“Bridget was reliable and really great with my dog. I loved the pictures she sent when she came to let her out. It’s a great feeling to know your dog is good hands and then get the happy pictures to back it up is even better.”
“Jessica was wonderful! We were gone for a week and nervous about our boys being left alone. She sent 10 pictures each drop in, and went above and beyond. The day we lost power while we were away, she came over and made sure they were ok. Thank you so much Jessica!”
About: I have years of experience caring for dogs of all ages, including puppies and seniors. I’m skilled in basic training, medication administration, and understanding each pet’s unique needs. What sets me apart is my calm, reliable nature and genuine love for animals. I treat every pet like family and always prioritize their safety, comfort, and happiness. I’m available for pet care before 9:30 AM and after 4:30 PM Monday through Thursday. My weekends are flexible, making it easy to accommodate walks, drop-ins, or extended care based on your needs. I’m happy to work around your schedule whenever possible! I prioritize safety by carefully following each pet’s routine and ensuring a secure environment, whether in my home or yours. I keep spaces clean, pet-proofed, and calm. I build trust through consistency, gentle handling, and clear communication with pet owners. I never leave pets unattended during visits and always monitor their behavior closely. Creating a stress-free, loving environment is my top priority, so pets feel safe, happy, and right at home.
About: I have always grown up with dogs in my home. Currently, my family has one high energy black lab. In September of 2024, I also adopted my first own dog, Millie! I have watched, played with, fed, and walked dogs for many years including family and friends. I am currently in my final year of veterinary school. I also have worked as a veterinary assistant so have first aid and medical skills. I’m in my clinical year of vet school so my schedule varies by which rotation I’m on! Early morning and evening would probably be best for me most of the time. I try to update my availability calendar as often as I can! My home is very safe. There are plenty of paths and green spaces for walking. Your animal would have to get up one flight of steps.

Pets have been a huge part of my life since I was little, and growing up I helped raise and care for multiple dogs with my family.

I understand how important it is to trust the person caring for your pet, and I promise to treat every animal like they’re my own.

About: Hi everyone! With 6 years of experience caring for all kinds of animals, I absolutely love what I do and treat every pet like my own. My background includes working part-time for a family with 7 dogs of all sizes, which taught me how to handle multiple pets and diverse personalities seamlessly. I currently have two adorable cats and have raised dogs of my own in the past, so I understand both dog and cat needs inside and out. I am very active, I love being on the move and ensuring your pets get all the exercise, long walks, and playtime they need. Being around animals is not only something I excel at, but it is also something I truly enjoy and find incredibly rewarding! I am a master's student right now- so I have multiple days off per week and spend lots of time at home studying, which gives me ample opportunity to fit your pets into my weekly schedule. Because I have a strong background in babysitting, I am completely comfortable, responsible, and mindful of privacy and boundaries while working inside someone else's home. I make sure your pets feel safe and secure in their own environment by sticking strictly to their familiar feeding schedules, keeping their water fresh, administering any medication, and keeping their spaces clean. I'm also super active, so I fill our time together with long walks, high-energy playtime, and plenty of one-on-one attention so they never feel lonely. Ultimately, I treat your home and your pets with the exact same care, love, and respect that I give to my own.

I cannot recommend Tori enough! Leaving my cats for two weeks was something I was really anxious about, but she made me feel completely at ease from the very beginning. She was incredibly reliable, attentive, and caring, and I could tell my cats were genuinely comfortable and happy with her (even one of my cats who is scared of everyone, liked her!) she has such good energy and she kept me updated throughout my entire trip, which gave me so much peace of mind and allowed me to actually relax and enjoy being away without constantly worrying about them. It’s such a huge relief to find someone you truly trust with your pets, especially for such a long trip. I came home to happy, well-cared-for cats and everything exactly as it should be. I’m so grateful for the care she gave them and will absolutely be using her again. If you’re nervous about leaving your pets, she is exactly the kind of person you want taking care of them!
On time - each time , a very thoughtful young lady. She manages to love and receive respect from our macho Beagle and understands Snoopy a large foxhound with a a dark whom is a flight risk, very timid most of the time. We will utilize her services until she's not available anymore!

Frequently asked questions about Rover
As of November 2026, there are 25,713 sitters on Rover offering Pet Sitting across Centre Island. 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 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 Centre Island. On Rover:
- 83% of sitters can help with special care needs
- 88% 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.
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.
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. 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.
