“Misty was so great to our animals, our dog was barking at the first visit(we could hear her through our ring camera) but Misty took her time and made Clove feel safe. She came over to meet our dog and cat before we even left and she was so pleasant and nice to chat with. You can tell she has a heart for the animals that she works with and I would recommend her to anyone that asks! Great Job Misty!!!💯”

“Amy and Patrick were absolutely wonderful! They took care of Wray and Rudy so well and were very consistent with sending updates and pictures. I will definitely be using them again.”

About: As a certified veterinary assistant, I have a strong background in animal care and a genuine passion for making pets feel comfortable in their own environment. I offer drop-in visits and house sitting to ensure your pets get the attention, exercise, and affection they deserve while you’re out of town or at work. Whether your pets need a quick walk, a play session, or just some companionship, I am here to provide a trustworthy, compassionate experience. My goal is to make sure your pets are as comfortable and happy as possible in their own home, and I’ll always follow your instructions to keep their routines as normal as possible. I know how important it is to have someone reliable care for your pets, and I am dedicated to giving them the attention and love they need while you’re away. Pet care is something I incorporate into my daily routine because I truly love spending time with animals. I currently manage my schedule around my pet sitting commitments and ensure that I have dedicated time each day to provide care. I understand how important consistency is for pets, so I make sure to keep a flexible schedule that accommodates their needs. For example, if I have scheduled visits, I plan my day so I can arrive on time, ensure the pets get the exercise, feeding, and attention they need, and then follow up with updates for the owners. Whether I’m caring for pets in the morning, during the day, or evening, I’m organized and reliable, and I ensure each pet’s routine is followed. When taking care of pets, I ensure to follow owners instructions closely, provide regular updates to clients, ensure the pet’s safety and well-being at all times, maintain a clean environment, and engage in activities that cater to the pets need’s and preferences.

About: While I never had pets growing up, I was lucky to be able to pet sit for friends and family growing up. I am most comfortable with cats but I am also comfortable with caring for dogs! I currently work full time but have most evenings and weekends free! I have two cats at home who get plenty of undivided attention and enrichment activities - I'd love to give the same to your pets! I live in an apartment with a second floor patio so I feel comfortable supervising my own pets for outdoor activities. I believe in pets setting the tone for the visit so I'm in tune with animals telling me what they're comfortable with and acting accordingly to their wishes.
About: What sets me apart is my professional animal-handling experience and my ability to work confidently with pets of all sizes, personalities, and needs. I spent two years working as an equine veterinary assistant, where I gained hands-on experience monitoring animal health, safely handling and restraining animals, recognizing signs of illness or discomfort, and working in fast-paced situations. I also have extensive experience caring for and training my own dogs, including large breeds. I understand that every pet is unique, and I tailor my approach to fit their individual personality and comfort level. Whether your pet is a playful puppy learning good habits, a senior pet needing extra patience and care, or a dog that is nervous around new people, I focus on creating a safe, positive, and stress-free experience. I am comfortable with administering medications, reinforcing basic training and good manners during walks and visits, and providing detailed updates so owners can feel confident their pets are in good hands. I have a lot of time on the weekends to walk dogs but I also have some time in the mornings for a dog or two monday-thursday In your home, I follow your pet’s normal routine to help them feel comfortable and safe. I keep up with feeding schedules, walks, potty breaks, medication instructions, and lots of love. I always pay attention to their body language and make sure they’re happy, relaxed, and well-cared for while you’re away.
About: Hi! I’m Maggie, a lifelong animal lover and dog mom to two sweet pups. I’ve been caring for pets for over 15 years, starting back in high school when I became the neighborhood go-to sitter. Since then, I’ve looked after dogs of all sizes and personalities, plus a handful of cats and other small pets along the way. I treat my own dogs the way most people treat their kids; with patience, structure, fun, and tons of love. And I bring that exact same energy to every pet I care for. Your pet’s comfort and routine come first, and I always take time to learn what makes them feel safe, happy, and understood. As someone who often looks for sitters for my own dogs, I truly understand how important it is to find the right person; someone you trust, someone who communicates, and someone who treats your pets like family. My boyfriend and I take that responsibility seriously. While I’m the one offering pet-sitting services, he’s at home with our own doggos, making sure they’re happy, safe, and sticking to their routine. Because we know firsthand what good care looks like, we make it a priority to provide that same level of comfort, attention, and reliability to every pet we look after. Your pets deserve someone who “gets it,” and that’s exactly the kind of care we strive to provide. I currently work as a case manager, which means my weekly schedule is flexible and varies day-to-day. I have appointments at different times throughout the week, but I’m able to come and go as needed. With a little notice, I can schedule my work appointments around your availability and your pet’s routine. I’m used to balancing a dynamic schedule, so making sure your pet gets the consistent care, walks, and attention they need is always a priority. As a dog mom to two high-energy, love-filled pups, I know how important structure, attention, and affection are. At home, our days include frequent walks, plenty of yard time to burn off energy, and a consistent meal and treat routine. We use clear, consistent verbiage for commands and always reward good behavior; lots of praise, treats, and even more snuggles. I love keeping dogs mentally and physically stimulated, so car rides, errands, and controlled socialization are a regular part of our routine. I bring that same approach to caring for pets in a client’s home. I follow your instructions closely, keep your pet’s routine intact, and make sure they feel safe, understood, and loved while you’re away. Whether they need exercise, structure, gentle reassurance, or just someone to hang out with, I meet each pet where they are and give them the same level of care I give my own.
About: Hi! I’m a reliable, caring, and attentive dog lover who understands that pets are family. I love spending time with dogs of all sizes, personalities, and energy levels, whether that means long walks, playtime, sticking to a routine, or just giving them extra cuddles and attention while you’re away. I pride myself on being dependable, patient, and communicative, and I’ll always make sure your pup feels safe, comfortable, and loved in my care. I know how important peace of mind is when leaving your pet with someone new, so I’m happy to provide regular updates and photos throughout their stay or visit. My goal is to make your dog feel as happy and stress-free as possible while giving you confidence that they’re being treated like family every step of the way! I work M-F 8am to 4:30pm. I can provide midday bathroom breaks since I live so close to where I work. I also work from home on Wednesdays. I will treat your pet as if they are my own. My yard is not fenced in but I have plenty of safe places to walk your dog.
About: I dogsit for family and friends quite often, and love animals altogether! For clients I do walks in neighborhoods or parks, outside time, letting out, feeding, and play time! My family had our own Bassett Hound for 10 years! I do shelter skip day every once in a while to spend time with dogs for the day! Im currently in college, with classes Monday through Thursday, and off Friday, Saturday, and Sunday. My class schedule varies day to day, but my late afternoon to evening is free, and most of my classes are in the morning! I will always make an effort to work things out! I socialize on the weekends, but will always be able to put time aside! I can walk dogs in neighborhoods or parks, I also can play and chill with your baby and take them out to play and go potty. I will also follow your feeding schedule! My care is flexible depending on what you need!
About: I’ve had dogs my entire life and caring for animals has always come naturally to me. I’m patient, attentive, and highly aware of each dog’s individual personality and needs. Whether your dog is energetic and playful or older and more relaxed, I make sure they feel safe, comfortable, and cared for while you’re away. I understand how important it is to trust someone with your pet, and I treat every dog with the same level of care, empathy, and attention I would want for my own. I’m dependable, communicative, and committed to creating a calm, positive experience for both pets and owners. I work from home, which gives me a very flexible schedule and allows me to provide consistent attention, supervision, and care throughout the day. Pet care fits naturally into my daily routine, and I genuinely enjoy spending time with animals, whether that means walks, playtime, relaxing companionship, or simply making sure they feel comfortable and secure. Because of my flexibility, I’m able to accommodate different routines and energy levels while being attentive to each dog’s specific needs. I prioritize creating a safe, calm, and comfortable environment for every pet in my care. I pay close attention to each dog’s routine, personality, energy level, and any specific instructions provided by the owner to help them feel secure and cared for. Whether I’m caring for pets in my home or a client’s home, I make sure they have plenty of attention, regular potty breaks, exercise, fresh water, and a clean environment. I’m attentive during walks, careful with doors, gates, and surroundings, and I always prioritize safety and communication. I also understand that every dog is different. Some need play and activity, while others need patience, consistency, and a calm presence. I adapt my care to what helps each pet feel most comfortable and happy.

“Alexis was very attentive to our 3 cats. We will definitely book her again. Our cats range from young to old and they all loved her. She’s responsible and trustworthy.”


“Michael jumped on board for a same day request on a holiday weekend to drop in at our home to feed our two high energy Boston's. He took them out for a potty break and a fun run and fetch game. Communication and availability was exactly what we needed. Next time we need a fur kid sitter, we won’t hesitate to contact Michael.”

“Mary and Derek have been reliable and consistent taking care of Bruno. He can be a finicky eater and tends to be a little diva some times, but he has been comfortable and well cared for. Thank You!”


“This was my first time since moving and having my cat alone so I was nervous to hire someone to check in on her. Tai was communicative, caring, friendly and sweet! She closely followed the instructions I left. I am so grateful for the last minute drop-in visit. I will definitely reach out again and would recommend her for anyone’s pet!”

About: I have always loved animals since I was born. When I was in high school I started pet sitting all over lancaster and when I was a senior I went to school to become a veterinary assistant which lead to tech school. A decade later I am still in the veterinary field doing what I love… saving lives! I have experience from small animal to large and even experience with exotics/pocket pets. I promise to always provide the best care possible for your fur baby! I will always treat them as my own. 🥰 I currently work for a small veterinary clinic where my hours are 9-5 Monday-Thursday and 9-12 on Fridays. I do not work weekends! I am more than willing to stop in, spend the night, or do whatever best fits your animals needs! I have had training throughout the years while being in school, attending continuing education in other states, and working with animals every single day since I was 17 years old. I am CPR certified for both cats & dogs. I promise to provide the best care possible!

“Abbey did a great job caring for our Dog Rocky and Cat Klohe. She came to our home to meet our pets prior to the scheduled dates. She was very responsive and on time. I would recommend Abby to anyone that needs pet sitting.”

Frequently asked questions about Rover
The average cost of Pet Sitting in Kinderhook is $22 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 1,923 sitters on Rover offering Pet Sitting across Kinderhook. 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 Kinderhook. On Rover:
- 90% 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.
