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.
“We’re so appreciative of Jenny! We needed some weekend drop in visits super last minute, and she came to the rescue. She was super prompt and commutative, and always made sure to make the visit super worthwhile.”
About: I’m a lifelong dog lover and experienced dog owner with a sweet senior pup of my own. I know how important it is to feel completely comfortable with the person caring for your dog, and I treat every pup I care for with the same attention, patience, and affection I give my own. I’m comfortable with dogs of different ages and energy levels, including senior dogs, and I can administer oral medications when needed. Whether your pup needs a good walk, some playtime, a potty break, or simply some company and cuddles, I’m happy to follow their normal routine and make sure they feel safe and comfortable. I currently have flexible weekday and weekend availability for walks, drop-ins, and pet sitting. I’m also big on communication, so you can expect updates and photos while your pet is in my care. My goal is simple: a happy pup and a pet parent who can relax knowing their dog is in good hands. :) I currently have flexible availability throughout the week and on weekends, which allows me to accommodate daytime walks, drop-in visits, and pet sitting. I’m happy to work around your pet’s usual routine whenever possible. As a longtime dog owner myself, I understand how important it is to trust the person caring for your pet. I follow each pet’s normal routine and any instructions provided by their owner, including feeding schedules, walks, medications, and household preferences. I’m attentive to each dog’s comfort level and behavior and always prioritize keeping them safe, comfortable, and well cared for while you’re away.
About: I have two senior dogs, and plenty of experience walking, feeding, and bathing dogs of all shapes and sizes! I also have a tortoise so I’m careful with animals and patient with gaining their trust. Just graduated college and work from home so my schedule is flexible. I also have access to a car so transportation shouldn’t be an issue. I like to gain the dogs trust before taking them out for a walk, so I would usually sit next to them let them come to me and reward them as they get more comfortable being around me either with treats or pets or playing with them.
“Jessica is such a kind and caring pet sitter. She really makes you feel as if your pet is the cutest and most wonderful creature she has ever met. (In the case of our Moma, I’m sure it’s true! :) She is very attentive to the instructions you leave and will ask questions to make sure she is caring for your pets in just the way you would do it yourself. I cannot recommend her more highly.”
“Karen is a wonderful person and a great pet carer! She came by for a meet and greet before the drop in visits to make our pets comfortable, went above and beyond for us and worked flexibility to accommodate everything we added for. Cannot recommend enough, Karen was considerate of us humans and loving to both our cat and dog!”
About: Dear fur parents—my name is Jane, and I have extensive experience with both cats and dogs. I’ve had pets my whole life, so I’m well-acquainted with the joys and difficulties of caring for animals. Having worked with a variety of temperaments—from playful and outgoing to more reserved and cautious—I feel equipped for the job. I look forward to looking after your fluffy loved one 🐶🐈⬛ I primarily work from home, so pet care fits seamlessly into my everyday schedule. As someone who has had pets throughout my life, I appreciate the importance of checking in on them throughout the day and attending to their needs. I live in a quiet, three-bedroom apartment, which provides ample space for sitting and boarding—my boyfriend, who also has significant experience with cats, lives with me and works from home.
About: I’ve had many pets as a young girl and family friends who knew we loved pets would always invite us over to pet watch them. I’m currently working a full time job but available after work and Sundays. I’m looking to spend more time with furry friends and just spend my extra time with them. I love bringing dogs outside into the yard and allowing them to run around with me. I also like pets who like to be a cuddle bug too.
About: My 3 kids and I run a small business caring for animals mostly dogs. All 3 are in their 20’s. My son, Adam does most of the walks and house sitting, I handle the boarding. My reviews are not only for me but for my boys as well. I come from a long line of animal lovers and grew up with many dogs, cats, birds, hamsters. Animals are my life! They offer unconditional love and rely on us to give them love, affection and to meet all of their basic needs. I own my own home on a private dead end street. When your fur babies are here, they are part of our family and are never left alone. There is always someone at home. My mission is to make sure all pups in my care, feel safe, loved and happy. I recently left my job in the medical field. I’m spending my time now with my adult children and my dogs. Life is too short to not do what you love everyday Safety is a priority in my home and I live on a private street with only two houses so there is absolutely zero traffic here
About: I am a just starting at Pace Law and missing my animals deeply. I have made a summer job the past few years dog sitting. I have a wide variety of experience, from caring for three 60lbs+ lap dogs for a week to three cats I would barely see. I love every animal like it is my own (smothered in love) and I make sure to take lots of pictures (I can’t help it!). I am starting my law school journey and I am looking to schedule in some animal time. I am completely free after 4 most days for walks or dinner time and have open weekends. I have lots of experience with animals of many different needs and can easily adapt to instruction. I will be sure to love your baby and provide care above and beyond.
“I honestly love your visits and from the start I could see that Fumacinha remembered you and was comfortable. Thank you for taking the time to walk him in the visit and be so kind to him. It makes a difference and I always feel at ease even traveling. Thank you”
About: Throughout my life, I have taken care of many animals- and more specifically dogs. I got my own dog two years ago -after having a family dog who I adored- and trained her to do tasks as a service dog for my partner alongside basic training. I have also watched multiple dogs for friends and family while they are away on vacation or business. Currently, I am a student with a very flexible schedule. I am free from Thursday through Sunday and will be adding more availability throughout the week when my schedule gets consistent. I have been a strong proponent of taking precautionary measures before accidents happen rather than after they occur. Therefore, no matter how trained a dog may be they will be watched 24/7 while outside and leashed for our walks around the neighborhood.
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. I also like volunteering when I have the time. 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.
“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.”
About: I’ve taken care of dogs and cats for over 6 years. Growing up I’ve always loved animals and feel as if they all hold their own personalities and preferences. At the moment I am a college student, I have a lot of free time and I usually am available in the afternoon and early morning:) I love each pet that I care for as they’re precious and are your family! I will make sure they have full tummies, potty breaks, playtime, and of course a good old ear scratch:)
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.

Pet parents share their Rover experiences - Dobbs Ferry
Araxie took wonderful care of Ella and Ira while I was away for a week. She was reliable, communicative, and sent updates and photos that put my mind at ease the whole trip. Both cats were clearly relaxed and well looked after when I got home, and she left everything tidy. I'd happily book her again and recommend her to any cat owner.
Danae was great! A friend and I were both out of the country and live close to each other, so she was checking in on both of our pets. She was really good about coordinating everything and communicating with us while we were away (even when I was terrible at responding lol). She’s super friendly and I felt totally comfortable having her take care of my cats. Would definitely book her again!
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.

Frequently asked questions about Rover
The average cost of Pet Sitting in Dobbs Ferry is $28 per visit as of November 2026. Most bookings cost between $22 and $35 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 26,709 sitters on Rover offering Pet 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.
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 Dobbs Ferry. On Rover:
- 83% of sitters can help with special care needs
- 87% can help with giving oral medications or injections
- 94% 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 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.
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.
