“We have used Travis a few times now. Both times he has been such a great, informative dog sitter. Both of my dogs adore him:). This most recent visit, Travis shoveled our walkways and our driveway, just wow. This was totally above and beyond what was expected. Travis also left us a yummy treat he had made while staying at our home. If there were more than 5 stars, Travis would get them. We look forward to seeing him again in Feb while we take off for a cruise. It’s a great feeling to be able to leave home, leave to another state, and feeling confident our fur loves are in great hands. Thank you so much Travis. :)”
“Dan was great to work with again! Our 2 pups enjoyed having Dan watch them for an afternoon. Highly recommend! We will continue to work with him in the future. Thank you!”
“LOVE HER!!!! She did an amazing job! The house was in perfect shape when we got home and all pets were happy and wonderful. She sent photos of the dogs every day and clearly cuddles were no issues. We met before I booked and Becca is just a genuinely sweet and amazing soul. I was nervous to use the app for the first time but she put all concerns to rest. I will request Becca every time we need a house and dog sitter. She is extremely trustworthy and wonderful. THANK YOU BECCA!”
“Absolutely wonderful dog sitters. Our dogs were comfortable with them from the start. They ensured the best care of our home as well. Even watering our flowers. Would recommend this couple any time!”
“Christina did wonderful taking care of our dog Kingsley. Sent picture updates and walked him and played with him as well. Our house was cleaner when we returned than it was when we left. Will definitely use again!”
About: I’m the type of person who goes to a party and makes friends with the dog. My friends know I’m around when they see a blanket covering up their sleeping pup. My family has nicknamed me dog girl because I take on the challenge of caring for all of them during family functions. I have experience with dogs who need medication, eye drops, ear drops, or who have health issues. I work from home so I am able to hangout with your pet all day! I have a very flexible work schedule if appointments are needed. I prefer to care for dogs in my home but can watch in your home, let out during the day, and check on your home if away. At my home I leash all pets when letting them out. Dogs are allowed on my furniture, I even have a chair next to my work desk incase they want to lounge around on the job.
“Riley was amazing! I had her watch my dog, Bear, and stay in my home for 5 days. She was so calm and sweet during our meet and greet, so I felt super comfortable leaving her with Bear. Bear is not the easiest dog and was a little snappy during her visit, but she was relaxed and ended up calming me down saying they would get along great. She provided daily updates and always kept me in the loop while I was away. When I got back home, my house was super clean, and Bear was very happy! He clearly had a great visit with Riley as well. Could not recommend Riley enough!”
“Lauren took great care of my babies and my house. She sent pictures every day and cleaned before she left. She definitely left the house cleaner than when she arrived. Highly recommend!”
About: I have helped my daughter take care of her dog when she was on vacation multiple times. I really enjoy going on walks, so your dog will be pretty active. I currently work part-time on Saturday and Sunday, totaling 10 hours. I am free to help with any pet care needs, and will not be out of the house for too long. Pets aren’t just pets, they’re family. I will care for your pet the way you would and make sure they’re getting the love and attention they need!
“Mariah gave us peace of mind the entire time we were away. She is very thorough and you could tell she genuinely cared for our two dogs in our absence. She offered to help in instances we wouldn’t have thought of. Not only that, but our entire trip was last minute and Mariah was up for the challenge. That alone says a lot. Thank you again!”
“I have 2 small dogs. I was gone for a long weekend and had her come in 3-4 times a day to let the dogs out, feed them and play with them. Bri was great with the dogs. They liked her from the 1st time she came for a meet and greet. I will defiantly use her again”
About: I've been taking care of my friends, family and neighbors dogs for as long as I can remember. Anything from daily to week long periods I have fed, walked, and cared for those animals, as well as overnight stays at either my home or theirs. Pet care fits extremely well into my routine, I am an online college student with a majority of free time and flexibility. I am typically up early and readily available most of the time. I remain especially cleanly in my own home and clients, making sure to clean/ tidy up after the pet as well as stay attentive to their needs. Another way I care for pets is by enjoying their company, talking, playing and interacting with them on walks and at home to make sure they are safe, happy and attended to.

“Maddie watched four dogs (our regular three plus one rambunctious sassy puppy that we are fostering) in our home overnight. Communication was good throughout the stay and pictures and updates were provided. Maddie walked all four each day and fed and watered them as well as providing play time in the yard with the Chuck-It toys. She even worked in helping our foster puppy learn a couple commands!”

Frequently asked questions about Rover
As of August 2026, there are 346 sitters on Rover offering House Sitting across Binghamton. 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 Binghamton 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 Binghamton 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 Binghamton 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.
Yes, you can find sitters who have experience with handling special pet needs in Binghamton. On Rover:
- 86% of sitters can help with special care needs
- 95% can help with giving oral medications or injections
- 100% 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.
