About: As a Star Sitter with 40+ five-star reviews, I provide reliable, one-on-one walks tailored to each dog’s personality, energy level, age, and routine. Whether your dog is an energetic puppy, a senior who prefers a slower pace, or simply needs some company and exercise while you’re away, I’ll make sure they receive attentive and loving care. I have experience with dogs of different sizes, personalities, senior dogs, and dogs with special needs. I can also administer oral medication when needed. During every visit, your dog’s safety and comfort come first. I’m happy to follow their usual routine and your instructions, and you’ll receive updates so you know how they’re doing. I’m available throughout the week in the Babylon area and would love to become someone both you and your dog can count on. 🐶 As a dedicated dog walker, I’m available throughout the week from 8 AM to 6 PM. My flexible schedule allows me to accommodate both regular weekly walks and occasional visits. Dog walking is part of my regular routine, so I’m able to provide consistent, reliable care and give each dog the time, exercise, and attention they need. I’m a dog owner myself, so I understand how important it is to trust the person caring for your pet. My Cavalier King Charles Spaniel, Westley, is part of my family, and caring for him has made me even more attentive to each dog’s individual personality, routine, and comfort. When caring for pets in a client’s home, I follow their usual routine and instructions as closely as possible. Safety is always my priority, including secure leashes and doors, awareness of surroundings during walks, and careful attention to each dog’s behavior and needs. I’m also experienced with senior dogs, dogs with special needs, and administering oral medication.
About: With a lifelong passion for animals and years of hands-on experience, I bring a unique level of care to every pet I look after. I've cared for dogs of all sizes since childhood and have a deep understanding of both energetic pups and senior dogs with special needs. I recently cared for my Yorkie, who lived to be 13, administering daily insulin injections and oral medications with patience and precision. Whether your pet needs gentle medical support or an active play companion, I’m here to provide attentive, reliable care tailored to their needs. As a part-time worker with a flexible schedule, I’m able to dedicate specific days to pet sitting, ensuring each animal receives my full attention and care. Whether during the week or on weekends, I plan my availability around your pet’s needs to provide consistent, focused, and loving care. While I don’t currently have pets living in my apartment with me, I offer a safe, clean, and cozy environment for any animal in my care. My apartment, though modest in size, is located in Forest Hills which is a quiet, beautiful neighborhood with plenty of green space for walking, playing, and outdoor breaks. Whether your pet is staying with me or I’m caring for them in your home, I prioritize their comfort and safety while being respectful and mindful of your space and surroundings.

I hope to provide great hospitality for your dog or dogs, and have them enjoy their time just as much as I would be.

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.
About: I’ve loved and cared for dogs for 15+ years. I’m the person who stops mid-conversation because a dog walked by. I have a senior chihuahua named Mia!

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 of Pet Sitting in Brightwaters is $22 per visit as of October 2026. Most bookings cost between $16 and $31 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 October 2026, there are 21,517 sitters on Rover offering Pet Sitting across Brightwaters. 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 .
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 , which provides up to $25,000 in eligible veterinary care reimbursement.

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 .
sitters on Rover set their own , 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.
