First time working with Tressa. Punctual, reliable and communicative. My two standoffish cats were pretty comfortable around her. Instructions followed exactly as provided. Overall an awesome sitter.

Jewelia was great! She was reliable, communicative, and my dogs loved her from the second she walked inside. She saved me last minute when our dog boarding cancelled due to kennel cough and gave me peace of mind. Best part was she lives so close to us! Would definitely recommend and would use here again!

For the first time ever we were able to travel without worry for our two Great Pyrenees. Melissa is so kind and caring, her empathy and love for dogs was apparent immediately. She is extremely competent and thoughtful, we received multiple photos of our pups and other farm animals. She even sent photos of locked gates! We returned home to happy & healthy pups, horses, and cattle. I trust Melissa immensely with our beloved pets and hope to work with her again in the future!

Emily was so sweet with my little Zoey Bear. Zoey has pretty bad separation anxiety and I could tell that she was at ease with Emily. Additionally, Emily went above and beyond to come meet Zoey before the scheduled date and she even gave Zoey a massage while I was gone! Emily was on time, responsive to my messages, and respectful to my home as well. I will be booking he again for sure and highly recommend her!

About: I’ve taken care of animals my whole life. Especially puppies. My parents and I raised puppies since I was about 12 years old!! I loved it and ever since then, it’s been my dream to take care of animals! I have a full time job from Monday-Friday 8-5pm so the best time for me to look after your pets is weekends. I can stay with them after work during the weekdays though (overnight). I am very reliable and loving and I will take care of your animals and make sure they are happy! I will accommodate any needs they may have!

About: I grew up surrounded by dogs, and cats; animals have always been a big part of my life! With 10 years of experience, I’m comfortable caring for animals of all sizes, ages, and personalities. I have training in small animal nutrition and experience administering medications to dogs. Whether your pet is young, senior, energetic, or needs a little extra care, I’m happy to provide dependable, attentive, and loving care while you’re away. I currently work in a role where I create my own schedule, so I have both the flexibility and time to dedicate to caring for your pet! I currently do not offer in-home pet sitting but due to my flexible work schedule, I can easily care for your pet as you need!

About: I’m an active and adventurous person who loves keeping pets happy, engaged, and entertained. I have a Border Collie who I train in agility and take on mountain adventures around the world, so I’m especially comfortable with high-energy dogs who need more than just a quick walk. I love creating fun, active experiences that match each pet’s personal needs. I’m available anytime! I am so lucky to be a stay at home dog mom. I love to go on short or long walks with any pup! I can also be there to just spend time your fur baby if they prefer that. Let me know and I’ll adjust anything for your fur baby! I currently have a border collie Blue! He is 9 years young and loves to run! I take him out for runs every morning and evening. We love to hit up the agility course at the Heart of the Valley every week as well! When we aren’t outdoors we are cuddled up watching movies relaxing!

About: I have over four years of experience in the dog training industry, where I started in animal husbandry before transitioning into hands-on dog training. Through this work, I’ve developed a strong understanding of canine behavior, handling, and care. In addition to my professional experience, I grew up on a ranch and have been surrounded by animals my entire life. Caring for animals has always been a part of who I am, and I love building trust with pets while ensuring they feel safe, happy, and well cared for. I currently work part-time in the evenings, which gives me plenty of daytime availability for walks, drop-in visits, and pet care. My flexible schedule allows me to provide reliable attention and exercise throughout the day, whether your pup needs a quick potty break, a long walk, or some extra companionship while you’re away. I’m committed to making sure every dog gets the care, activity, and attention they deserve. Your dog’s safety and well-being are always my top priorities. With my background in animal care and dog training, I understand how to read canine body language, recognize potential stressors, and respond appropriately to different situations. I take care to use secure handling practices, maintain awareness of our surroundings during walks, and follow any specific instructions you provide for your pet. My goal is to ensure every dog feels safe, comfortable, and cared for while in my care, giving you peace of mind when you’re away.

About: I’ve taken care of pets of every kind since I was about 10 years old. We had chickens, goats, horses, cows, dogs, cats, and a peacock growing up. I’ have two dogs of my own and I’ve owned horses for the last 20 years of my life’s I’m currently working part-time early mornings so I am home all day to spend time with your pet. When I am work, my partner is home in case of any emergency. We have 10 acres of unfenced property for your dog to run. We also have a fenced in deck for dogs to enjoy sunshine and listen to the birds while we are home. We often take dogs on Ike’s or to the dog park if you would like.

About: Growing up with dogs, cats, and horses, I have experience training multiple puppies and horses. Our puppies were Dobermans and Rhodesian Ridgebacks, so I am very comfortable with large dogs! My rehomed-to-me dog is a border collie blue heeler mix who had a lot of anxiety before I showed him how safe and precious he is. My husband and I have a year old golden Aussie puppy we got fall 2024. I have also dog sat since I was a teenager, consistently watching a young pit bull and boxer and elderly dachshund and Bernese. My daily routine with my dogs includes a long daily walk, trips to the dog park, playing with toys, picking out treats at the pet store, and snuggling. If given the chance, I will give your pup the same amount of attention! Since I live in an apartment, I unfortunately cannot have additional pets in my home. However, I am more than willing to come to your home to care for your dog! I do work a full-time job, but I am available to walk, feed, and hang out with your pets before and after work.

About: I’ve grown up caring for dogs my whole life and can’t imagine a home without them. Right now, I share my days with two lovable Labrador retrievers—Aspen, my energetic and sweet, chocolate girl, and Gunner, my laid back red fox boy. Over the years, I’ve gained experience not just with daily walks, play, and training, but also with more specialized care like giving medications, tending to special needs, and supporting dogs through health challenges. My heart dog, Tank, sadly passed in 2024 from a cancerous brain tumor, and that experience taught me how important compassion, patience, and gentle care are when a dog needs extra love. Whether your pup is a playful ball chaser or needs calm, attentive support, I’m dedicated to making sure every dog I watch feels safe, happy, and cared for like family. As a stay-at-home mom to a 2½-year-old daughter and a 1-year-old son, I spend my days at home surrounded by my own pets, which means I always have time to give them the love and attention they deserve. Pet care is already part of my daily routine—whether it’s playtime, feeding, or just being present to make them feel secure—so I’d love to use my extra time to help other pet parents, too. I’m available any day of the week and can make multiple visits a day if needed, whether that’s to provide extra potty breaks, medication, or just a little more companionship while you’re away. I understand how much peace of mind it brings knowing your pets are cared for, and I’m committed to giving them the same care and attention I give my own. Your pet’s safety and comfort are always my top priority. I have a brand-new fenced yard that gives plenty of room to run and play, along with my two friendly, playful labs who love having company. Fresh water is always available in large, clean bowls that I wash daily, and for water-loving pups, there’s even a creek right next to the house where supervised splash time is an option. I also have plenty of toys to keep tails wagging, and I can easily crate a dog if that’s part of their routine or helps them feel secure. My goal is to provide a safe, fun, and trustworthy environment where every pet feels right at home.

About: I have been taking care of dogs and cats since i was 12. Friends, family, and people in my neighborhood have reached out to walk, feed, and house sit with their pets. I am experienced in small to large dogs and multiple cats. I hope i can provide a fun and loving experience for your pet! I am currently working part time so I will have plenty of time to take care of your pets! I am not in school either so my schedule is pretty flexible. Unfortunately my landlord doesn’t allow pets so I can’t have them stay with me. However, I can drop in or stay at your place. I love walking and exploring new areas so I would love to take your pet along!

About: I am an experienced dog care professional with over 13 years of hands-on experience! After 3 years as a dog trainer, working with everything from tiny pups to giant breeds, I’ve tackled a wide range of behavioral issues, from anxiety to aggression. I've cared for dogs since I was 10 and even worked as a vet technician at 21, gaining a solid understanding of medical procedures, medication administration, and safety protocols. Whether it's a playful pup or a senior dog needing extra attention, I'm ready to provide the love and care your dog deserves! Currently a part-time nanny and finishing my degree online, I'm looking for pet sitting opportunities to help pay off my student loans. I’m passionate about animals and excited to offer reliable and loving care for your pets while I balance my studies! I have two friendly pups who love to play, but they don't need to join me for house sitting or any adventures unless your pets are interested and they get along well! If your dogs meet and behave appropriately, they’re welcome to join in. I’m also experienced with behaviorally challenged dogs and happy to help them get the exercise and attention they need, whether or not they interact with my pups!

This was my second time booking Alexa, and she was fantastic. My 5 animals are all very comfortable and happy when she’s around, even my extremely shy cat that hardly ever comes out for pet sitters. She provides me daily updates on all my animals and has given me peace of mind when I’m away.

Frequently asked questions about Rover

The average cost for Pet Sitting in Manhattan on Rover is $17.12 per visit (as of September 2026). However, all sitters set their own rates based on experience, location, and availability.

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

As of September 2026, there are 531 sitters on Rover offering Pet 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.

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 Manhattan. On Rover:

  • 100% of sitters can help with special care needs
  • 97% 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 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.
