“Absolutely incredible. I needed a sitter for my pup last minute and Jess went out of her way above and beyond to squeeze in a meet and greet as well as watching my furbaby. Super sweet, punctual, great communication and absolutely love and care for my furbaby. Highly recommend and would definitely rebook with when needed.”
“This was our first time using Rover for our beloved girl Maude so we didn’t know what to expect. From the very first message with Amy she made us feel at ease! Maude has a complex skin routine and eating habits and Amy followed them all beyond expectations. Amy provided updates and pictures letting us know how the weekend was going. We are so grateful for Amy’s love and care of our Maude while we were away. She is truly the best!”
About: I’ve been around animals my entire life and have always had a special love for them. As a mailman, I’m around different pets every day and have grown comfortable around all kinds of animals. I’m patient, caring, and reliable, and I’ll treat your pets like my own. I love making animals feel safe, happy, and loved, and I look forward to giving your pets the attention and care they deserve! I work around my full time job to provide love and care for all of my clients. When I’m not working I’m very active so I love taking clients for park adventures or long walks I live in a house with a fenced front and back yard. I make sure to know the small details that will make your pet feel right at home when in my care.
“Lauren house-sat for us, and cared for my two dogs like they were her own. They warmed up to her immediately, she stuck to the schedule and instructions that I provided, and was communicative with updates and pictures. We would absolutely hire her again.”
“My furbaby gets very nervous when she is left somewhere without me so I needed someone to stay overnight with her. Danielle was wonderful. She asked questions upfront if she was unsure and made sure things were the way I wanted them. My home was left very tidy and BellaRose was happy and very well cared for.”
About: Hi there! I’am Kostas, a passionate animal lover with 4 years of experience in pet care. I’ve had the pleasure of caring for dogs, cats, and other furry friends providing them with love, attention, and cuddles. I work part-time, with a schedule that changes weekly, but I have availability in the mornings, evenings, and nights. When I’m working, my girlfriend, who also loves and cares for animals, helps take care of your pet to ensure they always receive attention and care. Feel free to reach out, and we can find a time that works best for your pet’s needs! Before each visit, I review the pets information including the routines, diet and any medical conditions. I feed the pets according the owners instructions and ensure they have access to fresh water
“Kara was amazing with Hershey!! She was so communicative and really made us feel comfortable having someone on our home taking care of our pets! It’s tough to get across all of the quirks of your home and pets but she made our trip more enjoyable! Looking forward to using her again!”
“Jordan did a fantastic job of taking care of my pup :) She sent regular updates, photos, and videos and was so sweet to him! She also left our apartment spotless and was so responsible; I would recommend her to anyone!”
About: Hi I’m Jess! I have been an animal lover my whole life and saw Rover as a wonderful opportunity to meet some cute little friends and help make some extra money to help me out. Pets have always had a special place in my heart and I would love to meet some of yours! I have had many animals throughout my life from various types of fish, bearded dragon, hamsters, guinea pigs, a small dog (shitzu- Maltese who just passed away last year at 16 years old), a bird Connie (sun conure - 10 years old) and 2 cats Jack and Jill (13 years old). Many friends and family have trusted me to care for and love their pets when they need a little extra help. I am a very reliable and loving pet sitter with a pretty open schedule. I am currently working remotely so if you have reliable wifi I can work from your house while caring for your animals. I live in Babylon, but am open to helping out on most of the island if it’s a good fit. I am willing to travel to the city for longer/over night stays as well. Whether you need me for daily dog walks/ feedings, or want to take a nice vacation but need your animals and house looked after - I am your girl. Please let me know if you have any questions or special requests and I will do my best to help you out! I am currently unemployed and looking for a new job after the summer is over so my schedule is pretty free. I primarily live in Babylon, but my spend more than half of my week normally in Long Beach with at my boyfriends house because I play volleyball and have a lot of friends here! So I am open to helping in any nearby neighborhoods. I grew up with many different animals and always treated them with love and affection. I will make sure they are walked on time, get some play/active time, and of course always have food and water. Anything that will make the client and the pet happy :)
About: Growing up, family and friends would often trust me with the responsibility of caring for their pets whenever they needed someone. I’ve always had pets of my own as well, usually a cat and a dog or two. My family had Whippets and a Doberman, and throughout my life I’ve also kept fish and the occasional reptile. Animals have always been a big part of my life, and I truly enjoy both the companionship they bring and learning about what makes each pet unique. If you trust me with your pet, I can promise they’ll be cared for and loved as if they were my own. I know how much our pets mean to us, and I’ll treat yours with the same love, patience, and care they deserve. I work a block away from my home. I wake up a few hours before I’m due so I can take care of everyone. I’m home every lunch break for walks and pets then back home about 3 hours after that. My cat always has full reign on the house and my dog has a private bedroom with crate for when I leave. A nice sized fenced in private back yard great makes for a good playtime or potty break.
About: I have 20+ years of experience taking care of dogs from puppies to seniors. I had four dogs of my own growing up which I took a hands on role in caring for and playing with. I currently have 2 dogs whom I love! I have looked after dogs for both friends and family. I am reliable, trustworthy, playful and will look after your fur babies as if they were my own. I'm currently working part time, so I have plenty of time to care for and play with your pups & cats. I am able to make myself available on weekdays and weekends. I offer drop in visits for both dogs and/or cats, dog walking and overnight stays at the client's home when needed. I have experience with puppies & kittens up to seniors. I have had both dogs and cats of my own. I love animals and it would be a privilege to care for your dogs and cats.
About: I’ve taken care of animals my whole life! When I was 10 I had a puppy and have volunteered at animal shelters throughout high school. I can assure you I will take great care of your animals with all the love in my heart. I’m currently working part time, so I have a lot of time this summer! Typically, I work Tuesdays from 11am-4pm and the evening/night of weekends. My availability varies depending on my weekly schedule. I’m definitely a fan of walks and playtime! I’ll make sure the clients house is clean before they return and that their pet has a blast!
“Mindy is reliable and a great Petsitter. My nervous dog Max started to relax and my demanding cat Tigger got lots of attention. They were in very good hands which put me at ease for my vacation. Loved getting the updates and photos. Thank you Mindy !”
“I had such a wonderful experience!! I have two cats and a senior dog who requires a little extra care and attention, and I felt completely comfortable knowing they were in such good hands with Anna. She was reliable, attentive, and so sweet with all three of our pets. Anna sent me so many pics and she kept us updated while we were away, which gave us such peace of mind! I would absolutely recommend her and and will definitely use her again! ❤️🐾”

“We are so glad we had Sam! She stayed in touch with us throughout the week. We gave her quite the task —taking care of a 14 1/2 year old husky and a 5 year old energetic golden doodle for almost a week! We felt so comfortable with her especially because she was so proactive in checking in. She stayed in our house for the week and even when we came back the place was super clean and our girls seemed so happy with her time there!! We loved Sam and we will most definitely be reaching out to her again!! Thank you Sam!!!! 💛💛💛”

Pet parents share their Rover experiences - Wheatley Heights
Samantha was awesome with our pet kitty! He’s extremely shy and has hidden from any sitter we’ve had before, but he made friends with Samantha! She even replaced a broken litter scoop without being asked, brought in our packages and made sure he was eating consistently. Highly recommend and would book again.
Lilian was wonderful to work with. She took care of our dogs (14 and 7months) as well as our chickens. Lilian had no problem with following the instructions for the dogs meds and feeding. I was so nervous to go away with a medical senior but Lilian gave me piece of mind with her calm care, updates and communication. I would definitely recommend Lilian and I would definitely use Lilian again to care for our pets!

The average cost of House Sitting in Wheatley Heights is $61 per night as of October 2026. Most bookings cost between $48 and $70 per night.

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 Wheatley Heights 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 Wheatley Heights 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 Wheatley Heights 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.
