Maria became me and Zeppy's guardian angel. Zeppy suffered a medical emergency while I was in another country and Maria took her to the ER and did not leave her side until I was able to return in the evening the next day. Her updates were consistent, thorough (and with precious photos). She kept me updated during every step big or small and was just genuinely loving and compassionate, navigating everything at the vet. I am so grateful that Maria was Zeppy's sitter and would recommend her to anyone for watching their pet.

About: My first dog care experience was when i adopted my first dog Coco, at 7 years Old. Coco was the most problematic dog at the adoption center, but with my care she became a loving, kind dog I cared for Coco until she passed away when I was 14 years Old. When i was 14 I got a Golden Retriever Puppy and named him Yogi. I raised him and trainer him from puppy to old age, and he was the most kind, loving, well behaved dog I have ever met. He passed away a few years ago. I am currently able to take care of your pet in the early evenings. I work overnights. So i will be available for Bathroom Breaks, Feeding, Caring etc during the day. I am only able to care for your dog at your home at the moment. I have several Internationally Verified Background Checks passed because I worked with children in my previous Career as a Youth Sports Coach. I am certified in Health, Safety and Supervision by University of Albany.

About: Hi! I’m Anna, a lifelong animal lover originally from Ukraine, now living in Montauk, NY. I’ve been caring for animals since I was a child, and I truly enjoy spending time with pets of all kinds. I offer reliable, loving care for dogs, cats, and even more unique pets—because I know they’re family. I had a dog of my own in the past and know how important it is to find someone you trust to care for your pup. I also grew up with cats and have always had them in my life. I understand that every animal has its own personality and needs, and I do my best to make sure each one feels safe, relaxed, and loved while you're away. Right now, I share my home with a flock of chickens and a calm, friendly bearded dragon. I’m comfortable with daily routines, feeding, cleaning, administering basic medications, and giving pets the attention they deserve—whether that’s playtime, a walk, or just some quiet company. I treat every animal like my own and always take the time to get to know them. I’ll keep you updated with photos and messages so you have peace of mind knowing your pet is in caring hands. Whether you're looking for a dependable dog walker, a gentle and patient cat sitter, or someone to check on your pets, I’d be happy to help. I work part-time during the week, so I’m available for pet care after 3 PM on weekdays and fully available on weekends. Whether you need a weekday afternoon walk, a weekend drop-in, or some extra love for your pets while you're away, I’m here and happy to help! In clients’ homes, I follow your pet’s routine as closely as possible—because I know how comforting familiar smells, sounds, and spaces are to them. I make sure they have fresh food and water, clean up after them, give them lots of love and attention, and follow any specific instructions you leave. Whether it’s a quick walk, playtime, feeding, or medication, I handle it with care and patience.

About: I’ve raised and cared for four dogs with wildly different needs: two spirited mixed breeds, a clever Golden Doodle, and a loyal Rottweiler. This hands-on experience taught me how to adapt to every pup’s unique temperament—whether it’s managing a high-energy Doodle’s playfulness, building confidence in shy mixes, or reinforcing gentle discipline for strong breeds like Rotties. **What I Offer:** ✅ **Breed-Specific Insight**: Familiar with the quirks of designer breeds (like Doodles’ smarts + hyperactivity) and powerful guardians (like Rottweilers’ loyalty). ✅ **Puppy Fundamentals**: Housebreaking, leash training, socialization, and basic commands—no bad habits on my watch! ✅ **Tailored Care**: Your dog’s routine = my priority. Need a marathon fetch session? A calm cuddle buddy? Done. I treat every dog like family because, well, they *are*. Let’s chat about how I can keep your pup happy, safe, and thriving! I’m available in the afternoon after 7pm. On my days off I’m fully available for all your pets needs. Runs, walks, cuddles you name it ! Safety always comes first ! By first always figuring out what your pet is comfortable with and what they do not like ! My focus is to always make them feel welcomed and have fun !

Gavin was GREAT! He stayed with and played with our two kids (dogs) and lived in our home in East Hampton for close to 3 weeks while we were in New Zealand. While we were away he kept in constant touch with us supplying an endless stream of photos and videos clearly evincing the progress of the dogs trauma of us leaving, with the initial photo of the dogs look of being held hostage (semi joke) to the next of enjoyment with and of the dogs and the dogs change too). He clearly loved them and they loved him back. He is VERY communicative and we appreciated it. He follows direction well and since he lives nearby to us didn't have to travel far to take care of his other responsibilities such as other dogs (like his own). A very responsible fellow and will of course use him again when we return from FL.

I had a great experience with Meredith pet sitting for me while I was away for a week! My dog has quite a few quirks and Meredith was very accommodating and attentive to all her needs. She checked in with me regularly and I was happy to return to a well-loved pup and clean home. Would absolutely recommend her :)

About: Hi, I’m Stephanie! A dependable, detail-oriented pet sitter based in the NYC/Hamptons with a genuine love for animals and providing high-quality care. I understand how important it is to have someone trustworthy, calm, and attentive looking after your pets and home while you’re away! I’m experienced with dogs of different sizes, temperaments, and routines, and I’m happy to accommodate everything from long beach walks and active playtime to slower-paced companionship and structured care. I prioritize communication, consistency, and making sure your pet feels comfortable, safe, and loved in their familiar environment. Whether you’re away for the weekend, spending time in the city, or traveling longer-term, I aim to provide a seamless, reliable experience and peace of mind for both you and your pet. I have flexibility in my remote work schedule where I can spend extra time with pets. I’m typically signed on from 9am-5pm with periodic meetings, but am able to step away for breaks during the workday. Ensure that your pet is comfortable with me! I usually prefer some extra time together when arriving to make sure they feel safe with me in your home.

About: I was lucky enough to grow up with dogs and cats my whole childhood and have never spent a day in my house without a pet there. I love animals so much and it brings me so much joy to connect with them. I understand the patience and empathy it takes to get to know an animal and for them to feel comfortable around us. One day I hope to open up an animal shelter of my own on a big plot of land somewhere in the country and provide support to all kinds of animals. I currently go to college but I have afternoons and weekends free to play and care for your babies. I have breaks in my day as well in case your doggies get lonely or need a walk! In my home we let the animals come and go as they please with the doggy door, but we try and take the dogs on a long walk once a day to keep em healthy. We feed them dry food in the morning and wet at night. I try and spend a lot of time with my pets to create a familiar bond with them.

My best friend, Roquefort, a 13 year old Great Dane has been suffering with mobility issues, resulting from aging. Albert proved to be a godsend as I have commitments in NYC without someone to care for Roq in my absence. He strictly adhered to all the details of care we covered and even provided more. Albert's general demeanor was perfect as he is a calm person with sensitivities to the needs at hand. Handling Roq was not easy, as he is a large creature requiring assistance to move about. He made my apprehension fade, knowing he would provide devoted attendance to Roq's needs, with much gentle treatment and constant awareness of his needs. I'm very glad that Albert is now a resource.

About: Hi, I’m Rachel, and I’ve been caring for animals for over two decades. For the past several years, I’ve traveled the country as a trusted pet sitter through reputable apps and personal referrals, providing high-quality care in homes across the U.S. What began as a lifelong love for animals has grown into a full-time calling rooted in reliability, intuition, and genuine respect for the pets and families I serve. Now that I’m back home, I’m excited to offer local pet care with the same level of professionalism and heart I’ve brought to every sit nationwide. Your pets’ comfort, safety, and happiness will always be my top priority :) I’m a homebody who works from home, so pet care fits perfectly into my day. I’m around to give them attention, keep them company, and make sure they feel safe and loved the whole time. I care for pets in other peoples homes currently, if it’s family, friends or clients I’ve met throughout the years, my main priority is to ensure a safe and healthy environment for every animal. This includes bathing, always making sure they have food and water/or following specific feeding times, play time, walks, pets, relaxation time.

About: My name is Alex and I would love to care for your furbabies as if they were my own! I host one family at a time (up to three pets from the same family). This ensures a premium experience for your pet that is calm, friendly and enjoyable. I do not have children or any pets of my own-this way I am be able to maintain a stress free environment for your pet to avoid any anxiety or nervousness around children or new animals. It is my job to put you and your pets at ease while you are away or busy. I want to ensure a stress free experience for all. 🐾 I will always be around to supervise the animals while I petsit! I offer a happy and calming experience for your pet in which they will enjoy lots of attention and cuddles/playtime from me or naps and comfort time and relaxing music should they desire. I’ve taken care of a number pets throughout my life. I grew up with small terriers and had fish too. Friends animals were always like my own. I adopted my beloved cat Calvin when I was 21 and in December 2022, 11 years later, he passed away leaving a hole in my heart. He had many health problems such as asthma and IBS, for which he was on several daily medications. This taught me to administer oral medication in pill pockets and use an inhaler attachment for him. I miss being around animals in general now that he’s been gone. I am looking so much forward to being able to provide boarding in my lakeside home. At this time, I’m not able to offer housesitting, very happily offer drop ins house sits and walks! Kindly note: * if your dog has a history of aggression towards people or has indoor accidents frequently I will not be able to host them. *Experience with breeds such as greyhounds, who may need a more quiet atmosphere I am available consistently at the moment as I run a part time home business. 24 hour consistent time with your pet is ensured. If they wish they can also sleep in the bedroom/bed. The fenced yard is big enough to run around supervised and also has tiered retaining walls. I also have a separate area for a cat(s) and a walk in closet style litter box “room”. I have plenty of toys, treats and catnip. At this time, I’m not able to offer boarding, very happily offer drop ins house sits and walks!

FAQs for House Sitting - Montauk

Frequently asked questions about Rover

The average cost for House Sitting in Montauk on Rover is $105.45 per night (as of August 2026). However, all sitters set their own rates based on experience, location, and availability.

Rover makes budgeting the cost of House Sitting easy. As long as your dates and pet profiles are correct, the price you see before you book is the same price you pay for House Sitting. For more information on service fees, click here .

As of August 2026, there are 264 sitters on Rover offering House Sitting across Montauk. 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 Montauk 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 Montauk 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 Montauk 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 short introductory meeting between you, your pet, and a sitter. It can take place in person or virtually, although we recommend in-person so that your pet can get to know your sitter 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. Most pet parents and sitters on Rover welcome Meet & Greets because the process can give confidence and peace of mind for service experiences, especially for longer stays or first-time bookings.

Sitters on Rover set their own cancellation policy, which you can find on their profile under their calendar availability.

Cancelling before a booking begins and before the sitter's cutoff time qualifies you for a full refund. Same-day cancellations for walks, day care, and drop-ins follow the full refund policy. Otherwise, for dog boarding and house sitting, you will receive a 50% refund for the first seven days of the booking and a 100% refund for the remaining days when you cancel the same day a booking should begin.

If your sitter needs to cancel within seven days of the booking's start date, then our reservation protection will kick in. This means our support team works with you to find a replacement sitter.

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

  • 93% of sitters can help with special care needs
  • 97% can help with giving oral medications or injections
  • 100% 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.
