About: I've cared for pets since I was 16 years old. I helped my family, friends, and neighbors when they needed someone to take care of their pet(s). I've cared for a ton of pets ranging from fish, hermit crabs, birds, bunnies, gerbils, hamsters, cats, to dogs. I love dogs so much I created a dog blog on the side as a hobby. I am currently writing remotely from home for work with a flexible schedule with time to also take care of your pet during most of the hours. I am easily able to take care of my own dog with ease. I have a little teddybear dog of my own, and completely understand the love and care pets receive from their owners. I get that it is your baby you do not need to worry. I will respect, honor, and care for your pet just as you would.

About: I currently am a proud cat parent, but have taken care of my own, and other’s dogs since I was a kid. I would love to help out with any walking needs for your furry family member! No dog is too big or too small and I’m familiar with puppies and senior dogs as well. My main priority is healthy, happy pets! I currently work a full-time 9-5 hybrid schedule. I am available 5 pm onward on the weekdays, and flexible on weekends. Please reach out for morning availability as well, depending on location I may be able to accommodate you. I will utilize whatever walking materials (leash, harness, travel water bowls, etc.) that are preferred by you. I will happily provide these items if no unique preferences are requested.

Great hour check-in with Willie and Molly while she has been in an e-collar with an eye injury. Loved the photos and messaging when she arrived and left.

About: Experienced pet owner and County College of Morris graduate has open availability throughout the week to care for your inter-species family in the Rockland County, NY area. Animal CPR and first aid certified. I offer the following services: -drop-in visits to your home to walk, feed and care for companion animals. -clean up feces from doggie play yard and clean up any indoor accidents as required. -dog walking for dogs under 60 lbs -doggie daycare (Mon, Wed, Fri from 7:45am- 5:45pm). I must inform you that at this time I am a student and student teacher who may attend classes during the day; however, the classes are short- usually 30 minutes in length and commuting time is usually 20 minutes. Therefore your dog must be able to be left at home alone for ONE HOUR in a crate for safety reasons. I can adjust my schedule for repeat clients, dogs with crate anxiety or puppies who need continuous care but please make such a request in advance out of respect for my students and mentors. Much appreciated.❤️ -detailed daily report card of how your pet spent their day -due to welfare and health concerns relating to premature spay and neuter, I accept puppies under one year of age who have not yet been spayed/neutered. -doggie playtime and exercise: fetch, tug-of-war, enrichment toys and activities, basic obedience training, basic agility exercises -cat care: scoop litterboxes and sweep and tidy their space, feed, water, keep pet dishes tidy, and TLC and play. I am careful to remove all toys from play area which pose a hazard (cat playing wands). I have had dogs all my life and I have hands-on experience with resolving housebreaking issues and puppy training (basic obedience training). I have an Associate of Arts in International Studies and graduated in 2014. I currently have a dog, 2 cats (bonded pair) and 2 rabbits (bonded pair). In the past I have had cats, dogs, rabbits, hermit crabs, fire-bellied toads, newts, and parakeets. I've always loved nature and animals. I love hiking with my dog, and it is an important part of my life. All my pets see the vet annually and are vaccinated in accordance with the laws of the town where I live. I am a student teacher of music who offers music classes to all ages (pop, rock, country, R&B). Dog walking twice daily. Exercised in yard throughout the day. Shadow eats Merrick twice daily. Cats: I interact with my 2 cats morning and night. I pet them and play with them every evening. Clean-up is done every morning. They are fed twice daily, morning and night. Litterboxes are cleaned every other day. Cats: Litter boxes scooped and refreshed every other day. Cats are fed once daily in the morning and are given dry food to graze the rest of the day. Dog: Dog walking twice a day (she is in the yard while I WFH.) Dog is fed twice daily. Rabbits fed twice daily (hay, fresh veggies and pellets). Clean-up every 3 days (waste hay is removed from litterboxes and replaced with fresh hay).

Nicole was amazing! She was punctual, paid close attention to details, and was ready to help out issues in my apartment. She sent me pic of my cat everyday while I was away, which gave me a sense of comfort for my cat. I’ll definitely ask her to help me again in the future!

I have used April once, but intend to use her again soon. She is responsive and thorough whenever I contact her. She sent an adorable photo of my dog from her drop-in visit. I feel overall that I can trust that she will be there when she needs to be and do what I have asked of her.

Last 5 years I have been pet sitting outside of family & friends pets. I am experienced in small-medium sized dogs mainly. I've never pet sit a cat before but i do have a cat of my own! Currently, the pets i have in the house are two dogs, 1 cat and 1 reptile. I work full time, 2 days out of the week I work from home. My hours are flexible so if changes are needed no worries! I do not work weekends. At my home: I have a fenced in yard. If your pet has special requirements i will follow those requirements without a problem. My home will be their home during their stay. My house isn’t set up like a boarding school. They will hang with us in the living room, follow us throughout the house if they want too. If you have special rules, I will follow them. I have two dogs, the dogs i pet-sit would have to be ok with dogs. I have a cat who mainly remains downstairs with my son. If your dog does not like cats that will not be a problem. Clients home: your house, your rules! i will follow the schedule you have for your pets!

Wow. I can’t say enough about the quality of care Brandon provided to our active dog Coco (who needed medicine administered and extra TLC during his visit) and our kitty Cora. His communication with us and the animals was wonderful, he updated us in real time, and everyone was in great shape when we arrived home. We’ll definitely be rebooking with Brandon!

About: I was raised around animals my entire life and was the primary care taker! I haven’t lived a day of my life that didn’t involve a pet. My family is big on dogs and every family member has one of their own. I’ve cared for senior dogs and dogs of all sizes. I’m passionate about dog care and consider going into an animal field career! I have experience with cats as well and truly love all animals and aim only for the best care to our furry friends. I work Monday-Thursday 7am-2pm but other than that I have open availability. I’m able to drive and am open to all services. My summer has a lot of availability as I am a student. My care includes my personal knowledge but I follow instructions given as the owner knows their furry friend best. I have always lived with animals and have been there for the ups and downs for each of them. Pets will be given proper care including potty breaks, regulated feeding, and proper engagement to make sure they get all their boxes checked. I truly enjoy spending time with animals and cater to their needs!

About: I have always been a pet person. I’ve lived my whole life always having a pet. Whether that’s dogs, cats, bunnies, guinea pigs, or even fish! I love all animals and have even done wildlife rehab rescues. I’ve had experience dog sitting as well as dog walking. I know that every dog is different so I adjust to every pets needs, no two dogs are the same and every one is special in their own way :) Weekdays i'm available in the afternoons till however late is necessary. Weekends my schedule is practically wide open! My personal at home routine with my animals includes walks, food, water, play time,and anything in between! I have a large fenced in yard that my dog loves to run around in! I have a car too if any transport is needed, equipped with safety for dogs in the car! When I take dogs for walks I always bring a travel water bottle for them as well as snacks! I place a huge importance on dogs safety and health so on walks I will always go with the dogs pace and never push them past their limits, on really hot days we will stop for shade and water breaks!

About: Growing up with dogs taught me something early: pets are family. Outside of my full-time remote tech consulting gig, I provide high-touch based pet care for families throughout Westchester and Manhattan. My goal is simple: create a calm, trusted second home where your dog feels genuinely safe and loved. I intentionally keep bookings limited so every dog receives individualized attention, consistency, and companionship. Whether your pup is energetic and playful, senior, recovering from surgery, or simply loves a calm environment, I tailor care around their exact routine and personality. What makes Kristine different: ✓ 100% work-from-home flexibility ✓ Fenced backyard + Hudson River walks ✓ Real-time photo/video updates ✓ Pick-up/drop-off assistance available ✓ Medication administration experience ✓ Senior & post-surgery support ✓ Calm, low-volume household ✓ Overnight house sitting with light home care included For pet parents who home-cook meals, I’m also happy to prepare fresh dog meals in my home using your provided ingredients. For house sitting clients, I believe premium service should feel complete. In addition to caring for your pet, I help maintain peace of mind by bringing in packages/mail, taking out trash, watering plants, and keeping your home tidy. I’m building long-term relationships with both dogs and their owners. Many of my clients become repeat families, and that trust means everything to me. Let’s schedule a meet & greet and see if we’re a great fit for each other. 🤍 My work-from-home schedule provides complete flexibility for boarding, house sitting, walks, feeding, and bathing. I have my own vehicle to help with pick-ups and drop-offs. My home has a fenced backyard, and located close to the Hudson River, offering safe outdoor access and scenic trail walks. For house sitting, I maintain your pet's exact routine in their familiar environment while also helping collect mail/packages, watering plants, and light cleaning to ensure you return to a tidy home.

About: Myself and my family are dog lovers. We loved all of our dogs Kelly, Snowball, Shadow, Maggie and Honey. We no longer have any pets but myself, my husband, and 2 children ( a girl 24 years old & boy 21 years old) would love to love and take care of your dog(s). We have lots of space for your pet to run around and have lots of attention and fun. I will have more than one dog at a time if it is agreed upon with both families. We love dogs of all size and breed. We love puppies and senior dogs as well. Between myself, my husband and 2 children (24 & 21 years old) someone is pretty much around most of the time, and love doing this. I have a fenced yard that they can roam free in. They are allowed anywhere they want in the house. They are allowed on furniture and beds.

About: I've always been happiest when I am around furry friends. I have worked in a Veterinary Office in thr past for 5 years and have gained a vast amount of knowledge of all different types of dogs & cats and understand they all have their own individual needs. I am able to administer medicine, take on long walks, even more active ones if requested being that I am very active myself. And for my senior dogs I am aware some need to go out more, or help with stairs etc. Some even love to get into things and need to be looked over a little more! I am very caring and trustworthy and will give your dog the best experience & care to meet your standard, keeping them happy, healthy & safe. References also available at request. I currently work part time with a very flexible schedule and a lot of open availability. Since I make my own schedule at work I am flexible. I care for pets at their own homes where I find it to be the best to stay in their environment and comfortable where I can come and stay with them or take care of them as needed.

About: I'm 36 years old and had a dog for 14 years but passed a couple years ago. He was also diabetic for 4 years and I have experience with giving insulin. I also got 2 months worth of dog behavior training when I worked at a doggy resort. I work from home so it's a perfect situation for me to take care of your pups. I love taking walking breaks from my work day so your pup will get plenty of walks in if they want to. I absolutely adore dogs, friends & family have looked to me to take care of their pets while they were away. My dog was like my son, so I will treat your dog like he/she is a member of the family. I work from home so your pup would be home with me a majority of the time. I only leave for an hour or two to the gym a couple times a week. Your pup will be safe in my home. I do not have a fenced yard but there's plenty of space to go on walks and will be leashed. A lot of my neighbors go on walks with their dogs in the neighborhood. Your dog's happiness & safety is always number 1 and I'm always available via text if you want to check up. I'll send you adorable photos too :)

Lauren was absolutely amazing with our puppy, Mila! We couldn’t have asked for a better experience. She kept us updated throughout the visits, checked in regularly, and provided plenty of photos, which gave us so much peace of mind while we were away. It was so reassuring to see how quickly Mila trusted Lauren and how much she enjoyed spending time with her. Lauren is incredibly sweet, caring, and attentive, and it was clear that Mila was in great hands. We would 1000% book with Lauren again and highly recommend her to anyone looking for someone trustworthy and compassionate!

Stephanie was absolutely amazing with my dog, Dior! From the moment we met her, I could tell she genuinely loves and cares for animals. Leaving your dog with someone else can always feel stressful, but she made the entire experience so comfortable and reassuring. She kept me updated, treated Dior like family, and made sure he was happy, safe, and well cared for the entire time. Dior came home relaxed, happy, and clearly very loved while he was with her, which says everything. Stephanie is reliable, kind, attentive, and truly goes above and beyond. I’m so grateful to have found someone I can fully trust with my baby. I highly recommend her to anyone looking for a caring and dependable pet sitter. Thank you again, Stephanie, for taking such amazing care of Dior! 🐾❤️

FAQs for Drop-In Visits - Haverstraw

Frequently asked questions about Rover

The average cost for Dog Sitting in Haverstraw on Rover is $27.75 per visit (as of July 2026). However, all sitters set their own rates based on experience, location, and availability.

Rover makes budgeting the cost of Dog 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 Dog Sitting. For more information on service fees, click here .

As of July 2026, there are 23,795 sitters on Rover offering Dog Sitting across Haverstraw. Enter your ZIP code to see which available sitters are closest to your home.

A pet sitter can provide focused care sessions, help your pet’s routine stay on track, or keep you updated on your pet’s mood and energy levels.

Whether you’re at the office for the day or traveling for a few nights, a pet sitter can offer potty breaks during a Haverstraw stroll, cleaning the litter box, or making sure your pet has on-time food or water refills. For daytime services like walking and drop-ins, you can also request sitters to send a report card with every visit.

Tip: You can discuss your specific arrangements with a pet sitter on Rover to what fits you, your pet, and your sitter’s needs. To find what their special skills are, look at the "Skills" and "Pet care experience" sections on their profile.

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 Haverstraw 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!

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 .

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.

A Meet & Greet is a short introductory meeting between you, your dog, 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.

While Rover doesn’t offer traditional subscription services, some sitters offer recurring bookings for services like home visits and dog walking. Recurring services come with their own perks, such as flexibility to modify services (up to five weeks in advance), automatic billing, Rover Card updates, and same-day cancellations.

To find sitters in Haverstraw with recurring or weekly availability, select "Repeat Weekly" and which days you’d like them to care for your pet.

Yes, you can find sitters who have experience with handling special pet needs in Haverstraw. On Rover:

  • 88% of sitters can help with special care needs
  • 92% 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.

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.
