“Cecilia was the best! She showed lots of patience with my dog, Jojo, and she never hesitated to ask questions. I also really appreciate how often Cecilia would communicate via text. Good updates and even better pictures!”

About: Hi my name is Brandon. I was raised in New York and have owned a few dogs over the years. I have about 12 years of experience walking and sitting for different breeds of dogs including stubborn bulldogs, hyper huskies, large golden retrievers, etc. I'm available all days, mostly afternoons and nights. I'll walk in any weather conditions, whether it's snowing, raining or scorching hot. I will be sure to care for your dog and they are my own because I know how much they mean to you. I can run and play with your dog or I can take it easy. I will make sure to log and report any physical and behavioral changes I observe while on a walk or while pet sitting.
“Jose is communicative and responsible. Our dog Lola was super happy with him and we had total peace of mind leaving Lola for 5 days. It made our trip so much more enjoyable! We will hire him again! Jose watched Lola at our house and took great care of them both (house and dog). He’s a respectful guest. He sent us many pictures and videos so we knew she was getting out and eating well. He spoiled her with attention and exercise (she’s high energy and needy so this was perfect!)”

About: I’ve cared for dogs of all sizes and personalities for many years family pets, friends’ dogs, and neighbors’ pets. I’m comfortable with feeding, walks, potty breaks, playtime, and giving medication if needed. As a parent myself, I’m patient, responsible, and always at home to give your pets the attention and security they need while you’re away. I treat every pet like my own and send regular updates with photos so you have peace of mind. Pet care is a natural fit for my daily routine. As a parent, I’m home most of the day and already structured around caring for others. I handle meals, potty breaks/litter scooping, playtime, and any medication on a consistent schedule that matches your pet’s needs. I can easily adjust around school drop-offs, pickups, or family activities while still giving your pets plenty of attention and companionship. Overnight house sitting works especially well because I’m already at home in the evenings and nights. I’m reliable with communication and always make sure pets’ needs come first while fitting everything smoothly into my day. When you book house sitting with me, your pets stay in the comfort of their own home and receive consistent, attentive care. I’m home most of the day, so your pets get plenty of companionship and won’t be left alone for long stretches. You’ll receive daily photo updates and short messages so you know how everyone is doing. I follow your exact routines for feeding, potty breaks/litter scooping, medication (if needed), and playtime. I keep the house tidy, bring in the mail, water plants if requested, and leave everything just as I found it. I’m a parent myself, so I’m patient, calm, and used to managing a household. Your pets will be treated with the same care and affection I give my own family. Feel free to request a Meet & Greet so we can go over everything in person and make sure it’s a perfect fit!
About: I'm new to professional pet sitting and dog walking, but I've already worked with different types of dogs and learned what it takes to give them great care. I have a calm, patient personality and genuinely care about animals I listen to each dog and adapt to their needs <( ̄︶ ̄)> I have a flexible schedule and am available most days for dog walking and pet sitting. I'm reliable and always show up on time. Pet care fits naturally into my routine, and I make sure every dog gets the exercise, attention, and care they need :) I take pet safety very seriously. I listen carefully to your instructions and follow them exactly — every dog is different, and I respect that. I'm calm, patient, and attentive to each pet's personality and needs. I'll send you updates so you always know how your pet is doing 🐱🐶
About: I’ve had a deep passion for engaging with and taking care of animals since I was a kid; specifically with dogs & cats. I’ve been fortunate enough to have become a reliable sitter for several families and neighbors that I grew up with on Long Island, and have been able to continue serving many different owners across Manhattan while I attend university here in the city. My apartment is perfect for in-home boarding requests as this has become my favorite form of pet-care. Personally, I’ve yet to find anything in my life that I enjoy more than getting to play with and look after dogs and cats; over the years I’ve learned such a great deal about the type of engagement that dogs really need throughout their daily activity, as well as providing a safe and protected environment for cats that wish to roam. I’ve have solid experience administering medication, following strict meal plans, and even training as needed - all animals are different and require different types of care. It would be my privilege to watch over yours! I’m currently enrolled asynchronously at Touro University to pursue my Masters in Education which provides me with plenty of time and availability to be present and engaged with the animals I’ve been fortunate enough to work with. I have a spacious apartment with a full trained & vaccinated Labrador puppy of my own who’s incredibly docile, but quite playful! I am fully stocked on food, toys, treats, vitamins, an Animal First-Aid Kit, and even HeartGuard + Symperica Trio supplements (just in case.) Ofcourse, watching your animal in your home would be no problem either and I have extensive experience in doing so - it all really just depends on your need. Committing to your pet’s regimen and ensuring their comfort will always remain my highest priority.
About: My experience with animals goes beyond just having pets of my own! I’ve raised my cat, Khloe, since she was a newborn, cared for my boyfriend’s senior dog Gizmo (RIP), and even helped care for a family member’s puppy (Romeo) who was sick with a UTI. That meant keeping up with more frequent walks and giving the puppy extra attention throughout the week. I’ve also managed to keep three carnival goldfish (Darwin, Sayuri, and Mohawk) happy and healthy for over two years! From young pets who need supervision to senior pets who may need a gentler hand, I’ve learned every animal has different needs, but deserve the same patience consistency and love. I’m also a photographer and artist, so I LOVE catching those goofy moments that fill every pet owners phone gallery. If your pet becomes my buddy, don’t be surprised if you get an entire complimentary photo shoot! I will also be happy to clean your fur baby afterwards (yuck nyc floors) and provide poop bags, toys, treats, etc if needed! I’m currently in college full time, with Mondays and Wednesday’s being my most unavailable days. Tuesday,Thursday,Friday, and weekends are my best days. I have classes Tues-Thurs from 10:45-12pm, and periodically have classes on Thursday from 3:05 to 5:45. This is my last semester, so I will be graduating soon. We can work together to find the best schedule 🐾 Whether it is in my home or yours, my priority is making sure the fur baby is safe, comfortable, and loved. I follow the usual feeding, walking, playtime, and rest routines as closely as possible. In your home, I’ll respect your space, keep your pet areas cleaner than you left them, and make sure they have fresh food and water.
“Brianna took excellent care of our two large dogs, and I will definitely book her again in the future whenever possible! She was very kind, flexible, humble and just really a joy to communicate with. The dogs were so happy and relaxed in pictures and when we were back, which means that Brianna gave them all of the TLC they needed. I highly recommend her!”

About: As a full-time teacher and lifelong dog lover, I’ve spent years caring for dogs of all sizes and personalities. Friends, family, and coworkers often rely on me to board their pets, knowing they’ll be loved and well cared for while they’re away. I’m patient, responsible, and passionate about making sure each dog feels safe, happy, and at home. Whether your pup enjoys long walks, playtime, or cuddles, I’ll treat them like part of my family. I work full-time as a teacher, but I’m available for boarding on weekends, holidays, and school breaks. I dedicate my free time to caring for pets and make sure every dog gets plenty of love, attention, and outdoor time when staying with me. As a full-time teacher and lifelong animal lover, I’ve cared for dogs and cats my entire life. Friends, family, and coworkers often trust me to board their dogs or check in on their pets when they’re away. I recently rescued two kittens, adding to my experience caring for pets with different personalities and needs. I’m patient, responsible, and truly enjoy giving every pet the love and attention they deserve. Whether your pup needs playtime and long walks or your cat just needs a friendly visit, I’ll treat them like family. I offer a calm, loving home environment where your dog can feel safe and relaxed. I follow each pet’s normal routine and keep you updated with photos and messages while you’re away. While I can’t board cats, I’m happy to care for them in their own home—making sure they’re fed, comfortable, and given plenty of affection. Your pets’ happiness and safety are always my top priorities
About: I had plenty of pets growing up and I take full responsibility for pets. I will care for your pets as they were family 👪 My schedule is pretty flexible and I would work around your schedule for your convenience. Let me know how I can help you 😌 ☺ I listen more than I speak. I fully understand that they're more than pet's, they're a part of the family and I fully understand that
“Jacob did an amazing job with my dog. This is my second time booking him and he really goes above and beyond. I would truly recommend him to anyone looking for a dog sitter!”

About: I specialize in providing structured, stress-free care tailored to your dog’s and or cat’s unique personality and behavioral needs. Experienced in handling large, strong, and leash-reactive dogs, and hyperactive to the grumpiest cats. I use positive-reinforcement techniques to manage reactivity and resource guarding safely and calmly on walks and at home. You can count on strict adherence to your precise feeding, exercise, and routine instructions, backed by detailed daily photo and video updates so you always have total peace of mind while you're away. I currently focus on taking care of kitten Minnie and my career which is both flexible enough to include care for your pet as well. I’d say my experience would also answer this question,I treat all animals with the utmost love and respect no matter where we are or the circumstances.
About: Most of my pet care experience is actually on my resume I've been working pet related jobs my whole life and so this is my first time actually doing it as a service on my own. I'm looking forward to letting my experience shine here on Rover to show exactly what sets me apart from the rest. I have been living in a zoo my whole life so essentially throwing in a few more pets really wouldn't be an issue to me. I have a set schedule for my pets to be fed routinely however if I am advised upon providing food to your pet at a specific time I'll just follow your rules because I'm pretty sure that your pet is already accustomed to the feeding schedule that you may have them on.
“Iris is wonderful - reliable, trustworthy, and a great communicator. She followed all instructions to a tee. She was able to bond with my pets immediately, even my pup who gets nervous when I travel. She left our home clean and orderly... I can barely tell she was here. I look forward to having Iris back!”
“Raiysa is a Queen!!! I could not have asked for a better dog sitter for my two rescue dogs!!! They require special care and she went above and beyond. I feel confident in saying that she is, in fact, an animal whisperer. While I was away, Raiysa sent me tons of videos, pics, and updates. If she had a question, she reached out, even just to be safe. I felt so at peace knowing my quirky, needy, attention loving dogs were safely in her hands. Thanks again, Raiysa! Queso and Honey send their love, until next time!”

“So grateful for Charlee, who provided last-minute coverage for my cat, Bowie. She provided clear updates and photos throughout the trip, which put my mind at ease, and Bowie seemed happy and well cared for when I got home! She even brought in one of my packages and kept the apartment very clean. I’d absolutely book with her again. Thank you, Charlee!”

About: I have over 10 years of experience caring for dogs of all sizes through my own pets and by helping friends, family, and neighbors. I understand that every dog has a unique personality, routine, and needs, so I take the time to make each one feel safe, comfortable, and loved. Whether it’s going on walks, feeding, playtime, administering basic medications, or simply providing companionship, I treat every pet as if they were my own. I also send photo updates after every visit because I know how reassuring it is for pet parents to see their furry family member happy and well cared for. From energetic puppies to shy or senior dogs, I’m patient, attentive, and committed to following each owner’s instructions to ensure their pet receives the highest quality care. Pet care fits perfectly into my schedule, allowing me to dedicate quality time and attention to every visit. I do my best to be flexible and accommodate each pet owner’s needs whenever possible. Whether your dog needs a walk, drop-in visit, or extra playtime, I’m committed to being dependable, punctual, and making sure your pet gets the care and attention they deserve while you’re away. Your pet’s safety and comfort are always my top priorities. I carefully follow each owner’s instructions regarding feeding schedules, medications, exercise, and routines to help pets feel secure and maintain consistency. I pay close attention during walks, use secure leashes and harnesses, and always keep a clean, calm environment. I understand that trusting someone with your pet is a big decision, so I strive to provide dependable care, clear communication, and regular photo updates so you can have peace of mind while you’re away.

“Alex as usual was amazing watching my little guy. She is super thoughtful and always goes above and beyond. This time she picked up Maxwell from another location to bring him back to the apartment to house sit, included continuous updates of Max’s progress, and took the extra step to make sure I had clean linens returning from my trip. It was such a relief to know Max was in excellent hands with someone he loves. Just wonderful! Alex is the best!!”

This is the second time I have hired Shayla to watch my dogs and it won’t be the last! My dogs are very affectionate “Velcro dogs” and Shayla did not seem to mind at all; she sent pics of her and my dogs relaxing together. Additionally, my older pup is stage 3 CKD and Shayla had no issue administering sub-q fluids and medications When I come home, they’re more happy than anxious bc she made them comfortable while I was away. Thank you again Shayla! You’re amazing. Def a rebook for me.

Altagracia has been a wonderful sitter for my dog, Louis. Every time she stays in my home, she is attentive, reliable, and truly committed to his well‑being. She takes the time to understand his routines and his moods, and she always makes sure he feels comfortable and secure. When Louis wasn’t interested in his usual food, Altagracia didn’t hesitate — she cooked something appealing for him so he would eat. That level of care says everything about her dedication. She consistently goes the extra mile and treats Louis with real thoughtfulness. I trust her completely in my home and with Louis. She communicates clearly, and gives Louis the calm, steady presence he needs. I highly recommend Altagracia to anyone looking for a dependable, caring sitter who will treat their dog with genuine attention and respect.

Grace was an incredible find!! My dog loved her from the moment he met her! I was totally at ease leaving her with him for the weekend. She sent a ton of pictures and was in constant contact with me. My dog looked so happy with her taking care of him. I highly recommend her if you are looking for a caring sitter for your pet!!!!!

We had a wonderful experience with our sitter Banessa! She was very kind, reliable, and took great care of our cat, Tikhon. She stayed overnight every night as agreed and kept us updated with lovely photos and messages. It was clear from the photos that Tikhon was happy and comfortable with her, which gave us so much peace of mind while we were away. We really appreciated how responsible and caring she was and would definitely recommend her to other pet parents!

Rochelle was absolutely wonderful, and we couldn’t have asked for a better dogsitter. She came by before the sitting to meet us, get familiar with our pets, and learn her way around the house. Since we weren’t home, we arranged her arrival in advance, and everything worked perfectly. She was completely comfortable finding her way around the house and handled all of our pets with confidence and care. It was clear from the start that Rochelle is responsible, professional, and genuinely loves animals. She took excellent care of our pets, kept everything in order, and somehow even left the house looking nicer than when she arrived! We can highly recommend Rochelle. Her friendly nature, professionalism, reliability, and the wonderful care she gave our pets gave us complete peace of mind while we were away. We would absolutely have her sit for us again!

I cannot say enough good things about Kamryn. She took excellent care of my kitties and I have many spoiled princesses and a prince. My house was immaculate when I returned home, my kitties were happy, she sent daily photos and was so responsive to their every need. I will absolutely book her services again and you would be very lucky to have her take care of your precious fur babies and/or house.

Domenica stayed with my dog Kosmos for three nights. I can only recommend her services. She was very responsive, sent me updates, and took great care of him. Kosmos often gets anxious when I’m traveling, which I can see based on how he acts while I’m away and right after I’m back. But this time he was completely relaxed and happy, which is entirely Domenica’s accomplishment.

Lilly was a great at-home sitter for my 4 month old puppy, Lila! Lilly tended to Lila’s needs, was affectionate with her, and was very responsive with me. She also consistently sent me adorable photos of my Lila while she was with her. Lilly also kept my space very clean. I will definitely hire her again :)

Frequently asked questions about Rover
Rover is the largest marketplace for local pet care. Whether you're looking for pet sitters, dog walkers, or house sitters who specialize in pet sitting, you can narrow your search by entering your ZIP code to find sitters within walking distance in your neighborhood.
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 Bronx 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 Bronx 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 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!
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 , 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 .
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 .
sitters on Rover set their own , 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.
Yes, you can find sitters who have experience administering medication or managing dietary requirements. You can also find pet sitters who accept only one pet at a time, which is ideal for anxious puppies 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 request a Meet & Greet to walk your sitter through your expectations.
