“Zoe was great taking care of Mabel for our trip. She met with us before, was very communicative and Mabel was happy and the house was perfect when we got home. Would be happy to work with her anytime again”
About: Neighbors and family have relied on me to care for their pets, including elderly and special needs animals, as well as exotic reptiles and birds, many times. I’m a part-time student in eco-toxicology at this time studying online so I’m around full time for pet care, feel free to reach out for care any day of the week! I live with my large family, and my roommates have two dogs and two cats, all of which are friendly. We have two spare crates for visitors so let me know if your dog is crate trained! Please keep in mind that my partner joins me for house sitting bookings. We have two cats together and he is also certified by Rover :)
About: Owned dogs since I was a child, Chesapeake Bay Retriever, Irish Red & White Setter and a Chihuahua. Experienced with golden doodles and labs. Currently getting my pilots Licence’s and enjoy reading books I’m currently time building for my commercial Licence whenever the weather is good around 5 hours a day when possible. Usually busy at night around 5-8ish otherwise free. I have a tall fenced in yard where I play with my dog or walk him around my neighborhood. Otherwise he sits with me while I study or read.
“Beth was very caring to Buddy and stayed in touch with me daily on how he was doing. She took good care of my house as well and communicated quickly. I’d book her services again :)”
“Andrea is the best!!! She takes great care of my dog, Cookie, and I feel so comfortable when I'm away knowing he is in good care. She is so loving. I would use her again and again and would highly recommend her.”
“Ginia is truly a gift. She takes amazing care of our 3 dogs when we are gone. I never have to worry and can rest easy knowing how much care, compassion and love she puts into caring for them.”
“Lissette was so kind! She sent us regular updates. We booked her on relatively short notice and she was so sweet and even came over before to meet the pups. I would use her again and highly recommend her!”
“Ava is an absolute gem of a care taker for both my cat and my home. I recommend her wholeheartedly. She is trustworthy and sent me many photos, even when communication channels were limited as my husband and I were traveling internationally. She richly deserves all five stars in my rating.”
About: I have grown up around both dogs and cats-our family pets included Rottweilers, German Shepards, and smaller mixed dogs as well. We had both cats and dogs that I took care of. I worked at the humane society for four years caring for and socializing pets there. I currently have two dogs (one with anxiety issues) and two cats. I have pet sat for friends and families, including puppies. I currently work remote so my schedule during the week is flexible. I am happy to spend time with pets and don’t mind long walks out in the cold. I can stay with your pet when needed and will care for them as specified. I can be flexible on timing and care needs for your pets.
“Ava was amazing with teddy & louie. She kept in contact with me the entire time, sent pics of them all cuddling. When I arrived home the house was the same way I left it nice and clean. My boys are a hand full and she did amazing with them. We are definitely using Ava S again. Teddy & Louie looked well taken care of from walks and treats and love. Thanks again Ava”
“I had such a wonderful experience!! I have two cats and a senior dog who requires a little extra care and attention, and I felt completely comfortable knowing they were in such good hands with Anna. She was reliable, attentive, and so sweet with all three of our pets. Anna sent me so many pics and she kept us updated while we were away, which gave us such peace of mind! I would absolutely recommend her and and will definitely use her again! ❤️🐾”
“Samantha took amazing care of my three dogs while we were away. My dog had a medical issue that needed attention and she took great care of him. He required daily cleaning of his infection and administering of both oral and topical medications. He isn’t always easy to take care of because he is sometimes fearful and anxious. She still made sure he was taken care of successfully. I really appreciate her going the extra mile to make sure my babies were given lots of love and attention. Thank you!”
About: Hi! I’m Cassandra, a caring, reliable, and experienced dog lover who has grown up caring for dogs and understands how much love, patience, and attention they need. I currently have a 6-year-old Bichon Shih Tzu who is a big part of my family, so I’m very comfortable with daily walks, playtime, cuddles, and keeping a pup happy and comfortable. I’ll treat your dog with the same care and affection I give my own, while making sure every walk and sit is safe, fun, and stress-free! 🐾 if you are happy with my services, tips are greatly appreciated. I work part time in Huntington. I work Tuesday through Friday in office and Thursday’s remote, 10-4 Weekends are free, and Mondays I am off. I am very personable with animals and their parents. I take a lot of time and care into my work with pets and people, and their homes too.
“Jordan is an absolute dream! She took care of my dog this past weekend and kept me updated with the cutest videos and pics all day. She spoke to my dog so kindly and was so gentle in the videos. I know my dog so well and could tell that she adores Jordan and felt very comfortable with her. I tend to get a lot of anxiety leaving my dog with other people and I can confidently say I never had any anxiety this week. Jordan was so attentive and amazing for keeping me in the loop. She also stayed at my home and I’m pretty sure she left it cleaner than when she arrived! I cannot wait to work with Jordan again.”
“Jess took care of my 11 year-old puppy ☺️ for eight nights. She took excellent care of him, sent just the right amount of photos to put me at ease. The house was left very clean.”
“We are so happy we met Nicole to watch our 2 pups and cat while we were away. She handled our 2 big pups like a pro - they are not the easiest and are a bit on guard when meeting new people but she quickly put them at ease. She sent daily updates and followed our instructions perfectly. I am very happy that we have Nicole to trust with our animals!”
“Kelsey was FANTASTIC, FABULOUS and very loving to our Pom, Shorty. Kelsey was on time and prepared to take care of our dog. Kudos to Kelsey. We have no reservations whatsoever in recommending Kelsey for any sitting job she may want to take, any time. Truly a find for Rover ! Rover, make sure no one steals her from you !”
“Stephanie is was great with Abby. She kept me updated at all times. Abby really enjoyed her company and I could not be more happy. I recommend her she is amazing and even fed my pet goldfish!”
About: Hello, my name is Maddy. I have cared for dogs since I was a little girl, over 15 years. I have always had 3 dogs, varying in age and size, that I have been responsible for. I am comfortable walking, feeding, playing and cuddling with small, medium and large dogs. I currently have 3 Golden Retrievers; Mille, Richard and Blue. I have experience housesitting and pet sitting for multiple dogs. I am comfortable with caring for multiple dogs at the same time (the more the merrier!!). I work fully remote and have a very flexible schedule. I would love to help out others who don't get to work from home with their pets. I am available to feed, walk, check-in, play and more with any pups. If there are any specific instructions or things you are looking for, I am here to help! I work full-time remote with a very flexible schedule. I can adjust my full-time work around my personal schedule. I am able to work in different places as long as I have my laptop and phone with me. I love to spend time outdoors and am comfortable with walking multiple dogs at the same time. I am a quick learner and will adjust to pet and pet owners preferences. I will keep your pup(s) safe, just like I do for my three dogs.
“Julia was wonderful with Benny! She was clear, very communicative and went above and beyond to make sure he felt safe and comfortable with her — he’s a very shy dog but warmed up to her almost instantly. Would absolutely recommend to anyone for any service and would have her watch Benny again in a heartbeat.”

Pet parents share their Rover experiences - Asharoken
Zoe did a great job taking care of Taylor. She stayed overnight at the house and visiting multiple times during the day. She walked her in the neighborhood daily as requested following a recent knee surgery. Everything was left in perfect condition, and Taylor seemed very happy.
Right from the meet and great Stephanie was extremely attentive taking notes regarding our pups schedule, meal plan, and quirks. She was upfront and let us know things she had going on that she would need to step out for a little bit for during her stay and we were kept well informed throughout our time away with updates and some pictures. I would absolutely recommend her to anyone looking for a pet sitter!

FAQs for House Sitting - Asharoken
Frequently asked questions about Rover
The average cost for House Sitting in Asharoken on Rover is $66.6 per night (as of September 2026). However, all sitters set their own rates based on experience, location, and availability.
Rover makes budgeting the cost of House Sitting easy. As long as your dates and pet profiles are correct, the price you see before you book is the same price you pay for House Sitting. For more information on service fees, click here .
As of September 2026, there are 7,520 sitters on Rover offering House Sitting across Asharoken. Enter your ZIP code to see which available sitters are closest to your home.
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 Asharoken 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 Asharoken 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 Asharoken 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 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 .
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 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.
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.
Yes, you can find sitters who have experience with handling special pet needs in Asharoken. On Rover:
- 88% of sitters can help with special care needs
- 92% can help with giving oral medications or injections
- 97% 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.
