“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!”
About: Hello! I’m Salena and I’m 31 years old. I’m from Moriches, NY. I grew up with dogs, bunnies, and ducks. I currently have 2 beagles, 1 shih tzu, chickens, and a bunny. I love all animals! Over the years I’ve gained lots of experience in not only general care for small animals, dogs, and cats; but I’ve also become comfortable in providing any necessary medication or taking extra steps to make sure our fur friends are getting all the love and care they need. I work a full-time job, M-F 7:30 -4:00 pm. I can be available for quick drop-ins early in the morning and I can be available for any service in the evening. I am available anytime on weekends. I would prefer to visit your fur baby in your home. I am more than happy to go on walks or play around a yard or home. Whatever you are comfortable with and need from me, just let me know!
“I recently used Tricia for the first time for two nights of pet sitting with my senior chihuahua, and I couldn’t be happier with the experience! She was incredibly professional, attentive, and clearly has a genuine love for animals. She took such amazing care of my dog and kept me updated the entire time with thoughtful messages and photos, which gave me so much peace of mind. It meant everything knowing Winnie was in such good hands. I will absolutely be using her services again and highly recommend her to anyone looking for a reliable, caring pet sitter!”

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 treat every home with respect and always make sure pets feel safe, relaxed, and well cared for in their familiar environment.
“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.”
“Laura was absolutely amazing. She cared for my dog during a crazy storm. She kept him safe and comfortable and kept me updated thru the entire stay. I will absolutely request her for the next overnight and I am so thankful for her!!!”

About: Since I was young, I have taken care of a variety of dogs. My responsibilities included walking, feeding, and playing with them.

About: I have experience caring for my own dog and am comfortable with dogs of all sizes and personalities. I also care for a rabbit and reptiles at home, which has helped me become comfortable with different types of pets and their individual routines and needs.I partially trained my own dog and continue to train and learn more about dog training. I’m currently waiting to start school remotely so will be home near constantly. I do occasionally leave the house but never for long amounts of time. I live in an apartment but can go on walks frequently. I also have my own dog is is dog friendly and loves to play. I am very much an animal person and can spend as much time with your pet as needed
About: I’ve been surrounded by animals my entire life and have rescued and cared for several over the years. Caring for animals has always been something I genuinely enjoy and take seriously. I have experience caring for puppies, senior dogs, large breeds, anxious dogs, and pets with medical needs, including administering oral medications and injections. My wife is a great support and shares the same passion for animals. She’s a marine biologist and she's worked in animal hospitals, farms, and wildlife rehabilitation centers, adding another layer of knowledge and experience to the care we provide. I believe every dog is unique, so I take the time to understand their personality, routine, preferences, and any special needs to help them feel comfortable and at home. I’m an Athletic Trainer and have Fridays, Saturdays, and Sundays off. My wife has a flexible work schedule and is home most of the time. Between the two of us, someone is almost always home, so dogs are rarely left alone for more than two hours. Because I only accept a limited number of dogs at a time, each guest receives plenty of individualized attention, playtime, affection, and care throughout the day. My home is quiet, fully fenced, and designed to help dogs feel safe and comfortable. There are no children or resident pets, allowing me to provide a calm environment and plenty of one-on-one attention. Dogs are welcome on the furniture, have clean dog beds throughout the house, and can even sleep with us if that’s what they’re used to at home. I send daily photo and video updates, and you’re always welcome to message me anytime. Several veterinary hospitals and clinics are within a 5-minute drive if veterinary care is ever needed.
About: Hello! Long walks/hikes, games of fetch in the dog parks, belly rubs and all will be provided. I'm a long time caretaker for children as well, so I guarantee your animal is left with a responsible and caring person. I am not currently working, so I can be with your animals throughout the day as needed. Please message me for more information if you have any questions! I have a fully flexible schedule, as I can do work from my computer and be with your animal(s) as much as they need care throughout the day. I like to take dogs out for long walks & cuddle in the evenings. We both benefit! If you have a yard, more frequent outside time. Dog parks of your dog is behaved.

I grew up training and caring for. More recently, my boyfriend and I rescued an Australian Shepherd mix who’s now 9 months old, and I’ve loved working with her through puppy training all summer!

I also love to walk so your pet would get plenty of exercise.
“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.”

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.

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.

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.

FAQs for House Sitting - Mastic Beach
Frequently asked questions about Rover
The average cost of House Sitting in Mastic Beach is $39 per night as of November 2026. Most bookings cost between $31 and $57 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 November 2026, there are 1,138 sitters on Rover offering House Sitting across Mastic Beach. 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 Mastic Beach 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 Beach 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 Beach 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 Rover Guarantee, 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 Rover's Trust & Safety page.
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 Meet & Greet.
sitters on Rover set their own cancellation policy, 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 Mastic Beach. On Rover:
- 92% of sitters can help with special care needs
- 93% can help with giving oral medications or injections
- 97% can help with daily exercise
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.
