“Cat is an absolute gem of a pet sitter! She was fantastic with Nox and looked after my girl as if she were her very own. Throughout her stay, Cat kept my mind completely at ease by sending regular updates and the perfect amount of pictures / videos. It is incredibly clear that this isn't just a job for her—she genuinely loves what she does and has a true passion for animals. I felt so comfortable knowing Nox was safe, happy, and showered with affection. I cannot recommend Cat highly enough and will definitely be booking her again!!”

“I just have to say that this is the second time we had Melissa stay in our home for 6 days and she truly is the best. I feel so comfortable with her and not only did she take care of and love our 4 furbabies, the house looked beautiful when we came home. I get texts and pics from her all the time and I couldn’t be happier. I highly recommend her 1000% I am so grateful and thrilled to have found her.”

“Amanda was great with our kitties while we were away on vacation! She sent lots of updates with photos/videos and was very respectful of our space. Amanda went above and beyond during meal times as our kitties need to be separated and can be picky eaters. I would highly recommend Amanda for any of your pet care needs!”

“We had Sonnie of the duo stay at our house with our pups and we’ve never come back from vacation before and had the dogs been so relaxed. Sonnie did such a phenomenal job caring for our animals and our house. We felt incredibly comfortable leaving them in Sonnie’s care after two pre-vacation visits where our pets simply could not get enough of Sonnie. Sonnie showed kindness and understanding, sent us daily updates and pictures. I would definitely hire Sonnie again when we go away or just to let the pups out or walk them when we have a long day away. Thanks so much Sonnie!”

About: When it comes to your pets, I understand how important their comfort, safety, and happiness are. I’ve cared for animals my entire life and have experience with dogs of all ages and personalities. I’ve fostered pets, helped them find loving homes, and have taken care of everything from energetic puppies to seniors who need a little extra attention. I’m also big on communication—you’ll always stay updated. I send frequent messages, photos, and videos so you can feel connected and know exactly how your pet is doing. Whether your dog is playful, shy, or needs special care, I’ll treat them like family and make sure they feel loved and well cared for every step of the way. All I need to do is boxing. Monday to Friday for about an hour either in the morning or night. Saturday is boxing in the morning. In my home and my clients’ homes, I focus on giving pets a safe, comfortable, and calm environment where they can relax and feel at ease. I pay close attention to their routines, personality, and any special needs so they always feel cared for and understood. I keep a clean space, make sure doors and gates are secure, and always supervise play—especially with high-energy dogs. Whether your pet is shy, playful, or needs extra support, I adjust to their pace so they feel confident and comfortable. I’m also very communication-focused. You’ll receive regular updates, photos, and videos so you always know how your pet is doing and can feel connected while you’re away. My goal is to make your pet feel at home and give you complete peace of mind.

About: I’ve taken care of cats, small dogs and big dogs. I’ve been taking care of animals more or less since I was a child. I have experience with kittens as young as a week old. Along with my full-time job, I love working with pets whenever I can fit it in! After work usually is the best time for me to check in on your furry friends! I have experience working with young puppies and kittens to older more mature dogs and cats. Taking dogs out in the backyard or out on runs, cleaning cat litter boxes, feeding and snacks are all part of a typical day.

About: Hi! My name is Deanne, and I’m an experienced animal caregiver with a strong background working hands-on with dogs in structured care environments. I currently work at the Guide Dog Foundation, where I care for dogs in a nursery setting. My daily responsibilities include feeding, monitoring health and behavior, administering medication when needed, and supporting the early development and well-being of working dogs. I’m comfortable with dogs of all ages, including puppies and senior dogs, and I’m attentive to detail when it comes to routines, safety, and individual needs. I understand how important consistency and trust are for animals when their owners are away. I’m reliable, calm, and very observant—especially when it comes to changes in behavior or health. I treat every dog like they’re my own and always prioritize their comfort, safety, and happiness. I’m happy to follow detailed instructions and maintain your pet’s normal schedule as closely as possible. Communication is important to me, and I’ll always keep you updated with how your pet is doing. Looking forward to meeting you and your dog! Pet care is already part of my daily routine through my work at the Guide Dog Foundation, where I care for dogs on a structured schedule. I’m used to feeding, monitoring health and behavior, and following consistent care routines, so Rover fits naturally into my weekly schedule. I work evenings Wednesday-Sunday from 6pm-10pm. So I’m available during the day. I provide care by following each pet’s normal routine as closely as possible, including feeding, walks, playtime, and any special instructions from the owner. I pay close attention to behavior and comfort, and I adjust care based on the pet’s needs.

“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.❤️”

Melissa is very reliable! We have a 14 year old Havanese with a nervous stomach so this summer we decided to keep her in her own home with a sitter. Melissa takes very good care of her, administers her medication and gives me updates. I would highly recommend her to care for your pup!

Sarah watched out two miniature schnauzers over a four day period and it gave us peace of mind to know Sarah was at the house. She took very good cares of our boys and even got a kiss from our shy rescue dog. We will definitely be using her again.

FAQs for House Sitting - Miller Place

Frequently asked questions about Rover

The average cost of House Sitting in Miller Place on Rover is $66 per night as of October 2026. Most bookings cost between $49 and $71 per night. 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 2,097 sitters on Rover offering House Sitting across Miller Place. 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 Miller Place 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 Miller Place 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 Miller Place 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 Miller Place. On Rover:

  • 92% of sitters can help with special care needs
  • 94% 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.
