“Kelly is hands down the best pet sitter in the area. She goes above and beyond for the pets, & her pics are the best! I can tell my boys (a Corgi who's very vocal, and a Hound Dog) love her very much and they don't even pout when we return from a trip anymore!”
“Robbyn is a wonderful pet sitter. You can count on her to be there and take good care of your pet. Robbyn has watched my great pyreneese a couple of times now and I have been very happy with her services.”
“We couldn’t have asked for a better sitter! Ashley took amazing care of our dogs and our home while we were away. She kept us updated throughout the stay with great communication and of photos, which gave us so much peace of mind. The best part was coming home to happy, relaxed dogs, it was obvious they had been so well cared for that they hardly seemed to miss us! We truly appreciated the love and attention she gave each of them, as well as the care she took with our home. We are so grateful for everything she did and will absolutely be requesting her again for our future pet care needs. Highly recommend!”
“This was our first time using a home/pet sitting service. Angie exceeded all expectations of comfort and piece of mind to humans and pets alike. We feel fortunate and blessed to have found someone that feels more like an extended, trusted family with the pets and home. ❤️🐕🐾🏠❤️ The pack decided she could be part of the cool kids club.🤷♂️”
“Jazmin was a lifesaver with helping watch my dog pretty last minute! She was communicative and reliable and sent lots of pics. She followed instructions carefully and was very caring with my pup who is recovering post knee surgery. Would happily have Jazmin help with watching Kyubi again, thank you!”
“Tracie is great with my 3 babies! She always shows up on time I always feel safe knowing she is watching over my babies. I would definitely recommend her for any pet sitting needs!”
About: I’ve had many dogs in my life. I honestly couldn’t see myself being without any type of animal. Family and friends call on me when they need any assistance and advice when it comes to animals. My experiences range from dog and cat sitting, potty breaks, feeding reptiles, changing enclosures and bedding, to even helping with puppy birth! I’m working a part-time job that keeps me occupied four days out of the week. Wednesdays, Fridays, and Saturdays are my available days, so I can pretty much do all the pet sitting needed for those three days. If needed; on Sunday, Monday, Tuesday, and Thursday’s; if a pet sitter is needed between the hours of 5:00a - 11:30a, then i am more than happy to provide any help with keeping your fur babies company! I have two puppies of my own that are very well trained. However, I do live off of a highway. With this being said, I do feel more comfortable with providing petting services at the clients home or a local dog park with permission.
“Erin is amazing!!! Super sweet, personable and communicative. Our animals love her. We will definitely be seeking her for future sittings & recommending her whenever we can.”
“If you're looking for someone who will take care of your animals and your home, Ashlee and Dehaven are the ones for you! After our initial meeting we felt extremely comfortable leaving them in charge. The animals were happy and the house was clean on our return. They both have excellent communication skills and are a pleasure to work with. I can't thank them enough for taking such excellent care of everything! I'm looking forward to our next vacation. These two are the best!!!”
“Nikolaas was an amazing dog sitter to our two pups. Our boys can get anxious without us, but they loved him. He was super communicative, sent lots of updates and pictures, and I felt much more at ease leaving home. We will definitely book him in the future.”
“Felicia was amazing! We came home to happy dogs and a clean home. Thank you for everything. We’ll be in touch for another upcoming trip we’ll need your services for!”
“Anna was great with our two beagles! They adored her and got lots of cuddles. Anna was very diligent in asking any questions to ensure she was giving them the best care and sending a lot of pictures.”
“Abbie was the best. We absolutely would book with her again. She took great care of our dog and our home. She was very communicative about what was going on and gave thorough updates. It’s easy to tell how much she cares for animals. Your pet will be well taken care of with Abbie.”
“Absolutely great pet sitter. Very good with my Great Dane. Gave multiple updates on my dog. Very trustworthy and reliable. Great communication throughout her stay. Left my home in great condition. Overall no complaints and would recommend her to anyone. Would definitely use again!”
About: I have fostered dogs and cats for the past 4 years in CA and I moved here to VA due to change of job. I love animals and I plan on getting my own once I do a little more research until I find the perfect friend! I work 15 minutes away from my home and can come home during lunch for a potty break. I don’t go out much and love going on walks and playing with animals! I have a fenced in back yard that is on a double plot of land so there is plenty of room to run and play.
“Kelsey was extremely professional and friendly. He took great care of our Raven, was very communicative and spent a lot of time with our pup. I didn't message him until a couple days before our trip and he still made the time for a meet and greet and was on time for both that and our actual appointment. He sent great pictures of our girl every day and she was smiling in every one of them. We will definitely look to book him again next time we travel.”
“Kari is amazing with our two pets! She was kind enough to care for them at a last minute request! She truly picked up quickly on all their quirks and personality traits and caters to them beautifully. We’re so lucky to have her care for our pets! She also captures their personalities in her great pictures!!”
“Kim has been amazing throughout my time away from my dogs. Kept them on their schedule, made adjustments when my travel plans unfortunately got changed. I will definitely be rebooking with her in the future.”
About: I have taken care of a variety of different pets with different conditions since I was a kid. I know how to administer oral medications daily and have knowledge of mobility issues as well. I have a lot of knowledge of birds as well due to me having parakeets and a conure. I would love to be considered for help of almost any animal you have! Just ask me questions and I will answer. Thank you :) I always have mondays off, but my schedule for the week is posted on that day. Due to this i need at least a weeks worth of notice for anything if i need to communicate scheduling. Thank you Learning the needs/likes of the animal to interact better and make sure they are comfortable while their trusted companion's are away. If there is a special way your pet needs to do anything, then I am more than happy to learn.

FAQs for House Sitting - Suffolk
Frequently asked questions about Rover
The average cost for House Sitting in Suffolk on Rover is $64.38 per night (as of September 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 September 2026, there are 1,320 sitters on Rover offering House Sitting across Suffolk. 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 Suffolk 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 Suffolk 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 Suffolk 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.
Yes, you can find sitters who have experience with handling special pet needs in Suffolk. On Rover:
- 95% of sitters can help with special care needs
- 99% can help with giving oral medications or injections
- 98% 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.
