About: I currently cat and dog sit regularly for my parents and for my girlfriends pets when they are away. I have experience dog sitting multiple dogs and love being active with all animals. I am currently on summer break until classes start, once they do schedule may change. Currently I have very open availability, typically get my day started at 9:30am and love being active throughout the day. Pet friendly apartment and neighborhood. I will follow all safety precautions and instructions given. I have a walking path around my apartment. There is a lot of space for pets to roam around.
“My two Jack Russell’s had a great time with Shannon while she did a 5 day house sit with them. Shannon regularly kept us up to date on their wellbeing with pictures and texts. She also was able to help us out for an extra day when our flight was delayed returning home and ensured the dogs were still taken care of while we were delayed getting home. The house looked great when we got back and we had two happy pups. Thanks again Shannon!”
“Robbie watched our 3 dogs and our cat for 9 days at our home. One of our dogs is a 5mth old Anatolian Shepherd and he is a handful. Robbie took such great care of not only our animals but our home too! She would also send us pictures and kept us updated on our fur-babies. I truly feel this was our 1st vacation worry free. We couldn’t be happier with the choice we made. If you need a trustworthy and reliable pet sitter…. I would definitely recommend Robbie. We are very thankful for her and we would definitely be using her again.”
About: I've grown up taking care of both cats and dogs. I love animals and look forward to helping you care your your precious pets. In the past I have worked as a pet and house sitter for a couple families. I always enjoy any time spent with animals. I have flexible schedule making me available to care for your fur babies! I live in Guerneville, but frequently go to Sebastopol throughout the week. So mainly looking to work for ones in these areas. But open to adventuring in to further surrounding areas if its a good fit for us both! Currently I am not able to board pets in my home because I am renting. But I would be happy to stop by and spend time with your pets whenever is needed!
About: I have grown up with animals my entire life. My family has only ever had cats or dogs, but I have had the opportunity to care for cats, dogs, bunnies, snakes, and more! I’ve had and cared for young puppies and kittens to senior pets, and enjoy caring for all animals. I am a teacher on Summer break and would love the opportunity to help care for your pets while you are busy or away! Please feel free to ask about availability, right now I am very flexible! :) I am a teacher who is on summer break so I currently have a flexible schedule. This means I can drop by to care for pets as needed throughout the day! While I do have pets at home, I am currently renting and unable to board any pets in my house. Instead, I am able to offer drop in services or dog walking! I also am a very active person and would love the opportunity to bring your dog on a run or a hike (with your permission of course)! I am available to stop by for multiple walks/play sessions throughout the day. I have experience with caring for animals overnight as well as housekeeping while pet owners are away. Please let me know if you’d prefer me to do drop-ins during the day or need me to stay overnight for your pet!
“Vicky house sat for us while I was overseas for 11 days. She stayed in touch and communicated very well. I appreciate the care she gave to my dogs and my home. It gave my peace of mind to know she was there. I would definitely recommend her services 🙂”
“David took care of my dog and diabetic kitty this past weekend. He listened to all my concerns with my cat’s diabetes and took great care of him! And he also took great care of my large and energetic dog. Thank you!!”
“Jalynn was amazing! She took great care of our dog who has separation anxiety due to us moving across the country and our dog was so comfortable with her while we were out for the day for work. 10/10 would recommend!!”
“Maddy was incredible!! I felt so comfortable having her at our home. She took pictures everyday and kept us updated with how our pups were doing. We have 3 crazy dogs and she handled them all with ease. Will definitely be booking with her again!”
About: Hello, I’m Erica! I love animals and I’ve worked in the veterinary field as an assistant since I was 15 years old! I promise to take good care of your fur baby/babies and treat them as my own. Again, not to worry, as I have over 11 years of experience treating and caring for both cats and dogs. I am looking forward to working with Rover as a part time job, and more of an excuse to meet more furry friends. I am open to learning specific routes for walks to ensure the comfort of the pet. And I am more than happy to give full reports of the time spent together to keep you, the owner of course, as in the loop as possible. I work from home and have plenty of flexibility!! So excited at the prospect of hanging out with your fur babies!! I will always treat them as my own! Once again, I will always treat your fur babies as my own!! With loads of veterinary medicine experience I always keep a close eye for anything I feel needs special attention and care!
“Tessa took care of two cats and two dogs. One of the cats required a pill every day and one of the dogs needed pills as well. One of the dogs was a senior and needed help with stairs. Tessa did a fantastic job with all of it. I have no fence so she had the added job of leashing and walking the dogs numerous times a day. I would not hesitate to employ and recommend her.”
“Ariana came and stayed with my pup while I was away over the 4th of July weekend. She was great with my pup who is afraid of loud sounds and fireworks. Ariana treated her like she would her own pup. I can't recommend her highly enough.”

Nicole was an amazing pet sitter for our two dogs. She was communicative and responsive and kept to our feeding and walk schedule, which was super important to us. Nicole is trustworthy and caring and we will definitely book with her again in the future. I would highly recommend her.

FAQs for House Sitting - Kiryas Joel
Frequently asked questions about Rover
As of August 2026, there are 2,109 sitters on Rover offering House Sitting across Kiryas Joel. Enter your ZIP code to see which available sitters are closest to your home.
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 Kiryas Joel 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 Kiryas Joel 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 Kiryas Joel 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 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.

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.
