About: Hi! I’m an avid animal lover with over 10 years of experience caring for animals of all kinds. As a proud pet parent to three dogs and two cats, I know firsthand that our pets aren’t just animals—they’re family! ❤️ My love for animals goes beyond just providing basic care. I believe every pet deserves patience, attention, affection, and a safe, loving environment where they feel comfortable and happy. Whether it’s going for walks, playtime, cuddles, feeding, or simply keeping your furry friend company, I’m happy to make sure they receive the love and care they deserve. Over the years, I’ve gained experience caring for a variety of animals, and I understand that every pet has their own unique personality, needs, and routines. I’m committed to making sure your pets feel safe, comfortable, and loved while you’re away. I know how important it is to trust someone with your beloved pets, and I would treat yours with the same love and care I give my own. I can’t wait to meet your furry family members! 🐶🐱❤️ I work full-time from home and my job is very flexible. I’m able to accept same day requests and can check on your pet frequently if needed. I will be sure to be very respectable of your home and will make sure everything is as it was when I came in. Will clean up any mess made by pet if needed.
About: I’ve been caring for pets for over 10 years, and it’s truly my passion! I love getting to know each pet’s unique quirks and routines, whether that means long walks, quiet cuddles, or extra playtime. I’m reliable, gentle, and always make sure your pets feel secure and loved while you’re gone. I'm currently working remotely from home so I have plenty of time to dedicate myself to any pets schedule or routine. I have reliable transport and I am available all throughout the day and night for updates, schedule changes and even just to send pictures when requested so you know your pet is in the best hands and comfortable. I have a fenced in yard and reliable big transport. I am dedicated to commiting to whatever routine or schedule any pet is in need of while their pet parents are away. I have 10 years experience and worked with shelters for all breeds of dogs and all cat personalities from friendly to shy and will be able to make each and every pet comfortable and safe.

About: I’ve loved and cared for dogs for 15+ years. I’m the person who stops mid-conversation because a dog walked by. I have a senior chihuahua named Mia!

I work from home and have a very flexible schedule, so your pet won’t be squeezed into my day — they’ll basically become part of it. Walks, playtime and random conversations included.

About: Hello! My name is Riley, I’m 25 years old, and I have lived and cared for animals for 18+ years. I had a golden retriever who has passed, and I have two cats Charlie and Nyla, whom I adore and love to play/take care of! I have experience walking small and big dogs and hyperactive furry friends. Growing up, I would walk my neighbor's dogs multiple times a week and spend time at their houses while they were on vacation. I can also work with other types of animals as well if need be! I am flexible. I’m currently a barista, so I have a flexible work schedule! Most of the time I’d like a couple of days in advance notice, however if it’s last minute, please feel free to contact me about dropping in! Weekends available as well. When my family dog was still alive, we would feed her early in the am and let her out. We'd feed her again mid-day and once more at night. We would walk her once a day and play with her outside for a chunk of time. As for my cats, we would feed them wet food morning and night and some dry food mid-day. Litter box cleaning would occur a couple of times a week and playtime, was basically all the time!
About: Hi I’m Jess! I have been an animal lover my whole life and saw Rover as a wonderful opportunity to meet some cute little friends and help make some extra money to help me out. Pets have always had a special place in my heart and I would love to meet some of yours! I have had many animals throughout my life from various types of fish, bearded dragon, hamsters, guinea pigs, a small dog (shitzu- Maltese who just passed away last year at 16 years old), a bird Connie (sun conure - 10 years old) and 2 cats Jack and Jill (13 years old). Many friends and family have trusted me to care for and love their pets when they need a little extra help. I am a very reliable and loving pet sitter with a pretty open schedule. I am currently working remotely so if you have reliable wifi I can work from your house while caring for your animals. I live in Babylon, but am open to helping out on most of the island if it’s a good fit. I am willing to travel to the city for longer/over night stays as well. Whether you need me for daily dog walks/ feedings, or want to take a nice vacation but need your animals and house looked after - I am your girl. Please let me know if you have any questions or special requests and I will do my best to help you out! I am currently unemployed and looking for a new job after the summer is over so my schedule is pretty free. I primarily live in Babylon, but my spend more than half of my week normally in Long Beach with at my boyfriends house because I play volleyball and have a lot of friends here! So I am open to helping in any nearby neighborhoods. I grew up with many different animals and always treated them with love and affection. I will make sure they are walked on time, get some play/active time, and of course always have food and water. Anything that will make the client and the pet happy :)

Pet parents share their Rover experiences - North Babylon
Lilian was wonderful to work with. She took care of our dogs (14 and 7months) as well as our chickens. Lilian had no problem with following the instructions for the dogs meds and feeding. I was so nervous to go away with a medical senior but Lilian gave me piece of mind with her calm care, updates and communication. I would definitely recommend Lilian and I would definitely use Lilian again to care for our pets!

10/10 would highly recommend! Kristin was one of the best sitters I've ever had! My kitties absolutely adored her and she went above and beyond while she was here. Kristin kept me up to date on how everything was going and made me feel super comfortable being away from my animals. Thank you so much for everything!

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 October 2026, there are 16,754 sitters on Rover offering House Sitting across North Babylon. 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 North Babylon 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 North Babylon 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 North Babylon 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 , 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 .
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 .
sitters on Rover set their own , 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.
