About: I’m a college student with 4 years experience who loves dogs, enjoys spending time playing with them, and really likes meeting and caring for new dogs whenever I get the chance. I have experience caring for dogs and puppies through helping family members with their pets, including feeding, walking, playtime, and providing loving, reliable care to keep pets safe, happy, comfortable, and well cared for.” I follow a daily schedule to care for my cats, including feeding them in the morning and evening, cleaning litter boxes regularly, providing fresh water, and spending time playing and bonding with them throughout the day. I provide a safe, trustworthy, and comfortable environment for pets by following their routine closely, ensuring their space is clean and secure, giving them fresh food and water, and offering gentle, attentive care and companionship.

Karen is the absolute best pet sitter. She has taken care of our two cats for a few years off and on -including a time we were away a few months. She is always reliable and always trustworthy. She goes above and beyond to help me feel at ease while we’re away. Both of my cats love her and are so happy to see her. I highly recommend Karen. We are lucky to have found her.

About: I have experience caring for three dogs. One was named Maia, an Australian Shepherd who belonged to my aunt. She was very energetic, and I spent a lot of time playing with her. I also cared for a German Shepherd named Rex. Although he was calmer, I played with him frequently as well. The third was Mango, a very small puppy with lots of energy. I fed all three dogs the appropriate amount of food based on their weight and at their scheduled feeding times. I also took them to the park regularly, although I took Mango less often because he was still a puppy. I am available to work on weekdays from 10:00 AM to 5:00 PM, and I can also start as early as 8:00 AM when needed. During that time, I am happy to care for your pet by providing walks, feeding, playtime, companionship, and ensuring they are safe, comfortable, and well cared for throughout the day. If the visits involve feeding, I would stay with the pets to play, keep them company, and give them a little extra affection before leaving the owner's home—naturally, always within the limits and guidelines provided to me. As for walks, I would make sure to bring everything necessary to ensure the pet feels comfortable and has a good, playful time.

About: I've had my dog his whole life (17 years) but I've actually been a caretaker for my entire life. I'm the eldest sibling, first grandchild, therefore the oldest of all of my cousins & I have babysat all of them (and their pets) through all stages of young life. I'm used to taking care of animals & kids. I used to volunteer at an animal shelter as a kid in Pennsylvania, and thus far there isn't a single animal that I've come to contact that I don't like! These days, I do a lot of pet & house sitting for my artist friends and family (ranging from just a walk a day to over a week of living with their pets.) I have experience with older animals with medical needs, and I've even taken over for friends who were pet sitting themselves but couldn't handle the difficulties of living in a small space with a large teething puppy. A couple of years ago (right before the pandemic) one of my favorite neighborhood cats brought my to her newborn kittens, and I took it upon myself to feed & house her & the babies until they were ready for adoption (and they're all safe and happy with their individual families). Even the mom eventually got spayed & adopted. I'm a freelance artist, so my schedule varies from week to week. At the moment, I have a lot of freedom, so I'm prepared to take on whatever service(s) are needed of me. I follow instructions very well & always leave homes cleaner than how I entered them. In the past, I've created lists on my phone with furbaby's routines & needs (medical details with images included as an added measure,) as well as sending pictures/videos to their owners while they're out.

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: With over 10 years of pet sitting experience, our home has become a second home for countless furry friends. What started as a fun activity with my young son has grown into a true passion we continue to share. Now a spirited teenager, my son still brings the same energy and love to every pet we care for—ensuring each one gets plenty of attention, playtime, and cuddles. We live in a private apartment in a family-owned three-family house in Lower Westchester. Our home is clean, spacious, and pet-friendly, with a private deck and a small backyard perfect for fresh air and play. We’re also just a short walk from the beautifully updated Yonkers waterfront, where your pet will enjoy scenic strolls and outdoor fun. You won’t find a more dog-loving duo. Whether your pet is high-energy or prefers laid-back lounging, we’re happy to tailor our care to their unique needs and personality. We truly love what we do—and it shows. Feel free to reach out with any questions. We can’t wait to welcome your pet into our home! Pet care is a natural part of our daily routine. Since we’ve been pet sitting for over a decade, we’ve built our schedule around giving pets the attention and care they deserve. Morning and evening walks are part of our daily rhythm, and we make time throughout the day for play, feeding, and cuddle sessions. My teenage son is very involved—he loves helping with walks, playtime, and making sure each pet feels right at home. Whether we have one guest or a few, they’re always integrated into our family life with love and consistency. In our home, pets are treated like family. We provide a safe, clean, and loving environment where they can relax and be themselves. They have access to cozy spaces indoors, a private deck for fresh air, and a small backyard for outdoor time. We stick closely to each pet’s routine—whether it’s feeding schedules, medication, or special care instructions—to ensure a smooth and stress-free stay. When caring for pets in a client’s home, I’m respectful of their space and routines. I make sure pets feel comfortable and secure, keeping things as familiar as possible. Whether it’s walks, playtime, or quiet companionship, I adapt to their individual needs while maintaining communication with the owner for peace of mind.

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!

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! 🐕💛 ——————————- Standard Daycare: Standard daycare covers up to 10 hours between 8:00 AM and 7:00 PM (8 am if you drop off, 9-10 am if I pick up from home) Extended Care: Drop-offs before 8:00 AM or pick-ups after 7:00 PM are welcome when my schedule allows and will incur an additional $10 per hour (or portion thereof). Overnight Care: Any pick-up scheduled after 8:00 PM will automatically be converted to my standard boarding rate, as it requires overnight care and accommodations. 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 spent my life with dogs and grew up taking care, playing, nurturing, and training dogs for as long as I can remember. Their place in the family is just as strong as any family member, and I love to give them the dedicated attention they deserve! Available any day of the week for services provided! As a freelancer, I spend a lot of time at home and have a completely flexible schedule. I am available any day of the week to execute any experience needed. Have flexible time on my hands allows me to give your 4 legged best friend all the time they'd need to play, walk, and be given special attention. I live in a great part of town that has a lot of safe, walking pathways as well as a fenced backyard. There are no other pets or children in the home so your pet will have a 5-star experience dedicated solely to them. During my experience with dog sitting and dog walking, I prefer to give each pet their own 1-on-1 dedicated time. I find this builds a better level of trust between myself and your loving pet.

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

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
  • 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.

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.
