About: Hi! My name is Roisin and I have unwittingly become the go-to dogsitter for family and friends alike. I have watched a variety of dogs — very large ones who need lots of exercise, dogs with nervous stomachs, and 4-month old puppies who needed frequent potty trips in the middle of the night. While housesitting, I make a strong effort to maintain your pet’s routine — including feeding, treats (or lack thereof), walks, medication, and time playing. I am a full-time teacher, so most of my care is best scheduled for afternoons and evenings. On the weekends, I am much more able to keep my schedule open but altogether, I try to be flexible! I think it’s super important for dogs to be played with and given TLC while their families are away. It’s one thing to refill water bowls and take a dog for a walk, and an entirely other thing to make the dog feel at ease and loved. I make it a priority to spend time playing fetch or simply cuddling so you can rest knowing your dog is happy! When housesitting, I make it a goal to keep your house as you would like it! I tidy daily and will strip beds and do a deep clean of the areas I used prior to your arrical home.
“We are so happy that we found Maggie to stay with our dogs. She was a great house guest, and took such great care of our two dogs, with frequent walks and time outside playing fetch. She was really communicative and proactive, which we also appreciated. Our dogs are excited for her to come back again in the future!”
“Priscilla was amazing with our 4 dogs. She was incredibly attentive to their unique needs, compassionate, and caring. Priscilla communicated with us extremely well before and throughout our trip. She sent daily updates and pictures and we knew our boys were in great hands. We highly recommend Priscilla!”
“Daria was incredibly caring, attentive, and wonderful with our dog. It gave us such peace of mind knowing he was in such great hands. He was happy, and so were we! We couldn’t have asked for a better sitter.”
“Christy was wonderful. She watched our dogs in our home and took them on nice walks everyday. She was great at communicating and sent us pictures frequently. My house was spotless when I returned. I highly recommend Christy and I will definitely use her again.”
“Brandon was great! He came to meet us beforehand to make sure we were comfortable. Booch immediately loved him. While we were away he was extremely communicative and sent lots of pictures. The house was also well taken care of. We would definitely hire him again!”
“We were in town for graduation and were so lucky to find Keily! I was anxious about leaving our 7 month old puppy with a stranger so was very relieved when Keily was excellent in every aspect. She truly exceeded my expectations. Keily is very professional and communicative. She really cared about my puppy and clearly loves animals. I very much appreciated the text updates with pictures throughout the day. Graduation day was so enjoyable thanks to this experience on Rover. Thank you again, Keily, puppy Sam had a blast!”
“Tatiana was great! She took the time to meet before the day she was going nj to Dogsit. She sent lots of updates and photos and was a joy to communicate with. Thank you Tatiana!”

“Dana is top notch! She took such amazing care of my 3month old puppy. She sent videos and pictures often, and I was able to enjoy my day out without a care. I've already rebooked her, and look forward to working with her many times again in the future. She's trustworthy, honest, and gracious. Highly recommend!”
“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!”
“Alexandra was truly a perfect sitter! She stayed at our house with our two dogs, provided pics and updates throughout her stay letting us know how everything was going and left our house clean upon her exit. We would give her 20 stars if it was possible! HIGHLY recommend her!”
About: I have had my beagle for over 9 years now and have trained him, as well as walk and feed him! He means the world to me, I have also babysat while watching two golden labs! I love dogs of all sizes, breeds, personalities, etc! I am currently volunteering at a senior home so my schedule is mostly open for night walks or home check ins more towards the evenings/night! My availability is more flexible on the weekends, so please feel free to reach out and ask! When I know I am going to be out for a good amount of time, my beagle does go in a crate so I am capable of doing that if preferred!
About: I’ve cared for dogs of all ages, sizes, and personalities, and I treat every pup like they’re part of my own family. Over the years, I’ve built a reputation for being patient, attentive, and genuinely invested in each dog’s comfort and happiness. Whether it’s a high‑energy puppy who needs structure or a senior dog who needs gentle support, I adapt my care to match exactly what your pet needs. I primarily work from home so I’ll have lots of time with your pup! I follow feeding and walking schedules as instructed. Mainly walks in the morning, afternoon, and at night. I have a large fenced in yard and a neighborhood that is great for walks. The home is also spacious to give your pup lots of room to eat, sleep, and play!
About: I am an ER Nurse and travel Nurse who LOVES pets. I thought care for dogs would be the perfect way to do a side job while doing something I love. I grew up playing with my cousin’s dog. I’ve taken care of my family’s dog for about 3 years and then took care of my roommates dog for 2 years. I fed the dogs, took them potty, played with them, and took them for walks. I’ve also helped them learn tricks. I am energetic and caring when taking care of these dogs. I always make sure they feel comfortable in the living space and make sure they are getting enough physical activity throughout the day. I love playing with them and making them feel at home. I have a BIG fenced backyard where they can run and play.
“Above all, trustworthy. She genuinely loves dogs. That much is obvious in how she cares for our puppies. But on top of that, Alessandra emanates trust. It’s hard to find someone that’s worthy of being left alone in your home alone with your furry family members. This is the first time we have felt comfortable with someone.”

Pet parents share their Rover experiences - Pearl River
Lana dog sat for me this summer and she was outstanding. She showed genuine care and concern for my dog and checked in and sent pictures regularly. I could see he was happy, comfortable and having a great time. I never felt worried the whole week I was away which was such a wonderful experience. I recommend her highly for anyone looking for an exceptional dog sitter.
Angelica is truly wonderful. She cared for our dog Gus while we were away, and knowing he was with someone so gentle and attentive gave us real peace of mind. We had just recently lost our other dog, Zoe, prior to this trip, and Angelica handled everything with such kindness. She gave Gus the attention and reassurance he needed to feel at ease while we were gone. We’re so grateful for her.

The average cost of House Sitting in Pearl River is $50 per night as of October 2026. Most bookings cost between $39 and $66 per night.

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 Pearl River 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 Pearl River 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.
<b>Tip:</b> 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 Pearl River 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 , 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 .
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 .
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.
