About: I've been taking care of dogs since I was 10 when I got my dog. I joined Rover 3 years ago and have experience walking, feeding, playing with, and caring for various types of dogs. I care for every dog as if they're my own! I just got home from college and am looking to make some money as I take a remote class this summer. That being said, my schedule is pretty open and flexible! I am very respectful of other's spaces and make sure to follow instructions carefully. I pay attention to detail and am a high energy individual. I truly love dogs so much and am happy to help take care of them when owners' lives get busy.

“My husband and I just came home with 2 puppies and were worried for our first day back to work. Mia made sure we had nothing to worry about. She texted us all day, sent photos, updates, provided above and beyond care to our puppies and is the most caring and kind person. We are so thankful we found Mia and are so lucky to have such a wonderful person to watch our pups with full care and attention for our 10 hour work days. She makes sure our puppies are safe and loved and we would recommend her to anyone needing excellent dog care.”

About: I worked in a Doggy Daycare/Sitting Business called Bark & Purr, so I already have experience taking care and training many different dogs and cats. I am currently doing a side hustle job in landscaping! But the hours are very flexible, so I am free nonstop, especially during the afternoon - evenings. I have two huge parks and a fenced dog park to bring your fur baby to! The apartment is very spacious and dog friendly so you don't have to worry about your dog feeling stressed and claustrophobic.

“Theo did an excellent job taking care of our cats. We booked him to house sit our two cats while we were away for nine days. He followed all of our instructions, and we came home to happy cats. He has a deep understanding of cat psychology, and he spent a ton of time interacting with our cats. We really appreciate him going above and beyond and will be booking him again!”

About: I'm a huge animal lover and have always enjoyed spending time with dogs of all breeds, sizes, and personalities. I have a dog of my own, so I understand how important it is to find someone you can trust to care for your pet as if they were their own. I'm patient, responsible, attentive, and love making sure dogs feel happy, comfortable, and cared for. Whether it's going for walks, playing, keeping them company, or simply making sure they stick to their routine, I'll treat your dog with plenty of love and attention. My goal is to give both you and your pup peace of mind while you're away! I have a a full time job as a lab tech but don’t start work until 2pm on weekdays, so I am free all morning for check ins and walks! Weekends are open all day but please refer to my calendar! I prioritize making every pet feel safe, comfortable, and cared for in their own environment. Since I offer walks, drop-in visits, and in-home pet sitting, I make it a priority to follow each owner's instructions and maintain their pet's normal routine as closely as possible. I always make sure pets are supervised, secure, and have access to fresh water, food, and anything else they need. During walks, I pay close attention to my surroundings and keep dogs safely leashed. During check-ins and sitting visits, I provide plenty of attention, playtime, and companionship while respecting your home and keeping everything clean and tidy. I also believe communication is important, so I’m happy to send regular updates and photos to let you know how your pet is doing. Above all, I want owners to feel confident that their pets are in good hands while they're away!

About: I have taken care of animals since I was 13. I cared for neighborhood pets, family pets, and my own! I have cared for puppies, senior dogs, and even reptiles, and birds! There is nothing I love more in this world than animals<3 I am looking for something to keep me busy throughout the summer. I will be available after five once the school year begins due to commuting. I am extremely welcoming and will be sure to accommodate your pet. I will follow directions/advice given by pet owners and clean up after your pets.

“Christy provided excellent care for our dog throughout her stay with him. She easily established a rapport with him as soon as they met each other. She was cooperative with adhering to all directions left for her. She was proactive in sending lots of pictures, which put our minds at ease. She was very accommodating in adjusting to last minute schedule changes as well. I hope to use her services again and highly recommend her to others!”

About: Hi! My name is Jenn and I rescued Jasper 3 years ago. We love taking walks at the Kensico Dam, going to the beach and the dog park. I am a reliable dog walker and animal lover with experience caring for happy pups. I treat every dog like my own family. You get safe walks, fun playtime, and great photo updates every single time. I am currently working from home with a flexible schedule, so I have plenty of time to care for your pet! I am available daily for walks and sitting on the weekends. Your pet will get maximum engagement and company during the all services as if they were my own. Caring for pets requires following their specific routines and keeping them safe during walks or daytime sitting. I have a friendly dog to keep your fur baby company and I will provide photos and messages about your pet's service.

About: Animals have been a part of my life for as long as I can remember. Growing up around pets, I’ve always felt a natural connection with them. At 15, I started caring for animals of my own, and those experiences taught me some of life’s most important lessons: patience, empathy, responsibility, love, and kindness. Having my own pets has given me a deeper appreciation for the bond we share with our animals. I understand that they aren’t just pets; they’re family. They’re companions, sources of comfort, and little personalities that become such an important part of our everyday lives. I’ve always had a soft spot for animals, and the way I’ve cared for my own reflects the level of love and attention I believe every animal deserves. I enjoy playing, being active with them, teaching them, keeping them company, and learning their individual personalities and needs. I take the responsibility of caring for someone else’s pet very seriously. I want every owner to feel confident knowing their furry family member is being treated with genuine affection, patience, respect, and care. To me, this is more than just pet sitting. It’s about building trust, creating a comfortable environment, and making sure every animal feels loved even when their favorite humans aren’t around. I’m currently a full-time college student, so I maintain a structured schedule that allows me to balance my education with my personal commitments and pet care. I’m intentional about managing my time and making sure that any booking I accept receives my full attention and commitment. I do my best to be flexible with scheduling and accommodate pet owners whenever possible. I value consistency, punctuality, and communication, so I always make sure expectations and availability are clear before accepting a booking. Whether it’s a weekday, evening, or weekend, I’m happy to coordinate a schedule that works for both you and your pet! Safety, trust, and a comfortable environment are things I take very seriously. I understand that inviting someone to care for your pet is a big responsibility, and I never take that trust for granted. I believe every animal deserves a safe, clean, calm, and loving environment where they can feel comfortable and secure. I pay attention to their surroundings, behavior, routines, and individual needs while making sure they receive the proper care, attention, exercise, and affection. I’m responsible, attentive, and patient, and I believe communication with pet owners is just as important as caring for their animals. I want you to feel comfortable knowing your pet is being looked after by someone who genuinely cares. My approach is simple: treat every pet with the same consideration, protection, patience, and love I’d want someone to give my own.

About: Hi! 🐾 I’ve had cats and dogs my entire life and have always loved animals of all kinds. I have experience fostering cats and I currently work in a veterinary clinic, which has helped me understand how to provide loving, attentive care for pets with different personalities and needs. Whether your pet loves to play, cuddle, or just have someone nearby to make them feel safe, I’ll treat them like my own! ❤️🐶🐱 I work at a veterinary clinic Monday, Tuesday, Wednesday, and Friday from 8 AM to 5 PM, so I’m available before and after work on those days. I’m off Thursdays and weekends, which gives me plenty of flexibility for pet care! I’m happy to accommodate drop-in visits and overnight stays any day of the week. I understand every pet and owner has different needs, and I’ll always do my best to work with your schedule to make sure your furry family members get the care, attention, and love they deserve! 🐾❤️ I’m very attentive, patient, and careful with every pet, and I always adjust my approach to their individual personality and comfort level. In a client’s home, I do my best to maintain their normal routine, follow all care instructions, and make sure they feel safe and comfortable in their familiar environment. I understand how important it is to trust someone with your pets, and I treat every animal with the same love, patience, and care I would give my own! 🐾❤️

“Brittney was such a great match for Xola. She went above and beyond by coming over earlier in the week to go to the dog park with us and build a bond with my dog before they were on their own together. She was very courteous, punctual, and sent lots of photos of their time together. Will definitely book her again in the future.”

Gabriella was amazing when she watched our dog! We were in town visiting and got caught in a last-minute situation where we needed a dog sitter day-of. Gabriella was quick to respond, on time, and took great care of our pittie! We couldn’t have been more thankful to find such a great sitter on such short notice!

FAQs for House Sitting - Palisades

Frequently asked questions about Rover

As of November 2026, there are 18,659 sitters on Rover offering House Sitting across Palisades. 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 Palisades 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 Palisades 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 Palisades 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 Palisades. 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.
