“Chloe did a wonderful job. Our dog didn’t seem anxious at all when we returned. She stayed in our condo and let it clean as can be. We are so happy with her that we’re requesting her for 2 weeks!”
About: I have always had a strong passion for animals and have taken every opportunity to care for and support them. Over the years, I have provided reliable dog and cat sitting services, working with a variety of breeds and sizes. Growing up in a home that always included pets has given me a deep appreciation for animals and a natural ability to care for them with patience, attention, and love. I would love the opportunity to provide your furry companion with the love, care, and happiness they deserve. I have a very flexible schedule and am currently available at a variety of times. With clear communication regarding dates and times needed, I will be able to promptly confirm my availability and ensure I can meet your scheduling needs. Every animal is unique, and I tailor care routines to best fit each pet’s individual needs and schedule. I believe clear communication is key to creating the perfect care plan for your furry companion. I always prioritize dedicated playtime and, depending on the pet, provide walks and outdoor time to keep them happy and active. I am highly flexible and committed to meeting the specific needs of every animal in my care.
“Braelyn was great. Pearl was calm and at ease with her (even though there were massive thunderstorms and electricity went out one night). Communicative and helpful. Would definitely ask her to sit with Pearl again.”
“Kelsey is awesome and is welcome back to watch Hunter and our House! Very great with dogs and children as her daughter Kinsley is as sweet as can be! excellent communication! Hope to be able to book her again when we head out of town!”
“What a godsend! We were hesitant to take a trip as our Benji has high anxiety but Meghann was an absolute gift! She took such great care of our pup and our home. She provided outstanding communication with updates and pictures that made our time away so much more relaxing. We couldn’t believe how Benji warmed up to her. She’s a whisperer! Our home was tidy and clean and she even came back and stayed with our Boy since our return was delayed. Five stars are not enough…. We will definitely book her again and again.”
About: I’ve taken care of horses, dogs, cats, rabbits and other small fury pets since I was about 11, between owning and watching other people’s pet! I also have a dog, 2 cats, rabbits and a ferret of my own I’m currently only working part time so I have a lot of free time and flexibility to spend time with your pets giving them lots of love I prefer to look after pets in their own home as I dont have the space in my home and it eases your pets stress
“I highly recommend Gucci’s daycare sitter to anyone looking for dependable, professional, and loving pet care. As someone with a very busy schedule balancing work and school, having a sitter I can trust gives me tremendous peace of mind. Her communication is excellent—she keeps me updated consistently and sends pictures of Gucci throughout the day, which reassures me that he is safe, happy, and well cared for. It is very clear that Gucci is comfortable in her care because he never shows signs of anxiety when he returns home. In fact, he comes home happy, relaxed, and pleasantly tired from having such an active and enjoyable day. She is professional, attentive, trustworthy, and provides exceptional care at a very affordable rate. I truly feel that Gucci is in great hands whenever he is with her. I am beyond grateful to have found someone who treats my dog with such care and attention. Highly recommended!”
About: I grew up with two dogs and two cats. I now own two cats of my own and they are my world. I am certified in animal care through the CAT Center. There I learned to groom and care for many different kinds of animals. I am home for the summer trying to make some money before I move to florida for school. My schedule is pretty much completely open. At home my cats eat at 8am and 8pm I go back and forth between dry and wet food. I clean the litter once a day and completely change it once a week. I play with them as much as I can and I’m always bringing them new toys. I care for all animals like they’re my own.
“We and our fur babies love Emily. She is a good walker and snuggle. She sends us pictures so we don't miss them too terribly while we are away AND leaves the house EXACTLY as we left it...so clean and neat. We HIGHLY recommend Emily for all your pet/house sitting needs!!”
About: I’ve grown up around dogs and cats. I’m reliable and take the time to make sure they feel comfortable. I can help with dogs (basic routines and leash walking) and I’m patient with senior pets who need a little extra care. I treat every pet like my own I work at a dog grooming place most days, so I’m around animals all the time. I’m off on Sundays and Wednesdays and have more flexibility then, but I can still do pet care after work on other days if that’s needed. I care for pets in my client’s home by following their routine for feeding, walks, and playtime. I keep them safe, clean up after them and spend time with them so they feel comfortable. I also follow any special instructions and send updates to the owner.
“Sally did such an amazing job with Miller and Lexie! She sends the best updates and pictures! It makes it so much easier to leave them knowing they are in such caring hands!”
“Timia was great to our pups while we were away! She was a joy to get to meet beforehand. She took her time letting the dogs get to know her. Dogs seemed to have a great time with her here, and we came home to two well cared for pups. Thanks Timia for easing our minds while we were away, and loving on them extra well. If schedules align, we will definitely have Timia back!”
“Absolutely the best house sitter! She loved on our pups so much and sent a ton of photos and videos! Linda was extremely flexible and helped us out in a tight scheduling issue. Hands down would have her watch our pups again. 100% recommend!”
About: Hi, I’m Erika! I’ve been caring for animals since I was very young and have experience with a wide variety of pets—including fish, lizards, guinea pigs, dogs, and cats. Although I couldn’t have a cat growing up due to allergies in my household, I’ve been cat-sitting for neighbors since elementary school. I’ve cared for dogs of all sizes, from toy poodles to mastiffs, and have experience with breeds like border collies, standard and miniature poodles, German shepherds, French bulldogs, dachshunds, goldendoodles, labs, Boykin spaniels, shih tzus, and more. I’ve also dog-sat puppies and kittens and have experience with senior pets, including administering oral medication when needed. Whether it’s regular walks, playtime, or just offering a calm, reassuring presence, I’m committed to creating a safe, comfortable environment. I also prioritize clear, consistent communication with pet owners to keep them updated and at ease while they’re away. Pet care fits naturally into my daily routine because I’m available most days and can easily accommodate multiple walks or drop-ins throughout the day. Whether it’s morning, afternoon, or evening, I have the flexibility to provide consistent, reliable care and attention to your pet whenever it’s needed. I don’t offer overnight stays at my own home because one of the dogs I live with doesn’t get along well with other dogs. However, I’m happy to do overnight stays at your home, where your pet is most comfortable and in a familiar environment. This way, I can provide consistent care, keep up with their routine, and ensure they feel safe and relaxed while you’re away.
“Absolutely fantastic experience! They treated our fur babies as if they were their own and were incredibly respectful of our home. We received regular updates with messages and photos, which went a long way in putting us at ease, knowing our pets were in great hands. Their extra effort allowed us to fully enjoy our vacation without any worries. We highly recommend their services and will definitely be requesting them for our next pet sitting!”
About: I have had experience training and caring for dogs. I currently own 2 dogs, one small and a bigger one. I am the go to sitter for my family and I know enough to interact and communicate with these fun pets. To this day I am still learning more about how to strengthen my bond with my four legged friends and always trying to find a way for them to live a clean, lengthy, healthy life. These days have been kind of slow and I always make time for my four legged crew so I will be available all weekdays with the exception of Friday and weekends. I have a big fenced in yard and two fur babies to keep your family company. I always make sure to keep my eye on them and talk to them so we establish a link of communication.
About: I grew up with many dogs and cats and have loved helping take care of all animals ever since I was a kid! I have experience helping family friends by taking care of their pets while out of town. I am currently out of college for the summer and have a very open and flexible schedule and are available for any pet sitting or walking needed! Whether you need your dogs crated when leaving or they’re allowed to be out I will make sure they’re comfortable before leaving! Whatever specifications you have for your pets I will gladly do my best to make sure they are followed and make sure they get lots of love before I leave!

Pet parents share their Rover experiences - Snug Harbor
Braelyn did an amazing job watching our fur baby GSD while we were out of town. She kept things normal for him and communicated perfectly. He had a tiny spot come up on his back that required a little medical attention and she handled it all very well - helping him to heal up. We felt very confident with both our dog and home and in her hands. She also kept the cats company and the week went perfectly. Highly recommend her services!!

FAQs for House Sitting - Snug Harbor
Frequently asked questions about Rover
The average cost for House Sitting in Snug Harbor on Rover is $55.5 per night (as of July 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 July 2026, there are 597 sitters on Rover offering House Sitting across Snug Harbor. 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 Snug Harbor 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 Snug Harbor 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 Snug Harbor 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.

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.
