“Elizabeth is really great with our 2 dachshunds. She took the time to get to know them, and she clearly loves dogs! She's a great communicator and sends us picture updates, which gives us a lot of peace of mind while we're away. She's super reliable and we've been lucky to be able to rebook her a few times.”
About: In addition to having my own family dog, I grew up taking care of other family & neighbors’ pets. This included regular walks, feeding, and overnight care. I’ve now been doing Rover for the last 6 years, taking care of dozens of dogs and cats, most of which return for recurring care — from drops ins to daycare and week+ long overnight stays. I work from home full time, so I can spend time with and be available for pets throughout the entire day. I have a very flexible schedule that allows me to stay with pets all day or drop in as needed. I’m a very attentive pet lover - always playing with/petting them. Odds are I’ll pay more attention to them than my job during work hours.

“Yhakerra was a wonderful dog sitter!! So happy with everything. The dogs were very happy when I returned home and our place was clean and tidy as well. She sent photos and videos, communicated daily, and did so many things above and beyond expectations for their care. I will definitely hire her again for future care.”
“Brandon F. was FANTASTIC! He gave regular updates and sent photos of our Lucy to us. It was so great to be able to relax and know that our beloved pet was in good hands with Brandon. Would absolutely book him again!”
“Eric did a terrific job taking care of our senior pup. Our doggo was extremely relaxed and happy when we came back from our trip, so it was obvious that Eric took amazing care of him. Eric was also very thorough about following instructions and asking questions about our dog's routines and preferences. And the house was in great shape as well!”
“Christy went above and beyond in looking after our fur babies and our home! I felt really safe knowing Christy was watching over our senior pups and our 2 new kittens and would highly recommend her!”
“Flower did a great job house sitting and caring for Willie and Molly for 5 days, she sent photos and videos daily. They played and had meals and snuggles and treats. My dogs love her.”
“Was so fortunate to find Hayden at the last second. She was great with our two crazy dogs and treated our home with care. Would be happy to have her stay and care for guys again anytime. (Only sad that she was only available due to being home during winter break from college!)”

About: I have professionally walked dogs for over 17 years. I was a receptionist for an Animal Hospital and have training for animals with special needs or require daily medications. I have many years experience owning and caring for a wide variety of animals, dogs, cats, rabbits, birds, bearded dragons, chickens, just to name a few. I really love helping people with their pets. Sometimes with a little training when necessary or minor healthcare issues. I also have experience with pregnant and nursing dogs. I offer puppy daycare and training. I have helped desperate owners keep their pets when the issues become serious problems. Sometimes just a few lessons about routine and consistency solve everything. I will take care of your baby like he/she is my own. How does pet care for into my daily routine? This is an odd question, anyone with a pet knows what the daily routine would be. Pet care varies from pet to pet but how I would care for anyones pet is how I would expect anyone to care for their own pets. Usually any pet I care for becomes bonded to me.
“Ariana came and stayed with my pup while I was away over the 4th of July weekend. She was great with my pup who is afraid of loud sounds and fireworks. Ariana treated her like she would her own pup. I can't recommend her highly enough.”

I did petsitting for my friends *Westchester and Bronx Pet care fits into my routine mainly during evenings and weekends. I’m more flexible on weekends but we can find time. I can provide services in both Westchester and the Bronx. Please let me know your location so I can confirm availability. Whether I’m caring for pets in my home or yours, I always prioritize their safety and comfort. I never give pets human food, and I make sure to follow any dietary restrictions or allergy information you provide. I take pets out as often as they need and treat them with the same love and attention I give to my own family.
About: I have 20+ years of pet boarding, pet sitting, dog walking and now my whole family shares the love - and some of the responsibilities! I am experienced with dogs, cats, guinea pigs and other small creatures! I view all pets as family members. I live in NY and looking for a house sitting gig during my trip to Arizona during this spring break. My schedule is flexible - I am planning to take our four legged friends on lots of adventures outdoors. I work from home and my schedule is flexible so I spend most time with our furry clients.I can’t wait to go on a walk or play with my furry clients! We are happy to come to your home or board your pets in our home. We don't have a fenced in yard but we frequent the dog park and the park near-by. In my day job I regularly work with NYPD, the court system and other federal and state agencies - therefore I have a high level security clearance.

Pet parents share their Rover experiences - Haverstraw
Kerra stayed at our house for 10 days and nights. She was communicative, clean, and took good care of our quirky dog and cat. We have never left them at home for that long, and it was great to have someone experienced with pet care to ease our anxieties. We highly recommend Kerra!
Maria was one of the best sitters I've ever had! She was knowledgeable about how to care for senior dogs and took exceptional care of my senior dog, who requires a bit more attention. She followed all care instructions carefully and made sure my dog was comfortable, safe, and happy the entire time. On top of that, she kept my home incredibly neat and tidy and respected my home. It gave me real peace of mind knowing both my dog and my home were in such good hands. I highly recommend Maria to anyone looking for a reliable, thoughtful, and truly caring dog sitter.
"We loved Marissa!!" said our cat and dog in unison when we walked in the door. I was taking care of my brother's cat, Truman, while he was in the hospital, and Maggie, our dog, usually goes to Michael's house whenever we go away. So it was a real panic to find someone when my brother was unable to, and we had plane tickets to my best friend's wedding in NC. I spoke with a lot of people and landed on Marissa. She was wonderful! Sent pix to us and kept us in the loop. Marissa spent 3 nights at our place and left not a crumb. I loved that she was so responsible and can't recommend her enough. Five star ***** rating!

Frequently asked questions about Rover
The average cost for House Sitting in Haverstraw on Rover is $55.5 per night (as of September 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 September 2026, there are 17,714 sitters on Rover offering House Sitting across Haverstraw. 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 Haverstraw 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 Haverstraw 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 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!
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.
