“My husband and I had to leave town for a family emergency and Audry was very, at last minute, accommodating. Our Bosun and River were very well taken care of. From the minute we met her we felt very comfortable leaving her at our home with our fur babies for the week. We will definitely be repeat customer's. She is a very clean and tidy person.”
About: I am a licensed attorney by day and lifelong animal lover at heart. I currently work remotely with a flexible schedule while spending time in Virginia helping and supporting my mother as she approaches retirement. My flexibility allows me to provide attentive, reliable care for pets throughout the day, evenings, and overnight stays. I began my own small dog-walking business in San Francisco while I was in college and later worked through Rover walking large-breed dogs and cat-sitting while studying for the California Bar Exam and working as a paralegal. I am comfortable with both small and large dogs, but I especially love giant breeds like Great Danes. I also adore cats and currently have my own beloved cat, DJ Mustard, who has made me even more attentive to feline personalities, routines, and comfort. Animals have always brought joy and grounding to my life. I believe pets deserve patient, loving, observant care and that owners should feel completely comfortable while away from home. I am calm, responsible, communicative, and genuinely enjoy getting to know each animal’s unique personality and routines. For overnight stays, I also offer optional extras at a bargain cost including homemade pet treats from recipes I have developed myself as well as seasonal or holiday-themed pet portraits and photos. I offer discounts for teachers and service members in honor of my mother, who is a teacher, and my grandfather, who served in the United States Navy. Whether your pet needs companionship, playtime, medication, overnight comfort, or simply someone dependable and kind, I would love the opportunity to care for them. As a remote professional with a flexible schedule, pet care naturally fits into my daily routine through walks, feeding, playtime, companionship, overnight care, and check-ins. Licensed attorney with extensive background checks who provides attentive in-home pet care, including walks, feeding, playtime, cleaning, companionship, overnight support, and thoughtful communication updates.
“Whitney was amazing. She kept in communication and did great watching our crew for a few nights. She followed a medicine schedule for our cat and dealt with a mess she made. Our dog and cats loved spending time with her. She kept our house clean, checked on plants, and our animals were comfortable having her house sit and pet sit. We will definitely be booking her again.”
“Anna was awesome!! She was professional and she definitely knows how to interact with animals. She was great with our dogs Yoda and Marvin and she sent us photos and videos which kept us at ease as well. She is very trustworthy and we will definitely be using her for future housesitting visits!!”
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 currently working a part-time job however, i am available after 5pm on Tuesday’s, Wednesday's, and Friday’s. I am unavailable Mondays & Thursday’s. I am fully available on weekends! 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
“DeHaven took the BEST care of our two pups and provided frequent updates. We truly appreciate not having to worry about our furr kids while we are away. Highly recommend for any future sits!!!”
“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.”
“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: Ive been taking care of dogs all my life, i have experience administering oral medication, feeding pets on specific schedules, bathing pets, taking large and small dogs on walks, and I have experience finding vets and getting pets there quick in case of emergency! I do not start school until the fall, so I have a very flexible schedule! I can help with daily tasks like walking or feeding the animal! I give pets constant attention and care! I've grown up with very clingy puppies, so I'm used to giving animals all my attention! I'm also used to following specific schedules for the animal! (i.e. food, walking, bathroom)

About: Hi! I am an animal connoisseur with years of hands on experience. I grew up surrounded by many animals (hedgehogs, goats, pigs, snakes, cats, dogs, rabbits… you name it!) I’ve fostered for years, and volunteered at the Isle of Wight County Animal Shelter. I have pet sat for neighbors as well. I can bottle-feed, and administer oral and topical medications. Seniors or young animals alike are welcome ☺️ I’d love to care for your baby! I’m a teacher who works full-time. Because of that, I’m available on weekdays after 4pm, and available all day on the weekends. Starting June 6th (summer vacay, yay!) I will be available everyday! I care for every pet in their home with close attention to their usual routine to keep things as normal and stress-free as possible. I follow all care instructions carefully, including feeding schedules, playtime, litter box or potty needs, and medication if needed. Affection and companionship too, of course!
About: I had a dog as a child, loved to help care for her. I don’t own a dog currently, but I do help out with family members dogs on occasion! I work full time, this is more of a weekend job. I could do some evenings after 645pm or early mornings (6 to 7 am) on weekdays. I own two cats, a 10 month old and a 7 year old. Both have different needs and activity levels I try to accommodate. Always make sure they are safe and well attended to.
“I have booked with Felicia three times now, and she has consistently provided a great experience. What stands out most is her attention to detail; she asks a lot of questions upfront to make sure she fully understands my dog's routine and comfort levels. It’s clear she wants to get everything exactly right, which gives me a lot of peace of mind while I'm away. She is reliable, communicative, and truly cares about the well being of the animals in her care. I highly recommend her if you’re looking for someone thorough and attentive!”
“Kim has been amazing throughout my time away from my dogs. Kept them on their schedule, made adjustments when my travel plans unfortunately got changed. I will definitely be rebooking with her in the future.”
“Alexa was absolutely wonderful! She took the time to meet our babies beforehand since they can be a little extra at times, and they immediately felt comfortable and at ease with her. She kept us updated with several pictures, and her communication throughout was excellent. Most importantly, our babies were truly loved and cared for while we were away. We also just moved into a new home from out of state, and many of our belongings — including our couch — still haven’t arrived. We always want our sitters to feel as comfortable as possible, and Alexa was incredibly understanding and kind about our situation, which gave me such peace of mind. I would absolutely recommend Alexa, and I know our babies will be in great hands when we book with her again!”
About: I am the middle child of a fur baby parent who has fostered a many dog breeds of all shapes and sizes over the course of my childhood (Chihuahuas, Yorkie Poodle, Golden Retrievers, Labs, Pit Bulls, Shepherds, etc.) with my first pupper being a rescue at the age of 10. With this, I have experience administering medication and even feedings for the bottle fed pups safely and efficiently (given there are multiple doses during the visit). Also, I can provide light grooming services as requested- if there is a service I am not comfortable with, I will make it clear so pet parents can find the right fit for themselves, their babies! All dogs need love, even the 'hyper' ones! I have experience with handling all different kinds of personalities, from bundles of energy who love to talk to the content seniors that love to rest, so I have no qualms so long as they aren't biters- yikes! I am active and always on the move so taking long walks or multiple short ones, even rides to the dog park, if allowed, are the kind of adventures your doggo will have with me! I am punctual when it comes to following a time schedule and completing tasks before the end of day so the next sitting experience is ready for a fresh start! I have moved back to the Hampton Roads area from Iowa state this past November with ride share (Uber) and Spark being my job at the moment until I find something more stable; I make my own schedule. With this, there is plenty of time to fit your pet(s) into my day to day! Peace of mind for the pet parents and comfortability, safety for said pets are my top priority. I'm always on the lookout, keeping your pet in my line of sight and sheltered (within the home save for walks and outdoor play if granted). Following the guidelines given by parents, communicating throughout the day, not just in a case of emergency is important to me, plus it allows clients the security of knowing what takes place in their home while away.

FAQs for House Sitting - Battery Park
Frequently asked questions about Rover
As of July 2026, there are 1,343 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.
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 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 short introductory meeting between you, your pet, and a sitter. It can take place in person or virtually, although we recommend in-person so that your pet can get to know your sitter 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. Most pet parents and sitters on Rover welcome Meet & Greets because the process can give confidence and peace of mind for service experiences, especially for longer stays or first-time bookings.
Sitters on Rover set their own cancellation policy, which you can find on their profile under their calendar availability.
Cancelling before a booking begins and before the sitter's cutoff time qualifies you for a full refund. Same-day cancellations for walks, day care, and drop-ins follow the full refund policy. Otherwise, for dog boarding and house sitting, you will receive a 50% refund for the first seven days of the booking and a 100% refund for the remaining days when you cancel the same day a booking should begin.
If your sitter needs to cancel within seven days of the booking's start date, then our reservation protection will kick in. This means our support team works with you to find a replacement sitter.
