About: Ayant une profonde affection pour les animaux, je souhaite pouvoir établir une connexion avec le/les vôtre/vôtres afin de favoriser son bien‑être. J’ai moi‑même partagé plus de onze années avec mon chien, une période remplie de moments précieux. Je travaille actuellement a temps plein en télé-travail. Je suis donc dans le quartier et je peux me libérer sur mes temps de pauses et mon heure de diner qui sont très flexible pour venir m'occuper de votre compagnon. Entrer dans le domicile de quelqu’un est pour moi un geste de confiance que je respecte énormément. La sécurité passe avant tout, et je prendrai soin de votre maison et de votre compagnon avec toute l’attention qu’ils méritent.

About: With a lifetime of experience around large dogs, I’m confident caring for breeds of all sizes and temperaments. I prioritize safety, routine, exercise, and personalized attention so you can feel completely at ease while away. Doggy daycare/dog walking fits really naturally into my routine because I already have dedicated days off during the week and love staying active. I work full time, but on my available days I’m home and able to give dogs lots of attention, walks, playtime, and bathroom breaks throughout the day. Your pet will get lots of attention, walks, playtime, and love. I stick to their routine so they feel comfortable, but I also make sure they’re getting plenty of stimulation and not just sitting around bored. At my place, they’ve got a safe, relaxed space to hang out and settle in like they belong there. In a client’s home, I keep things consistent so they feel secure in their own environment.

About: 🐾 Experienced Dog Lover — 20+ Years of Caring for Dogs Dogs have been a huge part of my life for more than 20 years, and I genuinely believe they deserve to be treated like members of the family. Over the years, I’ve cared for dogs of different breeds, sizes, ages, personalities and energy levels — from energetic puppies who need plenty of play and attention to older dogs who simply want companionship, patience and a comfortable place to relax. I understand how difficult it can be to leave your dog in someone else’s care. My goal is to make that decision as easy and stress-free as possible. When your dog is with me, they’ll receive the same attention, affection and respect I would want for my own. 🐶 What you can expect from me: * 20+ years of hands-on experience with dogs * Lots of attention, affection and playtime * Walks tailored to your dog’s age and energy level * Patience with puppies, seniors and different personalities * Careful attention to your dog’s normal routine and your instructions * Regular photos and updates so you know how they’re doing * A dependable, responsible and safety-conscious approach to every dog in my care I know every dog is different. Some want to play all day, some want long walks, some are nervous in new situations, and others would happily spend the afternoon curled up beside you. I take the time to understand your dog rather than treating every dog the same. Most importantly, I want your dog to feel safe, comfortable and genuinely cared for while you’re away. Whether you need someone for walks, drop-in visits or dependable care while you’re out of town, I’d love the opportunity to meet you and your dog. Your dog isn’t “just a booking” to me — they’re someone’s best friend. 🐾❤️ Send me a message and tell me a little about your pup. I’d be happy to arrange a meet & greet! I have a flexible schedule and can dedicate plenty of time and attention to the dogs in my care. I understand that every family has a different routine, so I do my best to accommodate your dog’s regular schedule rather than expecting them to adjust to mine. Whether your pup needs early morning or evening walks, frequent bathroom breaks, scheduled meals, medication, playtime or simply some extra companionship throughout the day, I’m happy to work around their needs. I’m available for weekdays, weekends and overnight care, including longer stays when arranged in advance. My goal is to provide reliable, consistent care that gives you peace of mind and keeps your dog’s routine as normal and comfortable as possible while you’re away. 🐾 Your dog’s safety, comfort and well-being will always be my top priority. With more than 20 years of experience with dogs, I understand that trust is earned — both with you and with your dog. I take the time to learn about each dog before caring for them, including their personality, routine, feeding schedule, medications, triggers, walking habits and any special needs. I will always follow your instructions closely and never assume that what works for one dog will work for another. I provide a calm, welcoming and dog-friendly environment where your pup can feel comfortable and secure. Dogs in my care receive plenty of supervision, attention and affection, and I’m careful with doors, leashes, walks and interactions with other animals. Communication is also extremely important to me. You can expect regular updates and photos, and I’ll never hesitate to contact you if I have a question or concern. I know you’re trusting me with a member of your family, and I take that responsibility seriously. My goal is for you to leave knowing your dog is in caring, dependable and experienced hands. 🐾❤️

About: I have grown up with animals all my life. I've trained my own dogs as well as other peoples kittens. I truly love animals of all kind. I get home around 3pm from work everyday and would have free evenings to take care of your pets. Weekends, I am typically available all day. I would be able to walk and check in on pets during those times. I currently have no pets in the house and have a fenced in backyard. I am also right beside a walking path and beach that I am sure your dogs would love.

About: I am currently in the Veterinary Technician program. This is beneficial since I have knowledge about heath and behaviour to best care for your pet’s individual needs I’ve cared for my own pets since I was 11. From guinea pigs and hamsters to dogs and geckos. I’ve gotten used to different feeding, schedules, cleaning schedules and unpredictable situations. I always make sure the pets have everything they need to be healthy, safe, comfortable, and entertained during the leave of their owners. I always leave the home as clean as it was when I first entered.

About: Having grown up with an English Springer Spaniel, I’ve had firsthand experience caring for dogs through every stage of life. In addition, I have many years of pet sitting and dog walking experience, working with energetic puppies as well as senior dogs who require a gentler, more attentive approach. I tailor my care to meet each pet’s individual needs — and their owner’s preferences — ensuring they feel safe, happy, and loved at all times. I’m comfortable with long walks, administering medication, reinforcing training, and providing consistent, reliable care. As a friendly and enthusiastic individual, I’ll always keep you in the loop with regular updates and photos for complete peace of mind. I look forward to getting to know your pet and supporting you in any way I can! I’m currently working M-F (8-4), with one day from home, but am available in the evenings and at weekends. I am very flexible in days and times and can be available on short notice. I am an extremely clean and respectful individual and take extra care when pet sitting in someone’s home. Safety and comfort are extremely important to me, I want your pet to feel at home, relaxed and safe in their environment and I am happy providing any services that help them achieve this.

About: I’ve spent my entire life loving pets, especially dogs, and taking every opportunity to interact with them! I’m the type of person who will stop and say hi to every dog she meets! I probably have as much energy as most dogs, and love getting to know pets and their owners :) I’m a student who spends most days looking for excuses to be outside! I’m a morning person, so my ideal morning starts with a warm travel mug, a long walk, and a great podcast! My home has a large, fenced-in backyard, and a park directly behind our house. We have one dog, plenty of toys, and lots of love for pets!

“Christine was our first catsitter, from Rover, with Mario and Luigi. I felt really good leaving for 5 days, knowing that we had an established schedule and a list of extra info for Christine. She did amazing! I had news/pics daily. I am so pleased with Christine’s care. I especially appreciated the daily entries in a journal left for me 🤩. It was fun to read! Thank you so so much Christine 😻😻”

“Jonny came to watch my 2 dogs and 3 cats while I was out of town for the evening and it went perfectly. I don't go out often because of the stress of a pet sitter, but Jonny did such a good job of making me comfortable and providing amazing care to my pets. My pets love him, even my shy cat that doesn't really like anyone. I will be booking with Jonny again!”

About: Dog mom of two who knows how much love and care pets need. I’ll make sure yours feel just as happy and loved as mine. Since I work from home, I can give pets plenty of attention throughout the day with walks, playtime, and company. My flexible schedule makes it easy to follow their routines and keep them happy. In my home, pets have plenty of space to roam and relax. With a fully fenced backyard, your dog can safely enjoy outdoor playtime and exercise throughout the day. Inside, I provide a comfortable, pet-friendly environment with cozy spots for lounging, plus plenty of toys and attention to keep them entertained. I maintain a clean, safe, and loving atmosphere where pets can feel at ease, whether they’re staying for a short visit or an extended stay.

About: With three years of experience working on a farm and taking care of love ones dogs and cats, I've had the pleasure of caring for a wide variety of animals, from the smallest kittens to the largest livestock. This hands-on background has given me a deep understanding of animal behavior and the skills to confidently look after pets of all sizes and breeds, ensuring they receive the best possible care. As a devoted stay-at-home dog mom, my days revolve around my furry family members. This means I'm always available to give your pup constant companionship, endless belly rubs, and all the attention they could ever want. My flexible schedule ensures they get regular walks, playtime, and a comforting presence throughout the day, just like my own dogs do. My home features a secure, fenced yard, offering a safe and fun space for your dog to play and explore. While I love giving pups plenty of freedom, I also understand that some dogs are more comfortable in a crate, or that it might be your preferred method. Rest assured, I'm fully prepared and able to provide a comfortable crating option if that's what your dog needs.

About: With 5 years of Veterinary Assistant experience, I provide calm, compassionate care tailored to each pet. I’m comfortable administering medications, monitoring health conditions, and giving extra time and patience to senior pets. I believe pets are happiest in their own familiar environment, so I care for them in their home where they feel safe and comfortable. I value routine and clear communication, and before each booking, I like to go over your pet’s routine, personality, and any important dos and don’ts. Safety is always my priority. For dogs, I avoid dog parks and interactions with unfamiliar dogs until I know their communication and comfort level. My goal is simple: to keep your pet happy, safe, comfortable, and cared for like family while you’re away. ❤️ I work strictly overnight shifts at an animal hospital, giving me flexible daytime availability to care for your pets with plenty of time and attention. I don’t care for pets in my own home because I strongly believe in the comfort and security of their familiar surroundings. When pet parents are away, I believe the least stressful option is for a sitter to come to them—allowing pets to stay in their own space, routine, and comfort zone.

About: I’ve been watching dogs for 7 years now. I love all types of dogs. But the first dog I ever got close to was a pitbull. He was the first over night dog sit/house sit. I ever did, the couple would travel often due to work. So I would dog sit about 2/3 times a week. I did that for about two years and gained a lot of experience with dogs due to that job. I also find dog walking a great way to stay healthy and active with out it feeling like a work out. I’ve enjoyed dogging sitting ever since I started and don’t plan to stop. So for now that I can’t get a dog of my own. I’ll just watch yours ! Just send me a message and ill send you my number so we can set up a meeting. Price is negotiable. I’m currently a full time student online so I’m looking to make cash while staying active and happy and what a better way than to pet sit. I’ve loved animal since I was a little girl so being around them always brings me joy and as you’ll see they take a liking to me as well. Even the pups you think won’t, always end up loving me as well. I live in a very spacious one bedroom apartment with a balcony alone so they always feel free and nice fresh air. There is a courtyard in my building that is dog friendly and three dog parks near my building as well. So they will always have room to run and be themselves. I am a full time online student so I would be spending my whole day with your pups. They would always be in great care with love and attention. I have a nice courtyard in my building that’s pet friendly and they can play and I also have three dog parks in my area. Where they can run around and meet new pups if allowed I am currently an full time online student so I would be with your pup the whole day. If you’d like to hear my specific daily routine let me know 😊 I usually stick to the routine a parent gives me so they can feel as comfortable as possible while staying with me or if I’m staying in their home.

About: I’ve always had a genuine love for dogs and I’m passionate about making sure every dog in my care feels safe, comfortable, and loved. 🐶❤️ I’m a patient and attentive pet caregiver who takes the time to understand each dog’s personality, routine, and individual needs. Whether your dog is energetic and loves long walks, a little shy and needs time to warm up, or simply enjoys some company and attention during the day, I’m happy to adapt to them. I’m especially comfortable with puppies, high-energy dogs, and dogs who need a little extra patience and reassurance. I understand that every dog is different, and I believe in positive reinforcement, gentle handling, and never rushing a dog beyond their comfort level. When your dog is with me, my priority is simple: their safety, happiness, and well-being. I’ll treat your pup like my own and keep you updated so you can feel completely comfortable while you’re away. 🐾💕 IG pawsandgrace26 My schedule allows me to dedicate my weekdays to pet care, especially during the daytime when many pet parents are at work. I’m available Monday through Friday from approximately 10 AM to 3 PM for dog walks, drop-in visits, and other pet-care needs. I’m also sometimes available on weekends depending on my schedule. I value consistency and reliability, so I’m happy to work with pet parents to establish a regular routine that works well for their pets. My priority is always the safety and well-being of every pet in my care. I carefully follow each pet parent’s instructions regarding feeding, walks, medications, routines, and any special needs. I provide a calm, clean, and comfortable environment and always keep pets supervised and secure. During walks, I use appropriate leashes and pay close attention to my surroundings and the pet’s behavior. I also make sure doors, gates, and other exits are secure so pets cannot accidentally escape. I treat every pet with patience, kindness, and respect, while keeping their normal routine as consistent as possible. I want both pets and their families to feel safe, comfortable, and confident in my care.

Liya was amazing with our cats while we were away! She was incredibly flexible, responsive, and kind from start to finish, which made being away from them so much less stressful. It was very clear from her updates that our kitties were comfortable, happy, and genuinely felt safe with her. She took such wonderful photos during her visits, and it was obvious she took the time to make them feel at ease and cared for. She even tidied up a bit around the house, which was so thoughtful and very appreciated.I would definitely recommend Liya to anyone looking for a caring, reliable, and attentive cat sitter!

FAQs for Pet Sitting - Clarence-Rockland

Frequently asked questions about Rover

The average cost of Pet Sitting in Clarence-Rockland is $22 per visit as of November 2026. Most bookings cost between $19 and $34 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.

There are 1,278 sitters on Rover for Pet Sitting in Clarence-Rockland. About 82% of Clarence-Rockland sitters can respond to requests in under 60 minutes. Whether you’re planning ahead for holidays, need last-minute care, or need same-day coverage for an urgent trip, you can message multiple sitters at once to find available care.

Once you find the right match, you can arrange a Meet & Greet to ensure they are a perfect fit for your pet’s personality before confirming.

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.

You can coordinate how much supervision you want directly with your sitter. While every sitter’s schedule varies, here are some examples of supervision by pet care service:

  • Boarding or doggy day care: Many sitters can provide frequent companionship because they design their day specifically around the pets in their care or work from home.
  • House sitting: Your sitter generally stays in your home for the requested duration, which may include overnight care. They may step out briefly to visit other pet clients, but your home remains their primary base.
  • Drop-in visits or dog walking: These can be scheduled in 30- or 60-minute windows (and can be shorter or longer at your request) to help your pet receive dedicated attention and care during those specific times.

Interested in constant or 24/7 care? This service often incurs an additional fee but many sitters are happy to discuss this option with you.

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 Clarence-Rockland 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 do not have any disqualifying offences.

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.

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.

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.

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.

Payment is handled securely through Rover. For a one-time booking, your payment method is charged at the time of checkout when you submit your booking request. This charge will include fees payable to Rover. Your booking is confirmed once the sitter accepts it.

If the request is not accepted, the pending charge is released in 1-7 days. How long it takes to disappear from your account depends on your payment provider.

For eligible recurring weekly services, you are charged for the first week when you book and then each Monday for the upcoming week. You’ll see the full price before you confirm. Always pay through Rover so your booking remains eligible for the Rover Guarantee and support.

Yes, you can find sitters who have experience administering medication or managing dietary requirements. On Rover:

  • 84% of sitters can help with special care needs
  • 88% can help with giving oral medications or injections
  • 92% 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.
