retriever of my own. I value the importance of long walks and playing with your pup!
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!
“Lily was absolutely amazing! She took care of my two cats, Dice and Button, while I was away on vacation and truly went above and beyond. From the very first visit, she was communicative, reliable, and incredibly caring. She made sure both cats were well-fed, safe, and happy, and even spent extra time giving them attention and affection. Dice is usually shy, but under Lily’s care, he quickly warmed up and started following her around, which says a lot about how comfortable she made them feel. She also kept me updated every day with sweet notes and photos, which gave me great peace of mind while I was away. I came back to happy, well-cared-for cats and a tidy home. I couldn’t have asked for anything more. Thank you, Lily! I would absolutely book with her again and highly recommend her to anyone looking for a kind, responsible, and dedicated pet sitter.”
About: My name is Gabbi and I’m located in the Bellmore Merrick area, but I’m willing to drive around up to 10 miles. I'm a passionate animal lover with years of experience caring for pets of all kinds. I care for dogs and cats, and have owned Miniature Pinschers my whole life and a cat I adopted August of 2025. I provide attentive, personalized care to ensure your animals are happy and safe while you're away. I offer dog walking, playtime, feeding, and socialization. I’ve volunteered at cat and dog rescues and adoption events in Levittown for two summers as well. Your pet will be in loving hands! I’m working part time, so I have lots of time to care for your pets. I’m primarily available after 2pm, but my schedule is adjustable so definitely contact me. I’m big on open communication with owners. I can pet sit at your home, but I cannot board as I live with my family at home and have another dog. I go on walks very often throughout the day as well.
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.
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.
About: Attentiveness, love and kindness. I give them the care they deserve not just need. I have had animals 25 years. I need animals as much as they need us. I am available to give injections and medications as our current cat has diabetes. I work from home so I am available the majority of the day besides errands. I also have cared for a senior yellow lab for the last several years before he went over the rainbow bridge. I’ve had cats my whole adult life while Most of our friends and family have dogs. I really enjoy watching my sisters poodle and cavalier mix. I have also care for my mother in laws dog who was over 100 pounds. Growing up with a shitzue im very familiar with small and large breeds with many different temperaments . I work from home so I am easily available and love the company . I love walking so long walks and potty breaks are easily do able . We will be with the pet most the day besides errands. I would never accept a job If i wasn't home the majority of the day for that animal. I have a fenced in yard, an alarm system and are aware of dogs signals and needs to be able to build trust with them to make sure they are comfortable. With having two children as well my first priority is always safety. I would also be able to send pictures of your pet while you are away so you can see their daily activity as well. If facetime is a request I can accommodate that as well.

Blake was fantastic! She showed up right on time, sent great photos and updates, and it was clear our pups were in wonderful hands. You can tell she genuinely loves animals. We came home to a happy, relaxed dogs. Highly recommend Blake and will absolutely book her again
I was traveling to Long Island and needed a sitter to attend a wedding because I could not leave my dogs unattended in the hotel room. Karen was amazing! I booked her several months out. She was incredibly responsive and responsible. She initiated check ins as we got closer to the date. She really put my mind at ease that my dogs were in good hands. I could not say enough good things about her. My only complaint is I wish she lived closer to me!
My family and I are so grateful to have connected with Lauren! Having just moved and not knowing anybody in the area to look after our dogs, I was nervous about finding someone to help us out while we were away for a long weekend at the beach. My dogs took to Lauren immediately! She is extremely nice, down to Earth, responsive and reliable. I felt extremely comfortable with her in our home. She sent photos and updates of the pups during her visits as well. Highly recommend and am excited to book her again in the near future!
Katharine was awesome! She came to the rescue when our original plan fell through for someone to drop in and care for our dog while we were out of town for the day. Each drop-in, she was right on time, left thorough notes, and sent us photos. We sincerely appreciated her friendly demeanor and willingness to take on our last-minute request; we're so glad it worked out and we wouldn't hesitate to contact her again. Thank you Katharine!

Susan was everything I had hoped for and just the person I needed to care for my fur granddog! She was friendly, attentive, punctual, trustworthy and he loved his long walks and playtime with her! Susan truly cared for him the way I do and it gave me great peace of mind to know that. I would highly recommend her! Thank you, Susan!
Lauren is the absolute best! She is always on time, so helpful and accommodating, and always does what we need! I can't thank her enough for her hep with our puppy Charlie. He gets great exercise, is well fed and played with, and I am so happy we chose her!
Elaina has been taking care of Max and Coco 4 days a week for several months now and they both just adore her! I have found Elaina to be loving and attentive with both, even getting Max to take his medicine even though he is a pretty stubborn little man! Elaina has been great about communicating with me after each visit and has been super flexible in terms of our schedule. Simply put, you will not find a better friend and care giver for your pet! Thanks Elaina!!

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

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.
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.
