Kate was fantastic. My dog, Molly, LOVED her. She was on time, took care of everything... no issues at all. Will definitely be booking with her again!

I am so lucky to have found such a great caregiver for my two cats. She always makes sure their needs are taken care of as well as spending some play time with them. She is very trustworthy and am lucky to have found her.

About: I’ve always possessed a deep love for animals and have grown up around pets my entire life. I have several years of hands-on experience working at a grooming salon, where I assisted with bathing, feeding, and caring for dogs of all breeds and temperaments. I’ve also volunteered at local animal shelters, which helped me better understand dog behavior, body language, and each pet’s unique emotional needs. I’m patient, dependable, and committed to making every pet feel safe, comfortable, and loved while you’re away. I would be honored to care for your furry family member like they’re my own! 🐾 I recently graduated and am taking a gap year, pursuing additional courses as an aspiring physician assistant and working part-time in healthcare. My schedule is very flexible throughout the week, which allows me to dedicate plenty of time, attention, and care to your pets. I’m generally available most weekdays and weekends, except Thursdays. Your pet’s safety and comfort are my top priorities. I always take the time to understand each dog’s routine, personality, and needs to help them feel comfortable and cared for while you’re away. I’m attentive to body language, feeding schedules, medications if needed, and making sure pets feel safe, loved, and stress-free in their own environment. I’m also happy to provide regular updates and photos for peace of mind.

About: I’ve taken care of all kinds of dogs (and other animals!) for many years. Family, friends, and co-workers have relied on me to watch and care for their pets whether it’s walking, feeding, playing, even taking them to the vet. I’ve taken care of dogs of all sizes and ages, from senior bull mastiffs to pugs under a year old. There is no dog too big or too small because they’re all perfect to me. I’ve also found lost dogs and helped them return to their owners! I have experience caring for anxious dogs, blind dogs, deaf dogs, dogs with mobility issues, and dogs that require medication. Other animals I’ve taken care of include: cats, parrots, guinea pigs, fish, rabbits, and hamsters. Pets are so precious, they’re such an important source of joy in their family’s lives so it’s such a privilege to be trusted with their care!! :) Pet sitting is currently my full time job, so I have lots of time to give your animals the special care and attention they deserve! I have a fenced in yard which is perfect for dogs to run around in. I also have a car so I’m able to take dogs to the dog park or dog beaches nearby (if that’s something they would enjoy). At a client’s house I still follow any guidance/schedule given to me. In between I typically take the dog’s lead. I’m at their house so it’s important to me that I respect their space (and the clients above all)! I like to take their cues to make sure that their sense of routine isn’t disrupted.

About: Hey, I’m Janelle. Some people call me Nelly. I’ve grown up around all types of dogs my whole life and love being around them. I just want to be an extra hand for anyone who needs someone reliable to watch or walk their pups.I really love being active and getting outside, so I'm always down to take your dogs out for a good walk or run to keep them entertained and get their energy out. I'm also totally happy to just hang out on the couch, brush them out, or give them some good belly rubs if they're more of a couch potato.I'll treat your dogs like they're my own. Let me know if you need any help! I’m currently working part-time and from home, so I have a flexible schedule that can work around yours if needed. I have zero responsibilities besides myself and others that I care about, and your pet can easily be another. Whether you need a midday check-in, a quick walk, or someone to hang out with them while you're at work, I have plenty of open windows to make it happen. I only watch pets at the client’s house, I don’t do any boarding at my own place. When I’m at your house, I just focus on keeping your pet’s routine exactly how they like it so they don't get stressed out. I'm always super careful about keeping doors locked and making sure no quick cats or dogs try to slip out past me. I'll follow whatever instructions you leave for food, walks, or medicine, and I’ll send you updates and pictures so you know everything is good.

Christine was fabulous. She was conscientious and took great care of our cat. She is the first cat sitter we’ve booked (of 2-3 Rover sitters) who has actually come at exactly the time we asked her, consistently. Beyond that, when our travel plans had to change because of airline problems, Christine kindly agreed to extend the booking - even though it was the holidays and I’m sure she had other obligations.

Kelly is the cat whisperer (for dogs too!!) My 7 month of age ‘Cornish Rex” Luna loved Kelly for knowing everything about kitten/cat life. She provided play time, kitty meal time, along width affection. And during Luna rest time her liter boxes and dishes were cleaned. Kelly also advised me regarding a skin care question I had about Luna too. She is very professional, reliable and experienced with dog/puppy care too. I highly recommend her with confidence.

About: Neighbors and friends have trusted me with their dogs and cats for years — from daily walks to extended boarding. I match your pet's energy, whether they need a calm companion or an adventure buddy. I am currently a medical student, and my schedule is very flexible. I can take care of pets in the afternoons and the entire weekend. Your pet's comfort and safety come first. I stick to your established routines so they barely notice you're gone — consistent feeding, potty breaks, and plenty of love. I'm attentive to behavioral cues and know when a pet needs calm reassurance vs. playtime.

Sarah Z The aka "dog whisper". I have never been away before and I have two protective yet talkative yet shy 11 month old German shepards, Sarah came over and met my girls and it was like a whole new experience yet training training session in one! She is kind compassionate and so amazing with animals. I felt so at ease leaving my kids with her when I went away, I would highly recommend her to anyone! Honestly this was my first time using this app but I will always use Sarah two thumbs up and a bunch of gold stars.

About: 🐾Find me on Facebook Under Renee’s Reliable Pet Care!🐾 Passionate About Animals! Walks, Drop In’s + Happy Tails! ☺️ IG: reneesreliable_petcare I work part time on a flexible remote schedule, no kids. Enjoy true peace of mind knowing your pets are in caring hands with Renee’s Reliable Pet Care! I can be part of a positive routine that your pet can look forward to! Contact me to schedule a meet and greet and check out my amazing reviews! 🐾 I have a passion for learning and understanding all different types of animals. I truly believe each animal has its own individual personality and quirks. My experience in pet care comes from having my own pets, caring for family, friends, clients, and neighbors. I started this journey because I had a difficult time finding reliable sitter’s for my own dog who has suffered from several seizures and has some separation anxiety. I would get canceled on when I was at the office and not have the care for him when I needed it most. These struggles helped me realize that I can easily be that reliable, compassionate person for individuals and their pets! I am punctual, great at showering pets with love and attention, and patient. I am reliable, caring and always happy to go out of my way to help others! I am all about details so please tell me everything your pet likes so my visits can be exciting and happy for your pet! Care checked/background checked. I am so excited to meet you and your baby! If you need someone to stay with your dog for a longer period of time, I work remotely MWF from 12:45-6 pm. I have a flexible work schedule so always ask for what you need! I have availability Tuesdays and Thursdays and have several time slots open 7 days a week this includes open weekend availability. I will take care of your pet like they’re my own! Safety and satisfaction is my number one priority. I will ensure your dog is properly leashed before leaving the house and ensure all doors are locked.

Frequently asked questions about Rover

The average cost for Dog Sitting in East Setauket on Rover is $16.65 per visit (as of August 2026). However, all sitters set their own rates based on experience, location, and availability.

Rover makes budgeting the cost of Dog 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 Dog Sitting. For more information on service fees, click here .

As of August 2026, there are 4,067 sitters on Rover offering Dog Sitting across East Setauket. Enter your ZIP code to see which available sitters are closest to your home.

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 East Setauket 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.

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 East Setauket 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!

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.

A Meet & Greet is a short introductory meeting between you, your dog, 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.

While Rover doesn’t offer traditional subscription services, some sitters offer recurring bookings for services like home visits and dog walking. Recurring services come with their own perks, such as flexibility to modify services (up to five weeks in advance), automatic billing, Rover Card updates, and same-day cancellations.

To find sitters in East Setauket with recurring or weekly availability, select "Repeat Weekly" and which days you’d like them to care for your pet.

Yes, you can find sitters who have experience with handling special pet needs in East Setauket. On Rover:

  • 91% of sitters can help with special care needs
  • 94% can help with giving oral medications or injections
  • 95% 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.

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.
