“Jess was reliable and thoughtful. Hand feeding our puppy when he wouldn’t eat his food. We were able to enjoy our mini vacation, knowing that our puppy was in good hands.”
“This is atleast the forth time Anthony And Melanie have stayed at the house during our trips taking magnificent care of Ollie. The are kind, pet knowledgeable and Ollie adores them! No worries when they are here looking after Ollie. Barbars and Frank Navetta”
“Kelly was such a great caretaker for our babies and our house! She is so patient and loving; she took excellent care of everyone; and she gave us frequent photos and updates while staying at our house. We will absolutely ask her to care for our pets again!”
“Staci is a phenomenal dog sitter! She stayed at our place for a whole week and watched two of our pups, one of whom is really quite a challenge. He has health issues and an attitude and Staci was able to accommodate his needs. Thanks to her we were able to take our first vacation together in three years!!!”
“Another wonderful job by Amanda! Our elder dog Chelsea was getting over not feeling well and Amanda cared for her like she was her own. She gave lots of feedback and pics. Showered our Chelsea Girl with attention. Will book again!”
“We've had Sharon over twice now to watch pets and house sit, and it's been a great experience. We come home to very happy animals. She's an all-around pro, and it's made it so much easier to travel.”
“Kimberly took us as a last minute house sitting booking and was even able to squeeze in a meet & greet. She was really good to our 2 dogs and 2 cats and we could trust her in our home. We’re so happy to have found her! Thank you, Kimberly!”
“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!”
“I reached out to Tricia in a bit of a panic as our normal dog sitting options fell through very last minute. Not only did she make time to help, she went above and beyond to make sure our puppy feel loved. Right from the meet and greet my dog took to her like she was part of the family, and my travel anxiety was immediately put at ease as she ran through her care plan. We truly can't thank you enough, Tricia! You were amazing in every way!”
“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: I am an experienced dog walker, and pet owner. I was a Rover walker and dog care friend from 2017 to 2019. After taking time off to attend graduate school, and a pandemic, I am happy to continue taking care of human's best friends again. I've taken care all kinds of dogs, from Siberian Huskies, to bulldogs, to cocker spaniels, beagles, and the young and then the young at heart. My own family's dog is a five-year-old English Bulldog/Beagle mix, Rooney (pictured here as a pup). I currently work full time from home. I love staying active and have a car for easy transportation. If you are interested in doggy-day care, I prefer you request it at least 24 hours in advance. Especially for those circumstances, I prefer to have a meet and greet with you and your dog if possible, to see if we are good fits for each other. Thank you for choosing me to care for your best friend. I look forward to meeting you and your pup! I am home most of the time because I work virtually. As long as I can schedule it beforehand, I can drive to you for walkings. I currently do not board, but in your home I will treat it with the utmost respect as I would my own. I always oblige to my client's wishes in how their dog plays a part in their home.
“Gianna was fabulous!!! Great communication throughout the entire time. Both our dogs loved her very much. We would totally recommend Gianna for all your pets need. We had peace of mind while we were away knowing she was caring for our big puppies and staying at our house. 5 STAR :-)!!”
About: In this past year I’ve been caring for a friends 3 legged dog. She needs extra loving, patience and care that I’m fully able to provide to her and others. My weekends are always open. I’m able to accept last minute requests as well. I’ll work around your schedule. Please reach out to me with any questions! I don’t have any pets, so I’m able to give yours my full attention. I do have a teenager that might come along for a walk, just a heads up.
“Hayley was a wonderful sitter for our 2 year old shepherd mix—highly recommend! Not only did she come to the rescue when our dog sitter backed out last minute, but she also took amazing care of our dog who had just had an injury (requiring close monitoring, medication administration, and wound care). She helped ease our stress, knowing he would be in good hands while we were away. She was quick to respond, easy to communicate with, and so accommodating—sending us plenty of updates, pictures, and videos. She went above and beyond to take care of him and our home.”
“We are so happy we met Nicole to watch our 2 pups and cat while we were away. She handled our 2 big pups like a pro - they are not the easiest and are a bit on guard when meeting new people but she quickly put them at ease. She sent daily updates and followed our instructions perfectly. I am very happy that we have Nicole to trust with our animals!”
“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.”
“Sam was beyond amazing with my two Dachshunds. She sent me updates and photos and I could tell my pups were having the best time with her. Upon arrival home, my house was exactly as I left it, clean and organized, and she was very respectful of my space. I highly recommend her services and I will definitely be using her again!”

Staci is awesome. In addition to caring for our pups (one with a lot of special needs) for a week, she also made sure to update us about the house. At one point the HVAC went out and she coordinated with the company to come and fix the issue. She also picked up the mail and made it so when we came home there was literally nothing to do but hang with our pups and relax. Thank you so much Staci!!!
Lissette helped us tremendously in a pinch. We reached out to her last minute about a week long dog sitting, and was able to fit us in her schedule. Nothing but good things to say about her. Our 2 pups loved her and she treated our home like it was her own. Gave us updates every day with pictures! Highly recommend and will be using Lissette in the future for any other dog sitting needs!
Magda was a wonderful sitter for our dog and two cats! She took the time to do a meet-and-greet beforehand to make sure our pets were comfortable with her, and that our dog got along well with her dog, Frankie. She was very reliable and communicative while we were away and made sure to send updates with very cute pictures and videos! It made traveling much easier knowing our pets were happy and well cared for. We would happily book with Magda again! Highly highly recommend her to anyone looking for a trustworthy and caring pet sitter.
Tatiana was an amazing dog sitter for our dog, Steely! She kept us updated the entire weekend with messages and photos, which gave us so much peace of mind while we were away. It was very clear that Steely was well cared for, loved, and comfortable the whole time. We truly appreciated her communication, reliability, and kindness. We would absolutely recommend Tatiana to anyone looking for a trustworthy and caring pet sitter!
It's imperative to know your "kids" are well taken care of while you're away: it can make or break a trip. Jazlyn kept us abreast of everything, including some impending medical problems. We looked forward each day to the tons of pictures she sent. The best part? When I looked at those pictures, it was obvious that Mac and Zeus were... happy! She is a lovely person who understands your concerns, and we could not have asked for more.

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 Nesconset 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 Nesconset 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 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!
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.
