About: Always feel the warmth of dogs of my family & friends . Usually they run to me right away! Love to play games & take long walks with your dog. Since I’m not currently not employed, I’m available full time & on short notice. It’s so important to keep a consistent routine with your pet so they feel comfortable. I prefer taking care of pets in their home environment. I can drive long distance if needed. Looking forward to getting to know your pet & starting a strong companionship right away.
“Charlotte was absolutely wonderful! She loved on our three dogs and kept us updated while we were away! I was put at ease by the updates and pictures sent! Such a sweet kind soul - we look forward to using her again!”
“Amy was the best, we are so lucky to have found her! She took care of our large dog Luna who is very sweet but also doesn't know her own strength sometimes. Amy is great at handling all sizes of dogs. She kept us informed every day and took good care of our house too. We (including Luna) highly recommend!”
“Jessica was great at communicating, responded very quickly and sent us lots of updates which we appreciated very much. We came home to happy tired dogs. Would definitely hire again!”
About: Dog walking is something I love to do. I take my dog (a boisterous standard schnauzer with quite the mind of his own!) on a walk everyday and love to help others out by giving their pup some exercise! I know that all dogs are unique, so I will take great care to make sure that I follow any instructions given and make this a great experience for the dog. I am good at reading a dog’s body language and know techniques to help calm a dog down if it gets overstimulated and will take necessary steps to ensure the dog’s comfort. I also know my way around the neighborhood, and can take the pup to new and exciting places (within the owners comfort level of course!) so they have a great time! As a recent college graduate, I have a very flexible schedule with ample time to dedicate to taking care of pets. I usually do morning and evening walks (as to avoid too high temperatures) and throughout the day can provide general pet care. I have a large, fenced in yard that pups can run freely in with my own dog. There is also a pool that they can use (under strict supervision of course!) and they have free access to all areas inside the house. We are also conscientious about making sure there are no dangerous things lying around (eg. socks, small items) that the dog can get to.
About: I’ve taken responsibility of my own pets in my family for 10 years. Dog sat for my aunt for two years. Grew up with a Border Collie and two Dobermans! Trained my families new edition corgi, chow chow, and kelpie Shepard mix who’s now 2 years of age. I work part time as a college student finishing up my second semester before summer break. I’d love to walk or check in on any furry friends before/after my lectures and final semester!! I provide a safe, calm, and clean environment, following each pet’s routine closely. I respect their individual needs, ensure secure spaces, and give gentle, attentive care with regular updates.
About: I enjoy cats and dogs as I have had my own, currently pet sit for my roommates cats while she’s on vacation. Cuddle puddles are my favorite pastime Evenings and weekends are preferred, can be flexible. I can do drop ins anytime past 6pm on the weekdays and anytime on the weekends. Emergency calls can also be arranged. I care for pets by slowly introducing myself, first by smell then when comfortable, by touch. I give treats when warranted, but ensure no over feeding/snacking. Lastly I cuddle with pets who are most comfortable.
About: I’ve taken care of dogs for friends and family since I was much younger. I’ve helped take care of small dogs and bigger dogs as well.

I treat every animal with respect and kindness as if they are my own. Every animal is special and deserves to feel valued! I stand by that
About: Hi there! I have spent many years of my life taking care of animals personally and professionally. I have been volunteering in animal shelters for 7 years, I work with 3 animal organizations helping animals get adopted and fostered, fostering many of them myself. I have had dogs ranging from 5lbs to 75+ Lbs. I also have had numerous cats throughout my life and understand the many personality and needs they have. I have a very flexible schedule professionally and would love to spend more of my free time being around animals I have a very flexible work schedule in which I schedule for myself weekly, giving me a lot of extra time daily as well as the ability to schedule and adjust around bookings. I have fostered both dogs and cats through the years, and currently have one cat now. I keep my home very clean and give my fur baby the most attention and love I can. I truly believe pets are part of the family

I will follow any instructions given very carefully and ensure your pet is happy and healthy while you are away.

About: I’ve taken care of animals my whole life! When I was 10 I had a puppy and have volunteered at animal shelters throughout high school. I can assure you I will take great care of your animals with all the love in my heart. I’m currently working part time, so I have a lot of time this summer!

About: I have worked with dogs since I was in middle school. I currently am in the process of getting my dog grooming license and work at an animal shelter at the moment. I have experience with large dogs to small dogs, scared and nervous dogs, Mouthy and jumpy dogs, walking strong pulling dogs, administering medication and Grooming! I am just looking to fill my free time doing something I love and passionate about! I’m currently working part-time at an animal shelter and I just received my dog grooming license. I am flexible with my schedule and only work 3 days a week. I would follow all of the instructions the owner has left. Provide your dog with enrichment, treats and walks. If your puppy is scared or anxious I will sit with them, spending the time trying to gain their trust so it’s a positive experience for both parties involved!
About: I bring a calm, reliable presence and genuine love for animals. I’m experienced with both puppies and senior pets, including reinforcing training, maintaining routines, and providing gentle support for older pets who need extra care. I’m detail‑oriented, safety‑focused, and communicate clearly so owners always feel informed and confident. Every pet is treated with patience, respect, and the same care I’d want for my own. Pet care fits naturally into my routine because I plan my days around consistency. I’m comfortable with early mornings, scheduled walks, feeding times, and regular check‑ins. I treat each visit as a priority, making sure every pet gets dependable care and attention throughout the week. When I care for pets in my home or a client’s home, I focus on creating a safe, calm, and predictable environment. I follow each pet’s routine exactly as outlined — feeding times, walks, play, training reinforcement, and any medication needs. I take time to understand their personality, comfort level, and energy so I can adapt my approach and help them feel secure. For puppies, I reinforce the basics: crate routines, potty breaks, consistent schedules, and positive training habits. For senior pets, I’m patient and gentle, offering slow walks, mobility support, and medication reminders. No matter the age, I keep communication open with owners through updates, photos, and honest check‑ins so they always feel confident and informed.

Sarah was wonderful with my 3 dogs. I knew they were in good hands since she has alot of veterinay experience. She’s sweet and conscientious. Sent me updates and pictures. Also left my home super clean. The dogs were very calm and happy when I got home. If you want a good, reliable pet sitter, Sarah’s the one!
Charlotte was the best ! I am so happy I found her . She not just was great in communication but she was great in keeping my baby entertained and we taken care of . She made me feel calm knowing he was in good hands by sending me pictures of him and letting me know how he’s doing . She’s caring and from the start she was interested in knowing my routine with him and paid close attention to details and did everything what I asked her to do . She was great and definitely will be using her for the future . Thank You Charlotte.

FAQs for House Sitting - North Lindenhurst
Frequently asked questions about Rover
The average cost for House Sitting in North Lindenhurst on Rover is $44.4 per night (as of July 2026). However, all sitters set their own rates based on experience, location, and availability.
Rover makes budgeting the cost of House Sitting easy. As long as your dates and pet profiles are correct, the price you see before you book is the same price you pay for House Sitting. For more information on service fees, click here .
As of July 2026, there are 17,063 sitters on Rover offering House Sitting across North Lindenhurst. 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 Lindenhurst 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 Lindenhurst 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 Lindenhurst 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 short introductory meeting between you, your pet, 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.
Sitters on Rover set their own cancellation policy, which you can find on their profile under their calendar availability.
Cancelling before a booking begins and before the sitter's cutoff time qualifies you for a full refund. Same-day cancellations for walks, day care, and drop-ins follow the full refund policy. Otherwise, for dog boarding and house sitting, you will receive a 50% refund for the first seven days of the booking and a 100% refund for the remaining days when you cancel the same day a booking should begin.
If your sitter needs to cancel within seven days of the booking's start date, then our reservation protection will kick in. This means our support team works with you to find a replacement sitter.
