About: I’ve always loved animals and have experience caring for many different kinds of pets, including dogs, cats, chickens, and even reptiles! I’m very responsible, patient, and attentive, and I truly enjoy making pets feel safe, happy, and cared for while their owners are away. I’ve watched numerous animals over the years and understand how important it is to treat every pet like family. Whether your pet loves playtime, cuddles, walks, or just a calm and caring environment, I’ll make sure they get the best care possible! I currently work part-time, so I have a flexible schedule and plenty of time to give pets lots of attention, care, and playtime throughout the day. I’m available for walks, drop-ins, boarding, and pet sitting during most weekdays and weekends. I love spending time with animals and making sure they feel comfortable, safe, and happy while their owners are away. Your pet’s safety and comfort are always my top priority. I provide a calm, loving, and clean environment where pets can feel relaxed and cared for. I’m very attentive to routines, feeding schedules, medications, and any special instructions provided by owners. I also have experience around different types of animals and understand the importance of patience, supervision, and making pets feel secure.
“We never have to worry about our pups when Julie is watching them. They are in wonderful hands. Julie has made weekends away so much easier. She is a reliable person and trustworthy.”
“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: Dogs have been my greatest love my entire life. I currently have two husky mixes of my own and know firsthand what it takes to care for high energy, strong breeds. I’ve raised puppies and work regularly with a professional trainer to continue their growth and development. I founded a premium dog lifestyle brand because I believe dogs deserve the best — and that’s exactly the standard I bring to every walk and visit. Your dog gets my full attention, consistent care, and photo updates throughout. I keep my client list small on purpose so every dog in my care gets exactly what they deserve. I only accept friendly dogs — this ensures a safe and enjoyable experience for everyone. I’m available for dog walks and drop-in visits on Mondays, Wednesdays, and Fridays starting at 3:30 PM, with full availability on Saturdays and Sundays. I understand that every dog has their own routine, and I’m happy to accommodate early mornings, evenings, and extended visits on weekends to make sure your pet receives the care and attention they deserve. While I don’t offer overnight stays, I’m happy to arrange extended daytime and evening care, including staying late and returning early the next morning when needed. My goal is to help your dog feel comfortable, safe, and cared for while keeping their routine as consistent as possible. As the owner of two husky mixes, I have firsthand experience caring for strong, energetic dogs and understand how important patience, consistency, and safety are. Whether we’re out enjoying a walk or spending time together at home, your dog’s well-being is always my priority. I intentionally keep my client list small so I can provide personalized, attentive care without rushing from one appointment to the next. I also provide photos and updates throughout visits, giving you peace of mind knowing your dog is in good hands. For everyone’s safety, I welcome friendly, well-socialized dogs and always prioritize a calm, positive experience. When I’m in your home or with your dog on a walk, your pet’s safety is my number one priority. I have two husky mixes of my own so I’m experienced handling strong, high energy dogs on leash. I’m attentive, calm, and always aware of my surroundings. I provide photo updates throughout every visit so you always know your dog is safe and happy. I only accept friendly dogs to ensure a safe experience for everyone.
“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 grew up with dogs in my home, as well as family members of my own. I now have 2 puppies myself, a bully mix and a German Shepherd. I got them both young at only a few months so I understand the hard work, compassion, and patience it takes to raise well rounded dogs. I currently work as a per diem Occupational Therapist so I am looking to fill in my schedule as needed! My schedule is very flexible so I am willing to work with whatever is needed Currently I am in an apartment so I believe it would be better for me to watch the pets in your home. I am willing to do whatever is needed to ensure you feel comfortable
About: I am a huge animal lover and have spent a lot of time rescuing homeless cats in my neighborhood. I have trapped 20 stray cats, vetted them, and found them homes. From this I have 7 of my own cats. I also have rescued two dogs from shelters. One is a Pitbull and the other an English Bull Dog. Growing up I always had pets around. As a Special Education Teacher I am available all weekdays after 5pm and I have complete open availability on weekends and school vacations (December, April). I have no problem with high energy or needy animals. I am comfortable cleaning up pet messes, playing, walking, and providing medicine if needed. I will do anything an animal needs.
About: I’ve been taking care of dogs for 5 years. Since I became a dog mom of a tiny puppy, I have studied to be the best at taking care not only of my dog but also neighbors and family dogs. I’m currently studying part time so I would have time to take care of your pets and provide for everything they need in a safe and loving environment. I can take care of your pets at my home or your home depending on what’s best for you and me and which one works with our schedule.
“Sophia took great care of my pet and home while I was away on a work trip. My pup seemed happy and well taken care of when I got back, and my place was well kept. Thank you, Sophia!”
“Jordan is an absolute dream! She took care of my dog this past weekend and kept me updated with the cutest videos and pics all day. She spoke to my dog so kindly and was so gentle in the videos. I know my dog so well and could tell that she adores Jordan and felt very comfortable with her. I tend to get a lot of anxiety leaving my dog with other people and I can confidently say I never had any anxiety this week. Jordan was so attentive and amazing for keeping me in the loop. She also stayed at my home and I’m pretty sure she left it cleaner than when she arrived! I cannot wait to work with Jordan again.”
About: I have taken care of my dogs and my friends and families pets for over 10 years! I love our furry friends and am great at walking and feeding them however much they may need! I am currently working but I have a pretty open schedule for this summer. Please let me know which days you would like to work together and I will be sure to accommodate as best I can. Since my service will be at your home, I intend to take the pets out as needed and making sure that I stay with them whenever they go out. When on walks I make sure to be aware of my surroundings so that both your pets and I stay safe.

FAQs for House Sitting - New Suffolk
Frequently asked questions about Rover
As of November 2026, there are 494 sitters on Rover offering House Sitting across New Suffolk. 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 New Suffolk 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 New Suffolk 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 New Suffolk 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.
