“Ashley is the most amazing and sweetest sitter. So thankful to meet her because she helped me very timely and with so much grace. Thor loves her so much. We can’t wait to work with her again.”
“Samantha was absolutely incredible with our Lola! She gave us frequent updates on how Lola was doing along with pictures of their adventures! Lola was well fed and clearly had a great time on her walks. Samantha showed Lola so much love and care, and we could tell that Lola loved her as well! I would highly recommend Samantha to anyone who needs a dog sitter.”
About: As a dog parent myself, I understand how important it is to trust someone with your pup. I’m a dedicated pet sitter with three years of volunteer experience at an animal shelter, where I worked with dogs of all breeds, sizes, and energy levels. I’m comfortable handling everything from playful puppies to calm senior dogs, and I tailor each walk and visit to your dog’s individual needs. I’m very detail-oriented and experienced in following specific feeding instructions, medication routines, and behavioral guidelines. Whether your dog needs structured walks, extra patience, or lots of affection, I’m committed to providing safe, dependable, and loving care while you’re away. Pet care is a very important part of my daily routine. I have both a dog and a cat of my own, so caring for pets is already built into my day. I work part-time, which gives me flexibility to focus on walks, visits, feeding schedules, and quality time with each pet to ensure pets receive consistent attention, supervision, and care throughout the day. I care for pets using the experience I gained from three years of volunteering at an animal shelter, where I worked with dogs of all breeds, sizes, and energy levels, as well as cats with different personalities and needs. I tailor my care to each pet to ensure they feel safe, comfortable, and well cared for. In my home, I have a fully fenced yard that allows dogs to safely play, exercise, and relax outdoors. I also have two friendly pets who can provide gentle companionship, helping visiting pets feel more at ease in a calm, welcoming environment. I focus on creating the most comfortable and enjoyable experience possible for every pet. Whether caring for pets in my home or a client’s home, I closely follow feeding instructions, medication routines, and any special care guidelines. My goal is to provide attentive, compassionate care while giving pet parents peace of mind that their pets are in good hands.

I have previously worked at two doggy day cares, been a dog sitter at my home, and take care of about 15 feral cats in my backyard at home!

My goal is to make sure they feel right at home and don't have a different schedule than they're used to! Doing this will hopefully ease their worries about when you will be home, and they can focus on having fun and just overall being more relaxed. I also will work with you before you leave to get an idea of their daily life and how you like to spend time with them!

I have always had a love for animals and hope to always have a companion with me every day. I have the skills needed to provide for either a puppy or a senior dog.

A couple of months ago my best friend Browni passed away so I am excited to have this play time in my schedule. I have a fenced yard in my own backyard if your dog needed to stay at my house and plenty of room for them to play around. I also am aware if a dog needs to be back in a crate I will do so and before I let them roam free I will make sure all door and gates are locked so there will be no where for them to run off too!

Frequently asked questions about Rover
The average cost of Dog Sitting in East Setauket is $17 per visit as of October 2026. Most bookings cost between $17 and $28 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 4,013 sitters on Rover offering Dog Sitting across East Setauket. 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.
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 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 Meet & Greet.
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.

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 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.
