About: I’ve always loved animals and have experience caring for many different kinds of pets, including dogs, cats, chickens, and even reptiles! I’m very responsible, patient, and attentive, and I truly enjoy making pets feel safe, happy, and cared for while their owners are away. I’ve watched numerous animals over the years and understand how important it is to treat every pet like family. Whether your pet loves playtime, cuddles, walks, or just a calm and caring environment, I’ll make sure they get the best care possible! I currently work part-time, so I have a flexible schedule and plenty of time to give pets lots of attention, care, and playtime throughout the day. I’m available for walks, drop-ins, boarding, and pet sitting during most weekdays and weekends. I love spending time with animals and making sure they feel comfortable, safe, and happy while their owners are away. Your pet’s safety and comfort are always my top priority. I provide a calm, loving, and clean environment where pets can feel relaxed and cared for. I’m very attentive to routines, feeding schedules, medications, and any special instructions provided by owners. I also have experience around different types of animals and understand the importance of patience, supervision, and making pets feel secure.

“Elizabeth truly went above and beyond as a dog sitter for our puppy Fausto. We found ourselves in a last-minute bind while on vacation and reached out to her through Rover.com. Despite the distance and logistical challenges involved in getting to us, Elizabeth immediately offered her assistance without hesitation. Her kindness and willingness to go the extra mile were evident from the start. From the moment Elizabeth arrived, it was clear that Fausto was in excellent hands. She showered him with love and attention, treating him as if he were her own. We felt incredibly fortunate to have found someone so caring and dedicated to looking after our furry family member. Communication was seamless throughout the entire process. Elizabeth was consistently responsive to our texts and provided regular updates on Fausto's well-being. This level of attentiveness gave us peace of mind knowing that he was happy and thriving under her care. In summary, I cannot recommend Elizabeth highly enough to anyone in need of a dog sitter. Her commitment to prioritizing the needs of the pets entrusted to her care is truly exceptional. If you're searching for a top-tier sitter who will treat your dog with the utmost love and respect, look no further than Elizabeth. She exceeded our expectations in every way possible, and we are immensely grateful for her exceptional service.”

“This was our first time leaving our dogs with someone other than family, so we were understandably a little nervous. Julie was absolutely wonderful and took such great care of our dogs. She gave us complete peace of mind while we were away, and it meant so much to know they were in such loving, capable hands. We will definitely request Julie again and highly recommend her to anyone looking for someone they can trust with their pets!”

About: Dogs have been my greatest love my entire life. I currently have two husky mixes of my own and know firsthand what it takes to care for high energy, strong breeds. I’ve raised puppies and work regularly with a professional trainer to continue their growth and development. I founded a premium dog lifestyle brand because I believe dogs deserve the best — and that’s exactly the standard I bring to every walk and visit. Your dog gets my full attention, consistent care, and photo updates throughout. I keep my client list small on purpose so every dog in my care gets exactly what they deserve. I only accept friendly dogs — this ensures a safe and enjoyable experience for everyone. I’m available for walks and visits on Saturdays and Sundays, as well as Friday afternoons starting at 3:30pm. I keep my schedule intentional and my client list small so every dog in my care gets my full attention — never rushed, never an afterthought. When I’m in your home or with your dog on a walk, your pet’s safety is my number one priority. I have two husky mixes of my own so I’m experienced handling strong, high energy dogs on leash. I’m attentive, calm, and always aware of my surroundings. I provide photo updates throughout every visit so you always know your dog is safe and happy. I only accept friendly dogs to ensure a safe experience for everyone.

“My best friend, Roquefort, a 13 year old Great Dane has been suffering with mobility issues, resulting from aging. Albert proved to be a godsend as I have commitments in NYC without someone to care for Roq in my absence. He strictly adhered to all the details of care we covered and even provided more. Albert's general demeanor was perfect as he is a calm person with sensitivities to the needs at hand. Handling Roq was not easy, as he is a large creature requiring assistance to move about. He made my apprehension fade, knowing he would provide devoted attendance to Roq's needs, with much gentle treatment and constant awareness of his needs. I'm very glad that Albert is now a resource.”

About: I am a local farmer/gardener, and I love all kinds of pets. I am a reliable person who will take excellent care of your pet. Whether your pet loves to run and play, or just needs someone to pet them and give them attention, I'm happy to spend time with them. I have always grown up with pets in my home. I've had guinea pigs, chickens, turkeys, cats, dogs, iguanas, and everything under the sun. I grew up spending a lot of time with my aunt, who was a Veterinarian/Director at the ASPCA for 47 years. She has taught me a lot about animals, and I have learned ways to administer medicine and deal with different breeds of cats and dogs. I’m available in the mornings and early afternoon Friday through Sunday, and after 5 pm Tuesday through Thursday. I do work, but I am able to check in on pets mid day. I enjoy spending time with animals, and welcome making them feel comfortable and safe in their home, whether that be just sitting with them or following a specific play routine. I’m able to administer medicine both orally and through injection. I’m also able to follow specific feeding instructions.

About: Hi, I’m Rachel, and I’ve been caring for animals for over two decades. For the past several years, I’ve traveled the country as a trusted pet sitter through reputable apps and personal referrals, providing high-quality care in homes across the U.S. What began as a lifelong love for animals has grown into a full-time calling rooted in reliability, intuition, and genuine respect for the pets and families I serve. Now that I’m back home, I’m excited to offer local pet care with the same level of professionalism and heart I’ve brought to every sit nationwide. Your pets’ comfort, safety, and happiness will always be my top priority :) I’m a homebody who works from home, so pet care fits perfectly into my day. I’m around to give them attention, keep them company, and make sure they feel safe and loved the whole time. I care for pets in other peoples homes currently, if it’s family, friends or clients I’ve met throughout the years, my main priority is to ensure a safe and healthy environment for every animal. This includes bathing, always making sure they have food and water/or following specific feeding times, play time, walks, pets, relaxation time.

About: As a child I grew up with strong ties to nature and animals. I have much experience with dogs, as I had two growing up, one of which is now a senior. I have experience handling different types of animals such as chickens, fish, turtles, cats, dogs, rabbits and hamsters. I’m a college student looking for some extra money on the side, so this would be the perfect job for me! I go to college mostly online, but I do have a class or two in person some days. I’m able to drop in whenever because I’ll be very much free. I can give your pet some comfort and take care of them while you’re gone! I love to go on walks and play with any furry friend!

“Trisha graciously watched my 2 older dogs at the last minute in my home. She was an amazing houseguest, and was incredible with my visually impaired dog who requires various daily medications. My other grumpy dog took to Trisha immediately, which is remarkable as he can be stingy with his affection. Thank you Trisha and we all look forward to seeing you again soon.❤️”

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!

About: I’ve had dogs my whole life, from the day I was born to now! I volunteered at an animal shelter for a year too! I love animals and I love working with them, and hopefully that will become my future career♥️ I take care of my dogs daily and I walk them everyday. I am currently a full time student at a college, so for the summer I will be available every day. But starting late August, I will be starting my 3rd semester so I will be only available on the weekend’s! I wash my dogs, I take them on long walks, I feed them, and they love to cuddle. They are now senior dogs, so they sleep more often, but they are given the love and care that they need!😊

We love Maria! Cookie needs lots of snuggles and attention, and it is evident she gets all she needs and more from Maria while we are away. She isn’t stressed at all when we get back to her. Maria is very communicative, sends lots of pics, is good with our home, and is kind! She quickly became our go-to!

FAQs for House Sitting - Peconic

Frequently asked questions about Rover

As of October 2026, there are 606 sitters on Rover offering House Sitting across Peconic. Enter your ZIP code to see which available sitters are closest to your home.

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 Peconic 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 Peconic 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 Peconic 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.

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

  • 94% of sitters can help with special care needs
  • 94% can help with giving oral medications or injections
  • 97% 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.
