“We had a wonderful experience boarding our 8-year-old Greyhound (Annie) with Tyler! After reaching out, we set up a meet and greet where Tyler showed us around and made us and Annie comfortable with the environment. When we came to drop Annie off, Tyler came out to greet us and even helped carry some items inside! During the stay, Tyler sent photos to us every two hours! On top of that, Tyler took Annie on at least four to five walks a day (many more than she gets at home!) Tyler was attentive to our concerns and shared updates that were important to us. Namely, Tyler let us know when Annie finally began eating her (she's a picky east, especially when she's not at home). When we came to pick Annie up, Tyler was just as helpful as when we dropped her off. He brought all the items out to our car, which was a great help after a long and tiring weekend for us. We will DEFINITELY be reaching out to Tyler in the future!”
“Melissa was so great with our Rory! She sent frequent updates with pictures which showed how well taken care of (and happy) our dog was with her. Drop off and pick up were a breeze too. Highly, highly recommend!”
“My dog bemo had an incredible time with Athena! Her house is incredibly clean and comfortable, and my pup was able to relax there. Athena is so diligent about keeping them in their routines and knows what to do if your pup has an upset stomach or anything specific within the care instructions. She is very communicative and will send you many pictures and videos!! my dog had the best time with her :)”
“Pam & Jose are fantastic! She asks questions if she notices anything out of the ordinary & extremely loving towards our little guy. Leaving him with them allows us to travel with ease knowing our dog is in great hands.”
“Trusting someone with our Theo for the first time was a big step for us. Our trip had been planned before we welcomed him into our family, and I even considered canceling it due to the anxiety of leaving him with a sitter. I’m so glad we found Juliana and her family. The relief I felt when we received updates with photos was immense—Theo looked happy and well cared for. Juliana provided daily updates and was always quick to respond when we checked in. Thank you @Juliana!”
“Awesome boarding experience. This was my second booking and it was a pleasure. I received pictures daily and prompt responses. I look forward to re-booking, knowing my pet is happy, safe and comfortable! Awesome sitter . Great experience!”
“Denise was amazing! Kids were great with my little one and made him feel as warm as he could be without his family. She updated me constantly throughout my time away and was very fast with response time. Will definitely bring him back!”
“We are so thankful in finding Grace! Our Tucker was well cared for. And he looked as if was having a fun time as well! The pictures sent each day were very helpful in easing our anxiety of leaving him with someone new.”
“Von (Vee) took excellent care of our dog Kona while we went on vacation for a week, we couldn’t have asked for a better sitter. From the start, she was communicative, thoughtful, and clearly cared deeply about creating a comfortable, loving environment. Throughout the stay, she sent detailed updates along with tons of photos and videos, which gave us so much peace of mind while we were away. It was obvious our dog was happy, well cared for, and getting plenty of attention and affection. You can tell she treats the dogs she watches like her own. We’re so grateful for the level of care she provided and would absolutely book with her again without hesitation. Highly recommend!”
“I left my poodle-mix named Scruffy, with Megan and Brian so that I could go away with my husband for a few days to visit family. They were incredibly kind and trustworthy, and I could tell as soon as a I met them that they would be good sitters. Their own dog, Duke, is a good-natured and well behaved dog, and my dog really liked him. Their home is super clean with a cheerful and loving atmosphere. They took such good care of Scruffy, I could see when I picked him up that he had been happy and well cared for. Megan and Brian had also sent me photos of my dog throughout while I was away, which I really appreciated. As soon as you meet Megan and Brian you can see that they are genuinely good people who truly love dogs. I give my highest recommendation to them, and they will always be my first choice to sit my dog when I am traveling somewhere that I cannot bring him. 10 out of 10.”
“Minyon did a wonderful job with my corgi, he was so happy in all the pictures and videos that were sent. I'd definitely book a stay with Minyon again!”
“Clean house, secure backyard, and updated photos of my wonderful pet!! What else could I ask for? Michelle was a wonderful host who made my pet (and me) feel safe and calm. From the photos, my Mila felt right at home. To end Mila's visit, she was given a "to go" gift bag from this super host. I will definitely be using her again!”
“Wendy and her family did a great job taking care of sparkle. I picked her up yesterday and I do believe sparkle is still looking for Wendy and family. We would definitely have you sit for sparkle again thank you.”
About: I have been living with a dog (at one time with 3) since 2010. We recently said goodbye to our lab/retriever mix and are not quite yet ready to adopt a dog again but we miss having a dog around. As a pet parent I understand how stressful it can be finding reliable care and finding someone who will love your dog as much you do. It can also be tough when you find out you have to work late and will need someone to come to your rescue to let your baby out and feed them. When I’m not walking dogs, I’m taking care of my human children (who also love dogs) which means I have a somewhat flexible schedule, and I spend a lot of time outdoors. We have always found lots of fun outdoor bonding opportunities everywhere we have lived with our dog. We both love being outside and being active and I would love to share this hobby with your dog too! I am a full time mom to two school aged children. I have reliable blocks of availability for the most part. I am in and out during the day and my husband works from home a lot of the time as qell. We’re very big on walks, dog parks, fetch (our sweet pup was inexhaustible and could play fetch for hours), and my kids practically live in our yard so I’m outdoors a lot when I’m home. When caring for a pet in a client’s home, I follow the care instructions given by the pet parent.
“Aritra and his partner are dog lovers. They took absolutely the best care of my senior dog who has many special needs. They ensured to keep me updated on his daily progress as well which helped me while I was out of the country. I highly recommend booking with them.”
“Wendy was amazing! She constantly sent updates about Oreo and was very responsive to my inquiries. I would not hesitate to recommend her and to use her services again.”
“So very happy my dog was able to stay with Amy and her family. We had multiple updates throughout the day with many pictures. We felt confident our dog was in safe and loving hands. Would definitely use her services again in the future.”
“I would like to start by saying, in general I am a skeptical person who does not trust people with my dog because like others, my dog is my child. With that being said, I needed a dog sitter short notice while I went on a family vacation to Africa and prior arrangements fell through. Hesitant, I knew that a sitter would be best for me because I didn’t like the idea of boarding him at a facility. My dog weighs 4 lbs and is still a puppy, he seeks love and companionship. While scrolling through Rover I found Diane and I am happy I did. She was amazing in every aspect. She kept me posted about my dog with text, videos, and pictures several times throughout the day. She gave him sooooo much love and affection, responded fast and answered any questions I might have. She was very accommodating to me and Kobe. She treated him like he was her dog. She even sent him off with a gift. I trust her so much and will be sure to book with her over and over again. Thank you so much Diane. If you are looking a for someone who will love and provide good, safe care for your dog please book Diane.”
“If you’re looking for a home away from home for your fur baby look no further. Gloria and Jose are awesome. My Smokey had a blast meeting new friends and hanging with Gloria. Gloria has such a kind and gentle demeanor and genuinely loves dogs. There’s scheduled play time and buddy walks as well as solo time with each dog. I was able to finally enjoy a vacation knowing my fur baby was in good hands. I’ll definitely use them again. Thank you again!!!!!”
“Joey was great! His entire family are so warm and friendly and set my anxiety about dog sitting my large, spoiled, tripod, Cersei, at ease. She loved them and literally ran in the house without me which never happens with strangers. Joey sent tons of pictures and did an excellent job catering to my fur babies needs. 10 out of 10 highly recommend! ☺️”

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
It was our first time ever leaving our dog with a sitter. We were very nervous about it, but Sonia and her family made sure to send us videos and photos of her every day and constantly kept us updated on the well being of our Ginger! They welcomed her with open arms and made her feel right at home immediately . Thank you so much for taking such great care of our baby!
This was the first time I had to board Piper for a family trip. Karina is extraordinary in communication and providing love and care to Piper. Updates with the pictures every few hours throughout the day certainly gave me peace of mind while I was on the trip. I could tell how happy and loved Piper was at Karina’s place from the pictures. I would recommend Karina to my family and friends for dog care. Would definitely be a return customer in the future!
From the first meet and greet, we knew that Cynthia would take a great care of our Canela. She sent us updates regularly which made us feel at peace while on vacation. My daughters asked if we can always leave our dog with her whenever we go away. We definitely will. Thank you so much Cynthia.
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!
Tanu is great! She took good care of our 6 year old Ace for a day. She loves your pet like it’s her own. Ace is picky with his eating habits and spoiled I should say, but she was very concerned when he skipped his meal. She followed all our instructions and sent us pictures of Ace more often than we expected. He was very happy at her place. I would use her services again without any hesitation and would recommend her to anyone who is looking for an excellent sitter for their furry. Thank you so much Tanu for taking care of Ace!
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 :)
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!

There are 13,914 sitters on Rover for Pet Boarding in West Hempstead. About 88% of West Hempstead sitters can respond to requests in under 60 minutes. Whether you’re planning ahead for holidays, need last-minute care, or need same-day coverage for an urgent trip, you can message multiple sitters at once to find available care.
Once you find the right match, you can arrange a Meet & Greet to ensure they are a perfect fit for your pet’s personality before confirming.
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.

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 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.
A Meet & Greet is a short introductory meeting between you, your pet, 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.
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.
