Ashley is so helpful and so kind. My senior dog is downright high maintenance, and she took special care of him and the others, too. Highest recommendation!

Alyssa is great! My pets and home were well cared for. My dog gets pretty anxious when I go out of town but he seemed very calm and relaxed when I came back. He seemed like he had a great time with Alyssa!

Mariah did an excellent job watching Joey overnight while we were out of town. She was on-time, very communicative and provided pictures while we were away. Would definitely recommend and plan to use her again for when we need to go out of town.

Sally did an amazing job house and pet sitting for my two dogs and two cats. She takes care of your house and your pets like they are her own. She was in frequent contact, sending pictures and messages which I very much appreciated. I already confirmed her to pet sit for me again in September. I highly recommend Sally for house and pet sitting. She did an outstanding job with my two dogs, two cats and house.

About: Hello there, fellow pet parents! I’m Taylor and I can’t wait to meet your furry, feathery, and scaly companions! I have spent as much of my life as I can remember caring for and being around all types of animals. Honestly being around animals just makes me the happiest I could be. I have 5 rescue animals of my own! 2 dogs, 2 Cats, and a bird! All of which I rescued not from a shelter but by very happy coincidences! I work part time at a boarding facility so I’m with animals not just at home but at work as well!! I work remote for my full time job half the week so my availability is pretty open. As I work at a boarding facility I have a wealth of experience when it comes to a wide verity of pets. I understand the importances of feeding times, administration of medication, and routines in general. Your pets health and safety is my top priority. I know when I am away from my animals I love getting updates so I believe communication is key. I love sending photos and updates so when you’re not there you can still feel with them! I am dedicated to providing the service that I would want for my pet family. Your pets happiness is my top priority! I am very excited to meet your pets! I work remote half of the week so I have plenty of time to spend with your animals on the other days I can be there before and after my shift. I will treat your dog and your home as if it were my own. I follow the established routine provided by the owner to ensure a stress free and fun time

About: Hi! My name is Andrea. I have lived in the Hudson Valley for almost 4 years now, and have been working in the area off and on since 2014. I live with my partner, Mike, and precious pups Kona and Desi. I have always lived with dogs. I am an Occupational Therapist in a school district full time and love to farm and bicycle during my off time. I’ve done house sitting and dog sitting previously and enjoyed the work. I have my own vehicle and am used to commuting around the Hudson Valley for work and for fun. I wanted to get back into dog sitting and pet sitting to assist in getting a new car and to get to spend time with pets! I have always been obsessed with dogs! I show that through meeting as many as I can when out in the community :). I am active person, so long walks and playing is something I can provide. I am open to any requests you might have and am great at keeping in touch with pet parents. I can always be available through text, call, or email. I’m so excited to meet you and your lovely pets!! I have a full time job, so weekends are my only availability. However, I am open to discuss any special circumstances! I might potentially be more available on a long weekend, when I am off from my school based job. I would want to care for your pets as you would or how you would want. I am great with a schedule and specific requests.

About: I’m an experienced house and pet sitter with multiple 5-star reviews from previous pet-sitting experiences. I’ve cared for dogs, cats, and homes in NYC and beyond, and I’m excited to bring that same reliable, attentive care to Rover! I’ve had my big baby boy “Rocky”; German shepherd dog for 15 years, so I have a lot of experience and comfortable taking care of and handling big and reactive dogs. I also grew up with Stella (a small Chihuahua mix) and Sesame and Leo (2 cats ) so I also have experience with cats and smaller dogs and still sit with them when I visit my mom back in California! I love all animals tho; if an opportunity came to take care of an animal other than a cat or a dog I’d be happy to learn and sit with them! :) I am a freelance editorial art director. I only do sits when I know I’m working from home or between projects, since spending time with animals genuinely makes me happy until it’s the right time for me to have my own again. I make sure to gain their trust on their own terms, letting them approach me when they feel ready and comfortable. Then I give them lots of affection and attention while following my client’s directions. I’m always attentive to how your pet feels and behaves and will keep you updated as you’d like.

This was Nina’s first time watching my dog Orla. She arrived right on time and immediately offered to help me with her since I was getting ready to go to a doctor’s appointment and running a little late.. She took Orla for a nice walk and sent me several pictures during her stay. Orla was very comfortable with Nina. I will definitely ask her to come back again.

About: I’ve had my own animals, both cats and dogs (mainly cats) since I was 6 years old. I’ve had to administer insulin before to my diabetic cat that has since passed. My experience with dogs are mainly of the bigger size (I had a pitbull/boxer mix and a pure bred chow chow). I’m currently working as a Direct Support Professional overnights 9pm-9am Thursday through Saturday (technically Sunday 9am). So I’m pretty open for picking up last minute gigs if needed. I would love to have a break down of your pets day to day. Typically when they are most ready to play or eat. When potty breaks need to be done around.

About: I had over ten dogs growing up, both large and small, and have had three cats. All have lived to an old age and had a wonderful quality of life! I work from 7am-3pm Monday-Friday with occasional work from homes, so I can provide pet care in the early morning and/or afternoon/evening! On weekends, I am flexible! I focus on building trust and affection with pets, ensuring play time and pets are on their terms, giving space as needed! I am big on safety and keeping a watchful eye on them.

Brenna was an amazing pet sitter for us. We have two dogs, both seniors, and one with significant health issues. It is always hard to leave him but had our son's wedding in Canada to attend. Brenna sent constant updates and photos to ease our mind while away. They were very well cared for and loved. I would use Brenna again in a heart beat!

About: Hi! I'm a dependable, caring, and detail-oriented pet sitter who understands that every pet deserves to feel safe, comfortable, and loved while their owner is away. Whether your pet needs overnight care, drop-in visits, walks, feeding, playtime, or companionship, I'll treat them as if they were my own. I'm happy to follow your pet's routine, including feeding schedules, exercise, administering oral medications if needed, and providing regular photo and video updates so you can have peace of mind while you're away. I've looked after pets with different personalities and energy levels. My responsibilities have included feeding, walking, playtime, maintaining routines, providing plenty of affection, cleaning up after pets, and making sure they felt comfortable while their owners were away. I understand how important consistency and patience are when caring for animals, and I always strive to create a calm, positive environment where pets feel secure. Outside of pet sitting, I'm a pharmacy student, which has strengthened my attention to detail, responsibility, and ability to follow instructions carefully. I know how important it is to be reliable, communicate clearly, and respond promptly. If your pet has specific routines or special care instructions, you can trust that I'll follow them closely. I currently work part-time and have a flexible schedule, allowing me to dedicate quality time to the pets in my care. My availability includes mornings, evenings, weekends, and many weekdays. I plan my commitments carefully so that every pet receives the attention, exercise, potty breaks, and companionship they need. My goal is to make your time away as stress-free as possible, for both you and your pet. I look forward to meeting you and your furry family member! I currently work part-time, which gives me a flexible schedule for pet care! I’m available for dog walks, drop-in visits, and pet sitting throughout the week. I do my best to accommodate last-minute requests whenever possible. I care for every dog as if they were my own. In my home, I’ll provide a safe, clean, and loving environment with plenty of playtime, walks, potty breaks, fresh water, and lots of attention. I have an open yard for supervised outdoor time and a nearby park for fun walks and exercise. When caring for your pup in your home, I’ll stick closely to their normal routine to help them feel comfortable. I’ll follow feeding schedules, administer medications if needed, provide walks, playtime, cuddles, and keep your home tidy while you’re away. I’ll also send regular photo and video updates so you can have peace of mind knowing your furry friend is happy and well cared for.

FAQs for House Sitting - Chatham Center

Frequently asked questions about Rover

As of August 2026, there are 500 sitters on Rover offering House Sitting across Chatham Center. 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 Chatham Center 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 Chatham Center 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 Chatham Center 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 Chatham Center. On Rover:

  • 93% of sitters can help with special care needs
  • 98% can help with giving oral medications or injections
  • 98% 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.
