“Victoria did a great job of looking over my two dogs and cat for a week trip! She left the apartment and dogs in a great condition and was very responsive as well as providing great updates. I would highly recommend.”
“Tenielle was reliable, warm, great with the pups, and excellent when it came to communicating any questions or concerns we had. She stayed with our two labradoodles, one of whom is rather mischievous, and we found no chewed socks, paper, etc... when we returned home. She followed our instructions to the "T". We would definitely use her again.”
“Lori was dependable and reliable. She stayed at my house and took great care of our dog Sammy. She is truely an animal lover. She sent photos and texts during her stay updating me on Sammy's care. She left my house immaculate. I would highly recommend her.”
“Kimberly was great! She stayed over our house during Christmas Eve and Christmas and sent photos throughout her stay. Our place was left very clean and our dogs were well taken care of. I will definitely use her in the future!”
About: I have taken care of Senior dogs, high energy dogs, oral medicine administration, training experience and have done Puppy care. Practice leash walking if I see it's needed. I'm currently volunteering part time at the Animal Shelter and walk dogs part time. My schedule is pretty flexible and can help out whenever needed. I provide a warm, loving, calm and peaceful environment in my home. There are no pets living in my home which is helpful for pets whenever they come in my home. Creates a comfortable and stress-free atmosphere for them.
“Jenna was an amazing sitter for our dog Zeke and our house! We were gone for two weeks and Jenna made sure to keep in touch and send pics throughout that time. Her authentic affection for dogs was so clear from the first meeting. We’d absolutely book Jenna again!!”
About: I’ve long been the go-to sitter for friends and family, trusted to care for pets of all sizes and personalities as if they were my own. Growing up with dogs, cats, guinea pigs, hamsters, and fish, I developed a natural connection to animals and an appreciation for their unique traits. With a background in management consulting and supporting ultra-high-net-worth families, I bring a polished, organized, and reliable approach to every sit. I value calm, well-kept spaces and believe pets thrive in environments that feel intentional and nurturing. While I don’t currently have pets of my own, I tend a thriving indoor plant collection and would be delighted to care for yours—pets and plants alike. With 10+ years of experience, I was able to jump right in on another home and pet sitting platform and earn multiple repeat clients. Although I’m newer to Rover, let’s connect and I’ll make sure you’re comfortable - ask as many questions as you’d like! I work remotely in the arts which gives me the flexibility to make your pets and home my top priority. I’m comfortable with pets of all ages and health and have experience administering medications. At home, I share space with a 3 year old little betta fish who swims among clippings from my thriving plants. My green thumb is well-established—I’ve worked as both a florist and a gardener, and I maintain a lush collection of houseplants. Working in corporate America prepared me well with organization skills and the ability to prepare for any circumstance. I’ve managed global projects in multiple time zones and do whatever it takes to make sure everything is done right and safely. Having been a home owner, I understand the importance of safety and triaging anything regarding the integrity of the home. I make sure I have all contacts prior to any stay and understand what you’d like me to do.
“Hannah watched over my 10-wk old puppy part time for 3 days. She asked to meet ahead of puppy sitting to understand the routine. She was very punctual, reliable, and was also sweet, snuggled with the puppy. I was glad to learn she is local, so I plan to book again in the future.”
About: Dearest Pet owners, My name is Annabelle and I have had a passion for animals since I was 6, and specifically for dogs. My aunt runs The Good Dog Foundation, hence I have been fortunate enough, since a young age, to deal with all breeds of dogs, rescued or bought, obedient or less; and so forth. I feel I have a special connection to dogs, in particular. I most definitely spend more time with dogs than humans. I talk to my dogs, walk with them, run with them, go to the country house and go on hikes with them. I strongly believe in being outside as much as possible, and feeding my dogs the most healthy food. I do also believe in sharing my surroundings with them, meaning i let my dogs go on my bed, and sofa. Though no begging at the table is allowed, and I have fix hours they are fed, I believe in routine. They are like children. They need a lot of love. This is what I will be providing for your dog. Sincerely, Annabelle P.
“Jackson was absolutely fantastic as a sitter for Rufus. Incredibly polite, a calm and kind demeanour and really communicative - Jackson sent us some updates whilst we were away to show how Rufus was getting on. We would thoroughly recommend Jackson for dog sitting - he is very knowledgeable about dogs and Rufus definitely relaxed in his company. Jackson is extremely trustworthy too and thoughtful - he asked plenty of additional questions about what Rufus likes and dislikes. Thank you Jackson we will definitely use you again to look after Rufus!”
About: I have had pets (dogs and cats) for all of my life and I really enjoy taking care of them. I have cared professionally animals over the past few years, and I look forward to hosting more! Currently I live alone, but I used to live with both a dog and two cats, so I thoroughly understand what is necessary for taking care of either. I live close to a couple of parks, and my neighborhood is very safe to walk around. Through this app, I want to gain more professional experience caring for pets as well as getting to know your pets’ different personalities. I do not currently have an animal of my own, so hosting your animal(s) will bring me great joy. I have flexible availability and look forward to taking care of your wonderful pets! Feel free to message me if you have any questions or comments! I currently work remotely, so I have ample time to spend taking care of your pets. Essentially, I would be able to take your dog out at least 3 times a day and more if needed. I am also completely home on the weekends, so I would absolutely have more time to spend with your beloved pets. I do daily morning, afternoon, and night walks to ensure that your dog can be relieved at a reasonable time. I dedicate time to stimulate and relax your dog as appropriate. I think mental stimulation is extremely important especially for high energy breeds.
About: I have hands on experience caring for dogs and understand the responsibility that comes with taking care of someone’s beloved pet. I’m experienced with following their regular feeding routines, providing fresh water, taking dogs on walks, giving them bathroom breaks, playing with them, and making sure they have a safe and comfortable environment. I’ve cared for dogs with different personalities and energy levels, and I take the time to learn their individual routines and needs. I’m also attentive to their behavior and make sure they receive plenty of exercise, companionship, affection, and supervision throughout the day. I take pride in being dependable and treating every dog in my care with patience, respect, and the same level of love and attention I would want someone to give my own pets. I’m available for boarding on weekends and on weekdays after 5 PM. If that works with your schedule, I’d be happy to care for your furry family members and make sure they feel comfortable, loved, and right at home while you’re away. I have a fully fenced backyard with plenty of space for your pet to play, relax, and enjoy some fresh air. I also live near a local park, making it easy to take your furry friend on enjoyable walks and give them the exercise and attention they deserve. I want every pet in my care to feel comfortable, happy, and right at home.
About: I have grown up with dogs and cats (and a few fish, turtles, a bunny, two goats...) have volunteered to care for dogs, and have pet-sitted for a few friends! I love every furry (or even non-furry!) being, big or small. My family currently has 4 dogs, and while I was back for college when we first got Tommy, our oldest, I would take care of him every day, playing around and feeding him as a small puppy, as my mom left for work and errands. Our dogs are now grown, and it's been beautiful being able to spend time and play with them. I have taken care of cats as well, especially my friend's, and I take being safe, precise, and clean seriously! I currently have a part-time job and several events going on, so I will try to keep my calendar as up to date as possible, but my schedule will change weekly. I typically should be available after 6:30 PM on days that I work, but please feel free to check with me for availability! I would also be happy to stay with a pet for an extended time. Unfortunately, my car is not very economical, so I do have to take distance into account. Unfortunately, I cannot host any pets as I don't yet have a place of my own. However, I am perfectly comfortable with visiting and staying with pets over extended lengths of time! I like to keep a close watch, play, and cuddle, but I also respect any pet that needs their space or alone time. Pets, especially dogs, feel like small children to me, and I take their well-being seriously.
About: I have always been an animal lover. I have my own fur baby who I love dearly. I have taken care of my friends and families pets since I treat them as my own. I work from home full-time which allows me to give your fur baby all the attention he or she needs. Because my schedule is flexible this will allow me to be easily accessible to my clients. I will give your fur baby a safe haven. I have a crate and playpen, plenty of toys and treats and anything your fur baby may need.
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! I’m currently in college full time, with Mondays and Wednesday’s being my most unavailable days. Tuesday,Thursday,Friday, and weekends are my best days. I have classes Tues-Thurs from 10:45-12pm, and periodically have classes on Thursday from 3:05 to 5:45. This is my last semester, so I will be graduating soon. We can work together to find the best schedule 🐾 Whether it is in my home or yours, 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.
About: As a full-time teacher and lifelong dog lover, I’ve spent years caring for dogs of all sizes and personalities. Friends, family, and coworkers often rely on me to board their pets, knowing they’ll be loved and well cared for while they’re away. I’m patient, responsible, and passionate about making sure each dog feels safe, happy, and at home. Whether your pup enjoys long walks, playtime, or cuddles, I’ll treat them like part of my family. I work full-time as a teacher, but I’m available for boarding on weekends, holidays, and school breaks. I dedicate my free time to caring for pets and make sure every dog gets plenty of love, attention, and outdoor time when staying with me. As a full-time teacher and lifelong animal lover, I’ve cared for dogs and cats my entire life. Friends, family, and coworkers often trust me to board their dogs or check in on their pets when they’re away. I recently rescued two kittens, adding to my experience caring for pets with different personalities and needs. I’m patient, responsible, and truly enjoy giving every pet the love and attention they deserve. Whether your pup needs playtime and long walks or your cat just needs a friendly visit, I’ll treat them like family. I offer a calm, loving home environment where your dog can feel safe and relaxed. I follow each pet’s normal routine and keep you updated with photos and messages while you’re away. While I can’t board cats, I’m happy to care for them in their own home—making sure they’re fed, comfortable, and given plenty of affection. Your pets’ happiness and safety are always my top priorities
“Fernanda homesat our dog for three days and she was amazing. She sent me lots of pictures and videos. I was able to relax because I knew my dog was in good hands. I really can't think of anything that could have been better. ❤️”
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.
The median cost per night for house sitting in New Rochelle is €60
Pet parents share their Rover experiences - New Rochelle
Lori was very attentive and communicative when taking care of my dog, Pepper. I was away for a whole week and Lori always kept me updated on Pepper. Pepper has a heart condition and requires medication every 12 hours and Lori was able to successfully administer her medication when needed. Lori stayed in my home with Pepper and was very respectful of my space and left it in wonderful condition as well! Thank you Lori :)
Nora was incredible when she stayed with our little dog, Fennec, for two weeks. She was so patient and understanding of his separation anxiety and really went above and beyond to build trust with him and help him feel comfortable. She also calmed our anxieties as nervous pet parents who felt guilty about leaving our baby behind! She sent us daily updates (often more than once per day), and it quickly became clear that our little guy loved being with her. She also took great care of our home — pretty sure she left it cleaner than we did! Can’t recommend Nora enough. We feel so so so lucky to have found her!!!
Rochelle was absolutely wonderful, and we couldn’t have asked for a better dogsitter. She came by before the sitting to meet us, get familiar with our pets, and learn her way around the house. Since we weren’t home, we arranged her arrival in advance, and everything worked perfectly. She was completely comfortable finding her way around the house and handled all of our pets with confidence and care. It was clear from the start that Rochelle is responsible, professional, and genuinely loves animals. She took excellent care of our pets, kept everything in order, and somehow even left the house looking nicer than when she arrived! We can highly recommend Rochelle. Her friendly nature, professionalism, reliability, and the wonderful care she gave our pets gave us complete peace of mind while we were away. We would absolutely have her sit for us again!
Natalie was wonderful! I left Piper with her for the day and couldn’t have asked for a better sitter. She was so kind, punctual, and incredibly helpful when I was in a last-minute bind. She responded quickly, even came to pick Piper up and drop her back off at my house, and kept me updated throughout the day with photos and videos. I felt completely comfortable knowing Piper was in such good hands. 10/10 would recommend Natalie, and I’ll definitely be keeping her in mind for future sittings!
Karen was fantastic! She took great care of our 4-year old mini Goldendoodle for two weeks with tremendous patience and insight. He’s not the easiest dog, and Karen was very good with him and sensitive to his reoccurring IVDD. As a dog trainer, she worked on his commands and we have noticed an improvement in his behavior. She showed us the strategies she uses to help with his reactivity as well as his resource guarding. She truly cared about our dog. We hope to use Karen again in the future to take care of our pooch. I highly recommend Karen as a dog sitter and trainer!
Christian was great with our pup! He stayed with her for most of the time we we're gone and was really flexible with the arrangements. He came by a week prior to get to know our dog and understand her routines. Our dog immediately liked him and felt comfortable around him which was a great sign. While he was watching her, Christian walked her and kept her company. He provided periodic updates with photos and we felt comfortable knowing he was there with her. Thank you Christian!
Kameryn is wonderful, the whole package - responsible, professional, caring, and thorough. I trust her completely. Our senior dog was a few weeks posh orthopedic surgery. Though fully healed, he’s still not back to his normal self 100% so needless to say we were nervous to leave him on our already planned vacation. Kameryn’s care allowed us to enjoy our time away- navigating his “special needs” and instructions, meds, and even a broken toe nail that occurred (bloody mess!)— all seamlessly. She not only followed all our instructions but also intelligently problem solved when needed. Kameryn sent daily updates and kept us well informed. Like many, our dog is our first baby and growing old— it made me anxious to leave him but I didn’t worry because he was in such good hands. I highly recommend and will be using Kameryn again!

FAQs for House Sitting - New Rochelle
Frequently asked questions about Rover
The average cost of House Sitting in New Rochelle is $72 per night as of October 2026. Most bookings cost between $39 and $152 per night. 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 October 2026, there are 18,895 sitters on Rover offering House Sitting across New Rochelle. Enter your ZIP code to see which available sitters are closest to your home.
Beyond belly rubs and feeding schedules, a house sitter’s presence may provide an additional layer of security for your home. However, you will need to arrange overnight stays and other household tasks with your sitter when reaching out to them. Not all sitters offer the same services. Common household tasks you can negotiate include:
- Mail & deliveries: Collecting letters and packages so they don't pile up.
- Plant care: Keeping your indoor or outdoor garden hydrated.
- Trash & recycling: Taking trash cans to the curb on scheduled pickup days.
- Home security: Sitters can stay overnight to keep your home occupied.
The best way to align on expectations is during your free Meet & Greet. Use this time to provide a "home cheat sheet" that includes your preferred New Rochelle walking routes, the location of your favorite pet store, and any specific quirks about your home’s security or appliances.
It’s helpful to think of house sitting as a "home base" service. Most sitters in New Rochelle maintain their normal daily routines, like running errands or heading to the office, meaning your pet should be comfortable being alone for a few hours at a time. If your pet needs a little extra company, here is how to find the perfect match:
- Look for "WFH" sitters: Many sitters mention "Work from Home" on their profile to indicate they’ll be present for the majority of the day.
- Update your pet’s profile: Write down how long your pet can comfortably be left alone. This helps sitters quickly determine if their schedule aligns with your needs.
- Communicate 24/7 needs: Standard house sitting usually doesn't include constant supervision. If your pet requires round-the-clock care, be sure to discuss this upfront.
Tip: Use the Meet & Greet to confirm a sitter's typical "away" windows. Transparency ensures your pet stays happy and your sitter can plan their day effectively!
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!
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.
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.
If a health concern arises during a stay, your sitter is instructed to contact you and our Trust & Safety team immediately and, if needed, take your pet to the closest veterinarian. Through our Trust & Safety support team, sitters can ask for diagnostic advice from a qualified veterinary professional if your pet is showing signs of possible illness.
For extra peace of mind, you can also prepare an authorization form for your regular vet. An authorization form outlines your preferred method of care and allows your sitter to bring your pet into their regular clinic.
Every qualified booking made on Rover is backed by the Rover Guarantee, which includes reimbursement for eligible emergency vet care.
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.
Yes, you can find sitters who have experience with handling special pet needs in New Rochelle. On Rover:
- 85% of sitters can help with special care needs
- 89% can help with giving oral medications or injections
- 95% 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.
