About: I care for dogs with real love and intention. My energy is calm, grounded, and high-vibrational, and dogs feel that. I make sure they feel safe, comfortable, and genuinely cared for. I pay attention to each dog’s personality. Some need to run and play, some just want to chill—and I’m good with both. I’m patient, present, and I don’t rush them or ignore what they need. I’m also active, so I can keep up with high-energy dogs, but I’m just as good at giving calm, steady companionship. Your dog won’t just be watched with me—they’ll be cared for like family. Pet care is a regular part of my weekly routine. I do this part-time, so I have the flexibility to really be present and give each dog proper attention. I’m reliable with my schedule and make sure the dogs I care for get my time, energy, and consistency. When I’m in a client’s home, I stick to the dog’s normal routine so they feel at ease. I follow any instructions given and make sure everything stays consistent for them. I’ll take them on walks, play with them, or just relax and give them attention—whatever they need in that moment. I also respect the home and keep things clean and calm.
About: My experience with animals goes beyond just having pets of my own! I’ve raised my cat, Khloe, since she was a newborn, cared for my boyfriend’s senior dog Gizmo (RIP), and even helped care for a family member’s puppy (Romeo) who was sick with a UTI. That meant keeping up with more frequent walks and giving the puppy extra attention throughout the week. I’ve also managed to keep three carnival goldfish (Darwin, Sayuri, and Mohawk) happy and healthy for over two years! From young pets who need supervision to senior pets who may need a gentler hand, I’ve learned every animal has different needs, but deserve the same patience consistency and love. I’m also a photographer and artist, so I LOVE catching those goofy moments that fill every pet owners phone gallery. If your pet becomes my buddy, don’t be surprised if you get an entire complimentary photo shoot! I will also be happy to clean your fur baby afterwards (yuck nyc floors) and provide poop bags, toys, treats, etc if needed! OVERNIGHT PET SITTING HOURS ARE: 7PM-8AM. DOGGY DAY CARE - ONLY IN OWNERS HOME! If you require constant care during extended stays, (I can’t leave your home for any period of time) please let me know. I’m currently in college full time. We can work together to find the best schedule 🐾 my priority is making sure the fur baby is safe, comfortable, and loved. I follow the usual feeding, walking, playtime, and rest routines as closely as possible. In your home, I’ll respect your space, keep your pet areas cleaner than you left them, and make sure they have fresh food and water.
“Onece again Angelique did an amazing job. She gives such great care to our ladies and makes sure to not just feed them but to spend time with them, brush them and give them personal attention! Highly recommended!”

“Ariana was a fantastic sitter for our babies! She came on time or even a little early and got fantastic photos and updates of the kitties and ratties. And yes, she took care of our little rodent friends, making sure they had food while we were gone for a long weekend. Would definitely recommend Ariana and would love for her to sit for us again in the future!”

About: I’ve always been the type of person who gets excited whenever I see a dog or cat! Over the past 2 years, I’ve learned that every pet has their own personality, and I love getting to know each one. Some are super playful and affectionate, while others need a little more time to warm up. I never like to rush them and always let them come to me when they’re ready. I’m naturally patient, caring, and love making animals feel comfortable around me. Whether we’re running around playing or just relaxing together, I genuinely enjoy spending time with them and treating them like they’re my own. I’m currently not working, so I have plenty of free time to spend with your furry babies! My schedule is pretty flexible throughout the week, aside from Monday and Thursday mornings. Whether it’s going on walks, playing, or just keeping them company, I have lots of time to give them the love and attention they deserve! I know being in a new environment can be overwhelming for pets, so I always give them time and space to get comfortable. I let them explore at their own pace while making sure they’re safe and supervised. I also try to stick to their usual routines so they feel as relaxed and at home as possible.
About: I had plenty of pets growing up and I take full responsibility for pets. I will care for your pets as they were family 👪 My schedule is pretty flexible and I would work around your schedule for your convenience. Let me know how I can help you 😌 ☺ I listen more than I speak. I fully understand that they're more than pet's, they're a part of the family and I fully understand that

About: I've been around animals and taken care of pets my whole life. I am here for whatever your pet's needs are. Experience with puppies to senior dogs. I am working FT, so I am available Mon - Fri in the early mornings (6 am) evenings (after 5 pm) and anytime on the weekends. I am flexible with whatever you need me to do for your pet, whether it be daily walks (time specification by owner), specific playtime or feedings, simple medications.
“Fallon was a fantastic cat sitter for our cat, Yuki. She was professional and flexible, accepting our last-minute request and handling a slight mix-up we caused with ease. She sent us daily photo updates, which made us feel completely at ease during our two-week vacation. We came home to a happy cat and highly recommend her!”

About: Hi! I’m Kris — a lifelong animal lover, experienced caregiver, and proud pet parent myself. After years working professionally as a nanny and preschool teacher, I understand how important trust, patience, and reliability are when caring for someone you love. I share my home with my rescue cat, Cosmo, who found me as a sick stray and quickly became the tiny king of the household. I have also been a shelter volunteer for many years, so I'm good with rescues and seniors. I’d love to help local families with dependable walks, check-ins, and companionship for their pets. Whether your pet loves a long stroll, a little extra playtime, or just a friendly face while you’re away, I’ll make sure they feel safe, cared for, and appreciated. I believe every pet has their own personality (and usually very strong opinions!), and I love getting to know what makes each one special. I work at a restaurant in the evenings, but I'm looking forward to dedicating my mornings/ early afternoons to caring for YOUR fur baby! I'm also available weekends and most holidays. When caring for pets, my priority is making sure they feel safe, comfortable, and loved while keeping their normal routine as consistent as possible. I'm detail-oriented and will always follow an owner's care instructions carefully. I understand the trust involved in allowing someone into your home. My years working as a nanny and preschool teacher taught me the importance of reliability, clear communication, and caring for someone’s family member exactly the way their family would want. I’m happy to provide updates, photos, and notes so you know your pet is happy and cared for while you’re away!
About: I have taken care of pets from dogs and cats to parrots and Guinea pigs. I am always respectful of the owners wants and the pets needs. I am a senior in college and have most of my classes later in the day which leaves me time in the morning and early afternoons. I have a fenced in yard as well as always ok to buy a pets favorite treats and create a safe space for them to enjoy.
“Outstanding sitter! Great communication and lots of updates! We can tell our sweet kitty was in great hands while we were away and will use Michelle again in the future!!”

About: I’ve been caring for dogs since I was 12, and over the years, taking care of animals has become something I genuinely love. My family and friends have always trusted me to care for their pups while they travel, and I treat every dog like they’re family. Whether it’s going on a long walk, playing a good game of fetch, or simply spending time with them, I love getting to know each dog’s personality and making sure they feel safe, happy, and cared for. I know how hard it can be to leave your fur baby at home while you’re at work, so my goal is to give you peace of mind while you’re gone—with plenty of love, playtime, and updates along the way. 🐶💗 Your pup won’t just be “staying” with me—they’ll be getting a little vacation of their own! 🐾 I work fully remotely, which gives me a flexible schedule and the ability to offer dog walks throughout the day, as well as on weekends. I love having the opportunity to step away from my workday, get some fresh air, and spend time with a furry friend! I’m able to be flexible with walk times and can work with your schedule and your pup’s routine. I’ll always treat your pup with the same care and attention I would give my own. During walks, I focus on making sure they get plenty of exercise, fresh air, and attention while keeping them safe and comfortable. I’m happy to follow your instructions regarding their routine, walking preferences, leash habits, and any other needs. My goal is for your dog to have a fun, safe, and stress-free experience—and for you to feel completely comfortable knowing they’re in good hands! 🐾💕
About: I’ve been working and taking care of dogs professional for 5 years now. I’m a former veterinarian assistant and have a pitbull myself whose is 13 years old now. I also love to help people out with their pets. I currently work Wednesday through Friday and I work Sundays as well. I’m Available Saturday, Monday and Tuesday. I’m available anytime of the day. Thank you I live in an apartment building, I can make a nice personal space in my home for your fur-baby. I also live near a nice park so I can take them out and play.

About: I've spent the past two years in the dog care industry, working for an all-natural dog food company where I learned firsthand how nutrition, routine, and attentive care shape a dog's health and happiness. That experience taught me to pay close attention to the small things — appetite changes, energy levels, individual quirks — that make every dog unique. Dogs have always been a huge part of my life, and my own Yorkie is my best friend. Caring for her has taught me just how much patient, loving, attentive care matters, and it's exactly what I want to bring to every dog I look after. I offer dog walking, drop-in visits, house sitting, and boarding, and I treat every dog in my care the way I'd want mine treated: with patience, consistency, and a lot of affection. Whether it's a quick walk, a weekend of boarding, or holding down the fort while you're away, I'll send photos and updates so you always know your pup is safe, comfortable, and loved. I am self-employed annd work from home so my schedule is very flexible. I take my dog on a long walk in Van Cortlandt in the morning and then usually do two more shorter walks throughout the day. I am happy to try to accommodate your schedule the best I can. I live in a pet friendly apartment in Riverdale that is right next to multiple parks. If I ever have to leave a dog in home by themselves I will always make sure calming music is playing, the place is at a comfortable temperature, and there is light.
About: I’ve always loved animals, especially cats! I have a cat of my own and have spent years caring for pets. I’ve dog-sat for many of my friends, including caring for their dogs for stays lasting several weeks or even months. I also volunteered at a cat shelter for a year, where I cared for and spent time with many different cats. I’m comfortable with feeding, walks, playtime, cleaning, giving pets attention, and making sure they feel safe and comfortable while their owners are away. I treat every pet like they’re my own and would love to take care of yours! I have a flexible schedule and can work pet care into my routine. I’m available for walks, drop-in visits, and longer stays, and I’m happy to discuss specific dates and times with each pet parent. I’m also comfortable caring for pets for extended periods when needed. I prioritize making every pet feel safe, comfortable, and cared for. I’m attentive to each pet’s routine and personality and will follow their owner’s instructions closely. I have experience caring for dogs in their homes and my own cat, as well as caring for many cats while volunteering at a shelter. I’m responsible, patient, and always make sure pets receive plenty of attention, playtime, food, and care.
About: Senior pets are my specialty. I’m a pet mom to a 16 year old diabetic senior kitty who is my world. He receives insulin twice a day so I have experience administering injections. This isn’t just a gig for me, I genuinely love animals and treat every pet like they’re my own. I’m attentive, patient, and I truly take the time to understand each pet’s routine, personality, and needs. I keep pet parents at ease by providing updated as well as maintaining open and honest communication so you’ll never have to worry about what your pet is doing. I’m currently working part time from home and have plenty of time to dedicate. My schedule is very flexible and open to same day bookings. My cats follow the same daily routine. They eat soft food twice a day and receive medications twice a day. I have 2 friendly cats whom have grown up around dogs their whole lives. I have also fostered 2 cats for a year.
“Shalyse is fantastic. She checked in our cats while we were away, and she is extremely kind, professional, responsive, communicative and thorough. She was also very flexible and accommodating when a change of plans required us to modify our booking. We will definitely request her to watch our cats again and will highly recommend her to our friends. Thank you Shalyse!”

Dog parents share their Rover experiences - Mount Vernon
⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ We are so happy and grateful to have found Mariana! She is incredibly responsible, punctual, caring, and genuinely sweet with our dog. What impressed us the most was that, even before we booked her services, she took the time to come to our home, meet us and our little one, and make sure we would all be a good fit. That thoughtful gesture showed us right away how much she truly cares about the dogs she looks after. It gives us such peace of mind knowing our little one is in such loving and trustworthy hands. Thank you, Mariana, for taking such wonderful care of our little one! We couldn’t be happier and highly recommend you to anyone looking for a reliable and caring person 😀

We love working with Jorge. He is the gold standard for professionalism and consistency. With other dog sitters (private and on platforms) we’ve seen a pattern where they are engaged at first and then trail off, but we have been working with Jorge for a long while and he has never given less than 110%. Best caregiver we have worked with for our sweet girl!

Kathryn was absolutely wonderful with our babies! 🥹 She took such great care of Amino, making sure he was checked on and had his walks, and she also checked in on Ms. Kitty while we were away. She was incredibly responsive and kept us updated with photos, which gave us so much peace of mind. Most importantly, our babies absolutely love her, and it was clear they felt comfortable and happy with her. We’re so grateful to have found someone we can trust with them and would absolutely recommend Kathryn to anyone looking for a kind, reliable, and caring sitter! ❤️

Karen is wonderful and took great care of our dog and cat, Taffy and Minnie. She was very thorough and professional and very loving towards our two. Taffy and Minnie were so happy and relaxed when we got home after four days, I’m not sure they noticed we were gone, no stress or anxiety. I can’t recommend Karen any higher, she’s great! Jennifer von M

Vicenzza showed up on time and was reliable, communicative, and caring throughout the visit. She took great care of Tucker, and I felt completely comfortable knowing he was in good hands. The whole experience was easy and stress-free. I would definitely book with her again.

She was amazing! She did everything exactly as requested, including changing the pee pads, refreshing Oreo’s water, cleaning up after him, giving him his lick mat, and spending time playing with him. She also kept everything clean and followed all of my instructions perfectly. I really appreciated the care and attention she gave Oreo, and I felt completely at ease knowing he was in good hands. I would definitely book her again and highly recommend her!

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

Frequently asked questions about Rover
The average cost of Dog Sitting in Mount Vernon is $31 per visit as of November 2026. Most bookings cost between $22 and $39 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 November 2026, there are 26,086 sitters on Rover offering Dog 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.
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 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.
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.

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 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.
