Kayla was wonderful for my little Diva. Every day I received a text message as well as a picture from Kayla, letting me know my little fur ball was safe and sound. Highly recommended, and I will be using Kayla in the future. A+++

About: Dog walking, your way! I pride myself on staying true to pet care plans and ensuring animals have the best experience possible. I have been pet sitting since my early high school days. Since then, I have become an asset to my community to make sure their dogs can be walked safely and cared for properly. I’m a proud mini schnauzer mom and have raised her from her puppy days. Working from home allows me the flexibility I need to make the most of my day. Between breaks and flexing hours, I will do my best to match your needs for pet care! I live in a quiet area with plenty of space to keep walks interesting! I have my own separate space in the house to ensure your pet is comfortable at all times.

About: Apart from being a people person, I love animals too! The connection we feel with our pets is unconditional love. I have open and efficient communication with a fun personality! I currently work full time, Monday through Friday, with an hour lunch break in Farmingdale, NY. I could always squeeze a walk or visit into my lunch break. I reside in Northport, NY; one of the most dog loving towns in Long Island! I am available for pet sitting in your home Friday evenings through Saturday, Sunday, and Mondays (that is when I work remotely). I have a fenced in yard with about an acre of land. I can crate a dog if necessary. I can reinforce positive behavior with treats, praise, and lots of love!

About: I’ve had my furry pet for 12 years before she crossed the rainbow bridge last year. I have cared about pets to a more deeper and emotional extent since I had her. I would love to spread all the joy and tenderness to another pet whenever I get the chance to. I am flexible the most during weekends and two days during the week. Pet care fits into my schedule best and I will be down to accept any gigs that will allow me to be flexible. I am very attentive when it comes to my pets needs and I do my best to keep them entertained. I make their day to day look slightly different to enhance entertainment and excitement.

About: Hello, my name is Anna, and I’m a dedicated and experienced dog caregiver with a lifelong passion for animals. Over the years, I’ve had the privilege of owning and caring for three wonderful dogs—a Bichon Frise, a Lab mix, and a Pitbull—each of whom taught me something unique about loyalty, love, and responsibility. My Experience I have hands-on experience managing all aspects of dog ownership, including training, daily walks, vet appointments, and all related care expenses. I'm comfortable with dogs of all breeds and sizes and am confident handling multiple dogs at once. Whether it’s a high-energy pup or a gentle senior, I tailor my care to each dog’s individual needs. I work full-time, but pet care is a meaningful part of my life and something I make time for. I’m available for evening walks, weekend dog sitting, and flexible drop-ins. Caring for animals brings me joy, and I always ensure they get the attention and love they deserve, no matter how busy life gets. In my home, pets stay in a safe, clean, and loving environment with plenty of attention, playtime, and care. I follow their usual routine to help them feel at ease. In a client’s home, I respect your space and stick to your pet’s schedule—feeding, walking, and giving them the love and attention they’re used to. Wherever your pet is, I care for them like they’re my own.

About: I’ve been around animals my entire life and have always had dogs and other pets. I’ve also cared for family and friends’ dogs over the years, so I’m comfortable with a variety of breeds, sizes, and personalities. I have experience with both playful puppies and senior dogs who may need a little extra patience and care. Whether your dog needs a walk to burn off some energy, a potty break, playtime, fresh food and water, or just some company while you’re away, I’ll treat them like they’re my own. My goal is to make sure your pet feels safe, happy, and well cared for every visit. ! currently work and am a full-time student, but I have dedicated time throughout the week for pet care. I’m available Monday through Wednesday in the mornings and afternoons, and Thursday evenings. Weekend availability varies since I work most weekends, but I do have occasional openings. If you have a specific date or time in mind, feel free to reach out, and I’ll do my best to accommodate your schedule! Your pet’s safety and comfort are always my top priorities. During every visit, I’ll follow your pet’s normal routine as closely as possible, whether that means feeding, refilling water, giving treats, going for a walk, playing, or simply spending time keeping them company. I’ll make sure doors, gates, and leashes are secure at all times and will always respect your home and follow any instructions you provide. I know every pet has a different personality and comfort level, so I’ll take the time to get to know them and earn their trust. I’ll also send updates and photos after each visit so you can have peace of mind knowing your pet is happy and well cared for while you’re away.

About: I believe exceptional pet care starts with understanding the dog in front of you—not treating every dog the same. My goal is to create a calm, structured home where your dog feels safe, understood, and genuinely enjoys their stay. Every dog is unique, so I take the time to learn their personality, routines, communication style, and comfort needs. Whether they’re playful and outgoing, shy and observant, or simply adjusting to a new environment, I adapt my care to meet them where they are. Caring for dogs has been part of my life for over 28 years, but what truly shaped my approach was fostering and working with dogs who each needed something different. I’ve learned that good care isn’t about following the same routine for every dog—it’s about observing, listening, and responding to the individual in front of you. During their stay, your dog becomes part of our daily rhythm. We balance supervised play, enrichment, rest, outdoor time, and plenty of affection. My own dog, Winter, loves welcoming compatible playmates, and I carefully supervise introductions and interactions to ensure everyone feels comfortable and safe. Every dog adjusts differently to a new environment. Most settle in quickly, while others need additional one-on-one support, enrichment, or supervision to feel comfortable. If I determine that a dog requires a significantly higher level of individualized care than expected, I’ll discuss it with you before making any adjustments to the booking. My goal is always to be transparent so we can provide the best possible experience for both you and your dog. I pet sit and offer dog behavioral support on a full time basis. This allows me to customize my schedule around the specific needs of your pups feeding times, walks, and routines. It also means that your dog will be given the attention, enrichment, and reassurance throughout the day that they deserve while adjusting to a new environment. My goal is for every pet to feel at comfortable and at ease while under my care. I pride myself on being able to offer peace of mind for each and every individual I work with. In order to accomplish this, I prioritize safety, trust, and communication. I send daily updates with photos/videos so you can see your baby is being well taken care of. When caring for more than one pet at a time in my space I do very slow, supervised introductions with my own dog, Winny, who is a very playful, well socialized, happy girl. If your dog prefers space, I can easily accommodate comfortably separating the pups as needed both indoor and outdoors.

I highly recommend Caroline as a pet sitter. She took care of our three kitties while we were away. She spent the entire 30 min that we booked her for each day. She followed all our instructions carefully. She also kept everything neat and clean. She gave plenty of attention to the kitties that love it and made sure not to bug our one kitty who is shy around strangers. She sent us daily updates with photos. Will definitely book her again.

About: For over 15 years, I’ve been the trusted companion for pets of all shapes and sizes—offering belly rubs, playtime, and plenty of love while their owners are away. From energetic puppies to wise old souls, I understand each pet’s unique needs and personality. Whether it’s long walks, petting and brushing sessions, or keeping up with special care routines, I treat every furry friend like family. With decades of experience and a true passion for animals, you can leave your pet in my care with complete peace of mind. Because to me, pet sitting isn’t just a job—it’s a lifelong love. I’m currently working part-time. So I’ll have plenty of time to play with your extended family members. I’m available for day time walks, as needed, and full boardings during the week, after 3pm, and most weekends. I am flexible with the boarding times as well so if you need me earlier, I’m sure we can work something out. I have a fully fenced in yard about 1/4 of an acre for your family member to stretch their legs and run around. I have one friendly mini schnauzer, Molly, that I am the proud owner of. I can easily crate your dog if needed or if your furry pal needs some time alone I have plenty of space within my home that they are allowed to freely roam. Sometimes this is needed from first meetings because, not unlike people, dogs may take time to get acclimated to one another. I do require a first meet before agreeing to take on new clients for the safety of myself, Molly and my home.

First off, this was my first time using this app/service and was nervous hoping to find someone who would treat our dog like their own. Madison was absolutely fantastic. We met her a day before and our dog took an immediate liking to her. Right away we felt a sense of comfort knowing our dog would be in good hands. The following day Madison checked on Kygo (our dog) throughout the day and communicated with us each visit. She gave us a detailed report on her visit and ample photos of our dog playing and happy. It is such a great feeling knowing there are responsible and caring people who can give you peace of mind when leaving your dog home for the day. I HIGHLY recommend Madison to anyone who is looking for a dog sitter. She was fantastic and we will 100000% be using her in the future. Oh, and she took in packages for us… going above and beyond! Thank you Madison!

About: From shy pups to bouncy bunnies, I treat every fur baby like royalty. I’m all about snuggles, happy walks, and keeping them comfy while you’re away. I work during the day, so I’m available most days during early evenings for walks, drop-ins, and cuddles! My schedule is consistent and I’m also flexible on my days off and can accommodate weekend or overnight care with advance notice. Just send me a message, I’m happy to work around your pet’s routine! I also have a senior shih tzu that I adopted over 10 years ago :) Your pet’s safety and comfort always come first. I provide a calm, caring environment where pets can feel relaxed and secure. I take the time to build trust, follow your pet’s routine carefully, and stay attentive to their needs. I’m reliable with feeding, walking, and medication instructions, and I always keep an eye on safety—whether it’s with gates, leashes, or playtime. I’ll also keep you updated, so you can have peace of mind while your pet is in my care.

About: My name is Alex and I would love to care for your furbabies as if they were my own! I host one family at a time (up to three pets from the same family). This ensures a premium experience for your pet that is calm, friendly and enjoyable. I do not have children or any pets of my own-this way I am be able to maintain a stress free environment for your pet to avoid any anxiety or nervousness around children or new animals. It is my job to put you and your pets at ease while you are away or busy. I want to ensure a stress free experience for all. 🐾 I will always be around to supervise the animals while I petsit! I offer a happy and calming experience for your pet in which they will enjoy lots of attention and cuddles/playtime from me or naps and comfort time and relaxing music should they desire. I’ve taken care of a number pets throughout my life. I grew up with small terriers and had fish too. Friends animals were always like my own. I adopted my beloved cat Calvin when I was 21 and in December 2022, 11 years later, he passed away leaving a hole in my heart. He had many health problems such as asthma and IBS, for which he was on several daily medications. This taught me to administer oral medication in pill pockets and use an inhaler attachment for him. I miss being around animals in general now that he’s been gone. I am looking so much forward to being able to provide boarding in my lakeside home. At this time, I’m not able to offer housesitting, very happily offer drop ins house sits and walks! Kindly note: * if your dog has a history of aggression towards people or has indoor accidents frequently I will not be able to host them. *Experience with breeds such as greyhounds, who may need a more quiet atmosphere I am available consistently at the moment as I run a part time home business. 24 hour consistent time with your pet is ensured. If they wish they can also sleep in the bedroom/bed. The fenced yard is big enough to run around supervised and also has tiered retaining walls. I also have a separate area for a cat(s) and a walk in closet style litter box “room”. I have plenty of toys, treats and catnip. At this time, I’m not able to offer boarding, very happily offer drop ins house sits and walks!

Megan was so great with my dog! She very kindly agreed to do a meet and greet with my pup, he’s a rescue and can sometimes take a bit to warm up to others. He immediately loved her, no question about it. Megan showed up on time everyday and took care of Balboa with the instructions I provided her. She provided me peace of mind that my baby boy was taken care of while I was away! She sent me pictures of Balboa playing in the backyard, which I appreciated.

Christina was an exceptional stand in as a best friend to our large nine year old dog! She was attentive, communicative, thoughtful and engaged for the multiple days we were away. She shared photos and videos regularly and adhered perfectly to the “older dog” instructional needs. Extremely caring and a true dog person. We were in good hands and would absolutely use Christina in the future. Whole heartedly recommend!

Donald is very reliable! When I realized my 4 month old puppy needed a different schedule than I thought he adjusted the time he came and added an extra drop in a day to make sure our girl was well taken care of. He is always on time, and gives our puppy his full attention. I think they are going to be best friends quick. Will definitely continue to work with Donald. It is a big relief knowing she’s taken care of while I’m at work.

Frequently asked questions about Rover

The average cost for Dog Sitting in Northport on Rover is $27.75 per visit (as of September 2026). However, all sitters set their own rates based on experience, location, and availability.

Rover makes budgeting the cost of Dog 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 Dog Sitting. For more information on service fees, click here .

As of September 2026, there are 11,500 sitters on Rover offering Dog Sitting across Northport. Enter your ZIP code to see which available sitters are closest to your home.

A pet sitter can provide focused care sessions, help your pet’s routine stay on track, or keep you updated on your pet’s mood and energy levels.

Whether you’re at the office for the day or traveling for a few nights, a pet sitter can offer potty breaks during a Northport stroll, cleaning the litter box, or making sure your pet has on-time food or water refills. For daytime services like walking and drop-ins, you can also request sitters to send a report card with every visit.

Tip: You can discuss your specific arrangements with a pet sitter on Rover to what fits you, your pet, and your sitter’s needs. To find what their special skills are, look at the "Skills" and "Pet care experience" sections on their profile.

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 Northport 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!

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 .

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.

A Meet & Greet is a short introductory meeting between you, your dog, 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.

While Rover doesn’t offer traditional subscription services, some sitters offer recurring bookings for services like home visits and dog walking. Recurring services come with their own perks, such as flexibility to modify services (up to five weeks in advance), automatic billing, Rover Card updates, and same-day cancellations.

To find sitters in Northport with recurring or weekly availability, select "Repeat Weekly" and which days you’d like them to care for your pet.

Yes, you can find sitters who have experience with handling special pet needs in Northport. On Rover:

  • 88% of sitters can help with special care needs
  • 92% 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.

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.
