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.
“Great experience! Saiad was attentive, responsive, and took excellent care of Luna. We appreciated the updates and felt confident she was in good hands. Highly recommend them!”
“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”
“I was so happy Abhi was around to check in on my cat, Binx while I was on vacation! Tons of pictures and details about his visits and even gave me an awesome recommendation for a brush for my long-haired boy :)”
“Emmily is fantastic. She was on time, super friendly, and took great care of Jake. We received pictures and a full report on his time with her. Would highly recommend her!”
“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!”
“Becky kindly stopped in to take care of our two silly doodles while we were out for the night. She was on time, and left us an update, some cute photos, and two happy dogs when we returned! Thank you.”
“Craig was amazing! He helped me out tremendously when I needed a dog sitter last minute for my 5 month old puppy. Not only did he provide me with pictures and details about his visits throughout the week, he also taught my puppy patience when it comes to feeding time and other ways to address her nipping. I would highly recommend Craig and would definitely use him again in the future!”
“Michael was fantastic! Very attentive to our dog and got along great with him. He also had excellent communication with us, including providing great photos. We know our boy is in great hands with him and will use Michael again in the future.”
“Jacqueline is not five but six stars! She truly goes above and beyond! She’s not only reliable—sticking to our schedule perfectly for 10 days, even on Christmas, or during a snowstorm, and freezing cold—but also a sweet, pleasant person to deal with. Her excellent communication, updates, and heartwarming cat photos eased our anxiety as first-time users leaving our fur babies. She’s now “our” cat sitter. Highly recommend her! Thank you from the heart.”
About: I’ve cared for dogs for over 17 years. Besides raising my own dogs, I’ve also cared for friends’ dogs for stays ranging from one week to two months. My Goldendoodle loves making new dog friends, and many of our guests have become his best buddies. I work from home most of the week, so I have plenty of time to care for dogs throughout the day. They get regular potty breaks, walks, playtime, and lots of attention, and are rarely left alone. I have fenced yard where my dog loves to play fetch. I usually let my dog out around 8am to play until 9am. All the dogs are welcome to join to play together!
“Corrine is meticulous and adhered to all the instructions that I left for my cat. All the photos that she took showed how happy my cat was. I would 100% recommend her to other people. Thank you so much Corrine!”
“Andrea was amazing! She immediately put me at ease when we met her, asked all of the right questions and was so sweet to our two cats. I appreciated Andrea's thorough communication while we were gone (and she even sent me a note the day before we left confirming timing for the next day, which I really appreciate!) She was on-time for our visits and sent lots of info and photos. I will definitely book Andrea to watch our cats again! Thanks Andrea <3”
“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.”
“Lorenzo did a wonderful job taking care of my dog, Lacey! He came over for a few hours, took her on a nice walk, played with her, and made sure she was comfortable and happy the entire time. It was clear that Lacey felt at ease with him, which gave me a lot of peace of mind. I’d absolutely recommend Lorenzo to anyone looking for a responsible and caring dog sitter!”
“Doris was great! Very professional and experienced, and kept us updated throughout her check-in/walk. We felt very comfortable having Olive in her care, and we look forward to her looking after Olive again in the future!”

“I can’t recommend her highly enough! She takes wonderful care of my cats whenever I’m away, and it gives me so much peace of mind knowing they’re in such good hands. She is easy, breezy, and incredibly kind—always reliable, communicative, and attentive to their needs. My cats are comfortable and happy with her, which says everything. It’s clear she genuinely cares for animals, and I’m very grateful to have found someone I trust completely. I will definitely continue using her services for future trips!”
Marilyn took great care of our cat, Louie, and we felt very comfortable knowing he was in her care. She visited once a day, spent time playing with him, and always sent photo updates, which we really appreciated. Her communication was excellent throughout, and she was consistently reliable and trustworthy. It was clear she genuinely cared about Louie. We would absolutely book Marilyn again and highly recommend her to other pet parents.

Frequently asked questions about Rover
The average cost for Pet Sitting in Elmsford on Rover is $27.75 per visit (as of July 2026). However, all sitters set their own rates based on experience, location, and availability.
Rover makes budgeting the cost of Pet Sitting easy. As long as your dates and pet profiles are correct, the price you see before you book is the same price you pay for Pet Sitting. For more information on service fees, click here .
As of July 2026, there are 26,124 sitters on Rover offering Pet Sitting across Elmsford. Enter your ZIP code to see which available sitters are closest to your home.
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.
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 Elmsford. 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
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 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.
