“Great experience with Ruth for my pet rabbit, Brownie. She was very patient, responsive, and kept me updated with great communication and adorable photos—Brownie looked so happy and well cared for! The place was super neat and clean. Ruth also helped keep an eye on the room temperature during the heat wave, which gave me extra comfort while traveling. I really appreciated her care and attention to detail. Highly recommend❤️”

“I had a wonderful experience with Lori and would absolutely recommend her as a pet sitter! I booked her for the first time to take care of my 1yo kitten over a long weekend. Lori was very communicative and set up a meet-and-greet before the booking, which immediately made me feel comfortable. She is friendly, personable, and clearly cares about the pets she looks after. She was punctual for every visit and did her best to send pictures and updates, even though my very shy boy spent most of the time hiding. My cat is not good with strangers (still being socialized), but Lori was patient and understanding, respected his boundaries, and followed all of my care instructions carefully. She truly went above and beyond by vacuuming his litter area and washing all of his dishes & serving spoons at the end of the weekend! I would definitely recommend Lori and will be coming to her the next time I need a sitter.”

About: Hi, I'm Marina! I'm a caring and reliable dog lover from New Rochelle. I had a chihuahua of my own, so I know firsthand how much love and attention dogs need. I treat every dog like my own. I offer dog walking, drop-in visits, and boarding in my home. I'm available most days, and I always send photo updates so you can see your pup is happy and safe. Looking forward to meeting your best friend! I'm available most days of the week, including mornings, afternoons, and evenings, and I'm happy to work around your schedule. I'm not available on Wednesday evenings or Saturdays. I love spending time outdoors with dogs, and pet care fits naturally into my daily routine — walks and visits are the best part of my day! Your dog's safety and comfort always come first. I follow your instructions carefully — feeding, medication, walks, and playtime exactly as you ask. In your home, I keep everything clean and tidy and send photo updates after every visit. In my home, your dog gets a calm, cozy place, plenty of attention, and regular walks. I treat every pet like my own.

“Susan is wonderful! She was so kind and patient with our sweet but anxious 14-year-old cat that we felt comfortable going away. Susan was such a pleasure to deal with, and she was very responsive and dependable. She kept us in the loop after each drop-in, giving us all the details about her visit. We can’t thank Susan enough and would definitely ask her to cat sit again without any hesitation!”

About: 🐾 TOP 10 REASONS OUR DAYCARE IS A PAW ABOVE THE REST 🐾 1. See Your Pup Anytime We offer a live webcam option so you can check in during the day, plus videos and photos sent to you consistently every 1–2.5 hours. You’ll always know your fur baby is safe, happy, and loved. 2. Love Like They’re My Own I’m a proud fur-mom myself — my dog is my heart. Under my care, your pup becomes part of my family, receiving the same love, attention, and TLC they deserve. 3. Professional, Medical Expertise I’m a licensed, registered nurse trained in pet CPR, medication administration, and caring for toy breeds and seniors. Health, safety, and well-being come first. 4. Engaging Walks & Mental Stimulation Daycare includes 2–3 interactive outdoor walks plus potty breaks as needed. Overnight stays include 4 walks. We explore nature, encourage play, and keep minds sharp with puzzles and paw-friendly games indoors. 5. Individualized 1:1 Attention Every pup gets personal playtime, cuddles, and socialization. 6. Fur-Family Celebrations We celebrate birthdays and milestones with pup-friendly parties! 7. Home Full-Time Your pup is never left alone for more than 20 minutes. Full-time care means full-time love. 8. Fun Field Trips Outings to dog-friendly cafés and parks keep things exciting. 9. Spotless, Safe, Sunny Home A clean, bright, pup-friendly environment that’s sanitized daily. 10. Exclusive Discounts First-time clients, extended stays, and referrals all get special pricing. ⸻ 💡 Bonus Care Perks • Daycare Rate: $75 for 8 hours, includes two 30-minute walks + potty breaks.

When you book with me, you’re guaranteed that your pup will be with me 100% of the time — not left alone while the caretaker runs other walks or drop-ins.

Group play is encouraged, but every dog gets individualized love and attention. ⸻ 📅 Book Your Meet & Greet A quick chat or in-person meeting helps me learn your pup’s needs and ensures a happy, stress-free stay. 📲 Contact Me 20% off first-time clients! Rover Code: REBECM30584 Book on Rover Here I work part time from home in the *evenings* so my complete undivided full attention is on your furbabies ensuring their enjoyment, exercise and mental stimulation. Even when walking with them, I continuously interact by talking and encouraging them. This is not your typical mass daycare where the majority sign up as many babies as possible to generate the most income, all the while most are ignored or left to their own vices to provide themselves with their own socialization and care. This is a boutique individualized daycare which means only 4-5 at the very omost daily as the ultimate goal is to enrich and foster love in the daily life of your baby. To provide safety, 1:1 care and genuine enriched intellectual fun and stimulation only a very small group are accepted. I am covid vaccinated and up to date booster along with the flu vaccine. My apartment is kept clean, sanitized, safe, child proof and doggie proof! And no, I have no “human children” but I do have a fur baby of my own and safety is my number one priority

“Jennifer is the *purrfect* kitty sitter! She recently cared for my two senior cats and I couldn’t be happier with the experience. They liked her instantly, even if it took them a little time to fully come out of their shells—but by the end, they *loved* her! Jennifer clearly understands cats and knows how to build trust at their pace. She was reliable, communicative, and sent the sweetest photo updates while I was away. It gave me such peace of mind to know they were in such good hands. If you're looking for someone who will truly connect with your cats and care for them like her own, Jennifer is the one!”

About: Hi! 🐾 I’ve had cats and dogs my entire life and have always loved animals of all kinds. I have experience fostering cats and I currently work in a veterinary clinic, which has helped me understand how to provide loving, attentive care for pets with different personalities and needs. Whether your pet loves to play, cuddle, or just have someone nearby to make them feel safe, I’ll treat them like my own! ❤️🐶🐱 I work at a veterinary clinic Monday, Tuesday, Wednesday, and Friday from 8 AM to 5 PM, so I’m available before and after work on those days. I’m off Thursdays and weekends, which gives me plenty of flexibility for pet care! I’m happy to accommodate drop-in visits and overnight stays any day of the week. I understand every pet and owner has different needs, and I’ll always do my best to work with your schedule to make sure your furry family members get the care, attention, and love they deserve! 🐾❤️ I’m very attentive, patient, and careful with every pet, and I always adjust my approach to their individual personality and comfort level. In a client’s home, I do my best to maintain their normal routine, follow all care instructions, and make sure they feel safe and comfortable in their familiar environment. I understand how important it is to trust someone with your pets, and I treat every animal with the same love, patience, and care I would give my own! 🐾❤️

About: I’ve had welcomed my first pet ever when I was 10 years old , then in 2012 I’ve have welcome another fur baby to the family . Being around my own personal pets made me love doing dog sitting a lot more so starting in 2013 I’ve decided to volunteer and also become employed with the services of onboarding , dog walking , etc . I love doing my job when it comes to pets because I think of them as my own. I am currently working Monday - Friday but my schedule is also very flexible. I am free on the weekends if services are needed as well. When caring for your pets in your home or my home they are well taken care of between any medications, a routine that they follow I will make sure that while your away they will be left in great hands .

About: Animals are not only my passion, but my lifestyle. From an early age I began volunteering at my local humane society, focusing on socializing problem cats. Since then I’ve worked in nearly every area of the pet industry. From vet offices, to horse farms, to dog training. My primary focus has become care, nutrition, and behaviorism. I have an Aussie mix, rescue cat, and even rescue horse! My philosophy is to treat your pets the same as I would mine. After all, they’re family! With my extensive background, I’m comfortable handling mostly any animal, and know how to ensure they’re comfortable around me. Pets are my career, through and through. I’m happy to accommodate to any special needs and provide a flexible schedule. I do have my own car, so transportation is never an issue. While I do not currently offer boarding at my home, I am happy to modify my routine or offerings to best fit you and your pet’s needs. Going away can be stressful, and leaving your pet at home can be nerve wracking for you and your fur baby. I do my best to provide consistent open communication and keep routines as normal as possible so your pet’s stress is as minimized as possible (and your own!) I treat your pet with the same love and care as my own.

She was fantastic- kind, organized, and communicative from start to finish. What really stood out was how comfortable my anxious dog was with her; that’s not easy to earn, and she clearly has a gift for putting nervous pups at ease. She sent regular updates and photos, and it was obvious she genuinely cared about my dog’s wellbeing throughout the walk. Couldn’t recommend her more. She’s a model dog walker and we’ll definitely be booking with her again.

FAQs for Pet Sitting - Larchmont

Frequently asked questions about Rover

The average cost of Pet Sitting in Larchmont is $26 per visit as of November 2026. Most bookings cost between $18 and $47 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 26,962 sitters on Rover offering Pet Sitting across Larchmont. 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 Larchmont. On Rover:

  • 83% of sitters can help with special care needs
  • 87% can help with giving oral medications or injections
  • 94% 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.
