“Samantha was great! We had an unique petcare request and she was exceptionally accommodating. She sent us updates and photos and our little guy was well taken care of. We highly recommend her to other Rover-subs.”
“John was responsible and reliable. We felt so comfortable leaving our pups and our home in his care. He was super responsive and came to meet the dogs before the care began. Thank you John!”
About: HIGHLY EXPERIENCED WITH DOGS THAT HAVE BEHAVIORAL ISSUES!! Schedule is a bit tight with clients, but i’ll always try to make room :) I have grown up with, and helped care for, dogs my whole life. For the past 3 years I have been training my dog, currently with assistance from a trainer. He was fearful-reactive and is now an amazing service dog in training. I have been a volunteer at the world’s largest no-kill shelter for 3 years now. I have handled dogs of all ages, sizes, breeds, and temperaments. I have worked with blind and senior dogs. I have run puppy play groups, as well as puppy mill, senior, and teen play groups. some behavioral challenges in dogs that I have worked with include: fearful; reactive; food and/or object possessive; stranger danger; separation anxiety; dog vs dog aggression; strong leadership; mouthy; and more i’m sure i’m forgetting. I have taken several extensive dog training classes to improve my skill and knowledge. I was the first 16 year old to reach one of the most advanced dog levels. I am very well-versed in understanding dog body language. I have dealt with sick dogs as well as dogs with skin conditions. I have helped get the neighbors dog to eat, as well as go potty and play, and dog walked for several clients. I also have experience with cats from the shelter as i have taken advanced feline behavior classes. I am able to understand cat body language fairly well. I have worked with cats as well as kittens, and cat sat several times. I can care for, and clean up after, dogs and/or cats. I will always respect your pets boundaries. I am currently an undergrad studying animal psychology and medicine! I will genuinely treat your fur babies as my own. My dedication and passion truly is to ALL animals. 🩷 I regularly update my calendar to show my availability, though i’m pretty flexible. Make sure to check there! Can’t wait to hear from you :) I will make sure your pet has fresh food and water, as well as making sure there is nothing clearly dangerous left out that the pet could hurt themselves with or eat. I will ensure everything is as it was when I came, as well as closing and locking any doors I used. I will dispose of animal waste as instructed. On walks I have a steady balance and strong leash hold to ensure the dog stays with me. I may carry treats with me for minor training/intervention (if allowed and if the dog pulls or something like that). If your dog is scared of certain things or creatures I will take precautions to avoid anything triggering to the dog. Lastly, I will certainly make sure the pet(s) feel loved, happy, and relaxed.
About: Experience with over 7 dogs from puppy to adulthood and numerous cats. I have trained 5 dogs. Over the years I have cared for many cats. Feeding, walking, home care, and giving medicine. I am currently in school with a long background of caring for pets. This position is rewarding for me as I enjoy caring for animals. I personally take care of my two dogs. I take them on multiple walks a day. Reenforcing positive feedback training and playtime continues to provide a continued well mannered dog and happy life.
“Bianca housesat for my two dogs, and she was an absolute gem. Friendly, communicative, and my dogs loved her. She followed all of the instructions that I left, sent great pictures, and kept me updated all along the way. 10/10.”
“This woman is a god send! If you are thinking of hiring her, stop thinking and hire her! I am very anxious about leaving my pup with anyone else but me, and I am also a control freak. Before our scheduled time Keoma jumped in a video call with me so we could meet and chat a bit. Right away I knew I could trust her to take care of Mr. Jacobs. She answered all my questions and she is so knowledgeable! She knows a lot about dogs behavior, you can sense her passion about animals when she speaks about them. Mr. Jacobs is not used to being around other dogs but Keoma’s pup, Pepita, it’s the cutest and sweetest little thing and Mr. Jacobs befriended her within the first hour under their care! She took care of him 2 days in a row. The first day he was scared at the beginning, of course, he’s only 19 months old and is not used to other people, we don’t go out much. But soon enough he was relaxed and having fun. On the second day, when he realized we were going back to Keoma and Pepita he was so happy!! Our boy loves them very much. Keoma is officially the one and only to take care o MJ from now on! Thank you Keoma and Pepita. See you soon!! ♥️”
“We loved Anna! She kept us up to date throughout the stay on how our animals were doing and took such great extra care of our dog with epilepsy. We will definitely be using her again!!!”
About: Some would say i’m a pet whisperer because of my influence on dogs. I love to care for other dogs as if they were my own. I had two of my fur babies pass the rainbow bridge both living up to about 12 years. Mia is my 4 year old Shih tzu Bichon mix and despite her being a handful I wouldn’t have it any other way. I work full time so i usually take my dog for an hour or so walk after work and on the weekends. I try my best to squeeze in a walk in the morning but I’m more of a night owl. I have a maintained fenced yard for the fur babies to run around should they need! With plenty of toys to go around as well.
About: Hi, I'm John! I’m an animal lover with years of experience caring for dogs, cats, and other pets. I understand that leaving your pet with someone is a big decision, so my goal is to make them feel safe, comfortable, and cared for while you're away. I treat every pet as an individual. Some dogs want a long walk and lots of playtime, while others are happier with a slower walk, some attention, and a comfortable place to relax. I take the time to learn your pet's routine, personality, likes, dislikes, and special needs before you leave. What you can expect from me: Plenty of attention, playtime, and exercise Walks tailored to your dog's age and energy level Feeding and medication according to your instructions Regular photo and message updates Careful attention to your pet's normal routine A reliable and responsible sitter who treats your home and pet with respect I also understand how important communication is to pet parents. I provide updates and photos so you don't have to wonder how your pet is doing while you're away. I work full-time in NYC, but I have availability for walks and visits during weekday lunch hours, and I have significantly more flexibility on weekends. I'm happy to discuss your pet's schedule and see how I can accommodate their needs. Most importantly, I want your pet to have a positive experience while you're away. My goal is for you to come home knowing your pet was safe, happy, and well cared for. I look forward to meeting you and your pet! I work full-time in NYC, but I’m available for walks and visits during the afternoon lunch hour on most weekdays. Weekends offer much more flexibility for walks, playtime, and longer visits. I’m happy to work with your schedule and your pet’s routine to make sure they get the care and attention they need. Your pet’s safety and comfort are my top priorities. I follow your instructions and your pet’s normal routine, whether that means a walk, playtime, feeding, potty breaks, or simply spending time with them. I’m also respectful of your home and make sure your pet is safe and comfortable throughout my visit. I’ll keep you updated with photos and messages so you know how your pet is doing.
About: I’ve taken care of my brother‘s dogs for 10 years. Feeding, playing, walking and grooming. Also, I’ve been taking care of my cat for three years. I have plenty of time to take care of your dogs and cats. I am available all days at any time. Thank you so much. My cat and I live in an apartment. I am available to take care of your pet/s in your home and and flexible with the schedule.
About: I’ve grown up with dogs and cats since I was a child, and I can’t imagine life without them! Over the years I’ve cared for pets of all sizes and personalities — Skye terriers, Scottish terriers, a Bernese mountain dog, and now my family’s two rescues: Choco (mixed breed) and Chip (giant schnauzer). I helped raise Choco from day one after her rescue during COVID, so I have plenty of experience with training, routine care, and giving pets a safe space to thrive. Along with my own pets, I’ve cared for neighbors’, friends’, and family members’ dogs and cats — walking, feeding, bathing, and even cooking home meals for them when needed. I also grew up with three cats (Munchie, Mickey, and Ago) so I’m comfortable providing gentle and attentive care to cats as well as dogs. Special skills: I have experience with puppies, senior dogs, rescues, and pets with different temperaments. I’m patient, consistent, and comfortable with a variety of routines and training needs. I’m a 24 years old and currently a Clinical Psychology PhD student at Adelphi University, so I just have classes Monday-Wednesday and the rest of the week is pretty open. I make sure pets get plenty of playtime, potty breaks, and walks. I’m available throughout the week for drop-ins, daycare at your home, and walks. I just ask for at least one day’s notice before confirming bookings. I currently do not board or do day care at my own house. I can provide potty breaks every 3-5 hours, and dogs are welcome to cuddle with me on the couch or even in bed if that’s what they’re used to at home. I believe pets should feel comfortable, loved, and secure so I adapt to their individual needs, whether that means structured walks, active play, or quiet snuggle time.
About: Hi, I’m Gianna! I'm a passionate second year vet student with hands-on experience in emergency vet med and general practice. I’ve worked in vet clinics and have two amazing rescue dogs of my own! I’m here to provide loving, knowledgeable, and reliable care for your furry friends. Currently I am in school Monday-Friday so my schedule is day-dependent; however, I am more than happy to work with you to go over dates/times you are looking for services to best accommodate you and your pet(s)! Your pet’s safety and comfort are my top priorities! With my experience in both emergency and general veterinary settings, I take every precaution to ensure your pet is safe, happy, and stress-free. I’ll care for them as if they were my own, offering plenty of love, attention, and patience while following the same safety measures used by vet staff. Whether it’s administering medications, monitoring their well-being, or simply making sure they feel comfortable in their own home, you can trust that your pet is in experienced, caring hands.

About: I have over 7 years of active, hands-on experience raising, training, and caring for dogs of all sizes, including large and powerful breeds like Rottweilers. Since 2018, I have been fully responsible for managing daily exercise routines, structured neighborhood walks, and feeding schedules.Beyond dogs, I am highly comfortable caring for cats, and other household animals. I am very attentive to animal body language, making sure your pets stay safe, comfortable, and appropriately active while you are away. Rain or snow, I stick strictly to your pet's schedule. Pet care fits smoothly into my weekly routine because I am an early bird who loves getting out of the house early to stay active. I prefer being highly proactive about my availability, meaning I only accept bookings on days when I am completely free and can dedicate my full attention to your pet.

When caring for pets in a client's home, safety is my absolute priority. I am highly attentive to animal body language and know how to maintain structural control when walking larger, powerful dogs on a leash. I strictly respect your household environment, adhere to your exact safety rules, and keep outdoor routines secure by avoiding any unpredictable interactions with strange dogs or crowded spaces.
“Brigette has been a dog sitter we have been able to rely on continuously while we are at work. We are in the process of training our 8 month old puppy whom is potty training, crate training and is slowly learning to get past his anxiety of being home alone. She has proven to be patient and attentive to Ziggy’s needs as well as in constant communication with Ziggy updates and any questions she may have. We have rebooked her multiple times thus far and plan to continue rebooking her!”

Beyond belly rubs and feeding schedules, a house sitter’s presence may provide an additional layer of security for your home. However, you will need to arrange overnight stays and other household tasks with your sitter when reaching out to them. Not all sitters offer the same services. Common household tasks you can negotiate include:
- Mail & deliveries: Collecting letters and packages so they don't pile up.
- Plant care: Keeping your indoor or outdoor garden hydrated.
- Trash & recycling: Taking trash cans to the curb on scheduled pickup days.
- Home security: Sitters can stay overnight to keep your home occupied.
The best way to align on expectations is during your free Meet & Greet. Use this time to provide a "home cheat sheet" that includes your preferred Williston Park walking routes, the location of your favorite pet store, and any specific quirks about your home’s security or appliances.
It’s helpful to think of house sitting as a "home base" service. Most sitters in Williston Park maintain their normal daily routines, like running errands or heading to the office, meaning your pet should be comfortable being alone for a few hours at a time. If your pet needs a little extra company, here is how to find the perfect match:
- Look for "WFH" sitters: Many sitters mention "Work from Home" on their profile to indicate they’ll be present for the majority of the day.
- Update your pet’s profile: Write down how long your pet can comfortably be left alone. This helps sitters quickly determine if their schedule aligns with your needs.
- Communicate 24/7 needs: Standard house sitting usually doesn't include constant supervision. If your pet requires round-the-clock care, be sure to discuss this upfront.
Tip: Use the Meet & Greet to confirm a sitter's typical "away" windows. Transparency ensures your pet stays happy and your sitter can plan their day effectively!
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 Williston Park 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!
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.
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 .
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 pet to the closest veterinarian. Through our Trust & Safety support team, sitters can ask for diagnostic advice from a qualified veterinary professional if your pet 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.
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.
