“She was absolutely great and helped me out on relatively short notice when my normal sitter couldn’t make it. She sent lots of pictures and videos so I knew my boy was doing well! Highly recommend”

“Lauren is very sweet and personable with my both my boys and is understanding of my needs as well. I have one love bug and one wild child and she handles them both perfectly by letting them out to play and potty but recognizes when they’re too hot and will rub bellies on the couch to keep them company. I will be using Lauren weekly from now on which is of great help with my hectic schedule. It’s been so comforting knowing my boys aren’t left home alone too long and that my home is in good hands while she’s here <3”
About: I’m a big dog and cat lover. I have owned and taken care of my own pets for at least the last 6+ years. I take pride in a job well done. I have been working for a vet for the last few weeks and have picked up a few key thing to look for if your animal is sick or having problems. I am home most of the time which gives me great opportunity to focus on your fur babies. When you leave your pet in my care it will be as if you never left. I will give them the undivided attention they need to keep them calm and happy. I love all animals and look forward to taking care of your fur babies.
About: I have three of my own senior babies that I love with all my heart, and I am looking to spread that love to your babies as well. I have experience with pets of all ages, but caring for seniors is one area where I excel. I am very patient and gentle, and I am very diligent about routines (especially when it comes to medical needs/medications). I currently work from home have the ability to incorporate visits within my daily schedule. I am also free on weekends and can provide extended or multiple visits when needed. I have a fenced in yard at my home, and even when my dogs are outside, I am always watching them to ensure they are safe, which I would also do for your family. If you do not have a fenced in yard, I would be sure to take your loved one outside on a secured leash.
About: Hi! I’m Summer, a stay-at-home mom with years of hands-on experience caring for dogs of all sizes, breeds, and personalities. I understand that every dog is different, so I focus on providing personalized care that fits their needs and routine. My home is calm, clean, and pet-friendly, with a fully fenced-in yard for safe outdoor time. On warmer days, dogs can enjoy supervised play and even cool off in a doggy pool, which many pups love. Because I’m home most of the day, your dog will receive consistent attention, supervision, and care. Whether your dog is active or more laid-back, I make sure they feel comfortable, safe, and part of the family. I also provide regular photo and update check-ins so you can feel confident your dog is happy and well cared for while you’re away. I’d love to set up a meet and greet to see if we’re a good fit! Pet care fits naturally into my daily routine since I’m a stay-at-home mom and home most of the day. This allows me to provide consistent supervision, regular potty breaks, feeding on schedule, and plenty of attention throughout the day. I structure my day around maintaining a calm, predictable environment, so dogs can feel comfortable and settle in easily. Outdoor time, play, and rest are balanced based on each dog’s needs and energy level. Your pet will not be left alone for long periods and will be part of our daily routine. I provide a safe, calm, and supervised environment with a fully fenced-in yard for secure outdoor time. I follow each dog’s routine closely, monitor behavior, and prioritize a low-stress, structured setting. Your pet’s safety and comfort are always my top priority, and I provide regular updates for peace of mind.
About: Hi, My name is Debbie and I would love to care for your dog(s) and/or cat(s). I am a lifelong animal lover. I currently share my home with 2 dogs and 4 cats, so I am comfortable with multi-pet households and all the fun (fur) that comes with them. One of my favorite things to do is volunteer at a local animal shelter where I walk the dogs and help care for them. I enjoy getting to know animals of all ages, from playful puppies and kittens to calm, senior pets who just want to a snuggle buddy. I am experienced giving medication, and I always take the time to get to know your pet’s unique personality, routines, and needs. I will be here to make them feel safe and happy while you are away. https://www.rover.com/sit/debbib67696 I work remotely with a flexible schedule, which means I can easily accommodate feeding times, medication, litter box and other clean ups, and cuddle time.

In addition to caring for your pet(s), I will update you regularly with photos and messages so you never have to wonder how things are going.
About: I’ve taken care of animals since I could walk. My family has always had a household of cats and dogs. When I was a babysitter I would also watch any animals needed of me.

All other days are free, if you need me a weekend it needs to be 5 days in advance. I do not have a fenced In yard. I have two pet friendly dogs who I can put in a crate if needed. Anything your pet needs will be fulfilled with love and kindness
About: Hi! I'm a huge animal lover and would love the opportunity to care for your pets. I have a pit bull/Lab mix of my own, so I know how important it is to leave your pet with someone you trust. I've also cared for my nanny family's dog, so I'm comfortable with walks, feeding, playtime, keeping up with routines, and giving medications if needed. I'm happy caring for pets of any age or size. I decided to join Rover because I'm looking for a summer job doing something I genuinely enjoy. I love spending time with animals, and I know every pet has their own personality, so I'm happy to be patient and let them warm up at their own pace. I'll treat your pets the way I'd want someone to treat my own, with lots of care, attention, and love. I also know how reassuring updates can be, so I'm always happy to send pictures and check in while you're away. I can't wait to meet you and your pets!

“Katie is very good with my dog and puppy. She is very kind and easy to work with. I’ve only just started using Katie but I know my fur babies are in good hands with her. I definitely recommend her!”
“Leslye was so caring, courteous and timely with each visit. We enjoyed the photo updates and the love and compassion she showed for my 3 dogs and kitty. We know they were carefully cared for and attended to while we were gone. Thank you so much for your exceptional service. We will definitely be using you again!”
About: I have begged for and cared for animals ever since I was a child. Always the sensitive soul, I tend to be more comfortable with animals and they seem to be quickly comfortable with me. The bigger the better so it seems! As a yoga instructor and former runner, I crave moving around outside. During the week I have plenty of time to get your buds out for potty breaks & attention, the morning being the extended time for play. While Monday & Tuesday are completely full, Friday through Sunday are completely open. Weekends are when if you need me to house sit, that is an option. Obviously, this is guided by any instructions you give. You know your pet and any little eccentricities they may have. I also go by how they are acting after you have been away for a few hours and their experience with absent family members. In bad weather, I'm great with animals that frighten easily. Even if they do not wish to be touched, I calm my tone and talk more so they know they're not alone. Eye contact if that's something they are comfortable with. Ugh, I sound wacky, but it really is vibe check. Be aware, I have a fragrance allergy which would need to be addressed before overnight care.
About: I have 4 years of experience caring for dogs of different sizes, breeds, and personalities. I’m comfortable with feeding, walking, playtime, basic routines, and making sure pets get plenty of attention while their owners are away. I’m available for boarding on the weekends and sitting during the week after 3pm. If you need me outside of that time zone just contact me. I have a big yard for them to run around and have fun in. I follow the owners instructions closely and I make sure they have fresh food, water and plenty of attention
About: For me, pets are family, not just animals we care for! 🤍 As a dog mom to Scottie, I know how important it is to find someone you can trust with your fur babies. I’ll treat your pets with the same love, patience, and attention I give my own. Whether that means playing fetch, keeping them company, giving extra cuddles, or sending you cute updates while you’re away, I want you to feel at ease knowing your babies are in good hands. My goal is to make every pet feel safe, loved, and right at home! 🐶💕 I have a daily routine with my own dog, Scottie, and understand the importance of keeping pets on their regular schedules. I’m happy to fit pet care into my routine and provide feeding, walks, playtime, and plenty of attention while their owners are away! 🐾 I offer my services at YOUR home. I feel it’s important to keep animals where they are comfortable and feel safe while you are away!🐾
About: I wholeheartedly cherish and adore pets, as they bring immeasurable joy and companionship into my life. Their unwavering loyalty, affectionate nature, and ability to understand and connect with humans on a profound level make them invaluable members of any family. The unconditional love they provide is unparalleled, and I believe that caring for pets is a truly enriching and rewarding experience, one that brings happiness and fulfillment beyond measure My pet care is an integral part of my daily and weekly routine. I ensure regular feeding, exercise, and playtime, as well as grooming and health check-ups. I prioritize their well-being, setting aside quality time for bonding and training, which strengthens our relationship and brings us both joy and contentment. As a pet care provider, whether in my own home or my clients', I prioritize the welfare and happiness of the animals entrusted to me. I tailor my services to meet their specific needs, which may include regular feeding, exercise, and play sessions. In-home care involves maintaining a safe and comfortable environment, adhering to their daily routines, and administering any necessary medications. Additionally, I ensure ample companionship and attention to alleviate any anxiety they may experience when separated from their owners. My ultimate goal is to create a nurturing and loving atmosphere for the pets under my care.
“Thank you Christopher for your help. He was great with communication and he even arrived early for the check ins. I have a 1 year old and she is still potty training and gets anxious while I’m away. She left a surprise, but he was still willing to help and clean it up and I really appreciate that and still felt bad. I’m grateful he took the extra step, thank you.”
About: Growing up I've always had a love for all types of pets, I've had a few family pets that I would take care of as well! What sets me apart from other sitters is that I strive to create a bond with your pets! Usually, I would like to set up an appointment ahead of time to meet your loved ones and we can create a bond, I would like to take this time to see if they're comfortable with me based on body language & behaviors! I have experience working with all kinds of pets, and I've worked at boarding facilities. I have experience working with reactive animals and I currently have a reactive dog!! Any extra knowledge I have is because I have a great sister who is a veterinary technician! I currently work 2 jobs, both of which are Thursday-Sunday. At one of my jobs I work overnight, so there is a possibility I will have to leave to work in the middle of the night and will be back by morning. Along with my 2 jobs, I am also a college student, with that being said I have to attend in-person classes during the week. I am able to care for your loved ones before, between, and after work, and make it a priority to give your animals quality care & all the love I can. If you have any questions about my schedule please feel free to reach out! I keep a close watch on my own pets as well as the pets I look after. I would prefer a list/note of what type of pet care you expect, for instance writing a note with your animal's daily schedule and when/what to feed them! If your babies have any allergies or if there's anything specific you'd like me to know about your pet please also disclose that information. At the end of each stay/visit, I make it a point to include a brief summary of how your pet(s) behave, just to bring you up to speed! I like to send lots of photos and videos of your pet, so keep your phone close to receive ALL the love from back home <3

Frequently asked questions about Rover
As of November 2026, there are 2,139 sitters on Rover offering Pet Sitting across Mount Vernon. 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 Mount Vernon. On Rover:
- 90% of sitters can help with special care needs
- 94% can help with giving oral medications or injections
- 96% 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.
