“She is very tentative! Providing updates during visits of my dogs conditions and how they seem as well as goings on like when they had some diarrhea. She is very nice and implements how you want your animals to be taken care of. Is willing to use and learn about things like the e-collars I use for my girls. All around a good sitter!”
“My dogs bonded with Jaycee very quickly. I feel very comfortable leaving them in her care in my home. She is dependable and always sent updates with photos at the end of her visit!”
“Hanna was great. Prompt at getting back to me in communications. Sent pictures. She was wonderful in taking care of our cat while we were away. Will definitely use her again.”
“Gretchen was great with my girls! She was on time for her drop-ins and stayed to play with them the whole time. She did a meeting with me to meet the girls before she came to watch them which was great! She strove to understand what I needed from her and what the girls needed with their behavioral issues! Very professional and kind!”
“Gillian was genuinely so great with the boys. She was also great at communicating with me any concerns that she had. There were some messages that had been made, and she went above and beyond offering to take the items to try to wash them at her house. I would never expect that from somebody but even the offer was such a kind gesture. I’m so glad my pups had someone so caring and attentive to take care of them while I was out of town.”
“Staci did a great job with my elderly cocker spaniel. I felt very secure knowing that she was taking care of her during my vacation out of town. I received several pictures and updates on how she was doing while I was gone. I would definitely book her again to care for Tulla. Thank you, Staci?”
“Jessica was great with my dog and my cat! I received video and photos during her visits. It appears she followed what I had laid out plan wise for them. I know some are a bit over the top like leaving on Pandora but she did as I asked, which I appreciate so very much. This was the first time I had someone that wasn't family watch my animals and I was anxious, but she did a great job. Thank you so much!”
“Cate has been so great with our boy Bruno! I love all the updates she gives us, and the pictures she takes each visit. We are so happy to have someone there for us to check in on our busy days.”
About: I’ve grew up with many animals in the home. I have 3 cats and a dog that I love with my whole heart! I’m very experienced in the animal world ❤️ I work part time so I’m available quite frequently for your pets! I am willing to spend as much time with them as they need I have a big yard and a pool for summertime also a creek for your dog to play in! I can travel to and from anywhere and I have cat toys and trees for cats!
“Kelli did a great job! I would definitely have her sit for my dogs again. She kept me informed at each visit and sent pictures. I never worried for a second! Thank you Kelli! Luka and Zelda say thank you as well! .”
“Laura came on time and spent the full amount of time with Billy, she left detailed notes about how the visit went and took pictures. This is the second time we have used Laura and will continue to in the future when we book with Rover!”
“Bill and Emma we're great! They're very patient and caring, and made sure our dog was well looked after. They clearly love animals, and we're very happy to recommend them!”
About: Hi! I’m Ryan, and I’m dedicated to giving your dog the best part of their day. Whether your pup needs a high-energy power walk to burn off excess steam or a steady, relaxed stroll around the neighborhood, I tailor every walk to fit your dog's age, energy level, and daily routine. I know how important peace of mind is when leaving your pet in someone else’s care. I pride myself on reliability, clear communication, and keeping your dog’s safety as my top priority. Every service comes with detailed updates, GPS route tracking, and plenty of photos so you know exactly how their walk went! I currently work full-time as a bartender and sales distributor for a brewery. I typically work thursday-sunday. With my days off, I spend most of my time being active whether that's working out, walking or hiking. Adding in some dogs to walk would fit in perfectly to my lifestyle and would be something i always look forward to! I have a fenced in yard in which the dogs can run freely. With a potential client's home, a fenced in yard or invisible fence would be ideal to assure the safety of the dogs.
“If I could rate 10/5 stars I would! Our dog is our baby and we have very high standards for his care. Amanda was so good with Riley! He can be a little high energy and she handles it so well. She takes the time to not only let him out and feed him, but she sits with him for a little while and gives some extra love and scratches. She is genuine with care towards animals and it made me very comfortable. I am so pleased and will 100% recommend her and use her regularly.”
About: I've loved dogs ever since I can remember. I have experience caring for every breed of dog imaginable. Never found one I didn't love to the moon and back. I am a firefighter so my schedule can vary but I'll have lots of time to care and love your pup and give them all the scratches they deserve. I treat others' homes just like my own, if not better. I also don't mind grabbing your mail, feeding other pets, or watering plants if needed.
About: I grew up on a farm and have been around all sorts of animals. I have experience with all types of dogs, from Great Danes to Chihuahuas. Neighbors, friends, and family have previously relied on me to house sit and care for their pet(s) while they’re away. I’m currently working part time, so I have lots of free time to care for your pet(s). Even on days I work, I can do potty breaks before and after. I rely on what the client tells/gives me. I like to keep animals in their own home so they can feel comfortable and not anxious with another person and at another home. It’s good to keep one of those neutral.

Frequently asked questions about Rover
The average cost for Pet Sitting in Horseheads on Rover is $16.05 per visit (as of August 2026). However, all sitters set their own rates based on experience, location, and availability.
Rover makes budgeting the cost of Pet 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 Pet Sitting. For more information on service fees, click here .
As of August 2026, there are 332 sitters on Rover offering Pet Sitting across Horseheads. 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 Horseheads 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.
If you would like updates while you’re away, you can discuss with your sitter how many or how frequent you’d like those updates to be. The Rover app allows sitters to send photos, videos, and messages about your pet, including how many pee or poop breaks occurred. You can message your sitter at any time through the app and our support team is available 24/7 by email or chat if you have concerns.
The personalized, in-home nature of pet care through Rover can mean more individual attention for your pet.
Many pet parents provide a spare key or arrange a lockbox. You can also exchange keys during the Meet & Greet and show your walker how to use digital fobs or personalized codes. It helps to arrange access to your home, from spare keys to concierge introductions, before pet care begins.
If you live in an apartment or condo, don’t forget to discuss details like buzzer access, codes, or elevator etiquette. These details can help a pet sitter feel more comfortable going in and out of your building.
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.

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.
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.
