“Dari was amazing with our furbabies! We had Dari house sit for a few days while we were away, and we couldn't have been happier. She took wonderful care of our two cats and puppy, and even our shy kitty warmed up to her almost right away, which says a lot. She sent us sweet photos and updates throughout the stay, so we never had to wonder how everyone was doing. When we got home, all three pets were calm and relaxed, and everything was just as we left it. We'd absolutely book Dari again and recommend her to anyone looking for a caring, reliable sitter. 🫶🏼”
“Shana is extraordinarily wonderful. She took such great care of our almost 14 year old Maltipoo. She was extremely kind and gentle from the very beginning of my contact with her. She always responded to questions and messages, and sent a daily report of how Kelli was doing, which I LOVED!! She also looked after every detail of our house from taking out the trash, to bringing in packages. I absolutely loved her and will use her again without a moment’s hesitation! A real rock star Rover superstar!!!”
“ML (Marcese) did a great job for us! The neighbors said he was seen frequently walking our pup. Our dog was healthy and happy upon our return. ML sent us photos during the stay and was good about staying in touch and asking any needed questions. And I think our home was cleaner when we returned than when we left it! I'd highly recommend ML for any pet needs that you have.”
“Jasmine was amazing! She was very loving and responsible with our dog Maxine. Jasmine sent photos and was always quick to respond to any communication. We will definitely hire her again and wouldn't hesitate to recommend her to our family and friends.”
“We have a 'difficult' little one, reactionary and weaning off behaviour meds while we were away. KJ did a great job managing our pup, worked with her on training, and gave her all the attention we couldnt. We will be booking her again for sure!”
“Allison was fantastic! She was great with my cat and communicated everything with my clearly while I was away. I got a lot of cute photos of my cat, and when I got home I could tell she had gotten a lot of love and attention.”
“Marcie charmed my challenging dog in minutes. I received multiple updates and now they are best friends. Highly recommend! I will have her housesit again.”
“Justelle always go above and beyond. This is the second time we have had travel delays and she is accommodating and responsive when we are trying to figure out how to pivot when a flight delay keeps us from getting home when expected. Our pets are so happy and our home is tidier than when we left it. It is a welcomed sight when traveling with delays.”
About: I am already excited to care for your furry family member! My schedule is highly flexible during the day, making me available for mid-day walks, routine check-ins, and flexible care when your pets need it most. I have years of experience loving, training, and caring for pets of all shapes and sizes—from multi-cat households to high-energy working dogs. Most recently, I owned a 200-pound Mastiff, so I am entirely comfortable, confident, and experienced with extra-large giant breeds and heavy pullers! Every pet has unique needs, and my care revolves entirely around your routine. I am happy to: • Walk specific, familiar neighborhood routes • Provide coat brushing and dental care (teeth brushing) • Administer oral medications or vitamins (per vet instructions) • Engage high-energy breeds with their favorite toys and mental stimulation Ultimately, I want to provide the absolute best care for your family. I am highly adaptable, reliable, and ready to tailor my visits to whatever keeps your pet happy and stress-free! Currently I am working part time and will have lots of time to care for your animals! Especially during the week days where I am free to walk and check in on animals during lunchtime/work hours when you’re at work. I will try my best to take last minute bookings that I can feasible get to, I know it’s so tough to find care for your pet last minute when plans falls through so please don’t hesitate to reach out! I value getting to know your animal and their personality. I want to make them feel like I am a safe space for them to be cared for. With trust from them, I am happy to provide care services you need such as crating after walks, feeding special food, and as mentioned before any instructions from vets they need (I have had experience tending to animals with various health needs). I hope to have an open dialogue with you to communicate your pets needs at the time I’m caring for them.
“Jade was awesome, she stayed the weekend at our place and took care of our senior golden lab while we were away. I was a bit apprehensive since this was our first time leaving him with someone we had just met but Jade put us at ease and did a great job taking care of the Colt and the house, will book again!.”
“Gabrielle took awesome care of our dog while we were away for the weekend. We were sent great status updates & photos so we didn't have to worry about how things were going. We would definitely recommend Gabrielle for future bookings!”
“I would say Anatolii and Svitlana for our super anxious dog was a pure blessing. They were meticulous about Simba's walks and feeding . Our dog is super anxious and takes time to get comfortable with new people . Simba started warming up to them and eventually started getting on bed with them during the period of care. They understand dogs and will cater their care as per the dogs needs. They were sweet to accommodate Whatsapp video calls when we were in India and also sent multiple photos. I would say knowing we can reach out to Anatolii and Svitlana again for Simba is very comforting . I will highly recommend them for any dog parents.”
“Aryana is wonderful and I will 100% be hiring her again for dog sitting! She sent great updates and my dog Ash looked SO happy and comfortable with her in photos. She went above and beyond to give my dog enriching days that included all his favorite things. Aryana was comfortable staying with Ash who has some special needs and sensitivity to being handled. She is clearly very intuitive with dogs and built trust immediately with him. She sent me a picture of him lying on his back on the couch in a state of total bliss. I knew he was in good hands!”
About: I started working with animals in high school, accruing hundreds of volunteer hours at my local animal shelter, where I honed in on my passion for pet care. As I transitioned to university life, I started walking dogs on the weekends, and really enjoy getting to hang out and provide for other people's pets. I have open availability through most of the week, and for late-evening drop ins over the weekends. This allows me a lot of time and flexibility to devote to caring for your pets. Communication is key, and I strive to ensure all preferences are met during my visit/walk with your pet! I will frequently send updates, such as photos from during my visit/walk, and a little blurb about what your pet and I got up!
“Moriah was kind and consciensious in her care of my 3 yr old dog and my geriatric 12 yr old big granddog. I didn't have to worry. She was thoughtful of my home and watered my outside plants.”
About: I have been taking care of dogs and cats for friends and relatives since I was a child. Over the years I have helped friends with their dog walking businesses too. I'm usually available for walks all day Sat-Mon and after 6PM Tues-Fri (if it shows as available on my calendar) including late nights if needed. For taking care of pets in your home, I'm happy to work with any house-rules you have for the pet regarding rooms it is allowed to go in.
About: I grew up with dogs who I was responsible to care for, as well as pet sitting for neighbors and family member's cats and dogs. As an adult I've lived with a roommate and their cat, who I frequently cared for as my roommates traveled out of town frequently. Next I lived with other roommates and their dogs. As I was working from home, I helped a lot with their care. One dog is very nervous and needs a lot of support and reassurance- I am a naturally a very calm person and good at easing and calming animals. The other dog has had some health issues and required medication schedules as well as closely keeping an eye on his behavior and other indicators of health. I've also done a lot of pet sitting and care for my family, including my aunt's senior dog, and my other aunt's large energetic dogs who love to play. I can easily read cat and dog body language and am very attentive to their moods and needs, as well as maintaining a consistent schedule regarding their food, medication, walks, and cleanliness to reduce their stress levels. I am happy to adjust and meet a pet where they are at! I currently work remotely from home, so I can easily adjust my schedule around the needs of your pet. While house-sitting, I am easily able to work from your home to care for your pet during the day, and stay overnight. I will ask for information about your pet's routine as every pet is different. I am extremely comfortable walking dogs on leashes and harnesses, taking them to dog parks if desired, and playing with them in fenced in fields if you pet likes to play fetch. I understand the importance for some pets of a specific feeding and medication schedule will prioritize that for their well being and happiness. I am also comfortable cleaning up after pets, including daily litter box emptying, and light brushing when needed. I have a calm and gentle disposition a lot of pets appreciate but can also be playful when the pet is energetic. I am quite effective at calming down animals and can read cat and dog body language easily. For some pets, a change in their environment like their owner being gone for a trip can be very stressful but the maintenance of routine in addition to comforting company and attention can relieve that anxiety and keep them happy and thriving until you return!

Pet parents share their Rover experiences - Hunts Point
Mackenzie was absolutely amazing with our dog Hank! She was extremely thorough and detail oriented about his care. I received daily pictures, video and text updates while we were away. The whole experience was above and beyond. We will be booking with her again!!
Erin stayed with my two cats for a few days this summer. She was very responsive when I first reached out to inquire about her availability. Once she was here, she was communicative and sent photos and updates of the cats throughout the stay. She left the house sparkling clean and cats were happy! I will be using her in the future! Thank you!!!

Frequently asked questions about Rover
The average cost of House Sitting in Hunts Point is $59 per night as of November 2026. Most bookings cost between $30 and $104 per night. On Rover, sitters set their own rates based on factors such as their experience, the length of care, the number of pets, and your pet’s specific needs. As long as your booking dates and pet profiles are accurate, the price shown before you confirm is the total, including any booking fee.

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 Hunts Point 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 Hunts Point 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 Hunts Point 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 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.

- 94% 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.
