“Sara was awesome with my kitty Wilson! She sent me lots of pictures and updates throughout her stay. I could tell he was getting so much love! Our apartment was clean upon our arrival home and Wilson was one happy camper. I highly recommend Sara!”
“Tonya was a fantastic sitter for our 2 senior dogs. She was incredibly responsive providing daily updates and photos and gave the dogs so much love and care while we were away. We will absolutely be using her again for our dog sitting needs!”
“Hannah was so great! She helped me out last minute and even squeezed in time to come meet Paxton before staying with him. She had good communication and left the house just as we had left it! :)”
About: I’m dependable, loving, and attentive, treating every pet like my own. I’m patient with puppies, gentle with seniors, and dedicated to keeping every pet happy, comfortable, safe, and cared for. I work mostly nights so I will be able to walk or take care of animals all throughout the day! I can do anything before 3! I take my cats very seriously, if there is any sign of anything I’m immediately take them to the vet, I feed them twice a day with a mixture of wet and dry food and some probiotics! And I play with them for at least an hour a day!
About: I’ve been caring for animals since I was 16, from cats to a whole slew of dogs, all with their own personalities and needs! Over the years, I’ve helped families by feeding, walking, playing, and even taking their fur babies on little adventures. I understand how busy life can get, and I genuinely enjoy filling in those gaps when pet parents need an extra hand. My goal is always to make sure their babies feel loved, comfortable, and cared for, even when their favorite humans are away! It’s good to know the expectations and schedule so that I know how best to care for your fur baby! I work full-time during the week, but I have some flexibility in my schedule! Afternoons, evenings, and nights work best for me, and I also have weekend availability. I do my best to accommodate different schedules and communicate ahead of time to make sure your fur babies receive the care and attention they deserve! I am a firm believer that animals are just babies and senior citizens wrapped in fur, and they deserve ALL the love, patience, and attention in the world! I absolutely adore dogs and cats, and I am definitely the person who gets excited to see the animal before acknowledging its owner (sorry in advance!). Unfortunately, I can’t have pets in my own home right now, which makes every opportunity to love on someone else’s fur babies even more special! I genuinely consider it an honor to be trusted with a member of someone’s family. Whether it’s walks, playtime, belly rubs, or simply keeping them company, I enjoy it all! Every animal has its own personality, boundaries, and needs, and I’m happy to meet them where they are. Your babies get all the love and care they deserve, and I get some much-needed animal time in return. It’s a win-win!
“Emmeline a was very flexible with scheduling and I was pleased to see how much she enjoyed my dogs. They all have their quirks and she was very cool with their personalities. I got lots of updates and photos, but best of all if anything weird happened in the house (like a gate breaking outside or packages arriving) she was quick to communicate and try to make things work. Thank you so much Emmeline!”
“This was our first time using Rover for house sitting. Tara was prompt at responding and made us feel comfortable from the first moment! She made time to come over and meet my two dogs before my husband and I went out of town and made sure she had all the information she needed for a successful weekend. While we were gone Tara remained in touch and sent us lots of pictures to show the dogs were having fun and doing well. My pups had a blast playing with Tara while we were gone and she did a wonderful job caring for them as if they were her own! I will definitely be rebooking with her in the future!”
“OMG! Jennifer was amazing. I’m always nervous leaving my dog behind, especially because he can be a little naughty. Fortunately, Jennifer took amazing care of our pets and home while we were out of town. She also sent multiple updates and photos throughout the stay, which was very comforting. Pabu, Bo, and Louie loved their time with Jennifer and we are so thankful for her services!!!”
“James was phenomenal. Can't say more than enough. Our cat and senior dog were very well cared for. Our cat, is normally mad when I leave even for work and will hide in response but when we arrived home, he happily greeted us. Even funnier, as we settled in for the night, our dog came out lookong for him, and we know exactly where he sat because he went to that spot, sniffed around and settled there as if he was waiting for him to come back. It was very sweet and we were touched and comforted by that display (our dog normally sticks to my son when he's home). We will absolutely ask him to sit again when the need arises. Thank you 1000 times over.”
“Tristan did an amazing job caring for our four pups! It was clear they were happy, relaxed, and well cared for while we were away. He kept us updated with plenty of photos and thoughtful stories about our fur babies, which gave us so much peace of mind and made us feel connected to them the entire time. We returned to a clean home and four very happy dogs. We would gladly trust Tristan with our pups again!”
“My dog has a lot of anxiety around new people but she was very comfortable very quickly with Julia who did a great job of taking care of my pup. She went out of her way to come early in order to meet the dog and get an idea of her routine and communicated really well with me. I would 100% book with Julia again.”
“Grace was a lovely dog sitter!! We felt so comfortable leaving our dogs with her. She provided tons of photos and updates and we could tell she is a genuine dog lover and took really good care of them. We will definitely be using her again!”
About: As a lifelong dog lover and experienced foster dog mom, I understand how important it is to find someone you can trust with your furry family members! I have hands-on experience caring for dogs of different ages, sizes, breeds, and personalities, including rescue dogs who need extra patience and reassurance while adjusting to new environments. Through fostering, I’ve gained experience with crate training, establishing routines, leash walking, enrichment activities, administering basic care, and helping dogs build confidence. I’m also a proud dog mom to Lola, my 10-year-old Maltese/Cocker Spaniel mix, who has taught me the importance of understanding each dog’s unique personality and needs. My experience as a pediatric physical therapist has strengthened my patience, attention to detail, communication skills, and ability to provide compassionate, individualized care. Whether your dog loves long walks, playtime, or simply relaxing on the couch, I’ll make sure they feel safe, comfortable, and loved while you’re away. I also understand how reassuring it is to receive updates, so I’m happy to share pictures and messages throughout their stay! My goal is to treat every dog like family and give you peace of mind knowing they’re in caring hands. ❤️🐾 I currently work full time Monday through Thursday but I am available Thursday evenings through Sunday nights. I am available during holidays. Please contact me for special requests. Your dog’s safety and comfort are my top priorities! I provide a clean, comfortable, and loving home where pets can feel safe and relaxed. I have a fenced in yard. I always supervise outdoor time and make sure dogs are secure when entering or leaving the house. Safety is especially important during walks. I always use secure leashes and properly fitted collars or harnesses, stay aware of my surroundings, and avoid busy roads or potentially unsafe situations. I never allow dogs off-leash in unsecured areas and tailor walks to each dog’s age, energy level, and physical abilities.
About: I have had dogs and cared for animals my whole life! I currently have 6 dogs in my home, so I know how much love, attention, and care they need. I truly love being around animals and making sure they feel safe, happy, and loved while their owners are away. I’m responsible, patient, and will treat your pets just like they are my own! 🐾 I currently work part-time in healthcare and work every other weekend. I will also be attending Trident Technical College in the fall for nursing. Even with my busy schedule, caring for animals is something I truly enjoy and make time for. I have availability during the week and on the weekends I am not working, and I would love the opportunity to give your pets the love, attention, and care they deserve! I have always been around animals and understand how important it is for pets to feel safe, comfortable, and loved. I will make sure your fur baby gets lots of attention, playtime, and care while you’re away. I’m happy to follow any routines, feeding instructions, or special needs your pet may have!
About: I’ve gained experience the last few years in taking care of our German Shepherd, Luna and sweet kitty, Cookie! I always dog sit for friends when they’re out of town and I’ve learned how to give pills to dogs. One of my friend’s dogs has allergy problems and has to take pills for it, so she had to teach me how to do that. I love playing fetch and taking dogs on walks! I also wouldn’t mind giving your dog a bath (or taking him/her to the pet store to bathe them there!). Feel free to message me with any questions you might have! I am available every day after 4:00 and every weekend as needed. I have a flexible schedule and have a good amount of free time. I will make sure your animal or animals get the care they need and make sure they are well taken care of no matter what!
“We are thrilled with the job Megan did taking care of our doggies. She was attentive and caring and made us feel at ease from the first time we met. Our dogs are our “babies” and it’s hard to leave them but we didn’t worry a bit about them knowing Megan was there. She sent photos and updates which we appreciated. Would definitely want to have her back again.”
“Grace did a great job taking care of our dog and two cats! It was a last minute booking and she was very accommodating with my schedule and still managing to come over and meet our fur babies ahead of time!”
About: Pets are family. I want you to feel comfortable and your family to feel comfortable. I will text you with updates and send the cutest pictures. I recently graduated college and moved back to the Summerville area. I do work about five days a week, but I never work more than an eight hour shift. In my free time, I am completely free and all of my attention goes to the pet I am sitting. I will make your pet feel as comfortable as possible. Hang out with them and play as much as they want. Give them the rubs and scratches they want!
About: Currently stay at home mom. Previous elementary teacher. 2 dog mom. Responsible. Excellent communicator. Let me know if I can help you and your pets! 🐕🦺🐾🦴 I’m currently a stay at home mom so I have a lot of flexibility. Please let me know your schedule needs to see if we are a good fit! I’m an extremely responsible individual with previous elementary classroom experience. I have my own two dogs as well as a one year old. I would promise to take good care of your pups.
About: I have been walking dogs since I was 12 years old. I have also been dog sitting since I was in high school. I have dog sat for friends, family, employers, and specifically dog sitting clients. I have experience spending overnights in the owner’s homes caring for their beloved pets, including feeding and bathing dogs. I also have experience fostering puppies, which I do for a local animal shelter. I also have owned dogs for most of my life and enjoy spending time with them. I currently work full-time, but I will have plenty of time on the weekends for boarding, walking, playing, and caring for your loving animals. I am also open to doing weekdays/nights if your pets are house trained for me to be able attend work. This would include long morning walks before and after my workday. I have a fenced in yard and I also have two of my own friendly dogs that could keep your pet comfortable, or if you would prefer my dogs can go to their grandmothers and your dog can have the house to themselves. I have a “dog room” set up in my house, which includes protective flooring for accidental messes, a dog friendly couch, and camera monitoring system. It is also gated. I also have the ability to crate your loving pet if needed. I have an xl crate, so you wouldn’t need to bring one. In a client’s home, I am very respectful of your space and always clean up after myself. You will often return home with washed linens and tidied space. I will abide by any rules you set and am always easily able to get in touch with during my stay in your home. I provide daily photo/video updates of your fur baby.

Frequently asked questions about Rover
As of October 2026, there are 1,577 sitters on Rover offering House Sitting across Jericho. 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 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.
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 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.
