““I can’t recommend enough! She took amazing care of our dog while we were away for a week, providing attentive and loving care in our home. We came back to a happy, well-cared-for pet. If you’re looking for someone trustworthy and truly caring, Andrea is the one!” Nothing beats leaving my lil boy home to be cared for while on vacation vs leaving them in a strange cold boarding space . Homecare is the best care . Xoxoxoxo”
“Gerald was such a good communicator and so great with our Stella!! He made both her and us so comfortable during the few days he watched her. We got the cutest pictures :) I would recommend him to anyone!”
“Lauren was very helpful and flexible with availability. I would recommend to family and friends. Our old dog Indiana doesn't see or walk too well and Lauren was kind and patient. Thank you again.”
“Ericka was wonderful! Our cat got sick during the visit and she kept us updated with such care and concern, even offering to take him to the vet if needed. We appreciate her and will request her again!”
About: Being around animals brings me joy and I want them to feel at ease because I know they are missing their pet parents. My calm, patient and kind personality will be comforting to your pet. I’ve given medications and have cared for many types of dogs and cats as well as chickens, birds and a duck! I am also very conscientious about safety, being on time and keeping your home tidy. When you return home it will be as you left it and to happy pets! I am recently retired, therefore my schedule is flexible daily, including weekends and overnights. Let me know what your needs are and I will do my best to accommodate. I can pet sit in your home. I do not have my own pets but family members I live with have 2 cats that I often help care for. Safety and caring for your home and pets are important to me. You will return to a tidy home. I am happy to discuss how to accommodate your needs.
“Sandy was amazing with Chansey!! So grateful to have found her on this app. And I look forward to Sandy caring for her again in the future. Thanks Sandy, for loving on my little Chansey girl xoxo”
About: Hi! I'm an experienced pet sitter with over 6 years of cat-sitting experience and 8 years of caring for small dogs for family and friends. I've also been a cat owner for more than 20 years, so I understand that every cat has their own unique personality, routine, and comfort level. Whether your pet is playful, shy, energetic, or loves quiet companionship, I'll make sure they receive the care, attention, and patience they deserve. I'm happy to follow your pet's normal routine, provide fresh food and water, clean litter boxes, administer simple medications if needed, and, of course, give plenty of love and affection. There's nothing more rewarding than seeing pets feel safe, happy, and thrive while their owners are away. I know how important it is to trust the person caring for your furry family member, and I'll treat your pets as if they were my own. I look forward to meeting you and your pets! I work full-time during the day, but I am available for pet care visits early mornings, late afternoons, and evenings. I am especially available on Mondays with flexible availability throughout the day. I understand how important consistency and attention are for cats, and I will make sure your cat receives the care, companionship, and routine they need while you're away. I’m happy to provide updates, follow your instructions, and give your cat the patience and affection they deserve. Your cat’s safety and comfort are my top priorities. I provide a calm, clean, and caring environment where your cat can feel secure and relaxed. I will follow your instructions closely, respect your home, and treat your pet with the same care and attention I give my own.

They love me. unfortunately, my apartment complex does not allow Pitbulls sorry I can cover most days and evening needs. I have the needed transportation to meet your needs. I am ready to help you any way I can. I can care for your pets needs in your home or my apartment. I am flexible in doing whatever is required to meet your needs
“Joanne was such a wonderful person and very professional and Akai loved her!! She was super helpful with his daily shots of insulin and his eye drops. I will always use her in the future for sure and my pup misses her already! Thank you so much for everything!!”
“Stuff was such a great pet -sitter for our dog Roxy, and was available on short notice as well. She was super kind and professional, checked in every day, and sent pics of our pup after every visit. Highly recommend Steff! Thanks again!”
“Alex was great! He was on time and took care of everything with no issues! He also took tons of great pictures and checked in as well. Will definitely be using him more in the future!”
About: As a dedicated dog owner for 11 years, I understand the importance of consistency, safety, and love in pet care. I have experience with daily exercise routines, feeding, basic training, and providing calm, attentive companionship. I’m available for dog walks on weekday evenings and most weekends. I’m punctual, dependable, and happy to set up consistent weekly walking schedules for your pup. I prioritize safety and awareness on every walk. I carefully follow owner instructions, use secure leashing practices, avoid unsafe areas, and stay alert to other dogs and surroundings. I provide updates for peace of mind and treat every pet with patience, care, and respect.
“Brianna is great! She came for a drop in to let our dogs out & to feed them. She followed all of our instructions, and the dogs were happy to see her! She came for a introductory visit before I booked her, and I can tell she loves animals. Looking forward to our next visit! Thanks again!”
“"Absolutely incredible experience! Hannah was everything we could have hoped for and more. Our 100-pound Newfoundland, Arto, absolutely adored them. They were reliable, professional, and managed Arto’s size and energy with ease. It’s not always easy to find someone who can handle such a large dog, but Hannah made it look effortless. They kept us updated with pictures and notes, and we could tell Arto was happy, well cared for, and having a great time. We wouldn’t hesitate to book Hannah again—highly recommend!"”
“Nadine is absolutely wonderful with my two senior dachshunds and the senior conure. Before we went away for a few days, Nadine came to the house four times to get to know the dogs and the conure and to spend time with them. The “kids” love her and respond to Nadine as if she were an old friend. Our oldest doxie is a 30 lb standard who no longer does stairs, so he needs to be lifted up and down from the back stoop every time he goes out. The catch is that although the old boy won’t climb stairs, he suddenly thinks he’s Superman and can jump! Nadine quickly mastered the correct lift and block to get him up and down safely. Nadine kept in touch and checked in and out and sent extra pictures each of the three times she visited each day which was very reassuring. I know the dogs were in great hands, and so do they; and I know that because When I got home, they did not rush to see me to complain. They were welcoming and happy and totally at ease. We will absolutely use Nadine the next time we have to leave the dogs(and the bird).”
About: Hi, I’m Ana! I’m a college student looking to earn extra cash before heading back to campus. What better way than doing what I love? I’d love to walk or sit your dog/cat! EXPERIENCE: I rescued my 3rd dog and she was pregnant! I fostered 4 puppies till they were 2 months old & they recently found there forever homes! 🤍 I have 3 dogs and 6 cats(which are outside or in there own room) I’ve taken care my animals since I was 13. I love being someone any pet can trust and be comfortable with, & love meeting new animals! 🐶💕🐱 Fall availability! Monday – Friday: Available early mornings (6:00 AM – 10:00 AM) and evenings (5:00 PM onward). Unavailable for midday check-ins between 10:30 AM – 4:30 PM on Wed, Thu, and Fri due to classes. Weekends: fully open all day! I offer a safe, spacious, and welcoming home environment! We have a large, fully fenced yard perfect for outdoor play.

I also have six rescued cats who are kept completely separate in their own designated room to ensure everyone stays relaxed and comfortable. My house is fully stocked with treats, food, and two crates available if your pet needs quiet time or structured rests.
About: I've cared primarily for dogs for over 25 years, frequently serving as the go-to walker and sitter for friends and family for the past decade. For the past 3 years, I've also cared for rabbits, and I have done drop-ins and overnight stays for multi-cat homes. I'm experienced and comfortable with administering oral medications and topical treatments for cooperative pets. I'm local to Babylon and available for drop-ins and walks nearby. I keep a flexible schedule and can visit at just about any time of day, seven days a week, including mid-day when most dogs need a break. I care for my own rabbit every morning and evening, so pet care is already built into my daily routine. I currently offer drop-in visits and dog walking. I follow each owner's house rules closely, including which rooms pets are allowed in, which pets can be together and which need to stay separate, and any feeding or medication routines. Dogs stay leashed any time we're outside a designated play area, and I check that doors, gates, and enclosures are secure before I leave.
“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.”

Pet parents share their Rover experiences - Bay Shore
My cat Blackie is a Ferrel cat that was found in the woods near our home. Needless to say, he has some issues and was very difficult to socialize. I don't feel comfortable leaving him with just anyone. Erika has proven to be very gentle and kind with Blackie. He lets her sit with him, pet him and brush his hair. She has also gone over and above with Blackie, in one instance when my husband and I had a cruise planned, Blackie decided to disappear outside. Instead of not showing up, Erika still came over during her regularly scheduled hours to look for him and about 3-4 days into the cruise she did find him, and he came in for her which was a big relief for me. I also feel that she is trustworthy and do not worry when she is in my home. In summary, I would highly recommend her and believe she is very good at her job.
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!

Frequently asked questions about Rover
The average cost for Pet Sitting in Bay Shore on Rover is $22.2 per visit (as of September 2026). However, all sitters set their own rates based on experience, location, and availability.
Rover makes budgeting the cost of Pet 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 Pet Sitting. For more information on service fees, click here .
As of September 2026, there are 19,297 sitters on Rover offering Pet Sitting across Bay Shore. Enter your ZIP code to see which available sitters are closest to your home.
A pet sitter can provide focused care sessions, help your pet’s routine stay on track, or keep you updated on your pet’s mood and energy levels.
Whether you’re at the office for the day or traveling for a few nights, a pet sitter can offer potty breaks during a Bay Shore stroll, cleaning the litter box, or making sure your pet has on-time food or water refills. For daytime services like walking and drop-ins, you can also request sitters to send a report card with every visit.
Tip: You can discuss your specific arrangements with a pet sitter on Rover to what fits you, your pet, and your sitter’s needs. To find what their special skills are, look at the "Skills" and "Pet care experience" sections on their profile.
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 Bay Shore. On Rover:
- 87% of sitters can help with special care needs
- 93% can help with giving oral medications or injections
- 96% 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 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.
