“I cannot say enough how wonderful Kerry is!!!! She stayed with my 3 large dogs (GSD, Golden Retriever, and Rottie mix) for 3 days and 2 nights and also gave my 1 dog her meds for 2 days. She kept in constant contact and sent me photos. My dogs all absolutely love Kerry. It meant everything to be able to relax while I was away knowing that my dogs were so well taken care of. Kerry is a true dog lover. You can rest easy she will take the very best care of your pet while in her care.”

“Aliyah was an amazing sitter for my dog! She came right on time, asked a ton of questions to best care for my dog. My dog loved her from the minute she got into our home. She was so kind and attentive to him and eased all our worries about leaving him! She sent lots of photos and videos. We will definitely be booking with her again!”

About: I have been around dogs for most of my life, having owned two dogs from ages 6-20, and I have since gained hands-on experience caring for pets with a wide range of personalities, ages and needs. I’ve pet sat for both cats and dogs, including caring for four cats and two dogs at once, managing litter boxes, wet and dry food routines, playtime and plenty of attention and affection. I also have experience administering oral medications and eye drops to dogs. One experience especially that sets me apart is caring for a Catahoula Leopard dog who was paralyzed in her hind legs, which involved expressing her bladder and assisting with her mobility alongside caring for another dog in the home. I’m comfortable with puppies as well, having provided drop-in care for a golden retriever at both 3 months and 6 months old, as well as extended dog and house sitting for a 2-year old golden retriever. Across my pet-sitting experience, I’ve provided regular walks, baths, light grooming, feeding, playtime and lots of one-on-one attention. I understand every pet has their own routine, personality, and level of care, and I’m comfortable providing everything from my everyday companionship to more hands-on care for pets with special needs. My current schedule is very flexible, as I am studying full-time for the MCAT and create my own study schedule each week. I attend MCAT prep classes on Sunday and Tuesday evenings, but outside of those times, I can easily plan my studying around your pet’s needs. This gives me flexibility for walks, drop-in visits, feeding schedules, playtime, and extended care throughout the week. I’m happy to work with each pet owner to maintain the routine that works best for their pet! I understand that trusting someone with both your pet and your home is a big responsibility. I have experience house sitting and pet sitting for many families, and I always treat each home with the same care and respect I would want someone to show my own. I carefully follow any instructions you provide regarding your pet’s routine, safety, feeding, medications, and household needs. My only request is to be shown where basic cleaning supplies are kept (accidents happen, and that’s completely normal!). I want you to come home to a space that is just as clean, if not cleaner, than when you left it, and most importantly, to a pet who has been safe, comfortable, and well cared for.

About: I’ve had dogs ever since I was 10 and love taking care of them. I’ve also taken friends dogs while they were on vacation whenever needed. I work midday so I can walk your dog before 11am or most likely after 7 pm. Even if you just need me to go feed your cats! I do have a fenced in yard but love taking my dog Nala to different dog parks in the area. She gets along with all dogs and loves to play.

About: Hi, I'm Lauren! I've always had a genuine love for animals and grew up caring for my own dog of many years. I've been around animals all my life, including the pets of friends, family, and neighbors, and I've continued gaining experience caring for animals ever since. That includes multi-day stays with my uncle's dog as well as multiple sitting sessions for my mother's co-worker's dog. I'm comfortable with feeding, walking, playtime, and providing attentive, compassionate care while respecting each animal's individual boundaries and personality. As a lifelong animal lover, I bring patience, reliability, and authentic affection to every visit. I want to provide that care for you and your family, with no stress, so you can always know your pet is in good hands. I look forward to giving your pet the same care, attention, and love I would want for my own! I'm a recent nursing graduate and licensed RN, and I'm currently building my nursing career while offering pet care as a way to stay active and do something I truly enjoy. I have a flexible schedule with plenty of availability, so I can give your pet consistent, attentive care and respond efficiently to your needs! I provide care in my clients' homes, where pets are most comfortable and stay on their usual routine. During each visit, I take care of your pet's basic needs, including feeding, fresh water, walks, and playtime, and I give plenty of attention and affection. I pay close attention to each pet's comfort and personality and adjust my care to whatever they need, so they feel safe and relaxed while you're away!

About: Hi! My name is Marissa, 26 years old & I live in Rockville Centre. Growing up, dogs were always part of my life. While living home with my parents, I helped care for our 3 dogs- Sugar, Cookie & Leche- which gave me experience caring for multiple dogs at once, of all different breeds, ages & temperaments. More recently, my boyfriend and I rescued a cat, which has given me experience with cat care as well! I’m committed to providing quality & attentive- care, and treating every pet as if they were my own. I am patient, flexible, and dependable, and look forward to meeting new fur babies and their owners! I have availability during the day into the late evenings from Sunday- Friday. I am available for dog walking, drop in visits, and house sitting. I will always be available & responsive, for you to contact. I provide a calm & quiet environment for them and always make sure your pet is hydrated, fed and well cared for. I will send photos and detailed messages that include everything that happened during the drop- in visit or the walk (+ anything I notice that is brought to my attention). Just let me know if you’d like any plants watered, mail brought inside, garbage to the curb or fish to be fed!

About: I am communicative and reliable, I will make sure your pup has the best time during my stay, regular meals, walks, restroom breaks, and non stop fun for the dog. I am responsible and will make sure no danger befalls your beloved furry friend. I may not always available because I go to school and work 2 jobs but I can guarantee you I will be available for your needs at sometime during the day. I will make time for you if not then I will make sure I find a reasonable day and my pricing is great. If I’m chilling at your house with the dog I’ll bring a movie to make sure both of us stay occupied during the stay. Don’t be afraid to call! You might end up being the best decision you ever made. I am currently working throughout the day, but if we schedule and agree on something before hand I will commit to that and make sure I am available for you and your pet. I can not take pets into my home but am able to check up on them in your home and I am able to take them for walks if that is what you prefer.

About: I've had my dog Wolverine for 8 years now since he was a puppy and I take care of him as he's family and not just a pet. With the same treatment I give my own dog, I will give to your pet as well. Having my own pet is a daily routine of taking care of him. Being walked, fed , groomed, cleaned, and making sure they have enough play and mental stimulation. I care for them as they were my own family. I would say going above and beyond but I believe that should be the norm for treating all pets.

About: With over 27 years of hands-on experience in animal care, I have dedicated much of my life to nurturing, raising, and understanding the needs of a wide variety of animals. From a young age, I was immersed in environments that required consistent, compassionate care for pets, developing a deep-rooted passion and natural intuition for animal welfare. Throughout the years, I’ve gained extensive experience in feeding, grooming, administering basic medications, and observing animal behavior for signs of distress or illness. My approach is always centered around patience, empathy, and attention to individual needs—ensuring that every animal in my care feels safe, loved, and well-cared for. I currently have a beloved fur baby of my own, who receives the highest standard of care and attention. This personal commitment reflects the level of dedication I bring to all animals under my supervision. Whether it’s routine care or emotional comfort, I pride myself on creating a nurturing and structured environment for every animal. As a lifelong animal lover and experienced caregiver, pets are an integral part of my everyday life. My home is not just a place for my own beloved fur baby—it's a welcoming, safe, and nurturing environment for any pet in my care. Because of my personal commitment to animal well-being, I’m home the majority of the time, which allows me to provide constant supervision, companionship, and routine check-ins throughout the day. When boarding with me, your pet will experience a comfortable, secure, and engaging home environment—both indoors and outdoors. Inside, pets enjoy a cozy, climate-controlled space where they are treated like family. I maintain a clean and organized home, with designated pet-friendly areas for rest, play, and feeding. Whether your fur baby prefers quiet time or interactive play, I tailor the indoor experience to meet their individual needs, including any special care routines or accommodations. Outdoors, your pet will have access to a fully fenced-in yard—perfect for safe exploration, exercise, and fresh air. The space is ideal for dogs who love to run, play fetch, or simply lounge in the sun. Supervised outdoor time is incorporated into the daily routine, ensuring plenty of opportunities for physical activity and mental stimulation. In addition, I have a friendly, well-socialized dog who can serve as a playful companion if your pet enjoys the company of others. However, I also understand that not all pets are social butterflies, and I am fully prepared to keep them separated to ensure a calm and stress-free environment for everyone. Whether your pet thrives on companionship or prefers their own space, I adapt to what makes them most comfortable and secure.

From the time we met Kara-Ann at our scheduled Meet & Greet, I knew she would take great care of our two pups! She liked them and they liked her. And while I missed my puppies the whole time we were away, I knew that I left them in good hands with no worries. Kara-Ann was a great communicator and I never had to worry. And when we came home from vacation, the pups were their usual crazy selves. I will definitely use Kara-Ann again and I highly recommend her!

I was reluctant to take a five day vacation because my cats have never been without me for more than one night and one of them is a Velcro kitty. I chose Jane after meeting her because I could tell she is caring and detail oriented, and out of all the candidates to spend nights at my home, she stood out. Now that I’m back, I know I had made the right choice; Jane was very loving with the kitties, remembered the nuances of their food and treat habits and sent photos and videos throughout, which gave me peace of mind. I will be a repeat client, for sure.

FAQs for House Sitting - Lynbrook

Frequently asked questions about Rover

The average cost of House Sitting in Lynbrook is $86 per night as of October 2026. Most bookings cost between $34 and $111 per night. On Rover, sitters set their own rates based on factors such as their experience, the length of care, the number of pets, and your pet’s specific needs. As long as your booking dates and pet profiles are accurate, the price shown before you confirm is the total, including any booking fee.

As of October 2026, there are 18,406 sitters on Rover offering House Sitting across Lynbrook. 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 Lynbrook 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 Lynbrook 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 Lynbrook 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.

Yes, you can find sitters who have experience with handling special pet needs in Lynbrook. On Rover:

  • 85% of sitters can help with special care needs

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.
