About: I’ve been caring for pets for most of my life, with over 25 years of experience looking after cats and more than 20 years as a proud dog dad. What started as “the kids’ cats” quickly turned into a lifelong love of feline companionship—because, as any cat owner knows, they always decide who their person is! I currently share my home with two cats and truly enjoy getting to know each cat’s unique personality, routines, and preferences. As a longtime dog parent as well, I understand how important consistency, patience, and affection are for dogs of all ages and energy levels. From walks and mealtimes to playtime and quiet companionship, I’m comfortable providing the care and attention pets need to feel safe and happy while you’re away. I treat every pet as if they were my own and take pride in creating a calm, loving environment. If you’re looking for someone dependable, experienced, and genuinely excited to care for your furry family member, I’d love to help. I just retired from the Army. I have a lot of time on my hands. Your fury family member will be my first priority of the day! All special needs will be met for your animals. If your dog or dogs need crated for the night you can rest assure that all protocols will be followed to the letter of instructions left.

“We have used Emily before and Max just loves her. She takes great care of him and he loves that he can set on her lap and cuddle. Emily is very respectful of our home and you can't even tell she was there. We will definitely be using Emily again when the need arises. Thank you Emily”

Pet parents share their Rover experiences - Harlem Heights
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!!
James was amazing with my pitty! He stayed at my place with her for a week and followed her schedule and my directions perfectly. He was able to administer her daily oral medication and found her a new hangout spot on the lanai when she got antsy. My place was spotless when I got home and I was able to enjoy my vacation without having to worry about my dogter. James is the best!!
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.
Heather was amazing taking care of our sweet boy, Blue! She stayed at our place during our wedding weekend and amidst all the business both my husband and I had that weekend, we managed to feel relaxed and at ease knowing Heather was there. She sent daily pictures and updates and Blue looked like he was having a blast. She left the place spotless and even cleaned washed the bedding! We will definitely be using her again
Cecie was so sweet with our doggy Bear! This was our first time leaving Bear since he was diagnosed with heart disease and needs to be given regular pills. We were nervous to leave him. Cecie made us feel super comfortable. She gave regular updates on how he was doing. I recommend her to anyone who has animals with special needs!! Your baby will be in good hands.

FAQs for House Sitting - Harlem Heights
Frequently asked questions about Rover
The average cost for House Sitting in Harlem Heights on Rover is $69.55 per night (as of July 2026). However, all sitters set their own rates based on experience, location, and availability.
Rover makes budgeting the cost of House Sitting easy. As long as your dates and pet profiles are correct, the price you see before you book is the same price you pay for House Sitting. For more information on service fees, click here .
As of July 2026, there are 1,029 sitters on Rover offering House Sitting across Harlem Heights. Enter your ZIP code to see which available sitters are closest to your home.
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 Rover Guarantee , 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 Rover's Trust & Safety page .
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 short introductory meeting between you, your pet, 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.
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.

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.
