“Kayla did daily checks in for my three cats while I was away and everything went perfectly. We met up a few days before, and she sent me updates each day with pictures. She’s an excellent communicator! I look forward to working with her again. Thanks Kayla!”
“I cannot recommend Claudia enough! She took incredible care of Prince my senior cat while I was away. I received regular photo updates and messages, which gave me complete peace of mind. It was clear that Prince was incredibly at ease, happy, comfortable, and treated just like family. Claudia is professional, highly responsive, and deeply caring. I will absolutely be booking with her again in the future! This was our first time leaving Prince and thankfully Claudia was very accommodating and readily available.”

“Had a great experience with Courtney for our first time using for our cat. Courtney was prompt, professional and asked all the right questions. Will definitely use her again if she is available.”
About: Hi! I’m a local dog lover in the Commack area with a lifelong connection to animals. I grew up with small dogs and currently care for two rescued dogs, a Standard Poodle and a Maltese, who are truly my furbabies. I also volunteer at a PetSmart cat adoption center, where I’ve been helping care for cats for over a year. I’m starting pet sitting because I genuinely enjoy calm, safe, and caring neighborhood walks during the day. I especially love helping dogs get their daily exercise, attention, and comfort while their owners are busy. My goal is to be a reliable and gentle presence your pet can feel safe with, just like a trusted neighbor. Pet care fits into my weekly routine during weekday mornings around lunchtime. I am available for 30 minute neighborhood dog walks or short drop-in visits to check on pets, provide care, and make sure they are comfortable and well taken care of while their owners are away during the day. I do not offer boarding in my home because I already have two dogs of my own, and I want to maintain a safe and calm environment for all pets. I only provide care in clients’ homes or nearby neighborhoods, focusing on small dogs under 40 lbs. For dog walking, I offer calm and safe 30-minute neighborhood walks with one dog at a time to ensure full attention and control (Up to two dogs per household). For drop-in visits, I follow all owner instructions, including feeding, fresh water, and letting dogs out into the backyard if needed. My priority is always safety, trust, and making sure each pet feels comfortable and secure in their familiar environment.
“Alyssa is as solid as they come. We had a 'last minute' request and she made herself available and provided great care to our pups. Great with communication, photos, updates...you will not be disappointed.”
“Rhiannon did a great job caring for my cat while I was out of town. She was very communicative and kept me up-to-date on how he was doing every day. I really appreciate her attention to detail and the thought she put into the daily Rover card.”
“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.”
About: I’ve worked at PetSmart in the pets hotel taking care of 18 dogs at a time. Cleaning and feeding too. Keeping the pets engaged is important. I have a pretty open schedule so I have a lot of availability to keep care for the dogs. I have lots of flexibility with my schedule. Keeping engagement with the dogs is important. Playing or even just keeping company. I also have a very sweet dog that loves meeting other dogs and people.
About: I have been an animal lover ever since I was a child! I have raised puppies, cared for senior cats and dogs, administered medicines, owned many small animals (rabbits, guinea pigs, hamsters and gerbils) and even raised a puppy for the Guide Dog Foundation. I love all animals and will feed any stray that comes to my door as well! I will care for and treat your pets as if they were my own. I work from home so I am available to take care of your babies while you are at work, out of the house or away on vacation I have a large fenced in yard, I love to go on walks and am responsible and respectful when in other peoples homes. I will care for your animals with as much love and care as you would. I will follow your pets routine and care for them as my own.
“Taylor did a great job checking in on my cat Emma! She sent detailed updates and several pictures every day which really put me at ease, especially because Emma can be an anxious cat. I definitely recommend her!”
“We cannot say enough about what a wonderful experience Violet gave to our pups and their humans. She went above and beyond and they both adore her as do we. She’s amazing, kind and very good with our dogs . We are so lucky to have her”
About: I've had the pleasure of dog sitting for family friends & neighbors for the last 6 years as well as having my own pup (a 6 year old Boston Terrier). I am excellent with puppies, and enjoy teaching them new tricks. Your dog is a very important member of your family and I look forward to meeting their wagging tail! Dogs must be spayed/neutered. Please disclose if your pet has any bite or aggression history. I am available during the week to check in on and take care of your dog, have some needed play time, and take them for a walk if requested. I intend to follow any given instructions on your dog's routine to ensure they are happy and comfortable at all times! If permitted I can also bring my dog as a playmate.
About: As a dog sitter, I’m responsible, caring and attentive to each dogs needs. I follow our owners instructions carefully, ensuring proper feeding, exercise, and medication if needed. I keep owners updated with regular check-ins and photos. Most importantly, I truly love dogs and treat each one with kindness and respect ensuring they are happy and well cared for when in my care. Pet care is my full-time job, so it’s a big part of my daily and weekly routine. My schedule allows plenty of time to walk, feed, and play with your dog, making sure they get the attention and care they need. We live in a home with a large fenced in backyard. We have a dog of our own - a friendly, small mixed breed rescue.
“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.”

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 .

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 Commack 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.
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.

- 96% 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 short introductory meeting between you, your pet, 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.
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.
