I also have experience in caring for cats as well, seeing as I have two of my own! I've cared for them for five years now, and my experience in care extends to being able to clip their nails, play with, and give medication!

About: ⭐️ Get $20 off your first booking! Use code ANTOIC46087: https://www.rover.com/sit/antoic46087 For the past 26 years, dogs have always been an integral part of my life. I am lucky to have been surrounded by their love since I was 6, and (not to brag but) have always been my dogs' favorite human in my family. From a 16 year old toy poodle diva, to an anxious but goofy rescued doppelgänger of Dante (from Disney's Coco), I have plenty of experience training and caring for dogs of all sizes, breeds, ages, and different needs. DOG BOARDING - snuggles after playtime to calm your dog down before bedtime is an important thing I've learned from raising a hyperactive beagle puppy HOUSE SITTING - light occasional snack can help with bonding and distracting a dog who is anxious to have a stranger home while waiting for their beloved human to return DOGGY DAY CARE - tidying up my own place not only for my own good, but also to keep dangerous items or poisonous foods out of reach DOG WALKING - running, brisk walking, or slow strolls :) ✦ Schedule ─ I work mostly from home, so your fur children can always have my time and attention, and regular walkies or outside breaks. ✤ Environment ─ I am confident that your fur baby will trust and feel safe with me. I live on my own and can give them 100% of my attention.
About: I’ve had dogs and cats in my family since I was born, and since moving to the area, I have really missed having a pet around. I am hoping that I can get some more love into my life by sitting for others on Rover! 🗓️ Availability: Full Weekends Weekdays (flexible depending on work schedule - if booking gives enough advance, I will work around your scheduling requirements) When I am home, I have plenty of flexibility to accommodate your pet. They are the priority! Walks & potty breaks will be consistent and I will make sure to adhere to any schedule you can give me. Feel free to reach out with any questions - given proper notice, I can do my best to accommodate any other schedule you may need! I now live in a 2 bedroom apartment in Lower Manhattan (Pine St). We have a doorman, outdoor terrace, and plenty of indoor space. I am available to travel nearly anywhere in Manhattan for dog walks!
About: 🐾 Hello Pet parents, I love dogs but living in the city and traveling, I've never felt ready to own a dog full-time. However, my friends with dogs always considered me the go-to person to take care of their pets. One in particular whom I have taken care of for the past 2 years. Her name is Aby, she's an maltese shih tzu mix. I would keep her with me for weeks at a time when her parents were out of town for business. I really enjoy her companionship; taking her to the Tribeca Dog park, potty training her and playing games. As an entrepreneur working remotely, I now offer exclusive 1-on-1 dog care, especially for dogs with separation anxiety! 🌎 languages spoken: French, Spanish, Portuguese As an entrepreneur working remotely, I got to spend a lot of time caring for pets for friends and neighbors. They trust me to provide the best possible care. Well-being is my main priority and concern. I have ensured that my apartment is the most welcoming and safe environment for any pet. Pets should feel at home. ✨During the stay, I make sure to share plenty of photos of our activities, tracking walks and meals.
About: I’m so looking forward to meeting you and your sweet dogs/cats! My family has several dogs so I know the life of a dog owner well.. I am energetic and playful, so a perfect friend for a dog or cat with high energy and need for lots of attention. I am also perfectly happy to hang out with an animal that takes it a bit slower; My senior pup just recently passed so I have experience there. I have lived with cats several times and have a special place in my heart for them, with plans to hopefully have one myself soon! I understand the particularities of cats and love them for their quirks, immediately assessing their personalities and knowing how they best like to be interacted with. Please feel free to reach out and we can set something up! I currently work in the music industry from 9 AM-6 PM EST Monday-Friday, but am only required in-office two days a week! For that reason I am able to spend full days with your animal on certain days of the week, sometimes varying depending on commitments of that week. My weekend is fairly open so it’s easier to schedule in then! I am pretty flexible and can make things work. I’m an attentive, loving, and perceptive caretaker. I understand animals and enjoy their little personalities, assessing their needs and giving them the best care I can! As their temporary caretaker, I am aware of the responsibility I have to them and will always pay the utmost attention.
“Edda was nice and took care of our cat while we were traveling! She was helpful when we needed her to adjust our heat and followed instructions. Would definitely book again!”
“Amanda was a delight to work with. She took care of my cat while I was on vacation and brought so much knowledge and enthusiasm that I knew my cat was in good hands. My cat is very shy, but Amanda still made an effort to play with her and keep her from getting too lonely. Amanda was very professional, communicative, and flexible when my schedule changed. Highly recommend.”
About: I've taken care of dogs and cats since I was 7 years old. I also grew up with 3 golden retrievers and 2 cats. Now, I have my own rescue pup. My friends, neighbors, and family members have always come to me first when they need me to watch their furry one whether it's a quick visit with lots of playing & cuddling, long walks, or a quick bathing. Currently, I am very flexible as I'm taking some time to figure out what's next for me. Typically, I am away or busy on the weekends, but I can make time with enough notice. I will cater to the client's needs based on what they prefer and what they are comfortable with. I follow instructions well and make sure I leave the client and pet satisfied.
About: I have been taking care of my pet dog for since I was 12 I have been handling a very large of the tasks of feeding, walking, bathing, playing, and giving affection to him. My pet care usually fits in whenever I am free (my availability should and will be discussed) and usually when I am finished with classes for the day I care for my dog the same as anyone else, I feed him twice a day, I take him out on walks, and let him go to backyard for the bathroom whenever he wants because of the doggy door we have. I give him so much love, affection, and attention.
About: I’ve had a dog in my family since I was born - both big (german shepherd) and small (lhasa apso)! I’ve had experience dog sitting for my neighbors throughout the years - two medium sized pit mixes and two black labs! In need of some puppy love and quality time (I work part-time and remotely!). I’m very responsible and a huge dog lover, I can’t wait to hang with your adorable doggie!! I am currently working remotely part-time and have plenty of time to take your dog for walks and playtime! I love getting out and going for park days / walks during the weekday/weekends. My work schedule is very flexible and allows me to spend lots of quality time with your dog! Play time, feeding/refilling food and water, long walks, cuddle sessions, anything your fur baby needs! I can do stop ins for walks and playtime / feeding, or house sitting depending on your needs. Can’t wait to meet your doggie!!
“What a gem! Sam did such a great job taking care of our little geriatric kitty. She needs a bit more special attention than others and Sam was the perfect person for the job! He kept us up to date with each visit and made sure to send us plenty of pics too! He even went above and beyond by staying extra on the weekend. Munchkin hasn't stopped raving on how well Sam took care of her and we look forward to booking him again soon.”
About: My house grew up with a lot of animals. Currently I have 2 dogs and 2 cats! We’ve also helped foster stray dogs and cats in our area and helped find them loving homes. I am well-versed with both dogs and cats! I’m currently a grad student around Midtown! I have a lot of flexibility. I spend most of my time taking care of my own cat and would love to spend time helping others! I really prioritize making pets feel safe and seen. I love playing with pets, petting them, and feeding them. Pets are just really easy to love honestly!
“Tessa has done an excellent job letting our shy pup go at his own pace and get comfortable with her on her weekly visits! She has been easy to communicate with and flexible when we have needed to adjust our schedule. Thank you, Tessa - Darwin is so excited he’s made a new friend!!”
About: New available for reoccurring walks! I’ve watched dogs on and off for friends and other for the last 9 or so years and had dogs growing up. I’m used to walking, feeding and watching dogs for long periods of time! I take care of every pet as if it’s my own. I currently work remotely so I have flexible days/timing throughout the days and week for in house stays, drop ins or walks! I also am a runner so am open to running dogs as well. My apartment currently allows small dogs, but I prefer/am willing to watch at the place they are more comfortable in that way they have their routine.
“We needed a last minute sitter over the holidays and tbh since I hadn't used Susan previously I was naturally a little nervous. However Susan was very kind and professional. She took very good care of our two cats and respected our place. I would definitely recommend!”

Tara was amazing with our puppy! She kept us updated throughout the drop ins and called ahead of time to make sure she got all of the necessary information. She is an informed and caring dog sitter and will definitely be booking with Tara in the future! Highly recommend!!
Siddhi was amazing! She was super flexible, always on time, and so sweet with our dog, Burley. She did three drop-in visits and even at our meet and greet I could tell how gentle and caring she was with animals. We’re so happy we found her and will definitely be reaching out again. Thanks so much, Siddhi!
Victoria had been an absolute lifesaver!! She was able to step in last minute and help with my sweet pup:) I received lots of cute pictures and thorough updates. Roux even looked like he was smiling in one the pictures!! Haha We are so grateful and can’t wait to see you soon!
Katherine is truly a hidden gem. She came highly recommended so I’m happy to pay it forward! My pets, including a picky torty cat, have grown to truly love seeing her. I have a lot of peace of mind knowing she’s with them. Book her, just not too much because I need her! 😆
I needed a sitter for my two dogs, Beasley and Birdie, over several days with very little warning, and Chelsea came through beautifully. She took wonderful care of both pups, sent daily photos, and made sure they had everything they needed while we were away. I felt completely at ease, and her flexibility and care were truly appreciated. I highly recommend her!
Thank you, Catherine, for taking such good care of Penny and Piggy! She was available on short notice and is very responsible, communicating every step of the way and following all my (excessive) instructions! Will definitely be asking her to drop in again.

The average cost of Dog Sitting in New York is $26 per visit as of October 2026. Most bookings cost between $17 and $47 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.

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.
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 York 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.
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.
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 .
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.

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.
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.
