About: As a devoted dog mom and lifelong animal lover, I treat every pet like they’re my own. What sets me apart is the patience, attention to detail, and genuine love I bring to every visit. I’m comfortable caring for puppies, seniors, and pets who need a little extra patience and attention. I’m happy to follow feeding routines, medications, walks, playtime, and all the little things that help your pet feel safe and comfortable while you’re away. Your pet’s happiness and well being always come first, and I’ll keep you updated with photos and messages so you can have peace of mind anytime. 🩷 Pet care naturally fits into my daily routine because animals are already a big part of my life. As a dog mom, I’m used to structured feeding, walks, playtime, cleanup, and giving pets plenty of attention throughout the day. I genuinely enjoy spending time with animals, so caring for your pet never feels like just a job it’s something I love doing. 🐾 I care for pets in their home by keeping their routine as familiar and comfortable as possible. I follow your instructions for meals, walks, playtime, medication, and bedtime, while giving them plenty of love and attention. I also keep their space clean, refresh food and water, and make sure they feel safe and cared for while you’re away.
“We had an outstanding experience with Victoria! She took exceptional care of our two dogs, ensuring they were happy and well-attended to. Her responsiveness and frequent updates, complete with lots of pictures, kept us reassured throughout the day. She showered them with love and attention, took them on long walks, and even brought them to the dog park. Our dogs had an incredibly fun and fulfilling day with her. Highly recommended!”
“Kamryn was wonderful! She came over before the stay to meet our pups. She arrived on time for an early start at 7am and stayed the night. We got many pictures and videos throughout her stay so we knew that the dogs were going to the bathroom, eating, cuddling, and sleeping. Thank you, Kamryn!”
“Tenielle watched our 3 dogs, who can be a handful. One older grumpy dog and 2 young high energy working dogs. She was fantastic with them all. She also has excellent communication and is prompt and informative with picture updates. Will definitely be using 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.”
“Melissa was wonderful with our dog and cat! Our dog can be pretty anxious, but she was so comfortable around Melissa! She provided lots of updates and was super clean and tidy. Would definitely recommend!”
“Kameryn was absolutely amazing! She came over to do our meet and greet and was so easy going when she met our boys, who are super energetic! She asked a ton of questions, that even I hadn’t thought about. When asked about her dog experience, I was comforted in knowing she had experience with larger dogs as mine are two 62# hounds with tons of energy! She came over as agreed and immediately went to work taking care of the dogs, playing, feeding and even working with them on their training commands. She kept us updated with tons of photos and to my pleasant surprise, she gave us an end of day summary of how the day went. She was very considerate with keeping us updated if she had to leave and even with minimizing the communications, if needed. This was the first time I had left our dogs with someone and not had to really worry how they were doing and if they were being treated well. They absolutely loved her! If you’re looking for someone to take care of your babies, I highly recommend hiring Kameryn! She is an absolute angel and truly a God-send! Will definitely be hiring her again!”
“Jorge was great during a recent 6-night stay with our two dogs! He was very responsive and shared helpful photos and updates throughout the visit. Our dogs loved him and we look forward to working with him again soon.”
About: I’ve cared for dogs my whole life and developed a sense of understanding a dogs behavior and body language. Friends and family have always rely on me because they know I am great at meeting a dogs needs and dependable when needed. I am home several days of the week and have time for walks, playtime, and belly rubs. I’m also available on the weekends where I can provide consistent check ins, and walks. I will care for every pet as if they were my own whether they’re in my home or in yours I will make sure they feel safe, comfortable.
“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.”
“Had a very good experience with Ruth. She is kind and great with pets. My timid and grieving dog was very happy when I came home. I’m sure she took great care of her.”
About: I have cared for dogs pretty much all my life. Now with a dog park in my building the dogs can exercise, play, and potty breaks are more fun than ever! I am an ex-pat Brit and retired Environmental Lawyer, now with my own part-time Design business. I work remotely with a flexible schedule, so there is always enough time and love to give!!! I will always seek to connect and understand you and your pet and how best to communicate. This guides our play, instructions, exercise and modes of encouragement and affection. My home is clean and uncluttered, which limits any unforseen accidents! Plentiful toys and healthy treats ensure safety and healthy engagement!
“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!!”
“Cecilia was the best! She showed lots of patience with my dog, Jojo, and she never hesitated to ask questions. I also really appreciate how often Cecilia would communicate via text. Good updates and even better pictures!”

About: Hi! I’m Lupe! I am an EMT who loves animals. I am constantly around animals. I have a tuxedo cat named Luna. Shes the cutest and most wild cat ever. I am comfortable around all animals and I am willing to adapt to the needs of your pet! When I come to take care or walk your pet, I will also dedicate to showing them some love. I’m currently working part-time, so I will have much time to spend time with your pets. I have time during the end of week and weekend! I have a medium sized yard, that could be excellent for running and playing catch! I also love to walk around the neighborhood and explore new places!
About: My love of dogs led me to start a dog walking business when I was only 10 yrs old. Once I finally convinced my parents to get a dog, I was 15 and we ended up with two bichon-malteses who were the loves of my life. As an adult, my career has me traveling frequently so I haven’t become a pet owner, but I continue to dogsit for friends and neighbors because I love the companionship when I’m home. I am committed to providing your dog a comfortable home away from home where they will be well cared for and loved. I work from home Mondays and Fridays so can be available for care for a long weekend (Fri-Sat-Sun-Mon). My availability may be limited based on work travel. I live in a dog friendly building, where there is greenery and walking paths around the building for daily walks and enjoy going for longer walks in nearby parks.
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.
The median cost per night for house sitting in New Rochelle is $60
Pet parents share their Rover experiences - New Rochelle
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!
We have used Gabriela’s services prior to this time. She continues to make us feel relaxed when we are away knowing our Jax in good hands. She has a caring, thoughtful and gentle mannerism which is good for Jax. He is in his senior years so gentleness is key for his well being. Gabriela is a responsible sitter and took very good care of our home. I would strongly recommend using her services.

FAQs for House Sitting - New Rochelle
Frequently asked questions about Rover
The average cost for House Sitting in New Rochelle on Rover is $72.15 per night (as of September 2026). However, all sitters set their own rates based on experience, location, and availability.
Rover makes budgeting the cost of House Sitting easy. As long as your dates and pet profiles are correct, the price you see before you book is the same price you pay for House Sitting. For more information on service fees, click here .
As of September 2026, there are 18,982 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 short introductory meeting between you, your pet, 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.
Sitters on Rover set their own cancellation policy, which you can find on their profile under their calendar availability.
Cancelling before a booking begins and before the sitter's cutoff time qualifies you for a full refund. Same-day cancellations for walks, day care, and drop-ins follow the full refund policy. Otherwise, for dog boarding and house sitting, you will receive a 50% refund for the first seven days of the booking and a 100% refund for the remaining days when you cancel the same day a booking should begin.
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.
Yes, you can find sitters who have experience with handling special pet needs in New Rochelle. On Rover:
- 89% of sitters can help with special care needs
- 93% can help with giving oral medications or injections
- 97% 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.
