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.
“Christian did a great job with our cat drop-in visit. He was on time, made sure their water was topped off, spent time playing with them, and sent plenty of pictures and updates while we were away. It was obvious he genuinely cared about making sure they were comfortable and cared for. We’d definitely book with him again and highly recommend him to anyone looking for a reliable sitter.”
“Rebeccah has been absolutely amazing with our dogs, Justice and Coco! From the moment we met her, we knew they were in great hands. She is attentive, reliable, and truly cares about the well-being of our pups. Justice and Coco are always happy, well cared for, and relaxed when we return, which says everything about the love and attention Rebeccah gives them. She keeps us updated, follows all instructions, and goes above and beyond to make sure they are comfortable and safe. It gives us so much peace of mind knowing we have someone we can trust completely with our dogs. We highly recommend Rebeccah to anyone looking for a dependable and caring dog sitter!”
“Stacey was awesome. My dogs normally bark at every person that comes to our front dog, but when she came to our house to meet us, my dogs did not bark at all! I think my dogs could tell that she is definitely a dog person. She has a very calm demeanor and a soft voice. I never felt so confident while I was away that my puppies were being well taken care off. I will definitely use her again!”
About: My first two pets were 2 doggies at 9 months old. I had them for 17 years until they left for doggy heaven October 2024 and February 2025… I am not ready to fully commit again quite yet so decided babysitting and loving on others’ furbabies will help the healing. Work from home all week. Will be able to take care of them in home and overnight if needed! I will accomodate to all requests and needs. Will appreciate details such as age, allergies, health, likes and dislikes. Will treat your baby/babies like they are my own. Will walk them as I have a dog friendly neighborhood as well as a newly built dog park. The backyard is also fenced.
About: I have had a love of animals since I was a small child. I grew up in a household with dogs, and I have been caring for them for over 10 years. I have experience caring for dogs of all sizes and breeds, both large and small, so you can be confident that your dog will be in good hands. Contact me today to schedule a dog walking session or drop in visit; you will be able to relax knowing that your dog is getting the care and exercise it needs while you are away. My schedule is flexible, with openings mainly in the mornings and afternoons during the week and weekend. Contact me for specific times and availabilities, as my schedule may change. I will ensure that your pet is secured on a leash for a walk, stays out of the roadway as much as possible, and will avoid other dogs when necessary.
About: I’ve had animals all of my life, and I currently have a dog and a cat now. Also, I’ve taken care of dogs/cats since I was old enough to do so! Whether it was as a job or for a friend, I bathed, fed, and cared for them like they were my own! I currently only work a couple hours a day so I am usually available after 10 A.M. Other than those few hours, I am home every day! I live right in front of a big park as well as an actual dog park so your dog will have plenty of space to play! I myself have a dog and a cat who are very playful and get along with anyone and everyone. My dog would love to keep your dog company, as he thinks that play time is anytime! I can also crate your dog if needed!
About: I have loads of experience working with dogs and cats! I have all the patience for more timid animals, and special needs pets. I even have experience sitting with exotic and farm animals. I am a full time university student, so my schedule is incredibly flexible! I’ll have no issue spending time with your furry friend while they write a paper alongside me! I love to bring treats with me to ensure a positive interaction each time! When animals are shy or even a little vocal, I have the time to be patient so if special care is needed, your friend will be comfortable with me.
“This was our first time booking with anyone, and it was just a drop in visit for a few hours while we were on a day trip, but it was just perfect. Kelsey let me know when he had arrived and sent me lots of pics (which I loved) and kept me updated on how it was going. We had good communication back and forth and it was a great peace of mind for me to know the dogs were all good. They had a great break with Kelsey and lots of time to be outside if they wanted, or to cuddle with Kelsey as one of them did a great deal, and just overall a nice social break in their day.”

“Amazing pet sitter! My boyfriend and me had just moved to the area and did not know anyone who could watch out cat. Thankfully, we found Alyssa! She took such great care of our cat while keeping us posted with updates, which eased our worries while away. After her visit, she surprised us with housewarming gifts for us and treats/toys for our cat. We could not be more grateful and will stick with her in the future!! 🐈❣️🩷”

“Ashley was great with my four kitties. She even managed to get one of the shy ones to join in the fun. She took great care and spent a lot of time playing with my two high energy cats (which spared my furniture). Would definitely book again.”

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!
Christian did a great job with our cat drop-in visit. He was on time, made sure their water was topped off, spent time playing with them, and sent plenty of pictures and updates while we were away. It was obvious he genuinely cared about making sure they were comfortable and cared for. We’d definitely book with him again and highly recommend him to anyone looking for a reliable sitter.

Frequently asked questions about Rover
The average cost of Pet Sitting in Suffolk is $20 per visit as of October 2026. Most bookings cost between $12 and $37 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 October 2026, there are 2,371 sitters on Rover offering Pet Sitting across 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 .
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.
Yes, you can find sitters who have experience with handling special pet needs in 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 .
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.
