“Thank you so much for taking such good care of our furbabies while we were away! ❤️❤️ Also thank you for going the extra mile cleaning off and stashing our packages in the bathroom when one of our babies decided it would be fun to pee on and scratch up lol!!! 🫠🤦🏼♀️ Much appreciated and always a pleasure!! ☺️🙏🏼”
“I can’t say enough good things, the amazing care she gave to my pups! I always fell completely at ease knowing my dogs are in kind, capable hands. She goes above and beyond—sending updates, photos, and making sure my dogs weren’t only well cared for, but genuinely happy and loved. Coming home to relaxed and content pups says it all. Her attention to detail, reliability, and warmth made all the difference. I’m so grateful for her superb service and will absolutely be reaching out again. Thank you for treating my dogs like family!”
About: I have years of personal experience caring for my own fur babies, as well as experience working in an emergency vet. I am comfortable handling pets who need a little extra TLC due to their health or personality, and nothing makes me happier than giving owners the assurance that their fur family is in good hands💜 I currently have two cats, Dobby and Chai, and I have experience with all ages of pets :) I can care for exotic pets as well (I personally have several invertebrates as well as a blue tongue skink and an African house snake!) I do work full time, so I am not currently able to provide 24/7 services. I currently work overnight (usually Monday and Thursday) but also work Saturday during the day almost every week as well. Please reach out to me with any questions regarding my schedule and how I can best accommodate your babies! I will follow any and all instructions left for me to the letter, as I would want someone to do the same for my pets.
About: With over 30 years of unwavering dedication, I am a seasoned pet care provider passionate about fostering a loving and secure environment for your furry, feathery, and even unconventional companions. From dogs and cats to a diverse array of birds, cows, and yes, even skunks, I've embraced every unique challenge with genuine care and commitment. Safety is my top priority, ensuring your pets thrive under my watchful eye. As a compassionate animal lover, I understand the importance of tailoring care to individual needs. I'm not just a caregiver; I'm a devoted listener, ready to accommodate your pet's preferences and your concerns. Trust me to provide the utmost care, flexibility, and a nurturing environment for your beloved pets. The ability to set my own work schedule provides a tailored approach to caring for pets. With the flexibility to adjust my hours, I can meet their specific needs, including feeding, walks, and playtime. Breaks throughout the day allow for regular check-ins, addressing any emergencies promptly. This personalized care not only reduces stress for pets but also eliminates the need for external pet services. The freedom to be actively involved in their daily lives ensures a comfortable routine, fostering a strong bond and peace of mind for both me and your pets. In caring for pets, I extend my services both within my own home and at clients' residences, ensuring a comprehensive and attentive approach. At my home, I provide a range of services such as bathing, meticulous medication distribution, and regular walks tailored to the specific needs of each pet. I create a comfortable and loving environment, prioritizing their well-being. Additionally, when caring for pets in clients' homes, I extend the same level of dedication. This includes administering medications with precision, offering bathing services for hygiene, and taking dogs for invigorating walks. The goal is to mirror the care and routine they are accustomed to, whether in their familiar home environment or within my own space, ensuring a seamless and positive experience for both the pets and their owners.
“Thank you Anita for not just being super reliable but also patient with moody Jade. I especially like to notes you leave on the Rover cards!. Next trip will be a short one over Memorial Day weekend then a longer one around July 4. Will see if you are available when we get closer to those dates.”
About: I have loved pets since I was very young. I used to take care of my brother's dog and my friends. Whenever I could, I would visit my friends to be with their dogs. I am a teacher, so I have a lot of patience with hyper pets! I am currently a teacher, so I can work Mon-Fri after 4 and on the weekends any time. During the summer and holidays, I am more flexible. I make sure that if the dog or cat needs to go out to potty, I take them out. I also walk the dogs/cats and play with them as I keep them company. I try to make sure they are safe and happy! I am not allergic to any pets.
“Ruth was terrific and extremely organized. Super convenient and prompt in responding through the app. Her check ins were right on time and she took lots of pictures!”
About: I would love the opportunity to meet with you and your fur babies to see if we would be a good fit.I love dogs and cats so much,my life would not be complete without them. I have been in a position that I had to leave my babies at home all day by their self and felt so guilty. So I understand how comforting it is to know,someone can come in and take care of them, and give them the love that they deserve when you cannot. I am very knowledgeable about dogs and their specific needs based on what their particular breed requires. I would provide the best care possible based on their needs and your wants. I have not met a dog that that I didn't love! I love cats too!I have had several dogs over the years that I successfully trained to be well behaved and have been able to correct unwanted behaviors. Many have been rescues.I have helped friends and family anytime they have needed me to over the years. Anything I can do to make your life easier is what I want to do for you.😊 I am retired and would love to take of you best friends at your home. I have to dogs and a cat as well as twin grand babies at my home so I think it's best I sit for you in your home. I can feed, walk and play with your baby or babies. I can bath them and brush them.I will keep them safe at all times.I am good at doing basic training and teaching dogs tricks,(that is most dogs)😊 I will find out about what they like and what they don't like. Their needs depending on their breed, age and health.Depending on your circumstances we will discuss your wishes and I will adhere to them as well as always keep an eye on them, keep them on a leash when outside. Make sure they have everything they need and lots of loving on them if they like to be loved on. I will play with them and make sure to let them outside as often as they need.
About: I'm a true animal person, and my home proves it. Sir Rocco, my 5-year-old Lab, is my shadow, and our three cats, Nala, Nico and Goldie, keep things lively. My favorite part of caring for pets is getting to know their little personalities: the dog who has to sniff every mailbox, or the cat who pretends not to care but always ends up in your lap. A while back I took in a scared, semi-feral kitten. It took time, gentle hands, and a lot of patience before he let me hold him, and now he follows me around the house. That's how I approach every pet. I let them warm up at their own pace, and I never rush a nervous one. I've cared for pets at every stage of life. I love the silly, curious energy of puppies, and I'm happy to reinforce their potty routine and good habits while you're away. Older dogs have a special place in my heart too. I'm happy to slow down for their pace, keep them comfortable, and give them extra love. I'm also experienced giving medications, whether it's a pill tucked into a treat or a set schedule, so you can trust your pet won't miss a dose. When I'm with your pet, they get my full attention. That means real walks, belly rubs, fetch, cuddles, whatever makes them happy. I'll keep their routine just the way you like it and send you photos so you can see them enjoying their day. I want you to come home to a happy, well-loved pet and feel completely at ease while you're gone. My schedule is flexible, which means I can work around what you and your pet needs instead of the other way around. Whether you need regular walks during the week, drop-in visits while you're at work, or someone to stay with your pet while you travel, just send me a message and we'll find times that work. I always give your pet unhurried, focused time, and I'll do my best to help with last-minute requests too. I care for pets in their own home, where they feel most comfortable. I treat your home like it's my own: I follow your house rules, keep things tidy, and always lock up and double-check doors and gates before I leave. On walks, your dog stays leashed and close, and I keep an eye out for other dogs, hot pavement, and anything they shouldn't eat. At our Meet & Greet, I'll get your vet's info and an emergency contact so I'm prepared for anything. Your pet's safety and your peace of mind always come first.
About: I've had dogs all my life and currently I have a beautiful little dog who is my life. I like to take good care of them, give them healthy food and take them for walks. My experience with other dogs is beautiful. I have a job from 2 pm onwards, Monday through Friday. I could take care of and walk your dog every morning and have them sleep on the weekends. I would love to board with you and take them for walks in all the parks and areas. I have a fence in my yard and a beautiful little dog for company and a new family with your pet. I make healthy dog food and snacks and they will have special care.
About: I’ve had dogs and cats my entire life so I am experienced and I know how to love and take care of four-legged family members! and have dog sat and walked before for people in surrounding neighborhoods. I am a stay-at-home mom and a part-time substitute teacher which means I can be flexible for all of your individual pet needs! I will feed, walk, and play with your pets! I am also willing to do extra services like administering medication or whatever your pet may need!
“Amber always goes above and beyond when dropping in to check on our fur babies. She is thorough and concise, while caring and attentive to each pet’s specific needs and habits. Thanks for all you do!”
“Isabella did an amazing job checking on my cats! She made sure they got a lot of love and play time and was always easy to reach with any questions. I would absolutely rebook with her again in the future!”
“Sarah was a very good choice in having them check-in on our dogs. Being a first time user of the app, I was very nervous, but Sarah made sure to keep us up to date as to what was going on every step of the way. Sarah took our dogs out, fed them, cleaned up after them and even reported that one of the dogs broke something. I highly recommend this sitter!!!!!!”
“Stephanie was nothing less that AMAZING with our fur babies!! They loved every second of her company! She took such great care of them while we've been away! She took away the stress of having to leave them. I can't express my gratitude to her enough. She's a godsend! We love her ❤️”
About: Hi! I’m Jay, a dependable, trustworthy animal lover who understands that pets are family. I take pride in being reliable, attentive, and treating every dog as if they were my own.

My goal is simple: earn your trust by providing dependable service and giving your pet the love, attention, and care they deserve. I look forward to meeting you and your furry family member!

Your for baby will be an excellent hands with the help of our dog Jacob. We have a huge backyard which is more than enough room for the babies to play. Not to worry they are never left unattended
About: It was obvious from the time I was a little girl that I had a special connection with animals. I used to visit my grandmother as a child and pretend I was a dog trainer. We always had pets growing up. In 2006 after spending years in retail management I saw a sign on a car advertising pet sitting services. I knew that was my calling and soon started my own business. I have many clients and references. Pets are family and should be treated as such. I offer a home environment and lots of TLC.

Frequently asked questions about Rover
The average cost of Pet Sitting in Inwood is $20 per visit as of November 2026. Most bookings cost between $16 and $28 per visit. 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.
As of November 2026, there are 2,822 sitters on Rover offering Pet Sitting across Inwood. 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 Inwood. On Rover:
- 90% of sitters can help with special care needs
- 93% 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.
