About: I’ve been surrounded by dogs my entire life and have over 12 years of professional experience working with dogs of all breeds, sizes, ages, and personalities! Along with my grooming background, I have hands-on experience with pet sitting, dog walking, and administering medications. I’m comfortable caring for puppies, seniors, and dogs with different temperaments, including shy, anxious, and reactive pups. As a lifelong dog lover and proud dog mom myself, I understand that every dog has their own unique personality and needs. I treat every pet with the same love, patience, and attention I’d want for my own, making sure they feel safe, happy, and comfortable in my care! I offer flexible availability throughout the week and on weekends for boarding and pet care. I’m happy to work with your pet’s normal routine, including regular potty breaks, meals, playtime, walks, and plenty of attention. I keep my calendar updated so you’ll always know when I’m available! Your pet’s safety, comfort, and happiness are always my top priorities! My home offers a loving environment with a fully fenced yard, plenty of room to play, and lots of attention. I have a friendly, well-socialized dog and cats of my own, so proper introductions and compatibility are very important to me. When caring for pets in their own homes, I respect their space and follow their usual routines as closely as possible. Whether in my home or yours, I’ll provide attentive, personalized care, regular updates, and plenty of love so you can have peace of mind while you’re away!

About: Experienced, reliable, and passionate about dogs! Over the past 3 years, I’ve provided services for dogs of all breeds, sizes, and personalities. As a owner of 3 dogs, I understand how important peace of mind is when leaving your pets in someone else's hands. I’m comfortable managing multiple dogs at once, adapting to reactive or shy temperaments, and maintaining your pet's routine. I'd love to help take care of your pup. Reach out anytime for walks or drop-in care! I currently work part time and am available for drop ins and walks most afternoons. I am always looking to schedule times when I am free. I have three dogs that live at my house giving me plenty of experience caring for multiple types of dogs. Whether your dog is friendly or shy i will be able to care for him as needed.

About: Being around animals and making them feel happy is the best feeling to have. I have 2 dogs and cat, and they always manage to make my day. I have plenty of great places to adventure with your companion while you are busy! I have school online which makes me completely free! I am studying and practicing things that make me happy with my free time, (which there is plenty of) So, your dog/ cat will fit into my schedule perfectly! I live very close to many dog-friendly parks, and enjoy hiking, especially with a four-legged companion. I will take any opportunity to go on a long walk! It would be nice to take a dog with me sometime. I also bake, and have made dog treats for my Boston Terrier at home who might love peanut butter more than me... I'd love to share my hobbies with your pets!

About: I have taken care of dogs all my life, I have three at home. I have also raised 8 puppies that went to loving families. Neighbors and friends trust me to walk them often. I am able to walk and get in an exercise while walking the animals I love and enjoying the outdoors. I do have a 9-5 but would love a morning, afternoon, or even lunch break drop-in or walk. I have housed other dogs and my young retriever loves all animals no matter the size. I also have pet friendly turf and grass in the back yard. In clients homes I respect their property and only need to touch what is asked, such as food, what the client asks of me.

“We had a great experience with James! He was punctual, responsive, and did an amazing job with our dog, Kody. Kody is a big, energetic dog and not always the easiest to handle, but James handled him confidently and with care. It gave us a lot of peace of mind knowing Kody was in good hands. Highly recommend James and would absolutely book with him again!”

About: As a dog parent myself, I understand how important it is to trust someone with your pup. I’m a dedicated pet sitter with three years of volunteer experience at an animal shelter, where I worked with dogs of all breeds, sizes, and energy levels. I’m comfortable handling everything from playful puppies to calm senior dogs, and I tailor each walk and visit to your dog’s individual needs. I’m very detail-oriented and experienced in following specific feeding instructions, medication routines, and behavioral guidelines. Whether your dog needs structured walks, extra patience, or lots of affection, I’m committed to providing safe, dependable, and loving care while you’re away. Pet care is a very important part of my daily routine. I have both a dog and a cat of my own, so caring for pets is already built into my day. I work part-time, which gives me flexibility to focus on walks, visits, feeding schedules, and quality time with each pet to ensure pets receive consistent attention, supervision, and care throughout the day. I care for pets using the experience I gained from three years of volunteering at an animal shelter, where I worked with dogs of all breeds, sizes, and energy levels, as well as cats with different personalities and needs. I tailor my care to each pet to ensure they feel safe, comfortable, and well cared for. In my home, I have a fully fenced yard that allows dogs to safely play, exercise, and relax outdoors. I also have two friendly pets who can provide gentle companionship, helping visiting pets feel more at ease in a calm, welcoming environment. I focus on creating the most comfortable and enjoyable experience possible for every pet. Whether caring for pets in my home or a client’s home, I closely follow feeding instructions, medication routines, and any special care guidelines. My goal is to provide attentive, compassionate care while giving pet parents peace of mind that their pets are in good hands.

About: I’ve had dogs my entire life, both small and big! I absolutely love furry friends and have one of my own. I have a small, older cockapoo named Riley and I’ve taken care of him since he was a puppy and I was in 8th grade - I actually had to pitch an entire care plan to let my mom allow me to have him! I work entirely from home and have a calm, quiet environment. I work entirely from home and have breaks throughout the day where I’d be able to play with your furry friend! I work both during the day and overnight, and will be able to tend to your dogs needs hourly at the very least! I have a fenced yard and a small cockapoo who is calm and friendly. I have a small crate as well if that is supportive for your pup! My home is calm and stress-free. You can count on regular updates, photos, and honest communication while your pup is in my care!

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’ve had a dog pretty much my whole life, so I’m very used to taking care of them and being around them every day. I also spend a lot of time around my girlfriend’s cat and help take care of her, so I’m comfortable with both dogs and cats. I genuinely love animals and I’m someone you can trust to make sure your pet is well taken care of and gets plenty of attention while you’re away. I’m a commuter engineering student at Stony Brook, so I have a pretty flexible schedule and spend a lot of my week at home. Most days I’m only on campus for a few hours at a time, and I’m free all day on Saturdays. I do have an occasional longer class day, but even then I’m able to plan around your pet’s schedule. A lot of my schoolwork is done on my laptop, so when I’m pet sitting I’m happy to study and do my work from your home, which means I can spend plenty of time with your pet throughout the day. I also usually go to a local gym for about an hour and a half in the evening, but otherwise I’m around and can be pretty flexible. I’ll follow whatever routine you already have for your pet so they can stay as comfortable as possible while you’re away. I’m active and in good shape, so I’m more than happy to take dogs on long walks or give them as much exercise as they’re used to. I can handle feeding, walks, playtime, bathroom breaks, litter boxes, and whatever else is part of their normal routine. I’m also completely comfortable sleeping with your pets if that’s what they’re used to, or giving them their own space so it’s really whatever you and your pet are most comfortable with. I’m happy to send pictures and updates too so you know they’re doing well.

About: I’ve taken care of all kinds of dogs (and other animals!) for many years. Family, friends, and co-workers have relied on me to watch and care for their pets whether it’s walking, feeding, playing, even taking them to the vet. I’ve taken care of dogs of all sizes and ages, from senior bull mastiffs to pugs under a year old. There is no dog too big or too small because they’re all perfect to me. I’ve also found lost dogs and helped them return to their owners! I have experience caring for anxious dogs, blind dogs, deaf dogs, dogs with mobility issues, and dogs that require medication. Other animals I’ve taken care of include: cats, parrots, guinea pigs, fish, rabbits, and hamsters. Pets are so precious, they’re such an important source of joy in their family’s lives so it’s such a privilege to be trusted with their care!! :) Pet sitting is currently my full time job, so I have lots of time to give your animals the special care and attention they deserve! I have a fenced in yard which is perfect for dogs to run around in. I also have a car so I’m able to take dogs to the dog park or dog beaches nearby (if that’s something they would enjoy). At a client’s house I still follow any guidance/schedule given to me. In between I typically take the dog’s lead. I’m at their house so it’s important to me that I respect their space (and the clients above all)! I like to take their cues to make sure that their sense of routine isn’t disrupted.

Ahhhh, she did such an incredible job 😊 was extremely comfortable with her watching my animals, and genuinely, didn’t worry that one of them would get lost which really scared me at first. She updated me every day and let me send her billions of pictures and messages and didn’t get annoyed which helped.

FAQs for Pet Sitting - Middle Island

Frequently asked questions about Rover

The average cost of Pet Sitting in Middle Island is $20 per visit as of October 2026. Most bookings cost between $17 and $39 per visit. 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 2,806 sitters on Rover offering Pet Sitting across Middle Island. Enter your ZIP code to see which available sitters are closest to your home.

You and your sitter can agree on a care schedule that fits your pet’s routine and the sitter’s availability. Pet Sitting can be booked as a one-time or recurring drop-in visit. If you need overnight care or dog walks, you may also be able to book House Sitting or Dog Walking through Rover with the same sitter, provided they offer those services.

Before booking, confirm:

  • the timing, length, and frequency of visits;
  • the care instructions the sitter should follow;
  • which parts of your pet’s usual routine should be prioritized;
  • how often you would like to receive messages, photos, or other updates.

Not every sitter offers the same services, availability, or booking options. Review their profile and discuss the care you need through Rover before booking each service.

If you would like updates while you’re away, you can discuss with your sitter how many or how frequent you’d like those updates to be. The Rover app allows sitters to send photos, videos, and messages about your pet, including how many pee or poop breaks occurred. You can message your sitter at any time through the app and our support team is available 24/7 by email or chat if you have concerns.

The personalized, in-home nature of pet care through Rover can mean more individual attention for your pet.

Many pet parents provide a spare key or arrange a lockbox. You can also exchange keys during the Meet & Greet and show your walker how to use digital fobs or personalized codes. It helps to arrange access to your home, from spare keys to concierge introductions, before pet care begins.

If you live in an apartment or condo, don’t forget to discuss details like buzzer access, codes, or elevator etiquette. These details can help a pet sitter feel more comfortable going in and out of your building.

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 .

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.

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

  • 89% of sitters can help with special care needs
  • 92% can help with giving oral medications or injections
  • 96% 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.

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.
