“Sarah looked after my three cats at very short notice when I had to go out of town unexpectedly and she was wonderful! Incredibly diligent and kind, she went out of her way to make sure my three fur babies were taken care of, even making sure Gertie (who loves her food!) didn’t steal the other two’s food. She checked in with me twice a day with photos and updates, which gave me huge piece of mind while I was away. I can’t recommend Sarah highly enough! Will be booking her again, that’s for sure!”

“Catherine is awesome! She worked with us on a few particular requests, and she is so friendly and warm. Arthur immediately fell in love with Catherine--which says it all!”

“Caleigh did a wonderful job watching our cat and communicating with us while we were scheduling. He seemed so happy in all the photos and we look forward to booking again!”

For clients' homes, we adhere to their routines, providing walks, playtime, feeding, and any necessary medications, ensuring their comfort and happiness while maintaining their familiar surroundings.
About: Apart from having pets of my own, I've cared for several pets while their owners were away. I absolutely love befriending new animals. I walk dogs in my neighborhood quite frequently. I'm capable of handling animals of all sizes and I'm open to handling dogs who aren't so friendly. Pet care for me is a part time job so I have a lot of time to care for your furry friends! I'm very flexible with my time, so most times work for me. I have fully functioning air conditioning in all rooms in my house, so your pets will never suffer any heat detriment. I also have a friendly dog named popcorn to keep your dog company. I also have a small dog pool if your dog is a water lover as well.

When I care for pets, whether it’s in my home or a client’s, I can make sure they feel safe, loved, and comfortable. I follow their normal routine for meals, walks, and playtime so everything feels familiar to them. I love giving them lots of attention, cuddles, and play!

About: Hi there! I've been surrounded by animals since I was a little boy and I've never stopped loving them since! I've had 9 cats and 3 dogs throughout my life with my family, and I wouldn't have it any other way. I volunteered all 4 years during high school at animal shelters to care for stray/abandoned cats and dogs. All animals bring so much joy to my heart, although I don't have kids of my own yet - I care for all animals as if they were my own children. If your furry friend needs a little TLC grooming or medication, I am more than happy to ensure they are on schedule. I have a private home in Bayside, if needed more space it can be utilized (w/ fenced yard). Please message me to arrange any bookings, I always do my best to be flexible with all my clients. I look forward to meeting you and your furry friend!
“This was our second time with Marta, we are so glad that we can enjoy our travels and not worry about anything at home, she is fantastic! She kept us updated after each visit and is very responsible and follows all instructions exactly as given, and she has been so patient with our shy senior cat who hides under the table! We will definitely hire her again.”

“Tara was absolutely wonderful!! This was our first time using Rover and she put our minds completely at ease. Our cat is older and anxious around new people but Tara handled her perfectly. Thank you so much Tara!”

About: I’ve been surrounded by animals my entire life and caring for them is truly second nature to me. I grew up managing large horse farms, where I was responsible for a wide variety of animals—from horses and livestock to, of course, dogs and cats. This hands-on experience has given me a strong understanding of animal behavior, routines, and the level of care each pet deserves. I was also a competitive equestrian for 18 years, and my dogs were always right there by my side, so I understand how important it is to have someone you trust looking after your pets. Today, I have a 7-month-old Labrador, so I’m very familiar with puppy energy, training consistency, and lots of playtime! Whether your pet needs long walks, structured care, or just some extra love and attention, I’m reliable, attentive, and treat every animal as if they were my own. I’m happy to accommodate specific routines and make sure your pet feels safe, comfortable, and cared for while you’re away. I work from home creating a flexible schedule.
About: Im here to care for the elderly dogs and disabled dogs who can’t be left home alone and need ample 1:1 attention. I have cared for many senior animals, and know how complex it can be to tend to their changing needs in their golden and twilight years. Have you been worried about leaving your dog home alone while you go out for appointments, errands and social commitments? Are you stressed and need a break from caregiving to tend to our own self care? I’ll stay with your beloved canine family member making sure they are cared for and comfortable when you need to be elsewhere. I currently have availability most days in my schedule as long as i know ahead of time! I’m happy to structure your dog’s need and routines into my own schedule. I offer drop in visits and daytime and evening dog sitting in your home. I am able to bring your dog outside to get fresh air and enjoy the outdoors in your yard. If your home has stairs and your dog needs to be carried, we will discuss safety. On a case by case basis I may be able to take your small dog for a short walk up and down the block, or in the stroller if they use one. My animal clients are elderly and or disabled and typically stay home. Regarding feeding, I do not handle raw meat or pork products. We will work together to meet your dog’s individual needs and customize their care! Size of dog, distance, length and number of visits per day are all on a case by case basis.

“Huidan, is very professional. She communicatea well, came on time and try to comfort my dog as much as she could given it was first time my dog met her. She fed him refreshed his water and played. I would use her again. Thank you for your work!”

“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!”

“Margaret is seriously the best! From the second she walked in, Max and Romeo were obsessed with her. Max can be a little anxious at times, but she knew exactly how to approach him, calm and gently. She handled both of them with so much love and confidence. She kept me updated and made everything so easy and stress-free. Dogs love her, and it’s easy to see why. I’m definitely booking her again!”

About: I’ve had a dog my entire life and I have worked with dogs in Animal Shelters in New York and North Carolina. I’ve worked with all types of dogs and I have had a great experience each time! I am currently working Monday, Wednesday, and Friday, and I am free Tuesday, Thursday, Saturday, and Sunday and would love to care for dogs in my free time. As a dog owner, I understand the importance of trusting the person caring for your dog. I will keep a close eye on your dog because I know that’s what I would want if someone was watching my dog
About: I have a Scottish Terrier at home and I've had her for 5 years now. Over the years we've hosted numerous dogs, giving me hands-on experience with various breeds and temperaments. Additionally, I run a pet care brand (Modern Kindred), which has motivated me to study pet biology and behavior for the last 3 years. This combination of personal experience and professional knowledge allows me to provide informed, compassionate care tailored to each pet's unique needs. I work from home running my pet wipes brand, so I'm available throughout the day. I only make trips to the post office once a day, but otherwise I'm home with my dog (who is energetic and loves playing with other dogs). This means I can provide consistent attention and supervision for any pets in my care. I create a safe environment by removing any objects that dogs could chew on and only providing durable, indestructible toys with no loose pieces. I always supervise dogs closely and stay in the same room with them to ensure their safety and wellbeing at all times.

About: I’ve had both cats and dogs as pets growing up my whole life. I walk dogs for families all around my neighborhood as well as dog/catsit. I love surrounding myself with fur babies of all types:)) I’m a college student with no job because I go back to college first week of July for soccer (no time for a full time job). That being said, I’m home all the time to take care of your animals! I live in a neighborhood filled with dogs! Everyone is always out walking their dogs and all the dogs I’ve cared for love interacting with the other dogs. There’s loads of places for them to do their business and walk!
About: I recently moved to Westchester to work as a Trainee Guide Dog Trainer for Guiding Eyes for the Blind. I have been around dogs my whole life; I graduated from The Ohio State University in May 2024 with a degree in Animal Science. Due to my full time work with Guiding Eyes, I am primarily available on weekends or weekday evenings/nights to take care of your furry family members. I treat all pets as if they were my own; I will do everything in my power to make your pups comfortable in your absence. Your pet’s safety and comfort is my top priority!

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.

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.
