“Oli did a great job while house sitting and taking care of our little min-pin. Our dog loved her and she was very responsive to our requests for pictures and updates. She also left the house very clean and the dog well fed. We would love to have her back.”

“Alec was amazing! Incredibly attentive and our dog Mabel absolutely loved him. Alec cared for Mabel for a little over a week and provided constant communication and pics so we knew she was being well cared for. I can not recommend Alec enough!”

About: I have taken care of dogs ever since I was young. From watching dogs for friends to venturing to dog parks with my dog. I have owned animals for most of my life. I own a caviled King Charles and a calico cat. I am passionate about animals and want any excuse I can to be around them! I am a teacher so I have off this summer! So I have tons of free time to do whatever pet care you need! I am very flexible and am frequently available on weekends! I luv win a quiet neighborhood with little to no traffic. I am located very close to many dog friendly parks that I would love to take your dog to!
“Sam is an exceptional dog sitter. She walked and fed and played with Milano and treated him like family. She sent pics and videos which warmed our heart to know he was not just comfortable but so happy. I highly recommend her services.”


About: My first job was as a dog walker when I was 12! I have grown up with cats and dogs - caring for them from puppies/kittens through to their golden years. I have also dog/house sat for a large rescue + their several senior cats! My goal is to get to know each pet I interact with so that me and your pet can enjoy our time together. Furry friends are family and I treat them as such. I have also volunteered at 2 different rescues over the past several years helping care for cats as well as walk and play with dogs of all ages. I am currently finishing my last year of medical school so my schedule is not completely free. However, I do typically have evenings, weekends, and a random day off during the week! I get my current schedule 1 month at a time and am happy to accommodate outside my scheduled hospital shifts. I am very respectful of others rules for their home and their pets. I am a tidy person who hates messes in my own home so wouldn't leave them in anyone else's.
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.
“Samantha was so kind, gentle and caring with my Noelle, I could not have asked for a better “babysitter”! I am so grateful to have met her and look forward to working with her again!”

“Brigette did an amazing job watching my two dogs while I was away for a few days. We first met in person to assure she and my dogs were a good fit and along the way her communication was excellent. She watched my dogs in my home for 2 days/nights and from all the pictures and updates I could see my dogs were doing well and having a good time as well. Brigette put me at ease while I was away, knowing that my dogs were being taken care of by someone who truly took care of them like they were hers. I highly recommend her for anyone looking for someone for your pet care needs.”

I send pictures of your pets when you’re away and updates. As of now, I only work part time so I’m available to watch and care for animals around my schedule easily! I always work around my schedule with my clients. I follow directions very carefully with what my client expects. I always go above and beyond especially for animals. I’m very open and always have good communication with my clients.

“Jane was so amazing, caring and meticulous with caring for our 2 dogs (one of which is a senior dog). She sent us detailed updates, photos and videos which giving us peace of mind when we were away on vacation. She left our house cleaner than the way we left it. I am so happy we found a great caretaker for our pups after many failed attempts. Jane was our saving grace and we look forward to using her again!

About: Hi! My name is Marissa, 26 years old & I live in Rockville Centre. Growing up, dogs were always part of my life. While living home with my parents, I helped care for our 3 dogs- Sugar, Cookie & Leche- which gave me experience caring for multiple dogs at once, of all different breeds, ages & temperaments. More recently, my boyfriend and I rescued a cat, which has given me experience with cat care as well! I’m committed to providing quality & attentive- care, and treating every pet as if they were my own. I am patient, flexible, and dependable, and look forward to meeting new fur babies and their owners! I have availability during the day into the late evenings from Sunday- Friday. I am available for dog walking, drop in visits, and house sitting. I will always be available & responsive, for you to contact. I provide a calm & quiet environment for them and always make sure your pet is hydrated, fed and well cared for. I will send photos and detailed messages that include everything that happened during the drop- in visit or the walk (+ anything I notice that is brought to my attention). Just let me know if you’d like any plants watered, mail brought inside, garbage to the curb or fish to be fed!
About: I have had cats and dogs my whole life, so I have a lot of experience caring for them and walking them. I understand how a dog communicates it's needs, like when they need to go outside for the bathroom, or when they need to get their energy out with some playtime. I can handle any sized dog on a leash (my dogs at home are 50-80 pounds!) I can take care of cats as well, and am comfortable cleaning out a litter box. I know how to approach both dogs and cats, and get them to warm up and be comfortable with me. I also have experience babysitting and house sitting. Animals make me so happy so I would love to take care of yours!! I work part-time and have a very flexible schedule, so I'm always welcome and happy to add a dog or cat sitting request into my routine. I take great care of my pets, ensure the dogs have daily walks and the cats always have a clean litter box. And of course, cuddles all the time :)
“Amazing! Jenny jumped in for an overnight in a pinch and it proved to be the best thing for my pup. She was super engaged (walking him and playing fetch), very warm and sent frequent updates and pics. My pup was very happy and he's looking forward to seeing her again!”


About: What sets me apart is that I treat every pet like they’re my own. I’m patient, attentive, reliable, and comfortable adapting to each pet’s personality and routine. I have experience caring for young, energetic pets and understand the importance of consistency, exercise, and positive reinforcement. I’m also comfortable with pets that need extra attention or a calmer environment. My priority is making sure your pet feels safe, comfortable, and cared for while you’re away. I work from home most days, so pet sitting fits perfectly into my schedule. I’m available throughout the day to provide consistent attention, care, walks, and supervision. I have a large fenced yard. I also have plenty of toys for them. I do have small friendly dogs that love to play. I provide a clean, calm, and secure environment where pets feel comfortable, supervised, and cared for, with fresh water, safe spaces, and plenty of attention.

About: I make sure every pet I care for is healthy, safe, and happy! I have experience dog sitting, and I previously worked at a pet store that offered boarding, doggy daycare, and supplies only for dogs and cats. I’ve cared for all types of dogs and am comfortable following medication instructions when needed. I also have a dog and a cat of my own. My dog is my world and my best friend, so I truly understand how important it is to trust someone with your pet. I promise to treat every furry friend as if they were my own and give them the best care possible! I’m available most weekday afternoons and usually have availability on weekends as well. I do have a weekend job, but it isn’t consistent, so my schedule is often open. If possible, I’d just appreciate being notified about bookings at least two weeks in advance. I’m always happy to spend my afternoons caring for furry friends and making sure they’re loved and well taken care of! I have experience dog sitting and caring for all kinds of pups, and I always follow each owner’s preferred routine. Every dog is different, some love backyard potty breaks, others need outdoor time without walks (especially the speedy runners!). I’m happy to accommodate each dog’s personality and needs so they feel safe, comfortable, and right at home.

Pet parents share their Rover experiences - Freeport
Kerry is the absolute best. I have three large dogs and Kerry stays with them in my home for multiple days and nights. I never ever worry when I am away I know my dogs are in the best of care. She will send me pictures of my dogs cuddling with her. They all love her.

Victoria was wonderful with Pam! She sent sweet photos and updates throughout the stay, and it was clear Pam was comfortable and happy with her. She also went above and beyond with the house. When the upstairs toilet started running, she figured out the problem and fixed it herself. She was thoughtful, communicative, and honest about everything, which gave me total peace of mind while I was away. I'd absolutely book her again and highly recommend her to anyone!

Sarah was absolutely amazing. I have never been able to go away without worrying who would be around to feed and let out my dogs let alone worrying about them being alone all night. She kept me updated on how they were doing and sent pictures. My babies absolutely love her! She did not disappoint!

Julia house sat with my dog Ludlow for two weeks in Chelsea, and she was excellent. Ludlow is a Belgian Malinois — high energy, trained on French commands, a lot of dog — and Julia picked all of it up immediately and stayed consistent with it. Daily dog park trips, real walks, and she was totally comfortable with our routine and gear from day one. Communication was the best part: photos, regular updates, and a heads-up when we got low on supplies so nothing turned into a problem. I was traveling the whole time and never once worried. Came home to a happy, tired, well-behaved dog. If you’ve got a big, high-drive breed and you’re nervous about leaving them with someone, Julia’s your person. Rebooking without question

Amazing! Jenny jumped in for an overnight in a pinch and it proved to be the best thing for my pup. She was super engaged (walking him and playing fetch), very warm and sent frequent updates and pics. My pup was very happy and he's looking forward to seeing her again!

Allie was incredible! My dogs absolutely loved her. She is kind, caring and communicated wonderfully while we were away. She diligently sent us updates and photos of our pups. We felt comfortable with her staying in our home. She even took care of our flowers and took in our packages. Highly recommend her!

Devon was exactly the person I needed to care for my fur granddog while I was away. She was professional friendly, caring and attentive. She took wonderful care of him and treated him as I would! Everything was in perfect order when I returned! I would highly recommend Devon! You’ll have peace of mind knowing your furbaby is in good hands! Thank you Devon!

I can’t describe how grateful I am to Nicole. My husband and I went away for our wedding in Mexico and we had the best person we could’ve asked for to watch our boy Buddy Bear. She made it feel like we weren’t even gone and kept us updated all the time with photos. He absolutely loved her as much as we did. Thank you so much Nicole for everything!

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 Freeport 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 Freeport 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.
<b>Tip:</b> 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 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!
The Rover Guarantee is Rover’s commitment to your peace of mind every time you book.

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 .

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.
