“This was my first time getting a cat sitter and Adam did his thing. Definitely a 10/10 my cats went from saying who this man to heeeey friend and that itself says a lot! Thank you ssooooooo much!”
“Jamie was such a wonderful friend to my sweet dog, Bernice. This was Bernices first time home alone for such a long stretch. And Jamie really went out of her way to comfort her. And she managed to get Bernice outside and playing. Jamie is truly the best!”
“Mary is caring, conscientious, and a joy to work with. She takes wonderful care of my senior dog, Lucky, whenever I'm away, and she's always communicative and responsive, sending updates and answering questions promptly. I'm so relieved to have found her.”
About: Hello, my name is Amanda! I grew up around all different types of animals ranging from dogs and cats to birds as my whole family are huge animal lovers! I even helped at a doggy daycare that my family owned some time ago.I originally started dog sitting for my family and friends and decided to branch out to help other animal lovers which brought me here on Rover! I currently 2 dogs.My dog Sadie as well as my dog other dog Libby,who are my world! I recently lost my other dog Gunner,who had doggie dementia so I have experience caring for older dogs that have special needs. When they're here ,your dogs will be treated just as how I treat my own , with lots of love and care. I have a 6 foot fenced-in yard as well as a doggie door so your dogs can go outside .I also walk my dogs everyday and would love to bring yours along if allowed .

My dad is with me for part of the year from winter to early spring . I have some experience in handling special requirements/and or medications as one of my own dogs had special needs and requires daily medication for her skin allergies . I also offer house sitting, drop ins and am able to do whatever is required to make sure everyone is taken care of and happy!
About: Growing up without a dog of my own due to my father’s allergies, I’ve always poured extra love and attention into every dog I get the chance to watch. Whether it’s neighbors, friends, or family, I treat every pup like they’re mine. I’m a retired Division I athlete, so keeping up with energetic dogs long walks, runs, fetch sessions, or active play is something I genuinely enjoy. I also work professionally in the pet industry for the company behind Chuckit! balls and launchers, so my everyday life revolves around pets and understanding what keeps them happy, safe, and engaged. My goal is to make each dog’s time with me as enjoyable for them as it is for me, with plenty of activity, affection, and attentive care. You can count on me for consistent, reliable care and a genuinely fun experience for your dog. I work fully remote 5 days a week the only resource needed is wifi and an outlet to charge my laptop. My daily schedule varies and is flexible to allow playtime, potty breaks, feeding, and water refills throughout the day as needed. I emphasize routine as much as possible when dog sitting because a consistent schedule helps reduce anxiety, especially when owners are away. I follow each dog’s daily feeding, walking, and play routines closely to keep them comfortable and secure. I provide active and supervised care so every dog feels relaxed, supported, and at home while their person(you) is away.
About: I have always been the person a friend or family member reached out to for pet care for as long as I could remember. Dogs and cats have been a major part of my life since I was born, always having them in the house and growing up alongside them. Now at 26, I am a cat mom to two boys and an auntie to many pups and kitties! I love caring for animals because they give us so much love and affection; they are not just pets, but family. It sounds cliché but it’s so true - they are living heartbeats that deserve the best quality of life, just like humans. I work a regular 9-5, Monday through Friday at a local live entertainment organization. On occasion, I will have to work events. I also help part-time at a local pizza business. I am fantastic with communication and am an avid planner. Because I have two cats, I do not board at my apartment. I live in a one bedroom and am committed to giving them the best quality of life and limiting stressors. When I go away, I leave a detailed list of what my boys need, their routine, and all necessary contacts in case of an emergency. For any pets I watch, I will ask the same. I like to know every detail possible in order to keep routines on track and be prepared for any scenario.
About: I work from home, so I am always available for the pets! I love all ages, puppies to older dogs. I had a dog growing up, she just recently passed, so I have experience with all ages. I work from home, so I am available to be with the pets all day long. I love to go on walks so I would love to bring them along with me! I have a dog crate available, and I live in a very safe neighborhood, I will make sure to never leave the pets alone too!
About: I’ve worked at multiple animal shelters (including one right now!), animal hospitals/clinics, farms, stables and wildlife sanctuaries! I’m a certified wildlife rehabber and pre- veterinary student so animal care is truly my passion! I am current student at Syracuse! As such I can work around my classes. I’m completely available from Friday-Sundays! Mon-Thurs in the early mornings and evenings! I have worked in the animal/vet field for 4 years so dog walking is nothing new! Whether you have a nervous chihuahua or leash reactive mastiff I promise I’ve seen it all! I use strictly positive reinforcement to build trust and confidence on a walk. Visits will usually include socialization and structured play to make sure your pets aren’t bored but rather fully engaged and comfortable while you’re away!
“Meaghan was an amazing dog sitter for my high maintenance, sweet, loving beagle! She followed all my instructions and went above and beyond in taking care of my pup! She sent me updates and photos which made me reassured all was good while I was away! I will definitely be booking her again. I would highly recommend her to anyone needing a sitter!”
About: Growing up in a home filled with dogs, my love for animals started early. I currently have 3 Great Danes and a Frenchie, so I understand the needs of all types of breeds! Beyond my own pets I also love helping out with walks, check-ins, and general care for my neighbors pets whenever needed! I pride myself on being reliable and responsible, and I am committed to keeping your pets happy and safe! I am a college student who is currently home for the summer. I have plenty of flexibility to accommodate your schedule whether it’s early morning walks, midday check-ins, or evening playtime! Your pets safety and well-being are always my top priorities. I have grown up with pets my whole life, so I understand the importance of consistent care, attention, and a safe environment. I will ensure their surroundings are clean, secure, and welcoming as well as being attentive to their routines, needs, and any changes in behavior. I will also maintain an open line of communication with you to ensure peace of mind while you are away. My own pets are treated like family and I extend that same level of care to any pet I look after.
“Amanda is awesome! Super cool, looked after our pets with love & care. On top of communication, took our mail inside, & sent lots of pix! Reliable & trustworthy. A+ professional pet sitter! :)”
About: Animals have always been a huge part of my life. I grew up surrounded by 5 English Mastiffs, a pitbull, and 5 cats, so I’ve cared for pets of all sizes and personalities. Most recently, I had the privilege of caring for my dog Rex during his final months, which gave me experience with health issues, medications, and supporting pets with disabilities. Over the years, I’ve also watched many different dogs, and nothing makes me happier than when they come back for another stay! It feels like welcoming back old friends. Being around animals truly brings out the best in me, and I treat every pet as if they’re part of my own family. Whether your pet is playful and energetic, shy and gentle, or needs a little extra care, I’ll provide the love and attention they deserve. Feel free to contact me with any questions at any time! I’m available every day for walks and house sitting! I’m currently in PA school and have just one in person class from 8:30-11 Monday-Thursday. If I have to leave them for any amount of time I will be fully transparent and I will make sure it’s within the time frame you prefer! If needed I can take a pet for a day. I’m currently in graduate school at Upstate Medical and just have a class from 8:30-11. But your pet will always be treated like a family member! They will be safe, loved, and well fed. I love playing outside with dogs because it’s the best part of their day!

“Anastasia took good care of my goldendoodle when I went out of town for a day. She stopped by twice, fed her, let her out to play, and took cute photos. I'd ask her again, for sure!”
“Autumn came in clutch for my baby. She got her to warm up to her quickly. She also did her hair for me and made sure she was taken care of while I was gone. The daily pictures and updates kept me going and less stressed while I was away.. I am so grateful for her and I will be booking her again.”
About: I have cared for my own dog for the past 13 years and sadly he died in February 2025. I walked him around my neighborhood consistently for all those years and now having that routine gone is difficult. Before having him as my own, I also helped take care of my families dog for several years. I am experienced in caring for dogs of all ages and demeanors and all sizes too :) I am attending SUNY Cortland right now and that is the only large barrier in my weekly schedule. I can care and/or walk dogs after 7pm on Monday and Wednesdays. I am available after 4pm on Tuesday and Thursday. Friday and Saturday I can provide care all day with a days notice. Without notice I will most likely be working on Friday and therefore not available until after 4pm that day. I can house-sit on Fridays and Saturdays and into Sunday afternoon as well! I will maintain a safe and calm environment for your pet while caring for them and allow them to initiate any desired games or actions. I am willing to accommodate however you prefer for your dog when caring for them, just let me know of anything necessary :) Any questions or concerns for your dog's care are welcomed and appreciated as I prefer a heads up in advance of anything unusual or to keep an eye out/for. Thanks :)

Frequently asked questions about Rover
As of November 2026, there are 579 sitters on Rover offering Pet Sitting across Howlett Hill. Enter your ZIP code to see which available sitters are closest to your home.
You and your sitter can agree on a care schedule that fits your pet’s routine and the sitter’s availability. Pet Sitting can be booked as a one-time or recurring drop-in visit. If you need overnight care or dog walks, you may also be able to book House Sitting or Dog Walking through Rover with the same sitter, provided they offer those services.
Before booking, confirm:
- the timing, length, and frequency of visits;
- the care instructions the sitter should follow;
- which parts of your pet’s usual routine should be prioritized;
- how often you would like to receive messages, photos, or other updates.
Not every sitter offers the same services, availability, or booking options. Review their profile and discuss the care you need through Rover before booking each service.
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.
Yes, you can find sitters who have experience with handling special pet needs in Howlett Hill. On Rover:
- 89% of sitters can help with special care needs
- 94% can help with giving oral medications or injections
- 96% 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.
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.
