“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!”

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: What sets me apart from other sitters is my hands-on experience and deep love for animals. I’ve trained my golden retriever for bird hunting, which highlights my ability to handle and train dogs with specific goals in mind. Growing up around English bulldogs has given me valuable insight into their unique care needs due to health complications. I’m also a strong communicator, ensuring clear and open connections with both pets and their owners. Above all, I’m at my best when I’m spending time with animals, and my genuine passion for their well-being drives me to provide the best care possible. My schedule is quite flexible, allowing me to offer weekend boarding and drop-in visits on most weekdays. I can accommodate various timings, whether you need morning or afternoon visits. I am a firm believer that a well exercised pup is a well behaved & happy pup. I spend much of my time with your pet either walking, playing fetch, or letting them run around with other dogs. If boarding, I live in a neighborhood with a wonderful trail system and park for your dog to explore. I have a 1.5 year old golden retriever who is very friendly and social! If your dog requires crating I can definitely accommodate this, my golden is crate trained as well. Additionally, if your dog has specific medical needs, I am both nurturing and attentive in providing the necessary care.

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’ve been taking care of pets since I was 15 and have loved every minute! I spent a year working for Telluride Humane Society in Telluride CO where I got to socialize rescue animals and get them acclimated to life in a home. I have experience caring for senior dogs with mobility issues as well as developing and executing a plan to get over weight dogs healthy again. I took a break from Rover during my undergrad to focus more on my studies, but as a graduate student at MSU I have a fairly flexible schedule and am excited to start taking care of pets again! I am currently a graduate student at MSU with a fairly consistent but open schedule. Mondays, Wednesdays, and Fridays I have class until 1pm. Tuesdays and Thursdays are entirely set aside for my personal research which means that I am on my own schedule and have more flexibility to help! I love an affectionate pet and am happy to give them plenty of love and attention! Though, I also understand that some of them prefer to keep to themselves especially around a new person. I believe I know how to read their body language and figure out where to go from there. I would love to be able to take care of pets at my own home, but our homeowners don’t allow it so I would mainly have to do house visits (which I think is more comfortable for the pet anyway).

About: I have experience pet sitting for dogs, especially caring for a reactive one for a couple of years. I understand how to work with fearful dogs and will care for them regardless. I can walk, feed, and even give medication as needed. I have a deep passion for animals, especially dogs, and I would love to be able to care for yours! I have also worked alongside veterinarians to gain experience in animal handling. I love all dogs, big and small, and I know I could provide great care for your pup! I’m currently a student at Montana State, but all of my classes end at two. I’m available on the weekends for overnights and day pet sitting. I will care for your pets like my own, but I also understand that many pets have different boundaries. I will always respect their boundaries and make sure that your animals are comfortable and happy in their own spaces. Whether that means crates, time spend apart, or time spent together, I will make sure that your pets still feel like they are home.

About: I grew up in a home with cats, dogs, horses, guinea pigs, and a parakeet, so caring for animals has always been a natural part of my life. I take pride in providing attentive, reliable care because I know how important consistency and compassion are for pets. Throughout my life I’ve been responsible for daily feedings and regular cleaning of horse stalls, bird cages, and litter boxes. In high school, I began pet sitting for neighbors’ cats and dogs and gradually expanded to helping other families in my community. I’ve since moved away from my family’s animals and would love the opportunity to continue caring for pets and supporting their owners. I’m committed to providing safe, attentive, and loving care for every pet I work with. I choose my own hours at my current job so my schedule is very flexible and I’d be more than happy to make time to care for your pet! I prioritize following each owner’s instructions closely because most pets feel safest when their routine stays consistent while you’re away. I make sure all essentials are met, including regular feeding, fresh water, a clean and safe environment, and bathroom needs. Beyond that, I pay close attention to what each pet needs to feel comfortable and happy, whether that’s playtime, walks, cuddles or quiet companionship. I focus on building trust at their pace, respecting their space, and giving affection when they want it so they feel secure and cared for.

About: I grew up caring, loving and cuddling with a Golden Retriever and a Dachsund, along with horses, cats and bunnies on our farm. I will go on long walks, play and cuddle with your dog. I had a pit bull and she loved to go to the ENO to hike and swim. If your dog loves that too, I’ll be happy to take them. I have experience with giving medications, caring for ones who have been injured and handling dogs with aggression issues. I love animals so you can have confidence that I will treat your pets with respect and love. I am available 7 days a week. If I am house sitting for you I will also water plants, pick up packages/mail, and any other small tasks you may need. I am excited to meet your dog and find out what their favorite toy, treat, and place to walk will be! Pet care is an intentional and fulfilling part of my daily routine. Even with a full-time schedule, I plan my day around the needs of the pets in my care—whether that means early morning walks, midday potty breaks, or evening play sessions. I prioritize consistency, reliability, and quality time with each pet to make sure they feel safe, loved, and well cared for. Because I only accept a manageable number of bookings at a time, I’m able to give each pet my full attention without overcommitting. You can count on me to stick to their routines and keep you updated throughout the day. When I care for pets in their own home, I aim to keep everything consistent and stress-free. I stick to your pet’s feeding, walking, and medication schedule, and provide updates with photos so you always know how they’re doing. I also respect your space and leave your home just as I found it—clean, secure, and well cared for.

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.

FAQs for Pet Sitting - Manhattan

Frequently asked questions about Rover

The average cost of Pet Sitting in Manhattan is $17 per visit as of October 2026. Most bookings cost between $13 and $29 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 October 2026, there are 527 sitters on Rover offering Pet Sitting across Manhattan. 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 .

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 , 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:

  • 90% of sitters can help with special care needs
  • 94% 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.

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 .

sitters on Rover set their own , 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.
