“Cynthia was such an amazing pet sitter. She stopped by to meet Shisen and make sure she knew where everything was before our trip, she provided regular updates, spent time with Shisen and made sure she had all her needs met. Thank you for caring for our girl!”

We were able to go on a family vacation out of the country and know that she was taking excellent care of our shy and nervous senior kitty and following all of our instructions about his special diet and medication! She always made an effort to connect with him and make him feel comfortable which we really appreciated. We will definitely hire her again!”
“As always, Jalyne did a great job with Daisy. And she is so communicative and responsive to us. Daisy loves seeing Jalyne and we feel very comfortable knowing Daisy is in good hands. Thanks again Jalyne!”
About: I’ve had experience with larger breeds. I had an Airedale terrier growing up and had a large golden doodle who was almost 100 pounds so I’m a big fan of big dogs! I’m able to walk larger dogs with ease and have experience with food sensitive dogs as my doodle was allergic to just about everything. I’m available to do dog sitting pretty much whenever. I work from home full time so I am able to provide a lot of attention to any of my dog guests who stay with me and my husband. Dog walking I’m available most evenings and weekends with access to dog parks in my area if you are comfortable with me bringing your buddy there to play! I’m passionate about dogs and would love to use some extra time caring and tending to them! I’m new to caring for others dogs but not new to loving them - thanks for considering me to care for your best friend! I work from home full time so any dog that stays with me is a huge part of my schedule and routine! I can provide lots of daily walks and special attention for those who need a little extra love! It’s important for me to know what the rules and routine are at home! We try to keep things are normal as possible and not instill any bad habits when they are in our care! They get free reign of our home and we also have cameras to keep an eye on things if we aren’t home!

About: My name is Robert and I absolutely love dogs in every way. I have had dogs my whole life and know how to care for different breeds with wide variety of behaviors and needs. Dogs are just as much family as anyone else and deserve to be treated that way. I’m based in beautiful Hartsdale, NY, just steps away from a large park that’s perfect for walks and playtime. I have a fully fenced-in yard, providing a safe and fun space for dogs to roam freely and get plenty of fresh air. I also partner with two other experienced Rover sitters, which means your pet will always have round-the-clock care and attention — 24/7! Pet care fits easily into my daily routine — I have open availability throughout the week, so I’m always ready to provide walks, playtime, feedings, and overnight care as needed.. I live in a house with a nice big fenced in backyard and I also have a very large dog kennel that can be used if needed. Plenty of room to run around.

When booking with me you’ll not only get the caring attention from me, but also from my spunky little wiener doodle, Penny! Penny and I love long walks and play time. If your pet prefers time alone, Penny stays at home, and we can have 1 on 1 time together to ensure they receive the care they need!

Happy to provide in home care at your location or you can leave your pup with me and ensure that they are well taken care of. 😁

It’s definitely a priority to keep your dogs safe during a walk or a visit - my full focus and attention is on them 100% of the time!
“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.”
About: Hi! I’m a caring, reliable, and animal-loving pet sitter with hands-on experience in veterinary and animal care settings. As a pre-vet student, I’ve developed strong skills in animal handling, observation, and compassionate care through clinical and research environments. I worked as a veterinary assistant at Cornell University Specialists, where I gained experience working alongside veterinary professionals and strengthened my understanding of animal health, behavior, and safety. I also have a 11-year-old cockatiel and two cats of my own, so I truly understand the daily care, attention, and trust it takes to look after someone’s pets. I prioritize patience, attentiveness, and routine, making sure every pet feels safe, loved, and comfortable while you’re away. Whether it’s walks, playtime, cuddles, or special care needs, I treat every animal like my own! I am also BLS and ALS CPR certified I am flexible and available throughout the week for dog sitting and house sitting. I am happy to help with daily visits, walks, feeding, and check-ins. I do not offer overnight stays, but I am reliable and willing to help wherever needed during the day. I provide attentive in-home pet care focused on safety, comfort, and routine consistency. I make sure pets are always in a secure environment—checking doors, gates, food access, and removing any hazards. I closely follow owner instructions for feeding, medications, and behavior routines to keep pets stable and stress-free in their home setting. With my basic medical knowledge from animal care experience, I am comfortable recognizing early signs of illness or distress (such as changes in appetite, vomiting, coughing, or lethargy) and responding appropriately by notifying the owner promptly and seeking guidance when needed. My goal is to ensure pets feel safe, cared for, and as close to their normal routine as possible while their owners are away

Pet parents share their Rover experiences - Elmsford
She was absolutely exceptional! Communication was excellent throughout the weekend, and most importantly, it was clear that she genuinely cared about my cats. That’s something I value tremendously when trusting someone to look after them. She was attentive, thoughtful, and reliable, which gave us great peace of mind while we were away. I would absolutely book with her again and wouldn’t hesitate to recommend her to friends, family, and neighbors. Highly recommend!
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.
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.
absolutely loved having catie as our cat sitter! She was amazing with our cat Charlotte — patient, gentle, and very caring. She sent us daily updates, which truly gave us peace of mind during our trip. Charlotte can be shy, but she slowly warmed up to her, and that meant the world to us. We felt completely confident and happy knowing Charlotte was in such good hands. Thank you so much for everything — we would definitely book with you again!

Frequently asked questions about Rover
The average cost of Pet Sitting in Elmsford is $26 per visit as of October 2026. Most bookings cost between $20 and $39 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 October 2026, there are 26,290 sitters on Rover offering Pet 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.
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 .
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 , which provides up to 25,000 in eligible veterinary care reimbursement.

- 83% of sitters can help with special care needs

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 .
sitters on Rover set their own , 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.
