About: Animals are a central part of my life and always have been. I’ve cared for everything from dogs and cats and more, and I truly treat every animal like my own. I understand how stressful it can feel to leave your dog with someone else, so I focus on providing attentive, loving care you can fully trust. P.S. I have a soft spot for snuggly pups and love long walks. I am currently an online college student with a very light course-load! So I have lots of flexibly and time to care for your pup! I have a fully fenced( with the exception of the driveway entrance- which can be fenced off while your pup plays outside) two acre property with 8ft deer fencing. I have two 60ish pound dogs who are very friendly and low key. Our dogs free roam the house yours can as well or can be in a crate if your prefer. We are pretty active and love to go on long sniffari walks!
“Becky was absolutely lovely to our cats and guinea pigs and we could tell from photos they warmed up to her very quickly. She’s incredibly thoughtful, kind and went above and beyond taking care of our crew. I highly recommend her for all your pet sitting needs, your babies will be in safe hands!”
About: I have taken care of dogs since we first got our family dog when I was 15. I take care of my neighbors dogs/cats when they go on vacation as well as family members pets when needed. I currently have no pets in my home but would love to help you care for yours. I do work full time but definitely have time to take care of your pups. I am home when needed for a walk or just to hang out with them! I live in a complex with plenty of outdoor space and close by a walking path. My husband and I love dogs of all sizes and would love to take care of them!
“Brittnay was great and came last minute for a check in and potty break. One of our dogs invisible fence collar had come off and she contacted me immediately because she knew Honey was a runner.”
About: I’ve taken care and loved dogs since I was 8. Ive been a foster for several dog shelters and had the pleasure of taking care of those who needed a home, even if it was temporary. I have dogs of my own back at home and take very good care of them! I’m patient and love raising dogs and am more than willing to take care of ones that aren’t mine! I am currently a student so I’m not working at this moment. With an open weekly schedule, all you have to do is let me know when you need me! If I am a sitter then I would just stay at your house while you are away of course! I’m always available on weekends too. I would visit and walk the dog as needed without making a mess in your home! I am comfortable with any type of dog! With my own dogs, I walk them constantly throughout the day and keep them on a consistent schedule.
About: I dog sat for the same family for 2 years during their family vacations. I’ve taken care of dogs and cats I love all animals and would love to care for yours ! I work part time during the week and I am also a student, my weekends are usually free or mornings before 12 during the week. I live in a spacious townhouse with six other girls who are all animal lovers, so your pet will get lots of love, attention, and company during their stay! There are stairs throughout the townhouse, but I’m happy to accommodate your pet based on their individual needs. We don’t have a fenced-in yard, but there is plenty of space nearby for walks, outdoor time, and bathroom breaks. I don’t currently have a crate in my home, so if your pet is crate-trained or requires one, you would need to provide their crate for their stay. My main priority is making sure your pet feels safe, comfortable, and at home while they’re with me!
“Angus and Elphaba loved their visits with Corrine! She was responsive and professional. Would highly recommend for someone looking for help with their furry friends.”
About: I provide calm, one-on-one care for dogs who do best with consistency, close supervision, and a peaceful home environment. I have hands-on ASPCA volunteer experience and 15 years caring for my own dog, Peggy, and I’m especially comfortable supporting dogs with medical needs, anxiety, or those who require extra patience and structure. Because I work from home, I’m able to provide consistent supervision throughout the day rather than leaving your dog alone for long stretches. I follow routines closely, including meals, medications, potty breaks, and rest, while maintaining a predictable environment that helps your dog settle quickly and feel secure. Safety, structure, and clear communication guide everything I do. I provide a calm, clean, and well-supervised environment where your dog is closely monitored at all times and never left unattended.
“Lorenzo did a wonderful job taking care of my dog, Lacey! He came over for a few hours, took her on a nice walk, played with her, and made sure she was comfortable and happy the entire time. It was clear that Lacey felt at ease with him, which gave me a lot of peace of mind. I’d absolutely recommend Lorenzo to anyone looking for a responsible and caring dog sitter!”
About: I am a just starting at Pace Law and missing my animals deeply. I have made a summer job the past few years dog sitting. I have a wide variety of experience, from caring for three 60lbs+ lap dogs for a week to three cats I would barely see. I love every animal like it is my own (smothered in love) and I make sure to take lots of pictures (I can’t help it!). I am starting my law school journey and I am looking to schedule in some animal time. I am completely free after 4 most days for walks or dinner time and have open weekends. I have lots of experience with animals of many different needs and can easily adapt to instruction. I will be sure to love your baby and provide care above and beyond.
About: For almost all of my life I have had either beloved cats or dogs. I can do long walks or cat playtime. I am also an animal advocate. My small dog with a big friendly personality, who recently passed at age 14, was epileptic and I kept her close. We were besties. I got to spend a lot of time with other dogs with her. Before that I always had cats, I get them, and I find them all cute and hilarious. I have a flexible schedule, mornings are best, right now Mon-wed.. Can take a long walk or just hang out with your animal. Weekends are great. I live in Somers and work part time in Pleasantville. So anywhere in between is great. Will not be caring for dogs in my home at this time, unless very small/tiny and quiet. I can come to your house happy to travel if for a longer stay.
“Jared, was on time and stayed and hung out with our pup for the full hour! It was super helpful while we’re at work to know he was with someone who loves dogs and taking time to give them some exercise. Moose seemed so happy and was well taken care of.”
About: I’ve grown up with dogs since I was a young boy, and when I turned 15 I started my own Dog Walking service in my home town of Hoboken NJ. I ran it for 3 years straight building a vast clientele basis until I moved to Pace University for college. Can’t wait to meet all of your adorable pets!!! Would be able to do walks any day during any time of the day and more then happy to do pet sitting in your home if needed!!! I’ve always cared for pets in a special way since I was a young child. I’ve grown up with dogs since I was a little boy and try even if I am with the dog for only a short period of time to give the dog as much love and care as possible
“Hannah is absolutely amazing! She took exceptional care of my two dogs, Max and Romeo, and they both adored her from the moment she walked in. Her kindness and warmth were immediately evident, and I could see how comfortable my dogs felt around her. Hannah went above and beyond to ensure they were happy, and received plenty of attention and playtime. It’s clear she genuinely loves animals, and her gentle approach made such a positive impact. I couldn’t have asked for a more caring and responsible pet sitter. Highly recommend Hannah for anyone looking for someone who will treat their pets like family!”

“From the moment we met Diana my dog and kitten both responded to her with no hesitation- my dog loved her from first meeting. Our trip was extended and she was flexible with all the back and forth changes . Which we really appreciate and was reassuring! Not only did she add on last minute service, she also was ready to adjust payment ( credit) for scheduling changes . I am thankful to have found her, and will happily ask for continued help with Diana!”

Georgina was amazing ! She took care of my cat on short notice and she communicated with me right away to confirm she was available and during the days I was away. My cat can be a little difficult with strangers but Georgina was able to feed her and spend time everyday! Thank you!
Maria is excellent! She is attentive and responsible providing love and great care our two cats. She was able to make friends with them - which is not easy. They are pretty aloof. I had lots of confidence that Winston and Shadow were well cared for the entire tie I was away. A big, big thank you!!
Nicole was a lifesaver for our Thanksgiving trip. We recently moved to the area and struggled to find someone to watch our cat while we were traveling. We recently lost one cat a few weeks ago, so we were nervous about leaving her alone after so many years as a two-cat household. Nicole was prompt, and we could tell that Cupboard was well cared for.

Frequently asked questions about Rover
The average cost of Pet Sitting in Ossining is $22 per visit as of October 2026. Most bookings cost between $16 and $43 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 24,800 sitters on Rover offering Pet Sitting across Ossining. 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.

- 83% of sitters can help with special care needs

- 94% 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.
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.
