About: Hello! I’ve been in the pet care industry for 3 years professionally, and almost my whole life personally through friends and family. I’m an animal lover, and I’m ready to meet some new friends! I used to service dogs in East Midtown and have experience with many breeds and temperaments. I also own cats and have worked professionally as a cat sitter in Chelsea/Downtown. I recently moved to the area and can offer walks, sittings, and boarding. We can set up a free meet and greet to see how we can work together to help your companion thrive. I work 10am through 6pm Monday-Friday for walks, extra charge for anything outside of that time frame and weekends/holidays. Inquire about sittings/boardings. Safety is always my priority when it comes to any sort of service. I follow any given instructions and communicate with the parents if I have any questions/concerns. I’m also CPR certified.

About: Welcome to London Elite Pet Care 🐾🤍 For me, pet care has never been simply a job. It has become something very special that my son, Ezekiel, and I share together. I’m a mom living with my young son in New Rochelle, and together we’ve created a warm, peaceful home where the pets I care for are welcomed like part of our little family. 🤍 One of the things that sets my care apart is that I intentionally keep the number of pets I accept at one time very limited. I prefer quality over quantity. I want every dog or cat staying with us to receive genuine attention, affection, companionship, and individualized care — never to feel like just another booking. Every pet has their own personality. Some want to play and explore all day, while others simply want a cozy place to nap and someone nearby to make them feel safe. I take the time to learn their routines, personalities, favorite activities, feeding schedules, and little habits so I can make their stay feel as familiar and comfortable as possible. My son Ezekiel is also a wonderful little animal lover. 🐾 He enjoys reading stories to our furry guests, talking to them, playing with them, and giving them lots of affection. Some of the sweetest moments are seeing a shy pet slowly become comfortable enough to curl up beside us or watching an energetic pup find the perfect little playmate in Ezekiel. All interactions are always supervised by me, and I remain fully responsible for every pet in my care. Whether I’m providing a walk, a drop-in visit, daycare, or an overnight stay, safety and reliability always come first. I carefully follow your pet’s normal routine and instructions, and I love sending plenty of photos and updates so you never have to wonder how your furry family member is doing. 📸🐶🐱 My goal is simple: when you leave your pet with me, I want you to feel at peace. And when your pet comes back, I want them to feel like they just spent time in their second home. Thank you for trusting my little family with yours. 🤍🐾 We would truly love to welcome your furry family member into our home. Pet care is a natural part of our everyday routine. 🐾🤍 I organize my schedule around the pets in my care so they receive plenty of attention, companionship, walks, playtime, and rest throughout the day. I intentionally keep my bookings limited because I prefer providing personal, one-on-one care rather than having a house full of pets. This also gives me the flexibility to follow each pet’s usual feeding, walking, potty, and bedtime routine as closely as possible. My son and I enjoy incorporating our furry guests into our day — from morning walks and outdoor time to playtime, cuddles, and relaxing together at home. 🏡 For daycare and overnight stays, I plan my schedule in advance around each booking so your pet is never treated like just another reservation. My goal is to give them the time, attention, and loving home environment I would want for my own pet. 🤍🐾 Your pet’s safety and comfort are always my first priority. 🤍🐾 I provide care in a peaceful, loving home in New Rochelle where I live with my young son, Ezekiel. I intentionally keep the number of pets I care for at one time very limited, allowing me to closely supervise them and give each pet the individual attention they deserve. I carefully follow feeding schedules, medications, walking routines, potty schedules, and any special instructions you provide. I also take time to understand each pet’s personality, boundaries, and what helps them feel safe and comfortable. My son has grown up around the pets in my care and understands the importance of being gentle and respectful with animals. All interactions with him are supervised by me, and I remain fully responsible for your pet at all times. I also provide frequent photos and updates because I know how important it is to feel connected to your pet while you’re away. 📸 My goal is for you to leave feeling confident that your furry family member is safe, loved, supervised, and receiving plenty of personal attention.

About: Senior pets are my specialty. I’m a pet mom to a 16 year old diabetic senior kitty who is my world. He receives insulin twice a day so I have experience administering injections. This isn’t just a gig for me, I genuinely love animals and treat every pet like they’re my own. I’m attentive, patient, and I truly take the time to understand each pet’s routine, personality, and needs. I keep pet parents at ease by providing updated as well as maintaining open and honest communication so you’ll never have to worry about what your pet is doing. I’m currently working part time from home and have plenty of time to dedicate. My schedule is very flexible and open to same day bookings. My cats follow the same daily routine. They eat soft food twice a day and receive medications twice a day. I have 2 friendly cats whom have grown up around dogs their whole lives. I have also fostered 2 cats for a year.

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.

FAQs for Pet Sitting - New Rochelle

Frequently asked questions about Rover

The average cost of Pet Sitting in New Rochelle is $28 per visit as of October 2026. Most bookings cost between $20 and $51 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 October 2026, there are 27,107 sitters on Rover offering Pet Sitting across New Rochelle. 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 .

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 , which provides up to $25,000 in eligible veterinary care reimbursement.

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.

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 .

sitters on Rover set their own , 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.
