“This was our first time using Rover, and Danae was exceptional! She kept us updated with our cats, and she was flexible when we had to make adjustments to our care plan. Highly recommend!!”

“Maria took excellent care of our cat for a week, 2 visits a day. She was there like clockwork - and sent us photos, which we loved. I appreciated how communicative she was, especially with a snowstorm coming. Would 100 % use her again.”

“Bella was the perfect sitter for my baby while I was away. I was never worried about her in the slightest and it was such an amazing piece of mind to know that Bella had her in good hands. I can’t recommend her enough!”


About: I've been caring for dogs and cats since I was six years old and have always played an active role in their daily care. From feeding, walking, and grooming to providing plenty of love and attention, caring for animals has been a natural part of my life. At 16, I began dog walking for friends and neighbors, gaining experience with pets of different sizes, breeds, and personalities. Over the past two years, I've expanded my services to include in-home overnight pet care, allowing pets to stay comfortable and maintain their routines while their owners are away. I genuinely love animals and enjoy building trusting relationships with them. My experience, reliability, and passion for pet care help me provide a safe, loving, and stress-free environment for every pet in my care. I currently work a part-time job with a flexible schedule, which allows me to dedicate plenty of time to pet care. I often have two days off during the week and am available in the mornings and evenings before and after work for walks, drop-in visits, feeding, and quality time with your pets. My flexible availability helps me accommodate a variety of schedules while ensuring your pets receive the attention, care, and consistency they deserve. Your pet's safety, comfort, and well-being are always my top priorities. Before caring for a new pet, I like to do a thorough walkthrough with the owner to learn about their pet's routine, training methods, preferences, and any special instructions. I believe consistency is important, so I strive to maintain the same structure and expectations your pet is used to in their daily life. When entering a client's home, I always proceed carefully, opening doors slowly and ensuring pets cannot slip outside. I make it a priority to keep fresh water available, follow feeding and medication schedules as instructed, and closely monitor pets during walks and outdoor time. If a pet is in the yard, I always check that gates are secure and fencing is safely enclosed before allowing them outside. Above all, I treat every pet with patience, kindness, and plenty of love and attention, helping them feel safe, comfortable, and cared for while you're away.
“Tracy was wonderful to work with! We have a big pup who has a lot of anxiety with change, but Tracy was kind, calm and compassionate with him. Tracy is respectful of the care and attention needed for each animal and your home.”

“Sarah was wonderful watching my cats while I was away! She kept them well-fed, entertained, and happy, and checked in regularly with updates. It was such a relief knowing they were in good hands. We’ll definitely be booking Sarah again — next time for dog walking too”
About: I started walking dogs when I was 15, two dogs every night and ended up knowing half the complex’s pets by name. Ten years of that teaches you a lot. Every dog is different and that’s genuinely my favorite part. Some are anxious and just need patience and consistency to come out of their shell. Some stop to sniff everything on the sidewalk and I let them take their time. It’s their walk. I’m easy to work with, I communicate well, and I take the dogs in my care seriously. I’m available weekdays and I prefer recurring schedules because dogs do better with routine, and so do their owners. If you’re looking for someone reliable who’s actually going to pay attention to your dog, I’d love to help. Weekdays, daytime. I’m happy to set up a recurring schedule and honestly prefer it. Dogs thrive on routine and it makes things easier for everyone. I pay attention. On every walk I’m aware of what’s around us, how your dog is feeling, and what they need in that moment. My goal is simple: bring your dog home happy and give you one less thing to worry about.
“Jocelyn goes above and beyond! And our dog just loves her! It is clear Jocelyn treats all dogs like her own, and we are so happy to have someone we trust who our dog loves!”

“Sophie was great! We are very grateful to have found her in the app and booked with her. She is very reliable and provided prompt pictures and reports about our Bagel while we were away. We will definitely book with her again in our future time away. Thank you Sophie!”


About: I've always had cats and I've had a dog for the past 3 years. I volunteer at Paws Crossed with my daughter, where we walk dogs and socialize cats. I have a flexible schedule, but need advance notice in order to coordinate other activities. In home pet sitting in lower Westchester is easier for me. I have a fenced in yard and crates. At a client's home, I enjoy going for walks, and playing inside and outside with the dog.
About: I grew up with and have raised dogs my whole life, so I naturally know how to handle everything from high-energy puppies to calm seniors. Since I don't have any pets of my own right now, I have plenty of extra energy to focus entirely on your pet during our time together. I have a very calm presence that pets naturally love, and whether we are going for a long exercise hike or a quick potty break, I’ll make sure your pet stays safe, happy, and well-exercised. I'm a current graduate student who is available most of the day and weekends if needed. Mondays and Tuesdays, I have class from 6 pm - 10 pm so I am not available then. Whether I am walking your dog or checking in on them at your house, their safety and your peace of mind are my top priorities. I am extremely responsible with house keys and security, and I always make sure doors and gates are double-locked before I leave. Since I grew up with dogs, I’m very alert to my surroundings and keep a close eye on body language to avoid any stressful situations with other animals or traffic. I also love sending plenty of photo updates so you can see exactly how much fun your pup is having while staying safe and well-cared for.
“Ellie was a wonderful and thoughtful sitter! We enjoyed her thorough and entertaining updates and she gave our kitties some much needed attention while we were away for the week.”


About: I have been pet sitting and caring for friends pets since high school. I have taken care of cats, dogs and bunnies. I would love to help take care of your pets! I am available for mornings and afternoons. I work on a shift schedule right so my hours do change but that also means I have a lot of flexibility! I am a very patient person and will always do my best to sense the animals needs. I will let them come to me so they know they are in a safe space. I will follow the instructions left for me by the pets owner.
About: I've been taking care of dogs and cats since I was 8 years old! I began dog sitting in my own house when I was in high school. I am able to take care of cats and dogs that need pills but not injections. I do work full time throughout the week from 8 am to 5 pm with some wiggle room. I take 1 hour lunch breaks so if a client is near and a pup needs a walk or to be checked on I have the ability for a midday walk/visit. Pre and post work my own pup gets a long walk. I am free all day on the weekends which often means a trip to the dog park or a walk on the trails. I have a back yard for leash walks and so fresh air is an option. If a pet is staying over they have the opportunity to stay in their crate or wherever they choose to sleep! My floors are mostly tile so incase of an accident all is good!
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!

“We felt very comfortable and confident knowing our cats were cared for well by Abhilash. He sent great updates and photos while we were away, and our pets seemed to really enjoy his company. Everything was in excellent condition when we returned home. We would definitely use his services again!”


About: I ve been around dogs all my life. Currently have a couple of very friendly mini schnoodles.

Pet parents share their Rover experiences - Dobbs Ferry
Danae is incredibly reliable and is wonderful with my cat. This time she went out of her way to help me with a household task (emptying my dehumidifier which was on due to water in my basement) and even came back on her own time to make sure everything was OK. I recommend her highly.

Sarah was wonderful watching my cats while I was away! She kept them well-fed, entertained, and happy, and checked in regularly with updates. It was such a relief knowing they were in good hands. We’ll definitely be booking Sarah again — next time for dog walking too

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 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.
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.

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 Dobbs Ferry. On Rover:
- 88% of sitters can help with special care needs
- 92% can help with giving oral medications or injections
- 95% can help with daily exercise

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.
