“Eric did a house / dog sit at my home for about a week. He was an excellent communicator and gave me great updates on how my pup, Lucy, was doing. The house was in great shape when I returned and Lucy was clearly happy and well taken care of. Would highly recommend Eric for any rover needs. Thanks!”
“She took care of my little one exactly as requested. My dog loves company so she was able to hang out, feed and walk with him as directed throughout the 12 days we were away. Thank you so much! Will be using her again!”
“I was so nervous about leaving our dog. My hunting partner. After I met yvette that all went away. She cared for my Izzy like she was hers . Long walks and lots of attention. Def use yvette. I will be again soon.”
“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.”
About: In addition to having my own family dog, I grew up taking care of other family & neighbors’ pets. This included regular walks, feeding, and overnight care. I’ve now been doing Rover for the last 6 years, taking care of dozens of dogs and cats, most of which return for recurring care — from drops ins to daycare and week+ long overnight stays. I work from home full time, so I can spend time with and be available for pets throughout the entire day. I have a very flexible schedule that allows me to stay with pets all day or drop in as needed. I’m a very attentive pet lover - always playing with/petting them. Odds are I’ll pay more attention to them than my job during work hours.
“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!”
“We had some last minute changes because I got sick and Brandon was super flexible and responsive. He’s great with our dog and our dog adores him. He takes him on long walks, very on top of food, water and medication. Took excellent care of the house as well.”
“Samantha was so great with our last minute request for some dog sitting! She kept us updated with pictures and what our pup was to. It felt great knowing we were leaving him in good hands!”
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.
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!
“Alyssa was the best! She took the best care of our BJ and kept in constant contact with us, sending frequent pictures and updates. We will keep using Alyssa along as she lets us!”
About: Dependable care for your fur child at home for the professional who works nights, needs early morning help, or has a last minute trip. Happy to offer the best care while they wait for you to get home! Playtime, companionship, walks, feeding or all of the above. Will host for overnight stays depending on length of time and temperament. I work from home and have a small dog of my own to play with yours! Your doggie will blend in with our routine of trips outside, walks and fetch. I have a large yard and a friendly dog to play with yours. The dogs are always around me and get plenty of play and treats.
About: As a kid, my family would often take care of our friend's dogs, but we never had one of our own. Now, I'm a dad of three young humans and one bundle of fluff named Simba. Oh and let's not forget Victoria, our rabbit. We love havinganimals, and we still love watching other people's animals too. I'm also offering to house-sit, and take other people's dogs (either solo or with my Simba) for walks. I mostly work from home and never leave a dog alone while in my care. We take several walks per day, including morning, lunch, and at least two in the evening. I have a comfortable living space, a nice yard area, nice green space and a park nearby. When dogsitting, I take very little space for myself and leave the space better than when I found it.
“Ori watched our dog April for 4 days and he was amazing! He was very communicative and took such good care of April and the house while we were away. From daily walks to spending time outside and cuddling on the couch, we knew our energetic girl was in the best hands. Thank you Ori!!”
“Pete went above and beyond! Incredible job as far as attention to detail and instructions. Very nice guy who kept us completely in the loop the entire time we were gone. Pete is easily the best dogsitter we’ve ever had and our dogs can’t wait to have him back. Whatever is above a perfect rating is what we’d rate him.”
About: I’ve been surrounded by dogs my whole life. Growing up, nearly every family member had one, or more, so I learned early on how to care for, socialize, and love dogs of all kinds. I now have a dog of my own , and she’s QUITE the handful. Because of her I am used to, and knowledge about, taking care of energetic, high maintenance dogs. If you have a dog like that and want someone who understands, I would be happy to help while you’re away. Over the years, I’ve cared for dogs who are anxious, playful, stubborn, snuggly—you name it. I’m confident with all breeds and sizes. I always try to understand that at the end of the day, every dog is just that - a dog! They aren’t going to all be perfect and that’s okay. I am happy to love them as they are. So whether your dog needs a walking buddy, a friend to hang with, or just someone to stick to their routine while you're away, I’ve got you covered! I’m a college student home for the summer, and right now my schedule is super flexible—my only daily responsibility is taking care of my own pup! Starting in July, I’ll be working from 8 AM to 3 PM on weekdays, but I’ll still be available for early morning, late afternoon, and evening walks, drop-ins, or playtime. Outside of those hours, my calendar is wide open to hang out with your furry friends, whether they need some midday attention, weekend company, or a doggy sleepover buddy! I live in a dog-friendly neighborhood with a large backyard full of wildlife, perfect for keeping your dog entertained and curious throughout the day. Plus, there are plenty of nearby parks where I love taking dogs for long walks or relaxing sessions of people-watching. When caring for your dog at your home, I’ll follow all the guidelines and daily routines you provide to keep things familiar and comfortable. I always approach and care for each dog in the way that makes them feel safest and most at ease, based on what you tell me.
“Megan was great with Louie! She was punctual, followed his schedule, sent a photo update, and played with him regularly. I came home to a very happy puppy. I will definitely be booking with her 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 before 1:30! 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 always owned/ cared for pets my entire life, which makes 25 years of caring for pets. I went to SUNY Alfred State College of technology, where I received my associates degree in veterinary technology, as well as a bachelors degree in technology management Fall of 2021. I started off volunteering at animal shelters in the fall of 2016. I worked as a Kennel assistant throughout the years of 2016 to 2020. I worked as a Veterinary Assistant from 2020 to 2023. I am currently a Veterinary Technician (Emergency animal nurse) at Veterinary Emergency Group. I have animal training, grooming, and Veterinary medical experience. I work a full time job at Veterinary Emergency Group three days a week. 12 hour shifts. I can also bring pets to work with me as well. So I am available all days out of the week. I do not have a fenced in yard, but there is a hiking trail around the corner from my home where I walk my own dogs daily. Pets will never be put in a crate. (Unless you prefer for them to be crated) They are welcomed to walk around my house, on the couch, and in my bed. I feed my dogs twice a day and they get walked 3-4 times a day. Whenever I have to run errands they stay at home with pee pee pads located around the house.
The median cost per night for house sitting in Pearl River is $60
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.

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.
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 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 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 Pearl River. 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.
