“Zoe went above and beyond caring for both our 90-pound adult dog and our high-energy puppy! I’ve always been the type of person who is extremely nervous about leaving my dogs in someone else’s care, to the point that I’ve never hired a dog walker or pet sitter before. However, after getting our puppy and having a prior commitment that meant we’d be away from home for an extended period, we decided to take the leap and reach out to Zoe. We couldn’t be happier that we did! Zoe didn’t just meet our expectations; she completely exceeded them. She even arrived a little early to make sure she had all the information she needed for a successful visit. Throughout the entire time, she kept us updated and maintained great communication, which gave us so much peace of mind. When we returned home, both dogs were happy, well cared for, and properly exercised. As someone who is very particular about who I trust with my dogs, I cannot recommend Zoe enough! I would absolutely rebook with her in a heartbeat, and we’ve already started discussing our future dog-walking needs with her. Thank you so much, Zoe! We’re so grateful to have found you! ❤️”

About: I’ve always had a natural connection with animals, and caring for pets is something I genuinely love not just a side gig. I have hands on experience caring for pets of different personalities, energy, levels, and needs. Im comfortable with feeding routines, potty breaks, leash walking, and giving pets the attention and reassurance they need while you are away. Each pet gets personalized attention based on their routine, temperament and preferences. Im patient, observant and very attentive to details. I also prioritize communication, so you’ll feel informed, reassured, and confident that your pet is in great hands. I go to school durning the week but on weekends I’m definitely dedicated to spending time with other dogs when ur not available I love dogs and think they won’t be sad when there’s company around Whether Im caring for pets in my home or in a clients home, my goal is always to provide a safe, calm, and loving environment that feels as close to “normal” as possible for them.

About: In the span of my life, I had 4 dogs and currently I am taking care of 1. I also have taken care of family and friends' dog by bathing, feeding and walking them. I'm currently a full-time student at Mercy university meaning I could schedule walks or pet-sitting around my classes and study sessions. It can also be a relaxing break that helps me recharge while getting some fresh air. Plus, pet care can be flexible, allowing me to pick times that fit best with my weekly schedule. When caring for pets as a dog walker, I prioritize preparation and safety, ensuring pets have everything needed for a comfortable walk. I monitor their behavior closely, adjust pace based on energy levels, and offer personalized updates post-walk. I’m flexible with scheduling, accommodating my school responsibilities and my clients’ needs.

About: I’ve taken care of young puppies with energetic personalities and senior fur buddies with special needs. All are given love and care from the heart. Additionally, I have an eight year-old pug who is my best friend and I always try to make sure that he is included in everything I do. He is also a senior dog, so I always try to make sure that his diet and health is my top priority. He knows that he can trust me whenever he is feeling down or happy, and I plan to provide the same love towards your pup! I'm a 24-year-old grad student at Lehman college studying speech pathology. Most of my classes are at night, allowing a lot of daytime to spend caring for fur babies. I love nature walks and spending time with my pug (my best friend). In my home, I have a senior pug who is loving and stays in his world but will keep your furry friend company. My family is also loving to all animals, so extra love will be guaranteed in my home. When it comes to your pet's needs, I take pride in following instructions and specific because I value health and I would like others to do the same with my beloved dog.

About: Hi! My name is Elise and I am so excited to help you and your fur babies! I have always had a big space in my heart for animals. Growing up in Washington, DC I used to volunteer at the local humane society and always have an extra can of food in my car for the stray cats around the city. Throughout my life, my parents have always had cats, and my chores were always cat related. From Cat sitting, to litter clean up, food prep, playing, and even setting up cat furniture, I am very experienced when it comes to the needs of your feline friend. I now have a dog of my own named Echo who lives in DC, and he is literally my biological son.

My time is available to dedicate to your giving your pet the best possible care in the world! I find consistency very important when a pet is in my care so I will always keep your pet on a schedule and keep your home tidy!

About: I’ve cared for lot of different dogs from anxious dogs, to the happy high spirited ones. In most cases I’ve found dogs away from home just need a little more attention & a little more patience. I like to set up their routine per owner instructions of course, and keep there life like business as usually if not better. Since I’m on a work from home Flexible schedule, I can dedicate a lot more time to tend to their needs through each day. I have very structured, and tend to be an early riser. I like to run or workout in the morning so typically would bring the dog with me to the park In the am with walks through out the day as I tend to run most errands walking distance. Etc All I ask is your informed me of any allergies, health or non health related problems so I can prepare for their stay. Communication is key.

About: I’m patient with shy, anxious, high-energy, or senior pets, and I pay close attention to routines, behavior changes, and individual personalities. I’m reliable, communicative, and detail-oriented, so owners can trust that instructions will be followed carefully and their pets will get thoughtful, attentive care rather than just a quick check-in. I’m a freelancer and student, Pet care fits naturally into my routine because I have a flexible schedule and genuinely enjoy spending time with animals. I’m organized, reliable, and good at maintaining consistent feeding, play, medication, and check-in schedules. I also like quieter routines, so spending time caring for cats feels calming and grounding rather than stressful or rushed. I care for pets with a lot of attention, patience, and respect for their routines and boundaries. In a client’s home, I make sure food, water, litter, medications, and general cleanliness are handled carefully while also giving the cat affection, enrichment, or space depending on their personality. I pay close attention to behavior changes and prioritize creating a calm, safe environment where pets feel comfortable while their owners are away. Always happy to send updates and tidy up!

About: Hello! My name is Iraya Catalina and I can't wait to have the lovely experience of meeting you and your pet! I am a performer with a love for animals, looking to make a little bit of extra income being new to the city! In terms of sitting and care experience, not only have a had animals since I was a child, I have had to house and animal sit for many members of my family and even friends, and always have a blast doing so. I am ready to provide for your pup, or cat in any way possible! I can take animals for walks or runs, take them to the many parks in the area, or just cuddle up and watch a movie with them if that’s what they prefer!! Also, because I think it is important to note how every dog is different, I have a lot of experience with skittish and anxious pups. My first two dogs when I was a child were both abused pound puppies, and I grew up with them and learned how to bring a dog out of their shell and make them feel safe and loved. I want nothing more than to replicate that with any animal that comes into my care. I would love to know, before caring for the animal, about anything that always makes them growl or make them anxious. I want your animal just as happy as before they are entrusted to my care, happier if possible! Your animal is your family and I want nothing more for its, and your, comfort and joy. Can't wait to welcome your dog into my life! I currently work a few jobs, but my mornings are usually empty. I can do late night walks too if necessary, but I’m usually busy working 4 pm - 12 am Wednesday thru Sunday. I will be attentive to your pet and make sure they have their needs covered by me! I love it the most when dogs are vocal with their needs, but I am patient and intuitive when it comes to what your pet might need in the moment.

About: Hi! I’m Amae — a lifelong animal lover who truly grew up surrounded by pets. I was raised with a sweet pit bull and two cats, so caring for animals has always been a natural (and happy) part of my life. I also have experience helping my mom with babysitting and pet care through the app, so I understand the importance of trust, communication, and consistency when caring for someone else’s fur babies. I’m currently a responsible college student who loves being around animals in my free time. Right now, I’m also a bunny mom, so I’m used to routines, gentle handling, and giving lots of love and attention. Whether it’s playtime, cuddles, or making sure your pet feels safe and comfortable while you’re away, I’ll treat them like family. I know how special pets are, and I’d be happy to help care for yours 🐶🐱🐰✨ Pet care is already a built-in part of my daily routine. Every day, I make time to feed and play with my cat, as well as care for my bunny. That means fresh food and water, enrichment time, cleaning their spaces, and making sure they’re both getting attention and affection. I really value creating a calm, consistent routine for animals, so checking in on them throughout the day has just become second nature to me. In other people’s homes, I respect house rules, keep things tidy, and maintain clear communication so you always know how your pet is doing. Whether it’s checking collars and leashes before walks, monitoring playtime, or making sure they have fresh water. I treat every pet with the same level of care and attention I give my own.

About: What sets me apart is the depth of love and care I bring to every animal. I’m pet CPR and First Aid certified, and I have over 9 years of hands on experience caring for my beloved bulldog Bear, my roommate’s dog Lily, and a friend’s cat and her kittens while babysitting. Bear passed away last year, and caring for other pets again feels like a meaningful way to be around the love and companionship I miss so deeply. With me, your pet isn’t just watched, they’re truly cared for like family. Pet care fits naturally into my daily routine because I take my college classes 100% online, giving me a very flexible schedule. I’m home throughout the day, which allows me to give pets consistent attention, frequent check-ins, walks, playtime, and companionship. Whether it’s cuddles, feeding, or structured outdoor time, I’m able to fit their needs into my routine without rushing. Having pets around actually brings balance and joy to my week, so caring for them becomes a meaningful part of my day, not an interruption. I care for pets with the same love I gave my own dog, whether they’re in your home or mine. I follow routines closely, keep their space clean and safe, and provide regular updates. I believe pets need both mental and physical stimulation, so I make sure they get a balanced mix of exercise, play, affection, and calm companionship. My goal is for every pet to feel secure, engaged, and truly cared for.

About: I have been an animal lover for as long as I can remember. Whether it was at my grandmothers house or down the street at the neighbors, I have always been the first one my loved ones call to feed, walk, and cuddle dogs, cats, and any other pet under the sun. I have been around animals my entire life, starting with frequently visiting & caring for my brothers dog when I was just 10 years old. I began pet sitting in middle school, and then this passion grew into my summers at college. I often watch my friends pets in the city when they’re away on trips & am now looking to expand my animal-loving world through Rover. I enjoy taking long walks through the parks, playing outside in the grass, discovering new games, balancing exercise with rest & treats, bathing & lots + lots of cuddles :) Currently I am working part time & remotely, so I have super open + flexible availability! Most of the work I do can be done on my own schedule, so I have plenty of time to make for your pet! Weekends are also generally a great time for me as well. I am happy to oblige to any house rules you may have for your furry friend! (ie on or off furniture, caging around bedtime, feeding/treat schedule etc.)

About: Dog owners can feel confident knowing their pets will have a fun, safe, and engaging experience while they’re away. I’ve spent my whole life caring for and being around dogs and cats, and truly love the companionship of animals. As someone who exercises daily and enjoys staying active, I’m more than capable of keeping up with energetic pups. I have a dog and cat of my own, so I understand the importance of keeping pets well-fed, hydrated, and comfortable—especially in warm weather. Being an outdoors enthusiast, I love spending time in nature, and walks through Central Park are always a highlight of my day. I look forward to giving your furry friend the same love and care I give my own. Pet care fits naturally into my weekly routine, as I dedicate time each day to being active and spending time outdoors. As a part time Flight attendant my job allows me flexibility to do what I love on the side! At home or during visits, I ensure that food, water, and rest areas are clean, comfortable, and suited to your pet’s needs. Whether indoors or outdoors, you can trust that your furry friend will be safe, supervised, and treated with the same care and attention I give my own pets.

Let’s begin by saying I’ve never left my dogs for more than a few days and if so usually with just my mom. I had to go away for a family vacay and was so anxious as one of my doggies has to take his heart medication every 12hrs. Being away for 7 days while everyone I trusted was on this trip with me and thank god I came across Laudianny she was AMAZING! She was puntual and amazing with my babies. She was so good with link and his medicine and so loving with Lily 💕 all my dogs loved her. I will 100% be booking with her again!

FAQs for Dog Sitting - Bronx

Frequently asked questions about Rover

The average cost of Dog Sitting in Bronx is $28 per visit as of October 2026. Most bookings cost between $17 and $43 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.

As of October 2026, there are 26,376 sitters on Rover offering Dog Sitting across Bronx. Enter your ZIP code to see which available sitters are closest to your home.

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 Bronx 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 .

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.

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 .

Same-day cancellations for recurring services, which include walks, drop-ins, and day care, follow the full refund policy.
