“Keoma was great, she took special care of my cat and dog and I didn’t have to worry about a thing! She sent lots of pics and videos to keep me informed during my stay, and even did a nail clipping for my dog. I’ll definitely be choosing her again.”

“She did a great job! She followed instructions and was able to administer our dog’s eye drops which isn’t easy. She left the house cleaner than when we left, and was very communicative and friendly.”

“John was responsible and reliable. We felt so comfortable leaving our pups and our home in his care. He was super responsive and came to meet the dogs before the care began. Thank you John!”
“I cannot say enough about Ashley! She spent the weekend with my dogs and she was FABULOUS! The sweetest young lady. My dogs LOVE her (and they don’t love many!!). Ash sent me pictures all weekend, great communication- such an incredible demeanor with the dogs. I literally feel like for the first time in years, I can actually go away with total confidence and trust that my dogs are in the best of hands. She is really special.”

“Cassidy is amazing. She’s attentive, empathetic, kind and considerate. She sent me plenty of videos and photos of my puppers and always asked questions before doing anything to make sure it was in line with how my boys are usually treated. I appreciate her attention to detail, as well as her kindness to my aging babies. I highly recommend her for all your pet care needs.”


“Kevin took great care of my two frenchies while I was travelling. One has special needs and both take a number daily medications and Kevin handled it all perfectly. They also have allergies and special dietary requirements and were happy and healthy when I got home. Kevin kept me updated with cute pictures everyday and was great to work with! My apt was also left neat and tidy! Thanks so much Kevin! Will definitely rebook for our next trip!”

“Garrett was so wonderful! My girl loved him immediately and I left knowing she was in incredible hands. Garrett was so responsive and asked such great questions to make sure all information was covered. I will definitely book again!”

“JJ was awesome with our pets. Lots of love and attention for our dog and cat plus the house was taken care of. Will definitely book again on our next trip. Thanks JJ for all your help!”


“Cassidy took great care of our dog Scooby, who is a 100 pound German shepherd. She spent the night in our house with him, took him out multiple times a day, fed and played with him, while sending us pictures and keeping us updated throughout our entire trip. Scooby never had a sitter before but Cassidy made him feel comfortable the entire time. We arrived home to a happy and healthy boy. We would absolutely recommend Cassidy and hope to use her again in the future!”

“Always a fantastic experience leaving my pups with Imani. She cares for them as if they were her own. All instructions followed, regularly in communication, and a fantastic pet photographer while we're away! She always sends me update photos better than I have ever taken myself.”


About: Hi! I’m Kim — a lifelong dog lover, wellness-minded caregiver, and proud dog mom to my puppy, Saint 🐾 Caring for animals has always come naturally to me. I’ve grown up around dogs, adopted through the North Shore Animal League America, and have experience pet sitting for friends, family, and local clients. I understand how important it is to leave your pet with someone who is patient, attentive, and genuinely loving. My approach is calm, nurturing, and intuitive. Whether your dog loves long walks, playtime, cuddles, or simply a peaceful presence, I adapt to their personality and needs to help them feel safe and comfortable while you’re away. You can expect: • Reliable communication & frequent photo updates • Gentle, attentive care • A clean, calm, stress-free environment • Plenty of affection, patience, and playtime • Someone who treats your dog like family As a wellness practitioner, I naturally bring a grounded, calming energy into the care I provide — and animals tend to respond really well to that. I know firsthand how much trust it takes to leave your pet with someone, and I’m committed to making both you and your dog feel completely at ease 🤍 I can’t wait to meet your furry best friend! Pet care fits naturally into my daily routine since I genuinely enjoy spending time with animals. I have a flexible schedule that allows me to give pets plenty of attention, walks, playtime, cuddles, and consistent care throughout the day. I’m reliable, communicative, and committed to making your pet feel safe and loved while you’re away. Your pet’s safety and comfort are my top priorities. I create a calm, clean, and loving environment where pets can feel relaxed and secure. I have a small fenced-in yard and live within walking distance of a dog park, as well as many beautiful local spots perfect for walks and outdoor time. I pay close attention to routines, feeding schedules, walks, and each pet’s unique personality and needs. I also provide regular updates and photos/ videos so you can feel at ease knowing your furry family member is in caring hands.
“Kenine was amazing! Very attentive to our Sky. Lots of walks and video updates for us. We felt very comfortable and knew that Sky was safe and getting plenty of love and attention while we were away. We will be booking again and highly recommend!”

About: I have taken care of all types of animals my whole life. I am most familiar with cats and dogs but I welcome all animals and I will do everything in my power to make your pets happy. I currently work full-time from 9am to 5pm, but I am completely free on the weekends. I am open to communicating with you to figure out the best time for my service. Your pet’s safety is my number one concern. I have been with animals who have different personalities and needs. I have been able to give the proper care to each of the dogs I have cared for.
“Another great day being able to go to work and know that my boys are in good hands with Jewel! She is communicative, punctual, and a natural with interacting with the dogs - not giving them too much attention when it would make them overexcited, and being very kind and affectionate when the time is right. I certainly recommend her to you.”


“Mike was our very first Rover experience, and I'm so glad we found him. He stayed at our home and took such good care of our dog and cat, sent frequent updates and photos, and was so communicative and kind. Our animals seemed very happy for all the round the clock care and attention he gave them, and it was such a relief to have them in good hands. Highly recommend Mike, and hope to have him back to take care of our animals again in the future!”

About: I've taken care of animals since I was a kid. Through out my life i have learned how to properly handle dogs, Puppies, cats and kittens by watching my family members and by having my own fair share of pets. I had a puppy of my own in high school and taught myself how ' to potty train as well as learning the different things like the best type of toy for teething, type of treats and food a puppy needs. Also I have had a pet of mine that has had a litter of puppies and learned how to distribute formula to newborns. I currently have two doggies one is 6 years old the other is 7 years old well as a cat that me and my family got from a family friend that found her in their garage. I’ve worked with dogs between the ages of a puppy to a senior dog as well as dogs with disabilities since high school. My love and passion for helping animals in need has made me work with a private owned foster care facility that worked close with dogs with disabilities to places like doggy daycares where I got to see more dogs that require special needs and see first hand how nice and or aggressive a dog can be. I’m currently not in school for the summer so that gives me more time for your fur babies. I can give them my full attention and time and give them the care they deserve and allow you to feel comfortable knowing someone is giving them attention If you require your pet to be in a crate once their walk has been finished or need to be sectioned off to a specific area I will make sure I properly do so.
About: I've cared for both dogs and cats my whole life-- I've never lived without a pet! I also have experience as a volunteer caretaker through my local animal shelter, and a deep passion for animal welfare and happiness. I work part-time and am a part-time student, so please check my calendar for availability. I have class from 4-9pm Tuesday & Wednesday and my work schedule is typically the day shift on Monday and Thursday. Again, if there are any deviances, I will mark them on the calendar! I'm happy to let your pet set the pace-- if they're a cuddle bug, I'll give them snuggles, and if they need some time to warm up, I'll sit quietly while they get used to me. If your puppy feels the need for speed, I'll take him on a sprightly jog, but if your senior prefers to take the scenic route, we can stop and sniff every tree. I'll listen to your instructions and preferences and theirs.

Pet parents share their Rover experiences - Port Washington
Antonia was great! She was incredibly responsive and flexible in scheduling our meet and greet, which I very much appreciated. Nia house sat for my dog and cat; the cat has CKD and requires extra care and Nia was on top of it. Nia spent lots of time with Teddy doing what he loves best - snuggling! Nia loves animals and they love her right back! Nia also provided regular updates, which I appreciated, especially since it was the first time we worked together. I will definitely use Nia again!

Andrew as usual was prompt, kind and communicative. He not only sends photos, he takes really artistic ones! I found my house the way I left it, the cats and dog well taken care of and all my requests followed to the T. I highly recommend Andrew, he truly loves animals and is very thoughtful and caring about their well being.

FAQs for House Sitting - Port Washington
Frequently asked questions about Rover
The average cost for House Sitting in Port Washington on Rover is $62.16 per night (as of August 2026). However, all sitters set their own rates based on experience, location, and availability.
Rover makes budgeting the cost of House 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 House Sitting. For more information on service fees, click here .
As of August 2026, there are 18,894 sitters on Rover offering House Sitting across Port Washington. 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 Port Washington 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 Port Washington 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.
Tip: 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 Port Washington 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 short introductory meeting between you, your pet, 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.
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.
