“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.”

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.

“Keoma truly is magic, I'm half-convinced I came back from vacation to a different cat. My previously touch-resistant cat is now a cuddle monster! Keoma did a wonderful job taking care of my princess, and the house was spotless and untouched. She even managed to do some houseplant care, and finally got the collar on my cat that we've been struggling to do for months! She truly is a rockstar.”

About: Throughout my life, I’ve had multiple animals. My uncle had a dog name Kane, I cared for on the weekends as a kid. Then my two shih tzu, milo and meko that were passed from my grandmother when she could no longer care for them. I also adopted a calico from the streets named Iris when I was in my junior year of high school, who turned out to be pregnant and I am now blessed to have her, Along with Oreo and waffles. Each animal has a specific feeding schedule, medication, and walking schedule( ironically the cats as well, but that’s if they let me). I’m also attending college to now become a veterinarian or just work along side animals in some way, so I use this and the training I already have to give me that sort of boost. It’s not a problem at all, as I mentioned I have a house full of animals, so when you love them like family, there no burden at all. Anytime at all is fine, as love as I’m aware because I also have school and work. I go over the basics of the animals age, diet, any special medication, or any exercises and needs the animal is currently going through. I’ve dealt with cats who’ve need to take crushed pills twice a day, along with a dog who was only fed raw so they needed a special diet and their supplements.

About: Hi, I'm Lauren! I've always had a genuine love for animals and grew up caring for my own dog of many years. I've been around animals all my life, including the pets of friends, family, and neighbors, and I've continued gaining experience caring for animals ever since. That includes multi-day stays with my uncle's dog as well as multiple sitting sessions for my mother's co-worker's dog. I'm comfortable with feeding, walking, playtime, and providing attentive, compassionate care while respecting each animal's individual boundaries and personality. As a lifelong animal lover, I bring patience, reliability, and authentic affection to every visit. I want to provide that care for you and your family, with no stress, so you can always know your pet is in good hands. I look forward to giving your pet the same care, attention, and love I would want for my own! I'm a recent nursing graduate and licensed RN, and I'm currently building my nursing career while offering pet care as a way to stay active and do something I truly enjoy. I have a flexible schedule with plenty of availability, so I can give your pet consistent, attentive care and respond efficiently to your needs!

About: Hi, I’m Ruth. I’m the kind of sitter who treats your dog like family. I focus on calm, steady care, clear communication, and making sure your pup feels safe, understood, and genuinely loved while you’re away. I work with all temperaments, from shy rescues to high energy pups who need structure and play. I pay close attention to body language, routines, and comfort cues so your dog settles in quickly. I offer walks, potty breaks, overnight care in your home, medication support, and gentle training reinforcement. I send real time updates with photos and notes so you always know how your dog is doing. I keep things simple and dog centered. I follow your routines closely, maintain a calm environment, and make sure your pup gets the right mix of exercise, affection, and downtime. If you want someone reliable, communicative, and genuinely invested in your dog’s wellbeing, I’m here. Pet care fits naturally into my daily and weekly routine because I already structure my time around steady check ins, feeding schedules, enrichment, and quiet companionship. I plan my mornings and evenings with space for visits, walks, and updates, and I keep my afternoons flexible for longer stays or extra attention when a pet needs it. Caring for animals is part of the rhythm of my week, and I move through it with calm consistency so every pet feels supported. I care for pets in a way that keeps them comfortable and grounded, whether I am in my home or my client’s home. I follow routines closely, keep feeding and water schedules consistent, maintain clean litter or potty areas, and move with a calm presence so animals stay relaxed. I spend time observing their comfort cues and adjust my pace to match their needs, offering play, affection, or quiet companionship. When pets stay with me, I create a safe and cozy space that supports their habits and give them steady attention throughout the day. I send updates with photos and notes so owners always feel connected to their pet’s experience.

About: With over 27 years of hands-on experience in animal care, I have dedicated much of my life to nurturing, raising, and understanding the needs of a wide variety of animals. From a young age, I was immersed in environments that required consistent, compassionate care for pets, developing a deep-rooted passion and natural intuition for animal welfare. Throughout the years, I’ve gained extensive experience in feeding, grooming, administering basic medications, and observing animal behavior for signs of distress or illness. My approach is always centered around patience, empathy, and attention to individual needs—ensuring that every animal in my care feels safe, loved, and well-cared for. I currently have a beloved fur baby of my own, who receives the highest standard of care and attention. This personal commitment reflects the level of dedication I bring to all animals under my supervision. Whether it’s routine care or emotional comfort, I pride myself on creating a nurturing and structured environment for every animal. As a lifelong animal lover and experienced caregiver, pets are an integral part of my everyday life. My home is not just a place for my own beloved fur baby—it's a welcoming, safe, and nurturing environment for any pet in my care. Because of my personal commitment to animal well-being, I’m home the majority of the time, which allows me to provide constant supervision, companionship, and routine check-ins throughout the day. When boarding with me, your pet will experience a comfortable, secure, and engaging home environment—both indoors and outdoors. Inside, pets enjoy a cozy, climate-controlled space where they are treated like family. I maintain a clean and organized home, with designated pet-friendly areas for rest, play, and feeding. Whether your fur baby prefers quiet time or interactive play, I tailor the indoor experience to meet their individual needs, including any special care routines or accommodations. Outdoors, your pet will have access to a fully fenced-in yard—perfect for safe exploration, exercise, and fresh air. The space is ideal for dogs who love to run, play fetch, or simply lounge in the sun. Supervised outdoor time is incorporated into the daily routine, ensuring plenty of opportunities for physical activity and mental stimulation. In addition, I have a friendly, well-socialized dog who can serve as a playful companion if your pet enjoys the company of others. However, I also understand that not all pets are social butterflies, and I am fully prepared to keep them separated to ensure a calm and stress-free environment for everyone. Whether your pet thrives on companionship or prefers their own space, I adapt to what makes them most comfortable and secure.

FAQs for House Sitting - Hewlett Neck

Frequently asked questions about Rover

As of October 2026, there are 18,374 sitters on Rover offering House Sitting across Hewlett Neck. 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 Hewlett Neck 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 Hewlett Neck 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 Hewlett Neck 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 .

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.
