About: I've taken care of dogs and cats of all sizes, breeds, and temperaments for over 5 years and it's been one of the most fun jobs I've ever had! It's so rewarding knowing that I can provide a safe, caring, and loving environment for an animal while its owners are away. I am very communicative, detail-oriented, and I take the work seriously while also providing a fun environment for both myself and the pet. I look forward to meeting you and your fur babies! I currently work as an actor and a freelance writer, so my schedule is pretty flexible. My writing work is remote and can be done from anywhere, and the acting work of course only comes when I book a role which I would know about in advance. I am available most days, nights, and weekends! I unfortunately cannot have dogs in my apartment, but I'm happy to overnight sit in a pet owner's home as I have done it numerous times over the years. I always make sure that doors leading outside are kept closed and locked and will make sure to walk into the house/apartment carefully so that no one gets out. I also make sure that leashes and harnesses are put on properly and comfortably before heading out for a walk. I can crate animals if needed and I never leave any food or other items out that could potentially be consumed by the pet. Your pet will always be safe with me!
“what a wonderful first time experience our dogs had with Victoria! she showed her expertise immediately when meeting our two for the first time. our little one (6mos) warmed up to her right away and our older dog (6yrs) would not stop wagging his tail. they were well taken care of while we were out and we received updates and pictures throughout her stay. Victoria has a pleasant personality and is very personable. she is articulate and easy to talk to and truly enjoys taking care of your pets. we highly recommend her to anyone interested in her services and would not hesitate to use her again.”

About: Growing up, family and friends would often trust me with the responsibility of caring for their pets whenever they needed someone. I’ve always had pets of my own as well, usually a cat and a dog or two. My family had Whippets and a Doberman, and throughout my life I’ve also kept fish and the occasional reptile. Animals have always been a big part of my life, and I truly enjoy both the companionship they bring and learning about what makes each pet unique. If you trust me with your pet, I can promise they’ll be cared for and loved as if they were my own. I know how much our pets mean to us, and I’ll treat yours with the same love, patience, and care they deserve. I work a block away from my home. I wake up a few hours before I’m due so I can take care of everyone. I’m home every lunch break for walks and pets then back home about 3 hours after that. My cat always has full reign on the house and my dog has a private bedroom with crate for when I leave. A nice sized fenced in private back yard great makes for a good playtime or potty break.
About: I love all pets as if they were my own! I pay attention to detail and love specific instructions to ensure your pet gets the care they deserve! I am currently work as a Latent Print Examiner for the NYPD 7-3 during the week. Meaning I am only available after 5 pm after work and anytime on the weekends to take care of your furry friends!! I may also be available during holidays as well! I ensure that every animal gets all the attention they deserve! From basic needs like feeding and walking to important medical needs to ensuring they get physical and mental enrichment! I treat all animals with as much respect and care as their human companions.
“Devon was a great sitter for Lacey. Lacey took to her right away at the meet and greet. We were gone on vacation for almost two weeks so it was important for Lacey to be comfortable with her. Devon kept in touch with us and also sent photos of Lacey. She cared for her very well and we would hire her again should the need arise.”

About: Hi I’m Jess! I have been an animal lover my whole life and saw Rover as a wonderful opportunity to meet some cute little friends and help make some extra money to help me out. Pets have always had a special place in my heart and I would love to meet some of yours! I have had many animals throughout my life from various types of fish, bearded dragon, hamsters, guinea pigs, a small dog (shitzu- Maltese who just passed away last year at 16 years old), a bird Connie (sun conure - 10 years old) and 2 cats Jack and Jill (13 years old). Many friends and family have trusted me to care for and love their pets when they need a little extra help. I am a very reliable and loving pet sitter with a pretty open schedule. I am currently working remotely so if you have reliable wifi I can work from your house while caring for your animals. I live in Babylon, but am open to helping out on most of the island if it’s a good fit. I am willing to travel to the city for longer/over night stays as well. Whether you need me for daily dog walks/ feedings, or want to take a nice vacation but need your animals and house looked after - I am your girl. Please let me know if you have any questions or special requests and I will do my best to help you out! I am currently unemployed and looking for a new job after the summer is over so my schedule is pretty free. I primarily live in Babylon, but my spend more than half of my week normally in Long Beach with at my boyfriends house because I play volleyball and have a lot of friends here! So I am open to helping in any nearby neighborhoods. I grew up with many different animals and always treated them with love and affection. I will make sure they are walked on time, get some play/active time, and of course always have food and water. Anything that will make the client and the pet happy :)

About: I have lifelong experience caring for dogs of all ages. With my 12 year old Yorkie and two 2 year old Golden doodle, I understand both senior care and the needs of active, younger pets. I provide loving, patient, and reliable care while treating every pet like my own. Pet care fits naturally into my daily routine. I have a flexible schedule that allows me to provide attention, walks, playtime, and care throughout the day while making sure each pet’s needs are met. I provide a safe, clean, and loving environment where pets can feel comfortable and secure. I follow each owner’s instructions, maintain their routines, and treat every pet with patience and care.

About: Certified vet assistant and experienced kennel worker. My first job with dogs was at a fun little daycamp/boarding place called Camp Bow-Wow. I gained a lot of experience in handling and training. The enviroment I worked in was often filled with dogs running around a huge play yard, and it was my job to keep the peace (making sure they don’t fight, hump, or eat poop). During my time there I attended vet assistance courses at Bosces and earned a certification. I worked at an animal hospital in Oyster Bay, then in Woodbury. I’ll soon be leaving my current job (sanitation) to come back into the pet care business, which I enjoy far more. My schedule will open up tremendously by the 20th, until then I am readily available for afternoons. Im also good with cats, as long as they’re friendly!
“Danielle is wonderful! She is friendly and kind and was great with Grace. She also treated our home very respectfully and was great with other things we asked her to do such as pick up the mail etc. She came for a meet and greet and then we asked if she would spend the night beforehand so as to accustom Grace to her which she agreed to. I can’t think of one thing she could have done better and I hope she is available in the future when we need her. Thanks Danielle!”

About: Hi! I’m a lifelong dog lover and rescue enthusiast based in massapequa. I’ve had the joy of fostering several dogs over fthe years, and it’s taught me how to connect quickly with pets and understand their individual needs and personalities. I’m especially comfortable caring for senior dogs and pets who need a little extra attention—whether that means administering medications, taking things at their pace, or just offering calm companionship. Whether you need someone for a drop-in visit, a walk, or to keep your pup company while you’re away, I’m here to help. I treat every dog like they’re family and always aim to make them feel safe, happy, and loved. I’m happy to share updates and photos to keep you in the loop while you’re away.

Working from home also means I’m never in a rush—I have the time and attention to give your pet the care they deserve. I can pop in for frequent visits or stay for longer periods if needed, and I’m always just a message away if you want an update or a quick photo of your furry friend. My calm, consistent presence helps pets feel safe and relaxed, especially those who may experience separation anxiety or are more comfortable sticking to a familiar routine. In my home, pets are treated like family—because they are! Dogs are welcome on the couch and bed if that’s what they’re used to (and love). I keep a clean, pet-friendly space where they can feel safe, comfortable, and relaxed. I follow whatever routines they’re used to, whether that’s morning walks, mealtime rituals, or quiet time snuggled up on the couch.

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 Lindenhurst 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 Lindenhurst 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 Lindenhurst 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.
