About: I have a genuine love for animals and enjoy spending time caring for them. I understand that every pet has a unique personality and different needs. I am patient, responsible, and attentive, and I always strive to make pets feel safe, comfortable and loved. Whether it’s feeding, walking, playing or providing companionship, I treat every pet with the same love and attention I would give my own. I’m currently a second year medical student with a mostly remote schedule, which gives me plenty of flexibility to provide attentive and loving care for your pets. Since I spend much of my time studying from home, I’m able to offer frequent potty breaks, walks, playtime, and lots of companionship throughout the day. I enjoy having animals beside me while I study and can easily incorporate their needs into my daily routine. Your dog’s safety, comfort, and happiness are my top priorities. I understand how important it is to leave your animals with someone you can trust. Whether caring for your dogs in my home or yours, I will provide a clean, calm, loving and safe environment. I carefully follow feeding schedules, walking routines and any special instructions provided by the owner.
“Kristen took great care of my 9 year old Shepard mix. Our pup is super anxious during this time of year, during the summer storms, and Kristen was able to comfort her and was great with communication and sent videos and pictures! Looking forward to having her back soon!”
About: I've been surrounded by dogs/cats my whole life and currently have 2 dogs & 1 cat of my own. I volunteer for animal rescue groups and have always wanted to work in an animal related field. I am a certified dog trainer through Petco & Petsmart therefore, I am educated on the characteristics/behavioral tendencies of each breed & familiar as to what they require. I strive to make each four legged pal feel comfortable with me as well. Making each animal feel like they are my own is important to me so they receive the love, attention and care that they need. I've pet sat at my home as well as others homes. I've also had all types of experiences with dogs/cats so I know how to control a bad situation. I have open availability and am very flexible.

Your pets safety and comfortably is my number 1 priority. If you have any special request or accommodations, that is no problem. Please don’t be shy!
“Michelle has house sat for us twice. She’s very communicative, organized and very considerate of our 2 cats and 2 dogs. Our dogs are rescues who require regular medications and are high maintenance. Michelle did a great job and we are grateful!”
About: Hi, I’m Gianna! I'm a passionate second year vet student with hands-on experience in emergency vet med and general practice. I’ve worked in vet clinics and have two amazing rescue dogs of my own! I’m here to provide loving, knowledgeable, and reliable care for your furry friends. Currently I am in school Monday-Friday so my schedule is day-dependent; however, I am more than happy to work with you to go over dates/times you are looking for services to best accommodate you and your pet(s)! Your pet’s safety and comfort are my top priorities! With my experience in both emergency and general veterinary settings, I take every precaution to ensure your pet is safe, happy, and stress-free. I’ll care for them as if they were my own, offering plenty of love, attention, and patience while following the same safety measures used by vet staff. Whether it’s administering medications, monitoring their well-being, or simply making sure they feel comfortable in their own home, you can trust that your pet is in experienced, caring hands.
About: I am passionate about having happy pets and Pet Parents. I would treat each dog as if they were my own. My two fur babies include two ShihZu/terrior mixes Rugby and Veuve. Having my own dogs helps me understand on a personal level the type of care each pet parent would want for their family member. In my experience I have dog sat for a puppy Doodle for a family friend named Allison , an older Doodle named Bryland owned by my friend Ryan also for a puppy named Molly who needed supervision after a medical procedure . All would attest that their dogs were very well taken care of.I also have experience with walking dogs at a local animal shelter Save A Pet. I also helped care for cats there as well.
“Brandon did a fantastic job watching over our pets. It couldn’t have went any better. He was able to give our kitten the special attention she needed with her daily medications.”
“Carina was very accommodating and caring when taking care of my dog Lexi. She communicates well throughout the day and sent pictures. I feel comfortable leaving Lexi alone with her.”
“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.”
“To say Michael was outstanding would be an understatement!! He was punctual, responsive, communicative, competent, interested, capable and much more!! I would more than recommend Michael! Lynn and Marty”
“Jordan took incredible care of our dog Higgy while we had a night out. Jordan was wonderful about sending us regular updates, photos, and videos to keep our mind at ease that Higgy was in good hands. We would absolutely recommend Jordan to anyone looking for a skilled, kind, and attentive dog sitter.”
About: My first job was as a dog walker when I was 12! I have grown up with cats and dogs - caring for them from puppies/kittens through to their golden years. I have also dog/house sat for a large rescue + their several senior cats! My goal is to get to know each pet I interact with so that me and your pet can enjoy our time together. Furry friends are family and I treat them as such. I have also volunteered at 2 different rescues over the past several years helping care for cats as well as walk and play with dogs of all ages. I am currently finishing my last year of medical school so my schedule is not completely free. However, I do typically have evenings, weekends, and a random day off during the week! I get my current schedule 1 month at a time and am happy to accommodate outside my scheduled hospital shifts. I am very respectful of others rules for their home and their pets. I am a tidy person who hates messes in my own home so wouldn't leave them in anyone else's.
About: Hi! I’m Cassandra, a caring, reliable, and experienced dog lover who has grown up caring for dogs and understands how much love, patience, and attention they need. I currently have a 6-year-old Bichon Shih Tzu who is a big part of my family, so I’m very comfortable with daily walks, playtime, cuddles, and keeping a pup happy and comfortable. I’ll treat your dog with the same care and affection I give my own, while making sure every walk and sit is safe, fun, and stress-free! 🐾 if you are happy with my services, tips are greatly appreciated. I work part time in Huntington. I work Tuesday through Friday in office and Thursday’s remote, 10-4 Weekends are free, and Mondays I am off. I am very personable with animals and their parents. I take a lot of time and care into my work with pets and people, and their homes too.
“This was the second time that Valerie stayed over at my house to take care of Teddy. The first time, when she had taken care of Teddy and my brother's dog Leelu, she inspired confidence from the beginning, since she obviously loves animals and is very friendly. I know that our dogs were not bored being with Valerie! Valerie was 100% responsible with all of the care that she provided to our dogs, and regularly texted us updates with photos while we were away. We were completely right about feeling at ease having Valerie stay over at our house alone. Both times, Valerie arrived punctually, which is great because we were leaving the house in a rush on both ocassions to go to weddings! We couldn't have asked for a more awesome dog sitter! THANK YOU SO MUCH VALERIE!!”
About: As a dog mom, I understand how important it is to find someone you can trust with your furry family. I’m patient, attentive, and love spending time with dogs, whether we’re going for walks, playing, or enjoying some company. I’ll follow your pet’s routine and care instructions closely, and send photos and updates so you can feel comfortable while you’re away. My goal is to help your dog feel safe, loved, and happy! Im currently working on the morning, 6– 1pm so after that I am more than happy and likely to work with the babies dogs haha Your pet’s safety and comfort are my priority. I’ll follow your instructions for feeding, walks, and daily routines, keep your dog securely leashed during walks, and check that doors and gates are closed. I’ll respect your home, give your pet plenty of attention, and send photos and updates so you know how they’re doing.
“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!”
“So grateful for Charlee, who provided last-minute coverage for my cat, Bowie. She provided clear updates and photos throughout the trip, which put my mind at ease, and Bowie seemed happy and well cared for when I got home! She even brought in one of my packages and kept the apartment very clean. I’d absolutely book with her again. Thank you, Charlee!”

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 Jericho 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 Jericho 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 Jericho 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.
