About: I have grown up around both dogs and cats-our family pets included Rottweilers, German Shepards, and smaller mixed dogs as well. We had both cats and dogs that I took care of. I worked at the humane society for four years caring for and socializing pets there. I currently have two dogs (one with anxiety issues) and two cats. I have pet sat for friends and families, including puppies. I currently work remote so my schedule during the week is flexible. I am happy to spend time with pets and don’t mind long walks out in the cold. I can stay with your pet when needed and will care for them as specified. I can be flexible on timing and care needs for your pets.
“Andrea did such a wonderful job with our boys. We have a dog and a cat, and they both clearly loved spending a whole week with her. She had great communication, sending us photos throughout the day to keep us up to date. She was also incredibly respectful of our home, leaving it in perfectly clean condition for our arrival. We never worried about our boys throughout the week, which is the most we can ask for! Thank you Andrea!”
“We had an excellent experience with Jess, and could not recommend her more highly. She stayed overnight with our dog, in our home, and checked in frequently throughout the day, which gave us tremendous peace of mind while we were away. Communication was outstanding — she sent regular updates along with plenty of photos and videos, and was always responsive and thoughtful in her messages. Jess was incredibly respectful of our home, keeping everything clean, orderly, and exactly as we left it. Most importantly, it was clear that our dog was well cared for, happy, and comfortable the entire time. She is trustworthy, reliable, and genuinely attentive, and we felt completely confident leaving both our dog and our home in her care. We would absolutely use her again and recommend her without hesitation.”
“Jordan took incredible care of our dog Higgy while we had a night out. Jordan was wonderful about sending us regular updates, photos, and videos to keep our mind at ease that Higgy was in good hands. We would absolutely recommend Jordan to anyone looking for a skilled, kind, and attentive dog sitter.”
“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!”
“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!”

“I had such a wonderful experience!! I have two cats and a senior dog who requires a little extra care and attention, and I felt completely comfortable knowing they were in such good hands with Anna. She was reliable, attentive, and so sweet with all three of our pets. Anna sent me so many pics and she kept us updated while we were away, which gave us such peace of mind! I would absolutely recommend her and and will definitely use her again! ❤️🐾”
About: Neighbors and family have relied on me to care for their pets, including elderly and special needs animals, as well as exotic reptiles and birds, many times. I’m a part-time student in eco-toxicology at this time studying online so I’m around full time for pet care, feel free to reach out for care any day of the week! I live with my large family, and my roommates have two dogs and two cats, all of which are friendly. We have two spare crates for visitors so let me know if your dog is crate trained! Please keep in mind that my partner joins me for house sitting bookings. We have two cats together and he is also certified by Rover :)
“Samantha took amazing care of my three dogs while we were away. My dog had a medical issue that needed attention and she took great care of him. He required daily cleaning of his infection and administering of both oral and topical medications. He isn’t always easy to take care of because he is sometimes fearful and anxious. She still made sure he was taken care of successfully. I really appreciate her going the extra mile to make sure my babies were given lots of love and attention. Thank you!”
About: I’ve been around animals my whole life and have a deep love for caring for them—especially dogs. I have hands-on experience with a wide range of breeds, from tiny Chihuahuas to energetic Australian Shepherds and strong, loving Pit Bulls. I’ve raised and trained puppies, and I’m also comfortable providing gentle, attentive care to senior dogs with special needs. Patience, kindness, and reliability are at the heart of how I care for every pet. I’m excited to combine my passion for dogs with meaningful, trustworthy care for your furry family member. Caring for animals is a natural part of my daily life. I structure my day around the needs of the pets I’m caring for—whether that’s morning walks, mealtime routines, playtime, or quiet companionship. I make sure every pet gets the attention, love, and consistency they need to feel safe and happy. Pet care isn’t just something I do—it’s something I genuinely enjoy and look forward to each day. Whether I'm caring for pets in my home or in a client’s home, I always prioritize their comfort, safety, and routine. I take time to learn each pet’s needs—feeding schedules, energy levels, medical requirements, and favorite activities—so I can provide consistent, loving care. In my home, pets have a calm, secure space where they can relax and feel at ease. In a client’s home, I make sure to follow their routine closely to minimize stress and help their pet feel comfortable in their own environment. I treat every pet like my own and do everything I can to make them feel happy, safe, and loved.

I currently have a 6-year-old Bichon Shih Tzu who is a big part of my family, so I’m very comfortable with daily walks, playtime, cuddles, and keeping a pup happy and comfortable. I’ll treat your dog with the same care and affection I give my own, while making sure every walk and sit is safe, fun, and stress-free! 🐾 if you are happy with my services, tips are greatly appreciated. I work part time in Huntington. I work Tuesday through Friday in office and Thursday’s remote, 10-4 Weekends are free, and Mondays I am off. I am very personable with animals and their parents.

Zoe did a great job taking care of Taylor. She stayed overnight at the house and visiting multiple times during the day. She walked her in the neighborhood daily as requested following a recent knee surgery. Everything was left in perfect condition, and Taylor seemed very happy.
To to turn your home and dogs over to GINIA was a real act of faith. Out of one – 10 rating, she earned a 25+ each day brought another video, more affirming statements. My husband and I were so very impressed with her professionalism. She surpassed our expectations. She is kind, capable, and very loving to our fur babies. GINIA is very bright, flexible, and on her own, made good decisions about solving the everyday issues that came up -on her own. My house is clean, safe, and more organized since she was here. My two standard Poodles are very happy. So glad and grateful I found her on rover.com PS she makes everything fun.,,,,,,,,
Right from the meet and great Stephanie was extremely attentive taking notes regarding our pups schedule, meal plan, and quirks. She was upfront and let us know things she had going on that she would need to step out for a little bit for during her stay and we were kept well informed throughout our time away with updates and some pictures. I would absolutely recommend her to anyone looking for a pet sitter!

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 Northport 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 Northport 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.
<b>Tip:</b> 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 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!
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.
