“We had such a great experience with Jen! She took wonderful care of both of our pups and our home while we were away, and we felt completely comfortable knowing they were in good hands. She was communicative, reliable, and clearly gave them lots of love and attention. We’re so glad we found her and will definitely be using her as our go-to sitter moving forward!”
“We asked Andrea to watch our 4 dogs (including 2 puppies) while we went to Ireland for a week - not an easy task for anyone! When there were hiccups, she informed us right away and we returned to our pets being healthy and safe. She also fed our parrot as well as our outdoor cats. Even my plants were well taken care of!”
“We had a great experience with Tori! She is reliable, caring, and kept us updated with photos and messages throughout the stay. Our dogs were happy, well cared for, and clearly felt comfortable with her. It gave us so much peace of mind knowing our pups were in such good hands. We would definitely book with her again and highly recommend her to anyone looking for a trustworthy and attentive pet sitter!!!”

“Trevor took great care of Romeo and our home for us, and we would highly recommend him in the future. He gave us daily pictures and updates to keep us informed. Romeo got lots of exercise, and seems to miss Trevor now that he’s not here! We would love to use Trevor again, knowing Romeo would be in great hands.”
“Lilian was wonderful to work with. She took care of our dogs (14 and 7months) as well as our chickens. Lilian had no problem with following the instructions for the dogs meds and feeding. I was so nervous to go away with a medical senior but Lilian gave me piece of mind with her calm care, updates and communication. I would definitely recommend Lilian and I would definitely use Lilian again to care for our pets!”

About: I’ve been around animals my entire life and have always had dogs and other pets. I’ve also cared for family and friends’ dogs over the years, so I’m comfortable with a variety of breeds, sizes, and personalities. I have experience with both playful puppies and senior dogs who may need a little extra patience and care. Whether your dog needs a walk to burn off some energy, a potty break, playtime, fresh food and water, or just some company while you’re away, I’ll treat them like they’re my own. My goal is to make sure your pet feels safe, happy, and well cared for every visit. ! currently work and am a full-time student, but I have dedicated time throughout the week for pet care. I’m available Monday through Wednesday in the mornings and afternoons, and Thursday evenings. Weekend availability varies since I work most weekends, but I do have occasional openings. If you have a specific date or time in mind, feel free to reach out, and I’ll do my best to accommodate your schedule! Your pet’s safety and comfort are always my top priorities. During every visit, I’ll follow your pet’s normal routine as closely as possible, whether that means feeding, refilling water, giving treats, going for a walk, playing, or simply spending time keeping them company. I’ll make sure doors, gates, and leashes are secure at all times and will always respect your home and follow any instructions you provide. I know every pet has a different personality and comfort level, so I’ll take the time to get to know them and earn their trust. I’ll also send updates and photos after each visit so you can have peace of mind knowing your pet is happy and well cared for while you’re away.
“Samantha was awesome with our pet kitty! He’s extremely shy and has hidden from any sitter we’ve had before, but he made friends with Samantha! She even replaced a broken litter scoop without being asked, brought in our packages and made sure he was eating consistently. Highly recommend and would book again.”

About: Hi! I'm a wildlife biologist, and I've spent most of my life taking care of animals — in a veterinary setting, on wildlife conservation projects, and growing up in my own home with my family pets. I work as a full-time biologist during the spring/summer, and will have open availability over the fall, winter, and spring to help with your pet care needs! I started out as a kennel technician at a veterinary hospital, where my days were cleaning dog kennels and cat cages, feeding and watering, walking dogs, giving oral and topical medications, holding animals for exams, and keeping daily records on everyone in our care. This job is where I learned how to understand an animal’s body language, and how to adjust my own to make sure they feel safe. Since then I've graduated from university and have worked as a field biologist for state and federal agencies, most recently monitoring endangered shorebirds at Jones Beach State Park here on Long Island. Along the way I provided daily care and feeding for state-owned horses in Oregon, and I've handled, banded, and released wild birds across four different groups — songbirds, raptors, waterfowl, and doves. If you have a bird and you get nervous about leaving them, let’s chat. I’d be happy to care for any feathered family members! At home I've kept lizards, snakes, birds, and aquariums of my own, so I'm comfortable with things like heat gradients and UVB, humidity, feeding schedules that aren't daily, and water parameters and filtration. What I offer: • Dog walking, drop-in visits, and overnight stays in your home • Cats, including shy ones and multi-cat households • Medication administration, oral and topical • Senior pets and pets with medical needs genuinely welcome • Birds, reptiles, and aquariums • Photos and a real update after every visit • CPR and First Aid certified I’m always happy to do a free meet-and-greet first. I'd love to meet you and your crew! Currently, I have open availability from 10 am - 9 pm 7 days a week for drop ins and walks. For overnight stays, I am available anytime with 1-2 days notice. Before the first visit I do a free meet-and-greet. I want to see where everything lives — food, leash, litter, carrier, cleaning supplies — and I write the routine down rather than trusting my memory: feeding times and amounts, medications, which treats are allowed, how your dog behaves on a walk, and anything that frightens them. I also want your vet's name and number and a backup contact before I'm ever in the house alone. The thing I'm most careful about is doors. I come and go deliberately, I know where every animal is before I open anything, and I never leave a door propped. Dogs stay leashed the entire time they're outside with me, with no off-leash exceptions unless you've asked for it specifically. I give Medication exactly as written, at the time you've specified, and I confirm each dose with you. I don't adjust a dose or skip one because an animal is being difficult — I'll message you instead. Following written protocols precisely is most of what my professional work has been, in a veterinary hospital and in the field, and I treat your instructions the same way. I pay attention and I report: appetite, water, litter box or bathroom habits, energy, and anything that looks off. If something seems wrong I'll contact you right away. If it looks like an emergency and I can't reach you, I'll get your pet to your vet or the nearest emergency clinic and keep calling. And I look after the house. I clean up after your pet and after myself, I keep your keys and door codes private, I don't bring anyone with me, and I leave the place better than I found it. You'll get photos and a short real update after every visit. I also welcome any feedback, as that helps me do a better job in the future!
“Loved having Audrey and Andrew watch our Great Dane and 2 cats! They were very professional and communicative, sent lots of photos, and all around made me feel that my fur babies were in excellent hands. Highly recommend!”
“Mindy is reliable and a great Petsitter. My nervous dog Max started to relax and my demanding cat Tigger got lots of attention. They were in very good hands which put me at ease for my vacation. Loved getting the updates and photos. Thank you Mindy !”
About: I feed, walk, clean and care for animals of all kinds. I have references on request of all types of care. Dog walks are also available Request the time and day you need. I will always do my best to accommodate you. I like to keep pets on the same schedule they are use to. I can care for your pet in my home if that is needed. I can always and prefer a meet and greet to have a good understanding of what's needed and expected.
“We had Stephanie stay with our ~6 year old hound for 4 days while we were away and our experience couldn’t have been better. She was very communicative (sending us tons of pictures), organized, and we felt like our pup was in great hands the whole time. We will 100% be looking to work with Stephanie again and would highly recommend to others who are looking for great care for their pets while away from home.”

Pet parents share their Rover experiences - Halesite
Julia took great care of our dogs and cats! She met all of their needs and went above and beyond to play with them, spent extra time than we had paid for, and sent updates with pictures. Our pets seemed a lot calmer coming home than they have when we’ve been away before. I also appreciated that Julia ran things by us before just doing them: she has the right judgment for the role for sure. Additionally, it just so happened one dog got a random cut before we left and she was cautious to watch him and not let it get worse so it was healing better when we got back. I had been nervous about that and she made us feel at ease.
Harrison did a fantastic job caring for our boys! They were happy, relaxed, and clearly well cared for when we returned home. Harrison stayed in constant communication, asked all the right questions, and gave us such peace of mind while we were away. It’s such a relief to be able to travel knowing your dogs are in good hands. We truly appreciate everything he did. Thank you, Harrison! 🐾
We had such a great experience with Jen! She took wonderful care of both of our pups and our home while we were away, and we felt completely comfortable knowing they were in good hands. She was communicative, reliable, and clearly gave them lots of love and attention. We’re so glad we found her and will definitely be using her as our go-to sitter moving forward!
To to turn your home and dogs over to GINIA was a real act of faith. Out of one – 10 rating, she earned a 25+ each day brought another video, more affirming statements. My husband and I were so very impressed with her professionalism. She surpassed our expectations. She is kind, capable, and very loving to our fur babies. GINIA is very bright, flexible, and on her own, made good decisions about solving the everyday issues that came up -on her own. My house is clean, safe, and more organized since she was here. My two standard Poodles are very happy. So glad and grateful I found her on rover.com PS she makes everything fun.,,,,,,,,
Sasha was great with Riley and kept her happy and fully exercised while I was out of town! They were extremely helpful and communicative, especially as we had to be creative on how to deal with winter storm Hernando in the midst of their stay. Thanks so much Sasha!
Right from the meet and great Stephanie was extremely attentive taking notes regarding our pups schedule, meal plan, and quirks. She was upfront and let us know things she had going on that she would need to step out for a little bit for during her stay and we were kept well informed throughout our time away with updates and some pictures. I would absolutely recommend her to anyone looking for a pet sitter!

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 Halesite 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 Halesite 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 Halesite 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. 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 , which provides up to 25,000 in eligible veterinary care reimbursement.
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 .
If a health concern arises during a stay, your sitter is instructed to contact you and our Trust & Safety team immediately and, if needed, take your pet to the closest veterinarian. Through our Trust & Safety support team, sitters can ask for diagnostic advice from a qualified veterinary professional if your pet is showing signs of possible illness.
For extra peace of mind, you can also prepare an authorization form for your regular vet. An authorization form outlines your preferred method of care and allows your sitter to bring your pet into their regular clinic.
Every qualified booking made on Rover is backed by the Rover Guarantee, which includes reimbursement for eligible emergency vet care.
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 .
sitters on Rover set their own , 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.
