“Drew took care of our golden retriever at our home for 10 days. He was kind and respectful. He took good care of Butterball and sent us both pictures and videos of Butterball, so we knew that he was ok and doing well. When we returned home our house as cleaned as how we left. We are glad that we found Drew. Next time, we can go on a vacation and know that we have someone we can trust to take care of Butterball. Thank you Drew!”
“Sam is an exceptional dog sitter. She walked and fed and played with Milano and treated him like family. She sent pics and videos which warmed our heart to know he was not just comfortable but so happy. I highly recommend her services.”
About: I have a degree in veterinary science and I’m currently on the road to attend veterinary school! I have lots of knowledge on pet behavior and how to properly care for them. I’ve worked as a veterinary technician for the past few years. I’ve worked in general practice, emergency animal hospitals, and even a pet hotel. I’ve cared for hundreds of patients, provided preventative care, treatments, medications, cleaned their kennels, walked dogs, and played with them. I also helped my senior dog turn around her health around by helping her lose 8 lbs! I’ve been working with animals for the past few years, I truly love what I do. I’m a veterinary technician so I’m no stranger to daily pet care for cats & dogs. In my home, I take care of both of my cats. I feed them, clean their litter boxes, clip their nails, and clean their ears.
About: With 10 years of experience, I excel in dog training for all ages, from puppies to seniors, and provide personalized care to meet each pet’s unique needs.

“Alex was all that and more with our Moka girl. We got pictures and videos of her while away, which made our time away more bearable. Alex even taught her a few new commands! Will most assuredly recommend Alex, AND will absolutely use his services again! Thanks Alex (and crew)”
About: I have taken care of dogs ever since I was young. From watching dogs for friends to venturing to dog parks with my dog. I have owned animals for most of my life. I own a caviled King Charles and a calico cat. I am passionate about animals and want any excuse I can to be around them! I am a teacher so I have off this summer! So I have tons of free time to do whatever pet care you need! I am very flexible and am frequently available on weekends! I luv win a quiet neighborhood with little to no traffic. I am located very close to many dog friendly parks that I would love to take your dog to!
About: Hi! I'm a full-time professional pet sitter with 4+ years of experience caring for 100+ animals with many special needs, and many repeat clients. I'm also a certified dog trainer, and I always try to reinforce good habits to help all the dogs I meet be a little better adjusted to their human-centered lives, especially when their humans are away. I have been petsitting full-time since early 2023 and love it. I work from home and have a flexible schedule to dote on your best friend(s)! I grew up in a home full of animals (dogs, cats, fish, hamster, guinea pig, bird!) and I've had dogs for almost my whole adult life. After my senior dog passed away in 2022, I decided that while I'm not ready to get another dog, I will seek out time with every furry creature that will acknowledge my existence! My previous dog was a rescued pittie who had some behavior issues when I got her, and I did tons of training with her, so I feel confident I can add value for your dog being better behaved than when you left. She wasn’t reliably great with all dogs so am used to navigating the challenges of dogs who can be reactive on leash. She also had a couple chronic health issues (esp with skin allergies) throughout her life and I gave her countless medications over the years, so I feel very comfortable with that. The last year or so of her life she was definitely a senior doggie with lots of issues (vestibular disease, canine cognitive decline) I dealt with from helping her up and down stairs to finding creative ways to play when she couldn’t do the things we did when she was younger, so I (unfortunately) would feel comfortable navigating the challenges of senior doggies. I also love cats too! I grew up with cats and have petsat for many, ranging from cuddle bugs to semi feral to potentially aggressive (though she doesn’t try to attack me anymore)! By now I have petsit for quite a few special needs animals, who trained me well! I regularly cared for a senior dog with diabetes, so I am comfortable giving insulin shots. I also watched a dog who was essentially in hospice care. I spent 3 weeks taking care of a cat with asthma and another month with a cat to whom I administered chemotherapy, and I have excellent testimonials from all of their humans. I love being active and going on long walks, but I’m also happy to be a couch potato if I’ve got a furry friend keeping me company. A few years ago, I spent 6 months dogsitting in Mexico for 3 dogs rescued off the street who were not housebroken or trained when I got there but were transformed by the time I left. I spent 3 years volunteering at the San Francisco SPCA as a dog adoption counselor and dog walker and have had dogs almost my whole life, including for 17 years of my previous dog. I’ve also done years of advocacy work for animals, including helping to pass laws in 4 states to protect farmed animals, and I’ve been vegan for 20+ years (but understand if your dog has a different diet than I do!). I am new to Rover, but Daiya, Spanky, Kiwanis, Laurie, Ollie, Rasta, Jerry, Rudy, Charlie, River, Louie, Giles, Druscilla, Marigold, Juniper, and many more have trained me well. I work from home and choose my own hours so am very flexible and available to work around your or your buddy’s schedule. I have sat for animals that have wildly different preferences and I’m lucky to be able to accommodate them with my schedule. I do petsitting in the pet’s home, where they are most comfortable. By profession, I am a summer camp director so am background checked and entrusted with the lives of children! I am also responsible for overseeing countless logistics, adjusting to changing circumstances on the fly, being kind and professional to everyone, think of safety first (second and third— I’m pretty obsessed with creating a backup plan for everything that we could anticipate could possibly go wrong), leaving a venue nicer than we found it, and trying to look on the bright side when things get challenging. Hopefully those will serve me well in petsitting for you too 💕
“Anna was awesome! Very communicative and my dogs (and rabbit) loved having her stay with them. I was out of the country and she made sure I was updated the whole time. I felt very comfortable and relaxed :) we will definitely be booking with Anna again!”
About: I love dogs of all shapes, sizes, and ages, but I have the most experience with caring for adolescent to senior dogs. I have experience administering medication if necessary, and adhering to special diets per veterinary instruction. Pet care is my main job! I am fully dedicated to taking care your furry friend(s) and I'm fully available to meet you beforehand to ensure we're a good team! I am more than happy to spend time with your pet, whether that means playing, feeding, or just hanging out. Your fur baby will be safe and in great hands!
About: For quite a few years I’ve taken care of dogs for family members, families all over Long Island and never disappointed! I’ve loved dogs all my life and still do. They’re honestly like family to me and I always treat my family with care, respect and love which is what a dog needs. I also have 2 dogs of my own and they is just the best thing that happened to me honestly and that’s why I’m working for this company because I’ve found something that I could work for and love doing what I do at the same time. I treat every dog like they’re mine! Every dog that has been to my house they are treated like our family, care for every one of them. I currently just graduated college so as of right now I am home full time! Sometimes I go out to run a few errands which means I put the dogs in a crate but my mother works from home 2 days out of the week so if she’s there she’ll keep them out and moving around on their own! Other than that I am very free for now! In my home I have a huge clean yard that runs through the back, side and front it is fenced so the dogs could run freely around for some daily exercise. I also have two dogs of my own that’ll definitely keep your lovely dog(s) company. They are very playful and welcoming, one is 4 years old and the other one is 3 years old, with all their shots and up to date with all doctor appointments. This is a smoke free house also. Your baby will be happy&safe here!
“Alec was amazing! Incredibly attentive and our dog Mabel absolutely loved him. Alec cared for Mabel for a little over a week and provided constant communication and pics so we knew she was being well cared for. I can not recommend Alec enough!”
About: Growing up we always had dogs and cats. I spent a lot of time with relatives who had more “exotic” pets ranging from degus to a Mali Uromastyx lizard not to mention the short-tailed opossum and various other small mammals. All this has contributed to making me an animal lover totally comfortable around them all! While still in high school I had the privilege of volunteering at a local wildlife refuge where I was responsible for the care of a wide variety of animals ranging from squirrels to owls and even foxes! During college I spent a summer working at a doggie day care center where I was responsible for both walking the dogs and supervising indoor play time. More recently I have been dog sitting both at my home as well as house sitting for families with pets and am eagerly looking forward to expanding this aspect of my work using this Rover app. Since I am currently taking online courses, I am very flexible and available. I have plenty of time to devote to your beloved pets and would be happy to help you with boarding, walks and house sitting any day of the week. I have a friendly and very mellow dog happy to share his space. Our roomy and comfortable home is located in a safe, dog friendly and quiet neighborhood with ample sidewalks inviting us for our next long walk!
“Sarah was absolutely amazing. I have never been able to go away without worrying who would be around to feed and let out my dogs let alone worrying about them being alone all night. She kept me updated on how they were doing and sent pictures. My babies absolutely love her! She did not disappoint!”
“Sydney was wonderful! Our cats absolutely adored her, she took great care of the house and sent regular updates and pictures of our fur babies! We will absolutely use her again! Thank you Sydney!”
About: I have watched and cared for dogs, cats, and other small animals for years now. I follow directions carefully and I make sure to give lots of love to all types of animals at all times! I treat all animals as if they were my own and will do anything in my power to make sure your angel babies are safe, happy and loved at all times. I send pictures of your pets when you’re away and updates. As of now, I only work part time so I’m available to watch and care for animals around my schedule easily! I always work around my schedule with my clients. I follow directions very carefully with what my client expects. I always go above and beyond especially for animals. I’m very open and always have good communication with my clients.
About: I have had cats and dogs my whole life, so I have a lot of experience caring for them and walking them. I understand how a dog communicates it's needs, like when they need to go outside for the bathroom, or when they need to get their energy out with some playtime. I can handle any sized dog on a leash (my dogs at home are 50-80 pounds!) I can take care of cats as well, and am comfortable cleaning out a litter box. I know how to approach both dogs and cats, and get them to warm up and be comfortable with me. I also have experience babysitting and house sitting. Animals make me so happy so I would love to take care of yours!! I work part-time and have a very flexible schedule, so I'm always welcome and happy to add a dog or cat sitting request into my routine. I take great care of my pets, ensure the dogs have daily walks and the cats always have a clean litter box. And of course, cuddles all the time :)

Aliyah S. was absolutely wonderful! I needed last-minute help with Lobo during a family party, and she was sweet, punctual, confident, loving, joyful, and very communicative. She came to my home, treated it with respect, and cared for Lobo beautifully. I truly couldn’t have asked for anyone better—she already feels like part of the family! Thank you, Aliyah, and thank you, Rover, for being there when Lobo and I need a little extra help.
Amazing experience Allanis was great. We treat our dog like family and Allanis made us feel very comfortable. We feel great knowing we can count on her for when we don’t want to leave our pup alone. We are looking forward to booking her in the future. She is very friendly and a good caring person.
Alex was amazing, He took care of our 9 year old dog for 10 days, stayed at our place for a few days and then he took peanut to his place when he thought she would be comfortable. We found her happy and healthy when we got back home. During the whole time Alex was sending pics and videos and letting us know how the day went, that gave us peace of mind and we were able to enjoy our time away. I highly recommend him and we’ll use his services again, that’s for sure!!

FAQs for House Sitting - Baldwin Harbor
Frequently asked questions about Rover
The average cost for House Sitting in Baldwin Harbor 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 18,054 sitters on Rover offering House Sitting across Baldwin Harbor. 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 Baldwin Harbor 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 Baldwin Harbor 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 Baldwin Harbor 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 Baldwin Harbor. On Rover:
- 88% of sitters can help with special care needs
- 93% 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.
