“Chris was incredibly communicative while we were away - updates multiple times a day and photos of our pup which was very appreciated! He took care of any messes from our pup and left our house very clean. We would hire Chris again in a heartbeat!”
“It is really stressful leaving your dog for a weekend, especially when you’ve been together all day, everyday during the pandemic. Stacy though eased our anxiety completely and she couldn’t have taken better care of our dog. She was friendly and loving towards our dog Mikey when they first met...she stayed and hung out with him to make him less anxious when we were away..and sent us pictures/updates every time she went to see him. I would give more than 5 stars if I could. I highly, highly recommend Stacy for anyone who needs a dog sitter. We ll definitely be using her again in the future.”
“Joe is caring and was very focused on the needs of our dogs. He stayed with them for 10 days in our home and was in constant communication, sending plenty of pictures. He followed the entire daily routine of the dogs and you could tell the dogs became attached to him. :) He respected the house rules and even did the laundry at the end before leaving. Thanks for a great experience!”
“Jason was great with our animals. He sent some photos and kept in touch letting us know how everything was going and how sweet our pets were for him. We hope to be able to book him again in the future.”
“Griffin was an great sitter for our animals. Very thorough with communication, and always sent updates with photos and how each of our pets were doing. It puts your mind at ease knowing someone like Griffin has your pets best interest in mind. We definitely will book with him again!”
“Sammantha is our go-to care taker for our rat terrier Indy. She is very responsive and treats Indy like one of her own. Indy loves when Sammantha comes to visit. Highly recommended!”
About: Dogs are like part of the family to me. I love their unique personalities and spending time with them. I have experience boarding, drop in visits and walking friends and neighbors dogs.

I am a strong believer that dogs need exercise and will treat your dogs like my own. I'm currently working part-time, so I'll have plenty of time to play with your pups! I'm available for boarding on weekends, and weekdays. Any time. I have a fenced yard to keep your fur baby company. Where they can run and play all they want. I can easily crate your dog if needed.
“We were so lucky to get to work with Brant the first time we left our rescue pup, Rhett, with a sitter. Brant was extremely helpful, professional, caring and responsive. Rhett took to him right away, and we felt fully confident and at ease while away knowing that Rhett was getting great care and lots of snuggles and belly rubs. We got regular updates from Brant, which helped us feel connected and kept us in the loop, and he treated our home with care as well. We are already planning to work with Brant again and definitely recommend him to anyone looking for help with their pet!”

“Maria is dependable and reliable. Answered all my worried questions! She has a calming presence which is just what my very anxious 90lbs Great Pyr needed! I would definitely recommend her!!!”
About: Ever since I was kid, I've always had pets so it was normal for me to know how to take care of them. I've had dogs, cats, birds, fish, hamsters and turtles and I've loved them all so much. Animals make my day happier and I have rarely encountered an animal that disliked me. I have a playful side when I meet them but I can also be strict and discipline them by telling them what not to do with the tone of my voice. In this way, I actually trained my older sister's dog to obey, sit, give a handshake, and respect me. I am a natural leader to these animals. I give them freedom to jump on the couch and play around the house or the backyard, but unless I tell them to, they cannot be in our beds. I can play, bathe, and feed your dog as well. I am sure we will have fun together and I will take care of them as if they were my own. ‼️‼️‼️‼️ On a side note, my calendar here may seem empty, but I might be pretty booked for the day with my other clients out of here, which is why it's really helpful to let me know ahead of time of your requests so I can accommodate you better 😊. I have a fenced yard and 2 playful doggies to keep your pup company. They all run around or play fetch until they're tired enough. Thank you in advance! This is my work full time for now, so I'm always home unless I'm running some errands to help out my family. Your dogs will never be unattended since my family also helps me watch them. Since I have a 2 story house, your pets are always on my watch because they sleep with me. You can bring their bed/blanket for them to sleep on as well if its more comfortable for them.
“Was so fortunate to find Hayden at the last second. She was great with our two crazy dogs and treated our home with care. Would be happy to have her stay and care for guys again anytime. (Only sad that she was only available due to being home during winter break from college!)”
“Nicole provided exceptional care for our dog during our week out of town. She was our first Rover hire, and we have no complaints, just appreciation! Our dog Lucy has a lot of anxiety about new experiences and people, but she loved Nicole! We definitely will book Nicole again in the future.”
About: I genuinely enjoy caring for animals and take pride in being someone your pet will feel comfortable with right away. Over the years, I have volunteered with several local rescues where I have gained experience with all dog ages, as well as special needs dogs. Through hands-on experience, caring for dogs with different personalities/needs I have learned how important patient, routine, and clear communication are. I pay close attention to each dogs’s energy level, cues, and comfort. Whether your dog prefers a slow stroll, quiet companionship, or steady exercise I meet them where they are. I do this because I believe pets deserve calm, respectful care and owners deserve peace of mind, knowing their animals will be truly cared for as my own. I currently work full-time from home which gives me the flexibility to be available first thing in the mornings, lunchtime or in the evenings. I am available on weekends as well. When caring for your pets in your home, I will follow their preferred daily routine. Whether that involves walking, feeding, or administering medications. If staying at my house, we are situated on a half acre lot with a small fenced in area. Our neighborhood is self-contained. I have 3 friendly dogs ranging from 7 months to 14 years old. If your dog prefers to be crated or to have a room of their own, I can accommodate that as well.
“Chantal did a wonderful job watching Luna while I was away! She was very responsive, provided me plenty of updates, and left my apartment in great condition. I would definitely recommend her!!”
About: I adore animals and like to treat everyone as if it’s my own. I have been pet sitting throughout college and post grad for about 5 years now. I am incredibly reliable and will treat your space as if it’s my own. I work a fully remote job. I am incredibly flexible and able to care to all your pets needs. Welcome all jobs short or long. I like to keep your furry friend on there set schedule and routines. Everyone operates differently like to meet with the family and see what is best for your animal while you’re away. Love sending lots of updates and pictures throughout the process.
“Rachel was incredibly sweet with my dog when he was sick. She stayed with him for a day and kept me updated on how he was doing. She was respectful in my home and left everything as she found it. I would be very happy to have her watch Wotan again!”
About: I’ve had dogs all my life and currently have three dogs at my parents house that I care for regularely when my parents need me to and I love it. I’ll come with treats and if your dog has any dietary restrictiond please let me know :) I’m currently working for Arc Midhudson on thurs-Sun at the moment! Sometimes there is variation in that schedule but that it for the most part :) I have a medical condition that may make me have to re schedule appointments but hopefully we can work together on it !! I could teach your dogs some basic tricks like sit and I am a good leash handler. I carry around a fanny pack with my dog stuff in it so it’s hands free and accessible for me.
“Gabrielle was a GREAT house sitter! The animals were happy when I got home, she did everything and then some that I asked, and she left no footprint behind. I couldn’t be happier and I hope she will come house sit our pets again soon! Thank you so so much, I really appreciate you Gabrielle!”

Katherine was excellent with my dog Javi while I was away for several days. She kept me updated and sent me photos throughout my trip. She was able to care for Javi on short notice which really helped out since my last sitter cancelled. I would definitely use her again in the future to care for Javi!
Alexandra was an amazing dog sitter! She was extremely responsive, responsible, and kept us updated throughout Lou’s stay, which gave us so much peace of mind. It was clear that Lou was well cared for and received lots of attention and love. We couldn’t have asked for a better experience and would absolutely book with Alexandra again. Highly recommend!
Brant is incredible! From the first meeting, he clearly took the care of our pets seriously. He took time to ask many questions about what would make Mabel comfortable and how he could best care for her. This was our first time hiring a pet sitter through an app, and we chose Brant based on his reviews. And we are SO glad we did! We will be hiring Brant again for our menagerie (1 dog and many cats). His kindness, attention to every need of the pets, and level of both care and communication have been amazing. We now know we can travel with peace of mind. Highly highly recommended!

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 Lake Peekskill 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 Lake Peekskill 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.
<b>Tip:</b> 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 Lake Peekskill 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!

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 .
