About: Hi! I’m Trinity, a teacher, and lifelong animal lover. Caring for animals has always been a meaningful part of my life, and providing a safe, calm, and loving home environment for your pet is my top priority. As an educator, I bring the same level of patience and attentiveness into pet care. I understand how important trust and communication are, especially when you’re leaving your pet in a new person’s care. My goal is for every pet to feel comfortable, well loved, and right at home so you won’t have to worry! 📅 Standard Business Hours for Dropoff/Pickup • Weekdays (Mon–Fri): 6:30pm-7:30pm • Weekends (Sat–Sun): 10:00am–7:30pm Anything earlier or later than these windows will incur an additional $20 convenience fee. If I ever need to step out briefly, there is always a trusted family member at home. My family is also actively involved in pet care and has experience helping care for visiting pets, ensuring consistent supervision at all times. In addition to caring for dogs and cats, I care for rabbits! If you’re unsure about a specific type of animal, feel free to ask me. I provide frequent photo and video updates so you can feel completely at ease while you’re away. I share my home with my own dogs and two cats! I also have a spacious, fully fenced secure backyard with plenty of room for play and zoomies. Whether your pet enjoys active playtime or relaxation time, they have it all here!

About: Raised a feisty Wheaten Terrier from a pup. Former owner of a chihuahua, poodle and German Shepherd. I’ve been walking dogs the last 5 years, currently walking 2 mid-day Monday-Thursday. I’m currently retired and I have plenty of availability. I volunteer delivering food on Tuesday mornings, but could still fit in walks or drop ins. I’m reliable and will work with your schedule. I have a fenced in yard and a friendly Wheaten Terrier. We live in a quiet low traffic area which is safe for taking walks.

About: I’ve loved and cared for dogs for 15+ years. I’m the person who stops mid-conversation because a dog walked by. I have a senior chihuahua named Mia! I am reliable, attentive, and fully prepared to become your dog’s second favorite person. I work from home and have a very flexible schedule, so your pet won’t be squeezed into my day — they’ll basically become part of it. Walks, playtime and random conversations included. I’ll follow your pet’s routine, rules and preferences exactly — because you know them best. I’m attentive, patient and big on making sure they feel safe, comfortable and loved while you’re away.

About: I enjoy cats and dogs as I have had my own, currently pet sit for my roommates cats while she’s on vacation. Cuddle puddles are my favorite pastime Evenings and weekends are preferred, can be flexible. I can do drop ins anytime past 6pm on the weekdays and anytime on the weekends. Emergency calls can also be arranged. I care for pets by slowly introducing myself, first by smell then when comfortable, by touch. I give treats when warranted, but ensure no over feeding/snacking. Lastly I cuddle with pets who are most comfortable.

About: For the past several years, I have dedicated my life to professionally caring for animals of all kinds, including managing two pet care companies on Long Island and caring for the animals at the Long Island Science Museum. At our location, we offer luxury cage-free boarding, in a room that was built specifically for the enjoyment and safety of dogs. The dogs have a large living space, a turfed dog run and a giant outdoor dog house! We can guarantee it will be a one-of-a-kind experience for your dog! Daycare/Boarding Requirements: 1) Copy of Vaccination Certificate before dog can be allowed on premises *Required Vaccines: Rabies, DHPP & Bordetella* Recommended: Leptospirosis & Canine Influenza 2) Copy of last vet visit prior to the date of drop off 3) Must be spayed/neutered 4) Must have a history of no aggression towards humans or other animals 5) Must be able to be in an environment with other dogs 6) Must have a collar and a legible name tag 7) If your dog pees on pee pads, pads must be provided by you 8) Provide clearly labeled food with own cup/scoop indicating amount per meal 9) Anything brought (toys, bed, blankets, etc.) has a chance of being damaged by other dogs. Only bring items that you would not mind the possibility of them being damaged or destroyed 10) Must tell us of any dietary restrictions, as we frequently give dogs treats during their stay Pet care is my entire life. I do this full time, so I can ensure that I will be able to spend a ton of time with your animals. When caring for pets in your home or my own, I can ensure a safe environment and constant communication. I treat all animals like they are my own.

“Ariana was an absolute gem of a cat sitter! From the moment we connected, she was attentive, responsive, and incredibly kind to our cats. It’s clear she has experience with animals—she understood their needs, respected their routines, and gave them genuine affection and care. When our travel plans unexpectedly changed, Ariana didn’t hesitate to step in and extend her time with them. Her flexibility and reliability gave us real peace of mind. We came home to two happy, relaxed cats and couldn’t be more grateful. Highly recommend Ariana to anyone looking for someone who truly loves and understands animals!”

I’m reliable, gentle, and always make sure your pets feel secure and loved while you’re gone. I'm currently working remotely from home so I have plenty of time to dedicate myself to any pets schedule or routine. I have reliable transport and I am available all throughout the day and night for updates, schedule changes and even just to send pictures when requested so you know your pet is in the best hands and comfortable. I have a fenced in yard and reliable big transport. I am dedicated to commiting to whatever routine or schedule any pet is in need of while their pet parents are away.

About: I’ve had dogs my whole life and have experience caring for both puppies and senior dogs. I’ve done dog sitting and dog walking for different breeds and personalities, and I’m comfortable keeping up with routines, giving extra patience and care when needed, and making sure pets feel safe and comfortable while their owners are away. I’m a teacher, so I have more flexibility in the summer when I’m off. I’m very active and enjoy staying busy by being outdoors—going for walks, spending time at the beach, and staying on the move. Pet care fits naturally into my routine because I genuinely love animals, and spending time with them is something I enjoy as a hobby. I care for pets by making sure they feel safe, comfortable, and well looked after while sticking closely to their normal routine. In a client’s home, I follow all instructions carefully, including feeding schedules, walks, playtime, and any special care needs. I make sure pets get plenty of attention, exercise, and affection while also respecting their space and the home. My goal is always to keep pets happy and stress-free while their owners are away.

FAQs for Pet Sitting - West Babylon

Frequently asked questions about Rover

The average cost of Pet Sitting in West Babylon is $26 per visit as of November 2026. Most bookings cost between $17 and $34 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 24,088 sitters on Rover offering Pet Sitting across West Babylon. 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 West Babylon. On Rover:

  • 83% of sitters can help with special care needs
  • 87% can help with giving oral medications or injections
  • 94% 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.
