About: I am a vet tech that is passionate about getting pups out and about. Whether is be opinionated or timid, fast pace or slow, sniffer or all business all dogs deserved to get out and about and I am here to help make that happen! My schedule is flexible as my full time job has flexible hours. I am home most weekends and look forward to meeting your furry friend. I understand change can be stressful to dogs so I strive to make the transition and keep their normal routine best as possible. As well as checking in and keeping everyone updated.
“Elisa was fabulous with our Mr. Henry and went above and beyond for what was asked of her. She did 2 drop-ins for us a day and always sent pictures and was always running on schedule. SHE'S HIGHLY RECOMMEND!!”
“Sarah has been a life saver for Titan.. Titan loves his daily visits. And relieves so much stress if trying to get home daily with work schedule..”

Pet care fits seamlessly into my daily routine because my schedule is highly flexible!

Because I am so adaptable, I can quickly adjust to whatever timeline your pets need to stay happy, comfortable, and stress-free Whether at my home or yours, I focus on safety and mimicking your pet's normal routine. In your home, I strictly follow your rules, keep litter boxes pristine, walk dogs on their usual routes, and secure your property. In my home, I provide a fully pet-proofed, welcoming environment where cats and dogs get dedicated attention, structured playtime, and their own safe spaces to rest comfortably.
“Kara was amazing! She kept us so well informed and took such good care of our babies. One of our dogs had a last minute change and needed medication given and she was super flexible and eager to help. We also have a crotchety old retired service dog and she took to Kara so so well. We will 100% be booking Kara again if we need it!”
“Dina is awesome!! She is great with dogs and intuitively knows what they need. She always sends me adorable update photos of her loving on my puppy when I’m away at work!”
“Taylor did everything I asked amazingly! She took care of my hamster over Christmas and was more than willing to take care of him. Will definitely be using in the future if need be!”
“Angelee was so amazing and sweet! She sent me photos and videos during every visit, and kept up great communication! I highly recommend her for anyone that's looking for someone to watch over their fur babies!!”
“Cat was fantastic! She was so good with my cats and it was a huge weight off my shoulders getting her dozen of pics everyday from her visit with them. My cats, while happy to see me home, will definitely be missing her daily visits. Highly recommend, will be rebooking with her in the future!”
“Sarah went above and beyond when it comes to caring for our pet while we were away. She did multiple drop in visits for us and excelled in communication, photography ✨, and just overall making sure our pup was very well cared for. She’s great, I recommend her and will definitely be using her services again!”
“Addelynn was great watching my cats, and would definitely recommend her! Super easy communication to schedule and coordinate keys with her. She took care of both my cats & sent updates and photos for my peace of mind while I was away. It seems like she already became close friends with my cat Ricky who was purring in her lap after only 2 visits, which makes having to be away even easier <3”
“Olivia was great. She gave the pups all the lovings while I was away. She sent pics and was great at communicating. The pups loved her. Will definitely use again!”

“Tiffany was great! This was our first time using rover and everything went so smoothly! Tiffanys communication was great and we would love to utilize her in the future!”
“Jeff did a wonderful job with my 4 cats. I was really nervous leaving them alone with a stranger, but from the beginning he was very responsive and communicative. When he came by for the meet and greet it was clear he was a cat lover, and took the time to get to know my cats individually. I left him very complicated instructions (4 cats, 4 different diets, all 4 needed medicines), and he handled it like a pro. He sent me a ton of updates, photos and videos, and it was clear he put a lot of time into playing with them, petting them, bonding with them... I felt like I was able to relax and enjoy my vacation because they were in good hands. Highly recommend him!”
“Katherine was communicative while I was away, and I came back to a very happy cat! I felt completely at ease knowing she was taking care of Chevy.”
About: Looking for an excited pet sitter with experience living with and caring for fur babies? Look no further! I have lived with and taken care of dogs for much of my life, and I have plenty of experience dog sitting for friends and family. I now have 2+ years of experience with paid pet sitting via Rover and with other private clients! I am able to stay overnight and accommodate any requests you may have for your fur baby - keeping them happy and healthy is the priority! I am available to be present constantly on weekends and after 5:30pm on weekdays. Whatever your schedule, I would be happy to accommodate within my availability! I can do early morning visits, lunch visits (if necessary), and evening stays. I live in an apartment, so I am only able to care for pets in my home for short periods of time (an afternoon or so!). If there are needs in-home while I am pet sitting (any cleaning or house care), I would be happy to take care of that as well!
The median cost per visit for pet sitting in Mount Vernon is $19

Catherine was absolutely amazing! She took notes during our meet and greet, and asked all the right questions! She sent tons of pictures of my kitties and kept me updated every day! The boys seemed more than happy when I came home from vacation! I would 110% recommend Catherine and will definitely book her again😊
Sarah went above and beyond when it comes to caring for our pet while we were away. She did multiple drop in visits for us and excelled in communication, photography ✨, and just overall making sure our pup was very well cared for. She’s great, I recommend her and will definitely be using her services again!
Sara is always a blessing when I need her. She is always detailed and makes sure my senior cat is good. I’ve been worrying more about him lately as he continues to get older, but I don’t worry as much when she looks after him. She always is able to implement the new stuff I need to do for him as he gets older as well.

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 .

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 Mount Vernon 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.

- 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 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.
