“Anthony was fantastic! He took exceptional care of our two dogs, kept the house immaculate, and communicated regularly. We were able to relax and really enjoy our time away knowing our dogs were in great hands.”
“I couldn’t recommend Net (Stephanie B) anymore! We went away for a few days for thanksgiving and left her with our 2 dogs, 3 cats, lizard, and chickens and she was absolutely fantastic. She followed our feeding walking directions perfectly and had excellent communication. Our house was left nicer than we left it and our pups were clearly happy and well taken care of. She even made sure to give them a walk before we got home so we could unpack and relax. Don’t hesitate, book Net!”
About: I have owned and taken care of my own cats and dogs my whole life. I have also worked on a dairy farm. So I’m able to work with larger pets too. I’m available during the day 8am-10pm,I can make an exception to nights if you looking for a vacation sitter. I’m open to all type is special diets an needs to the animal such as helping them use the bathroom or eat. I prefer to stay at the clients home due to having 3 cats of my own and not knowing how they are with other cats.
“Jenna and Aidan were fantastic with house sitting and watching our boys. They were extremely reliable, and we're looking forward to rebooking with them again soon!”
About: I’ve taken care of pets for most of my life, mostly my own. I’ve had a range of paid pet care experiences, from dogs in diapers without walking ability, to highly energetic dogs! I’m currently a full - time college student, with quite a few gaps of availability in my schedule. I’m currently available on Monday evenings, Tuesday and Thursday mornings, and the entirety of weekends. I am dedicated to providing both careful and engaging care to any pet in your home. I will use the resources provided to me, and make sure every step is safe and fun!
About: I’ve been taking care of dogs most of my life. This is the first time since I was 6 years old that I don't have a pup to take care of. I grew up in a very pet oriented household (including cats, dogs and pet pigs). I used to volunteer with my mom at the Mohawk Humane Society so I have a lot of experience with all different kinds of dogs. I live in a great walkable neighborhood with lots of greenery trails. I do work full time so I am not available from 8am-5pm but I have a very flexible schedule on weekends and nights after 5pm. I currently work full time at a Cardiologist Practice so I am available for walks and dog sitting on weekends only. I am available after 6pm for night time dog walks as well. I live in a very walkable area with lots of trails / sidewalks that I personally enjoy walking on daily. I do not personally have any animals so I have a lot of space and attention to give to a pup.
About: I had over ten dogs growing up, both large and small, and have had three cats. All have lived to an old age and had a wonderful quality of life! I work from 7am-3pm Monday-Friday with occasional work from homes, so I can provide pet care in the early morning and/or afternoon/evening! On weekends, I am flexible! I focus on building trust and affection with pets, ensuring play time and pets are on their terms, giving space as needed! I am big on safety and keeping a watchful eye on them.
“Kimberly is an exceptional sitter! We went away for a long weekend and she took excellent care of our Lab-mix, Penny. Her communication was excellent and she regularly sent photos and videos of Penny during her walks and play time. Kimberly was also very thoughtful and considerate while staying in our home - she even brought in the mail and packages for us. We would recommend Kimberly 100%, and so would Penny!”
About: I’ve taken care of dogs both big and small and have most experience regarding senior dogs as I have my own as well, and even puppies. I also am a lover of walking/hikes and love to bring any dog along with me! I currently have a fairly open schedule with just two classes during the week for only an hour each monday-thursday but can come in the morning afternoon or evening around those classes anytime! I have experience with a leash for walking as well as crate experience as well if required. In clients homes I always make sure to keep a close eye on pets and follow any guidelines homeowners have set whether it be a leash etc. I also always make sure to clean up if need be especially with cats and food haha. At my own home there is no fence but I am always sure to keep an eye on the pets.

“Mark was absolutely wonderful! He's reliable, punctual, and so easy to communicate with. He sent thoughtful updates and photos throughout the day, which really put us at ease. Coco was genuinely happy to see him and couldn’t wait to hop in the car for a ride to a nearby dog run. It was clear she felt comfortable and cared for. Knowing Coco was in such great hands while we were skiing at Stratton made all the difference. We’re incredibly grateful and would wholeheartedly recommend Mark to anyone.”
About: Dogs are a gift to the earth we will never be able to fully appreciate or understand, the protection and kindness and beauty of their soul is something I truly admire. My roommate in college and longtime best friend has a “Canine Training and Management” degree and I have learned extensive tricks and tools from her to help with any disciplinary issues you may have. Dogs just need to be understood and most of the time we just aren’t listening! I have two cats, who are my world. When I’m not working I’m spending most of my time playing with them, cleaning up after them, and making them happy! I would treat your animals as if they were my own, with the level of protection and care that I would protect my own babies with.
About: I've had pets in the past and love caring for them and playing with them. Grew up with a cat, had a dog and coserved a cat with my wife. Because we may move some time internationally, we haven't wanted to make a long term commitment, be we would love to be grandpetparents where we help out by babysitting while people need to travel pet free for a short time. I work full time but from home several days a week. My son, who loves animals will be around on days I am not at home. We would welcome any pets as part of the family. They can cuddle with us on the couch and play out in the yard or chill on our screened in porch. Unfortunately, we cant care forndigs for more than 5 or 6 days as we arent physically able to care for them.
“Lulu was great in communicating and sent pictures to keep me up to date. Dogs seemed to really warm up to her. They are a bit anxious and she did a great job of making sure they had some activity outside to burn off some steam as well as cuddles to make them feel secure. We will definitely use her again and recommend her to others”
About: I feel very proud that whenever I meet an animal we’re almost Instantly best friends. They say that dogs can sniff out honest and kind people. I feel very skilled at building trusting connections with pets and making sure they are happy when you come home! I am able to keep them safe and entertained, handle medicine, food, etc. I have a long list of repeated clients and growing that list helps me support myself and my artistic career! I hope this bio stood out to you because I'd love to spend time with your pet so you can have a stress free day away from the house! I have a very flexible schedule. I work many different gigs that make my schedule super flexible! I am able to make trips during the day to care for your pet while you're at work and I am also able to hang with them in the evenings if you decide you want to have a night out! I like building trust between animals. Repeated visits with pets are very important to help reduce stress on them. I give them space upon first meeting to give them the opportunity to approach me when they are ready to do so. until in no time we are besties.
“Caitlynn did a great job with our 3 pups! Our senior girl is on meds and wearing diapers due to kidney disease and Caitlynn was able to provide the advanced level of attention and care that she needs. We had been reluctant to go away at all, and it gave us such peace of mind that Caitlynn was comfortable with her medical needs.”

About: I have several years of hands-on experience caring for dogs through pet sitting, dog walking, and working at a dog daycare. I’m comfortable with dogs of all sizes, breeds, and personalities, and I always make sure pets feel safe, loved, and cared for while their owners are away. I’ve helped with feeding, walks, playtime, cleaning up after pets, and giving lots of attention and affection. As a dog owner myself, I understand how important it is to trust someone with your pet, and I treat every dog like my own. I’m currently a college student, so I have a flexible schedule and plenty of time to dedicate to pet care, especially during the summer. Since I’m not working another job right now, I’m available for walks, drop-ins, pet sitting, and giving pets lots of attention throughout the day. I’m reliable, responsive, and able to work around your pet’s routine and needs. I have two of my own dogs at home and i give my clients pets the same warm and gentle care that i give my own.

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 Pittstown 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 Pittstown 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 Pittstown 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.
