“Megan was wonderful with my dog! She was very communicative, timely, and took great care of my guy who is recovering from a back injury. Highly recommend her!”
“Greg was such a great sitter for our dog Vera. He was incredibly detailed and communicative, left our place spotless. Most importantly he was a very thoughtful and attentive friend to Vera who can often be quite anxious. She seemed to really enjoy his company and received many cuddles. Thank you Greg!”
“Janelle has been watching our dogs on-and-off for many years. She is so great with them, and they are not easy dogs. She is also super responsible and communicative; we trust Janelle to handle anything that comes up with the dogs or the house.”
“Meka was a delightful house sitter! Our pup Liza had a great time with her, and her frequent updates helped calm our nerves as we left Liza home for the first time. She was prompt, responded quickly, and left the apartment in spotless shape! Highly recommend!”
“Michelle dog sat my pup Ozzie for the night. He was immediately so comfortable with her and not as anxious as usual. She is great and communicated very well. I would highly recommend Michelle.”
“We needed a sitter for our senior/special needs dog on short notice due to a death in our family. Lucy accepted and was amazing. She kept us up to date on feedings and walks and made a horrible day bearable knowing our Joey was well taken care of.”
About: Hello, my name is Tyler, and I’ve been a pet owner to my dogs pinky and fendi for the past 14 years. I have also taken care of the dogs of my family and friends, and always make sure that they feel comfortable in their environment. All pets are family to me, and feel comfortable in my care. Looking forward to meeting your fluffy friends! I am currently working in a school, but get out at 3 everyday. So I will be ready to walk your pet for evenings and on weekends. When a pet comes into my home, I try to make them feel as comfortable as possible. When in a clients home, I try to keep them in their regular routine, and make sure that whatever is asked by the owner is completed without fail.
About: I’ve taken care of dogs since I was 16 so for about the last 8-9 years. From my own dog at home to my sister’s dogs and family members dogs. I’ve watched two of the same breed of dogs for the last three years on different occasions. From training them to do tricks to taking care of a dog when she’s in heating. I’m currently a full-time student in college, but my schedule is so spread out since it’s my last semester that I’m really only in school like two days a week and it’s in the morning. I’d like to take the dogs on daily walks before I go to school between 7 AM and 9 AM. I will return home between 3:30 PM and 4:30 p.m. Second walk when I get home from school probably go play in the park for an hour while I exercise come back in and find a walk after dinner before bed. Also, they would eat breakfast when I eat breakfast before I leave for school or I’d put the breakfast out before I leave for school. I live alone. I do have closed off areas in my home that are specific for pet stuff. Have a crate in the living room on a rug and a bag of toys for the dogs on top of the crate. I also have a spare room that’s big enough for most humans let alone dogs to just chill in there. Specific area where the food would go with a spot for wee wee pads or for holding the leash to go outside.
“Yesenia is beyond amazing. She checked in frequently and was very communicative. She sent video and photo to show the pup multiple times a day. Have used her services twice and have a third booked and will continue to utilize.”
“Jaidi is a fantastic sitter! She has a very calm and warm personality and is very skilled in communicating with your canine. She was extremely responsive and professional, and is absolutely the best person you could have watch your dog and home.”
About: I bring nine years of dedicated pet-care experience, primarily with my Siberian Husky, a breed known for its intelligence, energy, and unique behavioral needs. My background also includes occasional care for cats, giving me a well-rounded understanding of feline routines and temperaments. Whether it’s exercise, enrichment, or calm companionship, I’m committed to providing reliable, attentive, and compassionate care for every pet. I have flexible hours during the warmer months and love getting outside with my energetic Siberian Husky for regular walks and grooming. I can accept one-time bookings easily, though reoccurring schedules for walking should be discussed in advance since my availability may be limited. During November through April, walking services are more weather-dependent and may not always be open. Your dog is welcomed into a calm, dog-friendly home where they will have attention, companionship, and structure. Crate-comfort for short periods is important, especially for pups who may get anxious when left alone for quick errands. Day sitting is available for a minimum of 7 hours within a 14-16 hour day (pet needs to do well 8 hours overnight), with a maximum 3-hour break for other tasks; usually in the morning (this also applies to boarding). Overnight stays are generally limited to once every 3 booked days. I remain mindful of each pet’s boundaries and training. Please provide a clear list of your expectations for each home visit. • Furniture rules will match what they’re used to at home • Resource guarding or aggression cannot be accommodated for everyone’s safety My philosophy is simple: a dog should feel respected, understood, and appreciated every step of the way. ❤️

I also make sure your home is left secure and tidy, doors locked, food and water put away properly, and everything as I found it.

Pet parents share their Rover experiences - Coney Island
Lisa house-sat for us for 12 days and watched our dog in the process. Couldn't have asked for a better sitter. Not only does she love my dog and stay in regular contact, there's essentially no trace of her left in the house once she leaves. Pure professionalism.
Kadeisha took amazing care of our dog & home! She was super communicative throughout her stay, sent photos & videos daily, and left our house better than she found it. She stopped by a week before our booking on her own time to meet our pup and get to know her. I would absolutely recommend booking with Kadeisha. She is the best !!!
Christina was a great house/dog sitter! She put in te time to keep Charlie Chi happy and engaged and well-walked, communicated with me to ask about details, sent me photos of the places she visited with Charlie, and was respectful of my home. I wouldn’t hesitate to engage her again.
Mona was incredible with my two dogs and I give her the highest rating! She watched my dogs in difficult circumstances as the blizzard hit and my power went out. Other dog sitters would have probably needed me to return early from my trip. But Mona handled the whole situation very professionally. During her stay, she sent me beautiful photos of my dogs and kept me informed everyday with a status. Mona is extremely trustworthy and was highly respectful of my home. I have already booked her for the next time I am away. Mona is absolutely wonderful!!!!
We were moving from New York City to New Mexico, and our longtime dog sitter had also moved away. So we needed someone to sit Kirby, our rascally Golden Retriever, during our Going Away Party. Laura did an amazing job. Kirby loved her, and having Laura around all afternoon was a tremendous help. She's nice, smart, dependable. If you need someone to watch your pet, look no further: Laura is exactly who you need to contact.
Nia was an absolute godsend! After reaching out to nine different cat sitters for Thanksgiving week with no luck — or no real sense of security — finding her truly felt like a miracle. Kylo adored her from the start, which is saying a lot given how hard it is for him every time we travel. He’s such a sociable boy and really struggles with the absence of people, but with Nia he was clearly comfortable, happy, and so well cared for. She sent thoughtful updates every day, paid close attention to his needs, and handled everything with so much care and professionalism. I felt completely at ease knowing he was in such good hands. I would absolutely recommend her to anyone — and would rehire her without hesitation!

FAQs for House Sitting - Coney Island
Frequently asked questions about Rover
The average cost for House Sitting in Coney Island on Rover is $38.85 per night (as of September 2026). However, all sitters set their own rates based on experience, location, and availability.
Rover makes budgeting the cost of House 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 House Sitting. For more information on service fees, click here .
As of September 2026, there are 18,968 sitters on Rover offering House Sitting across Coney Island. Enter your ZIP code to see which available sitters are closest to your home.
Beyond belly rubs and feeding schedules, a house sitter’s presence may provide an additional layer of security for your home. However, you will need to arrange overnight stays and other household tasks with your sitter when reaching out to them. Not all sitters offer the same services. Common household tasks you can negotiate include:
- Mail & deliveries: Collecting letters and packages so they don't pile up.
- Plant care: Keeping your indoor or outdoor garden hydrated.
- Trash & recycling: Taking trash cans to the curb on scheduled pickup days.
- Home security: Sitters can stay overnight to keep your home occupied.
The best way to align on expectations is during your free Meet & Greet. Use this time to provide a "home cheat sheet" that includes your preferred Coney Island walking routes, the location of your favorite pet store, and any specific quirks about your home’s security or appliances.
It’s helpful to think of house sitting as a "home base" service. Most sitters in Coney Island maintain their normal daily routines, like running errands or heading to the office, meaning your pet should be comfortable being alone for a few hours at a time. If your pet needs a little extra company, here is how to find the perfect match:
- Look for "WFH" sitters: Many sitters mention "Work from Home" on their profile to indicate they’ll be present for the majority of the day.
- Update your pet’s profile: Write down how long your pet can comfortably be left alone. This helps sitters quickly determine if their schedule aligns with your needs.
- Communicate 24/7 needs: Standard house sitting usually doesn't include constant supervision. If your pet requires round-the-clock care, be sure to discuss this upfront.
Tip: Use the Meet & Greet to confirm a sitter's typical "away" windows. Transparency ensures your pet stays happy and your sitter can plan their day effectively!
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 Coney Island 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!
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.
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 .
If a health concern arises during a stay, your sitter is instructed to contact you and our Trust & Safety team immediately and, if needed, take your pet to the closest veterinarian. Through our Trust & Safety support team, sitters can ask for diagnostic advice from a qualified veterinary professional if your pet is showing signs of possible illness.
For extra peace of mind, you can also prepare an authorization form for your regular vet. An authorization form outlines your preferred method of care and allows your sitter to bring your pet into their regular clinic.
Every qualified booking made on Rover is backed by the Rover Guarantee, which includes reimbursement for eligible emergency vet care.
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.

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.
