About: I have always loved Dogs , Cats and other animals. I got my first Dog over 20 Years ago. I can remember it like yesterday, she was white German Shepard mixed puppy named “Star”. I would play with her everyday after school, feed her and sometimes bath her. She was very quiet and relaxed but her aura could be felt before you even seen her beautiful white coat. The love and energy that I felt around her definitely impacted my life positively forever. She was truly the perfect definition of a Star and has unlocked the passion in my heart to show love to every dog, cat and animal that I meet. In my eyes they are just little angels covered in fur. With that being said, you can trust me to take care of your fur babies with the upmost love, care and respect, which will leave you with a peace of mind. I am currently working from home . So my schedule is very flexible and I will have plenty time for your pets.if you would like my services just let me know a day advance please. I don’t mind coming to your home to take care of your pets. I am reliable, trustworthy and always on time. I’m attentive at all times and will make sure that your babies are safe and treated like family. Communication and teamwork will make the dream work!
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.
“Ms. Christine was excellent! As soon as our fur babies met her they fell in love with her and so did we! She constantly kept us informed and took lots of pictures. We felt comfortable with her! She came early to meet us all because this was last minute. Her presence and her spirit are genuine, humble and very caring! She was very professional and respectful! We trust her! She is our go to person most definitely! If you are looking for these characteristics in a sitter for your fur babies, then you definitely want her! Thank you Ms. Christine!”

“Nicole did a great job taking care of our pups. I loved getting the report cards every day showing that they were going potty and eating and drinking like they should. Our pups were happy well taken care of when we got back and knowing they were doing well helped us have a better trip. Nicole was very responsive before and during our trip so we weren't left worrying about what was going on.”

“Mary was absolutely amazing! She made sure to make our dog feel so comfortable and loved. She always made sure to do everything we requested so that nothing in our dog’s routine would be different. Will be rebooking in the future!”

About: I have taken care of dogs professionally for 5 years, but have been studying and caring for dogs all my life! I am able to walk dogs of all sizes, administer medications (including insulin and related meds), cut nails, bathe dogs, and do basic training. I am a college student and I also work a part-time job, but I am am away at most for six hours of the day and can come by anytime between school and my job!

About: I have been around many different types of dogs and cats since I was young. I love animals and have never had any issue taking care of neighbors or friends pets. I adopted a kitten of my own a few months ago and she is the sweetest! I currently work 2 part time jobs and I am a full time nursing student. However I am very hard working and will have time to take care of your animal in anyway it needs.

About: About Me 🐾 I’ve been caring for dogs since I was just 7 years old! I grew up helping my grandfather care for his hunting dogs, which taught me from an early age how much patience, responsibility, and love goes into caring for animals. Today, I’m a proud dog mom to Ozzy, an energetic Australian Kelpie who definitely keeps me on my toes! 🐶💙 I’ve also provided drop-in care for family and friends, caring for both dogs and cats. I understand that every pet has their own personality, routine, and needs, and I’m committed to treating every pet like they’re part of my own family. I’d love the opportunity to care for your furry family members and give you peace of mind while you’re away! 🐾 I’m currently looking for full-time employment so I have pretty much open availability. My schedule would be open from 9a-230p, M-Fr, time could be shorter depending on location. I can only do drop in care at the moment. I can let them out to potty, take a short walk and/or play in your yard.
About: I have over 5 years of hands-on experience caring for dogs. I’ve also always had dogs growing up. I’ve worked with dogs for years, where I gained experience caring for dogs with a wide range of personalities, energy levels, and needs. I’ve also provided pet-sitting services in dogs’ own homes, giving them the comfort of staying in their familiar environment while their owners are away. In addition, I have extensive dog-walking experience and understand the importance of keeping every walk safe, enjoyable, and suited to each dog’s individual pace and personality. What sets me apart is my combination of professional daycare experience, in-home pet sitting, and dog walking. I’m dependable, attentive, and genuinely love getting to know each dog in my care. I treat every pup like my own and strive to give both pets and their owners peace of mind. 🐾❤️ Pet care is something I’m doing part-time, which gives me a flexible schedule and allows me to dedicate plenty of time and attention to the pets in my care. My significant other travels for work, and I’m fortunate enough to be able to travel with him, so I’m able to adjust my availability depending on our travel schedule. I’m looking forward to using my flexible schedule to provide reliable, loving care for dogs and giving them the attention, exercise, and companionship they deserve. 🐾 I understand that staying in a familiar environment can help pets feel more relaxed, especially when their owners are away. I make sure doors, gates, and other areas are secure, follow their normal feeding, walking, and medication routines, and keep a close eye on their behavior and well-being. I also respect their home and leave everything clean and just as I found it.

Madolyn was amazing with my two Belgian Malinois! They were both incredibly comfortable with her, which gave me so much peace of mind while I was away. She made sure they received exactly the care and attention they needed, and it was clear they were happy and well taken care of. I would absolutely trust her with them again and highly recommend her to anyone looking for a reliable and caring sitter!

Frequently asked questions about Rover
The average cost of Pet Sitting in Harlem is $14 per visit as of October 2026. Most bookings cost between $14 and $29 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 456 sitters on Rover offering Pet Sitting across Harlem. 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.

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.
