“Sarah was great (again!) with our elderly cat Morris. She was able to look after him at short notice, and took a snow storm in stride to get to our house. She was kind and patient and handled all his medical issues without a hitch. Highly recommended.”
About: I've had pets my whole life, both dogs and cats of all shapes and sizes. I am especially able to take care of animals with health issues. My current cat, Oliver has 3 legs and my dog, Chewy, has epilepsy. I'm currently a law student, so I have time to pet sit and take your pets for a walk after classes on weekdays and on weekends. I am able to take care of pets in your home. I have reliable transportation so I can be there when you and your pet need me. I am detail-oriented and will do my best to follow any schedules or instructions you have for your pet.
“Booked Caleigh for a somewhat impromptu trip of town- appreciated her quick response and flexibility. She was communicative and a wizard with our shy cats. Thank you so much ☺️”
“Alyssa is friendly, responsive, and easy to work with! She was EXCELLENT with our rabbit while we were away and communicated very thoroughly throughout the booking. He clearly enjoyed their visits and we can’t wait to rebook with her again soon!”
About: I love animals! I raised and trained my German Shepherd and have watched pets for family and friends for years. I love all sizes of cats and dogs but my experience is mostly with larger dogs like retrievers and shepherds. I'm excited to help care for your fluffy beloved friend, big or small. I have a flexible schedule so please let me know if you need a specific time for a drop in! I typically am more free later in the day, after about noon. However, I can be flexible if needed, just reach out for any specific times. I'm an avid runner so I'm excited to take your pet on long walks (or short walks, whatever they need). I also love to provide treats so please let me know if you're open to me bringing some treats for your pet (and if they have any dietary restrictions). I'm excited to help care for them :)
About: I’m an experienced dog foster with SPDA, providing temporary care for dogs who need a safe, loving home while they wait for their next step. I also have experience caring for dogs for extended periods of time, including following their routines, feeding schedules, walks, playtime, and individual needs. I’m patient, responsible, and attentive to each dog’s personality and comfort. I treat every pet in my care like family and understand how important it is to give pet parents peace of mind while they’re away. I have a flexible schedule and can accommodate pet care throughout the week, including occasional and short-term bookings. I’m available for walks, drop-in visits, and boarding depending on the dates and your pet’s needs. I’m happy to work with each owner’s schedule and provide consistent, reliable care. I provide a calm, clean, and pet-friendly environment where pets can feel safe and comfortable. I currently don’t have any other pets in my home, so your pet can have their own dedicated space if needed. As a foster with SPDA, I understand the importance of patience, supervision, and following each pet’s individual routine and needs. I’m also happy to follow specific instructions from pet parents to make their pets feel at home.
“Tara has been amazing with Klaus during her drop-in visits! She’s always punctual, attentive, and truly cares about making sure Klaus is comfortable and happy. I love that she gives him plenty of attention, fresh water, and keeps an eye on him while I’m away. The updates and photos she sends after each visit really help me feel connected and worry-free. I highly recommend Tara to anyone looking for a dependable and loving pet sitter!”

“!!WOW!! We had such an amazing experience with Andrew and we are thrilled to know we can continue to rely on him to help us watch our little babies! We had last minute sitting changes and needed to find someone to watch our two dogs during a holiday weekend the night before. Andrew was quick to respond and worked magic with his schedule in order to help us on such short notice! His communication while we were away was fantastic, full of sweet messages and pictures!! We felt so comforted knowing Andrew was there to be with them and take care of them. We will absolutely be asking him to help us out for all of our future trips and sitting needs for them!”

Dog parents share their Rover experiences - Elmsford
We booked Jalyne last minute for a 5 day long trip to take care of our older dog with Cushings disease. I was a little nervous but after our initial meet and greet I knew Jalyne was caring, trustworthy and responsible. We asked for A LOT of check ins and she made every single one of them count. She was compassionate to our girl and we’d one hundred percent hire Jalyne again.
Youjin is the best in the neighborhood! My dog was so well taken care of, and I could tell he was happy and comfortable with her. She was caring, reliable, and kept me updated during each visit. I’m so glad I found her and would definitely book with her again!
I’ve only had one experience with Janelle so far but I know/hope there will be more. I reached out very last minute (two days before needing help) and she responded right away, was able to make a FaceTime meet & greet and my puppy loved her. She was lovely to work with and I felt like my little 3 month old guy was in great loving hands.
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.

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 Elmsford 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 Elmsford 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.

All bookings are backed by the Rover Guarantee , which provides up to $25,000 in eligible veterinary care reimbursement.
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 Elmsford with recurring or weekly availability, select "Repeat Weekly" and which days you’d like them to care for your pet.

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 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.
