About: I've always had cats and I've had a dog for the past 3 years. I volunteer at Paws Crossed with my daughter, where we walk dogs and socialize cats. I have a flexible schedule, but need advance notice in order to coordinate other activities. In home pet sitting in lower Westchester is easier for me. I have a fenced in yard and crates. At a client's home, I enjoy going for walks, and playing inside and outside with the dog.
About: I am a just starting at Pace Law and missing my animals deeply. I have made a summer job the past few years dog sitting. I have a wide variety of experience, from caring for three 60lbs+ lap dogs for a week to three cats I would barely see. I love every animal like it is my own (smothered in love) and I make sure to take lots of pictures (I can’t help it!). I am starting my law school journey and I am looking to schedule in some animal time. I am completely free after 4 most days for walks or dinner time and have open weekends. I have lots of experience with animals of many different needs and can easily adapt to instruction. I will be sure to love your baby and provide care above and beyond.
“Erin did a fantastic job watching our two cats for a week. She was attentive and responsive, asking clarification questions during the meet and greet and provided updates during the week. Both of our cats have specific feeding instructions, which were followed without issue. Erin even came to care for our cats during a crazy rain storm, which was much appreciated! We would definitely book her again!”
“Tara is an amazing cat sitter. We trust her with our Luna every time we are away and we come back home to a very happy kitty. We highly recommend Tara as a cat sitter. Thank you so much, Tara!”
“Brandon F. was FANTASTIC! He gave regular updates and sent photos of our Lucy to us. It was so great to be able to relax and know that our beloved pet was in good hands with Brandon. Would absolutely book him again!”
“Angie was great. She understands cat well. We left our kitten to her place, she took care of her and we didn’t have to worry about her. She was also flexible with the timings which I really appreciate as we were running late from our trip. She shared with us pictures of our cat and we felt relieved.”
About: Hi! I'm Jenn, an animal lover based offering attentive, reliable care for your dogs and cats. As a cat owner myself, I understand the patience, routines, and little details that keep pets happy and comfortable. I've cared for dogs of all sizes: feeding, walking, playtime, and plenty of affection and I'm comfortable administering medications, so pets with special needs are always welcome. Whether your pup needs a midday walk, drop-in visits while you're away, or a cozy overnight stay in my apartment, I'll treat them with love and patience. You'll get timely updates, photos, and real peace of mind while you're away. I'm also fully bilingual in English and Spanish. ¡Hablo español, así que también atiendo con gusto a familias hispanohablantes! Your pet's safety, comfort, and happiness are my top priority. I'd love to meet you and your furry family member! I have a full time job during weekdays. With 3 on site office days and 2 remote days. I'm available weekdays after 5pm and weekends. In my home (boarding): I keep a clean, calm, secure apartment with no other resident pets, so your dog or cat has a quiet space and my full attention. I keep doors and windows secured, never leave a pet unattended in unfamiliar surroundings, and follow the feeding, walking, and medication schedule you provide. Leashes always go on before we step outside. In your home (drop-in visits & walks): I follow your instructions exactly — feeding, fresh water, litter or potty breaks, playtime, and any medications. I respect your home, lock up carefully, and leave everything as I found it. On walks, I keep dogs leashed and stick to safe, familiar routes. For every service: I send photo and video updates so you always know your pet is happy and safe, I stay reachable throughout the booking, and I always do a free meet-and-greet first. If anything ever seems off with your pet's health or behavior, I'll contact you right away and follow your emergency plan.
About: Hi! I’m a caring, reliable, and animal-loving pet sitter with hands-on experience in veterinary and animal care settings. As a pre-vet student, I’ve developed strong skills in animal handling, observation, and compassionate care through clinical and research environments. I worked as a veterinary assistant at Cornell University Specialists, where I gained experience working alongside veterinary professionals and strengthened my understanding of animal health, behavior, and safety. I also have a 11-year-old cockatiel and two cats of my own, so I truly understand the daily care, attention, and trust it takes to look after someone’s pets. I prioritize patience, attentiveness, and routine, making sure every pet feels safe, loved, and comfortable while you’re away. Whether it’s walks, playtime, cuddles, or special care needs, I treat every animal like my own! I am also BLS and ALS CPR certified I am flexible and available throughout the week for dog sitting and house sitting. I am happy to help with daily visits, walks, feeding, and check-ins. I do not offer overnight stays, but I am reliable and willing to help wherever needed during the day. I provide attentive in-home pet care focused on safety, comfort, and routine consistency. I make sure pets are always in a secure environment—checking doors, gates, food access, and removing any hazards. I closely follow owner instructions for feeding, medications, and behavior routines to keep pets stable and stress-free in their home setting. With my basic medical knowledge from animal care experience, I am comfortable recognizing early signs of illness or distress (such as changes in appetite, vomiting, coughing, or lethargy) and responding appropriately by notifying the owner promptly and seeking guidance when needed. My goal is to ensure pets feel safe, cared for, and as close to their normal routine as possible while their owners are away
“Theo did an excellent job taking care of our cats. We booked him to house sit our two cats while we were away for nine days. He followed all of our instructions, and we came home to happy cats. He has a deep understanding of cat psychology, and he spent a ton of time interacting with our cats. We really appreciate him going above and beyond and will be booking him again!”
“Hannah took care of our old man kitty for a week and she did such a wonderful job. She followed our instructions, gave Riley lots of love and care, and took care of our place while we were away. We will be hiring her again and recommend her highly! Thx Hannah !!”
About: I have loved and cared for dogs my whole life. I am starting my journey to become a trainer. I would love the opportunity to care for your amazing best friend(s). Dogs are amazing loving creatures and not one is the same! I have two rescue dogs of my own. One is Miss (Queen) Kona an Australian Cattle dog mix who my family agrees is just about perfect. She is the reason we adopted Buddy, he is a special needs dog with anxiety and a multitude of issues we have been working through. He has a very sweet side to him that always gives us hope and makes us love him more. I would love the opportunity to help you with your dog sitting needs. Contact me and we can talk! I am currently off for the summer since I work in a school. I can spend time caring for and playing with fur babies. I can visit up to 4 times a day or have them stay at my house. I am available full-time from August 15th to August 29th. After the 29th, I will be available weekends only, Friday evening to Sunday evening. I have a fenced-in yard for exercise and fun. I no longer have dogs at home, so your pet will be the center of my attention! When I visit, I will make sure the water bowl is full and clean. I will feed at the proper times and clean up any messes. The rest of the time it will be spend time having fun with your pet.
About: Been caring for dogs for 8 years now. Experienced with most breeds. Neighbors, friends and even family have asked me to care for their fur friends. Currently working from home so I have time in my schedule. I am very attentive and super loving to all animals I watch. It fits perfectly. I care for your fur friends as if they were my own or my own kiddos. I would follow your instructions. I talk with you and make sure what you want, & I’ll do. Need a walk?

“Sandra was very attentive and interested in learning about my kitty. She kept me posted while I was away and asked questions when she needed. She is very pleasant and clearly loves to care for animals.”
About: I have had pets since I was young, taking care of them and others, It was my bread and butter. I now working in an emergency hospital as a surgical assistant. I have a good balance between my work and personal life pet setting fits into my schedule, also having my own transportation and part-time schedules I provide care as needed and instructed, with my best judgment otherwise. Working in VetMed I have a good idea of standard pet care regardless of size, age, or breed
“Andrew was wonderful. He helped me in and also leaving with the two carriers. Very helpful polite and sent me pictures and a video. I would definitely recommend him and use him in the future.”
“Kathryn was wonderful with my kittens while I was away on vacation! She was so friendly, reliable, and easy to communicate with from the very beginning, which immediately made me feel comfortable leaving them in her care. I especially appreciated how much time she spent with them during each visit. She didn’t just come by to feed them and leave—she actually spent time playing with them, giving them attention, and making sure they were taken care of. It made being away from them so much easier knowing they were getting plenty of love and weren't just being left alone. Kathryn sent me lots of adorable pictures, which I looked forward to getting every day! She followed all of the instructions I left and was very attentive to everything the kittens needed. It was clear from the way she interacted with them that she truly loves animals and cares about the pets she watches. I would absolutely have Kathryn watch my kittens again and would recommend her to anyone looking for a caring and trustworthy pet sitter. Knowing that they were with someone who was giving them genuine attention and affection gave me so much peace of mind while I was away. I’m so happy we found her!”
“Excellent Cat Sitter!, I let my cat for 10 days with Wilson, he sent me videos and pictures every day, answered my questions always, I highly recommend him! Thank you very much Wilson !!”

Cat parents share their Rover experiences - Irvington
She was absolutely exceptional! Communication was excellent throughout the weekend, and most importantly, it was clear that she genuinely cared about my cats. That’s something I value tremendously when trusting someone to look after them. She was attentive, thoughtful, and reliable, which gave us great peace of mind while we were away. I would absolutely book with her again and wouldn’t hesitate to recommend her to friends, family, and neighbors. Highly recommend!
Danae was great! A friend and I were both out of the country and live close to each other, so she was checking in on both of our pets. She was really good about coordinating everything and communicating with us while we were away (even when I was terrible at responding lol). She’s super friendly and I felt totally comfortable having her take care of my cats. Would definitely book her again!
Marilyn took great care of our cat, Louie, and we felt very comfortable knowing he was in her care. She visited once a day, spent time playing with him, and always sent photo updates, which we really appreciated. Her communication was excellent throughout, and she was consistently reliable and trustworthy. It was clear she genuinely cared about Louie. We would absolutely book Marilyn again and highly recommend her to other pet parents.

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.

Take the time to ask your sitter questions about their skills and expertise, and make sure the fit feels right for everyone.
