This was our 2nd time using Lisa and Michael’s services. They are extremely helpful and diligent. They make us feel at ease while we are away that we don’t have to worry about our pets or who is in our home. They treat our cats like they are their own, provide photos daily, and keep everything very clean. We already have them booked for our next trip.

D’Andre was a big help, came through last minute for me to take care of Rex while I was away for a trip. He was very nice to Rex, attentive and even took care of doggy spill Rex had. Super communicative during the visit and I’m glad I hired him and will hire him more in the future.

About: I have experience pet sitting and caring for many different dogs, so I’m comfortable with all kinds of personalities, sizes, and energy levels. I truly love dogs and enjoy spending time with them, whether that means going on walks, playing, or just giving them company and attention. I also have a golden retriever of my own, so I understand the responsibility and care that goes into making sure pets are happy, safe, and well cared for. I know every dog has different needs, and I always do my best to make them feel comfortable and loved while their owners are away. Whether your dog is energetic and playful or prefers a calmer environment, I’ll make sure they get the care and attention they deserve. 🐾 I currently work part-time only a few days a week, which gives me a flexible schedule and plenty of time to care for pets. Since I’m home from college for the summer, I have availability throughout the week for walks, drop-ins, playtime, feeding, and giving pets lots of attention. I always make sure to plan my schedule around the pets I’m caring for so they get the time, care, and consistency they deserve. I’m also happy to communicate and work with owners to make sure their pet’s routine is followed as closely as possible! I provide walks and drop-in visits only, so pets stay comfortable in their own home. I always follow the owner’s instructions, make sure pets are safe, cared for, and get plenty of attention, exercise, and bathroom breaks during visits.

About: I am a professional dog walker and pet sitter with over twenty years of hands on experience caring for animals. I recently moved to Suffolk County, New York from the Upper West Side of Manhattan after closing my small business in the city. Long Island has been an amazing change for us and we truly love being here. Animals have always been a huge part of my life and have shaped my career for more than two decades. Now that I work from home, I find myself really missing the daily connection with pets. I am certified in pet grooming and have experience in animal behavior as well as light training. I love teaching dogs fun tricks like giving kisses and building trust with them through patience and consistency. I also have experience working as a veterinary technician and receptionist, which has given me a strong understanding of animal health and communication with pet owners. I still maintain several wonderful clients from my time in Manhattan and I am excited to grow my services here in Suffolk County and meet new dogs and their families. About This Sitter Animals have always been my passion for as long as I can remember. I never imagined how far this path would take me, but I truly cannot picture myself doing anything else. Caring for pets feels natural and rewarding to me, and I am grateful every day to be part of their lives. Why I Love Dog Sitting I have loved dogs since the first time I was able to have one of my own. The more I learn about different breeds and personalities, the more my appreciation grows. Every dog has its own temperament and charm, and getting to know them is one of my favorite parts of this work. Meet My Pets In loving memory of Miah. Jenna is currently my active little companion. They are two beautiful Chihuahuas who have filled my life with joy and laughter. About My Home We live in a small four bedroom house in Coram with a backyard that offers space for fresh air and outdoor time. My Experience Administering Medication Yes. I am comfortable giving oral medications only. Pet care fits into my routine very naturally because I work from home and have a flexible schedule. I am available most weekdays and weekends, especially afternoons and evenings. Since I am home often, I can provide consistent attention, walks, feeding schedules, and check ins without rushing. I live in a small four bedroom home in Coram with a backyard where dogs can safely get fresh air and supervised outdoor time. Inside the home, pets are never left unattended for long periods and I always follow the owner’s instructions carefully. I have over twenty years of experience working with animals, including veterinary office experience, so I am very observant of behavior changes and health concerns. I also have one senior toothless small house dog who is gentle and used to other pets, but I always introduce animals slowly and respectfully based on their comfort level.

About: I have been a dog walker for my neighbor for 5 years. I have experienced in pet sitting small and big dogs, as well as puppies and senior dogs. In my free time I walk senior dogs from a shelter. Over these years and with all my experiences, I have learned dog expressions and warning signs which help me to prevent dogs from any triggering behavior. I’m am a college student and work a weekend job. During the week after classes I have free time to dog walk. I keep my calendar updated regularly for any days where I might not be available throughout the week. I live in an apartment, which is why I choose only small to medium sized dogs to board. I have a large yard that is fenced except for the driveway entrance, for your pets safety I only take dogs into the yard with a leash and as always constant supervision.

Christiana was great. She took care of my cat Domino for a week and when I returned he was well fed and well scooped. She kept everything in order and the house and litter box was clean when I got back. I was given good feedback after every visit and she arrived exactly when she was supposed to. Highly recommended!

About: I’m a reliable and caring dog lover who genuinely loves spending time with dogs of all kinds. My neighbors and family members have often relied on me taking care of their dogs while they’re away which gave me experience in being attentive and patients to different dogs needs. Whether your dog needs a quick walk, some exercise, or just a little extra attention during the day, I’m here to make sure they’re happy, safe, and well cared for. I am currently working part-time so I am super flexible to work with you and your dogs schedule and routine. Whenever you need me I can try to accommodate you! In a client’s home, I respect their space and keep everything clean and organized while giving their pet plenty of attention, exercise, and affection. I make sure pets get enough outdoor time, stay hydrated, and feel relaxed while their owner is away.

About: My family and I view each pet as they are our own. My promise to each pet parent is to provide safe and secure, tender-loving pet care from our home to yours! Being home full time enables me to have a flexible schedule. I’m available seven days a week for boarding, drop- in visits or dog walks. At my home we have a fenced-in small patio and plenty of time and space in my neighborhood to take pets on walks to provide daily exercise. I also like to take pets to local parks to release more energy if needed.

I was so skeptical about getting a dog sitter for my upcoming trip because I get very anxious when it comes to my dogs but I couldn’t have chosen anyone better than Donna! She sent me daily pictures of my dogs, videos of them playing, and updated me when they ate all their food. I felt so at ease leaving my dogs in her care. I would 100% recommend her, I know who I will be leaving my dogs with in the future 🥰

Morgan has been absolutely amazing helping me care for my foster puppies. She is always on time, dependable, and incredibly helpful with every aspect of their care. She is patient, attentive, and truly treats the puppies like her own. It’s clear how much she genuinely cares about animals, and her support has made such a huge difference for me during this hectic time. I can always count on her to be reliable, responsible, and compassionate. I highly recommend Morgan to anyone looking for a trustworthy and caring dog sitter!

FAQs for Drop-In Visits - Farmingville

Frequently asked questions about Rover

The average cost for Dog Sitting in Farmingville on Rover is $22.2 per visit (as of July 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 July 2026, there are 3,249 sitters on Rover offering Dog Sitting across Farmingville. 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 Farmingville 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 Farmingville 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 Farmingville 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 Farmingville. On Rover:

  • 92% 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.
