“Whitney did a great job with taking care of our dogs! She communicated a few times each day and sent pictures while we were out out town. It gave us peace of mind having someone at our house to keep our dogs in their own home. Thank you for house sitting! We will definitely book her again for our next trip.”
“Emily stayed with our dog and 2 cats for three days and was amazing! The animals loved her and she was very easy to work with. She was very responsive and sent us pictures each day of our babies. I highly recommend her and will be using her again I. The future.”
“We couldn’t have asked for a better sitter! Ashley took amazing care of our dogs and our home while we were away. She kept us updated throughout the stay with great communication and of photos, which gave us so much peace of mind. The best part was coming home to happy, relaxed dogs, it was obvious they had been so well cared for that they hardly seemed to miss us! We truly appreciated the love and attention she gave each of them, as well as the care she took with our home. We are so grateful for everything she did and will absolutely be requesting her again for our future pet care needs. Highly recommend!”
About: I’m a lifelong animal lover and currently have two cats of my own & previously owned a medium sized dog. I understand how important it is to have someone you can trust with your pets while you’re away. I’m comfortable with feeding, playtime, walks, litter box care, and giving pets plenty of attention and affection. I’ll treat your pets like they’re my own and make sure they feel safe, comfortable, and loved while in my care! I work mornings and am typically off by noon, so I have plenty of availability for pet care in the afternoons and evenings. I occasionally have afternoon appointments, but my schedule is flexible and I’ll always communicate my availability in advance. I’ll always follow your pet’s normal routine and any instructions you provide to make sure they feel safe and comfortable. I’m attentive, patient, and respectful of your home, and I’ll make sure your pet gets plenty of care, attention, and love while you’re away.
About: I have taken care and grown up with animals my whole entire life. I love and appreciate all animals, I have taken care of almost every single animal of all ages shapes, and sizes! I am currently available at all times and I do look forward to playing and exercising experiences with all of your furry friends. Plus taking care of all personal wants and needs, accommodations and everything else in between! I have a fenced in yard and I can also crate if need be but prefer to keep ur precious pup very active and entertained at all times!
“Breeona, you were such a blessing. Thank you so much for taking care of our fur baby during our time of grief. Sage was very happy to have someone that gave him such love and attention while we were away. Again, we truly appreciate you! Thank you!!!”
“Erin is amazing!!! Super sweet, personable and communicative. Our animals love her. We will definitely be seeking her for future sittings & recommending her whenever we can.”
“I can’t say enough good things about Robbyn. Jackson immediately connected with her, and he was more relaxed than I’ve ever seen him for a high energy puppy. She kept the place spotless, communicated regularly, and sent plenty of photos so I always knew he was doing well. I’m truly grateful for the care she provided, and I will definitely be booking with her again.”
About: I’ve been surrounded by animals my whole life, from rabbits, birds, reptiles, and Guinea pigs, to large dogs, high energy puppies, and cats of all ages/breeds. Friends, family, and neighbors have always trusted me to care for their furry, and non furry friends. Please note I only accept same day booking for repeat clients. I do require to meet with the owners and animals at least once before I accept any bookings. Currently I’m working at Kingsmill resorts full time and will need advance notice if any animals need constant care, typically speaking I work 10am to anywhere from 5 to 8pm occasionally sometimes later. Please note I only accept same day booking for repeat clients. I do require to meet with the owners and animals at least once before I accept any bookings.

“Christina is fantastic! Quick to respond and very friendly. She sent lots of photos and kept me updated during the visit. I will definitely be booking with her again!”
“Kadence was amazing!!! From the moment she came over for the Meet & Greet, my pups were relaxed and up on her lap (which normally takes some time with new people). Kadence stayed in great communication with me and sent pics of my babies, which helps with someone like me that has anxiety when leaving them. My house was cleaned up and I came home to happy, well cared for pups. Thank you Kadence for making me at ease during my trip!!!”
“Felicia was amazing! We came home to happy dogs and a clean home. Thank you for everything. We’ll be in touch for another upcoming trip we’ll need your services for!”

She followed the instructions I left for her to care for our babies perfectly and we came back to two happy dogs. She also sent a lot of cute pics and plenty of detailed updates! Thank you so much Tiffany, we will definitely be booking with you again:) Highly recommend!”
“Cassandra is absolutely amazing! We were nervous leaving our babies for a week and have someone stay at the house. Cassandra met all expectations and more! Extremely communicative, sends lots of photos and videos, treats your babies like her own, and makes you feel calm and peaceful while away. 1000% recommend Cassandra!”

About: I have been taking care of dogs for about 10 years now. I own 3 dogs myself and take care of them everyday. I have also worked at an overnight boarding place for animals, volunteered at animal shelters, fed many pets, walked many dogs, and I hope to continue bettering animals. I am a part time student athlete located in Wilson NC, i am usually available on Thursdays and Tuesdays. Please send me a message if you are confused about my availability! I will make sure your pets have everything they need whether that’s attention, belly rubs, extra potty breaks, long walks, or even a cuddle buddy
About: Dogs have become a true passion of mine. I provide more than feeding and walks; I focus on understanding each dog’s behavior, body language, and individual needs. I’ve worked extensively with puppies and adolescent dogs, helping build confidence, good manners, and positive social skills through structure, patience, and consistency. I carefully monitor eating habits, energy levels, and overall health while dogs are in my care, and I keep owners updated with photos and detailed communication. Whether your dog loves to play, explore, or simply relax, my goal is to provide a safe, calm environment where they can feel comfortable and secure. My schedule allows me to give dogs plenty of individual attention throughout the day. I plan my routine around exercise, structured play, rest periods, potty breaks, and enrichment rather than leaving dogs unattended for long stretches. I strive to maintain each dog’s normal routine as closely as possible so they feel comfortable while you’re away. Safety is always my highest priority. Every new dog is introduced gradually based on temperament and comfort level. I have experience using crates appropriately for rest, meals, and decompression when needed, and I carefully supervise all interactions between dogs. If your dog prefers quiet one-on-one attention, I’m happy to accommodate that as well. I believe every dog is an individual. I take time to observe behavior, communication, and comfort level so I can provide care that fits each dog’s personality rather than using a one-size-fits-all approach.

FAQs for House Sitting - Battery Park
Frequently asked questions about Rover
As of October 2026, there are 1,384 sitters on Rover offering House Sitting across Battery Park. 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 Battery Park 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 Battery Park 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.
<b>Tip:</b> 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 Battery Park 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 Rover Guarantee , 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 Rover's Trust & Safety page .
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 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.
