About: I have taken care of and trained my golden for 9 years before she recently passed. I have been dog watching the past few years and have always enjoyed having a short-term companion around! I know how scary it can be to find a safe and suitable sitter online as I used to use Rover for my golden years ago. I have always been a dog person and love interacting with new pups and breeds. I also live about 4-6 mins off of the LIE for easy drop-offs/pick-ups! I have my phone easily accessible for quick responses and update multiple times throughout the day with messages and pics of your dog! I am a dog lover who lives an active lifestyle and enjoy going on long walks and spending time outdoors. I am available for dog boarding, doggy day care, and walks depending on scheduling and early notice. I can also provide pick up and drop off services for an additional fee based on distance. I make sure that your dog always has water available and that they stay on schedule with meal times or treat intakes. I will regularly walk and play with your dog and can also take them to a nearby dog park or to meet up with other pups. I will never leave your dog unattended for more than 1-2 hours and have other members of the household to provide company as well.

“Elizabeth is a godsend. I have been trusting Elizabeth with my fur baby for years. I feel beyond lucky to have found her. Elizabeth is caring, responsible, and reliable. I always feel so guilty leaving my pet, but knowing that I have Elizabeth to care for my fur baby puts me completely at ease.”

About: I’ve been around dogs my entire life and have hands-on experience caring for dogs of all ages, breeds, sizes, and temperaments. In addition to owning and caring for my own dogs, I’ve worked in doggy daycare settings and with dog walking businesses, giving me experience managing multiple dogs safely while ensuring each one receives individual attention and care. I have raised puppies from a young age and am experienced with basic obedience training, crate training, potty training, leash manners, and reinforcing positive behaviors. I am also comfortable working with reactive, nervous, high-energy, and strong-willed dogs, always prioritizing patience, consistency, and safety. Whether your dog needs long walks, playtime, structured care, medication administration, puppy support, or simply extra love and attention while you’re away, I strive to provide a safe, reliable, and stress-free experience for both pets and their owners. I treat every dog as if they were my own and work hard to ensure they feel comfortable, happy, and well cared for. Dogs are at the center of my daily life, and because I am home full-time, I am able to provide consistent supervision, companionship, and personalized care throughout the day. Your pet won’t be left alone for extended periods and will receive the attention, exercise, structure, and affection they deserve. I have experience caring for dogs of all ages and temperaments and am happy to accommodate feeding schedules, medications, crate routines, training reinforcement, and any special requests to help your pet feel comfortable and at home. Creating a safe, comfortable, and stress-free environment is my top priority. I am home full-time, which means your pet will receive plenty of supervision, attention, and companionship throughout the day. I share my home with two friendly, well-socialized dogs (25 lbs and 40 lbs) who are both very gentle and get along well with other dogs and pets. I take the time to learn each pet’s routine, preferences, and comfort level so they can feel as relaxed as possible while you’re away. Whether your dog enjoys socializing, playing, going for walks, or simply having a quiet place to relax, I adjust my care to meet their individual needs. Safety is extremely important to me, and all pets are closely supervised. I maintain a clean, pet-friendly environment and follow any instructions provided by owners regarding feeding, medications, exercise, crate routines, or special care. I also provide regular updates and photos so you can have peace of mind knowing your pet is safe, happy, and well cared for.

About: Hello! My name is Julissa. I have so much love for all pets and animals. Growing up, i’ve always had a dog in the house, and they were always such an important member of our family. It’s been about five years since I’ve had a dog of my own. My last dog’s name was Sasha. We adopted her when she was six and had her until she was about thirteen. She was so smart, loving, and anxious when we first got her so our first few years together were spent establishing trust. Eventually we managed to off-leash train and we worked a lot on her recall so that we could enjoy longer walks and outdoor activities while ensuring that she always felt safe in her environment. At home we set her bed up in the kitchen, where we would pass our time cooking and spending a lot of quality time together. I had so many good years with my Sasha, and since she passed I have genuinely missed spending time with animals on a consistent basis. Since then, most if not all of my friends and family have entrusted me with taking care of their animals when they are busy or traveling, so I’ve had a lot of experience with many different pets and their varying needs/personalities. I work freelance as an artist. I am a musician, so I often stay at home practicing or composing. However most of my work is in the film industry, and this work ranges from smaller independent projects to network television. Although I do work on set sometimes, I try to take on as many post-production gigs as possible, so I often find myself sitting behind a desk all day. I have always made it a priority to work in a field that I am passionate about, and my decision to work with Rover has been no different. Caring for animals is not only something I am passionate about, but also a wonderful opportunity to go on walks and spend quality time with pets. I will always be very clear about any changes in my work schedule if those are to arise, but my reliability and dedication never wavers I have a fenced in yard and plenty of spaces in the house for your pet to wander and feel comfortable. I am also very trust worthy, organized, communicative, and extremely eager to work with you!

About: I have six years of hands-on pet-care experience and have cared for both dogs and cats for friends and family. I’m also a devoted dog owner to my Shih Tzu, Pebbles, whom I have raised since he was a puppy. I understand how important it is to trust the person caring for your pet, so I treat every animal with the same patience, attention, and affection I give my own. I enjoy walks, playtime, feeding, basic grooming, and keeping pets comfortable and entertained. I carefully follow each owner’s instructions and their pet’s established routine, and I’m happy to provide regular photos and updates for peace of mind. Pet care fits naturally into my routine, and I maintain a flexible schedule for walks, drop-in visits, and overnight care. I keep my Rover calendar updated and do my best to accommodate both advance and last-minute requests. I’ll always confirm that I can fully commit to your pet’s schedule before accepting a booking. Your pet’s safety, comfort, and happiness are my highest priorities. Before each booking, I like to learn about their temperament, routine, triggers, and any medical or behavioral needs. I carefully follow all feeding, walking, medication, and household instructions. I also pay close attention to secure doors, gates, leashes, and interactions with other animals. I’m happy to arrange a meet-and-greet and provide regular photos and updates throughout the booking.

“Vee and Steven have done drop-ins for our rescue Frenchie, Tank, since we both went back to work, and we don't know what we'd do without them. Tank came from a puppy mill with medical needs and separation anxiety, so we were nervous about leaving him. They've been incredible with him. Every visit comes with detailed notes and photos, so we always know how he's doing. They spotted a sore on his paw before we did and flagged it right away. They towel him off and clean his paws without being asked, and they're endlessly patient on rainy days, which he hates. They've also given us genuinely helpful suggestions as we've worked out his setup. You can tell they really care about him. Highly recommend.”

About: I have been an animal lover my entire life, and dogs are the greatest animal of all. I currently volunteer at North Shore Animal League as well as the Hope for Cleo Animal Rescue in Suffolk. Love to play and give all the pets to our furry friends! I am a newly-licensed Registered Nurse taking a much-needed vacation. My schedule is 13 days a month at work, and the rest are off days, leaving plenty of time to walk doggies and drop in for potty breaks and play time. My dogs have always lived with a fenced-in yard, but I am not currently offering housing/boarding services. I am willing to travel to help take care of your pup!

About: I've cared for both dogs and cats my whole life-- I've never lived without a pet! I also have experience as a volunteer caretaker through my local animal shelter, and a deep passion for animal welfare and happiness. I work part-time and am a part-time student, so please check my calendar for availability. I have class from 4-9pm Tuesday & Wednesday and my work schedule is typically the day shift on Monday and Thursday. Again, if there are any deviances, I will mark them on the calendar! I'm happy to let your pet set the pace-- if they're a cuddle bug, I'll give them snuggles, and if they need some time to warm up, I'll sit quietly while they get used to me. If your puppy feels the need for speed, I'll take him on a sprightly jog, but if your senior prefers to take the scenic route, we can stop and sniff every tree. I'll listen to your instructions and preferences and theirs.

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. Whether you need structured early morning exercise routines, mid-day check-ins, or reliable evening walks, I communicate clearly and stick strictly to your pet's established schedule. 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.

“Shibo was absolutely amazing! I have two male cats, and one of them I had just adopted 10 days before leaving for my trip. He was very skittish when I first got him, but he warmed up to Shibo right away. My other cat took a liking to him immediately as well—who wouldn’t! Shibo was so wonderful, giving my cats the attention they needed while I was away. In the past, I relied on neighbors and people just stopping by to feed and check on them, but my experience with Shibo has completely changed my perspective. It is worth every penny to have someone as great as him looking after your fur babies! When I returned, I could see the difference in my fluffy companions in the best way as this is very early in their introduction phase. I had peace of mind knowing they were well cared for. Shibo provided fantastic updates and beautiful photos, making it clear that my cats had a wonderful time with their new friend. I have full trust in Shibo as I also came home to find everything exactly as I expected. I highly recommend Shibo for anyone looking for a trustworthy and caring pet sitter! Especially cats.”

About: I have owned pets since I was 4 years old. I have worked in the veterinary field since I was sixteen and am starting my 2nd year of veterinary school at Long Island University. Over the years I have pet sit for a total of 25 different dogs, 15 cats, a bearded dragon, a hamster, guinea pigs, and a turtle. I am able to medicate any dogs or cats, as well as give any injections needed (ex. insulin). I also have experience at a dog daycare where I was in charge of over 40 dogs of all sizes in one large yard together. I am currently working full time at UrgentVet and work second shift so I am available in the mornings or any time on my days off. When school starts at the end of August, I will be able to work around my class schedule and make adjustments as needed for your pet. I care for pets as if they are my own. I make sure they are comfortable and keep their daily routine that they are used to, to make sure everything goes as smooth as possible.

About: CPDT-KA since 2021, Positive Reinforcement dog trainer since 2019. I’ve had rescue dogs since I was 13. Between experiences with my own rescue dogs, working and volunteering in animal shelters, being lead supervisor at a doggie daycare/boarding facility, pet photography, and several years in the pet retail industry, I’ve worked with dogs of all breeds, ages, sizes, and experiences. I’m currently working part-time, so I have plenty of flexibility to help out with your four-legged friend! While my schedule varies from week to week, I always have the time to help you and your dog. I can easily crate dogs if need be, and can give medication to even the pickiest of eaters. I have no issues with getting dogs leashed, including getting them into harnesses or head-halters.

“I recommend Dorothy who took care of my cats while I was away for five days. She came twice a day to feed them, give them fresh water and refresh their litter boxes. My cats are afraid of strangers and they hid the entire time despite her efforts to befriend them, but they’re like that with everyone. When I came home, both cats looked well and the house was clean and well cared for. Dorothy followed my instructions for feeding them and sent me detailed updates of her visits every day. I usually hate to leave my cats but I felt they were in good hands with Dorothy.”

Morgan is amazing! She is very thoughtful, kind, and professional. My cat is usually a bit cautious with strangers, but he fell in love with her at the first sight. Morgan kept me updated with daily reports and photos, and answered all my questions promptly and clearly. Communication with her is always smooth, pleasant, and assuring. I feel fortunate knowing that I have someone I can trust with my 🐈‍⬛ when cannot be with him.

FAQs for Pet Sitting - Baxter Estates

Frequently asked questions about Rover

The average cost of Pet Sitting in Baxter Estates is $30 per visit as of November 2026. Most bookings cost between $20 and $41 per visit. On Rover, sitters set their own rates based on factors such as their experience, the length of care, the number of pets, and your pet’s specific needs. As long as your booking dates and pet profiles are accurate, the price shown before you confirm is the total, including any booking fee.

As of November 2026, there are 27,246 sitters on Rover offering Pet Sitting across Baxter Estates. Enter your ZIP code to see which available sitters are closest to your home.

You and your sitter can agree on a care schedule that fits your pet’s routine and the sitter’s availability. Pet Sitting can be booked as a one-time or recurring drop-in visit. If you need overnight care or dog walks, you may also be able to book House Sitting or Dog Walking through Rover with the same sitter, provided they offer those services.

Before booking, confirm:

  • the timing, length, and frequency of visits;
  • the care instructions the sitter should follow;
  • which parts of your pet’s usual routine should be prioritized;
  • how often you would like to receive messages, photos, or other updates.

Not every sitter offers the same services, availability, or booking options. Review their profile and discuss the care you need through Rover before booking each service.

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. The Rover app allows sitters to send photos, videos, and messages about your pet, including how many pee or poop breaks occurred. 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 personalized, in-home nature of pet care through Rover can mean more individual attention for your pet.

Many pet parents provide a spare key or arrange a lockbox. You can also exchange keys during the Meet & Greet and show your walker how to use digital fobs or personalized codes. It helps to arrange access to your home, from spare keys to concierge introductions, before pet care begins.

If you live in an apartment or condo, don’t forget to discuss details like buzzer access, codes, or elevator etiquette. These details can help a pet sitter feel more comfortable going in and out of your building.

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.

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.

Yes, you can find sitters who have experience with handling special pet needs in Baxter Estates. On Rover:

  • 83% of sitters can help with special care needs
  • 87% can help with giving oral medications or injections
  • 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.

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 Meet & Greet.

sitters on Rover set their own cancellation policy, 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.
