About: I’m my friends’ go-to sitter and walker, especially when they’re in a pinch. My background in volunteer work, combined with my love for helping people, is what pushed me to giving Rover a try. I can’t think of a better way to spend my free time! I work fully remote with a very flexible schedule. I’d love to spend that extra time with your pets and keep them entertained. I love the outdoors, so going on long walks to for a group exercise session will always be in order. I give pets the attention they deserve. I’m highly capable of managing my time, where balancing my work and your pets’ needs is never a concern for me.
About: For many years I’ve looked after my family’s pets, I’ve had 3 dogs and 3 cats whom lived long and pampered lives. Neighborhood pet sitting and extended family’s trips, I was always there to look after their fur babies. I’m a full time college student with a flexible schedule looking to take care of any and all of your pets needs. Whether you want a sitter for a day or a few weeks, I can accommodate. Weekends or weekdays I can make myself available within a reasonable time slot for the occasion. Whether pets need to be crated before bed or their meals need special attention I’ll make it happen. Any specifications my client deems necessary for their furry friends is on my agenda.

About: I grew up with dogs of all kinds back in my country, Georgia. I fed and took care of many feral dogs as well as domestic. Over the last two years, I've assisted my partner in her dog walking endeavors and have learned a lot about their behaviors. I'm very strong and can make sure your dog will be safe and active with me, if needed. I have experience with different breeds including the Caucasian Shepherd, large mixes and apartment breeds. My schedule is very flexible so I have open availability at the moment. I'm looking forward to walking your pup any time, any day. I have a yard at home and a puppy and cats to keep them company. My partner is also usually home to care for them if I need to be anywhere. Whether at mine or yours, I will follow their schedule and make sure your pup is thriving.
“Melissa was personable and friendly, calm, confident, on time and fun to work with. She was so attuned to Nico (our 8 week old Maltipoo) and already taught him a new trick (sit) by the time I arrived home, which she recorded for me. We hope to have her back again and again for longer stints, including house sitting when we are on vacation. It's like having a caring sitter and experienced trainer rolled into one! Highly recommend her.”

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: Growing up with dogs, it’s always been second nature for me to nurture and care for them. I always make sure to put their needs first, and ensure their health, happiness, and safety! I work part-time Monday & Tuesdays, so I’m typically free Wednesday through Sunday. I also start late so I’m always available for an early morning walk. Currently, I can host 1 dog in my home. I live in a 1 bedroom apartment with a dog run right on the premises so they can relax indoors and run around right outside our building!
“Jorge is dependable!! I was so grateful to know he was checking up on my cat while I was on the other side of the world for a rather long trip. I will always rebook 🙏🏼”

“Elisa did a great job. She was very respectful of our home and our pets. It is very evident that she cares about animals. We will absolutely use her anytime we are in need of a pet sitter. Thank you.”

“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: A Caring Pet Lover Who Treats Every Animal Like Family 🐾 I’ve always felt a strong connection with animals. I love their different personalities and the way they can bring so much joy into our lives. I’m patient, caring, and responsible, and I always make sure pets feel safe, comfortable, and loved. I enjoy spending time with animals, whether that means going for walks, playing, giving them attention, or simply keeping them company. I’ll treat your pet with the same care and kindness I would want for my own. I’m available for pet care after 5 PM on weekdays and have open availability throughout the weekends. I’m happy to provide walks, playtime, drop-ins, and plenty of love and attention. 🐾 I provide a calm, safe, and loving environment for pets. I’ll follow your instructions carefully, keep your pet supervised, and make sure they feel comfortable and cared for while you’re away.
About: Because I’m currently on sabbatical, I’m home much more than the average sitter. This allows me to offer consistent companionship, careful supervision, and plenty of one-on-one time. I’m especially skilled at providing a calm, low-stress environment where pets can feel comfortable, safe, and genuinely loved. I’m also very attentive to routines. I take cues from each pet’s personality, energy level, and comfort, and I’m excellent at reading subtle body language—something I’ve learned from years of fostering and caring for more sensitive or shy cats. I use positive, gentle reinforcement and always prioritize your pet’s emotional well-being. Additionally, I’m a great communicator. I provide regular photo updates, respond quickly throughout the day, and make sure you always feel at ease while you’re away. My goal isn’t just to “watch” your pet—it’s to create a nurturing, cozy, and safe experience that feels like a second home. I’m currently on sabbatical after completing 10 years with my company, which means I have a wonderfully flexible schedule and plenty of time to give your pet my full attention. Caring for animals is something that genuinely brings me joy, so it fits naturally into my daily rhythm. I love starting my mornings with a peaceful walk through the large park near my apartment, and I often take a second mid-day walk to stay active. If your pet loves exploring or needs extra exercise, they’re more than welcome to join me! I also have a car, so I’m able to transport pets safely if they need to visit a vet, try a different park, or simply enjoy a change of scenery. Because I’m home most of the day, I’m able to provide consistent companionship, playtime, and supervision. I’m intentional about creating a calm, cozy environment and making sure each pet feels included in my everyday routine. I provide a warm, calm, and nurturing home where pets can feel safe and loved. I live in a cozy 1-bedroom apartment with a pet-friendly setup—cats are welcome on all furniture, and I have scratchers, toys, and comfy lounging spots throughout the space. My balcony is fully netted for safety, and I’m only a short walk from a large park, which is perfect for fresh air and enrichment. I currently have one sweet 12-year-old cat who is gentle and used to having other animals around. I’ve cared for her since she was 3 months old, and I also have experience fostering animals—including caring for kittens as young as 4 weeks old—so I’m very comfortable with cats of all ages and personalities. My care style is very warm and hands-on: lots of snuggles, couch time, play sessions, and following the routines that make your pet feel at home. I’m attentive to their body language and habits and always prioritize their comfort and emotional well-being. Safety is a top priority. I keep doors secure, monitor interactions carefully, and have an apartment camera that allows me to check in on pets if I step out briefly. I maintain a clean, clutter-free environment and am mindful about introductions and transitions. For trust and communication, I send regular photo and video updates so you always know your pet is happy and relaxed. I’m very responsive throughout the day—my only downtime is between 10pm–7am, but otherwise you can expect quick replies. My goal is to create a loving, stable, and safe home where your pet feels truly cared for. If you have any specific routines, accommodations, or preferences, I’m more than happy to follow them closely.
About: I’ve cared for dogs and cats of all sizes, ages, and temperaments. I’m attentive, gentle, and treat every pet like they’re part of my family. I've fostered and adopted animals, taken in strays since I was young, and have experience pet sitting in clients’ homes. I also worked on a horse ranch providing hippotherapy, which deepened my understanding of animal behavior and care. Animals have always been a meaningful part of my life. I'm currently working a part-time online job and have flexibility to work morning, afternoon, and night hours. Monday through Thursday are preferred days , weekends upon request. I enjoy exploring safe parks and walking paths upon the clients instructions. There is not a problem with enjoying playtime indoors as well, will try to provide some type of physical activity .

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.
“Julia was super friendly and did great with Archie! She kept us updated throughout his walk, and Archie had a great time with her. Would definitely recommend her to anyone!! ☺️”

“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.”

“We booked Rachael for drop in visits 2x/day for our 2 kitties. She followed all instructions and took a few pics for each report card including their food bowls which was very much appreciated. Hopefully she is available for our next trip, we would happily book her again. Thank you Rachael!”

About: I've had animals since I was born: dogs, cats, a bird, a snake, rabbit, hamsters, fish and some other reptiles. While I was born and raised in LA, I just spent the last 3 years living on a ranch in rural Florida with a horse, chickens, emus, dogs and cats. So I'm a big animal lover! I have a cattle dog of my own (very hyperactive) that I recently adopted. She was a stray and has some reactive tendencies. I am very comfortable around dogs with high energy (puppies are great - mine is 9 months old) or dogs with trauma. Dogs are so sensitive to human energy and so I make sure to be supportive and make them feel comfortable around me. I'll make sure to give your pup tons of TLC and ensure they stay properly hydrated and fed. For house sits, I'm happy to water plants, collect mail, and ensure the house stays clean. I'm currently freely available and happy to accommodate your schedule. I will clearly communicate when I will arrive (I hate lateness) and will give you an update of our walk with photos and text! I'm happy to do other things as needed, such as feeding them or administering medication. I don't feel comfortable doing injections though! If your dog is high energy, reactive or aggressive, I would be happy to accommodate his or her tendencies! I love playing with animals and studying them psychologically to create the most comfortable environment for their needs. Please let me know if your pet requires any particular medication, potty break schedules, oral medication or requires feeding in a particular way. I would be happy to accommodate.
About: Growing up with three dogs has given me a deep understanding of the needs and behaviors of both young and senior dogs. Over the years, I’ve cared for dogs of all ages and temperaments, ensuring they receive the attention and care they deserve. I also have experience looking after cats—feeding, cleaning litter boxes, and spending quality time playing and bonding with them. In middle and high school, I regularly walked and cared for my neighbors’ dogs, which helped me develop a strong foundation in providing reliable pet care. Whether it’s going on a walk, offering companionship, or ensuring pets are safe and comfortable while their owners are away, I absolutely love spending time with animals and providing them with the care they need. I’m excited to bring my passion for animals and my experience to help your pets feel happy, healthy, and loved! I have time to house sit overnight or come take your pets out for walks or come to play with them/feed them whenever you need! Typically, I would take my dogs out for walks, play with them, bathe them, feed them their pills (if necessary). I would also make sure they don't get too hot (especially now that we are getting into the summer months. I try to make sure to take my pets on long walks and give them a good opportunity to get outside, but if it is too hot I am careful to bring them back inside.

Dog parents share their Rover experiences - New Rochelle
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! ❤️

Kameryn exceeded our expectations! She was thoughtful responsible and on time for all visits. Bayley is usually completely shut down when we go away and leave her with a dog sitter. This time we had Kameryn come to our home and she saw Bayley twice daily and we see the happiest girl now. We are so happy to see she loved Kameryn!! We would definately use her again!!

We had an excellent experience with Yachen and her husband. We needed someone last minute to pop in, feed, walk and hang out with our dog while we were at a wedding. They made themselves available and even came beforehand for a quick meet and greet. Rico is a little protective when someone new first walks in and they were very patient with him. He loved his walk and they sent lots of pictures. Thank you so much Yachen!

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!

Skye is absolutely amazing ! She is so calm and attentive to my very odd and anxious silver lab. We always feel comfortable and at ease when she is with him. She doesn't mind a million details about our Rhodey, and he absolutely adores her! He is calm and happy around her and loves his walks with her :)

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 New Rochelle 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.

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.
