“Trisha graciously watched my 2 older dogs at the last minute in my home. She was an amazing houseguest, and was incredible with my visually impaired dog who requires various daily medications. My other grumpy dog took to Trisha immediately, which is remarkable as he can be stingy with his affection. Thank you Trisha and we all look forward to seeing you again soon.❤️”
About: I have been care for other peoples animals for at least the five years. I grew up with cats and a dog. I am an animal lover and treat them as family. I can be flexible for care.

“Kyle is a great pet sitter, he was very conscientious of the animals needs and was great in the house. He kept me up to date and sent pictures and updates. My dogs loved him! I highly recommend.”
About: My love for animals has stayed constant throughout my life. I am currently a receptionist at a veterinary hospital. I would love to continue my education in the veterinary field. I have always especially loved dogs and never been without a dog in my home. I have a 1 year old bichon-shih tzu mix, Lulu, who is full of energy and loves to play. Depending on the pup I'm housing or if I'm house sitting, Lulu can either stay in my home, as she loves other dogs or I can take her to my friend's house for dogs who would prefer to be the only dog in a home. I will give your pup all the love, patience, and play time they need to be happy and I will look after your beloved pet just like my own!
“Hailee was so great with our cat Duke! It’s been difficult to find someone reliable and that we trust but Hailee eased all our worries! We felt Duke was in the best hands while we were away and will continue using Hailee for drop ins/stays.”
“Julia took great care of our dogs and cat over a long weekend and we'd be happy to have her sit in our home again! She even baked us some delicious cookies that were a welcome snack when we got home.”

Feel free to message me for details! I am currently working full time so my availability is weekday evenings after 5:30 pm, weekends (all day), and Mondays late afternoon-evening after 3 pm I have a fenced in yard with a lot of room for your dog to run around!

With a crate provided, there is room to set that up as well.
About: Caring for pets is my full-time focus, so my schedule is flexible and I’m available whenever your pet needs me. I love long walks, so your pup will get plenty of exercise, fresh air, and time to sniff around. I also have two dogs of my own, Koa (a Lab/Terrier mix) and Lilo (a Pitbull), so I’m used to a house that runs on walk schedules and dinner bowls. Pet care is my full-time focus. I have a flexible schedule and can help with walks or drop-in visits throughout the day, including last-minute needs. Your pet’s safety and comfort are always my top priorities. I take time to understand each pet’s routine, needs, and personality, and I approach every visit with calm, patience, and care. I treat every home with respect and always make sure pets feel safe, relaxed, and well cared for in their familiar environment.
About: I have taken care of dogs and cats for over 14 years. I have been a dog sitter at peoples homes. Friends and family have relied on me to walk, feed and if needed bathe them. If they need any medications just let me know. I have time in the middle of the day and some weekends to take care of dogs and cats. I also can fit dog walking and to let them out in the backyard. I have a dog at home who is the love of my life and I also walk him. When I am at a client's home, I like to make sure the fence(if provided) is closed and the house or apartment is pet proofed as well.

“Elliot and Jackson are truly amazing dog sitters. They took the time to get to know our two mini schnauzers (one being a nervous rescue) prior to the visit. Communication was excellent during the pet sitting and I felt confident that my dogs were being well cared for. They even got some kisses from my rescue boy, which doesn’t happen often. I would highly recommend them.”
“This was my first time using Isabella (Bella) and I was more than satisfied. I have four cats on four different types of food and two are on medications more than once a day. Bella followed the instructions for my complicated household perfectly and was in communication about updates the entire time. Additionally, one of my cats on medication gave Bella a very hard time. She was still able to medicate him which was no easy feat. I dont think anyone but a true, licensed professional like Bella would have been able to. I have the utmost trust and the highest rating for Bella, who succeeded my expectations. Bella is a reliable, compassionate sitter and I'd use her again in a heartbeat.”
About: I’ve been taking care of dogs for 5 years. Since I became a dog mom of a tiny puppy, I have studied to be the best at taking care not only of my dog but also neighbors and family dogs. I’m currently studying part time so I would have time to take care of your pets and provide for everything they need in a safe and loving environment. I can take care of your pets at my home or your home depending on what’s best for you and me and which one works with our schedule.
About: I’m passionate about caring for pets and have lots of hands-on experience as a veterinary assistant, helping with feeding, exercise, giving meds, and comforting pups and kitties during check-ups and treatments. I’ve worked with all kinds of animals and love making sure they feel safe, happy, and loved. When I’m not helping at the vet, I volunteer at animal sanctuaries, so your furry friend will be in caring and experienced hands! Pet care is a big part of my daily routine—I dedicate time every day to walking, feeding, and playing with animals, whether it’s at the vet clinic, the sanctuary where I volunteer, or with the pets I’m sitting. I make sure every animal gets the attention and care they need to feel comfortable and happy. Weekly, I also stay on top of their health by following medication schedules and monitoring behavior closely. Caring for pets isn’t just a job for me—it’s something I genuinely enjoy and prioritize in my lif When caring for pets in my home, I create a safe, comfortable, and loving environment where your furry friend can relax and feel at ease. I follow their usual routines for feeding, exercise, and bathroom breaks, and provide plenty of playtime and affection to keep them happy. I also make sure to monitor their health and behavior closely, so any needs or changes are noticed right away. When visiting your home, I treat your space and pet with the same respect and care. I stick to your pet’s daily schedule—feeding, walking, play, and rest—so they feel comfortable and secure in their familiar surroundings. Whether it’s a quick walk or an extended stay, I’m attentive to your pet’s needs and keep you updated so you can have peace of mind.
“This was my first time leaving a pet w/Angela & it was a great experience. She was wonderful w/our 9-month-old Irish Setter, Jameson,who is EXTREMELY playful & energetic. My husband & I were out of the country & somewhat unreachable, but Angela kept in contact w/our daughter on Long Island frequently which was nice. Angela treated Jameson like one of her family...playing w/him & her own dog, Bernie...letting him sleep outside his crate as a "treat"...lol...& feeding him doggie cookies! I would highly recommend Angela to anyone for petsitting services, and I would use her again myself in the future. I loved her, & more important, Jameson loved her too.”
“Chris is awesome! He was so easy to communicate with and you can tell he really loves dogs. I do not trust my dog with anyone outside the family, but I do trust him with Chris for 2 most important reasons. He has health issues and needs medication, and he is a runner. Being a Hound, he can even get away from me! It is very difficult to keep him safe. I trust Chris with him totally. I can rest easy when he is with Chris, and I do not have to worry about him being in a crate all day. Thank You Chris for being there for us!”

Pet parents share their Rover experiences - Mastic
We’ve now had Florence care for our four cats and one dog on multiple occasions, including an extended weekend and, most recently, an overnight stay. Each time, we’ve come home to a happy household and well-cared-for pets. Two of our cats are hairless and have some special needs, so we really appreciate how thoughtfully she manages their allergies and makes sure they stay warm as the weather gets colder. She’s responsive over text while we’re away, which gives us real peace of mind. Our home is always left clean and tidy, and all of our animals are safe, happy, and well cared for when we return. Caring for five pets with different needs is no small job, and Florence has been great. We’re happy to have her back whenever we travel and would recommend her to other pet owners!
Jennifer is absolutely amazing and very patient! We were able to go away on our honeymoon for a week and not worry about our 3 dogs. Highly recommended! Our one trouble maker she took the time to get him to come lot of his shell and relax. She was also conscious of our older dogs allergies and got him treats that he could have which is very difficult to find. They were very well taken care of and very happy.

The average cost of House Sitting in Mastic is $44 per night as of October 2026. Most bookings cost between $44 and $44 per night.

As long as your booking dates and pet profiles are accurate, the price shown before you confirm is the total, including any booking fee.

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 Mastic 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 Mastic 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 Mastic 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.
