“Beth was amazing and really came through at the last minute! She gave my dogs a nice walk and then hung out with them on the couch, which is their favorite thing. 😊”
“Sarah was great at stopping by and caring for my two cats. I almost think to good, my cats didn't seem to miss me when I got back. Sarah sent photos and spent time with them so they didn't feel neglected. Sarah also went above and beyond by shoveling snow! It snowed while I was away and Sarah cleared the walk way and some of the driveway. Plus she also let the cats have some outdoor time in the snow (they are indoor/outdoor cats so it was good that they got some outdoor time while I was away so things seemed normal).”
“Jordan took great care of Mona while I was away for several days. Mona can be sensitive to changes in routine, and Jordan was calm, patient, and very attentive in helping her feel comfortable. She was communicative, reliable, and made sure Mona’s routine stayed consistent, which gave me peace of mind while traveling. I appreciated how thoughtful she was in making sure Mona was well cared for and comfortable. Over the course of the visits, Mona became more relaxed and even playful, which really speaks to Jordan’s approach and attentiveness. Jordan is responsible, kind, and clearly cares about the animals she works with. I would absolutely recommend her and would gladly book with her again.”
“My puppies were happy and content when I arrived home while Bridget let them out in my backyard. Even with my smaller, younger puppy being a bit cautious and protective, everything seemed to go EXACTLY as planned! Kudos and thank you! Would highly recommend!”
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!
About: Hi! I am Amber. I understand that pets aren’t just animals, they’re family and an extension of ourselves! I’m attentive, dependable, and I genuinely love getting to know each animals unique personality and quirks. I do not mind whether your pet loves long walks, playtime, or just having someone nearby. My goal is to make them feel safe and comfortable while you are away. I am more than happy to provide regular updates and plenty of photos! My schedule is pretty flexible right now, so I have plenty of time! I am happy to work around their usual routines and do what I can! I am more than happy to stick to their usual routines, follow any special instructions, and make sure they get plenty of attention. Whatever is necessary to make them (and you) feel at ease and happy!
“As always, Emma and Trent are the best. We’ve been lucky that they’ve been available when we needed someone to care for our girls while we needed to be away for several hours. We added another pup this time and Emma was welcoming to her as well. Dowdy, my granddaughters Chesapeake Bay Retriever can be a little excitable so we had a short meet and greet before we left for the evening. The meet and greet went exceptionally well so we felt very comfortable leaving all three of our furry girls with Emma and Trent. We highly recommend Emma and Trent to anyone needing a sitter for their furry friends. Our girls live them as well!”
“Brittany was amazing, taking care of my four cats while I was away for a few days. She kept me informed while I was away, sending lots of photos. I was a bit nervous having someone else watch my cats, this was the first time someone other than a family member cared for them. I was much more comfortable after our meet and greet. I highly recommend Brittany.”
About: Hi, my name is Siouxsie and I am a twenty-seven year old Art teacher with a HUGE heart for the outdoors. Also a libra baby and one of the biggest animal lovers on the entire planet. From furry, to scaly, to feathery, you name it, I love them. I have had about a 3 years and a half of experience working with small to large dogs, that is including dog-walking to daycare and dog-sitting as well. I myself am a dog-owner, I have had my soul dog, for fifteen years up until we had to say our goodbyes and he departed to the rainbow bridge but still my love for dogs continues to grow immensely! I have a new friend at home, his name is Kylo! But, I hope you will allow me to spend some time with your four-legged friend or friends even. Thanks! :) I am currently off-season with my teaching job with plenty of morning/afternoon/evening time to dog-sit and drop-in on your lovely pet! Walks too! Don’t hesitate to reach out and ask if I am available :~) I will gladly respond in an efficient time manner and spend whatever time I have with your furry friend !! I live in an average-sized house with plenty of fenced-in yard space! I also have a furry friend of my own who is two years old and has the energy of a puppy, who would love to spend as much time as I would with your pet :~)
“Stef was amazing! She sent lots of pictures and kept us updated with our cat. Her having cats of her own, we felt very comfortable having her take care of ours. I would definitely book her again!”
“Gianna has sitted for my babies multiple times. I trust her completely. She’s gone out of her way to help me with the dogs and things at my home while I was away. So glad I found her!”
“Samantha is professional, polite, responsive and very easy to work with. She provides excellent care for all of our animals, especially our diabetic cat with a high thyroid that requires extra attention! We are very thankful to have Samantha help care for our animals when we need. If you are looking for a high quality pet sitter look no further!”
About: I have cared for animals since I was a child and have loved every second of it. Volunteering at a nature center and caring for the animals there was my passion. I have fostered many litters of kittens before and found them amazing homes. I have also boarded several dogs in my home and dog sit regularly for 3 families at their homes. All dog breeds and cats are welcome with me! I have a 12 year old Pomeranian and 4 year old cat currently living with me. I love to play and go on nice walks and I would love to meet your furry friend too! Im available on weekends for boarding and during the week as well. I work from home but still have plenty of free time to care for your beloved companion. I can easily crate your dog if needed and have a very friendly cat to keep them company. I have a backyard and a quiet private road where we can go on as many walks as they may need.
About: My background in canine care began at the Little Shelter Animal Adoption Center in Huntington, NY in 2008. I was employed there for several years as a dog walker and socializer, working with a wide variety of dogs and puppies from many different walks of life. All of the dogs were rescues, and so special care needed to be provided, with exercise, playtime, feeding, and even medication distribution. After working at the shelter, I found myself at a few local grooming parlors, working as a bather. As you've probably experienced, most dogs do not love being bathed and groomed, and so I would try my very best to make them comfortable in the unfamiliar situation they were in, taking the time to check in on them frequently and give them lots of reassurance and loving. Patience goes a long way! In January of 2015 I had my first two-month long house and pet sitting job. However, since then I've been working a full time office job and have been unable to enjoy much time with canine companions. I will regularly pet sit for close friends and family, but I'm ready to spend more time around furry friends! I'd love to meet you and your pup and ensure that they're properly taken care of and loved while you're out on the weekend, working, or away on vacation! I'm currently working part-time, with a very flexible schedule, so there's a good chance I'll be able to accommodate your scheduling needs! Reach out to me with any questions. I have two cats at who are cautious of other animals, so I'm happy to care for your pet in your home! I'd love to learn about your pet's routine and preferences to provide them the best care possible.
“Suzanne is amazing with dogs ! She has two rescues of her own and makes every dog feel comfortable. She knows how to handle dogs with extreme anxiety like mine. Will be using her again when I go on vacation.”

Pet parents share their Rover experiences - Hauppauge
I couldn’t be happier with the care Summer received! From the very first moment they met, Summer felt comfortable, happy, and excited to be with her. They had such a wonderful connection right away, which gave me so much peace of mind. Throughout the entire week, Summer was incredibly well cared for. She had plenty of playtime, received lots of love, attention, and affection, and I could tell she felt safe and happy the whole time. It was clear that she was treated like part of the family, not just as a pet. I truly appreciated the updates, the patience, and the genuine care she showed. Knowing that Summer was in such loving hands made all the difference. I would absolutely trust her again and highly recommend her to anyone looking for someone reliable, kind, and compassionate to care for their furry family member. Thank you for taking such amazing care of my sweet Summer!
Molly is prompt, kind and a true cat lover. She was sensitive to my needs as well as Priscilla’s. This was important to me because it was my first time having a cat sitter. She is flexible and willing to accommodate small changes in the schedule. I would definitely hire her again.
my goodness I cannot recommend Taylor enough. She was amazing with pup and just so sweet! She kept me updated during each visit with texts and photos, which was such a relief. Not only was she fantastic with caring for my dog (who is large and can be hard to handle) but she even brought him special turkey treats for thanksgiving 🥹 Having someone who I can actually trust to watch my dog is so important to me and i can absolutely trust taylor. She really treated my dog like he was her own baby, I can’t recommend her enough!!!

Frequently asked questions about Rover
The average cost of Pet Sitting in Hauppauge is $24 per visit as of November 2026. Most bookings cost between $18 and $36 per visit. 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 November 2026, there are 8,431 sitters on Rover offering Pet Sitting across Hauppauge. Enter your ZIP code to see which available sitters are closest to your home.
You and your sitter can agree on a care schedule that fits your pet’s routine and the sitter’s availability. Pet Sitting can be booked as a one-time or recurring drop-in visit. If you need overnight care or dog walks, you may also be able to book House Sitting or Dog Walking through Rover with the same sitter, provided they offer those services.
Before booking, confirm:
- the timing, length, and frequency of visits;
- the care instructions the sitter should follow;
- which parts of your pet’s usual routine should be prioritized;
- how often you would like to receive messages, photos, or other updates.
Not every sitter offers the same services, availability, or booking options. Review their profile and discuss the care you need through Rover before booking each service.
If you would like updates while you’re away, you can discuss with your sitter how many or how frequent you’d like those updates to be. The Rover app allows sitters to send photos, videos, and messages about your pet, including how many pee or poop breaks occurred. You can message your sitter at any time through the app and our support team is available 24/7 by email or chat if you have concerns.
The personalized, in-home nature of pet care through Rover can mean more individual attention for your pet.
Many pet parents provide a spare key or arrange a lockbox. You can also exchange keys during the Meet & Greet and show your walker how to use digital fobs or personalized codes. It helps to arrange access to your home, from spare keys to concierge introductions, before pet care begins.
If you live in an apartment or condo, don’t forget to discuss details like buzzer access, codes, or elevator etiquette. These details can help a pet sitter feel more comfortable going in and out of your building.
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.
Yes, you can find sitters who have experience with handling special pet needs in Hauppauge. On Rover:
- 85% of sitters can help with special care needs
- 88% can help with giving oral medications or injections
- 94% 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.
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 Meet & Greet.
sitters on Rover set their own cancellation policy, 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.
