“Michelle is fantastic! She checked in with me multiple times each day and sent pictures and videos whenever possible. She was responsive when I sent messages and questions. My pups were well taken care of.”

“Tanu and her family are amazing! I have an older dog and she treated him so very kindly. I received photos and updates as to how his stay was going. I would highly recommend Tanu and without hesitation use her again.”

“Grace was phenomenal and we will definitely be using her service again! From our initial meet and greet to Zoli's actual stay, she was wonderful and professional. We felt so safe and confidant leaving our pup with her while on a short trip to Pennsylvania. She was great with communication and you can automatically tell upon meeting her that she has such a love for dogs! HIGHLY RECOMMEND her and her awesome space for pups getaways!”

About: I’ve been around dogs my entire life! I grew up with two Goldendoodles and rescued my own dog, Woori, two years ago. Since then, my husband and I worked closely with professional trainers and gained experience with training, behavior management, and maintaining consistent routines. We have also fostered a rescue dog, which was such a rewarding experience! We absolutely love animals and would love another dog someday, but we're not quite ready for that long-term commitment. In the meantime, we love opening our home to foster dogs and pups who need a loving temporary home while their families are away! We work from home full-time and have a flexible schedule, and we are total homebodies, so your pup will get plenty of attention, supervision, and cuddles! We live in a house in a quiet, dog-friendly neighborhood just 5 minutes from Eisenhower Park, where we regularly take Woori for long walks. As an admittedly overprotective pet parent myself, I know how important it is to find someone trustworthy. I promise to spoil your pup like my own and keep you updated with lots of photos, videos, and daily report cards! ❤️ Pet care is already a huge part of our everyday routine! I'm a lawyer who works entirely from home with a relatively flexible and manageable schedule, and my husband also works from home! We're both total homebodies, so we're almost always around to give pets plenty of attention, companionship, and care throughout the day. Our mornings typically start with a nice long walk with our dog, Woori, followed by breakfast and some downtime while we work. Throughout the day, we take regular potty breaks, enjoy shorter walks, and squeeze in playtime or enrichment activities like puzzle toys and snuffle mats. In the evenings, we usually go on another longer walk, sometimes at nearby Eisenhower Park, before winding down for dinner and relaxation. On weekends, we love taking Woori on little adventures, whether that's hiking, exploring parks, or visiting dog-friendly stores like HomeGoods. But we're equally happy spending a cozy day at home with the pets! Since we already structure our daily lives around caring for Woori and our cat, Ari, welcoming another furry friend into our routine feels very natural. Having both of us working from home also means there's usually someone available to keep the pets company and give them extra love and attention. We're happy to adjust our routine to accommodate your pet's individual needs, whether they love an active day full of adventures or prefer a relaxing day filled with naps, cuddles, and lounging around the house! ❤️ Your pet's safety, comfort, and happiness are always my top priorities! I treat every pet in my care like they're part of my own family and want their stay to feel like a home away from home. I work from home and have a relatively flexible and manageable schedule, so I'm able to give pets plenty of supervision, attention, potty breaks, and cuddles throughout the day. I'm naturally very organized, meticulous, and attentive to detail, especially when it comes to caring for animals! I live in a quiet, safe neighborhood with lots of green space nearby, perfect for peaceful walks and outdoor adventures. I always keep dogs securely leashed during walks and pay close attention to their surroundings. I have a dog named Woori and a cat named Ari, so I understand how important proper introductions and respecting each animal's boundaries are. I prefer to arrange a meet-and-greet beforehand to make sure everyone is comfortable. I also recognize that every pet has a different personality, so I'm happy to accommodate dogs who prefer a calmer environment, separate spaces, or extra downtime. I always supervise interactions and keep pets separated during meals or whenever necessary. Most importantly, I completely understand how nerve-racking it can be to leave your pet in someone else's care because I'm an extremely overprotective pet parent myself! I know how much trust it takes to leave your furry family member with someone new, and I don't take that responsibility lightly. Fair warning: I will absolutely inundate you with adorable photos and videos throughout the day! You'll also receive a little daily report card at the end of each day with updates on meals, potty breaks, walks, activities, and how your pet is doing overall. I know these are exactly the kinds of updates I'd want when I'm away from my own pets! My goal is for you to enjoy your time away without ever having to wonder whether your pet is happy, safe, and getting all the love and attention they deserve. ❤️
“Nachay was amazing, this is my first time using Rover and she made everything smooth and sailing. She even let my pup stay longer than she was supposed to bc my flight kept getting delayed. Definitely will be booking Nachay again. Thank you so much.”

“I can’t recommend Samantha enough! From the moment we met, I knew my dog was in amazing hands. She treated my pup like family — giving them tons of love, attention, and care. While I was away, she kept me updated with regular messages and adorable photos, which gave me so much peace of mind. My dog came home happy, calm, and clearly well taken care of. It’s such a relief knowing there’s someone I can fully trust with my fur baby. I’ll absolutely be booking with Samantha again. Thank you for everything!”

“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!”


“Narly and her family were great sitters for our two pups while we went on vacation for 10 days. they have a lovely house with a fenced in yard they got to enjoy, a great dog named Princess to play with, and plenty of people to keep them company. they were having stomach issues while at her house and Narly was very understanding and caring. we were so glad to know they were in such great hands. thank you, Narly!”
“Yessenia was absolutely lovely to work with. She answered any questions we had as first time Rover customers in order to put us at ease. We could see from the first interaction that she would be kind to our dog, as she immediately got down and gave her hand to the dog to sniff and then pet her. She has a daughter with a sweet and gentle personality, who kindly shared her own blanket with the dog to make the dog feel more comfortable. Yessenia‘s husband was friendly and pleasant as well. Yessenia sent us multiple pictures and updates over the weekend while she watched the dog. Though we brought some supplies, she was also prepared with her own if necessary. Furthermore, since Yesenia had already experienced life with a senior dog, she offered us some suggestions that might help with our pup. Our Rusty had never been cared for by a stranger up to this point. It was hard for us to leave her. That said, we would not only highly recommend Yessenia and her family to other dog owners, we will definitely reach out to Yessenia again if we need someone to board the dog. She even included a lovely note about the experience. Her thoughts were genuine, and it was nice for us to be reminded about the beauty of our dog whom we see every day.”

“I just wanted to take a moment to express my gratitude for the wonderful care Anna provided for Ramsey while we were away. Her daily photos and updates truly reassured us that she was happy and comfortable in your care. It was clear to see how much she enjoyed spending time with you! Your kindness and attention to detail made all the difference, and I can't thank you enough for being such a fantastic sitter. We highly recommend you to anyone looking for someone to care for their pets! Thank you once again for everything!”

“From the start Wendy was so easy to work with for scheduling and quick to respond. She sent photos and check-ins throughout, which were really nice. Would definitely book again and recommend boarding with Wendy.”

“Jonisha and her family always take such wonderful care of our Nene and Scrappy. We drop them off with complete peace of mind, knowing they’ll be well looked after—and maybe a little spoiled! They always come back happy, and we have no doubt they’ve been given the best care. Jonisha has become our go-to sitter, and we can’t imagine leaving our dogs with anyone else.”

“I just love the way she cared for my pet Dusty, it was his first time with her and she managed it. In the Beginning he was a little difficult at the end he improved greatly I could see the changes in him at home. I would highly recommend her to anyone. I would consider her again.”

“Kortney was amazing! Russo had so much fun with her. She texted me everyday with a little update and pictures of our dog. Really grateful and will definitely book again?”


About: Hi, I’m Alexka 🐾 Attentiveness, safety, and genuine care are what you want for your animals, and luckily, that’s exactly what I bring and more! I’m comfortable with dogs and cats of all sizes, ages, and personalities, whether that means keeping up with an energetic baby or providing extra patience for senior pets. Veterinary medicine has taught me to be very observant of animal behavior and body language, allowing me to recognize and adjust to their needs to make them feel comfortable at their own pace. My priority is to ensure your pet feels safe, cared for, and loved. I don’t just watch and care for pets; I treat them as my own! 🤍🐾 Animals have been part of my life for as long as I can remember. I grew up with dogs and cats, and I currently work as a veterinary assistant, so caring for pets isn’t just something I love — it’s something I’m trained to do. I only work three days a week, regardless there is always someone home! I have a safe, fully fenced yard where pets can play and explore. I walk my dogs twice a day, but I’m happy to adjust if your pet needs more exercise. In my home, animals are fed three times a day, and I make sure every meal, walk, and playtime is attentive and consistent. Your pet’s routine and comfort are always my top priority.

Really, I’m an all-around animal lover! I know how important it is to feel confident that your pet is in good hands, and I’d treat your furry friend with the same love and care I’d give my own. I’d love the chance to meet you and the fuzziest member of your family! Since I work remotely, pet care fits perfectly into my daily routine! My flexible schedule allows me to take breaks throughout the day for walks, check-ins, and playtime with your pets. I love getting outside and staying active, so spending time with animals is a natural and fulfilling part of my day. Whether it’s an early morning walk, a midday break, or a late night check-in, I’m available and excited to help. When caring for pets in my home or my client’s home, my priority is making sure they feel safe, comfortable, and loved. In My Home: I create a warm and welcoming environment with plenty of cozy spaces to rest, safe areas to play, and lots of attention and affection.

I trust Tanu and her family 100% with my sweet 50lb Sheepadoodle Latke. She sent me videos and photos regularly twice a day; the transition for drop off and pick up was seamless. I felt confident the whole time I was away that my pup was well cared for and attended to. I highly recommend her.

Highly Recommend Britany! Britany was absolutely wonderful with Tommy! Knowing he was in such good hands gave me so much peace of mind, especially while I was busy hosting my daughter’s Sweet 16. I was able to enjoy and focus on such a special and important night without having to worry about Tommy because I knew he was being well taken care of. Britany was reliable, caring, and made the entire experience stress-free. It means so much to have someone you can trust with your fur baby, and I’m so grateful for her help. I would absolutely recommend Britany to anyone looking for a dependable and caring dog sitter. Thank you, Britany, for taking such great care of Tommy and sending so many great pictures and videos.

I absolutely love Joanna, I highly recommend her! She is very experienced and knowledgeable when it comes to caring for senior dogs, especially those who require extra attention and medical care. She took wonderful care of my fur baby Oreo,including cleaning his wound and administering his medication as needed. She was gentle, patient, attentive, and compassionate throughout his care. It gave me great peace of mind knowing my dog was in such capable and loving hands. It’s clear how much she genuinely love animals. I truly appreciate everything she did for Oreo and would highly recommend her, especially to anyone with a senior dog or a pet requiring special care. I wouldn’t hesitate to trust her with Oreo again! ❤️🐾

Excellent experience, from first communication on rover, to the meet and greet, drop off and pick up. Sonia and her son Kenny sent updates and pics everyday. My dog Levi gets a little nervous with new people but they were so patient and loving, he settled in so quickly. When we picked him up, he was so calm, almost seemed like he wanted to stay longer, hahaa. So glad we found them on Rover, we will definitely be using them in the future and recommending to friends and family. Do not hesitate to book with them.

We had a wonderful experience with Cynthia as our dog sitter! She was caring, responsible, and attentive to our dog’s needs. She kept us updated throughout the stay, which gave us great peace of mind, and our dog was happy, comfortable, and well cared for. We truly appreciated her kindness and reliability and would absolutely recommend Cynthia to anyone looking for a trustworthy and loving dog sitter!

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

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!

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!

Kara was an absolute joy to work with. From the initial meet-and-greet to the thoughtful pictures and updates she sent throughout the stay, she made the entire experience stress-free and reassuring. Knowing my pet was safe and well cared for gave me complete peace of mind. She was definitely the right choice, and I will certainly book with her again!
Once again, I was worry and stress free leaving Lucas in the care of Caitlyn and family. They are so kind and caring with Lucas. He is particular and has specific needs which they are able to accommodate. I received updates, pics and stayed informed of his care during our time away. Thank you so much for taking excellent care of my furbaby :)

The personalized, in-home nature of pet care through Rover can mean more individual attention for your pet.
Every sitter on Rover has their own routine. Depending on the arrangements you agree on before the stay, a sitter can follow your dog’s regular feeding schedule, provide a comfortable place to sleep, offer companionship, and support their usual exercise and play needs.
94% of sitters in West Hempstead can provide daily exercise during dog boarding stays. Depending on the sitter, their home environment, and your dog’s needs, this may include walks, outdoor play, indoor enrichment activities, or supervised play with compatible dogs. These activities are not automatically included with every booking, so ask the sitter what a typical day looks like.
During the Meet & Greet, discuss your dog’s usual exercise and play routine, whether they can safely interact with other dogs, and any activities or restrictions the sitter should follow. You can also ask the sitter to send photo and message updates during the stay so you can see how your dog is spending their time.
Preparing for drop-off is easy when you have a checklist! To help your dog settle into their West Hempstead home-away-from-home, we recommend packing:
- Health and safety essentials such as their ID tags, vaccination records, medication, and emergency vet or secondary caregiver contacts.
- Food and gear such as harnesses, collars, food (portioned by day), and an item that smells like you.
- Special instructions such as a list of training cues, medical administration needs, or favorite hang-out spots in your West Hempstead.
Tip: You can upload your dog’s routine and medical info directly onto their profile so your sitter always has the details at their fingertips.
Yes, you can find sitters who have experience with handling special pet needs in West Hempstead. On Rover:
- 85% of sitters can help with special care needs

- 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.
You and your West Hempstead sitter can schedule drop-off and pick-up in a way that works best for the both of you—and your dog. Most sitters offer flexible times for drop-off and pick-up but the easiest way to confirm those times will be through in-app messaging. Confirm your arrival time the day of pick-up and drop-off can also help keep the process smooth and organized.
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.
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.
By discussing your pet's health history early, you’re adding a layer of confidence for you and your sitter before the booking begins.
If a health concern arises during a stay, your sitter is instructed to contact you and our Trust & Safety team immediately and, if needed, take your dog to the closest veterinarian. Through our Trust & Safety support team, sitters can ask for diagnostic advice from a qualified veterinary professional if your dog is showing signs of possible illness.
For extra peace of mind, you can also prepare an authorization form for your regular vet. An authorization form outlines your preferred method of care and allows your sitter to bring your pet into their regular clinic.
Every qualified booking made on Rover is backed by the Rover Guarantee, which includes reimbursement for eligible emergency vet care.
Adding another pup to the pack? Most sitters and walkers offer a reduced rate for additional dogs. You’ll find these exact rates listed under the "Services" tab on any sitter's profile. Since every dog is unique, final pricing may vary depending on the level of care required.
