“I can’t say enough good things about Steff. She has cared for my cat on multiple occasions — not just this trip, but also the time before — and she has consistently gone above and beyond. She’s professional, clear in her communication, and always gives me complete peace of mind when I’m away. I know my cat is safe, happy, and well cared for in her hands. I will absolutely continue to use her in the future (if she’ll have us!) and highly recommend her to anyone looking for a trustworthy and caring cat sitter. ❤️”

About: I've taken care of dogs of every kind since I was little. Whether it was the neighbors or my own, I have loved every experience and only hope to provide the same for you! I am well versed in walking, playing, bathing, and feeding, from simple meals to the most special meals. From pumpkin pour-overs to Ollie. Looking forward to hearing from you and meeting your pup! I currently work-from-home. At this time, I let my dog out into the backyard every 2-3 hours with ~1 walk a day and could provide the same (or more) for you. Additionally, since I work-from-home, I am available for in-home pet care at your home if needed. I will follow whatever rules are given to me as to not disturb the pups regular routine and keep everything as normal as possible for them!

About: I’ve worked at a Veterinary Hospital for 32 yrs, raised/trained more than 15 puppies to be service dogs & have been doing Animal Assisted Therapy since 1993. I have recently retired, set up my house to be dog friendly and now I have plenty of time to spend with my dogs and your pups! My home is clean and dog friendly with a fenced in backyard. All dogs are allowed on the couch (if you allow that) and my lap (small dogs plz). There are plenty of toys and dog beds for resting:) I also have many baby gates if a dog wants alone time.

I love all animals and would love to hang out with your pup! I am available most weeks for the whole day if needed. I can stay with or occasionally drop by to feed, walk, and hang out with your pet! I ensure that both the pets and the homes are left better than they were when I came. My pets have always been treated with love and kindness, as all pets should be.

About: I have babysat and pet-sat since I was 16! I would feed the neighbors animals and take them on walks. When sitting I took care of the kids and the pets. I have taken care of bunnies, cats, and dogs of all sizes!! Pets feed off of your energy and can feel your emotions and that is why we connect so well!! I have fed, walked, groomed, and cuddled with our furry friends and love to spend time with them. I've owned four dogs, including my English Mastiff, Moose, and have experience with everything from energetic puppies to senior dogs who need medication or extra support. Whether your pet needs exercise, engagement, or companionship, I'm ready for the job! I am currently going to school for my masters and have breaks throughout the day to talk walks and care for your pet! I have evenings free and can board most nights of the week when planned! I have plenty of time to play, cuddle, and love on your furry friend. I have a fenced yard and no pets, so can easily adapt to your pets style and needs. I live in a walkable, quiet, pet friendly, family neighborhood. I live with 2 girls, also college graduates who both work as EMTs! We do not keep anything out that would be a danger to a furry friend and have an open floor space comfortable for lounging and whatever needs your pet has! :))) I'm able to step away from my responsibilities to ensure your pets receive consistent attention and care. I always follow your instructions and respect your home and your pet's routines. I focus on creating a calm, positive environment, whether that means adhering to feeding schedules, administering medication, or keeping your pet engaged through walks and play. My goal is to make your pet feel comfortable and well cared for.

About: I’ve taken care of all kinds of dogs (and other animals!) for many years. Family, friends, and co-workers have relied on me to watch and care for their pets whether it’s walking, feeding, playing, even taking them to the vet. I’ve taken care of dogs of all sizes and ages, from senior bull mastiffs to pugs under a year old. There is no dog too big or too small because they’re all perfect to me. I’ve also found lost dogs and helped them return to their owners! I have experience caring for anxious dogs, blind dogs, deaf dogs, dogs with mobility issues, and dogs that require medication. Other animals I’ve taken care of include: cats, parrots, guinea pigs, fish, rabbits, and hamsters. Pets are so precious, they’re such an important source of joy in their family’s lives so it’s such a privilege to be trusted with their care!! :) Pet sitting is currently my full time job, so I have lots of time to give your animals the special care and attention they deserve! I have a fenced in yard which is perfect for dogs to run around in. I also have a car so I’m able to take dogs to the dog park or dog beaches nearby (if that’s something they would enjoy). At a client’s house I still follow any guidance/schedule given to me. In between I typically take the dog’s lead. I’m at their house so it’s important to me that I respect their space (and the clients above all)! I like to take their cues to make sure that their sense of routine isn’t disrupted.

About: I have cared for pets of all shapes and sizes for my entire life. From dogs and cats to squirrels and turtles, I love to care for any animal! I have personal experience with animals needing medication or special care. I also have experience with reactive or aggressive breeds (my own girl, Rhea, is a reactive and extremely anxious rescue pup!). I have worked with very high energy dogs and love getting steps in and would love to help burn your fur babies energy. I have a very adaptable schedule and would love to help in any way I can with any and all of your pets!! I have a very flexible work schedule so I have plenty of time to look after or entertain your pets! I am available daily for walking and play time, feeding, or anything else you might need! I would love to help give some extra love and attention to your pet family. I am a very active person and love taking my dog on adventures and walks, so I am very willing and able to do the same with your fur-babies! I am very patient and have personally worked with rescues and senior animals who need a little extra TLC and time to adjust or move around. I am very understanding when it comes to particular ways of handling situations or routines as my girl is a rescue and can also be picky with things (eating, reactivity, medication, etc)! I am very flexible and can work with you to make sure your pets have the best experience possible with me and love to learn every animals different personalities!

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!!

FAQs for Dog Sitting - Patchogue

Frequently asked questions about Rover

The average cost of Dog Sitting in Patchogue is $22 per visit as of November 2026. Most bookings cost between $20 and $31 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 November 2026, there are 2,768 sitters on Rover offering Dog Sitting across Patchogue. 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.

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 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.

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.

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

  • 89% of sitters can help with special care needs
  • 91% 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 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.
