“Theresa was the perfect sitter for our Amber. She was extremely communicative, always prompt and went the extra mile especially during the 4th of July weekend where our dog doesn't enjoy the fireworks shows in the neighborhood. We could tell that she truly loves taking care of dogs and we would recommend her services to all family and friends.”
“Alicia was great with my dog, Milo! My dog and house are very important to us. She willingly came to our house to meet and greet my dog before we went away, and was able to accommodate his visits feeding schedules. Milo fell in love with her from the moment he met her. Alicia was excellent with our dog while we’re away and did everything we asked of her. I definitely recommend Alicia to watch your pets.”
“Violet is a queen. She patiently and lovingly cared for our old, sick, anxious, incontinent dog while we were away, administering medication, carrying him outside to relieve himself, and cleaning up messes indoors in addition to feeding and watering. She cheerfully accepted all this work and took great care of my pooch. We're lucky to have found her :)”
“Stephanie did a great job. I have had some bad dog sitters in the past and she was just the opposite. She sent updates and photos everyday and made sure the dogs got attention while I was gone. Highest recommendations!”

About: I lovingly cared for my sweet dog for 11 years, treating him like my own child. I provided constant care and medication management during his final days. I’m now a proud cat mom to two adorable kitties! I’ve also pet-sat for friends and family, and nothing makes me happier than loving on furry friends. Your pets will receive all the affection, patience, and attention they deserve, because I’ll treat them like my own! I’m available full-time to care for your pets because this is my true passion.

I will always take direction for the rules you currently have in place for your dog in your home and while we are on walks.

About: I have cared for my own dog and have dog sat for many friends and family over the years. I have personally owned an Australian Shepard and Boston Terriers from puppy age to senior. I have dog sat and walked dogs of all different breeds, ages and sizes. I have experience with caring for dogs with disabilities (blind, deaf, distended back legs) and diabetes. I have been a professional dog sitter for over 3 years, but have been personally caring for and loving them my whole life!

Since I work from home, I have the flexibility to watch your fur babies throughout the week and on weekends and they will never be left home alone for too long! I make sure to treat my clients fur babies and homes with the same love and respect I give to mine. I always make sure to leave the home just as clean as it was when I arrived.
About: I love animals, especially dogs, and have taken care of them since I was a kid! Over the past decade I've developed a lot of professional pet care experience as I worked alongside pet groomers such as my wife. I have attended pet care seminars and trade shows in order to further expand my animal handling skills. I work from home and have a car, so it's easy for me to get around as needed. My schedule is flexible, especially during the day. We have a big yard and two awesome, lovely chihuahua mixes, and an old-man cat that just lazes around on furniture. On occasion we also foster dogs for rescues, so we're used to giving love and attention to animals in our home <3

I have been watching and caring for animals my whole life and I love doing it! I am very reliable and responsible. I would be interested in one time services, daily walks or drop ins. I am responsible, trustworthy, and animals love me just as much as I love them. Growing up, my family has always rescued and fostered animals and I personally have rescued multiple animals as well. I have a flexible schedule and great availability. I am patient and knowledgeable and would love to meet your pet(s)! Please consider me to show your pets some love! I am currently available Monday to Friday 8am-9pm for walks or drop ins. I am not available weekends or holidays at this time. Thank you! I do not offer care at my home at this time. I am available to come to your home for walks or drop ins. I have many years of experience doing drop ins by letting myself into homes with keys and alarm systems. I always checks gates for fenced areas, and dogs stay on leash unless instructed otherwise.
“Dillan honestly went above and beyond with our two cats. He played with them each visit and made sure to send us pictures via Rover, and videos via text. In the pictures, both cats looked like they warmed up to him very quickly. When we got they looked super healthy and happy. Thanks, Dillan!”
“Kelsey was wonderful! She was kind, attentive, loving and patient with my special needs pup! I would highly recommend her! (She was also punctual, helpful, and took some amazing pictures!)”
“Katherine was amazing with my dog!! First time using Rover and I couldnt have had a better experience! She is kind and caring, and did an amazing job with my senior dog who has a lot of specific needs. Shes the best!”
About: I’ve grown up around dogs and have been caring for them most of my life, so being attentive to their needs comes naturally to me. I treat every pet like they’re my own; making sure they feel safe, comfortable, and loved while you’re away. I’m reliable, patient, and pay close attention to routines, whether that’s feeding schedules, walks, or just giving them the extra affection they’re used to. I’ll always keep you updated with photos and check-ins for peace of mind. I’m especially patient with shy or anxious dogs and take the time to help them feel at ease. My fiancé, Eric has also always grown up with dogs and was responsible for taking care of dogs and his cat while growing up and they all lived will into their senior years. He is great with more high energy and active dogs, going on long walks, or runs and hikes with them. I work full time where I commute Monday-Friday. Weekends I’m home. My Fiancé also works full time but he gets out a little earlier than I do. For weekend stays we are available to give your furry family the most attention and care. If there is need during the week I’m usually away from home for 10 hours during the day including my commute time to and from work. We will walk and feed them before we leave in the morning and as soon as either of us gets home will do the same and then again before bedtime. In our home, pets are cared for in a calm, safe environment. We live on the second floor of a house in a suburban neighborhood with sidewalks, which allows for safe, structured walks. While we don’t have direct yard access, we make sure dogs get regular walks, exercise, and attention. I also have a senior cat who is naturally shy and takes time to warm up, so I’m very understanding of pets who may be anxious or need a slower, more gentle approach. In a client’s home, I focus on maintaining your pet’s normal routine as closely as possible whether that’s feeding schedules, walks, playtime, or quiet time. I’m attentive to their behavior and needs, and I always aim to make them feel comfortable and secure while you’re away.

Pet parents share their Rover experiences - Commack
Kayla was amazing with our cat and dog. She sent us notes and photos. When we realized we would be getting back very late in the evening, Kayla was able to add another session for us and make sure our animals were fed and our dog let out to relieve herself. We felt very comfortable with Kayla caring for our pets.
Chrissy was fantastic! She took great care of our cat, Bella for 5 days while we were away. Our cat can be very shy, but they quickly became friends and we are very happy we found Chrissy to look after her. Chrissy was a responsive communicator the entire time and we’d recommend her to anyone.
So thankful to have found Theresa!!!! I was so stressed to leave for a work trip and worried about my puppy being home by herself for most of the day, but Theresa eased all my anxieties. Our pup Dotty loved her from the moment she met her and we knew she was in great hands. She provided updates and pictures which I loved seeing while I’m away :) I would highly recommend - we will be repeat customers! :)
Vanessa is fabulous ! Comfortable with a larger dog , knowledgeable about breeds and dog care in general! She easily recognized all my dog's "language" and had him playing and earning a bell rub with in no time ! Vanessa let the dog out and fed him and all was tidied up when she left and my pup was exercised and content to go to sleep ! Our experience was terrific .

Frequently asked questions about Rover
The average cost of Pet Sitting in Commack is $22 per visit as of October 2026. Most bookings cost between $18 and $39 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 13,133 sitters on Rover offering Pet Sitting across Commack. 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.
