About: Dogs have always been apart of my life. I have had many different breeds throughout my life. Taking care of dogs are my passion and I hope you choose me to help you out. I am currently doing online classes until July 13th so I will be available for drop-ins 3 times a day and walks 3 times a day. After that I can drop in however often is needed, as reasonable. I am not offering boarding services but I am available to take your dogs on trail walks or long walks in general if needed, I may offer house sitting services in the future.
About: I’m super patient and love giving all of the snuggles and cuddles to dogs! I will be what you need while you’re living your best life on vacation I work full time but can do check ins in the morning, on lunch & at night. I am off on weekends so can go during the weekend any time as well. I’m not currently offering boarding services. I’m only doing dog walking and in home check ins. So so so so so so so so sorry!
About: I’ve grown up surrounded by dogs since my dad worked as a military police officer in the K-9 unit. I’ve also raised dogs of my own, giving me experience with puppies and senior pets. I also like cats and have cat sit for friends. I’m happy to support and listen to your pet care needs! I’m currently working part-time with a flexible schedule, so, with a prior notice, I will make time to support your pet! Mornings and evenings tend to work best as I am consistently finished with my shifts no later than 6pm and arrive by noon! I will listen to and perform in-home services at the client’s request. Feeding, playing with, and letting out pets are standard, but I will also check in with clients for other in-home services, such as bathing, walking, or brushing the pets’ teeth.
“Rebecca was amazing and went far and beyond! She came and met our pets prior to our booking date and sent us pictures and videos every single day! Our pets absolutely loved her. We can’t recommend her enough and will book in the future.”
“Alyssa did a great job taking care of our pups! She was very responsive and made sure they got the attention they needed while we were gone. I hope Alyssa is available next time we go out of town.”
About: I'm frequently doing outdoor activities with my dogs. I've had dogs for over 15 years. Bolt I found in the side of the road and he’s been a wonderful addition to the pack (I’m a foster failure 🤷🏼♀️)! Rollo I met at a dog path with his former owner and I happily took him in when I was asked to adopt him. If your dog is a runner, so am I! We are a very active group, but are happy to lay around and snuggle if that’s your dog’s preference too. I am flexibly available. I am a military Officer. I've had great luck securing care for Rollo and Bolt in this app and just want to share that with others as well. My goal is to make sure your dog is just as happy with me as he or she is with you because that’s what I want for my two babies when I go away. Shoot me a message, and let's make a date to introduce our dogs! I am currently searching for new employment, and thought I’d activate my account again for extra cash. I am always doing things with my two dogs - dog parks, walks, outdoor play/lounging, chicken tending, gardening and more! I love doing everything I can with my dogs. I have ten acres with a run attached to a tree in my back yard. There’s a sprinkler for your dog to play in, if that’s their thing - and because we have chickens here, you’ll fur-baby will also get a raw fresh egg with breakfast if you approve. I am happy to care for senior dogs as long as they appear happy and aren’t 💩ing everywhere in my house.
About: I’ve been dog sitting before, during college, and have taken care of dogs my whole life. I’m like Mary Poppins but for dogs ☺️ Going on 5+ years on Rover! My start began with my childhood pet, college friend’s pups, or my neighbor’s dogs. I have experience dog walking, giving medication via pills, and work on skills and behavioral issues with dogs and puppies. Or, just watching a movie and having cuddle time!! I love it all! I’m a recent college grad. I work from home, but Rover is top priority- I have maximum availability and flexibility to fit your needs. I can work long term with you or short. I’m flexible! **Please be mindful to regard safety procedures and allow more than 24 hrs before requesting services so I can meet your pet and see if we are a good fit.** I can NOT sit for you if we do not meet first. Please don’t ask the day before, for the safety of your pet and myself. I will not respond if you don’t mindfully read the safety guidelines for Rover. The holidays book fast so message me ASAP! ☺️ Safety is always my priority. Your dog’s comfort is so important. My goal is to leave your place looking “better than I found it”. I am tidy! I live in a spacious house with an unfenced backyard area. I do not have a crate. My dog Henny loves to play with others and keeps to himself when he’s tuckered out. He’s great making friends and being a patient teacher to young/timid dogs. He can come with me to play with your pup, but he is happy to stay home too.
“Lilliana was absolutely amazing! Very communicative as she sent me pictures and updates every day. My pups loved her and she went out of her way to make sure they were well taken care of while we were gone. I 10/10 will be requesting her in the future”
“Sara is absolutely amazing. My pup had to go in for surgery unexpectedly not even a week before we left and Sara did amazing taking care of her wounds and caring for my pup ❤️ she immediately messaged me If something seemed out of the norm and was more than willing to look for/find things in the house to take care of my pup if needed. Thank you so much Sara! I will ALWAYS use her if I go out of town. No doubt.”
About: I’ve been dog sitting for around 4 years now. I’ve taken care of up to 3 dogs at a time, as well as dogs of all sizes from King Charles Spaniel’s to American XL Bully. I have taken care of senior dogs, and less than year old puppies. I repeat dog sit for many families! I and trustworthy and responsible, and take care of the house while you’re away as well! I have a dog of my own, and also travel, so I prioritize making sure your pups are well loved like you aren’t even gone! I do have a part time job, some days I’ll be available all day, some days I will need to leave the house for 4-8 hours. I can be very flexible though, and will work around what works best for your animals! I will happily take your pups out in the back yard, take them for walks, cuddle with them, bathe them, and give them plenty of treats and love!
About: I’ve been taking care of dogs since early childhood. Between walking, feeding, and playing, I’ve cared for pups since I can remember. I have two mix breed babies at home. I am a writer with an 11 year old child. So taking your pets for a walk would be a nice break in my day! I have a large yard, and two medium sized fur dogs that love to play. I can also keep them separate if need be or even crate.
“Madolyn was amazing. I highly recommend her as sitter. I have a very skittish dog that was her best friend by the second day. I was not available so she sent a text to my husband every morning giving him a detailed update. I will definitely be using her again and again. 5 stars from this client.”

Frequently asked questions about Rover
As of July 2026, there are 213 sitters on Rover offering Cat Sitting across Harlem. Enter your ZIP code to see which available sitters are closest to your home.
Cat sitters on Rover care for your cats’ needs and can spend quality time with them, including activities like feeding, playing, and refreshing their water and litter boxes. Depending on your arrangement, you can schedule as many visits per day as your cat needs or find a sitter who can stay at your house overnight. Some sitters also board cats in their home.
House sitting can be ideal for cats who need socialization or care that lasts longer than a few hours. Your cat stays in their own home, on their own schedule, with care based on what you and your sitter agree on together.
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.
A Meet & Greet is a short introductory meeting between you, your cat, 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.
Yes, you can find sitters who have experience with handling special pet needs in Harlem. On Rover:
- 100% of sitters can help with special care needs

- 100% 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 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.
