“We simply could not have asked for better and we are so thrilled and relieved that we have found such great care for our 2 cats and one dog. We have a stretch booked with Paula for September and it gives us such peace of mind to know they will be so well cared for. Thank you Paula!”


“Five Stars for Jen M.! After a long awaited family vacation, Jen M. made a loving trip possible with total peace of mind in terms of her pet care, loving-kindness, daily drop ins, walks, and feedings ~ and conscious attention to my beautiful pit bull's physical and emotional needs while we were away. She is a beautiful person who is aware of the deep needs of each family pet, feeding schedules, attention to detail, and suggestions for better relationship improvement for all involved. Jen came each day and took excellent care of my pet, my home, and everyone involved in my household. She noticed things and worked to improve my dog's every day life and experience while I was away, and made suggestions for a better quality of life for him and for us as an expert in her field. Jen M.'s skills will fit perfectly for people who work full time, travel occasionally, need in home pet care, or home-sitting with animals. She is a loving steward of her work ~ and it shows in her caring approach to each moment with your pet. She is compassionate, responsible, trustworthy, and full of awareness that will bond your pet to her and make your pet feel safe and secure until your return. Jen M. has my highest recommendation for pet sitting and pet awareness. She has a great deal of experience to share with each dog or cat (and their pet parents), and she brings her lifelong skills with rescues and other more challenging situations to each pet sitting set of circumstances. Jen M. is also a wonderful human being your pet and your family will grow to love. Thank you Jen for a wonderful experience for my dog Hygge and for us all while we were on vacation. I am grateful for your professionalism and your presence in our lives.”

“Kimberly took fantastic care of my cats! I have one shy cat that I thought would hide while she visited, but my kitty was out during each visit, and even played with her! I couldn't be happier, and have already re-booked her for another time while I'll be traveling. She's incredibly nice, and my cats were definitely well cared for!”

“Grettel was reliable and communicative! And most importantly, my dog, who can be a little nervous around new people, took to Grettel right away and was super comfortable. Would highly recommend Grettel for caring for your animals.”

“Ebony is a lifesaver!!! Took care of our four pets for 3 days super super last minute — she is super communicative, sends pictures often, and took our dogs on a walk daily. I have a kitten and she took special care of him. Took extra time to make sure each pet felt comfy with her. She’s our go-to sitter now!”


“Timothy was a great sitter for our elderly cat. He was patient, kind and easily administered medication for our fur guy. We absolutely will hire Timothy again when we’re out of town and know our cat Stoopy would be in good hands.”

“Lexi was fabulous, Walter and Bageera were both very well taken care of and we were kept up to date the whole time. We missed our kids (pets) very much while we were gone but very confident that we left them in good hands with Lexi. NO WORRIES 😉 👍🏼”

About: I grew up around animals, from birds and hermit crabs to cats and dogs, my household has always been filled with pets. I have also fostered medically fragile dogs and volunteered at the Westchester Humane Society. I am passionate about ensuring all animals receive the best possible care and I will give your pet the same love I give my own. I currently work part time and I’m a full time grad student, but I have my own transportation so my schedule is open and flexible. I will schedule a meet and greet with you and your pet to learn all about their unique quirks, likes, dislikes, and routines prior to beginning services with them. I ensure a safe environment by using non-retractable leashes on walks and will send you updates while I am with your pet. Your pet's safety is my top priority.
“Paige was great! She was super communicative and accommodating, and very dependable, even in a winter storm. We knew our kitties and aquariums were well taken care of. We’ll be looking to rebook with Paige for sure! Thank you, Paige! 🧡”

“I'm so grateful to have had Hila looking after my cats while I was out-of-town. I knew my babies were in good hands as Hila always asked great questions and was proactive when it came to monitoring their food intake and providing feedback.”


About: I’ve grown up with animals my whole life and have taken part in caring for them! I also have pet sat my friend’s animals on many occasions with no complaints. I absolutely love animals and take a lot of pride in my passion for proper care and pet relationships! I am currently a part-time student at SUNY New Paltz, so I’m available most of the day! Contact me for specific times and dates :) I absolutely love to play with and take care of any animal! I am incredibly passionate about creating close and safe relationships with cats and dogs.
“Alisa was such a good pet sitter! Trustworthy, kind and absolutely perfect for the job. I couldn’t be happier to find someone not only last minute but also great communication and passion for animals! Thank you Alisa!!”

About: My name is Sarah and I live in Kerhonkson, NY. I have been a dog owner for over 30 years, a majority of that time has been in a multi-dog home. I have always 'clicked' well with dogs, I attribute that to having grown up with them. I have experience working with dogs of all ages, sizes, and PERSONALITIES - from more timid, quiet dogs to impossible-to-contain. I am an active individual, so I am able to run more rambunctious dogs to burn off excess energy and just as happy taking a leisurely walk around the park. Most of all, I truly love dogs and caring for them brings me the most joy. I can't wait to meet your dog and I promise to treat him like he were my own. I currently work from home so I have plenty of time to take care of your pet. I’m available 7 days a week, most weeks! We have lots of land and space for your pet to enjoy themselves. Whether they enjoy spending time outside, swimming, or laying on the couch.

About: I currently own an amazing certified Good Boy Austalian Cattle Dog and two snuggly cats. I have have always owned at least one pet, both cats and dogs since I was little. I have done a decent amount of pet sitting for neighbors and friends. I have even had to give oral meds to one dog I dog sat. If you have any questions, please ask! Dogs will always get at least a 15 minutes walk because my dog usually needs a longer one. I sometimes give my cats and dog breakfast and then usually give the dog a quick 15 walk in the morning before leaving for work at 7:30 am. I get back home around 3:00 pm and usually give my dog his actual long walk between 40 and 70 minutes depending on weather. I feed the animals and then have dinner and usually just relax and snuggle on the couch with at least one of the fur kids. I fit in other cleaning and what not in there but I always make it a point to walk my doggo and make sure they get snuggles since I am gone for a good portion of the day. I have room for a crate for a crate trained dog. I have a moderately sized backyard that is well fenced in. My dog is a counter surfer so we have baby gates for both the kitchen and the extra bedroom. The extra bedroom serves as the cat room so the cats have a dedicated space. Stuff can be adjusted if you have a cat not used to dogs, so they can have that entire room or vice versa our cats can go in there for a dog that is not cat friendly. We only live five minutes from Marbletown Animal Hospital of any emergencies arise needing urgent care if your vet is not available.
“Abbey was a dream to work with!! Would ten out of ten recommend her and absolutely work with her again :). Our cat Cyrus loved her immediately and she left us detailed updates and photos. She’s super nice, loved Cyrus so much, very prompt and awesome. Thanks again Abbey!!”


About: Hi! I’m a stay at home mom who absolutely loves animals and being home makes me the perfect person to give your pup lots of attention throughout the day 🤍 I’ve been caring for pets for over 10 years and grew up with my Yorkie, Asia, who lived to 13. Being a dog mom taught me how important it is to know your fur baby is in safe, loving hands. I’m patient, attentive, and experienced with both puppies and senior dogs, including giving oral medication if needed. Whether it’s walks, playtime, or cuddles, I make sure every pup feels comfortable and cared for. My home is cozy with a backyard for safe play, and I have a sweet cat named Woody. I treat every pet like family and always try to stick to their routine so they feel right at home. I’d love to set up a meet & greet beforehand so you can feel confident your pup is happy, safe, and loved 💓 I’m a full time stay at home mom to two precious little girls! and with that your pup will always have company! I balance caring for my little one with walks, playtime, and snuggles for your dog, making sure every pet gets attention and love throughout the day. My kids also have a love for animals as well and are taught how to interact with different animals! My home is cozy and safe, with a dedicated area for your pup to relax and feel at home where I'll have anything your pup needs (You're welcome to provide anything that makes them comfortable as well). I also have a backyard where they can run, play, and get their zoomies out safely. Your fur baby will have a space that’s loving, fun, and stress-free.
“Kacey is great - my cat typically hides under the couch when anyone other than me is in the house, but he seems really happy when Kacey stops over. Appreciate the help very much Kacey! Thanks!”

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 887 sitters on Rover offering Pet Sitting across Kerhonkson. 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 Kerhonkson 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.
Yes, you can find sitters who have experience with handling special pet needs in Kerhonkson. On Rover:
- 94% of sitters can help with special care needs
- 95% can help with giving oral medications or injections
- 100% 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 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.
