“Had a very good experience with Ruth. She is kind and great with pets. My timid and grieving dog was very happy when I came home. I’m sure she took great care of her.”
“Jenna was an amazing sitter for our dog Zeke and our house! We were gone for two weeks and Jenna made sure to keep in touch and send pics throughout that time. Her authentic affection for dogs was so clear from the first meeting. We’d absolutely book Jenna again!!”
“I’m not kidding, I’m tempted to gatekeep but won’t because Alyssa deserves all the love and dog jobs in the world. Seriously, best dog sitter ever. Thoughtful, sent daily summaries and photos, my reactive dog was so HAPPY!!! I feel truly lucky to have found her. 10/10. She is the best. Will rebook again and again and again as long as she wants to keep watching pups.”
“Catie is a total rockstar! We have three dogs and three cats—a full-blown pet circus—and she handled them all like a pro. Each one has their own little quirks and Catie somehow kept everyone happy, fed, and loved. She sent us the best photo updates (seriously frame-worthy), and we came home to a house that was cleaner than we left it! It’s always tough to travel when you’ve got a small zoo at home, but Catie gave us total peace of mind. If she can handle our crew, she can handle anything. Highly recommend!”
“Aaliyah stayed in our home for 4 nights watching our cat and dog - she was truly unbelievable and made us feel at ease while traveling. She sent constant updates, photos, videos and went above and beyond to take care of our pets and to make sure we felt comfortable. She left our home spotless, took in our packages and was very responsive. Our pets are excited to see Aaliyah again!”
“We were fortunate to have Dana house sit for us on relatively short notice. She watched our 13 year old dog and 2 cats. We received updates and came home to some happy pets and a tidy house.”
“Grace was an incredible find!! My dog loved her from the moment he met her! I was totally at ease leaving her with him for the weekend. She sent a ton of pictures and was in constant contact with me. My dog looked so happy with her taking care of him. I highly recommend her if you are looking for a caring sitter for your pet!!!!!”
“Tenielle took great care of our two dogs in our home while we were away for 3 days. She was highly responsive, prompt and most importantly our dogs loved her. We look forward to working with her again!”
“Kelsey was wonderful with our dogs while we escaped for a weekend away. She kept us appropriately up to date and ensured they got exercise and love. We came home to a clean house and happy, content dogs.”
About: Ever since I was a child, I have always been a pet sitter. For as long as I can remember, I have walked, dropped in, and boarded pets of neighbor, friend, and family member. I especially love working and specialize with high energy dogs that need their daily zoomies. Additionally, as a former dog owner myself, I am familiar with what’s needed to keep your pup happy! I’m currently a law student, but I am go-getter and will find the time to fit your pets with my current class schedule. My availability is as follows: Monday: 4-10pm Tuesday: 2-10pm Wednesday: 7am-1pm. Thursday 11:00am-10pm Friday 1pm-10pm Saturday and Sunday: All Day availability I will be comfortable with whatever tasks you require of me to ensure your pets are well-taken care of; whether it be dropping in just to feed them, playing with them, etc. For walks, I’m comfortable with any level of activity necessary. Whether it’s just around the block or entire neighborhood, I will have no issues keeping up with your pet!
“Crystal is amazing! She was warm and kind and my fur babies were very well taken care of! The best part - she communicated updates and sent photos very regularly which is what I had asked for. I was very confident that my babies were in loving and caring hands! I highly recommend Crystal!”
“Topazio was great with our pups and was awesome with communications and updating us with photos from time to time as well. Would definitely recommend her to watch and take care of your pets as well. :)”
“Rochelle was absolutely wonderful, and we couldn’t have asked for a better dogsitter. She came by before the sitting to meet us, get familiar with our pets, and learn her way around the house. Since we weren’t home, we arranged her arrival in advance, and everything worked perfectly. She was completely comfortable finding her way around the house and handled all of our pets with confidence and care. It was clear from the start that Rochelle is responsible, professional, and genuinely loves animals. She took excellent care of our pets, kept everything in order, and somehow even left the house looking nicer than when she arrived! We can highly recommend Rochelle. Her friendly nature, professionalism, reliability, and the wonderful care she gave our pets gave us complete peace of mind while we were away. We would absolutely have her sit for us again!”
“Lori was dependable and reliable. She stayed at my house and took great care of our dog Sammy. She is truely an animal lover. She sent photos and texts during her stay updating me on Sammy's care. She left my house immaculate. I would highly recommend her.”
“Claire is absolutely the best dog sitter you could find. We came home from an extended trip to find out senior dog calm and happy after Claire’s overnight stays at our home. Claire sent photos, videos and text updates daily which were lovely and reassuring.”
About: I have had my own pets since I can remember ranging from cats, dogs, iguanas, hamsters, fish, salamanders, hermit crabs, and even chicks. Growing up, I spent my summers on my grandfather's farm raising cows, horses, pigs, cats, dogs, chickens and a rooster. I don't have and human kids but I have raised many fur babies. I am the go-to person for family and friends, especially for pets with very specific care instructions. I am in NYC; I drive and have a pretty flexible schedule at this time. My career outside of pets includes Human Resources Management and Operation Director at different schools. I am currently working for myself as a treat maker so I am very flexible with time. I also have a clean license and reliable transportation. I am currently in NYC but can travel to Westchester County and northern NJ as well. I love when a client gives me detailed instructions and will follow them to a tee. I am a very organized person with a high attention to detail who often goes above and beyond in everything I do. Because I have worked with children and at schools, I have been fingerprinted by NYS/NYC, Dept of Health and the NYC Dept of Ed.
“Kimberly was great! She stayed over our house during Christmas Eve and Christmas and sent photos throughout her stay. Our place was left very clean and our dogs were well taken care of. I will definitely use her in the future!”
About: I’m reviving my Rover profile from pre covid! I have over 10 years of animal care experience and am comfortable with dogs of all sizes and personalities. I work full-time in property management, but my flexible schedule often allows me to bring dogs with me throughout the day. I love walks, playtime, and giving dogs plenty of attention and care. I’ll treat your pets like my own! 🐶❤️ I work full-time doing property management in New Rochelle. My schedule is super flexible, so I can still keep some company, like your fur baby. I live with my grandparents, who have a large private yard. My workplace has a pet park on the roof and a pet-friendly cafe on the street. Perfect place for pup cups!
About: Dearest Pet owners, My name is Annabelle and I have had a passion for animals since I was 6, and specifically for dogs. My aunt runs The Good Dog Foundation, hence I have been fortunate enough, since a young age, to deal with all breeds of dogs, rescued or bought, obedient or less; and so forth. I feel I have a special connection to dogs, in particular. I most definitely spend more time with dogs than humans. I talk to my dogs, walk with them, run with them, go to the country house and go on hikes with them. I strongly believe in being outside as much as possible, and feeding my dogs the most healthy food. I do also believe in sharing my surroundings with them, meaning i let my dogs go on my bed, and sofa. Though no begging at the table is allowed, and I have fix hours they are fed, I believe in routine. They are like children. They need a lot of love. This is what I will be providing for your dog. Sincerely, Annabelle P.

Jennifer did a great job watching our dog while we attended funeral services for a beloved family member. Jennifer figured out quickly how to best care for our dog and it was a relief for us. She was very accommodating and positive. I will definitely contact Jennifer again when we are in the area. Thank you Jennifer!
Jasmine was terrific! Our boy Jack is a big insecure baby. He took to Jasmine right away. We went away for the first time able to leave Jack in his favorite environment, home. We got a photo everyday and correspondence on what was going on. Felt very much in touch. Thank you Jasmine. We will hopefully be able to book with you again soon.
Marcela was the best care we could have hoped for for our dog and cat during a long weekend! She was extremely communicative, went out of her way to make us feel comfortable, sent photos and updates several times per day and took gentle care of our pets (especially during July 4 fireworks). We can’t wait for Marcela to stay with our girls again and are very grateful we found her!
I’m not kidding, I’m tempted to gatekeep but won’t because Alyssa deserves all the love and dog jobs in the world. Seriously, best dog sitter ever. Thoughtful, sent daily summaries and photos, my reactive dog was so HAPPY!!! I feel truly lucky to have found her. 10/10. She is the best. Will rebook again and again and again as long as she wants to keep watching pups.
We have used Gabriela’s services prior to this time. She continues to make us feel relaxed when we are away knowing our Jax in good hands. She has a caring, thoughtful and gentle mannerism which is good for Jax. He is in his senior years so gentleness is key for his well being. Gabriela is a responsible sitter and took very good care of our home. I would strongly recommend using her services.

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 Harrison 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 Harrison 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.
<b>Tip:</b> 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 Harrison 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 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 Meet & Greet .
sitters on Rover set their own cancellation policy , 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.
