“This is our third time booking Elizabeth, and we can honestly say that she is part of the family. Not only does she take amazing care of our dogs, she's unbelievably helpful with other tasks around the house and gives us great comfort when we are away. Selfishly Elizabeth is one of those people who fall into the category where you almost don't want to tell people how great she is to avoid the risk of having to share her. But she is that good and it would be unfair to her not to celebrate her awesomeness.”

I also have two dogs of my own a senior dog and a high-energy Australian Shepherd so I understand the patience, structure, and attention different pets need. Whether your dog loves slow, relaxed walks or needs lots of activity and stimulation, I’ve got it covered. I treat every pet like my own and prioritize both their safety and happiness, so you can feel confident they’re in knowledgeable and caring hands I’m a veterinary student with hands on animal care experience, so my availability varies depending on classes during the semesters. Besides classes and attending to my own pets, we can discuss flexible scheduling.

I understand pet behavior and body language, so I can respond calmly and appropriately in any situation. I focus on creating a secure and stress-free experience for every pet. While I’m not offering overnight stays at this time, every walk and visit is designed to give pets the attention, care, and consistency they deserve, giving owners peace of mind while they’re away.

About: Hi there! I’am Kostas, a passionate animal lover with 4 years of experience in pet care. I’ve had the pleasure of caring for dogs, cats, and other furry friends providing them with love, attention, and cuddles. I work part-time, with a schedule that changes weekly, but I have availability in the mornings, evenings, and nights. When I’m working, my girlfriend, who also loves and cares for animals, helps take care of your pet to ensure they always receive attention and care. Feel free to reach out, and we can find a time that works best for your pet’s needs! Before each visit, I review the pets information including the routines, diet and any medical conditions. I feed the pets according the owners instructions and ensure they have access to fresh water

I will take care of your fur baby like they're my own! i’ll adhere to their schedule, and follow your directions so your furbaby feels loved and cared for just like if you were there.
About: I’ve grown up surrounded by dogs my whole life! Due to my shift schedule as a nurse, I can’t get one of my own just yet! I go on walks a few times a day and would love to have a furry friend by my side during them I’m currently a registered nurse working 3 12-hour shifts. This leaves me home in the middle of the week when everyone else is at work! I have grown up surrounded by dogs and would be sure to make your pet feel comfortable and safe! Walking, playing, whatever is needed to make your pet happy!
About: I have always grown up with dogs in my home. Currently, my family has one high energy black lab. In September of 2024, I also adopted my first own dog, Millie! I have watched, played with, fed, and walked dogs for many years including family and friends. I am currently in my final year of veterinary school. I also have worked as a veterinary assistant so have first aid and medical skills. I’m in my clinical year of vet school so my schedule varies by which rotation I’m on! Early morning and evening would probably be best for me most of the time. I try to update my availability calendar as often as I can! My home is very safe. There are plenty of paths and green spaces for walking. Your animal would have to get up one flight of steps.
About: Own a Shepherd-Chow mix and a short hair cat. I also routinely babysit for a family friend's golden retriever and house sit while they are away on vacations. I house sit for a friend with 3 cats on occasion. I also have experience giving shots to animals with medical issues if necessary. I work part time during the summer and am looking to supplement my teaching career. Would love to meet you and your animal(s) if you’d like before I take care of your fur babies! Over the summer I work part time and have plenty of time for walks and/or drop ins. Schedule changes weekly but not by much definitely able to accommodate your needs. During most weekdays I am a teacher so I will be out of the house 7-3:30 (unless there is a vacation or holiday) I shower all my pets with love at every chance I get. I am all about the belly rubs and my animals know it and love it!
About: Family, friends call me Titi Sammy. Why?! I watch and take care of everyone’s kids! And you know it.. our dogs are our kids too :) A little about me: I have a passion for helping stray and neglected dogs. I volunteer with many rescues in Puerto Rico. I do airport transport, coordinate with fosters (and foster), and love on pups that come to the states while they wait to meet their forever families :) Hoping to run my own rescue one day! I work remotely! I have a super flexible schedule. This makes it very easy to keep your pup’s at home routine. Frequent potty and play breaks too! I am not currently caring for pets in my home, but can take your pups out for walks, or let them out back. Feed and of course give them extra love :)
About: Our pets change our lives for the better and I want to make sure they’re well taken care of too. By making connections via talking, playing, training, and grooming I pride myself in providing full care for my furry friends. I make training fun and learn their individual strengths! Pet care is an essential part in my daily routine. Each day begins by walking my pup, refreshing her water and food bowls. At the end of the day, I’m cleaning and prepping to start out routine over, putting toys away and doing our last walk of the night. I love taking my pups out downtown or to the dog park. If it’s dog-friendly, why aren’t we bringing the beans?! Everyone is always happy, fed, hydrated, and well played with. Pet hygiene and environmental cleanliness go hand in hand. I like to make sure I’m keeping my home clean for my pets. After all they play, lounge, and sleep in our home. The least we can do is make sure the space is free of dangerous objects or potential choking hazards. We also use pet gates in our home to ensure pet safety when cooking/cleaning/moving furniture.
About: I've had pets ever since I was born so I have a lot of experience taking care of them! I've helped out neighbors walk their dogs often and always enjoy it! I've had a dog for 10 years so I know a dogs routine! I volunteered at Cove Animal Rescue taking care of cats for a few months (as well as the 2 I have at home!). I am currently a pet care specialist at Dan’s Pet Care so during the weekdays I will have clients between 10am-4pm but I will try my best to hopefully make myself available to be able to attend to your pets needs! I enjoy spending time with my dog and 2 cats when I’m home and always try to attend to their needs as much as I can. I'm a big animal person so I'm always glad to do it!

Dog parents share their Rover experiences - Locust Valley
Kaylee watched our 2 large shepherds and she was fantastic. Our dogs are very hyper dogs and both anxious in their own ways so we never feel the best leaving them with new people but Kaylee took lots of photos, our dogs were super happy and we felt so confident leaving them in her care. We will definitely use her again and recommend her to anyone looking for a loving sitter for your fur babies!

Whether you’re at the office for the day or traveling for a few nights, a pet sitter can offer potty breaks during a Locust Valley stroll, cleaning the litter box, or making sure your pet has on-time food or water refills. For daytime services like walking and drop-ins, you can also request sitters to send a report card with every visit.
Tip: You can discuss your specific arrangements with a pet sitter on Rover to what fits you, your pet, and your sitter’s needs. To find what their special skills are, look at the "Skills" and "Pet care experience" sections on their profile.
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 Locust Valley 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!
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 .

All bookings are backed by the Rover Guarantee , which provides up to $25,000 in eligible veterinary care reimbursement.
A Meet & Greet is a short introductory meeting between you, your dog, 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.
While Rover doesn’t offer traditional subscription services, some sitters offer recurring bookings for services like home visits and dog walking. Recurring services come with their own perks, such as flexibility to modify services (up to five weeks in advance), automatic billing, Rover Card updates, and same-day cancellations.
To find sitters in Locust Valley with recurring or weekly availability, select "Repeat Weekly" and which days you’d like them to care for your pet.

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.
