“Richard and Karen were great caretakers for our old cat. They showed up on time and shared photos of their visit to let us know he was doing alright while we were away. Definitely will work with them again!”

About: I’ve had dogs my entire life and understand the care each one (puppy-senior) requires. Many friends, family, and coworkers have trusted me to care for their fur babies - walks, feedings, drop-ins, etc. They have all become family to me! 🧡 That being said, I’d love to be apart of your pet’s daily care! I am currently available after 5pm Monday-Thursday, after 3:30pm on Friday and between 8:30am- late evening on Saturday and Sunday. I am very flexible overall! I have experience teaching basic dog training commands - sit, lay down, roll over, paw, etc. I can walk (3) dogs at a time. Long walks and play are essential for their well-being and health. Happy to take them to dog parks too!

About: My love for animals goes beyond being a pet owner. Through my volunteer experience at animal shelters, I’ve gained hands-on experience socializing animals, handling dogs with different temperaments and needs, and administering medication when needed. I understand that every pet has a unique personality and that patience, consistency, and compassion are essential to helping them feel safe, comfortable, and loved. Whether your dog is energetic and playful, shy and reserved, or requires extra care and attention, I strive to provide a calm, nurturing environment tailored to their needs. I take pride in being dependable, attentive, and responsible, and I understand the importance of following your pet’s routines and care instructions. My goal is to give you peace of mind knowing your furry family member is receiving the same love, respect, and attention they deserve while you’re away. Your pet isn’t just a pet—they’re family, and I’ll treat them like one! At the moment, my availability is very flexible. I can provide service at any day and time. I’m local and can travel for clients. In addition, I’m very responsive. I like to make all animals feel at home by providing a relaxed environment. I have a fenced in yard. All animals should be loved and approached with patience.

About: I have experience caring for dogs of all sizes and personalities from calm, easygoing pups to nervous or strong dogs that sometimes think they’re training me on the leash. I stay calm in challenging situations and handle them safely without adding stress. I always follow owners’ instructions closely and keep routines consistent, but I’m also comfortable making quick, responsible decisions if something unexpected comes up. I’ve helped with medications, senior pets, and special diets when needed. I’m patient, attentive, and very observant with animals. I pay attention to changes in behavior, mood, and energy, and I always keep owners updated with photos and videos so you can relax knowing your pet is in good hands. Pet care fits easily into my daily routine, as I spend most of my time at home and can give pets consistent attention throughout the day. I’m available any day of the week, including weekends, and I’m always home overnight, which makes me a great fit for boarding and extended stays. My flexible schedule allows me to adapt to each pet’s routine and provide a calm, home-like environment where pets feel safe and well cared for. Safety and comfort are my top priorities. Pets in my home are supervised most of the time and cared for in a calm, structured environment. If needed, I can separate pets or use a crate provided by the owner to ensure everyone feels safe. During walks, I always use the owner’s equipment and follow their preferences closely. Walks are kept calm and controlled, and I avoid crowded areas. Pets are never off-leash unless explicitly approved. When caring for pets in a client’s home, I strictly follow house rules and handle keys or access responsibly. I communicate promptly about any concerns and will contact a veterinarian immediately in urgent situations.

About: I was a hands on member in my own dogs professional training, and I have taken care of friends and family’s dogs of all ages and breeds so there’s really nothing I haven’t seen before. That being said, I am well-versed in the high demand and needs of puppies and can confidently say that I am trained to care for them and all the hurdles that they entail. Having rescued my fur baby as a puppy off of the streets, she’s had her fair share of difficulties. Everyday has been such a blessing to see how far she’s come, and continues to. I have such a firm belief that dogs are truly a man’s best friend, and their greatest companion and deserve all the time and love that they deserve. Just from getting in walks everyday, to intentionally setting time aside to play with them is so important. In my home, I pretty much hang out with my Blaze as much as I possibly can. Every hour that I’m home, my dog is right by my side. Even when leaving the house my Blaze is in the backseat of my car ready for a road trip. I think to be deserving of a dogs love means putting in the time to treat them with the care they require, whether that time goes to an extra long walk, or play time with the ball, or even making sure she’s getting all the nutrients she needs in her food. How I can for my dog is how I intend to care for any future clients dog, with care and time.

About: I grew up in Oklahoma on 90 acres with cows, horses, cats, and dogs. I've always had a passion for animals and the outdoors. One of the unique experiences I offer is adventure outings for your pup. Living near the beach allows me to provide refreshing beach walks, and as an avid hiker, I also enjoy taking dogs on scenic trail adventures where they can safely explore and enjoy nature. I currently have two dogs of my own—a Miniature Dachshund and a German Shepherd mix we rescued. If your dog would benefit from a positive, supervised social outing, I’m happy to provide that as well. Growing up, I regularly cared for and walked neighbors’ and family members’ pets, so I understand how important it is to find someone you trust. My goal is to give you peace of mind while your pet has a fun, enriching experience. You can rest assured that your furry family members will be cared for and loved as if they were my own. As a full-time dog dad to my two pups, I maintain a flexible schedule and am readily available to help ensure your pets receive the care and attention they deserve. Whether it’s a quick neighborhood walk for exercise or an extended stay with a pet who needs a little extra companionship, I’m here to provide dependable, attentive care. My goal is to give you peace of mind while you’re away, knowing your pets are safe, happy, and fully cared for. I am committed to providing a high level of personalized care and attention to every client. I ensure that when you book a walk or service with me, your pets receive my full, undivided focus. This dedicated one-on-one time allows me to tailor each visit to your pet’s individual needs, personality, and routine. I also have a spacious SUV available for safe transportation if needed. For dogs who enjoy a little extra adventure, I offer nature hikes as an additional service, giving them the opportunity to explore and exercise in a safe, supervised environment. Feel free to send me a message with what you’re looking for, and I’ll respond as soon as possible. I look forward to connecting with you and your pets!

About: I’ve been caring for dogs since childhood, growing up in a dog-loving home with up to four pups at once ranging from 15 to 75 pounds! I’m comfortable with all breeds and sizes, and I have experience with both playful pups and senior dogs. In college, I was part of the 4 Paws club, where I walked and watched service dogs in training, giving me extra skills to handle all types of dogs. I am available over the weekend to focus on the needs of your pet, whether that’s walks, playtime, or just keeping them company. I’m flexible, reliable, and more than happy to build a routine that works best for you and your pet. Whether I’m in your home or mine, I make sure to put your pet’s safety, comfort, and happiness first. I am more than happy to take your pet to local dog parks, if that’s something you’re comfortable with. If you prefer your pet stays in a fenced yard or neighborhood walks, that works too! I will always follow your preferences and your pet’s routine.

About: Growing up with dogs taught me something early: pets are family. Outside of my full-time remote tech consulting gig, I provide high-touch based pet care for families throughout Westchester and Manhattan. My goal is simple: create a calm, trusted second home where your dog feels genuinely safe and loved. I intentionally keep bookings limited so every dog receives individualized attention, consistency, and companionship. Whether your pup is energetic and playful, senior, recovering from surgery, or simply loves a calm environment, I tailor care around their exact routine and personality. What makes Kristine different: ✓ 100% work-from-home flexibility ✓ Fenced backyard + Hudson River walks ✓ Real-time photo/video updates ✓ Pick-up/drop-off assistance available ✓ Medication administration experience ✓ Senior & post-surgery support ✓ Calm, low-volume household ✓ Overnight house sitting with light home care included For pet parents who home-cook meals, I’m also happy to prepare fresh dog meals in my home using your provided ingredients. For house sitting clients, I believe premium service should feel complete. In addition to caring for your pet, I help maintain peace of mind by bringing in packages/mail, taking out trash, watering plants, and keeping your home tidy. I’m building long-term relationships with both dogs and their owners. Many of my clients become repeat families, and that trust means everything to me. Let’s schedule a meet & greet and see if we’re a great fit for each other. 🤍 My work-from-home schedule provides complete flexibility for boarding, house sitting, walks, feeding, and bathing. I have my own vehicle to help with pick-ups and drop-offs. My home has a fenced backyard, and located close to the Hudson River, offering safe outdoor access and scenic trail walks. For house sitting, I maintain your pet's exact routine in their familiar environment while also helping collect mail/packages, watering plants, and light cleaning to ensure you return to a tidy home.

“I cannot recommend Victoria enough! She was so wonderful with my cat. My cat is usually very shy around people she doesn't know so I was shocked to see pictures that Victoria sent me of her petting my cat or sitting with her! She clearly has the magic touch. She also dealt with her own emergency one day and still found a way to do a check in. I am so appreciative and will definitely use Victoria again!”

FAQs for Pet Sitting - Peekskill

Frequently asked questions about Rover

The average cost of Pet Sitting in Peekskill is $32 per visit as of October 2026. Most bookings cost between $20 and $39 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 16,731 sitters on Rover offering Pet Sitting across Peekskill. 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.

Yes, you can find sitters who have experience with handling special pet needs in Peekskill. On Rover:

  • 83% of sitters can help with special care needs
  • 88% can help with giving oral medications or injections
  • 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.
