Our puppy loves Isabella! She goes above and beyond when visiting Rocky, playing with him, and taking him for a walk. We definitely recommend Isabella and will continue to use her service in the future.

About: Longtime pet owner and animal lover here! Nice to meet you :) From one pet owner to another, I know the anxiety that comes with leaving your pet while you are on a trip. That is why I feel so passionate about easing those worries and taking the best care of others pets for them. It is so special to be able to spend time with your fur babies, and to assure you that they will be taken care of so you don’t have any worries! It is my mission to take care of your pets as if they are my own. I always make sure to include lots of play and cuddle time. I include daily walks as well. I especially love to play games with them to tire out those active brains and make things more fun! Hide the treat is a favorite. I am currently in school part time. 3 days out of the week I am gone for about 5 hours. Every other day I would be there most of the day, and never gone for more than a couple hours. During drop in visits I always make sure to spend a few hours with the animals. Playing with them, taking them for walks, and of course giving them all the pets and loving. I know how hard it must be to be away from their family so I make sure that they have the best time while you are away and do not spend too much time alone. Whatever safety measures you require in your home I can make sure to accommodate! I can crate your dog if needed. And I always make sure walks are safe.

About: We have grown up around cats and dogs. We are the go to pet sitters for our families and friends. We have experience with cats, dogs, snakes, turtles, fish, and ferrets. We have house trained our dogs and know the patience required with the process. We both work from home so we are able to take dogs out as needed and nothing is better on a work break then cuddling some fuzzies. We have a large fenced in yard,so dogs can safely run and play. We always stay outside with them. Inside the house is pet proofed with couch protection covers and scratching posts for cats. All kitty litter is gated off from dog access. Water bowls are available upstairs and downstairs. If we are outside for more than 15 minutes we also bring a water bowl outside.

Simply put, Anthony was great. This is my first time using a pet sitter and Anthony took the time to answer all of my questions which really put my mind at ease. My Doberman warmed up to Anthony rather quickly which was evident in the terrifuc reports and photos that Anthony provided after each visit. Thank you, Anthony!

About: I've been dog sitting for about 3 years and currently work at Camp Bow Wow, where I care for dogs of all sizes, breeds, ages, and personalities. My job includes monitoring dog behavior, feeding, cleaning, and making sure every dog is safe, comfortable, and happy. I'm patient, dependable, and experienced with energetic puppies and senior dogs. I treat every pet like they're my own and always provide loving care. I currently work part-time, but I make pet care a priority. On the days I'm working, I'll be there before and after my shift to make sure your pet gets plenty of attention, exercise, potty breaks, and love. With advance notice, I can often request days off to provide care. I'll always communicate my schedule clearly so you know exactly what to expect. I have over three years of dog sitting experience and currently work at Camp Bow Wow, where I care for dogs of all sizes, ages, and personalities every day. I always follow each pet's routine, feeding schedule, medication instructions, and any special care they need. My goal is to provide a safe, clean, loving, and stress-free environment while keeping owners updated with messages and photos so they can feel confident their pet is in good hands.

About: I have a genuine love and passion for animal care. I have experience in looking after mine and family friends pets, ensuring they are safe, healthy, and happy. My attention to detail and commitment to their well-being means I will provide the best possible care, whether it's feeding, grooming, or simply giving them the attention they need. I however do not allow anyone in my home during meet and greet or at time of drop off. Both will be held outside in my front yard. I am background checked unfortunately owners are not so please understand. I also do not do pick up or do drops off unless you are local. Please know I only crate if the owner crates. Pups are free to roam home and are never confined or restrained in any way. My home is also peanut and tree nut free, my sister is very allergic! Thank you! I know I am new to the app and don’t have many reviews, however I’d love if you gave me the opportunity to prove to you and your fur baby I am committed to making sure they are happy and safe. And for you to know they are being treated properly and you are able to relax. I can accommodate photos whenever you need also photos of the house, backyard, and anywhere else we go! If you have any questions, please feel free to contact me! 🐶 I am a manager at a restaurant. I work about 30-35 hours a week. However, I live with my two siblings so someone is mostly always home! My schedule is very flexible. I’d love to offer my services on the weekdays and weekends! I have a beautiful trail connecting to my backyard where I take daily walks, and would love to have the company of your fur baby!😁 I have a fenced in backyard, that backs up to a beautiful trail. Which would be perfect for walks! I do have three cats in the home, they are very friendly and have experience being around dogs. They get fed twice a day. Leia and Lucy constantly begs to go outside and sunbathe 🤣. They would love to have company of your animals !!! I will also have a crate available if wanted by the owner!

About: I have had dogs and cats in my life for as long as I can remember. I am just starting my Rover journey and cannot be more excited! I am comfortable around all dogs and willing to adapt and learn what is best for your pet. I will take care of your fur baby, go for walks, and even take them to dog parks if you like. I have two dogs of my own and a cat that believes he owns the house, lol. My schedule is flexible, and I can drop in and accept last-minute bookings. I am currently looking for my next adventure, and why not do something that I enjoy? I have quite a bit of free time during the day and would be more than happy to spend it looking after your cat or dog :) I live on five acres with a fenced-in backyard, plenty of space for dogs to be outside and run around and play. They're favorite on a nice day, just soaking up the sun!

Julia was amazing! I needed someone sort of last minute and she was out of town but made sure to make it back and to our house for a meet and greet. She came and took care of everything, sent pics and an update which eased any worry about being gone long. Definitely will use Julia in the future!

About: I’ve had 3 dogs during my entire life all whom i’ve loved immensely. I’ve dog sat for many family/ friends and they’ve all had me come back to dog sit again! i love doing it :) I work part time at a coffee shop, so i’d have to work around that, i’m looking for a flexible schedule but to be able to fill my time in with animals! I have a small dog myself, if i were to have any body else’s dog at my home i would crate my dog just because he gets too playful when he’s with other dogs and can tend to be more aggressive

Frequently asked questions about Rover

The average cost for Dog Sitting in Manhattan on Rover is $22.2 per visit (as of July 2026). However, all sitters set their own rates based on experience, location, and availability.

Rover makes budgeting the cost of Dog 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 Dog Sitting. For more information on service fees, click here .

As of July 2026, there are 3,063 sitters on Rover offering Dog Sitting across Manhattan. 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 Manhattan 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.

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 Manhattan 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!

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.

A Meet & Greet is a short introductory meeting between you, your dog, 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.

While Rover doesn’t offer traditional subscription services, some sitters offer recurring bookings for services like home visits and dog walking. Recurring services come with their own perks, such as flexibility to modify services (up to five weeks in advance), automatic billing, Rover Card updates, and same-day cancellations.

To find sitters in Manhattan with recurring or weekly availability, select "Repeat Weekly" and which days you’d like them to care for your pet.

Yes, you can find sitters who have experience with handling special pet needs in Manhattan. On Rover:

  • 92% of sitters can help with special care needs
  • 95% can help with giving oral medications or injections
  • 97% 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.

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.
