“Jess took care of my pup Leia while I was away for the day at a baseball game and sent me update photos each visit and some comments on how the visit went. Leia had a lot of fun. Will definitely use Jess again!”
“Hannah was fantastic! She came three times a day, was always reliable and trustworthy, and showed up even in bad weather. We have a large dog (over 100 lbs) and felt completely at ease knowing he was in great hands. We’ve used Hannah multiple times and never worry when we’re away. Highly recommend!”
“This was our first time using Rover. Our sitter Felicia was wonderful!! We received so many wonderful pictures and updates for every visit. I know my Girl Olive was in great hands!!!!”
About: I have cared for and kept safe pets of all species, all ages, and all medical requirements for many years. The more humans I meet the more I love animals ! 😉 I’m retired so my schedule is extremely flexible for drop-ins, playing, giving medications on schedule, feeding and spending some time with pets so they’re not lonely. When I go to a clients home I try to make it a welcome visit and hope that their dog is happy to see me. I let them out or walk them, whichever one I’ve been instructed to do, to go potty then its play time & hang out time.
“Mona is extremely professional and has been very easy to work with. She treats our puppy Mia as if she was her own. I always feel better after I get Mona’s updates in the morning on how our little girl is doing. I will continue to use Mona for daily drop-ins and I would refer her to anyone I know.”
About: I have taken care of a variety of dog breeds and pets for years. I have been entrusted by neighbors, family, and friends to care for their pets specific needs and wants. No request is too big or small to provide for the joy returned to me whether it's my own fur babies or yours. As an educator I have alot felixability. I am currently free during the weekdays and weekends to board and care for your pet if needed. I have a fenced in backyard with my two dogs, Skittles and Pop-tart to keep your fur-baby company. I can easily crate your pet if you prefer in
About: What sets me apart is my professional experience as a dog trainer specializing in behavior modification and working with challenging dogs, including reactive, fearful, and aggressive cases. I understand canine body language, behavior, and communication, allowing me to safely manage situations that many sitters may not be comfortable handling. I provide a structured, calm environment with clear boundaries, enrichment, and individualized care tailored to each dog’s needs. Whether caring for puppies, adult dogs, or seniors, my focus is on building confidence, reinforcing good behavior, and ensuring every dog feels safe, secure, and understood while in my care. Pet care is my full-time career. As a professional dog trainer and pet sitter, caring for dogs is a daily part of my routine. I work closely with both pets and their owners to provide training, exercise, structure, and companionship. My goal is to help create happier, well-balanced dogs while making life easier and more enjoyable for their families. I prioritize safety, structure, and trust in every interaction. I follow each pet’s routine, provide appropriate exercise and enrichment, maintain a secure environment, and communicate regularly with owners. As a professional dog trainer and sitter, I focus on creating a positive experience that keeps pets happy, safe, and well cared for.

“Trevor took excellent care of our lab Daisy while we were away. He kept us informed and sent pictures of everything they did. It made us feel at ease knowing she was in good hands.”
“Nadine is the best! This is our second time having her look after our two senior dachshunds (come January, they’ll be 15 and 17) and our 22 year old conure. All three were remembered her from her previous stint caring for them, and they were thrilled to see Nadine again. In addition to normal duties, Nadine went above and beyond by cleaning up and replacing pee pads used by my old man and by lifting him up and down the back stoop every time he went out. I will absolutely use Nadine again.”

“Marinelle was simply amazing! This was my first experience using a pet sitter, so I didn't know what to expect. She took such good care of my Sophia. Sophia was meeting her at the door! I don't think she even missed her mommy!”

About: I’ve owned a dog for decades… as I am recently retired… and will eventually get a new pup after some years to travel… giving luv to someone else’s pup seems like a great way to fulfill my love of dogs. It will always be me personally taking care of dogs. Recently retired from education… weekdays and weekends are free and school vacations. Have own dogs, my whole life but at present my wife and I don’t and are waiting as we fulfill our travel goals. So this seems like a perfect way to get my dog fixed… I absolutely adore all types of dogs. We live in a three bedroom home with a large fenced back yard. Pets can certainly cuddle on the couch unless owner doesn’t want :)
About: We’ve been loving dog parents for over 25 years, and caring for animals has always been a huge part of our lives. After losing our beloved boy earlier this year, we’ve found ourselves missing the daily joy, snuggles, and companionship that come with having a pet. We’d love to share that love with your furry family member—giving them all the attention, affection, and care they deserve. Think of us as your pet’s extra set of grandparents: all the love, cuddles, and spoiling, with a calm, caring presence you can trust. I’m currently working but am winding down a 30+ year career as an educator. I’m available weekends and over the summer right now. My husband is semi-retired and is available Tuesdays and Thursdays all day. One or both of us are also available after 3 pm Mondays, Wednesdays, and Fridays. We have a fenced yard and sadly no pets for your baby to play with. We have no children in the house either so your dog will be the only guest and will receive our undivided attention. We will only sit for 1 family at a time to ensure you the highest quality care.
The median cost per visit for dog sitting in Bay Shore is $25
Dog parents share their Rover experiences - Bay Shore
Shelby was amazing! She was patient, gave extra details about the visit, thorough, and made sure my Roxie girl was safe every step of the way. She communicated with me and sent so many photos! I will definitely book with her again in the future and highly recommend her to others. Thank you Shelby!
Ericka was great! She made sure my dog Cali was let out safely and got some playtime in to release energy. Photos and detailed notes were available after every visit which we really appreciated. All the visits were timely and went smoothly. She catered to my dog’s needs regarding the extremely cold weather, dressing her with her sweater to go out when needed. Will definitely contact her in the future!
Hannah was fantastic! She came three times a day, was always reliable and trustworthy, and showed up even in bad weather. We have a large dog (over 100 lbs) and felt completely at ease knowing he was in great hands. We’ve used Hannah multiple times and never worry when we’re away. Highly recommend!

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.
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 Bay Shore 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!
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.
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 .
While Rover doesn’t offer traditional subscription services, some sitters offer recurring bookings for services like home visits and dog walking. Recurring services come with their own perks, such as flexibility to modify services (up to five weeks in advance), automatic billing, Rover Card updates, and same-day cancellations.

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.
