About: I have grown up around animals my entire life, and was often asked by neighbors and friends to watch their pets on vacation. Along with my own experiences owning several varieties of pets including cats, fish, and geckos, I also have professional experience from years working at different pet stores, which broadened my knowledge to dogs, birds, guinea pigs, and other small and exotic animals. Simply put, your pets are mine for the time they are in my care, and I will treat them with the same love and attention that I give my own because I know how much pets enrich our lives. I'm currently self-employed, so I have a flexible schedule to play and care for your pets. I am also available for overnight stays and can do general house care as well such as lights, cleaning and watering plants. I do not board, but I tailor my care based off of the care you are already providing for your pet, so there is as little change to their normal routine as possible.

About: I’ve taken care of animals my whole life! I was raised with cats and two dobermans, and I began regularly pet sitting locally in my early teens. I’m comfortable with administering medicine, and I love getting to know pets and taking care of their needs! I am knowledgeable about training and am detail oriented to make sure your pet is comfortable and following their daily routine as closely as possible. I currently have two kitties at home and appreciate how important it is to find an attentive pet sitter for your beloved pets! Thank you in advance for trusting me with your sweet animal(s)! I’m currently working part time, and I am able to comfortably arrange my schedule to fit your pets’ needs! While I do not board, I am regularly available to stay overnight to house/pet sit! I understand how important it is to build trust between pet owners and sitters as well as between the pets themselves and their sitters! I am detail oriented and will check with you to make sure I understand your pet and their needs, and I love to send updates and photos to check in with owners!

About: I’m a reliable and passionate animal lover with over 10 years of experience caring for dogs and other pets. I offer regular dog-walking services Tuesday through Friday and provide pet sitting every day of the week. Over the years, I’ve gained valuable experience working at a doggy daycare, as a kennel technician and groomer, as well as caring for the pets of family and friends. I also have two amazing dogs at home! I treat every animal as if they were my own, ensuring that they get the best care possible. You’re welcome to reach out at any time while your pet is with me—I know how hard it can be to be away from them. I look forward to meeting you and your furry friend! I currently work full-time through Rover, so pet care is a core part of my daily routine. I do dog walks Tuesday through Friday from 10 AM to 2 PM, and I’m available for new clients after 2 PM. I make sure to communicate with my clients, send picture updates, and treat every client/home with respect and every pet as my own. On walks I'm aware at all times and take safety precautions seriously.

About: My 3 kids and I run a small business caring for animals mostly dogs. All 3 are in their 20’s. My son, Adam does most of the walks and house sitting, I handle the boarding. My reviews are not only for me but for my boys as well. I come from a long line of animal lovers and grew up with many dogs, cats, birds, hamsters. Animals are my life! They offer unconditional love and rely on us to give them love, affection and to meet all of their basic needs. I own my own home on a private dead end street. When your fur babies are here, they are part of our family and are never left alone. There is always someone at home. My mission is to make sure all pups in my care, feel safe, loved and happy. I recently left my job in the medical field. I’m spending my time now with my adult children and my dogs. Life is too short to not do what you love everyday Safety is a priority in my home and I live on a private street with only two houses so there is absolutely zero traffic here

Colleen is simply the best!! She took care of my cat for 5 days while I was out of state. She was very communicative and let me know each time when she arrived. She also provided a little note and photos each visit which I truly appreciate. I felt so relieved knowing my cat was happy and doing okay! I highly recommend Colleen and I will definitely be using her again in the future.

About: I believe in keeping your pet HAPPY and SAFE!!! I have had pets since I was a young girl. I currently own 2 and I advocate for their well being, believing that if the joy of our home, that is them, are well tended to it brings an extra portion of joy and blessing to the home. Similarly, your pet will be cared for with this same understanding. Our pets do so much for our emotional stability and wellness that they too deserve to experience a good quality of life. It is my responsibility to make sure your pet is enjoying themselves. I am currently caring for my senior girl of 12 years who has mammory tumors with a naturopathic holistic approach. I bring a wealth of knowledge about animal wellness as a result. I can share that she has flourished before my eyes and brings her unique spunk and liveliness as an addition to our family. She is a living testimony! I love her and she is the oldest furry member of our family. My pets have taught me so much about responsibility, health and wellness, it has really cultivated diligence and confidence in my ability to heal and help an animal thrive. Please let me know your preferred communication style and I promise to keep you updated with pictures and videos of your pet so you won’t be missing them too much! I enjoy spending time with dogs — they bring me an incredible amount of joy and purpose. Thank you for entrusting me with your furry friend! My pets are my furry family members. I factor their well-being into my everyday routine and devise a daily plan for exercise, food and quality time. My pets are at the top of my priority, and I cater to each one’s individual needs. My dogs reside in a NYC apartment, for this reason, it takes an extra level of commitment to get them out and enjoying time outdoors. I am very vigilant of outside and inside pollutants and take this into heavy consideration. For example, giving my pets filtered water whenever I can, making sure they do not walk over anything harmful like glass, and always keeping a watchful eye when I give them freedom to roam.

About: I have been around pets all my life I love to go on long walks, I believe that pets are our companions and should therefore be cared and treated as such. Going the extra mile for them means the world for me considering they are always there for us during both our highest and lowest moments in life. I am available daily for walks during the morning and afternoon. Being active is apart of my lifestyle and incorporating it by walking pets makes it even more enjoyable. I will keep an eye on all pets assigned to me which will not be a problem since I love playing with pets, and keeping them active. I will especially keep a close eye on puppies and kittens as I know from personal experience that they are very curious and need constant care.

About: New to Rover? Use code BIANCB29046 for $20 off your first booking. Hi, I’m Bianca—a lifelong dog lover serving Riverdale, Kingsbridge, Spuyten Duyvil, Yonkers, and Southern Westchester! I run a small, intimate boutique doggy daycare and boarding service, ensuring your pup gets plenty of personalized attention in a safe and stress-free environment. Unlike large, overcrowded facilities, I keep things cozy so your furry baby can socialize, play, and relax just like they would at home. I also offer dog walking in Riverdale and Kingsbridge. About Me: 🐾 Born & raised in Riverdale – your local dog-loving neighbor! 🎓 Columbia grad & triathlete – active and attentive, so your pup gets plenty of love and care. 🐕 Experienced dog mom – I know how important safety and trust are (especially for pups who love to snack on random things!). 💼 Laid off 6 months ago – growing my small business while job hunting, so your support means the world to me! I know firsthand how stressful it can be to find someone trustworthy to care for your dog while you’re at work, traveling, or on vacation. That’s why I provide frequent updates, photos, and a meet-and-greet beforehand, so you feel at ease knowing your pup is in good hands. Let’s give your dog a fun, safe, and loving experience while you enjoy peace of mind. Message me to set up a meet-and-greet—I’d love to welcome your pup into my home! 🐕💛 Pet care fits seamlessly into my daily routine, especially since I'm currently working from home and applying to jobs, giving me plenty of time to focus on providing personalized care and attention to your dog alongside mine. I’m available 7 days a week with advance notice, ensuring flexibility and dedicated support for your pet’s needs. I have a dog-friendly home, as I own a pup myself, so everything is set up for safety and comfort. My dog is the friendliest cuddle bug, gentle and playful—perfect company for your dog. I also have a crate available if crating is preferred for sleeping or when I'm away, ensuring your pet's routine is maintained while they're with me. I also will take many pictures of your dog daily and send them to you :) My home is a calm and dog friendly environment designed to help dogs feel safe, comfortable, and cared for. Occasional barking, especially during play or adjustment periods, is completely normal and expected. However, dogs with excessive reactive barking toward people, dogs, noises, or movement may not be the best fit for my home environment. My home is a fully potty-trained household, so I ask that all dogs staying with me be fully house-trained as well. I completely understand that occasional accidents can happen, especially during the initial adjustment period in a new environment. However, repeated indoor accidents or marking behavior are not a good fit for my home environment and may result in an additional cleaning fee if extensive cleaning is required.

About: I have grew up with animals since I was in my mommy’s belly. I was always taught to treat animals the way we treat our kids, neighbors, family members etc… at the end of the day our pets are our family and I stand by treating your family the same way I would want mine to be treated. Animals have shown me the true meaning of love, empathy and loyalty and I hope to give what I learned back to every animal trusted in my care. I have owned a german shepherd so I know how to be stern but playful when needed and that body language matters and has a great impact on how animals act and it’s important to show our best for them :) I currently go to school for ultrasound, I attended school M-W-F from 8am- 5pm. For the most part I am free after school and on Tuesday and Thursday all day, I give as much time as I can to my pets and want to be able to do the same for other people’s pets while also being able to help pay for tuition. I understand that animals have a schedule and getting off schedule can mess up the flow of everything with them, I am planning to make sure I can integrate whatever they need into the schedule made for them to continue to make things work the way they need to.

About: I have had my own pets since I can remember ranging from cats, dogs, iguanas, hamsters, fish, salamanders, hermit crabs, and even chicks. Growing up, I spent my summers on my grandfather's farm raising cows, horses, pigs, cats, dogs, chickens and a rooster. I don't have and human kids but I have raised many fur babies. I am the go-to person for family and friends, especially for pets with very specific care instructions. I am in NYC; I drive and have a pretty flexible schedule at this time. My career outside of pets includes Human Resources Management and Operation Director at different schools. I am currently working for myself as a treat maker so I am very flexible with time. I also have a clean license and reliable transportation. I am currently in NYC but can travel to Westchester County and northern NJ as well. I love when a client gives me detailed instructions and will follow them to a tee. I am a very organized person with a high attention to detail who often goes above and beyond in everything I do. Because I have worked with children and at schools, I have been fingerprinted by NYS/NYC, Dept of Health and the NYC Dept of Ed.

If we could give Darianny 10 Stars we would. We have a newly diagnosed diabetic 12 dog. She wears a diaper and she needed to be medicated with insulin via syringe. Both of her needs were met with care, skill and love. She care for our dog fur babie E. and her sister P every day for 5 days. She was punctual, kind to our girls and never rushed her visit. Our dogs need to be fed and let out has well. We would highly recommend Darianny B. for your healthy pet, but more importantly, a dog who needs some medical attention. Darianny is a Vet tech, and that her even more valuable as a caretaker. We can't thank her enough and will used her again and again if she is available

We couldn’t be happier with our experience! Jocelyn went above and beyond to care for our two pups while we were away. Her daily check-ins and photo updates truly put us at ease. We could see how happy, comfortable, and safe our girls were in every picture. She followed all of our instructions closely and was incredibly flexible throughout the entire stay. It’s clear she genuinely cares, and her calm, attentive approach made a world of difference. We’ll definitely be using her again, she’s officially our go-to dog sitter!

FAQs for Drop-In Visits - Mount Vernon

Frequently asked questions about Rover

The average cost for Dog Sitting in Mount Vernon on Rover is $31.08 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 25,869 sitters on Rover offering Dog Sitting across Mount Vernon. 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 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.

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 Mount Vernon 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 Mount Vernon 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 Mount Vernon. On Rover:

  • 88% of sitters can help with special care needs
  • 92% can help with giving oral medications or injections
  • 95% 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.
