About: I’ve loved and cared for animals my whole life. Friends, family, and peers trust me to take care of their pets while they’re away. I made sure that they returned home better than ever like they went on a vacation too! I have experience with high-energy pups to senior dogs and can adapt to their personality and pace. I enjoy caring for animals from walking, playing, administering medication, grooming, and providing a calm space. What find most important is being patient and attentive to what your pet specifically needs. My top priority is always keeping pets happy and healthy. I’m currently on a break from school and not working on anything else. My dog, cat, and turtle keep me company in the house. I enjoy daily walks, visiting the park, and sunset outings. Rain or shine I’m available to go on walks, have playtime, visit parks, or give cozy cuddles. I’d be happy to take dogs out to walk wherever they’re most comfortable. I can also assist with grooming, clean up, take in mail, water plants, or any other tasks. I’m currently not taking pets into my home but I am willing to travel.
“Alexandra is wonderful! Our dog loves her, and is always excited to see her. Alexandra has been great at taking intros slow and working with us to get our dog used to her entering the house when we are not home. Her calm demeanor and patience are perfect for an anxious pup.”
About: I’ve always loved dogs, and started walking them about 6 years ago. Now I’ve mostly worked with senior pets, usually medium sized dogs. I’m always eager to learn more about any animal in my care, and will stay in touch with daily updates. I’m almost always available, and I have plenty of time to give your pet individualized care and attention. If you need me, I’m there for your pet! I prefer to schedule a meeting to meet you and your pet before sitting for them. That way I’m familiar to them, and I can hear directly from you about any special needs, medications, habits, and things to look out for.
“MaryAnn was wonderful! She took great care of our older cat while we were on vacation and sent regular updates on how he was doing. We’d definitely recommend MaryAnn!”
About: I use to work at a Doggie Hotel. I worked in the kennel area and use to manage the cleaning as well as the food distribution for every dog in the facility. I love taking care of my neighbors pets while they are away for vacation. I'm very hands on when it comes to puppies and training, I've done similar things at my last job as a kennel worker/day care dog counselor. I own 2 bearded dragon and take care of my parents dog from time to time! I make sure to give them special attention everyday. I make sure that each animal gets love and attention every hour of the day! I make sure that they have eaten, and if not I try to encourage, and make sure they are mentally stimulated with some play time! I also like to incorporate exercise when playing!
“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.”
“Jacqueline did such a wonderful job watching our cat, keeping us updated with photos and notes, and dealing with some bug issues we had while we were away. Would highly recommend booking her to feel comfortable with your pet’s care while you’re away!!”
“Elisa is absolutely amazing! She gave detailed updates and pictures to reassure me that the cats were doing well while I was away! They are usually super shy with new people but they definitely made a new friend since meeting Elisa! I will definitely be using her services again next time we need someone to take care of my little guys! She made me feel such at ease while I was away! Thank you so much Elisa!”
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.
“Thandi was AWESOME—we were so grateful to find her! We were in town for a wedding with our pup and she went above and beyond to make sure he was well taken care of and it was an easy process for us. Thank you Thandi!!”
About: I have a deep appreciation for animals, which stems from growing up with various pets. I've had dogs and cats I trained and cared for since they were puppies or kittens. Even had a pair of parrots, turtles, and a snake! My genuine respect for animals is why friends and family continue to trust in my enthusiasm to extend reliable and loving care to their little ones. I hope to provide you with the same peace of mind that your pawed bestie will receive a happy and nurturing experience. **Please note: I am not offering pet boarding at my home. I will go to your home for Drop-In Visits or House Sitting (no overnights). I have found it's less stressful for your little one(s) if they are in a familiar environment. I currently work part-time with flexible hours, so I can be free to meet your pet's schedule! With advanced notice, I can try to accommodate any schedule. I want to carefully learn your pet(s) routine so I can provide a similar environment for them. I know it can be nerve wracking leaving them behind, so I'll make sure you receive updates from your bestie!
“This was our second time working with Sarah and we are so pleased with the care and attention she took with our cat, including giving her medication. We feel safe leaving our cat in Sarah’s care and we look forward using her services again!”
About: I ve been around dogs all my life. Currently have a couple of very friendly mini schnoodles. The most important part of caring for a dog is to build the trust and always have a safe and friendly environment. I have trained all my dogs to be service dogs it is fun to see they evolving just like kids with the plus of they don’t leave the house for school I am currently studying from home full time and from time to time I like to take a break from the screen and play with the dogs The back yard is fenced with enough space to play and run all they want. My dogs favorites hobby is to chase squirrels birds and chipmunks with no success
About: I am an animal lover and have dedicated my life to caring for rescue pets since I adopted my first special needs cat in grad school. I have 9 years of foster experience with reputable animal rescues and am also a proud pet parent to 5 cats and 3 chickens. I am also experienced with administering medication and sub-q injections for pets with chronic kidney disease. Currently available for drop-ins and dog walking to cover weekends, evenings, and anytime you're looking to get away and need a reliable, patient and hardworking pet sitter you can trust. I am currently raising a 7 month old cat, and have experience caring for special needs animals (a cat with chronic kidney disorder). As a pet parent myself I know that every creature has its unique needs and am dedicated to ensuring that your pet's comfort and safety are taken care of.
“Doris was great! Very professional and experienced, and kept us updated throughout her check-in/walk. We felt very comfortable having Olive in her care, and we look forward to her looking after Olive again in the future!”
About: My parents got me my first dog Tokyo, when I was 9 , a beautiful short-haired black and brown mutt and I've been dog-crazy ever since. I recently moved to New York leaving my 10-year-old Great Dane, Maxine, with my parents, which breaks my heart . I mostly work from home, so I absolutely jumped at this opportunity to walk and look after other people's dogs. From dogs that are larger than life, and drag you from place to place (like my own), to the smallest and petite of canines (my sister had a Maltese terrier), I have a life-time of experience . I'm really feeling the absence of my friend and will happily take your dog for some fresh air. I'm an artist, I work from home, so I am fully flexible. I write at night as that's when I'm most inspired so I'd love to use to my days to do something I love. I have a lot of experience with larger dogs, I can crate them, walk them and give them their medication. When it comes to cats, I let them do their thing and give them attention should they ask.

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!

Whether you’re at the office for the day or traveling for a few nights, a pet sitter can offer potty breaks during a Dobbs Ferry 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.
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.

A Meet & Greet is a short introductory meeting between you, your dog, 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.
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.

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.
