“Jennifer is the *purrfect* kitty sitter! She recently cared for my two senior cats and I couldn’t be happier with the experience. They liked her instantly, even if it took them a little time to fully come out of their shells—but by the end, they *loved* her! Jennifer clearly understands cats and knows how to build trust at their pace. She was reliable, communicative, and sent the sweetest photo updates while I was away. It gave me such peace of mind to know they were in such good hands. If you're looking for someone who will truly connect with your cats and care for them like her own, Jennifer is the one!”

“I was nervous because I’d never left my very skittish cat alone for a long time before, let alone with someone I didn’t know - Kristine put me right at ease with her kindness and attention to detail, and more importantly took great care of my cat! This particular cat takes a long time to warm up to most people, but took right to Kristine. I was so glad I picked her to watch my pet.”

About: Hi! I'm Chaqutia, the person behind C's Cozy Canine Club! I'm an animal lover with 12 years of pet care experience, and I genuinely enjoy getting to know each pet's unique personality, needs, and routine. I believe pets are family, and they deserve to feel safe, comfortable, and loved even when their favorite people aren't home. I have experience caring for puppies, adult dogs, and senior pets, including administering oral medications and providing extra attention to pets who need a little more patience and TLC. I also offer cat care! I currently specialize in care where your pets feel most comfortable: their own home. Whether you need overnight house sitting, a midday drop-in, or someone to take your pup on a refreshing walk, I'll make sure their routine receives the attention it deserves. You can also expect regular pictures, videos, and updates because I know how reassuring it is to see your babies happy and doing well while you're away. Beyond pet care, I'm happy to help with small household tasks such as watering plants and bringing in mail or packages upon request. I look forward to meeting you and becoming someone you and your furry family can count on! A little more about my care style: Patient, attentive, dependable, and always tailored to the individual pet. Every animal deserves to feel like family. 🐾 As a stay at home mom of two, I have a flexible daily routine that allows me to accommodate pet care visits, scheduled walks, and overnight house sitting. I enjoy incorporating pet care into my schedule and making sure each pet receives the attention, exercise, and companionship they need. I prioritize reliability and communication, so I work with pet parents to establish a schedule that fits their pets' routines and expectations. Whether it's a morning walk, an afternoon drop-in, or overnight care, I want you to feel confident knowing your pets are in caring hands. Since I specialize in in-home pet care, I focus on making sure your pets feel comfortable and secure in their own familiar environment. I follow your instructions closely, maintain established routines, and take the time to understand your pet's individual needs, personality, and any special care requirements. Safety is always a priority. I make sure doors, gates, leashes, and feeding areas are handled properly, medications are administered according to your instructions, and your home is treated with the utmost respect. I also believe communication is an important part of trust. You'll receive regular updates, pictures, and videos so you can stay connected with your pets while you're away.

“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’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.

“As new puppy owners it can obviously be nerve-wracking the first few weeks, especially when it comes time to first have someone else care for them. We had to go out one evening so we contacted Ryan to see if he was available. Ryan's communication was very responsive and he took excellent care of our puppy. Would use Ryan again.”

About: I am a quick study and am passionate about working with all sorts of animals, dogs and cats are my favorite.  I work from home and can get my work done from anywhere. I had my first cat Patches ( my calico Queen) at 10 years of age . I know that each individual animal has its own temperament preferences, and schedule. I assume nothing, but will try everything. I have the most experience with dogs and cats . . Over 18 experiences on TrustedHouseSitters. Fresh water for will always be given twice a day. It’s me and my 15 year old sweet daughter . We are usually in bed by 9 pm . As a profesional furniture mover and airbnb host & guest I have been in many homes in several cities.I have owned homes myself, and I’m well-versed in finding immediate solution and soliciting outside help if anything goes wrong inside or outside the home . Even though my outside contact will be minimal, I will ensure your home  is properly sanitized upon your return. I work from home, and I am an Early Bird. Morning walks and sometimes jogs are already embedded into my morning routine along with changing water bowls and feeding my own cats at home. My pets at home are spoiled with cuddly mornings and clean litter boxes. Up until last summer I would also be up early and walking my Belgian Malinois for a good hour. Whether it’s feeding time, play time or walking time, I treat every pet with the same love and attention I give to my Airbnb guests as a Superhost.

⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ 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 😀

Elisa did a fantastic job taking care of our cats while we were away! She gave us updates and photos daily of how they were doing. There was a situation where one cat accidentally consumed the medication meant for the other cat and she called us right away and volunteered to drop in extra to make sure that he was okay and didn’t need veterinary attention. We 100% recommend Elisa and will definitely book her again!

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%.

FAQs for Pet Sitting - Mount Vernon

Frequently asked questions about Rover

The average cost of Pet Sitting in Mount Vernon is $28 per visit as of November 2026. Most bookings cost between $23 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 27,399 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.

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.
