About: I've helped take care of my partners two dogs, one young and one senior dog. I absolutely love caring and playing with them whenever I am around. I am currently self-employed so I am able to flex my schedule. I am a mental health therapist so I will need a couple of days to make sure my schedule is appropriate for your pet care. In my own home, my cats are on a feeding schedule with medication. I spend lots of time petting and playing with them. I will be able to do the same in your own home. With dogs, I can take them for regular walks, play with them, and feed them accordingly. I of course, will adhere to whatever your schedule/routine for your pet is and what they are used to to make them as comfortable and happy as possible.
About: I’ve taken care of dogs of all breeds and sizes since I was 10 years old. Neighbors, friends, and family have trusted me to walk, feed, bathe, and look after their pets while they’re away. I’m comfortable with puppies, seniors, and multiple dogs at once, and I always treat them like my own. I’m currently working part-time, I’m available for boarding on weekends and for walks or drop-ins on weekdays after 2 p.m. I want to take care of your puppy! I have a fully fenced yard and two very friendly dogs to keep your pup company! I always ensure a safe and loving environment, and I can crate your dog if needed or follow any specific instructions to keep your pet happy and secure.

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.
“As a repeat client of Colleen’s I can say that she cares so much about the pets she cares for! She is always on time and spends quality time with my 16 year old cat, who loves her. Thanks so much Colleen!”

About: I have been a dog lover & owner for almost 20 years as well as professionally caring for a vast range of dogs in the Upper Westside of Manhattan for over 14 years. Rest assured that I will care & love your fur baby as I do all my own. I am currently working part time to accommodate the needs of previous clients, while I keep an open flexibility for the needs of my new clients. Please see website for additional rates regarding same day requests, private walk requests, & holidays. I have recently moved to Fleetwood and I am trying to transition my clientele from the upper west side to be more local going forward.
“Ana did a great job taking care of our kitties, even though they are super shy and hid most of the time. She went above and beyond looking for them and making sure they were safe! Absolutely will ask for her help again in the future.”

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: There hasn’t been a time in my life when I DIDN’T have a pet. Except for right now, that is. As any dog owner/lover will tell you, your dog is an important member of your immediate family. Losing a pet is comparable to losing a family member. Jake, my pit bull, passed away a little over a year ago. The grief and loss was/is hard to get over, and I’m not ready right now for another dog of my own. But I am and always will be an animal lover, and I will take very good care of YOURS! Due to COVID, I’m currently working part-time. And since I’m able to set my own hours and work schedule in this part-time job, I have the luxury and good fortune right now of a flexible and open schedule that can be adjusted at any time. I’m not currently able to care for pets out of my own home here in Yonkers, but I have a car and I am happy to travel to care for your pet at YOUR home or wherever you need me to be.
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: I’ve had my two cats for about three years now, and we’ve built a routine together around feeding, playing, sleeping, and everything in between. Every day when I walk through the door, they’re the first two to greet me. I make sure they’re always fed, clean, hydrated, well cared for, and most importantly, safe. I work full time during the week, so I’m generally unavailable during the day, but I’m usually free in the evenings after work and have full availability on weekends. I live in a two-bedroom, ground-floor apartment with a private, enclosed patio where my cats can safely explore outdoors without the risk of escaping. We also have an extra bedroom set up so they have their own space and time when they want it.
About: I grew up having dogs … Got My First Dog when I was 5 and always been around them … I’m 💯 a love dog person … Always taking Care dogs From family and friends when they are away or on vacation… been around them more than work is a pleasure… what could be more gratifying than doing what you love the most.

Dog parents share their Rover experiences - Mount Vernon
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

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.

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.
