“I cannot say enough wonderful things about Avary. From the second we connected until we parted ways, Avary stood out as exemplary. Communication was beyond what could be expected, and the thoughtfulness, care, consideration, respect… are just a few words that now come to mind thinking about this experience. I’ve never met anyone — especially through Rover — who had seemingly gone above and beyond to match an existing routine. The true tell was that my dog was willing to take Avary on our USUAL hour-long night walk; something he highly protects. It was so clear that he was completely comfortable after less than a day and was happy to be able to stick to his pretty standard routine because of how well Avary learned and stuck to it too. Would 100% ask back again (and will)!!!”
“Greg watched our two very needy yorkies in our home while we were away for a long weekend. He take wonderful care of them and have them lots of attention. He kept us in the loop with frequent updates and pictures which allowed us to really enjoy our trip knowing they were in such good hands :)”
“book ren if you can! she was super super amazing with my socially problematic dog who has a biting history. ren did a great job reading his body language and knowing when to give him attention and when to give him space. she followed all the instructions i left and i came home to a tired and happy dog.”
About: Hi all! I am crazy about all dogs and am the proud pawrent to two adopted furbabies. One male, pocket pitmix, 6 and one female, chihuahua mix, 4. Both are fixed and friendly. To prevent an intervention of being the owner of way too many dogs to be socially acceptable, I’m opting to be a Rover walker and sitter instead. I am looking to make your dog extra comfortable by having dates where we can walk, play, have treat times, and take selfies. :) Happy to oblige with requests medical/dietary needs, dog park visits, sing alongs, etc. Very flexible with traveling and breeds to house-sit. Dogs are welcome on the furniture and in the bed. Have had dogs of various sizes and breeds (poodle, chihuahua, German Shepherd, cocker spaniel, currently pocket Pit mix) in the past, and am comfortable with any best friend of yours!
“Took great care of our Nebby and our home during her 10 day stay while we were out of the country! We could tell Nebby was very well cared for. We would definitely have Em watch her again!”
“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!”
About: Currently have 2 family dogs so I am comfortable with animals and will provide meticulous care for your loved one and home until you return Plenty of availability during weekdays and will do overnight if need be! We can figure out a good time for you based on what fits my schedule! I often play and baby my dogs and want to show tons of love to them! I do the same for other pets I interact with as well!
“Berenice was amazing - and we were in Europe for a week with uncertain contact information and a different time zone. She sent daily updates, and really seemed to appreciate our dog, whom we consider family. We felt very confident leaving Emma in her capable hands. She even offered to give Emma a bath when she noticed that Emma was biting her feet (an unfortunate habit). She also left our place immaculate and was very respectful. We could not be more pleased with her as a dog sitter and would definitely use her again.”
“Janelle is always so professional and great with Sophie—her trainer energy really resonates with Sophie’s playful and eager energy, she’s become one of Sophie’s favorite people to spend time with and we appreciate it so much.”
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. ❤️

From caring for my own pets to looking after animals for friends and clients, I’ve gained valuable experience over the years. I’m passionate about giving every pet the love and care they deserve, whether it’s walking, feeding, playing, or ensuring their litter box is clean and fresh. I’m also experienced with handling multiple pets at once from my time working at a Pet daycare. I’m happy to travel to you within a reasonable distance of 5 miles. Please don’t hesitate to reach out — I’d love to care for your pet! I have a flexible schedule and am happy to work around your needs. Please check my calendar for available times, and feel free to reach out to see if I can accommodate your request.

“Desiree is a thoughtful and conscientious sitter. She stayed over and cared for my older cat and emo dog. She sent regular updates which gave me confidence while I was gone. Five stars. Highly recommend.”
“Amanda took great care of my dog while I was out of town. She was always prompt in responding to messages and sent pictures of my dog and updates to let me know how she was doing.”
About: For more than 30 years I have been engaged in the maintenance, care and training of my pets. I love animals, taking care of pets gives me pleasure. I have had many different animals, I have experience in caring for turtles, fish, hamsters and cats. I currently work part-time at a dog daycare, where I care for dogs of different breeds, sizes, and personalities every day. This experience has helped me become confident handling both energetic and shy dogs in a safe and attentive way. I’m available for dog walks and drop-in visits on Mondays, Fridays, and weekends by appointment. I always try to be flexible and provide reliable communication and photo updates for pet parents. Dogs have been an important part of my life since childhood, and I have over 30 years of experience caring for pets. I have experience with large breeds such as Huskies and Giant Schnauzers, as well as senior dogs and pets who need medication or extra attention. My priority is making every dog feel safe, calm, and comfortable. I pay close attention to each pet’s personality, routine, and energy level, and I always follow the owner’s instructions carefully. I believe patience, consistency, and trust are the foundation of good pet care.
“Best experience I could have ever hoped for! Erica is very attentive to both pups and pup parents. My dogs were so well cared for and I was sent photos and videos on a very regular basis! She is wonderful and I highly recommend her!!”
“Jaidi watched our two little pups for a day and was an absolutely lovely housesitter. Very responsive, sent lots of photos, and we returned to two very happy pups.”
“Sapphire took great care of my pup Lilly while I was out of town for a long weekend! My regular sitter was sick, so I reached out with short notice right before a holiday, and Sapphire made it work! She was very responsive and communicative throughout, replying quickly to questions and making sure to check in about little things like feeding and departure time. She also took great care of the apartment and left everything tidy and neat. Thanks Sapphire, I will definitely be in touch when Lilly needs a sitter again!”

Olga is a wonderful cat sitter. Both of our cats absolutely loved her, which says a lot because they can be very selective with people. She was caring, reliable, attentive, and made us feel completely at ease while we were away. We came home to two very happy and relaxed cats. Would highly recommend her to anyone looking for a trustworthy and genuinely caring pet sitter.
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.
Kati was amazing with our dog. Cersei was sad when Kati left because they got so attached. Kati also sent lots of updates/pictures throughout and was a great communicator. I will be lucky if Kati is available for our next need and I hope to be able to be a repeat customer of hers. Thank you, Kati!!
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!
Alina was wonderful and at the last minute able to take care of Thor who wasn’t feeling the best. She was able to keep us updated with photo and video and even stayed late because we were running late getting home. We appreciated everything she did and so did Thor .
Mike is amazing! This was my first Rover booking, and he made sure everything went smoothly. He even came over a few weeks before our trip to meet us, our animals, and see the house. He also shared pictures and updates a couple times a day, which was great. We can’t wait to book him for our next trip. 😊

FAQs for House Sitting - Coney Island
Frequently asked questions about Rover
The average cost for House Sitting in Coney Island on Rover is $34.41 per night (as of July 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 July 2026, there are 18,788 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.
Yes, you can find sitters who have experience with handling special pet needs in Coney Island. On Rover:
- 89% of sitters can help with special care needs
- 93% can help with giving oral medications or injections
- 97% 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.
