About: Neighbors and friends have trusted me with their dogs and cats for years — from daily walks to extended boarding. I match your pet's energy, whether they need a calm companion or an adventure buddy. I am currently a medical student, and my schedule is very flexible. I can take care of pets in the afternoons and the entire weekend. Your pet's comfort and safety come first. I stick to your established routines so they barely notice you're gone — consistent feeding, potty breaks, and plenty of love. I'm attentive to behavioral cues and know when a pet needs calm reassurance vs. playtime.

About: I have pet sit other dogs prior but the one dog that sticks out is my sister’s black lab. Shakira was a black lab mutt with an auto immune disease. She needed twice daily medication and to be taken out side frequently. I work nights as a custodian for a school district ! So I’m available early to mid mornings for walks or house sitting over the weekends. As I have a cat, my number one priority for him is always making sure the doors are shut. He’s an indoor kitty and I ensure that it stays that way. Always guaranteed to have food and water and a clean litter box.

About: I have grown up with different dogs my entire life. My best friend was a Rottweiler named Sampson and I had him from a pup. I create trained him as well as click trained him to become a good citizen. I have experience with large breeds as well as small. I have cared my many fur babies in this own homes, keeping them happy with conversation, brushing, play time and long walks. I feel that all breeds deserve love regardless of the negativity they may get from others who don't understand the breed. I have owned pitbulls and have found them to be loyal and loving and don't judge any animal. I have experience training my own dogs as well as freinds and family. I'm currently working PT as a home health aid and have flexibility and free time Tuesday through Saturday to walk and hangout with your beloved fur baby. I would come to your home and watch your dog, take them for a walk, snuggle, feed, play, brush and engage them with conversation and provide them love and support.

About: I have grown up around animals my entire life and have had Bernese Mountain Dogs since I was born, including having three Bernese at one time. Caring for large dogs has given me extensive experience with feeding schedules, walks, grooming needs, exercise, and providing attentive care. In addition to dogs, I have also raised two bunnies and two hamsters, giving me experience with small animals and understanding the importance of patience and gentle care. Currently, I care for one Bernese Mountain Dog, one bunny, and two French Bulldogs. My lifelong experience with both large and small pets helps set me apart as someone who is comfortable, reliable, and genuinely passionate about caring for animals. I’m currently home for the summer from college so most of my days are free. I am currently working part time, two days a week at night. I make sure every pet feels safe, comfortable, and cared for while keeping their normal routine as consistent as possible. In both my home and a client’s home, I follow feeding schedules carefully, provide fresh water at all times, give pets plenty of exercise and attention, and make sure they have a clean environment. I am experienced caring for both large and small animals, so I understand that each pet has different needs and personalities

About: 🐾Find me on Facebook Under Renee’s Reliable Pet Care!🐾 Passionate About Animals! Walks, Drop In’s + Happy Tails! ☺️ IG: reneesreliable_petcare I work part time on a flexible remote schedule, no kids. Enjoy true peace of mind knowing your pets are in caring hands with Renee’s Reliable Pet Care! I can be part of a positive routine that your pet can look forward to! Contact me to schedule a meet and greet and check out my amazing reviews! 🐾 I have a passion for learning and understanding all different types of animals. I truly believe each animal has its own individual personality and quirks. My experience in pet care comes from having my own pets, caring for family, friends, clients, and neighbors. I started this journey because I had a difficult time finding reliable sitter’s for my own dog who has suffered from several seizures and has some separation anxiety. I would get canceled on when I was at the office and not have the care for him when I needed it most. These struggles helped me realize that I can easily be that reliable, compassionate person for individuals and their pets! I am punctual, great at showering pets with love and attention, and patient. I am reliable, caring and always happy to go out of my way to help others! I am all about details so please tell me everything your pet likes so my visits can be exciting and happy for your pet! Care checked/background checked. I am so excited to meet you and your baby! If you need someone to stay with your dog for a longer period of time, I work remotely MWF from 12:45-6 pm. I have a flexible work schedule so always ask for what you need! I have availability Tuesdays and Thursdays and have several time slots open 7 days a week this includes open weekend availability. I will take care of your pet like they’re my own! Safety and satisfaction is my number one priority. I will ensure your dog is properly leashed before leaving the house and ensure all doors are locked.

Chelsea was able to drop in and take care of my fur family with very little notice, when our regular pet sitter was unavailable She sent great pictures, stayed in touch during her visit and even got along with my temperamental Chorkie. We will definitely be using her again.

Sarah Z The aka "dog whisper". I have never been away before and I have two protective yet talkative yet shy 11 month old German shepards, Sarah came over and met my girls and it was like a whole new experience yet training training session in one! She is kind compassionate and so amazing with animals. I felt so at ease leaving my kids with her when I went away, I would highly recommend her to anyone! Honestly this was my first time using this app but I will always use Sarah two thumbs up and a bunch of gold stars.

About: Animals have always been an important part of my life. Growing up, I lived with two tuxedo cats who completely stole my heart. As I got older, I took on many of their daily care responsibilities, including feeding them, cleaning their litter boxes, playing with them, and making sure they felt loved and comfortable. Today, my wife and I are proud pet parents to two black cats. In addition to caring for cats, I have experience watching a toy poodle puppy under one year old. My responsibilities have included taking her outside for regular bathroom breaks, supervising walks, engaging her in play and exercise, teaching basic tricks and commands, reinforcing good behavior, and helping her work through separation anxiety. Caring for a young puppy taught me the importance of consistency, positive reinforcement, patience, and attentiveness to a pet's individual needs. Whether caring for cats or dogs, I am committed to providing a safe, loving, and reliable environment where pets feel comfortable, happy, and well cared for. I understand that every animal has a unique personality, and I strive to give each pet the same level of attention and affection that I would want for my own. i work part time in the mornings and am available most days after 1pm. I am a doctoral student at Stony Brook University, so I am flexible to watch your pup or kitty any time in the afternoons/evenings. If needed, I can do an early morning stop by at 6:30AM prior to heading to work. in my clients home, I will be respectful of property, taking off shoes before entering the house, cleaning up any messes that the animal/myself may create, ensuring the animal has food, water, litter box, toys, etc. accessible, and to lock up the house, windows, and any gates prior to leaving the home. I will always accommodate the clients requests. In my home, I have multiple floors to separate my animals from the animal(s) coming into my home. I also have a fully fenced in, large backyard for a dog to run around in. We have a home security system as well to ensure safety.

Bridget was amazing. Our two girls Holly and Shadow were very happy and we are so pleased that we found someone so close to us. We will definitely be using Bridget again in the near future. She treated our girls like they were her own. Our girls are older so they are very picky and they have their own issues. Shadow is a 13 year old Pug losing her hearing and Holly is a 12 year old Boston Terrier who is losing her vision. She was exceptional with them.

Sydney is wonderful with my pups. My little girl pup is a loving, easy going baby but our boy had a rough start in life. He was neglected and abused so he gets a bit nervous with new people. Sydney really read him well and understood him right away. He warmed up to her very quickly because she gives him the time and space he needs to be able to trust. Having someone in our home when we aren’t was another big deal for us and Sydney really is just so trustworthy and respectful. We are so grateful that she comes and loves our pups when we are at work! I highly recommend reaching out to her if you’re looking for a reliable, responsible and trustworthy person to look after your pets!

D’Andre was a big help, came through last minute for me to take care of Rex while I was away for a trip. He was very nice to Rex, attentive and even took care of doggy spill Rex had. Super communicative during the visit and I’m glad I hired him and will hire him more in the future.

Frequently asked questions about Rover

The average cost for Dog Sitting in Port Jefferson on Rover is $16.65 per visit (as of July 2026). However, all sitters set their own rates based on experience, location, and availability.

Rover makes budgeting the cost of Dog Sitting easy. As long as your dates and pet profiles are correct, the price you see before you book is the same price you pay for Dog Sitting. For more information on service fees, click here .

As of July 2026, there are 3,841 sitters on Rover offering Dog Sitting across Port Jefferson. 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 Port Jefferson 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 Port Jefferson 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 Port Jefferson 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 Port Jefferson. On Rover:

  • 91% of sitters can help with special care needs
  • 95% can help with giving oral medications or injections
  • 95% 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 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.
