“Kelsey saved the day when our usual sitter was unavailable on short notice and she took on a week of drop-in visits for us. She was reliable and took great care of our dog, Bear.”
About: As a longtime dog lover and devoted dog mom to Duke, my beagle–English setter mix, I understand how important it is to have someone trustworthy caring for your pet. I’m responsible, patient, attentive, and comfortable with walks, feeding, playtime, and giving dogs plenty of affection. I’ll care for your dog with the same attention and kindness I give my own. My schedule is flexible, especially during weekday school hours. I’m available for dog walking, drop-in visits, and pet sitting, with some evening and weekend availability when arranged in advance. I carefully follow each owner’s instructions regarding feeding, walks, medications, and household routines. I prioritize safety, supervision, and communication, and I’ll provide regular updates and photos so you can feel comfortable while your pet is in my care.
About: I have grown up around dogs and am a loyal dog person! Our beloved 12 year old lab just passed away recently so our family is looking to help other people take care of their dogs! I have two children who are used to dogs and love them. I work from home in my own schedule so have lots of time to make a fuss of your pup! I am up early and love to go out for a morning walk. We have a fenced in large backyard and lots of nice places for leashed walks. We follow the schedule and needs of the dog to make sure they are comfortable. We do have a split level home so senior dogs who struggle with steps may be tricky.
“Keira was a delight! She quickly demonstrated her ability to earn the trust of our shy fear barking rescue dogs. The pups definitely loved Keira and felt safe. We were able to enjoy our trip knowing that our fur babies were in good hands. We'll definitely call on Keira again, and recommend her to others.”
“Caroline stepped right in as a wonderful help to our Scottish terrier puppy Daisy! My mom in law had needed to cut back on the days she watches Daisy while I am teaching Art. Luckily I found Caroline quickly and her great reviews surely are correct :)! Daisy is already happily warming up to Caroline as Daisy is working on getting used to new people. Caroline already has been working in ways to get Daisy comfortable and calmer :)”
“Heather was absolutely perfect! She watched our cat Zeppy while we were away a week and made sure he was well taken care of, kept us up to date on everything, and even brought in our mail and packages. Zeppy was in good hands the whole week and we’re definitely using her again in the future. Highly recommended!!”
“Taylor did a great job checking in on my cat Emma! She sent detailed updates and several pictures every day which really put me at ease, especially because Emma can be an anxious cat. I definitely recommend her!”
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: 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: I have a big love for animals, especially dogs! I’ve had a dog, more specifically, a German Shepherd in my life since I was born. I recently moved back to Long Island from Arizona for college so I have a lot of free time lately! I would love to get to know your dog as I am very patient and loving toward animals ❤️ The extra money would be nice, but I’m really interested in getting to experience different types of personalities through the dogs that I will meet. I have watched my uncle’s German Shepherd for an extended period of time as well as my brother’s pitbull, my German Shepherd and also my miniature dachshund so I know what it’s like to have a full house! :) I hope you feel confident to choose me to watch your best friend I am currently finishing up my last semester of college as well providing services on Rover, so I have a lots of free time and very flexible hours :) I will take very good care of your furry friends, no matter what the task. Whether it be taking them for a walk, feeding them or absolutely anything else that they need! 😊
About: I have always LOVED dogs of all sizes & breeds. I used Rover back in 2018 for some time but unfortunately my life got too busy to give the dogs all the attention they need and deserve. As I have a lot of extra time right now, I have decided to return to Rover and I’m excited to make some new furry friends. Dogs seem to be naturally comfortable & relaxed with me, as I with them. During high school & college, I did a lot of dog sitting. I genuinely enjoyed the "work" (it was more fun than work) and bonded with each and every one of these dogs. I usually stayed at my clients' homes while they were away. Sometimes for just a weekend, other times up to 2 weeks or more. I have dog sat and walked for numerous types of breeds including Pit bulls, Rottweilers, German Shepherds, Huskies, Standard Poodles, Chihuahuas, French Bulldogs, Kerry Blue Terriers, Golden Retrievers, Labrador Retrievers, Welsh Corgi, Shih Tzus, Mixed breeds, and many more! While most of my clients were healthy, I have also dog sat for dogs with medical issues that require medications (including injections and seizure, medications) and/or special needs. Dogs bring so much joy to our lives and are a part of our families. I understand how stressful and upsetting it can be when you have to leave a loved-one home when you have to travel or even just leave for a few hours for work. It is very important to find someone you can trust that will love and care for your dog just as you do! I can guarantee, when with me, your loved-ones will be safe and treated with love and respect all dogs deserve. I enjoy getting "down and dirty" with "my dogs," whether it's playing with them on the living-room floor or at the beach, park, and/or backyard. Snuggling with them is always enjoyable and relaxing too. I have a flexible schedule that allows me to dedicate plenty of time and attention to the pets in my care. I love spending time with dogs, whether that means going for walks, playing, exploring parks, or simply keeping them company. I’m able to work my schedule around each pet’s individual needs and routines, so they receive plenty of attention, exercise, and affection while their owners are away. When caring for pets in their own home, I make it a priority to keep their routine as close to normal as possible. I follow their usual feeding schedule, walks, playtime, and any other routines their owners have established. I believe dogs thrive on consistency, especially when their families are away. I love giving dogs plenty of attention, affection, exercise, and playtime, while making sure they feel comfortable, safe, and well cared for in their familiar surroundings. My goal is to make their time away from their owners as happy and stress-free as possible! I also like to send photos and texts updating the owners on how the dog(s) is doing and what we spent our time doing.
About: I have cared for my own dog and have dog sat for many friends and family over the years. I have personally owned an Australian Shepard and Boston Terriers from puppy age to senior. I have dog sat and walked dogs of all different breeds, ages and sizes. I have experience with caring for dogs with disabilities (blind, deaf, distended back legs) and diabetes. I have been a professional dog sitter for over 3 years, but have been personally caring for and loving them my whole life! I currently work from home M-F 8-4 as a care manager for people with developmental disabilities. Since I work from home, I have the flexibility to watch your fur babies throughout the week and on weekends and they will never be left home alone for too long! I make sure to treat my clients fur babies and homes with the same love and respect I give to mine. I always make sure to leave the home just as clean as it was when I arrived.

Pet parents share their Rover experiences - Northport
Chrissy was fantastic! She took great care of our cat, Bella for 5 days while we were away. Our cat can be very shy, but they quickly became friends and we are very happy we found Chrissy to look after her. Chrissy was a responsive communicator the entire time and we’d recommend her to anyone.
Allison was wonderful and Milo was happy and obviously well taken care of while we were away. Allison also shared lots of photos during each visit which is much appreciated! Thank you again for accommodating us and Milo at the last minute so that we could enjoy a fun weekend away!

The average cost of Pet Sitting in Northport is $28 per visit as of October 2026. Most bookings cost between $10 and $36 per visit. 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 11,910 sitters on Rover offering Pet Sitting across Northport. Enter your ZIP code to see which available sitters are closest to your home.
You and your sitter can agree on a care schedule that fits your pet’s routine and the sitter’s availability. Pet Sitting can be booked as a one-time or recurring drop-in visit. If you need overnight care or dog walks, you may also be able to book House Sitting or Dog Walking through Rover with the same sitter, provided they offer those services.
Before booking, confirm:
- the timing, length, and frequency of visits;
- the care instructions the sitter should follow;
- which parts of your pet’s usual routine should be prioritized;
- how often you would like to receive messages, photos, or other updates.
Not every sitter offers the same services, availability, or booking options. Review their profile and discuss the care you need through Rover before booking each service.
If you would like updates while you’re away, you can discuss with your sitter how many or how frequent you’d like those updates to be. The Rover app allows sitters to send photos, videos, and messages about your pet, including how many pee or poop breaks occurred. You can message your sitter at any time through the app and our support team is available 24/7 by email or chat if you have concerns.
The personalized, in-home nature of pet care through Rover can mean more individual attention for your pet.
Many pet parents provide a spare key or arrange a lockbox. You can also exchange keys during the Meet & Greet and show your walker how to use digital fobs or personalized codes. It helps to arrange access to your home, from spare keys to concierge introductions, before pet care begins.
If you live in an apartment or condo, don’t forget to discuss details like buzzer access, codes, or elevator etiquette. These details can help a pet sitter feel more comfortable going in and out of your building.
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 .
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.

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.
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.
