About: I’ve had experience with larger breeds. I had an Airedale terrier growing up and had a large golden doodle who was almost 100 pounds so I’m a big fan of big dogs! I’m able to walk larger dogs with ease and have experience with food sensitive dogs as my doodle was allergic to just about everything. I’m available to do dog sitting pretty much whenever. I work from home full time so I am able to provide a lot of attention to any of my dog guests who stay with me and my husband. Dog walking I’m available most evenings and weekends with access to dog parks in my area if you are comfortable with me bringing your buddy there to play! I’m passionate about dogs and would love to use some extra time caring and tending to them! I’m new to caring for others dogs but not new to loving them - thanks for considering me to care for your best friend! I work from home full time so any dog that stays with me is a huge part of my schedule and routine! I can provide lots of daily walks and special attention for those who need a little extra love! It’s important for me to know what the rules and routine are at home! We try to keep things are normal as possible and not instill any bad habits when they are in our care! They get free reign of our home and we also have cameras to keep an eye on things if we aren’t home!

About: I have a love for animals and it shows in my level of care. I am a future veterinarian. Growing up my house always resembled a zoo, I’ve had dogs , cats, rabbits , turtles, fish , iguanas , birds, and even a crow. Yes a crow! Lol. I was always that person to bring home animals and take care of them whether I asked my mother if I can have them or not. I’m a caring soul with a caring heart and I hope to see and connect with you and your fur baby soon. A side from being a mother my other full time job would be this. I have a large amount of free time so my schedule is open. As things start to pick up availability is subject to change. I offer a safe and controlled home for your fur baby to relax comfortably. My home is clean and animal friendly. Plently of space for long walks and new scents.

About: I have had dogs my whole life, from pittys to shih tzus. I also worked at a dog daycare facility for about 2 years. I’ve also watched friends and families dogs and cats throughout the years, I figured I would extend my network further on Rover! Excited to watch your loved one next! I work from home on Mondays and Fridays and available before or after my 9-5 Tuesday-Thursdays. I am lucky to be a morning person, and have my own car for ease of access. I always care for others homes like my own, even better at times. I also love to leave the space better than I found it. I am grateful for the trust you leave with me for your fur baby and your home.

About: I started walking my neighbors’ dogs, then my friends’ dogs and then my family's dogs. Walking dogs was becoming an extremely joyful experience for me. I was able to gain knowledge on different type of breeds and the amount of dogs I walked had gradually increased. Whenever owners would go on vacation, I realized that I was the first person they would contact. They appreciated how I attended their dogs with love and care. I have a clientele that has been with me for more than 3 years. I am able to stay home and tend to the pups full-time. I have a fully fenced yard as well as activities/toys for them to play with. I also have multiple crates and beds for the dogs to lay in.

About: I've been surrounded by animals my entire life and have experience caring for dogs, cats, rabbits, guinea pigs, and horses. Through my involvement in 4-H, where I served as president of my club, I developed strong animal care skills, leadership experience, and a deep appreciation for responsible pet ownership. Growing up, I regularly helped care for family pets and spent time dog walking for neighbors. During high school and college, I provided drop-in visits for pets, helping with feeding, walks, playtime, and companionship. I'm currently a proud dog mom to my hound mix, Choco, which keeps me active and helps me stay in tune with dogs' individual needs and personalities. I understand that every pet is different, and I take the time to make them feel safe, comfortable, and loved while you're away. What sets me apart is my lifelong experience with a variety of animals, my reliability, and my genuine love for pets. Whether your pet enjoys long walks, playtime, cuddles, or simply a calm and reassuring presence, I'll provide attentive care and treat them like part of my own family. Beginning this fall, I'll be a law student, but my schedule still allows me to provide reliable pet care throughout the week. I have excellent availability on weekends and am generally available in the late afternoons and evenings on weekdays. I also expect to have availability for early morning visits before class and occasional drop-in visits between classes, depending on my daily schedule. Because my class schedule varies, I'm happy to communicate and work with pet parents to find times that fit their needs. Whether your pet needs a walk, a drop-in visit, feeding, playtime, or companionship, I'll do my best to provide flexible, dependable care. I understand how important it is for pets to feel safe and comfortable in their environment. As the owner of an anxious dog, Choco, I know that every pet has different needs and that changes in routine can sometimes be stressful. I take the time to learn each pet's personality, preferences, and routines so I can provide care that helps them feel secure and at ease. When caring for pets in a client's home, I strive to maintain their normal routine as closely as possible, including feeding schedules, walks, playtime, and any special instructions. I pay close attention to safety by ensuring doors, gates, and leashes are secure and by keeping a watchful eye on pets during walks and outdoor time. My goal is to create a calm, positive experience for every pet by being patient, attentive, and respectful of their boundaries. Whether a pet is energetic and social or shy and anxious, I'll provide compassionate care and treat them as if they were my own.

“Hannah is absolutely amazing! She took exceptional care of my two dogs, Max and Romeo, and they both adored her from the moment she walked in. Her kindness and warmth were immediately evident, and I could see how comfortable my dogs felt around her. Hannah went above and beyond to ensure they were happy, and received plenty of attention and playtime. It’s clear she genuinely loves animals, and her gentle approach made such a positive impact. I couldn’t have asked for a more caring and responsible pet sitter. Highly recommend Hannah for anyone looking for someone who will treat their pets like family!”

About: I’ve always loved being around animals and making sure they feel safe and cared for. Over the years, I’ve pet-sat on the side for friends and neighbors—it’s more of a hobby than a job because I genuinely enjoy spending time with animals. I’m reliable, patient, and happy to help with walks, playtime, feeding, or keeping a routine. I make sure each pet feels comfortable, cared for, and loved while their owner is away. I work a 9–5, but spending time with animals is genuinely one of my favorite things! I’m usually available in the mornings, evenings, and on weekends, and since I work from home three days a week, I have flexibility for midday visits, walks, and playtime, too. I’m happy to help with drop-in visits for cats and dogs, dog walks, and daytime pet and house check-ins while you’re away. I don’t offer overnight stays, but I’ll make sure your pets get plenty of attention and care during our time together! Your pet’s comfort and safety are always my priority. I know it can be hard to leave your pets when you’re away, so I want you to feel confident they’re in good hands. I care for pets in their own homes, where they can stick to their familiar routines and feel comfortable in their space. I’ll follow your instructions closely, from feeding schedules and walks to medications or any little quirks that make your pet unique. I’m happy to give energetic pets plenty of playtime or let more independent pets warm up at their own pace. You’ll also get regular photo and message updates, so you always know how things are going!

About: Animals have always been a huge part of my life! I’ve had both dogs and cats for as long as I can remember and have been caring for different breeds on my own since my teenage years. Friends and family regularly trust me with their pets, and I’m also a proud dog parent to Bob and cat parent to Nathan! I truly love animals and would be delighted to care for your furry family members while you’re away. I’m a real estate agent serving Westchester, NYC, and Long Island, which gives me a very flexible schedule. While most of my showings are on weekends, I work remotely during the week and can be fully present with your pets. I’m happy to provide overnight care as well, so your furry friends (and your home) are safe, comfortable, and well looked after while you’re away. Your pet’s comfort and routine come first. In your home, I follow your care instructions closely — feeding, walks, litter care, medications, and of course plenty of love and playtime. I aim to keep everything feeling normal and stress-free while you’re away. If pets stay with me, they receive constant supervision, a clean and cozy environment, and lots of enrichment and attention. I’m very attentive to each animal’s personality and needs. I also send regular photo and video updates so you always know how your furry friend is doing.

About: Hi! I'm Chaqutia, the person behind C's Cozy Canine Club! I'm an animal lover with 12 years of pet care experience, and I genuinely enjoy getting to know each pet's unique personality, needs, and routine. I believe pets are family, and they deserve to feel safe, comfortable, and loved even when their favorite people aren't home. I have experience caring for puppies, adult dogs, and senior pets, including administering oral medications and providing extra attention to pets who need a little more patience and TLC. I also offer cat care! I currently specialize in care where your pets feel most comfortable: their own home. Whether you need overnight house sitting, a midday drop-in, or someone to take your pup on a refreshing walk, I'll make sure their routine receives the attention it deserves. You can also expect regular pictures, videos, and updates because I know how reassuring it is to see your babies happy and doing well while you're away. Beyond pet care, I'm happy to help with small household tasks such as watering plants and bringing in mail or packages upon request. I look forward to meeting you and becoming someone you and your furry family can count on! A little more about my care style: Patient, attentive, dependable, and always tailored to the individual pet. Every animal deserves to feel like family. 🐾 As a stay at home mom of two, I have a flexible daily routine that allows me to accommodate pet care visits, scheduled walks, and overnight house sitting. I enjoy incorporating pet care into my schedule and making sure each pet receives the attention, exercise, and companionship they need. I prioritize reliability and communication, so I work with pet parents to establish a schedule that fits their pets' routines and expectations. Whether it's a morning walk, an afternoon drop-in, or overnight care, I want you to feel confident knowing your pets are in caring hands. Since I specialize in in-home pet care, I focus on making sure your pets feel comfortable and secure in their own familiar environment. I follow your instructions closely, maintain established routines, and take the time to understand your pet's individual needs, personality, and any special care requirements. Safety is always a priority. I make sure doors, gates, leashes, and feeding areas are handled properly, medications are administered according to your instructions, and your home is treated with the utmost respect. I also believe communication is an important part of trust. You'll receive regular updates, pictures, and videos so you can stay connected with your pets while you're away.

About: Hi there! My name is Antonia, and I’ve been passionate about caring for animals my whole life. Growing up, I was surrounded by dogs of all sizes and personalities, which gave me a deep understanding of their needs and unique traits. My love for animals extended beyond my home, leading me to volunteer at the SPCA, where I gained valuable hands-on experience working with dogs of all breeds and temperaments. From playful pups to senior dogs needing extra TLC, I’m confident in providing the care and attention your furry family member deserves. Whether it's long walks, fun playtime, or just some good company, I’m here to make sure your pet feels loved and cared for. When you choose me as your pet sitter or walker, you can trust that your dog will be in compassionate and experienced hands. Let me help give your pet the love and care they deserve while you’re away! As someone who works from home, pet care fits seamlessly into my daily routine. My flexible schedule allows me to provide consistent attention, walks, and playtime throughout the day. I’m available for morning, midday, and evening care, ensuring your pet’s needs are met whether it’s feeding, exercise, or simply keeping them company. My routine is adaptable, so I can easily adjust to accommodate your pet’s specific schedule and preferences. Caring for pets is a responsibility I take seriously, and I always prioritize their safety and comfort. Whether in my home or yours, I ensure a secure, pet-friendly environment where they can thrive. I follow any instructions you provide, including feeding schedules, exercise routines, and special care needs, to maintain consistency for your pet. In your home, I respect your space and ensure your pet is well cared for in familiar surroundings. I pay close attention to safety, such as keeping doors and gates securely closed and monitoring your pet during walks or playtime. If your pet is staying in my home, I create a stress-free, cozy environment tailored to their needs. My home is free from hazards, and I make sure they have plenty of room to play, rest, and feel at ease. I also keep a close eye on them throughout the day, ensuring they’re safe, happy, and receiving plenty of attention. By communicating openly and keeping you updated with photos and messages, I aim to build trust and give you peace of mind, knowing your pet is in experienced and caring hands.

About: Looking to help people with their doggy pet care needs! I had my dog Buddy for 15 years since he passed a couple of years ago, he was my everything, so know how important it is to have someone care for your pet like they are part of your family ❤️Went thru all the stages of life with him from training to his elder days of taking care with doggy dimentia and incontinence issues.I’ve also been around and helped my family and friends with their dogs and cats and put my love into doing that ❤️I’m great with walking , feeding, and just overall play with animals and enjoy it as much as they do, I really take pride and care in each pet I’m watching and treat them as if they were my family. I work a part time job in an acupuncture office doing front desk so have a lot of free time to help out and walk dogs or take care of them during the day for people. I also have my own condo so can also have pets stay and take care of or I can go to houses to pet sit that are not to far away. I don’t have any other pets at the moment and live alone so a safe and good environment, I live in a complex that is pet friendly and a lot of areas outside to walk and play .

About: My family is proud to have adopted several dogs from local shelters and make them a part of our family. When our Ziggy (Golden Retriever) passed away in 2017 after 9 years, we picked up Loki (a black lab mix) and he's bringing us joy on a daily basis. Since I moved away to start medical school, I have been looking for ways to connect with animals, and this has included going to visit friends with dogs and cats, and is also the reason I've signed up with Rover! I look forward to meeting your lovely pets, and to working with you! The best options for me will be dog-walking or house-sitting considering my school schedule, but mornings/evenings would probably work best for me. However, I don't have a set schedule, so there is possible availability at any time during the day, depending on what mandatory events I need to attend. I am unable to care for pets in my home but I am happy to house-sit. I can ensure that your pet is getting the proper amount of water, food, exercise, rest, and attention for the entire time I am booked.

Tamette and Ahn were wonderful with Daisy when they stopped by to meet her for the first time before we were going to be away. They were gentle and patient with her and she warmed up to them quickly. Tamette let me know how it went in detail when I asked, which I really appreciated. We would definitely use her again, and hope to leave Daisy with Tamette and Ahn at their home when we go away for a week in January.

Bruna took great care of our dog, Daphne, and made our first experience hiring a dog walker a fantastic one. She was reliable, communicative, and gave us peace of mind while we were away. Daphne was happy and well cared for, and it was clear she was in great hands. We wouldn't hesitate to book with Bruna again and highly recommend her to anyone looking for someone trustworthy to care for their pet!

FAQs for Dog Sitting - Dobbs Ferry

Frequently asked questions about Rover

The average cost of Dog Sitting in Dobbs Ferry is $33 per visit as of November 2026. Most bookings cost between $22 and $36 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.

As of November 2026, there are 25,425 sitters on Rover offering Dog Sitting across Dobbs Ferry. Enter your ZIP code to see which available sitters are closest to your home.

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.

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 Dobbs Ferry 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 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.

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.

While Rover doesn’t offer traditional subscription services, some sitters offer recurring bookings for services like home visits and dog walking. Recurring services come with their own perks, such as flexibility to modify services (up to five weeks in advance), automatic billing, Rover Card updates, and same-day cancellations.

To find sitters in Dobbs Ferry with recurring or weekly availability, select "Repeat Weekly" and which days you’d like them to care for your pet.

Yes, you can find sitters who have experience with handling special pet needs in Dobbs Ferry. On Rover:

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.

sitters on Rover set their own cancellation policy, 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.
