About: Hi! I’m Janine — a lifelong dog owner, rescue mom, and dedicated pet lover offering safe, loving in-home boarding in my home. With years of hands-on experience and a genuine passion for animals, I understand how important it is to know your dog is in good hands while you’re away. Your pup will enjoy a calm, homey environment with plenty of love and attention. I only board one dog at a time to make sure they feel safe, relaxed, and never overwhelmed. We have a fully fenced-in yard for outdoor play, and your dog will be treated like family—daily walks, cuddle time, and a routine that feels just like home. Whether you have a high-energy pup or a mellow senior, I tailor the care to fit their needs. Let’s chat—I’d love to meet your furry best friend! I work mainly from home and can tailor my schedule to fit your pups needs. They will never be alone longer than the occasional errand, during the days or nights. I have a fenced in yard and 2 friendly pups to make yours feel at home. Plenty of space to separate them, should your pup need a dog free space.
“Michael was amazing with my two shy cats. He was gentle and patient and overall just what they needed. He was respectable of our space and followed instructions well. So grateful he made my first Rover experience a smooth and positive one! Reliable and very responsive. Highly recommend and will definitely rebook in the future.”
About: Former groomer of 5+ years, I’m experienced in providing pet care. I want to continue in the pet industry but now ready to take on new pet services 🐾💙🩷 I’m working part time and have a flexible schedule. I’ll be able to work with your furry ones during the hours that I have available I’m knowledgeable in dog behavior and mannerisms.

About: Animals have been part of my life for as long as I can remember. I grew up with pets and have been around dogs since I was about seven years old. I also spent time every week on my family's farm, where I became comfortable around many different animals, including dogs, cats, horses, cows, bunnies, turtles, chickens, and ducks. Throughout my life, I've cared for multiple dogs of my own and have also pet sat for friends and family. I'm comfortable with walking, feeding, playtime, maintaining established routines, and reinforcing basic training such as sit, stay, come, leash manners, and house-training habits. Growing up around animals taught me to pay attention to their individual personalities and boundaries. I know that some dogs want to play immediately, while others need patience and time before they feel comfortable with someone new. I bring that same patience and attention to every pet I care for. I'll follow your instructions closely and do my best to keep your dog's routine consistent, safe, and enjoyable while you're away. My schedule is flexible, with my strongest availability from Sunday through Wednesday for walks, drop-in visits, and overnight care. I'm also open to longer stays and recurring bookings during those days. Thursday and Friday availability may vary, but I can sometimes accommodate evening or overnight care if a later arrival works for your pet's routine. Weekend requests may also be possible depending on the dates and your pet's needs. Feel free to reach out with your schedule—I’m happy to see if we can find a good fit. When caring for pets in a client's home, my priority is to keep their environment and routine as familiar and consistent as possible. I follow the owner's instructions closely regarding feeding, walks, medications, training, sleeping arrangements, and any household rules. I take time to learn each pet's personality, energy level, boundaries, and normal behavior rather than assuming every animal should be handled the same way. I'll reinforce the commands and routines you already use instead of introducing unnecessary changes while you're away. I also understand that trusting someone with your pet means trusting them with your home. I treat both with respect, keep the areas I use clean and organized, secure doors and entrances carefully, and communicate if anything unusual happens. During visits or overnight stays, I can provide regular updates and photos so you know how your pet is doing and can feel confident that they're safe, comfortable, and receiving attention.
“Katharine was great! I'm still nervous leaving our new puppy and she was very communicative and made sure to send lots of pictures so I knew how they were doing! We'll definitely be asking her to stay with Murphy and Maisie again!!”
“Amazing again! We came back from our trip to very happy kitties:) Susan was great in keeping us up to date on both the kitties and the house. She will be the first one we’ll reach out to next time we travel!”

“Julia was amazing with my cat! From the moment we connected, she was communicative, professional, and clearly a true animal lover. While I was away, she sent the sweetest updates and photos that genuinely made my day—my cat looked so happy and relaxed with her! She went above and beyond to make sure he was well-fed, played with, and comfortable. I came home to a happy, calm cat and everything in perfect order. It gave me such peace of mind knowing he was in such caring hands. I would 100% book with Julia again and highly recommend her to anyone looking for a reliable and kind sitter!”

Currently, over the weekends, I have lots of flexibility and time to care for your dog. During the summer, I have more availability for more long term care. Lots of attention, walks, playtime with our dog Rosie and myself. I have two kids (10 and 13) and my wife in the house who will also shower your dog with love and attention. I will follow whatever routine has worked for you as the owner to ensure an easy transition. I have a fenced in yard in the back where our dog goes out all the time. It is a safe place on a safe block in a safe neighborhood. Our doors remain locked throughout the day but also cannot be opened by dogs if unlocked. I have cameras around the house and an alarm system for the house.

About: I was lucky to tag along with my partner for a Rover gig and I fell in love with dog/house sitting! Since I was unable to have a pet in the our apartment building, it was a great way to care for an animal. I enjoy babysitting and dog sitting. Sharing good vibes 😎 I just moved back to New York from Minnesota. I have a lot of flexibility in my schedule. I work remotely so I can come by between my sessions or work from your home while I care for your loved one! I really care about leaving a place the same or better. Unless noted otherwise, I'll clean a dish, walk a little longer.... its just the type of person I am. The more instructions and specificities the better! Every pet is uniques and so the care should be too!
About: I am located in Long Island, New York! I’ve had dogs my whole life and absolutely love them! I’m experienced in caring for dogs of all breeds and sizes, and I’m passionate about making sure they feel safe, happy, and loved. Whether it’s walking, playing, or providing companionship, I’m always excited to spend time with pups! I am currently taking pre requisite classes for graduate school so my schedule is pretty flexible right now! The dogs will be taken care of throughout the day as needed! I have a small fenced in yard so your dog will always have room to run/play and go to the bathroom. I will let them out multiple times during the day.

Dog parents share their Rover experiences - Freeport
I cannot thank Stephanie enough for taking care of my sweet pup! It was my first time using Rover and I was nervous, hoping to find the right sitter while I was out of town for a few hours. Stephanie put all of my worries at ease during our meet & greet and I got to see firsthand how sweetly she interacted with my dog. During the week, my pup came down with an ear infection and needed to take antibiotics. I told Stephanie, and she gave my dog the antibiotic with ease. She is trustworthy, dependable, and an all around great sitter.
Ella was great! My dog is high maintenance needing medication that she doesn’t easily take and having accidents while she’s alone, Ella was able to give her meds and cleaned up after the accidents. She gave detailed updates of her time as well along with pictures.
Blake was fantastic! She showed up right on time, sent great photos and updates, and it was clear our pups were in wonderful hands. You can tell she genuinely loves animals. We came home to a happy, relaxed dogs. Highly recommend Blake and will absolutely book her again
Wei did an excellent job with the chins and their space. She’s very attentive to details (HUGE plus), compassionate, friendly, and a self starter. I loved how she knew without needing oversight what would need taken care of. Really excited and hoping we will be able to work with Wei for a long time moving forward! Looking forward to next week! Definitely give her a try !!!! Will update my review as time goes on …

Whether you’re at the office for the day or traveling for a few nights, a pet sitter can offer potty breaks during a Freeport 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 Freeport 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 .

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.

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.
