“Katlyn has been great with our two dogs! She is punctual and sends photos when the drop-in is completed. She did a great job feeding the two dogs in one of the drop-in visits and even administering medication for our puppy with allergies. Would highly recommend Katlyn!”
About: I’ve taken care of all kinds of animals since ever can I remember. I grew up with dogs, cats, horses, and ducks, allowing me to learn how to responsibly care for them from a young age. After I moved out 3 years ago, I adopted a puppy that I have been the sole caretaker for, so I’ve seen the puppy phase and worked on training. We are always going on new adventures or playing whenever I have free time. I also have 2 cats that I’ve raised since kittens, which has helped nurture my fondness for pets, and I would love to spend some of my free time with yours! :) I’m currently working full time as a research coordinator, but WFH on Fridays so I have flexible availability Fridays, and full availability on Saturdays and Sundays. I can also be available after 5pm Mondays-Thursdays! I will follow any instructions for pet care that works best for you, following routes for walks and whatever you need from me. I will communicate throughout the walks or visits as well so you can ensure your fur baby is happy and healthy!
“Jacy was so nice and caring and just absolutely wonderful. Her communication was perfect which is so hard to find these days. She never failed to send pictures and to give me an update on my cats and to answer my 17 questions lol. Once my power went out and it caused my alarm to go off and she rushed over there to turn it off without even a second thought. I would 100000% recommend her and plan on using her services again.”
“I’m so grateful to Stephanie for helping us out on such short notice and am very happy with the level of service I received. I felt like I was in very good hands. I will definitely be calling her again! Thank you!”
“Thank you so much for taking such good care of our girls. They are so excited to see you each time you visit. Reagan shows off with her happy dance and Peaches does the same with her big tail wag. We can’t say enough about your professionalism and how well you care for our girls. They definitely love your company! Thanks again - especially with such short notice. We truly appreciate you!! ☺️☺️”
“Tricia was so wonderful with my Bella. The care she gave was was fantastic Bella took to her which is a big compliment to her. I would definitely hire her again. And I would definitely recommend her.”
About: I've been taking take of dogs since I was 18 years ago. so I am more than capable to be able to whoever I can in this community. I'm currently working a full-time job and will try to make times for my furry friends. I have off every Monday so if I can help out that day I will. I have two dogs of my own. unfortunately my dogs are protective of their home but I am able to dog sit at your house which is no problem.
“Elisa was absolutely amazing to work with! One of our dogs has pretty severe medical issues and I felt so safe with her in Elisa‘s loving care. She treated our fur babies as her own and I can’t wait to work with her again.”
About: I’ve taken care of dogs and other pets since I was little. Pets of my own, family and friends. I’ve always been dependable and so loving of animals. I’m here to give them the little bit of extra love throughout the day while the parents are away. I am available throughout most of the day! I have my own car, no problem there. I can do multiple potty breaks throughout the day if necessary! I provide pets with a happy environment. I do live in an apartments so I don’t usually care for pets in my home but I can if needed.
“Samantha was amazing with our Gracie! It the first time we’ve ever left her and Samantha made us feel at ease that our fur-baby was receiving all the love and care she needed in our absence. Samantha is kind, reliable and very trustworthy. I’ll definitely be booking with her again. I’d give her ten stars if I could!”
“Staci took excellent care of my 19-year-old cat who has CKD and special needs. I left an extensive sheet of instructions for her and she followed them all. She is always on time. Wonderful communication with cute photos. She's a great photographer! I would highly recommend any pet owner to any pet owner. You can trust her to give your pet the best care! I will be a repeat customer.”
About: My dad was a dog breeder so I have had extensive experience in delivery, first aid, and all age pet care! Being a veterinarian has always been my passion. I aim to own my own hospital that helps those who can’t afford to pay thousands in vet bills. I love animals and would love the opportunity to care for yours! I’m currently a full time student that works 2 jobs but I would work around my time to meet a time that works best for you! I would ask many question so I can get a clear idea on how your pet is cared for when at home. I wouldn’t want the pet to feel stressed in any way so I would mimic the care that you provide them! It will feel as if they never left home.

“Sarah was great at stopping by and caring for my two cats. I almost think to good, my cats didn't seem to miss me when I got back. Sarah sent photos and spent time with them so they didn't feel neglected. Sarah also went above and beyond by shoveling snow! It snowed while I was away and Sarah cleared the walk way and some of the driveway. Plus she also let the cats have some outdoor time in the snow (they are indoor/outdoor cats so it was good that they got some outdoor time while I was away so things seemed normal).”
“It was such a relief having Elena checking on our elderly cat for the weekend! She did a great job, shared thorough updates and pictures, and just made us feel comfortable knowing our cat was taken care of.”

“Noelle was great with Tank! She communicated with me since the moment I booked her and it was such a relief to have her help us when we got stuck at work! She sent pictures and gave us peace of mind! Tank did so great with her, we will definitely use her in the future if we need to! Thanks again Noelle!”

Can’t say enough positive things about Christiana !! We have a very large, very skittish English mastiff and Christiana was very patient, professional, and caring through the whole process. She spent so much time with us during the initial meet and greet, and she went above and beyond for Bingo during her visit. We hope to continue to utilize her services in the future and would recommend her to any and all!!
I cannot say enough great things about ! They were so attentive and truly loving toward my dogs the entire time. It was clear from the start how much they genuinely care every detail was handled with patience and kindness, and my pups were happy, relaxed, and well-cared for when I returned. I received thoughtful updates that gave me peace of mind, and I could tell my dogs felt safe and loved in their presence. If you’re looking for someone who treats your pets like family, I highly recommend Cynthia. I will absolutely be booking with them again
This has been hands down, by far, our BEST dog sitting experience in 13 years. Our old girl LOVED Nicole who treated her like her own. Nicole was kind enough to walk the yard with her even later at night. She sent us wonderful updates with plenty of pictures. We felt secure knowing Ginny was getting loved on and treated so well, such a weight off of our shoulders. Nicole is a dream to work with, I’ll never be able to thank her enough!!!

Frequently asked questions about Rover
As of June 2026, there are 2,852 sitters on Rover offering Dog Sitting across Patchogue. 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 Patchogue 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 Patchogue 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 Patchogue with recurring or weekly availability, select "Repeat Weekly" and which days you’d like them to care for your pet.

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.
