“Catie was so wonderful to our pup during our weekend away! She came over in advance for a meet and greet and to understand the routines, sent regular updates, and administered oral medicine! We’d be happy to have her back anytime she’s available!”
“Kamryn did a fantastic job watching our dog Stanley! She was excellent at communicating with us, and provided Stanley with all the snuggles and treats! Highly recommend!”
“Katherine was professional, communicative, so thorough, detailed and caring when watching our pups during a family weekend out of town trip we went on. She watched 2 of our pups, gave us very timely updates, followed all of our instructions to the t, has such a kind warm personality. We highly recommend and definitely will be hiring Katherine again!”
“Dawn and her son Adam were professional and fabulous from our very first communication with them about house- and dog-sitting for us. Adam and Finn took to each other immediately, we felt entirely comfortable leaving Finn in Adam’s capable hands, and it was obvious to us upon our return that Adam had taken immaculate care of both Finn and our home for the week we were away. We look forward to having Adam come back to stay with Finn soon. Thank you both so much!”
“Tenielle is an outstanding pet sitter. She was reliable, communicated regularly, shared photos of our two pups during our ten-day vacation, and took care of them and our home in a caring and responsible way. She was willing to go the extra mile by bringing in our mail and watering houseplants. We will definitely use Tenielle's services again!”
“Maggie was so realiable. She stayed more than I initially suggested and I my pets genuinely felt comfortable with her. I will definitely book her for any future needs. Grateful to have met her”
“We had the pleasure of hiring Tara to house and puppy sit for us for a week while we went on a vacation. Tara was terrific. She is a mature and responsible young woman who I highly recommend. Tara is very knowledgeable about dogs as she works at a Vet hospital. Tara is warm and friendly and is very accommodating. We were stuck for an extra day on vacation due to bad weather and she took care of everything. She communicates well. Gave us regular reports and photos. We will hire her again.”
About: I’ve been around dogs my entire life and have had my own Shih-poo (Zoey) for the past 9 years. I know how important it is to have someone reliable, patient and caring looking after your dog. I’m dependable, responsible, and happy to follow your instructions about your dog’s routine to ensure a safe and comfortable time with them. Pet care is my primary focus right now, so I have a flexible schedule and can dedicate my weekdays to caring for your dog. I’m primarily available Monday through Friday, especially mornings through 5pm. I’m happy to work with your regular routine and provide dependable, consistent care during the day. I’m not currently offering weekend services. I take your dog’s safety seriously and will follow your instructions regarding leashes, doors, feeding, treats, and anything else that is part of their routine. I’ll treat your home with respect and make sure your dog is comfortable, supervised, and cared for throughout my visit. I do not currently offer pet care in my own home.
“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.”
About: Animals are not only my passion, but my lifestyle. From an early age I began volunteering at my local humane society, focusing on socializing problem cats. Since then I’ve worked in nearly every area of the pet industry. From vet offices, to horse farms, to dog training. My primary focus has become care, nutrition, and behaviorism. I have an Aussie mix, rescue cat, and even rescue horse! My philosophy is to treat your pets the same as I would mine. After all, they’re family! With my extensive background, I’m comfortable handling mostly any animal, and know how to ensure they’re comfortable around me. Pets are my career, through and through. I’m happy to accommodate to any special needs and provide a flexible schedule. I do have my own car, so transportation is never an issue. While I do not currently offer boarding at my home, I am happy to modify my routine or offerings to best fit you and your pet’s needs. Going away can be stressful, and leaving your pet at home can be nerve wracking for you and your fur baby. I do my best to provide consistent open communication and keep routines as normal as possible so your pet’s stress is as minimized as possible (and your own!) I treat your pet with the same love and care as my own.
“Cecilia was so awesome! She was attentive and diligent with all the care instructions. She sent updates with pics each day and my cat clearly loved her. I came home to an extremely clean and tidy home and a very happy kitty. Highly recommend Cecilia to care for your pets!”
About: With over 20 years of experience, I’ve had the joy of caring for dogs like they’re family—whether in my home or yours. From cozy long-term boarding to reliable weekly daycare, I offer friendly, professional care tailored to your dog’s needs. Whether your pup loves cuddles, playtime, or just a calm, trusted presence, I provide a safe and loving environment where tails wag and hearts are happy. As a full-time flight attendant, I have a flexible and adaptable schedule that allows me to provide consistent, quality pet care. I share my home with Theo, my small, friendly miniature Goldendoodle, who loves meeting new furry friends and adds a playful, social energy to our routine. Caring for dogs fits naturally into my lifestyle—it’s something I truly enjoy and prioritize. In my home, pets are treated like part of the family. I live in a secured-access, pet-friendly building with a 24-hour front desk, providing both comfort and peace of mind. Whether it’s playtime, walks, meals, or cuddles, I follow each pet’s specific routine to make sure they feel safe, loved, and right at home. I keep a clean, calm environment and provide regular updates to ensure owners feel just as at ease as their pets. When caring for pets in a client’s home, I respect their space and routines—maintaining consistency in feeding, exercise, and any special instructions provided. I always aim to leave the home just as I found it, with a happy pet waiting at the door.
“Joe did a great job taking care of Luna. We felt comfortable that our dog and our house were in good hands. It seemed like Joe really bonded with Luna and that he genuinely enjoys working with animals.”
“Jackson was absolutely fantastic as a sitter for Rufus. Incredibly polite, a calm and kind demeanour and really communicative - Jackson sent us some updates whilst we were away to show how Rufus was getting on. We would thoroughly recommend Jackson for dog sitting - he is very knowledgeable about dogs and Rufus definitely relaxed in his company. Jackson is extremely trustworthy too and thoughtful - he asked plenty of additional questions about what Rufus likes and dislikes. Thank you Jackson we will definitely use you again to look after Rufus!”
About: Hi! I'm Chaqutia, the person behind C's Cozy Canine Club! I'm an animal lover with 12 years of pet care experience, and I genuinely enjoy getting to know each pet's unique personality, needs, and routine. I believe pets are family, and they deserve to feel safe, comfortable, and loved even when their favorite people aren't home. I have experience caring for puppies, adult dogs, and senior pets, including administering oral medications and providing extra attention to pets who need a little more patience and TLC. I also offer cat care! I currently specialize in care where your pets feel most comfortable: their own home. Whether you need overnight house sitting, a midday drop-in, or someone to take your pup on a refreshing walk, I'll make sure their routine receives the attention it deserves. You can also expect regular pictures, videos, and updates because I know how reassuring it is to see your babies happy and doing well while you're away. Beyond pet care, I'm happy to help with small household tasks such as watering plants and bringing in mail or packages upon request. I look forward to meeting you and becoming someone you and your furry family can count on! A little more about my care style: Patient, attentive, dependable, and always tailored to the individual pet. Every animal deserves to feel like family. 🐾 As a stay at home mom of two, I have a flexible daily routine that allows me to accommodate pet care visits, scheduled walks, and overnight house sitting. I enjoy incorporating pet care into my schedule and making sure each pet receives the attention, exercise, and companionship they need. I prioritize reliability and communication, so I work with pet parents to establish a schedule that fits their pets' routines and expectations. Whether it's a morning walk, an afternoon drop-in, or overnight care, I want you to feel confident knowing your pets are in caring hands. Since I specialize in in-home pet care, I focus on making sure your pets feel comfortable and secure in their own familiar environment. I follow your instructions closely, maintain established routines, and take the time to understand your pet's individual needs, personality, and any special care requirements. Safety is always a priority. I make sure doors, gates, leashes, and feeding areas are handled properly, medications are administered according to your instructions, and your home is treated with the utmost respect. I also believe communication is an important part of trust. You'll receive regular updates, pictures, and videos so you can stay connected with your pets while you're away.
“Gabriella was wonderful with our puppy, Benita! She was very caring, reliable, and made us feel comfortable leaving Benita in her care. We would definitely be happy to have her watch Benita again. Highly recommend!”

Pet parents share their Rover experiences - Hartsdale
Catie has stayed with our dogs several times. She is great about sending pictures every day along with some commentary every so often. Catie doesn’t hesitate to contact us if she has a question which we really appreciate. My dogs are completely relaxed and happy when we get home. Highly recommend!
Yuri was great. We contacted her for a last minute trip and she stopped by so we could review the different types of food for our three dogs. Although we were uncertain about leaving our dogs at home, we eased our minds with frequent photos and updates. She was very flexible with our requests and there was no delay in any communications that took place. We recommend her without any reservations and we look forward to requesting her assistance in the future. Thank you Yuri.
Madison took phenomenal care of our cat Romeo when we were out of town. She made us feel at ease that Romeo was well taken care of and receiving great care and plenty of love. She sent lots of pictures and was sure to ask questions whenever needed. We would undoubtably rebook with Madison for our next time out of town!

Frequently asked questions about Rover
The average cost of House Sitting in Hartsdale is $72 per night as of November 2026. Most bookings cost between $36 and $137 per night. 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.

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 Hartsdale 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 Hartsdale 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 Hartsdale 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.
Yes, you can find sitters who have experience with handling special pet needs in Hartsdale. On Rover:
- 85% of sitters can help with special care needs
- 89% can help with giving oral medications or injections
- 95% 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.
