“I had Jenny watch my three very active pups over the weekend.. she was timely on all visits, reliable not only in giving them their exercise but medication as well. I was at peace and could enjoy my time knowing I had her caring for my pups and my home. We stayed in touch the whole time. I would use her again in a heartbeat! She gave my fur babies love and my home was in good hands.”

About: I’ve owned and cared for dogs for over 20 years and have spent about 10 years caring for other people’s pets. I’m currently completing training to become a professional dog trainer, and I enjoy helping dogs build confidence, improve their manners, and have a great time! I’m comfortable with dogs of different ages, sizes, and personalities including puppies and senior dogs. I understand that every dog is different and I take the time to learn their routine, personality, and individual needs. Whether your dog needs a relaxing walk, some exercise and play, or basic training reinforcement during their visit, I’ll treat them with the same care and attention I’d want for my own dogs! I’m a lifelong dog owner and dog enthusiast who genuinely enjoys spending time with dogs. I have a flexible schedule and am able to dedicate time and attention to the pets in my care. I’m dependable, patient, and attentive to body language and behavior. My goal isn’t just to get through a walk or visit, I want your dog to come home happy, comfortable, and well cared for. I’m also currently training to become a professional dog trainer, so I’m happy to reinforce basic manners and obedience during walks and visits when requested. When I arrive, I give pets a moment to settle in and become comfortable before greeting them. Once they are calm, I greet them and prepare them for their walk. Before meals, I encourage good manners by asking for a sit and stay when appropriate, or simply waiting for them to settle before placing their food down. I follow each pet’s individual routine and instructions to help them feel comfortable, safe, and well cared for.

“So happy to have found Leanne! We needed a last minute booking for several visits a day for a few days. She was so reliable and took great care of Emma. She even saved a few of our large plants on deck because of high wind. We will surely booking with Leanne again!”

About: I’ve always loved animals and enjoy making sure every pet feels safe, comfortable, and cared for while their family is away. I have experience with dog walking, drop-in visits, feeding, playtime, litter box care, potty breaks, and spending quality time with pets. I understand that every animal has a different personality and routine. I’m comfortable caring for energetic pets as well as pets who are shy, anxious, older, or simply need some extra patience. I carefully follow each owner’s instructions and provide photos and updates throughout the visit so you can feel comfortable knowing your pet is in good hands. I’m dependable, communicative, and happy to arrange a meet & greet before a first booking. Pet care fits well into my routine, and I make sure I only accept bookings that I can give the proper time and attention to. My availability can vary throughout the week, so I communicate with pet parents ahead of time to make sure our schedules work together. I’m available for walks, drop-ins, daycare, and boarding, with more flexibility on certain days and weekends. Your pet’s safety and comfort will always be my priority. Whether I’m caring for your pet in my home or yours, I carefully follow all instructions regarding feeding, walks, potty breaks, medications, routines, and any special needs. I understand that being away from their owner or in a new environment can be stressful for some animals, so I’m patient and allow them time to get comfortable with me. I keep pets supervised, provide a clean and comfortable environment, and will always communicate with you if I notice anything unusual. I’m also happy to do a meet & greet beforehand so both you and your pet feel comfortable!

“This was our first time using a pet sitter, other than family, and we are extremely pleased with the experience. Cassie went above and beyond, taking care of our cats and home while we were away. Even our very shy cat, who takes days to come out while visitors are here, was out within a day and looking forward to her visits. Regular updates, photos, and personable accounts of the visits all added up to easing our minds about how the cats were doing, and we can't thank Cassie enough for her care of 2 of our furry family members! Highly recommend and will be calling Cassie for sure next time we need someone to watch the cats.”

About: I’ve always had pets growing up. Dogs, cats, gerbils. Used to take care of the wild animals outside like raccoons, possums, and skunks. I rode horses and cared for all sorts of farm animals. I’m constantly walking my dog. We both love being outside and he loves the exercise. I play with the cat, when she isn’t sleeping. I have all day at home, so more than plenty of time for animals. At my house, my dog is trained to stay without a leash. If we go on a walk, he is always leashed. Also have a fence and a stake line. Inside we have plenty of toys and treats

About: I’ve taken care of dogs my whole life! I have watched my neighbors dog. I am always dog sitting my boyfriend’s Golden Retriever! I love teaching dogs new tricks and getting them as much activity and attention as needed! I’m currently only working weekends. Days vary as there other employees. I can make my own schedule for work most of the time if I were to have a schedule stay with your pup. I unfortunately had to put my dog to rest recently but he was so very loved for 12 years. Constantly getting walks and running around in the backyard, and MANY tummy rubs and kisses. As this time, I would not provide dog sitting in my own home, as for my parents are re doing the hardwood flooring due to the claw scratches. I treat all other dogs as if they were my own and would be more then happy to come to your house and give your dog love and attention!

About: Neighbors and friends have always relied on me to watch their pets. Will go above and beyond to make sure your pet is taken care of and that you feel satisfied/comfortable. Like any normal pet owner you want to hear how your pet is doing and if everything’s going okay. I will be sure to send updates. I will make sure everything goes smoothly and no issues come up.

Just let me know dates and times and we can try to make it work; if not, I’ll let you know. I do not have a fenced in yard at my place so I wouldn’t leave them outside alone. Going to a clients home I will access situation and go from there; if they need food, water, play, or walk.

About: I am very good with dogs, because I pay attention to their body language. Dogs communicate through their eyes, body and barks. Similar to a person using sign language. Most communication is non-verbal and I definitely pay attention and make sure I treat every furry friend with respect and love. Dogs have feelings and like to socialize in healthy environments and that is what they will get with me as your dog sitter and / or dog walker. I will take your dog walking, I will check-in on your dog and play ball or tug of war with them, if that is what they like to do, I will provide water refills and food refills, even mix food upon request and follow instructions specific to your dog's need. I like to take dogs to the park, go jogging with dogs, belly rubs, hugs and playful affection. I like making dogs feel important, so they know they matter. This way, they feel happy and fulfilled while you are working or away on vacation, or away for that day or moment running errands. I am currently an entrepreneur. Trying to start my own pet business. Served, previously in the United States Air Force. Used to have an emotional support dog for 14 years who is no longer with us due to old age and health problems. That was my peace and joy who helped me through difficult times in my life. I actually feel happy spending time with dogs. Running with dogs, playing ball with dogs, training dogs, walking dogs, dog sitting and playing, cuddles and hugs! I make dogs feel important because they are our fur babies who deserve the best life can give them! I will give your dog fresh water, food, medication; if necessary, pay attention to their body language to figure out what they need from me to feel more comfortable and supported. If you have instructions or a routine I will follow those set of guidelines. I will keep all owners well informed with updated photos and possible videos on how their fur babies are doing! If they need a bathing that is extra, but I will clean your dog thoroughly after playtime. If, you want me to take your dog to the park, I love doing walks and runs in the park with your fur baby! Get all the extra energy out, so when you come home they are well satisfied and content. I have a house and a yard. Yard is not fully fenced in yet, but currently working towards fixing it or getting a new fence. My house is dog proof to keep all fur babies safe and happy, but there are always other options available to keep your dog as comfortable as possible. Depending on the service you hire me for pertaining to your pet.

FAQs for Pet Sitting - Wading River

Frequently asked questions about Rover

Rover is the largest marketplace for local pet care. Whether you're looking for pet sitters, dog walkers, or house sitters who specialize in pet sitting, you can narrow your search by entering your ZIP code to find sitters within walking distance in your neighborhood.

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 administering medication or managing dietary requirements. You can also find pet sitters who accept only one pet at a time, which is ideal for anxious puppies 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 request a 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.
