“Giana was fantastic! This was my first time using Rover and it was a last minute request, but she made the whole process smooth and easy. She even offered a meet and greet, and Malvin took to her immediately. Giana was incredibly attentive to Malvin, sent regular picture updates, and responded to my messages quickly. I highly recommend her to watch your fur baby and will definitely reach out to her again the next time I go away!”

About: I’m the person that family and friends go to when they want advice on how to teach dogs fun tricks. Also, I’m really good at telling dogs breeds apart which is fun when I’m out. I work part time on weekends and have classes early in the morning. So the rest of my time can be spent with your babies aka your pets. I have a big backyard that’s fenced in and all three of my dogs don't care for other dogs. As my two newest are shelter dogs I wont accept pets at my home for the time being. Im very patient with animals as I’m the one that cares for my dogs. I treat animals almost similarly to children as thats how I see my own.

“⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ Kathy is truly amazing, and we feel so lucky to have found her! We have four dogs, which is definitely a lot to take on, but Kathy handles them all with so much patience, care, and love. From the very beginning, we felt completely comfortable trusting her with not only our dogs, but our home as well. She consistently goes above and beyond what we could ever expect from a pet sitter. She is incredibly reliable, attentive, and genuinely cares about each of our dogs like they are her own. Having four dogs means four different personalities and needs, and Kathy takes the time to make sure every one of them is happy, comfortable, and well cared for. One of the best parts is the peace of mind she gives us when we’re away. We never have to worry about whether the dogs are okay or being taken care of — we know they are in wonderful hands with Kathy. That kind of trust is priceless when it comes to your pets. If you’re looking for someone who is dependable, caring, trustworthy, and willing to go the extra mile, Kathy is absolutely the person you want. We cannot recommend her enough! ❤️🐾”

About: As a dog parent myself, I understand how important it is to trust someone with your pup. I’m a dedicated pet sitter with three years of volunteer experience at an animal shelter, where I worked with dogs of all breeds, sizes, and energy levels. I’m comfortable handling everything from playful puppies to calm senior dogs, and I tailor each walk and visit to your dog’s individual needs. I’m very detail-oriented and experienced in following specific feeding instructions, medication routines, and behavioral guidelines. Whether your dog needs structured walks, extra patience, or lots of affection, I’m committed to providing safe, dependable, and loving care while you’re away. Pet care is a very important part of my daily routine. I have both a dog and a cat of my own, so caring for pets is already built into my day. I work part-time, which gives me flexibility to focus on walks, visits, feeding schedules, and quality time with each pet to ensure pets receive consistent attention, supervision, and care throughout the day. I care for pets using the experience I gained from three years of volunteering at an animal shelter, where I worked with dogs of all breeds, sizes, and energy levels, as well as cats with different personalities and needs. I tailor my care to each pet to ensure they feel safe, comfortable, and well cared for. In my home, I have a fully fenced yard that allows dogs to safely play, exercise, and relax outdoors. I also have two friendly pets who can provide gentle companionship, helping visiting pets feel more at ease in a calm, welcoming environment. I focus on creating the most comfortable and enjoyable experience possible for every pet. Whether caring for pets in my home or a client’s home, I closely follow feeding instructions, medication routines, and any special care guidelines. My goal is to provide attentive, compassionate care while giving pet parents peace of mind that their pets are in good hands.

About: Hi! I'm Bri ☺️ I've been an animal lover for as long as I can remember. I've lived with animals since before I could talk, and caring for them has always been something I genuinely enjoy. Over the years I've had the opportunity to care for animals of all ages, sizes, and personalities, and I love getting to know what makes each of them unique. 🐶🐈 I'm currently offering walking and drop in visits. I know every fur baby is different. Some want to play the entire visit, while others are happiest taking a slow, sniffy walk or getting belly rubs on the couch. I'm happy to meet them where they're comfortable and give them the kind of care that helps them feel relaxed and happy. 🐾 As a dog mom myself, I know how important it is to find someone you trust with your fur baby. I treat each and every one as if they were my own and always make sure they receive plenty of love, attention, and patience. I'll also send lots of photos and updates during every visit so you can relax knowing your baby is happy and in good hands. 📸 I'm comfortable caring for baby, adult, and senior pets and I can administer oral medications if needed. My goal is to make every visit a positive experience for both you and your fur baby. I can't wait to meet you guys! 🩷 I work from home, which gives me some flexibility throughout the week. My availability can vary depending on my work schedule, so let me know what you're looking for and I'll do my best to make it work! 😊 Your baby's safety and comfort are always my top priorities. I'll follow your care instructions closely, whether that means sticking to a feeding schedule, giving medication, playing with a specific toy, or reinforcing your training routines. I'll treat your home with the same respect I would my own and make sure your fur baby gets plenty of love, attention, and care while you're away. 🩷

“We couldn’t be happier with the care our cats received while we were away on our trip. We’ve unfortunately had some bad experiences with pet sitters in the past, so leaving our cats behind has always been something that caused us a lot of anxiety. From the moment we met her, she gave us such a sense of comfort and peace of mind. She was incredibly communicative throughout our entire trip, followed all of our instructions perfectly, and sent us daily videos and updates of the cats. Being able to see them every day and know they were happy, comfortable, and well cared for made such a huge difference while we were away. She was also extremely respectful of our home and left everything clean and exactly as we had left it. Most importantly, our cats absolutely loved her! It was so clear that they were comfortable with her and genuinely enjoyed having her around. We are so grateful we found someone we can truly trust with our cats and our home. After our previous experiences, she completely changed the way we feel about leaving our pets when we travel. We would recommend her to anyone looking for someone reliable, caring, communicative, and trustworthy. We will absolutely be using her again!”

About: Hi, I’m Benjamin! Animals have been part of my life for over 5 years, and caring for them is second nature to me. I grew up surrounded by pets and even worked at a dog kennel in my hometown during my teens, where I learned the ins and outs of handling pups of all sizes, temperaments, and energy levels. Whether it’s long walks, playtime, or just keeping your furry friend cozy and safe, I bring patience, reliability, and genuine love to every visit. I know how important it is to trust the person looking after your pet, and I treat every animal like family. From dachshunds (my own weiner dogs!) to big goofy retrievers, I’ve got the experience and the heart to make tails wag and owners feel at ease. Caring for pets is woven into my everyday life. I start my mornings with walks and playtime for my own dachshunds, so adding another furry friend to the mix feels natural. Throughout the day, I build in time for feeding, exercise, and check‑ins — whether that’s a quick cuddle break or a longer adventure outside. Because I’ve owned pets for over 5 years and worked at a dog kennel in my teens, I’m used to balancing schedules and adapting to different temperaments. Pet care isn’t something I squeeze in; it’s part of the rhythm of my day. Your pet’s needs — from meals to belly rubs — fit seamlessly into my routine, ensuring they get consistent attention and love. Got it — focusing only on pet care in clients’ homes makes your profile crystal clear. Here’s a polished draft you can use: --- 🐾 Caring for Pets in Clients’ Homes I feel confident and happy caring for pets in their own homes, where they’re most comfortable. I respect each household’s routines and rules, making sure feeding, walks, playtime, and affection match what your pet is used to. Your pet stays relaxed in familiar surroundings, and you get peace of mind knowing they’re cared for like family.

About: I’m new on this platform, so I don't have any reviews yet, but I'm looking forward to the opportunity to care for your precious fur baby. I've always loved animals and grew up surrounded by pets. My parents bred Pomeranians, and as a teen I had a Sheltie who I absolutely adored. Over the years, I’ve cared for friends’, coworkers’, and even my boss’s pets while they were away, making sure they stayed on schedule with meals, exercise, and attention. Last year, I took a sabbatical during which I traveled the country largely through pet sitting. During that experience, I cared for a wide variety of pets—from young, energetic pets to seniors, and from energetic Border Collies and Newfiedoodles to independent outdoor Calico cats and affectionate indoor Russian Blues. I loved and cared for each of them as if they were my own. I’m attentive to established routines and enjoy getting to know each pet’s unique personality and needs. I understand how important peace of mind is while you’re away, so I’m always happy to provide regular updates and photos. My goal is to make sure your pet feels safe, comfortable, well cared for, and loved while you’re away. Since I work full time (8:00-4:30), my availability is primarily evenings (5pm onwards) and weekends for dog walks and drop-ins. I can also assist with morning cat feedings or drop-ins (6-7:30am) on my way to work when timing and location allow. I’m open to weekend house sitting with advance notice and aim to provide consistent, reliable care for every pet. I genuinely enjoy forming bonds with animals and creating a calm, consistent environment for them while their owners are away. To me, this means closely following their established feeding, exercise, and play routines while also giving them plenty of care and affection. As someone who is dependable and detail-oriented, I treat every pet and home with the same respect and attentiveness I would my own. My goal is always to help pets feel safe, comfortable, and cared for while maintaining their normal routine as much as possible.

The average cost of Pet Sitting in Sound Beach on Rover is $32 per visit as of October 2026. Most bookings cost between $22 and $47 per visit. sitters set their own rates based on factors such as their experience, the length of care, the number of pets, and your pet’s specific needs.

As of October 2026, there are 3,305 sitters on Rover offering Pet Sitting across Sound Beach. Enter your ZIP code to see which available sitters are closest to your home.

You and your sitter can agree on a care schedule that fits your pet’s routine and the sitter’s availability. Pet Sitting can be booked as a one-time or recurring drop-in visit. If you need overnight care or dog walks, you may also be able to book House Sitting or Dog Walking through Rover with the same sitter, provided they offer those services.

Before booking, confirm:

  • the timing, length, and frequency of visits;
  • the care instructions the sitter should follow;
  • which parts of your pet’s usual routine should be prioritized;
  • how often you would like to receive messages, photos, or other updates.

Not every sitter offers the same services, availability, or booking options. Review their profile and discuss the care you need through Rover before booking each service.

If you would like updates while you’re away, you can discuss with your sitter how many or how frequent you’d like those updates to be. The Rover app allows sitters to send photos, videos, and messages about your pet, including how many pee or poop breaks occurred. You can message your sitter at any time through the app and our support team is available 24/7 by email or chat if you have concerns.

The personalized, in-home nature of pet care through Rover can mean more individual attention for your pet.

Many pet parents provide a spare key or arrange a lockbox. You can also exchange keys during the Meet & Greet and show your walker how to use digital fobs or personalized codes. It helps to arrange access to your home, from spare keys to concierge introductions, before pet care begins.

If you live in an apartment or condo, don’t forget to discuss details like buzzer access, codes, or elevator etiquette. These details can help a pet sitter feel more comfortable going in and out of your building.

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 .

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.

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.

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.
