About: HIGHLY EXPERIENCED WITH DOGS THAT HAVE BEHAVIORAL ISSUES!! Schedule is a bit tight with clients, but i’ll always try to make room :) I have grown up with, and helped care for, dogs my whole life. For the past 3 years I have been training my dog, currently with assistance from a trainer. He was fearful-reactive and is now an amazing service dog in training. I have been a volunteer at the world’s largest no-kill shelter for 3 years now. I have handled dogs of all ages, sizes, breeds, and temperaments. I have worked with blind and senior dogs. I have run puppy play groups, as well as puppy mill, senior, and teen play groups. some behavioral challenges in dogs that I have worked with include: fearful; reactive; food and/or object possessive; stranger danger; separation anxiety; dog vs dog aggression; strong leadership; mouthy; and more i’m sure i’m forgetting. I have taken several extensive dog training classes to improve my skill and knowledge. I was the first 16 year old to reach one of the most advanced dog levels. I am very well-versed in understanding dog body language. I have dealt with sick dogs as well as dogs with skin conditions. I have helped get the neighbors dog to eat, as well as go potty and play, and dog walked for several clients. I also have experience with cats from the shelter as i have taken advanced feline behavior classes. I am able to understand cat body language fairly well. I have worked with cats as well as kittens, and cat sat several times. I can care for, and clean up after, dogs and/or cats. I will always respect your pets boundaries. I am currently an undergrad studying animal psychology and medicine! I will genuinely treat your fur babies as my own. My dedication and passion truly is to ALL animals. 🩷 I regularly update my calendar to show my availability, though i’m pretty flexible. Make sure to check there! Can’t wait to hear from you :) I will make sure your pet has fresh food and water, as well as making sure there is nothing clearly dangerous left out that the pet could hurt themselves with or eat. I will ensure everything is as it was when I came, as well as closing and locking any doors I used. I will dispose of animal waste as instructed. On walks I have a steady balance and strong leash hold to ensure the dog stays with me. I may carry treats with me for minor training/intervention (if allowed and if the dog pulls or something like that). If your dog is scared of certain things or creatures I will take precautions to avoid anything triggering to the dog. Lastly, I will certainly make sure the pet(s) feel loved, happy, and relaxed.
“Samantha was great! We had an unique petcare request and she was exceptionally accommodating. She sent us updates and photos and our little guy was well taken care of. We highly recommend her to other Rover-subs.”
“Lauren house-sat for us, and cared for my two dogs like they were her own. They warmed up to her immediately, she stuck to the schedule and instructions that I provided, and was communicative with updates and pictures. We would absolutely hire her again.”
About: Hi, I’m Gianna! I'm a passionate second year vet student with hands-on experience in emergency vet med and general practice. I’ve worked in vet clinics and have two amazing rescue dogs of my own! I’m here to provide loving, knowledgeable, and reliable care for your furry friends. Currently I am in school Monday-Friday so my schedule is day-dependent; however, I am more than happy to work with you to go over dates/times you are looking for services to best accommodate you and your pet(s)! Your pet’s safety and comfort are my top priorities! With my experience in both emergency and general veterinary settings, I take every precaution to ensure your pet is safe, happy, and stress-free. I’ll care for them as if they were my own, offering plenty of love, attention, and patience while following the same safety measures used by vet staff. Whether it’s administering medications, monitoring their well-being, or simply making sure they feel comfortable in their own home, you can trust that your pet is in experienced, caring hands.
“Brandon did a fantastic job watching over our pets. It couldn’t have went any better. He was able to give our kitten the special attention she needed with her daily medications.”
About: I have a genuine love for animals and enjoy spending time caring for them. I understand that every pet has a unique personality and different needs. I am patient, responsible, and attentive, and I always strive to make pets feel safe, comfortable and loved. Whether it’s feeding, walking, playing or providing companionship, I treat every pet with the same love and attention I would give my own. I’m currently a second year medical student with a mostly remote schedule, which gives me plenty of flexibility to provide attentive and loving care for your pets. Since I spend much of my time studying from home, I’m able to offer frequent potty breaks, walks, playtime, and lots of companionship throughout the day. I enjoy having animals beside me while I study and can easily incorporate their needs into my daily routine. Your dog’s safety, comfort, and happiness are my top priorities. I understand how important it is to leave your animals with someone you can trust. Whether caring for your dogs in my home or yours, I will provide a clean, calm, loving and safe environment. I carefully follow feeding schedules, walking routines and any special instructions provided by the owner.
“Kristen was wonderful with our two cats while we were away. She made sure to ask how much we wanted to be updated and tailored it accordingly. One of our cats is 20 and has a kidney-specific diet due to health issues and Kristen ensured she was well fed and taken care of. We could tell when we got home how much they were pampered while we were gone and I know they can’t wait until they get Kristen back again ?⬛ ?”
“Kyla was amazing - she was so attentive and understood the needs of our dog. She even went out of her way to meet our dog beforehand which shows her dedication. We can’t wait to have her dog sit again soon!”
About: My name is Deshaun, a former tv meteorologist, and I love dogs. I am experienced with taking care of dogs through family and friends. Giving animals as much love as possible is my motto. Show them as much love and attention as possible and always be on alert with pets. Never leave peers on their own. Make sure that they are well fed. I’m currently in between jobs, so I have all the time in the world. I will dedicate a lot of time into taking care of my clients I treat my client’s home with top care. I will never bring strangers into their homes, keep everything clean and tidy and avoid rooms that are banned.
“Brigette has been a dog sitter we have been able to rely on continuously while we are at work. We are in the process of training our 8 month old puppy whom is potty training, crate training and is slowly learning to get past his anxiety of being home alone. She has proven to be patient and attentive to Ziggy’s needs as well as in constant communication with Ziggy updates and any questions she may have. We have rebooked her multiple times thus far and plan to continue rebooking her!”
“This is a second time Fido stayed with Lia. Fido needs special care because he is paralyzed from waist down. I will be honest that's a lot of work even for us who is dealing with it for 2 years. Lia was amazing with Fido, and we trust her completely. We are planning another vacation in a few months and Lia is the person I will definitely book it. I hope she will say YES : )”

“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!”

About: Hi, I'm John! I’m an animal lover with years of experience caring for dogs, cats, and other pets. I understand that leaving your pet with someone is a big decision, so my goal is to make them feel safe, comfortable, and cared for while you're away. I treat every pet as an individual.

I take the time to learn your pet's routine, personality, likes, dislikes, and special needs before you leave. What you can expect from me: Plenty of attention, playtime, and exercise Walks tailored to your dog's age and energy level Feeding and medication according to your instructions Regular photo and message updates Careful attention to your pet's normal routine A reliable and responsible sitter who treats your home and pet with respect I also understand how important communication is to pet parents.

I'm happy to discuss your pet's schedule and see how I can accommodate their needs. Most importantly, I want your pet to have a positive experience while you're away. My goal is for you to come home knowing your pet was safe, happy, and well cared for. I look forward to meeting you and your pet! I work full-time in NYC, but I’m available for walks and visits during the afternoon lunch hour on most weekdays. Weekends offer much more flexibility for walks, playtime, and longer visits.

The average cost of House Sitting in Roslyn is $39 per night as of October 2026. Most bookings cost between $39 and $39 per night.

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 Roslyn 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 Roslyn 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 Roslyn 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 , 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 .
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 .
sitters on Rover set their own , 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.
