“I cannot say enough about how wonderful Elizabeth is. She saved us with a last minute booking and stayed with our 4 year old lab mix Theo for over a week. She was respectful of our wishes (always checked about treats to give him, kept the house clean) and gave Theo so much love and care. She also understood his issues with excessive heat and kept him hydrated and safe. Theo adored her. And most important was cared for like family. Elizabeth rocks!”

“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.”
“Kristine was truly great. She dog/house sat for over a week and kept us informed of our pup’s doings everyday (with pictures). Our home was just as we left it. We couldn’t have asked for more and will be hiring Kristine again for our next trip.”
About: Looking to help people with their doggy pet care needs! I had my dog Buddy for 15 years since he passed a couple of years ago, he was my everything, so know how important it is to have someone care for your pet like they are part of your family ❤️Went thru all the stages of life with him from training to his elder days of taking care with doggy dimentia and incontinence issues.I’ve also been around and helped my family and friends with their dogs and cats and put my love into doing that ❤️I’m great with walking , feeding, and just overall play with animals and enjoy it as much as they do, I really take pride and care in each pet I’m watching and treat them as if they were my family. I work a part time job in an acupuncture office doing front desk so have a lot of free time to help out and walk dogs or take care of them during the day for people. I also have my own condo so can also have pets stay and take care of or I can go to houses to pet sit that are not to far away. I don’t have any other pets at the moment and live alone so a safe and good environment, I live in a complex that is pet friendly and a lot of areas outside to walk and play .
“Andrea was great with our anxious French bulldog. She went above and beyond watering the gardens and caring for the animals. She was communicative and sent pics of our pup. We will absolutely hire her again to house and pet sit! Highly recommend.”
“Nicole provided exceptional care for our dog during our week out of town. She was our first Rover hire, and we have no complaints, just appreciation! Our dog Lucy has a lot of anxiety about new experiences and people, but she loved Nicole! We definitely will book Nicole again in the future.”
“We recently had David dog sit for us, and he did a fantastic job! He came over the night before to meet our dogs and get familiar with their routine, which we really appreciated. It gave us peace of mind knowing he was thoughtful and prepared. While we were away, our flight ended up being delayed by almost five hours, and David stayed longer without hesitation to make sure our dogs were well taken care of. That kind of reliability and flexibility is rare and so appreciated. When we got home, it was clear the dogs were happy, calm, and well looked after. We’re very grateful for David’s care and would absolutely recommend him to anyone looking for a responsible and kind dog sitter!”
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've always loved animals and have had cats since I was 8 years old. I currently have four cats, so I understand how important it is to have someone you trust caring for your pets. Over the years, I've cared for pets for friends, family, and coworkers, including dogs and cats. I've welcomed dogs and cats into my home for overnight stays, provided drop-in visits to feed and care for cats, and taken care of pets while their owners were away. I know every pet has their own personality and routine, and I'll always treat your furry family members with the same love, patience, and attention I'd want for my own pets. I also love sending photo updates so you can have peace of mind while you're away. I have a flexible schedule and do my best to accommodate each pet owner's needs. I offer drop-in visits, dog walking, and house sitting, and I'm happy to follow your pet's routine to keep them comfortable while you're away. Communication is important to me, and I'll always keep you updated throughout your pet's care. Your pet's safety, comfort, and routine are my top priorities. I'll follow all of your instructions carefully, including feeding schedules, walks, medications (if needed), playtime, and any special care your pet requires. I understand every pet has a unique personality, so I take the time to earn their trust and make them feel comfortable. I'll also send regular photo updates so you can have peace of mind knowing your pet is in good hands.
“Samantha was absolutely fantastic!!! Could not recommend her more highly. She kept us fully up to date throughout our time away, asked appropriate questions to verify when there was a discrepancy (my fault) between the instructions and what was there. Samantha took care of our Maggie like she was her own! Please consider Sam for your next extended time away!”
“Yosef took great care of our 3 cats (including one who needs twice daily medication) and our house while we were out of town. He communicates frequently and sends great photos and videos, and the cats love him.”
“We were in town for graduation and were so lucky to find Keily! I was anxious about leaving our 7 month old puppy with a stranger so was very relieved when Keily was excellent in every aspect. She truly exceeded my expectations. Keily is very professional and communicative. She really cared about my puppy and clearly loves animals. I very much appreciated the text updates with pictures throughout the day. Graduation day was so enjoyable thanks to this experience on Rover. Thank you again, Keily, puppy Sam had a blast!”
About: I’ve always been around animals. I grew up with a cat and two dogs(shelties)! Have had a few on my own and fostered! They are so special to me! They are the soul of our home. I love taking care of other pups and giving all my love and care! I have taken care of a range of dogs and cats. I worked for a pet sitting company while I lived in Idaho. I’ve worked with big dogs, old dogs, puppies, dogs with physical disabilities, health issues and anxiety pups! I’m currently working from home with a very flexible schedule! I can’t stop by whenever and I am very active! If they need a walk or run that is no problem! I will give them so much love and cuddles! Walks if needed as well! I am very active and love playing fetch with doggies! I have expierence with old And young doggies. If they need medicine administered that is no problem!
About: Dogs have been my whole heart for as long as I can remember. I started walking and babysitting pups when I was 13, and I’ve never stopped. Over the years I’ve grown up with and cared for Labs, an English Bulldog, a Jack Russell, a Cocker Spaniel, a Pit Bull mix, a Cattle Dog, a Great Dane, and a French Bulldog, so big, small, sleepy, or full of zoomies, I adore them all. My newest family member is a sweet Cavalier King Charles who loves making new dog friends, so your pup will have a gentle buddy to play with (or snuggle with, if that’s more their style). What your dog can expect with me: A cozy home in West Nyack with a fenced-in yard and a separate downstairs space to relax A crate already set up if your dog feels safest with one Lots of attention. I work from home part-time, so I’m around and my schedule is flexible with a little notice Comfortable, careful medication care, including injections Plenty of photos and videos so you never have to wonder how they’re doing When your dog stays with me, they’re treated like family. I want you to be able to relax and enjoy your time away, knowing your best friend is safe, happy, and loved. Feel free to reach out with any questions. I’d love to meet your pup! 💛 It’s pretty much my hobby! I’ve been fostering this year, I watch, all of my friends animals and more. Always go out every few hours. Never left alone long. I treat all dogs like they’re my own, take them out every few hours or for walks, more if necessary, they have full access to the bed, couch, can use a crate if they like that more. Happy to adhere to any guidelines.
“Brendan was wonderful with Popeye, who has severe anxiety and barked nonstop when he first met him. Brendan was patient and before long, had Popeye napping with him and playing with his tennis ball. Brendan was super responsive, attentive to my concerns, and took excellent care of my dog and my home. I would definitely book with him again.”
About: Hi! My name is Jenn and I rescued Jasper 3 years ago. We love taking walks at the Kensico Dam, going to the beach and the dog park. I am a reliable dog walker and animal lover with experience caring for happy pups. I treat every dog like my own family. You get safe walks, fun playtime, and great photo updates every single time. I am currently working from home with a flexible schedule, so I have plenty of time to care for your pet! I am available daily for walks and sitting on the weekends. Your pet will get maximum engagement and company during the all services as if they were my own. Caring for pets requires following their specific routines and keeping them safe during walks or daytime sitting.

Pet parents share their Rover experiences - Haverstraw
We had a great experience with Kerra as our pet sitter. She stayed at our house for nine days (over Christmas week). Our diaper-wearing, 14 year old basset hound can certainly be a bit of a handful, but Kerra didn't flinch one bit. She gave him and our two cats all the attention and care they could ask for. And the fact that she has experience working at an animal clinic added an extra layer of comfort for us. She was very communicative, sending us daily photos of the pets and didn't hesitate to reach out if she had any questions. When we returned home, the pets were happy and healthy, and the house was nice and clean. Kerra is a kind, patient, all around awesome human being, and we would highly recommend her to anyone lucky enough to have her.
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!
Bowie has been transformed by the time he spent with Sarah. Before I left, Bowie couldn't hang out on the couch without constant vigilance, lest he begin eating it! After a few short days, I'm finally able to relax on the couch with him for a few minutes at a time, without worrying about further destruction! It's a big deal... And my normally non-stop herding puppy is enjoying rest time after all the exercise and mental stimulation Sarah encouraged. I hope to have Sarah back the next time Bowie needs a sitter!

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.
<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 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 , 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 .
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 .
sitters on Rover set their own , 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.

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.
