Jason was so good with my two kittens.. He kept me updated everyday with photos and how the kittens interacted with him each day. My girl kitten was timid and didn't come out until the end but Jason sent me videos to show me she finally came out and interacted with him. Jason is professional and a super great communicator. Definitely keeping Jason as my Rover guy for all my future needs. Highly recommend.

About: I got my first family dog when I was 8, and caring for him sparked a long-standing love for dogs. Since then, I’ve helped take care of him and other dogs, gaining hands-on experience with their daily needs, training, and routines. I currently work 9-6PM ET, but can be there to take care of your dog any time after that, and any time on the weekends. I provide attentive and personalized care for pets, whether in my home or the client’s. This includes feeding according to their schedule and dietary needs, providing fresh water, giving daily walks and exercise, offering playtime and mental stimulation, and ensuring lots of love and attention. I also follow any specific instructions from the pet owner, monitor for health or behavior changes, and maintain a safe, clean, and comfortable environment at all times.

About: I’ve spent over 23 years caring for animals and grew up around large, strong dog breeds like Cane Corsos and Pit Bulls. I’m comfortable and confident with dogs of all sizes and temperaments, and I also have a deep love for cats and understand how different their needs can be. I take the time to learn each pet’s routine, personality, and comfort level, whether that means long walks, quiet companionship, playtime, or simply being a calm presence. My goal is always to make your pets feel safe, relaxed, and genuinely cared for while you’re away. Pet care fits naturally into my daily routine. I already structure my days around consistency, movement, and responsibility, and as a runner, I’m very comfortable maintaining an active, dependable schedule. Caring for animals feels seamless rather than disruptive. I’m reliable with walks, feeding schedules, and check-ins, and attentive to each pet’s individual needs, whether that’s exercise, quiet companionship, or routine care. I plan my schedule thoughtfully so pets receive consistent attention and are never treated as an afterthought. Safety, trust, and a calm environment are always my top priorities. Whether I’m caring for pets in my home or in a client’s home, I follow their established routines closely so pets feel secure and comfortable. I’m attentive to doors, leashes, and surroundings, and I move at each pet’s pace, especially in new environments. I keep spaces clean, calm, and predictable, and I respect both the pet’s boundaries and the owner’s preferences. I communicate clearly with pet parents and make sure pets are never rushed, overstimulated, or put in situations that feel unsafe.

About: Feathers, Fur, and Everything In Between Hey there! I’m Joanne, and I’ve spent my entire life surrounded by animals. My Experience: * Bird Mom: I’ve owned exotic birds for 15 years. * Vet Assistant Perks: I spent time working in a vet clinic, so I have experience working with cats and dogs. I know what to look for to make sure everyone is healthy and safe. * Shelter Volunteer : I’ve spent plenty of time volunteering at shelters, which means I’m great with small animals and exotics. My Philosophy: Whether I’m hanging out with your cat, walking your dog, or making sure your bird is chirping, I treat your pets like they’re my own family. You’ll get plenty of photos and updates so you know they’re having a good time while you’re away. Bottom line: Your pet’s comfort is my #1 priority. Let’s chat and see if I’m the right fit for your family ! By day, I’m working at the hospital, but in my off-hours, I’m all about the animals. Since my work life is all about care and attention to detail, I bring that same energy to looking after your pets during my free time. I’ve spent 15 years keeping exotic birds, and I currently have two budgies of my own. They get flight time, fresh water, and a spread of fresh veggies every single day—and I bring that same "spoiled and healthy" standard to every pet I watch. Whether you have a dog, a cat, or a feathered friend, I’ll make sure your pet gets the same experience. I make it my mission to ensure every pet in my care gets the exercise they need and their meals exactly how they like them.

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: Taking care of animals has always been a huge part of my life! I grew up surrounded by pets (dogs, birds, fish, the odd reptile) so I’ve always had a special bond with animals. I believe every pet deserves to feel loved and safe, and I’m passionate about making sure your buds feel right at home with me. I can’t wait to meet them! I work from home most days, so I'd be delighted to hang out your pets in my home during the work day or, if you're nearby, take a trip over to yours to play and take them out! I live in a pet-proofed apartment (no loose cords or choking hazards to be found!). I can also crate your pet if necessary and if they're comfortable with that -- adjusting to a new space can be scary!

I also make sure pets receive plenty of attention, playtime, exercise, and affection based on their personality and energy level. I pay close attention to each pet’s behavior and cues so I can respond appropriately and keep them comfortable and happy.

About: **Current References Available By Request** Hi there! My ultimate passion is working with animals. My dream would be to work with pets/animals full time! I'm 29 years old and I have 12 years combined experience with fur babies, both dogs and cats! As well as feathery friends! I've been a sitter, walker and worked at a shelter/boarding business. I am happy when I'm around pets and spend most of my days in a doggie pile, a cat curled in my lap, and my birdie on my face or nibbling on my hair. I absolutely love animals and can provide all the specific love and attention your pet needs. I know all pets are different and have different needs and I want to make sure they are getting the care they need and deserve. :) I can provide the following services for dogs, cats or both: Walking Drop by (feed, give medicine, and play) And short-term sitting (1-5 nights) If you have any questions about my services feel free to message me and I will get back to you promptly. I can't wait to help you and your lovies! :) I am currently working remote and I have a lot of flexibility with my schedule. I'm available most of the day for walkies and drop-bys. I have cared for many different kinds of pets for 12 years. I have worked with dogs, cats, and birds in various environments. My priority is to keep your pet/pets safe and happy.

Christy was amazing with checking in on our cat Boo. My husband and I went on vacation for a week and we couldn’t take Boo with us. Usually when we go away we take him but this trip we couldn’t. Boo has to take a few different meds to take twice a day. Christy stepped up and took such great care of him. She sent us numerous photos and videos. She also checked in everyday, twice a day when she’d go over and take care of him. She spent time with Boo and played with him as well. Christy put us at such ease as far as how Boo is doing with us away. If we go away again and can’t take Boo we will definitely be reaching out to Christy again.

FAQs for Drop-In Visits - Bayside

Frequently asked questions about Rover

The average cost for Dog Sitting in Bayside on Rover is $27.75 per visit (as of July 2026). However, all sitters set their own rates based on experience, location, and availability.

Rover makes budgeting the cost of Dog 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 Dog Sitting. For more information on service fees, click here .

As of July 2026, there are 25,946 sitters on Rover offering Dog Sitting across Bayside. 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 Bayside 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.

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 Bayside 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 short introductory meeting between you, your dog, 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.

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.

To find sitters in Bayside with recurring or weekly availability, select "Repeat Weekly" and which days you’d like them to care for your pet.

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

  • 88% of sitters can help with special care needs
  • 92% can help with giving oral medications or injections
  • 95% 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.

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.
