About: What sets me apart is the genuine love, patience, and attention I give to every pet in my care. I treat every animal like family and take the time to learn their unique personality, routine, and needs. Whether your pet is playful and energetic, shy and nervous, or simply loves a cozy nap, I’m happy to meet them where they’re comfortable. Pet care fits naturally into my daily routine, and I enjoy making time for it! I’m able to provide consistent attention, playtime, walks, cuddles, and plenty of companionship throughout the day. I understand that every pet has their own schedule and needs, so I’m happy to follow their usual routine as closely as possible. Whether I’m caring for a pet in my home or in a client’s home, I focus on making them feel safe, comfortable, and loved. I follow their normal routines as closely as possible, including meals, walks, playtime, potty breaks, and rest. I give each pet plenty of one-on-one attention and make sure they have a clean, safe, and comfortable environment. I’m also happy to provide regular updates and photos so you can have peace of mind while you’re away. Most importantly, I treat every pet like they’re part of my own family!

“Staci was absolutely wonderful! One of our dogs is in the middle of a long recovery from TPLO surgery, Staci was great with her and even slept downstairs on the couch since our dog can’t climb stairs right now. Lots of great pictures through our trip that made us feel so much more relaxed knowing everyone was doing good. Highly recommend Staci!!”


About: I’ve always had a love for animals and enjoy making pets feel safe, comfortable, and cared for while their owners are away. I understand that every dog has a different personality and routine, so I take the time to follow each owner’s instructions closely. Whether your pet needs walks, playtime, feeding, cuddles, or just a calm companion, I’ll make sure they feel loved and cared for. I work from home, so pet care fits very naturally into my daily routine. Since I’m home often, your pet won’t be left alone for long periods of time, and I can help keep them on their normal schedule so they feel safe, comfortable, and cared for. For house sitting, I’m also able to bring my work equipment with me, which allows me to stay with your pet while still working remotely and giving them consistent care and companionship. When caring for pets in a client’s home, I make it a priority to keep their routine and environment as normal and comfortable as possible. I carefully follow all instructions for feeding, walks, potty breaks, medications if needed, crate routines, and any house rules. I always make sure doors, gates, leashes, and fenced areas are secure, and I pay close attention during walks and playtime to keep pets safe. I’m respectful of every client’s home and will treat both your pet and your space with care. I’m also happy to send updates and photos so you feel comfortable while you’re away.
“Kimberly took us as a last minute house sitting booking and was even able to squeeze in a meet & greet. She was really good to our 2 dogs and 2 cats and we could trust her in our home. We’re so happy to have found her! Thank you, Kimberly!”
“Trevor was wonderful! He was very attentive to all our house sitting and pet sitting needs. Including bringing in our many packages and mail that was delivered while we were gone, managing our pup’s irregular eating habits and navigating a visit from the cleaners. We felt great leaving our Zoey girl in his care and highly recommend his services.”

About: Hi! I’m an avid animal lover with over 10 years of experience caring for animals of all kinds. As a proud pet parent to three dogs and two cats, I know firsthand that our pets aren’t just animals—they’re family! ❤️ My love for animals goes beyond just providing basic care. I believe every pet deserves patience, attention, affection, and a safe, loving environment where they feel comfortable and happy. Whether it’s going for walks, playtime, cuddles, feeding, or simply keeping your furry friend company, I’m happy to make sure they receive the love and care they deserve. Over the years, I’ve gained experience caring for a variety of animals, and I understand that every pet has their own unique personality, needs, and routines. I’m committed to making sure your pets feel safe, comfortable, and loved while you’re away. I know how important it is to trust someone with your beloved pets, and I would treat yours with the same love and care I give my own. I can’t wait to meet your furry family members! 🐶🐱❤️ I work full-time from home and my job is very flexible. I’m able to accept same day requests and can check on your pet frequently if needed. I will be sure to be very respectable of your home and will make sure everything is as it was when I came in. Will clean up any mess made by pet if needed.
About: My dog is the most important thing to me. Therefore I know what it’s like to worry about whether my fur baby is in good hands. I will treat your baby just as I treat mine and will try to make their time away from you less stressful for both of you. You can be assured that they will be in good hands. Whether it’s for a walk or to take care of them for a couple days. I understand that all pets are different and they all have different needs. I will try to know as much as possible to provide the best service to you and your pet. I have a lot of personal experience with dogs in my own personal life and would love to share that experience with all :)
“Great experience having Giana stay and care for our 14 year old Cocker Spaniel who we thought at this age would do better in her home environment. Giana was most professional, and I felt completely comfortable with my doggie and house in her care.”
“Hayley was a wonderful sitter for our 2 year old shepherd mix—highly recommend! Not only did she come to the rescue when our dog sitter backed out last minute, but she also took amazing care of our dog who had just had an injury (requiring close monitoring, medication administration, and wound care). She helped ease our stress, knowing he would be in good hands while we were away. She was quick to respond, easy to communicate with, and so accommodating—sending us plenty of updates, pictures, and videos. She went above and beyond to take care of him and our home.”

“Elliot and Jackson are truly amazing dog sitters. They took the time to get to know our two mini schnauzers (one being a nervous rescue) prior to the visit. Communication was excellent during the pet sitting and I felt confident that my dogs were being well cared for. They even got some kisses from my rescue boy, which doesn’t happen often. I would highly recommend them.”


“Laura was absolutely amazing. She cared for my dog during a crazy storm. She kept him safe and comfortable and kept me updated thru the entire stay. I will absolutely request her for the next overnight and I am so thankful for her!!!”

“We are so happy we met Nicole to watch our 2 pups and cat while we were away. She handled our 2 big pups like a pro - they are not the easiest and are a bit on guard when meeting new people but she quickly put them at ease. She sent daily updates and followed our instructions perfectly. I am very happy that we have Nicole to trust with our animals!”

About: i’ve been taking care of dogs ever since I was a little girl. I helped my mom out every day with our two dogs that I have in my house and I help my grandpa out with his dog as well. I used to have 100-140 pound Pitbull‘s so I am able to work with big dogs as well. One of my dogs at home is blind, so I do take extra care of him and I am able to work with dogs that need a little extra care I am currently attending college at stony brook university. I am looking for a job to keep me busy but manageable with classes. I am also missing my dogs back at home so I would love to be able to tend to other peoples dogs!! I am available every day of the week, the hours do differ each day depending on my classes that day! I have 2 dogs at home. One of them is blind so i do have to take extra care of him. I take my dogs on daily walks/runs. I also pet sit for my families and friends. My other do at home is very hyper and needs a lot of exercise and I tend to be the one in my family who takes her out and plays with her.

About: I have always LOVED dogs of all sizes & breeds. I used Rover back in 2018 for some time but unfortunately my life got too busy to give the dogs all the attention they need and deserve. As I have a lot of extra time right now, I have decided to return to Rover and I’m excited to make some new furry friends. Dogs seem to be naturally comfortable & relaxed with me, as I with them. During high school & college, I did a lot of dog sitting. I genuinely enjoyed the "work" (it was more fun than work) and bonded with each and every one of these dogs. I usually stayed at my clients' homes while they were away. Sometimes for just a weekend, other times up to 2 weeks or more. I have dog sat and walked for numerous types of breeds including Pit bulls, Rottweilers, German Shepherds, Huskies, Standard Poodles, Chihuahuas, French Bulldogs, Kerry Blue Terriers, Golden Retrievers, Labrador Retrievers, Welsh Corgi, Shih Tzus, Mixed breeds, and many more! While most of my clients were healthy, I have also dog sat for dogs with medical issues that require medications (including injections and seizure, medications) and/or special needs. Dogs bring so much joy to our lives and are a part of our families. I understand how stressful and upsetting it can be when you have to leave a loved-one home when you have to travel or even just leave for a few hours for work. It is very important to find someone you can trust that will love and care for your dog just as you do! I can guarantee, when with me, your loved-ones will be safe and treated with love and respect all dogs deserve. I enjoy getting "down and dirty" with "my dogs," whether it's playing with them on the living-room floor or at the beach, park, and/or backyard. Snuggling with them is always enjoyable and relaxing too. I have a flexible schedule that allows me to dedicate plenty of time and attention to the pets in my care. I love spending time with dogs, whether that means going for walks, playing, exploring parks, or simply keeping them company. I’m able to work my schedule around each pet’s individual needs and routines, so they receive plenty of attention, exercise, and affection while their owners are away. When caring for pets in their own home, I make it a priority to keep their routine as close to normal as possible. I follow their usual feeding schedule, walks, playtime, and any other routines their owners have established. I believe dogs thrive on consistency, especially when their families are away. I love giving dogs plenty of attention, affection, exercise, and playtime, while making sure they feel comfortable, safe, and well cared for in their familiar surroundings. My goal is to make their time away from their owners as happy and stress-free as possible! I also like to send photos and texts updating the owners on how the dog(s) is doing and what we spent our time doing.

Your pet will receive individual attention tailored entirely to their unique personality, routine, and needs. Whether your dog requires high-energy enrichment or your cat prefers quiet companionship, I adapt my approach to keep them completely comfortable. What I Offer: Medical Care: Expert medication administration, including oral meds, topicals, and injections. Behavior & Routine: Strict adherence to your established training schedules and house rules. Patience & Trust: Experienced in reading animal body language to comfort anxious or shy pets. Peace of Mind: Full medical and behavioral oversight from a certified industry professional. I work full-time as a veterinary assistant from 8:30 AM to 5:00 PM, which means your pet will have a highly structured routine and professional monitoring outside of those hours. Because of my medical and training background, I am strictly disciplined with scheduling to ensure your pet never misses a meal, a bathroom break, or a medication dose.

About: Experienced, dependable pet sitter with skills in, cat care, senior pet care, and a calm, caring approach that makes every pet feel safe and loved. Pet care is a natural part of my daily routine, and I’m flexible with mornings, evenings, and weekends to ensure pets get the consistent attention and care they need. I create a safe, stress-free environment by following each pet’s routine closely, keeping spaces clean and secure, and building trust through gentle, attentive care, whether in my home or yours.

About: I have loved dogs and animals for as long as I can remember. Growing up, I wasn’t allowed to have a dog, but I spent a lot of time caring for my neighbor’s Bernese Mountain Dog, Koda. I would walk, play with, and care for him, which helped me realize how much I enjoy working with animals and building connections with them. As I got older, I began volunteering with Carol’s Senior Pet Sanctuary, where I walked shelter dogs and sometimes brought them home overnight. This gave me experience with dogs of different sizes, ages, energy levels, and personalities. I understand that every dog is unique and always make sure they feel safe, comfortable, and cared for. My love for animals has inspired me to pursue a career in dog grooming and training, with the goal of becoming a professional dog trainer. I’m patient, energetic, and happy to keep active dogs entertained while also being comfortable with shy or nervous dogs. Whether your dog needs walks, playtime, feeding, fresh water, bathroom breaks, companionship, or just some extra love and attention while you are away, I would be happy to help. My goal is to make sure your pet feels happy, safe, and loved while you are gone. I will treat every dog as if they were my own and give them the patience, attention, and care they deserve. I currently have a very flexible schedule and am available throughout the week, including weekends. I’m happy to work around your schedule and provide care whenever you need it. Whether your pup needs a walk, playtime, companionship, or extra attention, I’m always happy to help and make sure they feel happy, safe, and loved! I take pet safety very seriously, both in your home and in mine. I make sure doors are securely closed and locked when needed, and I keep anything potentially harmful or unsafe out of a dog’s reach. I always keep a close eye on the dogs in my care, especially puppies who may be curious and get into things. I’ll also follow your instructions regarding feeding, walks, routines, and any areas of the home your dog is or isn’t allowed in. My goal is to create a safe, comfortable, and stress-free environment where your pup can feel right at home.

“If you know me you know my dogs are my children. My husband and I have never had anyone in our home to watch our dogs before. We don't treat our dogs like 'dogs', they are part of our family so to us this was like having a babysitter for our children. Well, Rosie, was amazing! She came twice to visit and get to know my babies. During our weekend away she texted photos and sent updates. Gabe broke his favorite toy and she even went out and bought him a new one. Rosie truly loves animals and you can see her heart is truly in this 'job'. She will care for your pets as if they were her own. I whole heartily recommend Rosie to sit for your pets as she will for mine in the future.”

We absolutely love Jess! ❤️ She is so attentive, caring, and loving, and she truly goes above and beyond for Theo. I’m so grateful we found someone who treats him with so much patience and kindness. Knowing that Theo feels safe and comfortable with her means everything to me, and I couldn’t be happier with the care she provides. We definitely plan on keeping Jess as Theo’s sitter for the long run! She’s respectful, quick to respond, and always available to communicate. I wholeheartedly recommend her to anyone looking for someone who will care for their fur baby as if they were her own. She’s truly the best! 🐾💕

Tatiana was an amazing dog sitter for our dog, Steely! She kept us updated the entire weekend with messages and photos, which gave us so much peace of mind while we were away. It was very clear that Steely was well cared for, loved, and comfortable the whole time. We truly appreciated her communication, reliability, and kindness. We would absolutely recommend Tatiana to anyone looking for a trustworthy and caring pet sitter!

Frequently asked questions about Rover
The average cost of House Sitting in Hauppauge is $75 per night as of October 2026. Most bookings cost between $46 and $150 per night. 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 5,698 sitters on Rover offering House Sitting across Hauppauge. Enter your ZIP code to see which available sitters are closest to your home.
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 Hauppauge 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 Hauppauge 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.
Tip: 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 Hauppauge 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.
