“Karissa was absolutely amazing and we couldn’t have asked for a better dog sitter. She was so attentive to detail, incredibly caring with our animals, and communicated so well the entire time. She sent frequent picture and video updates and was always clear about the care provided and the time she spent with our pets, which gave us so much peace of mind! She truly went above and beyond the whole time & also left us the sweetest surprise to come home too. She also included detailed daily care notes, which was a special touch. Karissa is dependable, thoughtful, and genuinely loves what she does. We will 100% have her watch our dog and cat again and highly recommend her to anyone looking for exceptional pet care 💕🐶 I promise you won’t regret it!”
“My wife and I knew the moment we met Emily she was the real deal. We are vacationing and needed a sitter for our large GSD, Shadow for an evening. Emily responded right away and offered to do a meet and greet. Shadow loved Emily, we did too. Emily sent us photos and we had forgotten to ask for them. I have no doubt Emily will take as good of care of your fur baby as she did ours. I wish Emily was in Michigan.”
“Jordan was amazing! She kept me posted with pictures and text to ensure I knew they were happy and enjoying themselves. We had a recent diagnosis for Miss Coco, and Jordan was so empathetic and put me at ease while I was out of town. Thanks again Jordan!!”
About: I’ve been dog sitting and caring for dogs for about two years now, for friends, family, and anyone who’s needed it! During that time, I’ve worked with dogs of all different sizes, ages, and energy levels, including puppies and senior dogs. I’m comfortable with feeding schedules, walks, playtime, administering basic medications, and keeping pets on their normal routines so they feel safe and comfortable while their owners are away! I genuinely enjoy spending time with animals and make sure every dog gets plenty of attention, patience, and care. I understand how important it is for pet owners to trust the person watching their dog, so I always focus on being reliable, communicative, and attentive to each pet’s individual needs! I currently have a very open and flexible schedule, so I’m able to give pets lots of attention, and care throughout the day! I’m available for daytime visits, walks, and overnight stays, and I always try to keep pets comfortable by sticking to their normal routines as closely as possible! I always prioritize making pets feel safe, comfortable, and cared for while their owners are away. I pay close attention to each pet’s routine, behavior, and individual needs, and I make sure to follow any instructions provided carefully. Whether it’s feeding schedules, walks, medications, or just giving extra attention and comfort, I aim to create a calm and positive environment for every pet in my care! I also understand how important communication is, so I’m happy to provide regular updates and photos for peace of mind while you’re away!

About: I’ve always been an animal lover and genuinely enjoy spending time with pets of all personalities! I’m a proud cat mom and grew up with dogs of all sizes. I’m very comfortable with feeding, cleaning up waste, walks, playtime, cuddles, and keeping a pet’s routine consistent. I’m patient, attentive, and treat every pet like they’re my own. I know how important it is to feel comfortable leaving your fur baby with someone you trust, and I’ll make sure they get plenty of love, attention, and care while you’re away.

I’ll make sure your pets are safe, doors are locked, and everything is left clean and secure. I’ll also follow your instructions closely so you can feel completely comfortable while you’re away.
About: I have had dogs around me since I was brought home from the hospital. I have helped raise puppies, cared for senior dogs with medical issues, and many of the types of things you might run into in between! I am a proud dog mom to my dog Scrappy, and I’ve had him for 7 years! He has his own medical issues, so I’m familiar with strict diets, meds, and all the things that come with that! I am an elementary PE teacher during the week and happy to help you with your fur babies in the evenings after work, on days off of work, and on weekends! For overnights and boarding, I am available Friday evenings- Sunday evenings! I am able to help on weekdays anytime after 4:30pm until about 10:30pm- some wiggle room on both ends of that!

For overnights and boarding, I am available Friday evenings-Sunday evenings. I do my very best to honor whatever rules/wants/wishes/needs the owners have- whether I am taking care of their dogs in their home or mine!

“Debra was awesome! I can’t say enough good things about her. I booked her months in advance for a 2 week house/dog sitting job while we were out of the country. I had never before left my babies for such a long time and wanted to make sure I found the right person. I feel like we threw her a lot of curveballs with last minute changes and problems during her stay and she just rolled with the punches. She was so flexible and understanding. Our only concern from all the pictures and messages she sent was how spoiled rotten our little Bailey would be when we got home 🤣. Debra is the best - 5 stars ⭐️ ⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️!”
About: I’ve been raised around animals my whole life, so understanding what makes dogs feel safe, happy, and well-cared for is second nature to me. Instead of basic sitting, I focus on giving pets my full attention through reliable daily walks and safe, stress-free transport. Having spent a lifetime owning and caring for dogs, I treat every animal I work with with the same patience and love I give my own. I have hands-on experience caring for both dogs and cats, including managing and administering daily medications with ease. I work part-time as an aesthetician and nail tech and take my college classes online full-time, which leaves me with a super flexible daily schedule. Since I study from home, I have plenty of time between classes and work shifts to dedicate to pet care. Fitting in regular drop-in visits, walks, and check-ins throughout the day is really easy for me, so your pet will always get timely, hands-on attention. Growing up with animals my whole life, keeping pets safe and comfortable is just automatic for me. When I’m out on walks or transporting pets, I always double-check harnesses, keep leashes secure, and make sure cats are safely in their carriers. Since I have years of experience giving medications and reading animal body language, I stay super focused on how they’re feeling so nothing catches us off guard. I treat every pet with the same constant care and eye for safety that I’ve always given my own
About: I grew up with pets my whole life I my siblings parents always had pets so I helped take care of them 6 years ago I got my own dog and have been taking care of him since. I also had to take care of my sisters cat about 2 years ago and she was the best. I love animals and I will take care of any pet as if they were my own. My schedule is always free so I can take care of pets anytime anyday I’m always available to love and care for a pet everyday. I care for pets by showing them love and affection and feeding them and walking or letting them out in my yard for some air I will play with them they will always have my attention all the time while I am taking care of them because I love animals so much.
“We were hesitant at first for ANYONE to watch our girls since this was our first time using Rover. When we did a meet and greet, we wanted the girls to trust the person they would be seeing for a few days. We had our doggy cam and we saw how happy they would be with Elena at times playing and getting hugs. The pictures proved they enjoyed her presence and were being taken care of. We were happy with the effort and care she gave for our girls as a doggy lover and would book Elena again for future trips again.”
“Terri was awesome! She arrived on time and communication was great. She took such good care of Reba! We had a couple storms and Terri made sure Reba felt safe and treated her like her own. I highly recommend Teri and definitely will use her again!”
The median cost per night for house sitting in Harlem Heights is $60
Pet parents share their Rover experiences - Harlem Heights
Taylor is the best dog sitter we’ve ever hired on rover! If she’s available, book her! She is trustworthy, goes above and beyond following instructions and sends daily photos and updates including the dogs behavior and any little things she noticed. We were so happy that our dogs were so well cared for. We will absolutely hire her again. 😊
Sarah was wonderful with our newly injured english bulldog. We went out of town and booked her last minute and she was able to step up and help us out in a big way. She sent photos and updates and was particular about giving our dog meds and attention while we were gone!!
Miranda was awesome! She watched my large, sometimes reactive, pup for a long weekend at my home. She took her on walks, played with her, brushed her hair/teeth, and kept up with her supplements and snacks. She made me feel very comfortable while I was away! Luna seemed well taken care of and happy when I got back.
We had a great experience with Mary caring for our two golden retrievers in our home for a week! She is extremely dependable and went all out to keep our girls happy while we were gone. She is an excellent communicator and kept us well-informed all week. Plus, she took excellent care of our home. We felt our girls were in great hands and we would definitely book with Mary again.

The average cost of House Sitting in Harlem Heights is $80 per night as of October 2026. Most bookings cost between $32 and $93 per night.

Beyond belly rubs and feeding schedules, a house sitter’s presence may provide an additional layer of security for your home. However, you will need to arrange overnight stays and other household tasks with your sitter when reaching out to them. Not all sitters offer the same services. Common household tasks you can negotiate include:
- Mail & deliveries: Collecting letters and packages so they don't pile up.
- Plant care: Keeping your indoor or outdoor garden hydrated.
- Trash & recycling: Taking trash cans to the curb on scheduled pickup days.
- Home security: Sitters can stay overnight to keep your home occupied.
The best way to align on expectations is during your free Meet & Greet. Use this time to provide a "home cheat sheet" that includes your preferred Harlem Heights walking routes, the location of your favorite pet store, and any specific quirks about your home’s security or appliances.
It’s helpful to think of house sitting as a "home base" service. Most sitters in Harlem Heights maintain their normal daily routines, like running errands or heading to the office, meaning your pet should be comfortable being alone for a few hours at a time. If your pet needs a little extra company, here is how to find the perfect match:
- Look for "WFH" sitters: Many sitters mention "Work from Home" on their profile to indicate they’ll be present for the majority of the day.
- Update your pet’s profile: Write down how long your pet can comfortably be left alone. This helps sitters quickly determine if their schedule aligns with your needs.
- Communicate 24/7 needs: Standard house sitting usually doesn't include constant supervision. If your pet requires round-the-clock care, be sure to discuss this upfront.
Tip: Use the Meet & Greet to confirm a sitter's typical "away" windows. Transparency ensures your pet stays happy and your sitter can plan their day effectively!
Key handling is entirely up to you and your sitter to agree on during the Meet & Greet or in the Rover app. Most pet parents in Harlem Heights choose to hand over a spare key or digital fob in person, while others arrange a lockbox or unique access code. Don't forget to discuss key returns as well!
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.
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 .
If a health concern arises during a stay, your sitter is instructed to contact you and our Trust & Safety team immediately and, if needed, take your pet to the closest veterinarian. Through our Trust & Safety support team, sitters can ask for diagnostic advice from a qualified veterinary professional if your pet is showing signs of possible illness.
For extra peace of mind, you can also prepare an authorization form for your regular vet. An authorization form outlines your preferred method of care and allows your sitter to bring your pet into their regular clinic.
Every qualified booking made on Rover is backed by the Rover Guarantee, which includes reimbursement for eligible emergency vet care.
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.
