“Maggie took care of my cats as if they were my own, and that is the highest praise I could possibly give anyone. Tira in particular is normally super cautious of new people and very slow to come out of hiding and eat/play, but Maggie was able to make Tira feel at ease and bring her out of her shell very quickly, and got her flopping around and exposing her belly on day 2 which is unheard of for new humans! Will absolutely use Maggie again.”

“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: Hello there, fellow pet lover. I have over 5 years of experience taking care of dogs and cats from different sizes and breeds. I have watched and love many from multiple newborn puppies to older dogs. I am willing to do last minute walks or visit for your for legged friend. (And obviously play with them and feeding too!). I am more than welcome to feed them too and give them love. I am willing to do multiple check ins though the day. I cant not stay all day, because i have my own 4 legged fluff monster at home, he is a 2 year old German Shepard. Patience and trust is the key to taking care of our best friends the best way possible.

About: I am a Licensed Clinical Social Worker with all of the patience and love to give both humans and animals. I have much more of a flexible schedule in the summer months so I can provide more services, including drop-in visits and walks. I I have had pets, both dogs and cats, my whole life and will treat your furry friend as I would my own. I understand that it is difficult to trust another person to take care of your pet and I can only assure you that I will keep your fur baby safe and sound while having fun at the same time. I promise to give your pet whatever it needs to be the happy and loved animal that I am sure you already make it. I can be available for walks and drop-ins from June to the end of August on most weekday mornings and afternoons, as well as weekends with some advanced notice. I am available to provide walks and drop-in visits for both cats and dogs, providing them with a bathroom break, fresh food and water, and lots of ear scratches :)

About: Animals are a central part of my life and always have been. I’ve cared for everything from dogs and cats and more, and I truly treat every animal like my own. I understand how stressful it can feel to leave your dog with someone else, so I focus on providing attentive, loving care you can fully trust. P.S. I have a soft spot for snuggly pups and love long walks. I am currently an online college student with a very light course-load! So I have lots of flexibly and time to care for your pup! I have a fully fenced( with the exception of the driveway entrance- which can be fenced off while your pup plays outside) two acre property with 8ft deer fencing. I have two 60ish pound dogs who are very friendly and low key. Our dogs free roam the house yours can as well or can be in a crate if your prefer. We are pretty active and love to go on long sniffari walks!

About: Animals have been my passion since childhood, and I’ve had up to 5 dogs at a time! I also have extensive experience rescuing stray cats and dogs, volunteering to help them recover and find loving homes. From puppies learning the ropes to senior pets needing extra TLC, I offer personalized care for every stage of your pet’s life. With my background in animal rescue and pet care, you can trust your furry friend will receive the highest level of attention, love, and safety. Your pet will not just be cared for – they’ll be treated like family! I’m available for pet care in the mornings from 9 AM to 12 PM, and after 6 PM on weekdays.

As an organized and respectful person, I ensure that your pet feels safe and at ease in their own environment. I carefully follow any guidelines you provide to make sure your pet’s routine remains consistent, and I take extra precautions to maintain a secure and comfortable space for them. You can trust that your furry friend will be treated with love, respect, and attention to detail while they’re in the comfort of their own home.

About: I'm a huge animal lover and have always enjoyed spending time with dogs of all breeds, sizes, and personalities. I have a dog of my own, so I understand how important it is to find someone you can trust to care for your pet as if they were their own. I'm patient, responsible, attentive, and love making sure dogs feel happy, comfortable, and cared for. Whether it's going for walks, playing, keeping them company, or simply making sure they stick to their routine, I'll treat your dog with plenty of love and attention. My goal is to give both you and your pup peace of mind while you're away! I have a a full time job as a lab tech but don’t start work until 2pm on weekdays, so I am free all morning for check ins and walks before 1:30! Weekends are open all day but please refer to my calendar! I prioritize making every pet feel safe, comfortable, and cared for in their own environment. Since I offer walks, drop-in visits, and in-home pet sitting, I make it a priority to follow each owner's instructions and maintain their pet's normal routine as closely as possible. I always make sure pets are supervised, secure, and have access to fresh water, food, and anything else they need. During walks, I pay close attention to my surroundings and keep dogs safely leashed. During check-ins and sitting visits, I provide plenty of attention, playtime, and companionship while respecting your home and keeping everything clean and tidy. I also believe communication is important, so I’m happy to send regular updates and photos to let you know how your pet is doing. Above all, I want owners to feel confident that their pets are in good hands while they're away!

About: I’ve been caring for dogs for 6 years and have lots of experience with smaller breeds, especially female dogs. I’m patient, loving, and comfortable with all different personalities, from shy and nervous pups to more energetic or aggressive dogs. I make sure every dog feels safe, comfortable, and gets plenty of attention, walks, playtime, and love while they’re with me. I currently work part-time, so I have plenty of flexibility for walks, drop-ins, and pet care throughout the week. For boarding and overnight stays, I’m available Thursday through Sunday and can give your pet lots of attention and care while they’re with me I live in a loving family home in the suburbs of Yonkers with my parents and brother, so there’s usually someone around to give your pet some extra love and attention. We have a fenced-in yard with plenty of room to play, and I can easily crate your dog if needed. There are also several nice parks and walking areas nearby, so they’ll have plenty of opportunities to get outside and explore. I keep treats and pet essentials on hand, and we’re close to veterinary care if anything unexpected ever comes up. My miniature Dachshund is very friendly with other animals, especially cats, and I always do my best to make every pet feel safe, comfortable, and at home

About: I dog sat for the same family for 2 years during their family vacations. I’ve taken care of dogs and cats I love all animals and would love to care for yours ! I work part time during the week and I am also a student, my weekends are usually free or mornings before 12 during the week. I live in a spacious townhouse with six other girls who are all animal lovers, so your pet will get lots of love, attention, and company during their stay! There are stairs throughout the townhouse, but I’m happy to accommodate your pet based on their individual needs. We don’t have a fenced-in yard, but there is plenty of space nearby for walks, outdoor time, and bathroom breaks. I don’t currently have a crate in my home, so if your pet is crate-trained or requires one, you would need to provide their crate for their stay. My main priority is making sure your pet feels safe, comfortable, and at home while they’re with me!

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.

I especially love working and specialize with high energy dogs that need their daily zoomies. Additionally, as a former dog owner myself, I am familiar with what’s needed to keep your pup happy! I’m currently a law student, but I am go-getter and will find the time to fit your pets with my current class schedule. My availability is as follows: Monday: 4-10pm Tuesday: 2-10pm Wednesday: 7am-1pm. Thursday 11:00am-10pm Friday 1pm-10pm Saturday and Sunday: All Day availability I will be comfortable with whatever tasks you require of me to ensure your pets are well-taken care of; whether it be dropping in just to feed them, playing with them, etc. For walks, I’m comfortable with any level of activity necessary. Whether it’s just around the block or entire neighborhood, I will have no issues keeping up with your pet!

“Jennalynn was awesome with Pepper. She is very knowledgeable and has a lot of experience with rescue dogs which is hard to find. I have a fearful reactive dog I recently adopted, so I had to give her 100 details about her background. Her communication to come up with an intro plan made things so much easier. I highly recommend Jennalynn for all dog needs!”

About: I’ve grown up with dogs since I was a young boy, and when I turned 15 I started my own Dog Walking service in my home town of Hoboken NJ. I ran it for 3 years straight building a vast clientele basis until I moved to Pace University for college. Can’t wait to meet all of your adorable pets!!! Would be able to do walks any day during any time of the day and more then happy to do pet sitting in your home if needed!!! I’ve always cared for pets in a special way since I was a young child. I’ve grown up with dogs since I was a little boy and try even if I am with the dog for only a short period of time to give the dog as much love and care as possible

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.

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.

FAQs for Dog Sitting - Elmsford

Frequently asked questions about Rover

The average cost of Dog Sitting in Elmsford is $28 per visit as of November 2026. Most bookings cost between $20 and $34 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 25,172 sitters on Rover offering Dog Sitting across Elmsford. 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 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. 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 Elmsford 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 Elmsford. On Rover:

  • 83% of sitters can help with special care needs
  • 88% 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.

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.
