About: HIGHLY EXPERIENCED WITH DOGS THAT HAVE BEHAVIORAL ISSUES!! Schedule is a bit tight with clients, but i’ll always try to make room :) I have grown up with, and helped care for, dogs my whole life. For the past 3 years I have been training my dog, currently with assistance from a trainer. He was fearful-reactive and is now an amazing service dog in training. I have been a volunteer at the world’s largest no-kill shelter for 3 years now. I have handled dogs of all ages, sizes, breeds, and temperaments. I have worked with blind and senior dogs. I have run puppy play groups, as well as puppy mill, senior, and teen play groups. some behavioral challenges in dogs that I have worked with include: fearful; reactive; food and/or object possessive; stranger danger; separation anxiety; dog vs dog aggression; strong leadership; mouthy; and more i’m sure i’m forgetting. I have taken several extensive dog training classes to improve my skill and knowledge. I was the first 16 year old to reach one of the most advanced dog levels. I am very well-versed in understanding dog body language. I have dealt with sick dogs as well as dogs with skin conditions. I have helped get the neighbors dog to eat, as well as go potty and play, and dog walked for several clients. I also have experience with cats from the shelter as i have taken advanced feline behavior classes. I am able to understand cat body language fairly well. I have worked with cats as well as kittens, and cat sat several times. I can care for, and clean up after, dogs and/or cats. I will always respect your pets boundaries. I am currently an undergrad studying animal psychology and medicine! I will genuinely treat your fur babies as my own. My dedication and passion truly is to ALL animals. 🩷 I regularly update my calendar to show my availability, though i’m pretty flexible. Make sure to check there! Can’t wait to hear from you :) I will make sure your pet has fresh food and water, as well as making sure there is nothing clearly dangerous left out that the pet could hurt themselves with or eat. I will ensure everything is as it was when I came, as well as closing and locking any doors I used. I will dispose of animal waste as instructed. On walks I have a steady balance and strong leash hold to ensure the dog stays with me. I may carry treats with me for minor training/intervention (if allowed and if the dog pulls or something like that). If your dog is scared of certain things or creatures I will take precautions to avoid anything triggering to the dog. Lastly, I will certainly make sure the pet(s) feel loved, happy, and relaxed.
About: Hi, I’m Gianna! I'm a passionate second year vet student with hands-on experience in emergency vet med and general practice. I’ve worked in vet clinics and have two amazing rescue dogs of my own! I’m here to provide loving, knowledgeable, and reliable care for your furry friends. Currently I am in school Monday-Friday so my schedule is day-dependent; however, I am more than happy to work with you to go over dates/times you are looking for services to best accommodate you and your pet(s)! Your pet’s safety and comfort are my top priorities! With my experience in both emergency and general veterinary settings, I take every precaution to ensure your pet is safe, happy, and stress-free. I’ll care for them as if they were my own, offering plenty of love, attention, and patience while following the same safety measures used by vet staff. Whether it’s administering medications, monitoring their well-being, or simply making sure they feel comfortable in their own home, you can trust that your pet is in experienced, caring hands.
About: I am passionate about having happy pets and Pet Parents. I would treat each dog as if they were my own. My two fur babies include two ShihZu/terrior mixes Rugby and Veuve. Having my own dogs helps me understand on a personal level the type of care each pet parent would want for their family member. In my experience I have dog sat for a puppy Doodle for a family friend named Allison , an older Doodle named Bryland owned by my friend Ryan also for a puppy named Molly who needed supervision after a medical procedure . All would attest that their dogs were very well taken care of.I also have experience with walking dogs at a local animal shelter Save A Pet. I also helped care for cats there as well.
“Samantha was great! We had an unique petcare request and she was exceptionally accommodating. She sent us updates and photos and our little guy was well taken care of. We highly recommend her to other Rover-subs.”

I’ll treat your dog with the same care and affection I give my own, while making sure every walk and sit is safe, fun, and stress-free! 🐾 if you are happy with my services, tips are greatly appreciated. I work part time in Huntington. I work Tuesday through Friday in office and Thursday’s remote, 10-4 Weekends are free, and Mondays I am off. I am very personable with animals and their parents.

About: I have grown up around both dogs and cats-our family pets included Rottweilers, German Shepards, and smaller mixed dogs as well. We had both cats and dogs that I took care of. I worked at the humane society for four years caring for and socializing pets there. I currently have two dogs (one with anxiety issues) and two cats. I have pet sat for friends and families, including puppies. I currently work remote so my schedule during the week is flexible. I am happy to spend time with pets and don’t mind long walks out in the cold. I can stay with your pet when needed and will care for them as specified. I can be flexible on timing and care needs for your pets.
About: Hiya! I’m Bea, a college student with years of hands on experience caring for both dogs and cats. While I don’t currently have pets of my own, I’ve spent most of my life helping care for the pets of friends and neighbors. Animals have always been a huge part of my life, and I’m usually the person everyone asks to watch their pets when they’re away! What sets me apart is the amount of care and attention I give every animal. I take the time to learn each pet’s personality, routine, and comfort level so they feel safe and happy while you’re away. Whether your pet is energetic and playful or shy and cautious, I’m patient and let them adjust at their own pace. I’m experienced with: - Puppies and kittens - Senior dogs and cats - Large and small dog breeds - Multi pet households - Administering medications (including pills and eye drops) - Feeding, walking, bathing, brushing, cleaning litter boxes and/or pee pads, and playtime - Basic training, including recall and simple commands One of the puppies I currently care for has been with me since she was about 2-3 months old. We’ve worked on recall and basic tricks together, and I love helping young dogs build confidence while making learning fun. During teething, I noticed she had stopped eating her dry food, so after discussing it with her owner, I recommended switching to a softer option and monitored her closely afterward to make sure she adjusted well. I also have experience with senior cats, including caring for an 18 year old cat with vision and mobility changes. I understand that every stage of life comes with different needs, and I’m happy to adapt my care accordingly. When we’re out on walks, I always bring waste bags and water, and I make safety my top priority. At home, I enjoy keeping pets engaged with play, enrichment, cuddles (if they want them!), and plenty of attention. I’m also more than happy to send frequent photo and video updates, because I know how comforting it is to see your pet happy while you’re away. I’m a bit of a neat freak, so you’ll never have to worry about coming home to a mess. I’m happy to clean up after pets and even help with little household tasks like bringing in mail or watering plants if needed. My goal is simple: I want every pet to feel loved, safe, and cared for as if they were my own. I know how much trust it takes to leave your furry family member with someone else, and I take that responsibility very seriously. I can’t wait to meet you and your best friend! As a college student taking one class each weekday morning during the summer, I have a very flexible schedule and plenty of time to dedicate to your pet. Outside of class, I’m available for walks, drop in visits, daycare, and house sitting. I believe every pet deserves individual attention, so I make sure they get plenty of exercise, playtime, affection, and mental enrichment while you’re away. Your pet’s safety and comfort will always be my top priority. I like to spend the first little while getting to know your pet’s personality and comfort level so I can adjust my care to their individual needs. Every animal is different, and I believe they deserve care that’s personalized rather than having a “one size fits all” ideology. I also take the time to learn each pet’s routine and any special instructions before providing care. During walks, I always bring waste bags and water, pay close attention to my surroundings, and make sure your pet is secure at all times. In your home, I’ll respect your space, keep everything clean, and follow your care instructions closely. I’ll also send regular photo and video updates so you can feel confident knowing your pet is happy and safe.
“Katie was absolutely great!! She sent updates, asked questions, and took such great care of our two dogs and home! Upon meeting for the first time, both boys instantly took a liking to her which put our minds at ease. Would highly recommend booking with Katie and we will definitely be rebooking in the future :)!”
About: I have taken care of dogs and cats of all kinds for 10+ years! I have experience with both seniors and special needs pets. I worked full time as a pet groomer and I am a currently Pre-vet medicine student who loves all animals! Pet care is my full-time job which allows me to maintain a flexible schedule and prioritize my clients needs. I am available throughout the day for walks, drop-in visits, and pet sitting. I have over 10 years of experience caring for both dogs and cats, and I always prioritize safety, trust and a calm, comfortable environment. I follow each pet’s routine closely to keep them happy and stress free, whether that means walks and playtime for dogs or gentle attention and quiet care for cats. I make sure food, water, and litter or potty needs are always clean and consistent. I will pay close attention to behavior changes. I treat every pet like my own and respect your home, while keeping you updated so you can feel confident your pet is in safe and reliable hands!
“Nastasia was so loving to our two puppies and kept in contact with us consistently while we were gone. She also sent us tons of photos. We will definitely be booking with her again in the future.”
About: I love all animals and treasure every opportunity I get to care for them. I am very dependable and hold their needs highly dedicating my self to keeping pets happy and secure. I am mostly open to walking and sitting pets in the early morning, afternoon and evenings during the weekdays. I'm also flexible on the weekends for onboarding and overnights. I am always on call so the owner feels secure. I make sure that pets have the right space for their needs and feel comfortable. Lastly, I make sure to always have the pets under my watch and that they are just as happy and healthy as they came if not more.
“Brigette has been a dog sitter we have been able to rely on continuously while we are at work. We are in the process of training our 8 month old puppy whom is potty training, crate training and is slowly learning to get past his anxiety of being home alone. She has proven to be patient and attentive to Ziggy’s needs as well as in constant communication with Ziggy updates and any questions she may have. We have rebooked her multiple times thus far and plan to continue rebooking her!”

As of October 2026, there are 18,542 sitters on Rover offering House Sitting across Upper Brookville. 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 Upper Brookville 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 Upper Brookville 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 Upper Brookville 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 , 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 .
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 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.
