About: I've cared for many cats and dogs, from pit bulls to terriers to English bulldogs. I have experience with puppy training, senior dog care, and oral medication administration. I'm a patient and compassionate pet owner, and I promise to treat your fur babies with the same love and care I would my own. I'm also a graduate music student in case your pet might want to be serenaded by a french horn :) I'm a musician and graduate student at Bard. My schedule changes quite a bit, but I always have a good idea of what my schedule will look well in advance. In addition, I am generally free most mornings, and can often be flexible. I'm very happy to provide your dog(s) with walks, food, brushing, bathing, and medication. I love to play fetch with dogs, go on walks or hikes, visit dog parks, cuddle, practice tricks, or any other enriching activity. With cats, I love to cuddle, play, and practice or try new tricks with treats.

“My dog immediately bonded to Rose as soon as she walked into the house. She has an incredible way with dogs, and a deep knowledge of their behavior and needs. She is a true dog lover! I feel grateful that we found her, as it is such a relief to know there is someone who can take great care of our canine family member when we cannot be around.”

About: I am an animal lover and have ample experience sitting for cats and dogs. While I have a cat of my own, I love dogs and taking care of them as well. I am currently working a part-time remote job, so I am able to check in on pets whenever needed throughout the day. I am also happy to hang out with them while I work if they tend to get lonely throughout the day! I have a cat at home who is anxious and does not get along with other pets, so while I can’t offer boarding at my own house, I am committed to giving your pets the best care possible from the comfort of their own home environment.

About: I currently own an amazing certified Good Boy Austalian Cattle Dog and two snuggly cats. I have have always owned at least one pet, both cats and dogs since I was little. I have done a decent amount of pet sitting for neighbors and friends. I have even had to give oral meds to one dog I dog sat. If you have any questions, please ask! Dogs will always get at least a 15 minutes walk because my dog usually needs a longer one. I sometimes give my cats and dog breakfast and then usually give the dog a quick 15 walk in the morning before leaving for work at 7:30 am. I get back home around 3:00 pm and usually give my dog his actual long walk between 40 and 70 minutes depending on weather. I feed the animals and then have dinner and usually just relax and snuggle on the couch with at least one of the fur kids. I fit in other cleaning and what not in there but I always make it a point to walk my doggo and make sure they get snuggles since I am gone for a good portion of the day. I have room for a crate for a crate trained dog. I have a moderately sized backyard that is well fenced in. My dog is a counter surfer so we have baby gates for both the kitchen and the extra bedroom. The extra bedroom serves as the cat room so the cats have a dedicated space. Stuff can be adjusted if you have a cat not used to dogs, so they can have that entire room or vice versa our cats can go in there for a dog that is not cat friendly. We only live five minutes from Marbletown Animal Hospital of any emergencies arise needing urgent care if your vet is not available.

About: I understand animals on a deep level and have a knack for getting them into a calm, happy state. Throughout my lifetime, I have cared for dogs, cats, cows, sheep, rabbits, chickens, ducks, geese. Safety is paramount when it comes to our fur babies. I am a very fastidious person and this is amplified when I care for animals. They deserve all the best :) I am currently renovating and have free time between work on my house. I am very flexible and willing to work with your schedule. I have two reliable vehicles- one of which is perfect for safe transport of larger dog if necessary. Safety is my number one priority as a dog mom and cat mom myself. I will take every step possible to ensure the comfort, safety and health of your pet. I care for every living thing with the love, care and attention that life deserves. I will care for any creatures as though they were my own fur babies.

About: I have been a pet lover & pet care advocate for as long as I can remember! I’ve been caring for dogs of all breeds, sizes, and personalities my entire life. I’ve taken care of kittens, pups, rescued cats, & cared for other pets like bunnies, fish, & hamsters. Over the years, friends, family, and neighbors have trusted me to walk, feed, and love their pets like my own which I do with a smile. Whether it’s an energetic puppy who needs to play & burn off some energy, or a sweet senior pup who needs extra patience and care, I adapt to their unique needs and personalities. I’m not just a sitter, i’m an emotional support human & a dependable companion for your pet while you’re away. I believe in consistent communication, lots of love, and making sure your pet feels safe, happy, and cared for. I love & care for them as if they were my own. I’m experienced with administering medications, sticking to routines, and keeping pets calm and comfortable in their own environment. Your comfort, peace of mind, & your pet’s happiness are my top priority! As someone who works from home and takes online classes, my schedule is super flexible; perfect for giving your pet the attention they deserve! I’m home throughout the day, which means your pet won’t be left alone for long stretches. Whether it’s a midday walk, playtime, or just some company while they nap, I can be there when they need it most. My routine allows me to be fully present and responsive to your pet’s needs. I can stick to their feeding and walking schedule, provide consistent companionship, and make sure they feel safe, loved, and entertained while you’re away. Being home all day also makes me a great fit for puppies, senior pets, or dogs who need a little extra TLC. When I care for pets in their own home, my goal is to keep their routine as familiar and stress-free as possible. I follow your pet’s routine closely & I make sure they’re comfortable in their space, following their usual schedule for walks, meals, playtime, and cuddles. Whether it’s sticking to their favorite walking route or knowing exactly how they like their food prepared, I pay close attention to every detail you share. I know how much the little details matter! Being in their own environment helps your pet feel more relaxed, and I’m there to make sure they feel loved every step of the way. I’m experienced in administering a variety of medications, including flea and tick ointments, oral chewy meds, and pills; whether they’re hidden in a treat or given directly. I stay calm and patient to make the process as stress-free as possible. I’m comfortable managing multiple pets and giving each one the attention and care they need. I treat your home with the same respect and care I give to your pet: clean, secure, and exactly how you left it. I provide regular updates with messages & photos so you can feel confident your pet is safe, happy, and in good hands & know everything is going smoothly while you’re away.

The average cost of Pet Sitting in Esopus on Rover is $17 per visit as of October 2026. Most bookings cost between $17 and $17 per visit. 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 of October 2026, there are 933 sitters on Rover offering Pet Sitting across Esopus. 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.

  • 90% of sitters can help with special care needs
  • 93% 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 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.
