“Christine was amazing! We have a very nervous pup and Christine worked with us to make sure our dog was comfortable with her before we went away - it much appreciated.”
“Elizabeth is a gem. I had to go away for a week and wanted a house sitter who would be able to handle my fragile, high maintenance 16-year-old Golden. I really didn't think it would be possible to find anybody up to the task but I came home to find a thriving dog. Elizabeth really knows her stuff and her love for animals is obviously deep and genuine. She's also very pleasant around people!”
“Brigid is wonderful! She keeps me posted when she checks in and gives me picture updated of Luna! It makes me feel assured that my girl is getting love and care while I am at work. Thank you Brigid!”
“I can not say enough about Christy. We first hired her shortly after bringing home our two new kittens, Walter and Winston, and trusting someone with brand-new kittens wasn’t an easy decision. From the very first visit, it was obvious how comfortable and experienced she is with cats. She didn’t just stop in to feed them—she spent the entire visit playing with them, giving them attention, and making sure they were happy and comfortable. We’ve now trusted Christy to care for the boys on multiple trips and she’s been wonderful every time. She sends thoughtful updates and photos after every visit, which gives us so much peace of mind while we’re away. She also goes above and beyond in ways she never has to. She brought in several large, heavy packages, emptied our Litter Genie, and always made sure everything was taken care of before she left. If you’re looking for someone who genuinely loves cats and treats them like they’re her own, I wouldn’t hesitate to recommend Christy. We’ll absolutely continue booking with her whenever we travel.”
About: Animals have been a part of my life since childhood, from our show dog who was an Irish Wolfhound to being a rescue mom to smaller terriers. I have cared for horses, chickens, bunnies which included pets with special handicaps. With deep empathy and natural connection, I understand animals on an intuitive level. I have trained puppies, comforted seniors and welcomed countless creatures who somehow find their way to my home. Your pet will find a home away from home here with me, safe, loving-and I look forward to offering the same love I show all animals to your beloved pet. All the animals in my home live in harmony together. Some visitors marvel at that fact but it's how I treat each animal with love and care that fosters this environment. All needs are met and everyone is happy! I am home during the day and available to provide attentive care for your pet. I may step out briefly for errands or other chores but will ensure your pet's needs are fully met and they get plenty of company and care. Our home is on one acre with a fenced in yard and great area for walking with lots of trees in a peaceful setting. I have a senior dog (17 yo) that loves company. We also have cats which are friendly and curious.
“I couldn’t have asked for a better sitter for my 2 dogs, Ender and Petra. From the very start, communication was excellent. Maria was responsive, attentive, and made sure to keep me up to date. I reviewed photos and saw how happy and relaxed both pups were. I wholeheartedly recommend her to anyone looking for someone trustworthy, kind, and professional. Will certainly book again! 🐾”
“Tatiana was wonderful with my cats and would definitely get her to sit them again. She's very diligent, thorough, and reliable. She goes beyond what is expected of her. Always sent very good pictures, videos, and summary of her time spent with my kitties.”
“Kathleen was recommended to me by a friend a few months ago and has been consistently reliable and excellent. Unfortunately I am moving out of NY state now, and the last several weeks have been hectic but I am forever grateful for her service!”
“Joannie is a kind and nurturing. She was respectful of my shy guys comfort zone and took good care of my little dog. Joannie did drop in visits for my older timid Yorkie and worked hard to try to win him over. Would recommend her and plan to use again in future.”

I have over 20 years of hands-on experience, including dog kennel work, walking, daycare, and overnight sitting.

Just need a heads up of your desired schedule for your pups needs to plan ahead. Full fenced 1/2 acre yard with my own giant breed dog who is friendly and loves to play. XL crate available for use if needed. My home is their home while they’re staying with me!
“Eric was very communicative and made sure to share photos and play with my cats while I was gone. Gave me a lot of peace of mind knowing he was stopping by at the times I requested to give them attention, especially since it was a bit out of his way.”

“Kerri goes the extra mile with our pets, making sure all are cared for, fed, and attended to. She responds quickly and has always been available even when last minute. Couldn't recommend Kerri more.”
“Joe was great with our cat, Grits and very communicative while we were away. We came back to a happy cat and everything as we left it. Thank you so much for the peace of mind on our trip, Joe!”

Pet parents share their Rover experiences - Chestnut Ridge
Alice was amazing caring for our 2 cats and 1 dog. While sitting for us, our dog had a medical emergency and she couldn't reach my husband and I. She took the initiative to call the vet and bring him in for care. She went above and beyond to ensure he was OK, and kept us informed of how he was doing until we got back home the next day. We highly recommend Alice - she is kind, responsible and communicative!

A pet sitter can provide focused care sessions, help your pet’s routine stay on track, or keep you updated on your pet’s mood and energy levels.
Whether you’re at the office for the day or traveling for a few nights, a pet sitter can offer potty breaks during a Chestnut Ridge stroll, cleaning the litter box, or making sure your pet has on-time food or water refills. For daytime services like walking and drop-ins, you can also request sitters to send a report card with every visit.
Tip: You can discuss your specific arrangements with a pet sitter on Rover to what fits you, your pet, and your sitter’s needs. To find what their special skills are, look at the "Skills" and "Pet care experience" sections on their profile.
If you would like updates while you’re away, you can discuss with your sitter how many or how frequent you’d like those updates to be. The Rover app allows sitters to send photos, videos, and messages about your pet, including how many pee or poop breaks occurred. You can message your sitter at any time through the app and our support team is available 24/7 by email or chat if you have concerns.
The personalized, in-home nature of pet care through Rover can mean more individual attention for your pet.
Many pet parents provide a spare key or arrange a lockbox. You can also exchange keys during the Meet & Greet and show your walker how to use digital fobs or personalized codes. It helps to arrange access to your home, from spare keys to concierge introductions, before pet care begins.
If you live in an apartment or condo, don’t forget to discuss details like buzzer access, codes, or elevator etiquette. These details can help a pet sitter feel more comfortable going in and out of your building.
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 .
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.
Yes, you can find sitters who have experience with handling special pet needs in Chestnut Ridge. On Rover:
- 88% of sitters can help with special care needs
- 92% can help with giving oral medications or injections
- 96% 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.
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.
