“We have had Max for 6 years and have always been lucky to have a family member nearby, until now. Elizabeth was amazing! Max fell in love with her during their first meeting. She stayed at the house and walked, fed and played with him. While we were away, she would check in at least 2x per day with a message from Max and pictures, which put my mind at ease immediately. Max was happy and healthy when we got home. We look forward to having Max's new BFF come to take care of him again!!”
“Eric was a fantastic dog sitter He took my dogs to the park got caught in rain yet to manage to get them toweled off and dry. He was very pleasant and responsive to communications. Would definitely recommend him again.”
“Yhakerra was so attentive and extremely caring towards both my fur babies. It was not easy either because both my kitties are in separate spaces of the house due to one of them chasing the other and hissing/growling. However, Yhakerra did amazing and handled the separate feedings/litter cleanings like a pro. She also left the house very clean and immaculate. She was even so caring that she asked if she could carry the youngest baby, Luna to the bedroom and let her sleep in the bed, which of course I was so touched that she was so sweet to accommodate the well being of the babies. She had to move her litterbox and food bowls. I highly recommend Yhakerra and will be booking her again in the future. Thank you so much Yhakerra, I’m so thankful to have had you care for my babies.”
“Brandon F. was FANTASTIC! He gave regular updates and sent photos of our Lucy to us. It was so great to be able to relax and know that our beloved pet was in good hands with Brandon. Would absolutely book him again!”
“Ellie watched our two dogs for the day. She was great! Very responsive, kind, arrived on time, sent us photos cuddling with our pets and sent updates throughout the stay. I would highly recommend!”
“Thank you Julia for taking such good care of Foxy! Once again, we came home to a clean house and a happy dog. Say no more! Julia is so reliable Consistent and conscientious. Thank you Julia!!”
About: I love animals, grew up with them since I was a baby, Cats, Dogs, Lizards, Fish, and Birds. I think to me they are people with fur. I love meeting new animals and getting to know them and play with and taking care of them. If I had tell you once thing that makes me who I am, is my heart. I always give 110 percent and I am very upbeat and caring. I am an award-winning filmmaker, writer, and actress, and this is the puurfect side hustle for me! I don’t have a typical 9-to-5 schedule, and my hours are always changing depending on which project I’m working on. This gives me the flexibility to provide loving care and attention to your kitty or dog when you need it most. I would prefer to come to your home so your pet can stay in their own familiar environment, where they feel safe, secure, and comfortable. I would always follow the instructions and routines you provide first. If you don’t have any specific instructions, I like to let the pet set the pace. With cats, I’ll give them space and let them come to me when they’re ready. I’ll feed them according to the schedule you recommend, and I’ll spend time getting to know their personality and seeing what they enjoy. If they want to play, I’ll play with them! If they prefer to relax, I’ll let them do their thing while keeping a watchful eye on them and making sure they’re happy and comfortable. For dogs, I’ll make sure they get plenty of exercise and attention. I’ll take them for walks and, when appropriate, we can visit a nearby park to help them burn off some energy. I’ll make sure they have fresh water and food, and I also enjoy working on fun training exercises and basic commands such as sit, down, and paw. This gives them a chance to exercise both their body and their mind. After some play and training, we’ll go for another walk to help them wind down and get ready for bedtime. And if you have me stay over to the next day I will work on a schedule you set forward. Depending on what type of dog breeds need different type of support.
“Becky was amazing as a live-in cat sitter for my elderly cat!! She was able to give him pills and inhalers easily. She sent me frequent updates and left my home spotless. Can’t recommend enough!!”
About: I have 20+ years of pet boarding, pet sitting, dog walking and now my whole family shares the love - and some of the responsibilities! I am experienced with dogs, cats, guinea pigs and other small creatures! I view all pets as family members. I live in NY and looking for a house sitting gig during my trip to Arizona during this spring break. My schedule is flexible - I am planning to take our four legged friends on lots of adventures outdoors. I work from home and my schedule is flexible so I spend most time with our furry clients.I can’t wait to go on a walk or play with my furry clients! We are happy to come to your home or board your pets in our home. We don't have a fenced in yard but we frequent the dog park and the park near-by. In my day job I regularly work with NYPD, the court system and other federal and state agencies - therefore I have a high level security clearance.
About: In addition to having my own family dog, I grew up taking care of other family & neighbors’ pets. This included regular walks, feeding, and overnight care. I’ve now been doing Rover for the last 6 years, taking care of dozens of dogs and cats, most of which return for recurring care — from drops ins to daycare and week+ long overnight stays. I work from home full time, so I can spend time with and be available for pets throughout the entire day. I have a very flexible schedule that allows me to stay with pets all day or drop in as needed. I’m a very attentive pet lover - always playing with/petting them. Odds are I’ll pay more attention to them than my job during work hours.

About: Hi! My name is Christina. I grew up having a Siberian Husky named Tonya and later a Bichon Frise named Daquiri. Pets have always been a part of my life. In my early 20's I took an incentive to relocate down south where I adopted Franky, a pitbull/husky mix puppy. Anyone who knows me knows that my world revolved around my dog. If my dog couldn't come, I wasn't going. 'You won't ever see Chris without that dog, who brings a dog to a hair appointment?" Yup.. that's me. Franky had such an impact on my life that she even was responsible for steering my career. Formerly regional leadership for Banfield Pet Hospital I was responsible for Learning and Development for the largest veterinary practice in the world with over 900 hospitals in 51 markets. (Annnd... Yes, my dog got to come to work with me!) My best friends and former colleagues range from medical directors within the veterinary field to Brandon Mcmillan from CBS Lucky Dog (animal trainer). There's no shortage of emergency contacts in my phone to reach out to which came in handy when Franky, my 17yr old Pitbull/Husky was diagnosed with a brain tumor. Almost 9 months ago now I made the heart wrenching decision to have Lap of Love come to my home and end Franky's suffering when it was clear she was losing her battle with cancer. It's bringing tears to my eyes now and I don't want to be the most depressing profile which leads me to you. While i'm not quite ready for another dog of my own as no one can replace Franky, I get so much enjoyment from being around animals that watching other peoples' pets has been healing and a source of comfort. I think it's safe to say I was a little over protective and needed my own pet sitter when traveling to and from headquarters in Portland, Oregon. At the time, Deb was a God send and I was so grateful to have found someone who understood me and my pet and I hope that I can be that to you and yours! I'm excited to meet you both! After leaving Banfield as a result of increased travel I went into business for myself. I currently only work from home and no more than a couple days a week. As you can imagine it can get lonely and I look forward to having your pet come stay with me. I try to stay active and walk daily to a nearby hiking trail. It's a good walk it takes about an hour and there is a dog park within the trail which is nice for dogs who get along well with others and are healthy enough to participate. Even when they don't get along with others sometimes if you go in the evening closer to dusk the park is empty and its nice to play fetch within the fenced in area. I live in an apartment but don't allow that to fool you, we have a huge courtyard and as I mentioned there is a hiking trail and dog park nearby to keep busy.
“Kristine was truly great. She dog/house sat for over a week and kept us informed of our pup’s doings everyday (with pictures). Our home was just as we left it. We couldn’t have asked for more and will be hiring Kristine again for our next trip.”
“We are so happy that we found Maggie to stay with our dogs. She was a great house guest, and took such great care of our two dogs, with frequent walks and time outside playing fetch. She was really communicative and proactive, which we also appreciated. Our dogs are excited for her to come back again in the future!”
“Flower did a great job house sitting and caring for Willie and Molly for 5 days, she sent photos and videos daily. They played and had meals and snuggles and treats. My dogs love her.”

Pet parents share their Rover experiences - Congers
Kerra stayed at our house for 10 days and nights. She was communicative, clean, and took good care of our quirky dog and cat. We have never left them at home for that long, and it was great to have someone experienced with pet care to ease our anxieties. We highly recommend Kerra!
Melaina did house sitting for our two dogs, one of them is blind and senior and needed special attention and medication. Melaina went above and beyond to keep them comfortable. She was prompt in her communication, always on time starting from meet and greet and during her 3 night stay. She kept us posted with timely updates and took really good care of the house!
Maria was one of the best sitters I've ever had! She was knowledgeable about how to care for senior dogs and took exceptional care of my senior dog, who requires a bit more attention. She followed all care instructions carefully and made sure my dog was comfortable, safe, and happy the entire time. On top of that, she kept my home incredibly neat and tidy and respected my home. It gave me real peace of mind knowing both my dog and my home were in such good hands. I highly recommend Maria to anyone looking for a reliable, thoughtful, and truly caring dog sitter.
We were so fortunate to have had Ivan watch our puppy for a weekend! We learned so much from Ivan’s expertise as he generously shared so much training knowledge with us. He took excellent care of our puppy, took him on many adventures, and we came home to the happiest dog! Would highly recommend any of his services to others.

Frequently asked questions about Rover
The average cost for House Sitting in Congers on Rover is $65.49 per night (as of September 2026). However, all sitters set their own rates based on experience, location, and availability.
Rover makes budgeting the cost of House Sitting easy. As long as your dates and pet profiles are correct, the price you see before you book is the same price you pay for House Sitting. For more information on service fees, click here .
As of September 2026, there are 18,076 sitters on Rover offering House Sitting across Congers. 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 Congers 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 Congers 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 Congers 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 Congers. On Rover:
- 89% of sitters can help with special care needs
- 93% can help with giving oral medications or injections
- 97% 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.
