About: i’ve been taking care of dogs ever since I was a little girl. I helped my mom out every day with our two dogs that I have in my house and I help my grandpa out with his dog as well. I used to have 100-140 pound Pitbull‘s so I am able to work with big dogs as well. One of my dogs at home is blind, so I do take extra care of him and I am able to work with dogs that need a little extra care I am currently attending college at stony brook university. I am looking for a job to keep me busy but manageable with classes. I am also missing my dogs back at home so I would love to be able to tend to other peoples dogs!! I am available every day of the week, the hours do differ each day depending on my classes that day! I have 2 dogs at home. One of them is blind so i do have to take extra care of him. I take my dogs on daily walks/runs. I also pet sit for my families and friends. My other do at home is very hyper and needs a lot of exercise and I tend to be the one in my family who takes her out and plays with her.

About: Hi! My name is Rebecca, and I've grown up with both dogs and cats. I currently have two dogs and a cat of my own, so I understand the importance of finding someone you can trust to care for your pets. I've been pet sitting for the past few months and really enjoy caring for animals and spending time with them. I'm available for walks, drop-in visits, and overnight stays. I'm available on both weekdays and weekends and look forward to meeting you and your pets! I have a flexible schedule and am available on both weekdays and weekends. I can accommodate morning, afternoon, and evening walks or drop-in visits, as well as overnight stays. I'm happy to work with pet owners to find a schedule that fits their needs. I understand how important it is to feel comfortable leaving your pets in someone else's care in your own home. I always prioritize their safety and well-being, and follow any instructions provided. I'm attentive to their needs and will keep you updated during visits so you can have peace of mind while you're away.

About: I've grown up with German Shepherds and was always around my cousin's golden doodles. I have a natural & instant rapport with dogs. I've cared for my cousin's dog while they were away for two weeks in Europe. One of my favorite things to do is to walk my dog on the beach & watch her have the time of her life! I am available for drop in visits & dog walks. I am in grad school and attend class remotely every other week, so I am pretty much available at any time of day. I am available to care for pets in my client's homes. In regard to what my visit routine looks like when I've cared for my friend's dogs: I let the pup out to go to the bathroom, feed the pup and give water, and then go for a walk. Of course, depending upon the instructions my client gives me, I act accordingly.

“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’ve been around and caring for animals for as long as I can remember and absolutely love being around dogs and cats. I have experience caring for dogs of different ages, personalities, and energy levels, and I understand that every pet has their own unique routine and needs. I’m patient, attentive, and responsible, and I treat every pet as if they were my own. Whether your pup needs lots of playtime, a long walk, extra cuddles, or simply some company while you’re away, I’m happy to give them the attention and care they deserve. I’m also comfortable following feeding schedules, medication instructions, and any specific routines or preferences you have for your pet. I have a very flexible schedule because I balance babysitting and substitute teaching at an elementary school. My schedule varies from week to week, which allows me to be flexible and work around your pet’s needs. Weekends are completely available, and I’m often available during weekdays as well. I’m happy to communicate ahead of time to find a schedule that works best for you and your pet. I understand how important consistency and reliability are when trusting someone with your animals, and I’ll always do my best to accommodate their routine. Your pet’s safety and happiness are my top priorities. I’m attentive to their surroundings, behavior, and individual needs, and I’ll always follow the instructions and routines you provide. I’m comfortable caring for pets in their own home and understand that keeping them in a familiar environment can help them feel comfortable while their family is away. I’ll make sure they receive plenty of attention, exercise, fresh water, meals as scheduled, and lots of love. I’ll also keep you updated so you can feel confident knowing your pet is safe, happy, and well cared for while you’re away.

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!

John was great! He came a couple of times before the actual dog sitting day so that we were comfortable with him and the dogs. The dogs were well cared for, loved, and happy while we were away. Communication was excellent. We would absolutely recommend John and use again!

Tatiana was lovely, she came to the house to meet Bentley prior to watching him. She was responsible, showed up exactly on time and stayed with our baby. The house was clean and tidy when we returned, she was very respectful of our home. We recommend her highly and will absolutely have her stay with Bentley again.

FAQs for House Sitting - Nissequogue

Frequently asked questions about Rover

The average cost of House Sitting in Nissequogue is $97 per night as of November 2026. Most bookings cost between $90 and $105 per night. On Rover, 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 November 2026, there are 3,383 sitters on Rover offering House Sitting across Nissequogue. 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 Nissequogue 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 Nissequogue 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 Nissequogue 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 Nissequogue. On Rover:

  • 88% of sitters can help with special care needs
  • 91% 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.
