About: I’ve taken care of all kinds of dogs (and other animals!) for many years. Family, friends, and co-workers have relied on me to watch and care for their pets whether it’s walking, feeding, playing, even taking them to the vet. I’ve taken care of dogs of all sizes and ages, from senior bull mastiffs to pugs under a year old. There is no dog too big or too small because they’re all perfect to me. I’ve also found lost dogs and helped them return to their owners! I have experience caring for anxious dogs, blind dogs, deaf dogs, dogs with mobility issues, and dogs that require medication. Other animals I’ve taken care of include: cats, parrots, guinea pigs, fish, rabbits, and hamsters. Pets are so precious, they’re such an important source of joy in their family’s lives so it’s such a privilege to be trusted with their care!! :) Pet sitting is currently my full time job, so I have lots of time to give your animals the special care and attention they deserve! I have a fenced in yard which is perfect for dogs to run around in. I also have a car so I’m able to take dogs to the dog park or dog beaches nearby (if that’s something they would enjoy). At a client’s house I still follow any guidance/schedule given to me. In between I typically take the dog’s lead. I’m at their house so it’s important to me that I respect their space (and the clients above all)! I like to take their cues to make sure that their sense of routine isn’t disrupted.
“Sam took great care of my cat Elsa while I was away. She gave her the medicine she needed and made sure she ate. Her litter box was clean and I enjoyed the pictures of Elsa every day.”
About: Hey there, I’m Meg! I am an avid volunteer with both humans and pets, vegetarian, artist and huge animal lover. I have one very sweet 3 year old female shepherd mix who loves to make new friends. I have experience with a number of different types of animals in addition to dogs and cats (small mammals, birds, reptiles and some exotics) and a tremendous love and appreciation for all animals. I am responsible, punctual and super outgoing. I’ve been dog sitting, nannying and house sitting professionally for just about 10 years now. I provide dog sitting in my house or travel sitting in yours + will make sure your dog is happy, fed, walked and entertained while you're out! I have a lot of energy and love to take them for walks, and for calmer dogs that just like to be pet and lounge around, we can do that too! I’m comfortable administering medication as I’ve done it with my own dogs in the past and don’t mind giving baths or trimming nails with a Dremel if requested as well. I have excellent references, a clean license and safe car if transportation is needed. I’m so excited to hear from you! I work from home during the week and am available to play/have fun any weekend I’m booked to watch your little friend. I can take frequent walks/potty breaks and play as much as requested. have a fully fenced in dog-proofed yard with lots of toys and activities to do! I have 1 very social medium sized dog who loves having guests over and is always happy to welcome our home to other friends.
About: I have taken care of dogs and cats for over 14 years. I have been a dog sitter at peoples homes. Friends and family have relied on me to walk, feed and if needed bathe them.

I have a dog at home who is the love of my life and I also walk him. When I am at a client's home, I like to make sure the fence(if provided) is closed and the house or apartment is pet proofed as well.

“I booked Lindsay back to back weeks for drop-in visits. Lindsay was so great with all 3 of our dogs. They were so happy to see her. She was on time, walked, fed and played with them and sent the best pictures. I highly recommend Lindsay and will be using her again.”
About: Hi! I’m Chelsea, owner of Paws By Chels. I offer reliable drop-in visits, walks, and personalized boarding with a calm, low-stress environment for your pets. I have experience caring for dogs, cats, and even small farm animals like chickens, and I truly treat every animal like family. I specialize in drop-in care for busy owners who want their pets to stay comfortable in their own home while still receiving plenty of attention, exercise, feeding, potty breaks, playtime, and love while you’re away. For boarding, I offer three private suites/rooms to help keep your dog comfortable, relaxed, and stress-free. I am crate-free unless your dog is already crate trained and comfortable using one. My goal is to provide a safe, cozy, home-style environment where pets feel secure and cared for. I understand how important trust and communication are when leaving your pets with someone, so I always provide updates and photos for peace of mind. I pride myself on being dependable, patient, attentive, and responsive. I look forward to meeting you and your pets! Pet care is a natural part of my everyday routine. I make time in the mornings and evenings for walks, feedings, and playtime, and I love building my schedule around making sure pups get the attention they deserve. On weekends, I’m extra flexible and can spend more time outdoors for longer walks, adventures, or just keeping your dog company. Whether it’s sticking to a set routine or adding a little extra play, I make sure caring for pets fits seamlessly into my day. In my home, pets get a safe, cozy environment where they’re treated like family. I stick to their feeding schedule, provide plenty of potty breaks, and make sure they get playtime, walks, and snuggles. If they’re crated, I keep them comfortable and on their normal routine so they feel at ease. In a client’s home, I always respect your space and your pet’s routine. I make sure food, water, walks, and potty breaks happen right on schedule, and I give them the attention and love they’d get if you were home. I keep things clean, send updates and photos, and make sure your pup feels secure until you return.

“I can’t say enough good things about Steff. She has cared for my cat on multiple occasions — not just this trip, but also the time before — and she has consistently gone above and beyond. She’s professional, clear in her communication, and always gives me complete peace of mind when I’m away. I know my cat is safe, happy, and well cared for in her hands. I will absolutely continue to use her in the future (if she’ll have us!) and highly recommend her to anyone looking for a trustworthy and caring cat sitter. ❤️”
About: Hi! I'm Bri ☺️ I've been an animal lover for as long as I can remember. I've lived with animals since before I could talk, and caring for them has always been something I genuinely enjoy. Over the years I've had the opportunity to care for animals of all ages, sizes, and personalities, and I love getting to know what makes each of them unique. 🐶🐈 I'm currently offering walking and drop in visits. I know every fur baby is different. Some want to play the entire visit, while others are happiest taking a slow, sniffy walk or getting belly rubs on the couch. I'm happy to meet them where they're comfortable and give them the kind of care that helps them feel relaxed and happy. 🐾 As a dog mom myself, I know how important it is to find someone you trust with your fur baby. I treat each and every one as if they were my own and always make sure they receive plenty of love, attention, and patience. I'll also send lots of photos and updates during every visit so you can relax knowing your baby is happy and in good hands. 📸 I'm comfortable caring for baby, adult, and senior pets and I can administer oral medications if needed. My goal is to make every visit a positive experience for both you and your fur baby. I can't wait to meet you guys! 🩷 I work from home, which gives me some flexibility throughout the week. My availability can vary depending on my work schedule, so let me know what you're looking for and I'll do my best to make it work! 😊 Your baby's safety and comfort are always my top priorities. I'll follow your care instructions closely, whether that means sticking to a feeding schedule, giving medication, playing with a specific toy, or reinforcing your training routines. I'll treat your home with the same respect I would my own and make sure your fur baby gets plenty of love, attention, and care while you're away. 🩷

The average cost of Dog Sitting in Yaphank is $22 per visit as of November 2026. Most bookings cost between $15 and $22 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.

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.
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 Yaphank 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!
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.
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.
While Rover doesn’t offer traditional subscription services, some sitters offer recurring bookings for services like home visits and dog walking. Recurring services come with their own perks, such as flexibility to modify services (up to five weeks in advance), automatic billing, Rover Card updates, and same-day cancellations.

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.
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.
