About: I’ve always loved animals and have experience caring for dogs of different sizes and personalities. Friends, family, and neighbors have trusted me to feed, walk, play with, and care for their pets while they’re away. I’m patient, responsible, and understand how important it is to make pets feel safe, comfortable, and loved. I treat every pet as if they were my own and will always follow their routine and owner’s instructions carefully. I currently have a flexible schedule and am available for pet sitting, drop-in visits, and dog walks throughout the week and on weekends. I always do my best to accommodate each pet’s routine and needs. Once school begins, my availability may change slightly on certain days, but I will keep my calendar updated so pet owners always know when I’m available. Your pet’s safety and comfort are my top priorities. I will follow all care instructions carefully, including feeding schedules, medications, exercise routines, and any special needs. I understand that every pet is different and deserves individualized care. While caring for pets in your home, I will make sure they feel comfortable in their familiar environment and receive plenty of attention, affection, and supervision.

About: I’ve had dogs my whole life and love them all big to small. I’m a dog owner myself, I have a 14-year-old Boston Terrier and a 2-year-old Golden Retriever. So I’m very used to both senior dogs and high energy pups. I really understand how important it is to have someone dependable caring for your pet. I’m very consistent, always show up, and treat every pet like my own. Whether your dog needs a quick potty break, fresh food/water, or some playtime and attention, I’ll make sure they’re happy, safe, and cared for while you’re away. If you’re looking for someone local, trustworthy, and consistent, I’d love to help! I’m available for late morning visits and afternoon drop-ins during the week, with more limited availability on weekends. I focus on a small number of consistent clients to provide reliable care.

I follow your instructions closely and make sure your pet feels safe, relaxed, and cared for during every visit.

About: I have been a dog walker for my neighbor for 5 years. I have experienced in pet sitting small and big dogs, as well as puppies and senior dogs. In my free time I walk senior dogs from a shelter. Over these years and with all my experiences, I have learned dog expressions and warning signs which help me to prevent dogs from any triggering behavior. I’m am a college student and work a weekend job. During the week after classes I have free time to dog walk. I keep my calendar updated regularly for any days where I might not be available throughout the week. I live in an apartment, which is why I choose only small to medium sized dogs to board. I have a large yard that is fenced except for the driveway entrance, for your pets safety I only take dogs into the yard with a leash and as always constant supervision.

About: I’m a reliable and caring dog lover who genuinely loves spending time with dogs of all kinds. My neighbors and family members have often relied on me taking care of their dogs while they’re away which gave me experience in being attentive and patients to different dogs needs. Whether your dog needs a quick walk, some exercise, or just a little extra attention during the day, I’m here to make sure they’re happy, safe, and well cared for. I am currently working part-time so I am super flexible to work with you and your dogs schedule and routine. Whenever you need me I can try to accommodate you! In a client’s home, I respect their space and keep everything clean and organized while giving their pet plenty of attention, exercise, and affection. I make sure pets get enough outdoor time, stay hydrated, and feel relaxed while their owner is away.

About: While I’ve never owned a dog, I have worked as a dog sitter and walker since I was a kid, and I’ve been in and around dogs my whole life. I also have in-depth experience with other animals including rabbits, lizards, snakes, gerbils/mice, rats, fish, frogs, but especially cats. I volunteered at a cat shelter administering meds and working with the high needs and feral cats. I am a graduate student so I have a very flexible schedule outside of Tuesdays and Wednesdays. I can stay at any house within 30 minutes of stony Brook university for as long as you need. I like to get the basics out of the way first; walk, food, water, meds and other maintenance (litter-box, pet related cleaning ect). I love to send a cute photo of your pet(s) to you every day to ensure both your peace of mind and help build that library of cute photos! Even for “drop-in” sitting, I will spend most of my day working/relaxing in the home around them, intermittently playing with them or letting them outside (if relevant). I since I grew up around so many pets, I very naturally am always aware of what your pet is up to in and around me, often talking to them directly (as if they understand). Especially for drop ins, I try to simulate them having you still there/they have not been left home alone and overall want to make them feel less lonely. Of course I will adjust this as necessary regarding specific anxious attachment concerns! For dog walking, if you’re willing to let me drive your dog, I love taking walks in parks or along a beach! I would love to “double dip” and take care of any other pets you need taken care of, I have experience across the animal kingdom (rodents, reptiles, amphibians, fish!) or any minor tasks you need done like watering plants or bringing in mail/packages! Things like packages or feeding fish are fully included in my rate, but I might request a small fee increase ($5 max) depending on the magnitude. For example if “water the plants” involved 20 different exotic plants with specialty watering techniques or if feeding the fish also included changing their tank water. Overall my only concern regarding safety/trust and environment is that I am not comfortable with aggressive dogs. Even if they are only trying to intimidate me at first, I am overly cautious around aggressive dogs which impedes my ability to provide them the care they deserve. (This is mostly due to an experience as a child while taking care of my grandparents dachshund where another dog tried to attack her so I picked her up and the other dog ended up biting my arm).

As always, Emma and Trent are the best. We’ve been lucky that they’ve been available when we needed someone to care for our girls while we needed to be away for several hours. We added another pup this time and Emma was welcoming to her as well. Dowdy, my granddaughters Chesapeake Bay Retriever can be a little excitable so we had a short meet and greet before we left for the evening. The meet and greet went exceptionally well so we felt very comfortable leaving all three of our furry girls with Emma and Trent. We highly recommend Emma and Trent to anyone needing a sitter for their furry friends. Our girls live them as well!

FAQs for Drop-In Visits - Centereach

Frequently asked questions about Rover

The average cost for Dog Sitting in Centereach on Rover is $22.2 per visit (as of June 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 June 2026, there are 4,112 sitters on Rover offering Dog Sitting across Centereach. 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 Centereach 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 Centereach 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 Centereach 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 Centereach. On Rover:

  • 91% of sitters can help with special care needs
  • 94% 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.

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.
