About: I’ve taken care of dogs and other pets since I was little. Pets of my own, family and friends. I’ve always been dependable and so loving of animals. I’m here to give them the little bit of extra love throughout the day while the parents are away. I am available throughout most of the day! I have my own car, no problem there. I can do multiple potty breaks throughout the day if necessary! I provide pets with a happy environment. I do live in an apartments so I don’t usually care for pets in my home but I can if needed.
About: I've been around pets all my life and developed a strong understanding of animal care from a young age. As an adult, I’ve gained hands-on experience with a range of pet personalities, from energetic working dogs and playful kittens, to nervous rescues with behavioral challenges. I helped socialize two shy, unhappy adult cats, one of whom took over a year to build trust. I’ve cared for Sonny, a reactive corgi mix, supporting his training, managing reactivity on walks, and recognizing stress signals. I’ve also bonded with Zelda, an anxious German Shepherd mix, helping her feel safe through patience and consistent care. I’ve managed feeding, walks, training, and emotional support for each pet with empathy and respect for their unique needs. I am a freelancer, so I work remotely and make my own schedule. This gives me a lot of flexibility for in-home visits and dog walks. I always carefully follow the instructions given by the pet parent. For working dog breeds, I make sure to give them long walks and plenty of play time. For more apprehensive animals, I will be mindful about making loud noises or sudden movement and give them time to warm up to me. I always adapt to the pets’ needs and send plenty of photo updates to the parents along the way.
About: I have taken care of dogs my whole life, including my two childhood dogs and I’ve babysat and watched other families dogs for 10 years now during highschool and college. I am now a physician assistant and have a rotating schedule that allows me to be home during the week. I am on both Wag and Rover. I have a rotating schedule and am home most days of the week, and able to spend a lot of time with the doggies. I eventually want to get my own again! I have a really nice neighborhood to walk the dogs around, my friend also does rover who lives next door! There’s a ton of parks to play fetch and run around with them as well if that’s something you’d be interested in.
About: Hi everyone! I wanted to get started on Rover because I have experience watching friends, family, and neighbors dogs and I would love to meet some more furry friends! My first job was working at a vets office walking the dogs in the back and since then I have been walking dogs and dog-sitting around my neighborhood. I also grew up with my amazing dog Maddie, so I understand your pets are more then animals they are truly family. I love creating a calm, loving and happy environment for your babies. I can't wait to meet them! I'm currently working part-time so I have a very flexible schedule. I am able go over and take care of them any date, time, or holiday. Dog Walks- Reliable exercise with care and attention. Check Ins- Feeding, playtime, or quick potty breaks I always want to provide a safe and loving environment. I will handle your fur baby with care, love, and intention. I require that I meet your dog before I take care of them. The most important thing is that there is trust between me and your dog.
“Samantha is professional, polite, responsive and very easy to work with. She provides excellent care for all of our animals, especially our diabetic cat with a high thyroid that requires extra attention! We are very thankful to have Samantha help care for our animals when we need. If you are looking for a high quality pet sitter look no further!”
About: I have owned dogs all my life. When I turned 10, I got my own dog and he has been my best friend ever since. I have experience pet sitting and dog walking! I am currently home for the summer, so I have plenty of time to care for your pets! I am available for most of June and July. I am happy to care for your animals in any way you see fit. Please provide me with detailed instructions outlining how to properly care for your pet!
About: I’ve grown up around dogs and have been caring for them most of my life, so being attentive to their needs comes naturally to me. I treat every pet like they’re my own; making sure they feel safe, comfortable, and loved while you’re away. I’m reliable, patient, and pay close attention to routines, whether that’s feeding schedules, walks, or just giving them the extra affection they’re used to. I’ll always keep you updated with photos and check-ins for peace of mind. I’m especially patient with shy or anxious dogs and take the time to help them feel at ease. My fiancé, Eric has also always grown up with dogs and was responsible for taking care of dogs and his cat while growing up and they all lived will into their senior years. He is great with more high energy and active dogs, going on long walks, or runs and hikes with them. I work full time where I commute Monday-Friday. Weekends I’m home. My Fiancé also works full time but he gets out a little earlier than I do. For weekend stays we are available to give your furry family the most attention and care. If there is need during the week I’m usually away from home for 10 hours during the day including my commute time to and from work. We will walk and feed them before we leave in the morning and as soon as either of us gets home will do the same and then again before bedtime. In our home, pets are cared for in a calm, safe environment. We live on the second floor of a house in a suburban neighborhood with sidewalks, which allows for safe, structured walks. While we don’t have direct yard access, we make sure dogs get regular walks, exercise, and attention. I also have a senior cat who is naturally shy and takes time to warm up, so I’m very understanding of pets who may be anxious or need a slower, more gentle approach. In a client’s home, I focus on maintaining your pet’s normal routine as closely as possible whether that’s feeding schedules, walks, playtime, or quiet time. I’m attentive to their behavior and needs, and I always aim to make them feel comfortable and secure while you’re away.
About: I have taken care of pets for years, and would love to make sure they're well cared for when you're busy. We know they are some of the biggest parts of our lives, but they can't be every part! My schedule changes weekly because I currently work in an emergency room. However, I only work 3 days a week, which gives me a lot of free time! In my home, I feed and play with my three cats daily, I clean their litterbox and make sure their activity aligns with that of a healthy pet. I stay aware of any signs of sickness, even subtle ones and make sure they receive the care they need.
“Melanie and Anthony went above and beyond taking care of our 2 dogs. Caring professional.and reliable dog sitters. Use them if you can. Great communicators too.”
“Sharon took care of my two cats for 5 days. She was absolutely amazing, provided daily updates/photos, was accessible and went above and beyond to make sure my fur babies were taken care of while I was away!”
About: I genuinely love spending time with dogs and would love to give your pup some extra exercise, attention, and companionship when you can’t be there. I’m available weekdays after 5:00 PM and on weekends, making me a great option for evening walks, weekend outings, and drop-in visits. During every visit, I’ll treat your dog with the same care and attention I’d want for my own. Before our first visit, I’d love to learn about your dog’s routine, personality, favorite activities, feeding needs, and anything else that helps them feel comfortable. I’m also happy to do a meet-and-greet beforehand so you and your dog can get to know me.
“I can’t recommend Madison enough. She followed all my instructions perfectly and was amazing with providing updates on my cat. I highly recommend her and will absolutely use her again.”
“Sarah was great at stopping by and caring for my two cats. I almost think to good, my cats didn't seem to miss me when I got back. Sarah sent photos and spent time with them so they didn't feel neglected. Sarah also went above and beyond by shoveling snow! It snowed while I was away and Sarah cleared the walk way and some of the driveway. Plus she also let the cats have some outdoor time in the snow (they are indoor/outdoor cats so it was good that they got some outdoor time while I was away so things seemed normal).”
About: All my life I have taken care of animals big and small. Special care or simple care they will be loved and safe with me. I work a hybrid job, from home Monday and Friday office tues-Thurs. all fur babies baby will love the attention and affection they will get. In my home they will have a safe room to sleep or stay in if they want quiet or they can mingle around the house. In your home I would follow your instructions as to where they are allowed to be. At my home our yard is only fenced on 3 sides while it is a large space they would be on a lead at all times.
“Jess took care of my pup Leia while I was away for the day at a baseball game and sent me update photos each visit and some comments on how the visit went. Leia had a lot of fun. Will definitely use Jess again!”
“Fantastic. My cat was very comfortable and happy with Julia as her drop in visitor. She provided excellent service, updates, pictures, and made sure my cat was well cared for while I was away. 10/10”
About: My background in canine care began at the Little Shelter Animal Adoption Center in Huntington, NY in 2008. I was employed there for several years as a dog walker and socializer, working with a wide variety of dogs and puppies from many different walks of life. All of the dogs were rescues, and so special care needed to be provided, with exercise, playtime, feeding, and even medication distribution. After working at the shelter, I found myself at a few local grooming parlors, working as a bather. As you've probably experienced, most dogs do not love being bathed and groomed, and so I would try my very best to make them comfortable in the unfamiliar situation they were in, taking the time to check in on them frequently and give them lots of reassurance and loving. Patience goes a long way! In January of 2015 I had my first two-month long house and pet sitting job. However, since then I've been working a full time office job and have been unable to enjoy much time with canine companions. I will regularly pet sit for close friends and family, but I'm ready to spend more time around furry friends! I'd love to meet you and your pup and ensure that they're properly taken care of and loved while you're out on the weekend, working, or away on vacation! I'm currently working part-time, with a very flexible schedule, so there's a good chance I'll be able to accommodate your scheduling needs! Reach out to me with any questions. I have two cats at who are cautious of other animals, so I'm happy to care for your pet in your home! I'd love to learn about your pet's routine and preferences to provide them the best care possible.
About: I grew up with 5 dogs at home and are comfortable with all breeds. I have a fenced in yard and walking path for great exercise. I have been pet sitting for over 15 years! I can handle anything from birds to bunnies and more! I’ll send you daily updates as well as photos. I am comfortable hosting or coming to you. In my home all pets are allowed in furniture and beds. I don’t mind sleeping over if that’s what your fur baby is comfortable with!
“Suzanne is amazing with dogs ! She has two rescues of her own and makes every dog feel comfortable. She knows how to handle dogs with extreme anxiety like mine. Will be using her again when I go on vacation.”
The median cost per visit for dog sitting in Nesconset is $25
Dog parents share their Rover experiences - Nesconset
This was our first time using Rover, and we’re so glad we found Katherine. We really appreciated all of the timely updates and, most importantly, knowing that Dakota was happy and well cared for while we were away. It was clear that he had a great time with Katherine, and he is already looking forward to his next stay with her. 🐾❤️
Kim is reliable, communicative, and amazing with animals! She has been doing drop in visits for our puppy for several months now and we have nothing but good things to say about her! She has helped worked on many tricks and behaviors with our dog to keep her mentally stimulated during her visits and she’s amazing about not encouraging unwanted behaviors like jumping that we are working on. Highly recommend her! We have been recommending her to all our friends!!
Jess was incredible! This was our first time using a dog sitter that did drop in visits. We usually board at the a big name store. Jess was so nice and caring to our two dogs. She stopped in multiple times and always took the time to play with them and send us pictures and or videos. My dogs absolutely loved her. We will no longer be boarding the dogs and will hire Jess for future vacations. Total peace of mind. So glad we found her. Highly recommend!!

Whether you’re at the office for the day or traveling for a few nights, a pet sitter can offer potty breaks during a Nesconset stroll, cleaning the litter box, or making sure your pet has on-time food or water refills.

Tip: You can discuss your specific arrangements with a pet sitter on Rover to what fits you, your pet, and your sitter’s needs. To find what their special skills are, look at the "Skills" and "Pet care experience" sections on their profile.
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 Nesconset 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!
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.

A Meet & Greet is a short introductory meeting between you, your dog, 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.
While Rover doesn’t offer traditional subscription services, some sitters offer recurring bookings for services like home visits and dog walking. Recurring services come with their own perks, such as flexibility to modify services (up to five weeks in advance), automatic billing, Rover Card updates, and same-day cancellations.
To find sitters in Nesconset with recurring or weekly availability, select "Repeat Weekly" and which days you’d like them to care for your pet.
