“Dani did an exceptional job wth our 2 pups!!! Due to unforeseen circumstances, we had to switch our drop in person mid vacation and Dani was willing and able to pickup the last of our days. Having never met our girls, she went into the house and made them feel extremely comfortable. They loved her visits and played long and hard with them. Our one pup was abandoned and has major anxiety issues. Dani took great care of her, taking time to make her feel extra comfortable. I am so glad that we found Dani and I would recommend her to everyone! She is the best!”
“Caitlin was such a big help when my husband and I had to leave town for a few days. She loves animals with her whole heart and really shared the love with our dog and cat during her drop in visits. Her feedback on how visits went were detailed and she sent us the cutest photos of our fur babies. We recommend her services to anyone who is looking for pet care and look forward to booking her again in the future!”
“Kelsie did an excellent job while I was out of town for a week. My kitties experienced a bit more separation anxiety than usual, and ended up making a huge mess of the front room. Kelsie informed me of it immediately and was super understanding of it. Since I wasn’t around my phone during that visit and couldn’t tell her where the cleaning sprays were, she waited till I was able to tell her where the items were. Then came back the next day to further clean up the floors! One of my kitties is very weary of new people and she did great with making sure not to stress her out too much.”
“Robbyn is incredibly professional, reliable and respectful of my home, my animals opened up quickly to her, to which I was surprised. I would absolutely book her again.”
“Rebecca did an amazing job caring for justice. She made sure to cater to her every need, even adjusting times when needed. I usually kennel justice when I go away so this was my 1st time using this type of service and I couldn’t be happier. Thank you Rebeccah for taking such good care of my baby and calming my nerves.”
About: For as long as I can remember, I’ve had the joy of caring for animals of every size and personality. From dogs and cats to birds and fish, I’ve spent a lifetime giving animals the love, attention, and structure they need to feel safe and happy. I’ve been involved in competitive field trials, obedience training, and plenty of everyday fur baby fun, and those experiences have taught me how to connect with pets in a way that feels natural and reassuring. Whether through boarding at my house or drop in visits at yours you can be assured your pet will be well taken care of. Your pet will enjoy our fenced‑in backyard, daily walks, and plenty of one‑on‑one attention. I share my home with two children, two dogs, and three cats, so we understand exactly how important it is to have a dependable sitter your family can trust. I follow your pet’s normal routine closely to include: feeding schedule, playtime, medications, and any other special instructions because consistency helps them feel right at home. I’ll treat your pet as if they were my own, and I’m committed to giving them a safe, loving, and comfortable stay every time. I have a flexible and accommodating schedule to for weekday and weekend boarding or drop in visits. I can be available for most last minute request and would love to take the stress out of finding someone to watch your pets. I have a fenced in yard that offers plenty of room to run and play. When not outside, your pet will be able to roam free in the downstairs of our house while being entertained and closely monitored.
About: What sets me apart is the genuine love and experience I bring to every pet I care for. I have over 12 years of pet-care experience and am a pet parent myself to three Chihuahuas, including a senior dog. Because of this, I understand the extra patience, attention, and care that senior pets can need. I’m comfortable caring for puppies, adult dogs, and senior pets, and I’m happy to accommodate each pet’s individual routine and personality. Whether your pet is energetic and playful or prefers a quiet, relaxed environment, I’ll make sure they feel safe, comfortable, and loved while you’re away. 🐾❤️ Pet care fits naturally into my daily routine because I stay home full-time. This allows me to give pets plenty of attention, companionship, playtime, and care throughout the day. I’m able to work around each pet’s normal routine, including meals, potty breaks, walks, medications, and plenty of love and cuddles. 🐾❤️ Because I’m home most of the day, your pet can have someone nearby rather than being left alone for long periods. I truly enjoy having animals around and love making them feel comfortable, safe, and at home while their families are away. I care for every pet based on their individual needs and the routine their family has established. In my home, pets are treated like family and receive plenty of attention, playtime, potty breaks, walks, meals, and lots of love. When caring for pets in their own home, I make sure to keep their normal routine as consistent as possible so they feel comfortable and secure. I’m happy to provide walks, feeding, fresh water, litter box care, playtime, cuddles, and basic medication care when needed. I understand that every pet is different, so I take the time to learn their personality, schedule, and specific needs before their family leaves. My goal is always for your pet to feel safe, loved, and well cared for while you’re away. 🐾❤️
“Tracie was wonderful. Needed last minute care and she was available. Punctual and followed our instructions. Sent a bunch of pictures. And I forgot to mention the two cats, who normally hide but she got pictures of them ❤️ will definitely use her again!”

“Aly always takes such great care of our kitties. Her visit notes are thorough and include lots of photos. One of our cats needs medication and Aly is great at handling that as well. Highly recommend!”

Whether your pet needs walks, playtime, feeding, cuddles, or simply some companionship while you’re away, I’m here to make sure they feel comfortable, happy, and well cared for. 🐾❤️ I currently work part time running my own business and I choose when I want to work, so it gives me more time with our pets and children.

I have no issue with following specific care instructions and paying attention to any changes of behavior or overall condition. On walks I prioritize safety & stay aware all while making sure your pet enjoys themselves!
“Amazing and super flexible. Goes an extra mile for you and your furry loved ones. Very polite, professional and an animal lover. I would only recommend this sitter for all your critter needs!!!”
About: Hey there. My name is Susanna. But all of my friends and family call me Joy. I have been pet sitting all of my life for friends and family. I really love it. The best part is loving on pets since I only have a cat of my own. I’m so glad you have trusted me with your fur babies! You will not be disappointed. Please all I ask of you after our visit to please leave me a review. It really helps me boost my confidence and my clients can see how well your dog was taken care of. Please let me know if I would make a good fit to watch your pets while you enjoy your next vacation! I update my schedule because I work full time also, I work Wednesday to Saturday but I can accommodate for dates when I work. I work full time but I have a flexible schedule to pet sit or drop ins. I work from Wednesday to Saturday but I’m very flexible to reasonable accommodate whatever the pet’s need in my care. Safety and care are my top priorities. I will make sure you’re pet is well loved and kept safe. You’re pet is my number one priority when they are in my care.
About: I have hands-on experience caring for a puppy, including feeding, walks, supervision, and maintaining a consistent routine. I also helped teach basic commands and tricks such as sit, stay, and high five using positive reinforcement. I’m patient, attentive, and focused on creating a safe and comfortable environment for pets. I balance school and a part-time job, but I have consistent morning availability and would love to spend that time caring for your doggie! Morning walks, feeding time, cuddles, and playtime with pups are honestly the best way to start the day. I’m reliable, organized, and always make sure each pup gets the attention they deserve. Your pup’s safety and comfort are my top priorities! I carefully follow all dog parent instructions down to the smallest detail from feeding schedules to walk routes to any special needs. I respect your home, keep a clean environment, and always make sure your doggie feels safe, supervised, and loved.
About: Hi! I’ve been caring for animals for over six years, with a lifelong love for pets that started growing up in a home full of rescues and adoptions. That experience helped me become patient, attentive, and comfortable with all kinds of personalities and needs. I work from home full-time, which means your pet will get plenty of attention, supervision, and companionship throughout the day. Whether your pet is energetic, shy, or needs a little extra care, I do my best to make them feel safe, comfortable, and at home. I don’t currently have pets of my own, so I truly enjoy giving my full attention to the pets I care for, it’s something I genuinely look forward to! Occasionally, I may step out for a few hours due to military training, but this is rare and I always plan ahead to ensure your pet’s needs are fully met. Thank you for considering me! I’d love to be a trusted sitter for your furry companion ❤️ I work from home full time so I fit pet care into my schedule before work, during breaks and after work. Feeding is based off of the pet’s eating schedule. Your pet’s safety, comfort, and happiness are my top priorities. I provide one-on-one care only, which means your pet will never be booked alongside other animals. Pets are welcome to roam freely and get comfortable in my home, helping them adjust naturally to their surroundings. They’re welcome to relax on the couch and sleep in the same room as me (though I do keep the bed pet-free). I make it a point to keep pets engaged and happy with regular playtime, affection, and a consistent routine. During downtime, I even leave on pet-friendly TV (like animal channels) to create a soothing and familiar atmosphere.
“DeHaven and Ashlee were wonderful with my 3 cats, they were patient and made them feel at ease. I can't reccomend them enough! I usually can't enjoy my vacation because I am so anxious about my pets, but I was able to relax knowing they are in good hands.”

Pet parents share their Rover experiences - South Suffolk
My wife is a dog trainer and Rover sitter herself, so she was especially particular about finding someone we could trust with our dogs, as this was our first time leaving them in someone else’s care. We declined seven different sitters before finding Christian, and we couldn’t be happier with our decision! Christian was incredibly attentive and thorough from the very beginning, taking notes during our meet and greet to make sure he understood all of our dogs’ needs. Throughout the weekend, he provided drop-in visits for our two dogs and sent plenty of photos and updates, which gave us so much peace of mind. He even went above and beyond by hand feeding one of our dogs when she wouldn’t eat. It’s clear that Christian genuinely cares about the animals he looks after and takes his responsibilities seriously. We couldn’t have asked for a better first experience and would absolutely recommend him to anyone looking for a trustworthy, detail oriented, and dependable sitter!
Taylor was a great friend to my fur baby Misty! She came every day and was reliable, communicative and soooo loving to my girl. I could tell from the updates and photos Taylor sent that Misty was enjoying her time with Taylor and Taylor enjoyed her time with my kitty too! I asked her to take care of a few special things to prepare for the extra stress of the Fourth of July and she did them as requested. She also brought in packages we received in our absence. She is a kind and caring young woman and I highly recommend! Thank you Taylor!
Lex was so kind and considerate with Mickey. Mickey very clearly liked her a LOT and he was not nearly as clingy as usual when I got home which indicated to me that she must have spent quality time with him. She brought in all the mail, refilled the water fountains, opened and closed blinds, cleaned the litter box as well. Lex is a Saint!

Frequently asked questions about Rover
The average cost of Pet Sitting in South Suffolk is $14 per visit as of November 2026. Most bookings cost between $11 and $22 per visit. On Rover, 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 long as your booking dates and pet profiles are accurate, the price shown before you confirm is the total, including any booking fee.
As of November 2026, there are 2,300 sitters on Rover offering Pet Sitting across South Suffolk. 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 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.
Yes, you can find sitters who have experience with handling special pet needs in South Suffolk. On Rover:
- 89% of sitters can help with special care needs
- 94% 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.
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 Meet & Greet.
sitters on Rover set their own cancellation policy, 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.
