About: Owned dogs since I was a child, Chesapeake Bay Retriever, Irish Red & White Setter and a Chihuahua. Experienced with golden doodles and labs. Currently getting my pilots Licence’s and enjoy reading books I’m currently time building for my commercial Licence whenever the weather is good around 5 hours a day when possible. Usually busy at night around 5-8ish otherwise free. I have a tall fenced in yard where I play with my dog or walk him around my neighborhood. Otherwise he sits with me while I study or read.
About: Hi! I am an experienced pet sitter with over 10 years of animal experience. I studied animal science as an undergrad and will be starting veterinary school this winter. I have also worked in veterinary clinics over the past few years, providing me with experience in administering medications and providing care for animals with specific needs. I am comfortable caring for animals of all ages, shapes, and sizes! I'm a fairly active person who loves the outdoors, so I am always up for long walks or simply playing in the yard. I have some extra time before starting veterinary school, so I have a very flexible schedule that I am looking forward to filling with your furry family members! I currently have a very flexible schedule before I begin veterinary school this winter, so I have plenty of availability for walks, drop-in visits, and house sitting. I’m happy to work with your schedule and provide consistent, reliable care for your pets throughout the week, including weekends. Your pet’s safety and comfort are my top priorities. With my experience in veterinary clinics and animal care, I’m comfortable administering medications, following specific care instructions, and recognizing when a pet may need extra attention. I’ll treat your home and your pets with the same care and respect I would my own, and I’ll always keep you updated with photos and messages while you’re away.
“Jessica was great at communicating, responded very quickly and sent us lots of updates which we appreciated very much. We came home to happy tired dogs. Would definitely hire again!”
“We are so grateful for the care Andrea gave to our dog, cat, and home. After two nights away, we returned to very happy animals and a very clean home. Andrea provided great photo updates, and she was very kind and responsible. We will absolutely call Andrea for pet sitting again!”
“We couldn’t have asked for anyone better than Lissette at taking such great care of our “kids” and house while we were away! Such peace of mind and can’t wait to use her again!”
About: Hi! I’m a dog lover with hands-on experience as a dog bather, sitter, and walker. I’ve worked with all kinds of dogs, from high-energy puppies to sweet senior dogs—so I’m comfortable adjusting to whatever your dog needs. What sets me apart is how much I genuinely care. I treat every dog like my own, whether that means getting their energy out on a fun walk or giving them a calm, gentle experience. I’m patient, attentive, and experienced with different personalities, and I always make sure your dog feels safe, happy, and loved. I am openly available to be of service to you and your pets any day of the week any time! Weekdays, weekends, holidays, overnights and more. I care for pets in their own home by keeping their routine as normal and stress-free as possible. I follow all instructions closely, including feeding schedules, litter box or potty breaks, walks, playtime, and any medications if needed. I make sure pets get plenty of attention, comfort, and supervision while respecting their space and personality—whether they’re playful and social or more shy and independent. I also keep the home clean, secure, and provide regular updates so you know your pet is safe and happy while you’re away.
“Stephanie is was great with Abby. She kept me updated at all times. Abby really enjoyed her company and I could not be more happy. I recommend her she is amazing and even fed my pet goldfish!”
“Evelna was excellent. Our two large dogs were well cared for and loved. She was able to help us on short notice and was even able to take our dogs on a walk. She kept us updated on how they were doing with cute photos. Our dogs loved her and we will definitely try to book her in the future.”
About: Hi! I cant remember a time where my house wasn’t more populated with animals than people (and there were always 10+ people living in my house growing up, so you can only imagine the animals). I’ve cared for dogs and cats from infancy to seniority and am familiar with handling all kinds of daily challenges. I’m currently living on Long Island, and I work at a restaurant that provides a lot of flexibility, which leaves me available for plenty of time with the animals :) I’ll provide top-notch care for your beloved pets from your own home. From regular walks to playtime, and all the essentials, i’ll make sure your pet feels comfortable and loved. I’ll stick to their routine, if any, and keep things neat. You and your pet will have a stress free experience, and you can relax knowing they’re in good hands.
About: I've had dogs my whole life, so caring for them comes as naturally to me as anything. When I got my puppy four years ago, I dedicated myself fully to his training and development, spending every day with him through those early months to make sure he grew into the happy, well-behaved dog he is today. I also have experience with the more challenging side of pet care. My older dog had diabetes, and I spent a great deal of time managing his condition, administering medication daily, and making sure his final years were as comfortable and loving as possible. It taught me a lot about patience, attentiveness, and caring for pets with special medical needs. Beyond my own dogs, I've spent years babysitting, walking, and watching dogs for friends and neighbors. Animals have always been drawn to me, as I have a natural calm with them that puts even shy or anxious pets at ease. While I'm new to Rover, I bring a lifetime of hands-on experience. Whether it's a long walk, a trip to the park, or just cuddling up with their favorite toys, I pour real love into every visit. I understand how much your dog means to you, and I'll treat them like my own every single time. I recently graduated from college and will be starting my Master of Social Work program at NYU in September. I am available all summer and have plenty of time to give your pet the attention they deserve! I'm currently based in Plainview, Long Island, where I'm free and flexible for any and all pet care needs throughout the summer. Come September, I'll be living in New York City, where I'll be available for drop-in visits and walks during the week, and open to extended stays on weekends. Whether you're on Long Island or in the city, I'd love to help care for your pup! Your pet's safety and comfort are always my top priority. I have experience both crating and not crating dogs, so I'm happy to follow whatever routine works best for your pup. If needed, I can crate them safely when stepping out, or leave them with a frozen treat and a favorite toy to keep them calm and comfortable, especially if they experience separation anxiety, as my own dog does! I tailor every visit to the individual dog. Whether your pup needs a long, energetic walk or a short and easy stroll, I'll follow their lead. I'm always attentive on walks, making sure they don't pick up anything harmful off the street, and equally watchful in the home to keep them safe and out of trouble. Most importantly, your dog will never be short on love. I'll give them all the pets, cuddles, and attention they could ever want because I truly love animals!!
“Cassidy took great care of our dog Scooby, who is a 100 pound German shepherd. She spent the night in our house with him, took him out multiple times a day, fed and played with him, while sending us pictures and keeping us updated throughout our entire trip. Scooby never had a sitter before but Cassidy made him feel comfortable the entire time. We arrived home to a happy and healthy boy. We would absolutely recommend Cassidy and hope to use her again in the future!”
“Trisha graciously watched my 2 older dogs at the last minute in my home. She was an amazing houseguest, and was incredible with my visually impaired dog who requires various daily medications. My other grumpy dog took to Trisha immediately, which is remarkable as he can be stingy with his affection. Thank you Trisha and we all look forward to seeing you again soon.❤️”
“Kelsey was FANTASTIC, FABULOUS and very loving to our Pom, Shorty. Kelsey was on time and prepared to take care of our dog. Kudos to Kelsey. We have no reservations whatsoever in recommending Kelsey for any sitting job she may want to take, any time. Truly a find for Rover ! Rover, make sure no one steals her from you !”
About: I have grown up around both dogs and cats-our family pets included Rottweilers, German Shepards, and smaller mixed dogs as well. We had both cats and dogs that I took care of. I worked at the humane society for four years caring for and socializing pets there. I currently have two dogs (one with anxiety issues) and two cats. I have pet sat for friends and families, including puppies. I currently work remote so my schedule during the week is flexible. I am happy to spend time with pets and don’t mind long walks out in the cold. I can stay with your pet when needed and will care for them as specified. I can be flexible on timing and care needs for your pets.
About: I’ve had my furry pet for 12 years before she crossed the rainbow bridge last year. I have cared about pets to a more deeper and emotional extent since I had her. I would love to spread all the joy and tenderness to another pet whenever I get the chance to. I am flexible the most during weekends and two days during the week. Pet care fits into my schedule best and I will be down to accept any gigs that will allow me to be flexible. I am very attentive when it comes to my pets needs and I do my best to keep them entertained. I make their day to day look slightly different to enhance entertainment and excitement.
About: Hello, my name is Anna, and I’m a dedicated and experienced dog caregiver with a lifelong passion for animals. Over the years, I’ve had the privilege of owning and caring for three wonderful dogs—a Bichon Frise, a Lab mix, and a Pitbull—each of whom taught me something unique about loyalty, love, and responsibility. My Experience I have hands-on experience managing all aspects of dog ownership, including training, daily walks, vet appointments, and all related care expenses. I'm comfortable with dogs of all breeds and sizes and am confident handling multiple dogs at once. Whether it’s a high-energy pup or a gentle senior, I tailor my care to each dog’s individual needs. I work full-time, but pet care is a meaningful part of my life and something I make time for. I’m available for evening walks, weekend dog sitting, and flexible drop-ins. Caring for animals brings me joy, and I always ensure they get the attention and love they deserve, no matter how busy life gets. In my home, pets stay in a safe, clean, and loving environment with plenty of attention, playtime, and care. I follow their usual routine to help them feel at ease. In a client’s home, I respect your space and stick to your pet’s schedule—feeding, walking, and giving them the love and attention they’re used to. Wherever your pet is, I care for them like they’re my own.

Pet parents share their Rover experiences - Huntington Bay
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.,,,,,,,,
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!

FAQs for House Sitting - Huntington Bay
Frequently asked questions about Rover
The average cost for House Sitting in Huntington Bay on Rover is $43.29 per night (as of August 2026). However, all sitters set their own rates based on experience, location, and availability.
Rover makes budgeting the cost of House Sitting easy. As long as your dates and pet profiles are correct, the price you see before you book is the same price you pay for House Sitting. For more information on service fees, click here .
As of August 2026, there are 13,759 sitters on Rover offering House Sitting across Huntington Bay. 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 Huntington Bay 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 Huntington Bay 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 Huntington Bay 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 Rover Guarantee , 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 Rover's Trust & Safety page .
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 short introductory meeting between you, your pet, and a sitter. It can take place in person or virtually, although we recommend in-person so that your pet can get to know your sitter 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. Most pet parents and sitters on Rover welcome Meet & Greets because the process can give confidence and peace of mind for service experiences, especially for longer stays or first-time bookings.
Sitters on Rover set their own cancellation policy, which you can find on their profile under their calendar availability.
Cancelling before a booking begins and before the sitter's cutoff time qualifies you for a full refund. Same-day cancellations for walks, day care, and drop-ins follow the full refund policy. Otherwise, for dog boarding and house sitting, you will receive a 50% refund for the first seven days of the booking and a 100% refund for the remaining days when you cancel the same day a booking should begin.
If your sitter needs to cancel within seven days of the booking's start date, then our reservation protection will kick in. This means our support team works with you to find a replacement sitter.
Yes, you can find sitters who have experience with handling special pet needs in Huntington Bay. On Rover:
- 89% of sitters can help with special care needs
- 93% can help with giving oral medications or injections
- 97% 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.
