“So grateful for Leigh. She took excellent care of my senior cat for over a week. Mid-trip, my cat started refusing his medicine. Leigh was confident and able to administer his medication regardless (via oral pill, something I myself I have never had success doing - I usually get him to lick it off a spoon covered in churu). She even stayed past her contracted time to make sure that he would receive his medication. Leigh truly cares for cats. She had a very comforting effect on my Pablo, I could see from photos he looked content and relaxed. Thank you, Leigh!!”
“Amandine has a great sense for animals and their behavior. She was very patient with my stand-offish kitty and with my approach to introducing new folks to my cat. A true Gem! Highly Recommend!”
“Claudia is the best cat sitter we’ve ever had. She catered to exactly what Riley needed while we were gone, which was just some extra love and affection. She was so attentive and communicative and we are so grateful.”
“Holly was amazing making sire my cats, Luna and Milo were well taken care of. She wqs always in touch and sent me plenty of photos every day. Will definitely ask for Holly again!”
“Euree is incredibly punctual, diligent, and responsive. I completely trust her and would absolutely love to have her come over again and again to look after my cats.”
About: Dogs have always been a huge part of my life, and I truly enjoy providing a safe, structured, and loving environment while you're away. I offer in-home boarding, daycare, and training. I have two dogs of my own, including my sport dog, with whom I've earned a PSA PDC. Training & handling dogs isn't just my passion, it's my lifestyle. I'm comfortable working with dogs of different breeds, sizes, temperaments, and energy levels. Whether your dog needs an active day of play, a calm place to relax, or help reinforcing good manners, I'm happy to meet their individual needs. With my background in dog training and handling, safety is always my highest priority, creating a structured environment where every dog can feel confident and secure. I know how important it is to stay connected while you're away, so you'll receive frequent updates, photos, and videos throughout your dog's stay. Whether your dog is staying for daycare, overnight boarding, or training, you can feel confident knowing they'll receive plenty of attention, exercise, enrichment, and affection in a caring home environment. I look forward to meeting you and your best friend! My schedule is flexible, working mostly from home, which allows me to also provide pick-ups and drop-offs. I have 3 Ruffland crates in my car to ensure your pet is safe during travel. I have a fenced in yard in my home. All dogs are kept safe in Ruffland Kennels inside the house until their scheduled / designated potty and playtime. I also take daily outings
“Huidan, is very professional. She communicatea well, came on time and try to comfort my dog as much as she could given it was first time my dog met her. She fed him refreshed his water and played. I would use her again. Thank you for your work!”
“Brooke cheerfully agreed to do last minute drop ins for me over the Christmas holiday. She was prompt, reliable and sent me pics of my cat every time she came. I am very happy to recommend Brooke’s services, and will certainly ask for her again myself.”
About: Hi there! I am a local mom who recently lost her childhood dog, Bella. I can't find it in my heart to get myself another dog just yet so what better way to fill the void than by walking and caring for yours. I have a 3 year old daughter who keeps my hands full but am available for dog walking throughout the week while you're at work. I am a working mom but am looking for a dog or two to walk while I am on break! I am usually home all day on Tuesdays so I am trying to fill a void while keeping your pets active. My home becomes their home. I will make sure your pup is comfortable and feels right at home too. While my backyard is not fenced, I'll make sure your pup is by my side at all times.
“Jalyne has provided fantastic support of our cat Mindy across several vacations. Very reliable and a great communicator. We will definitely be working with her again during future vacations.”
About: What sets me apart is my combined expertise in pet care and property management. With years of experience sitting for a variety of pets—including dogs, cats, rabbits, and birds—I’m comfortable caring for animals of all ages, from playful pups to senior pets needing medication. My background in property management means I’m skilled at handling household maintenance and addressing unexpected issues, ensuring your home stays in perfect condition. Thoughtful and detail-oriented, I go above and beyond to anticipate needs, providing peace of mind while you’re away. I currently work remotely, so house sitting/dog walking fits perfectly into my routine. I am an early bird, so early morning walks are welcome and I am available to provide constant attention to your pet. I provide a safe and loving environment for pets in both my home and my clients’ homes. While my yard isn’t fenced, I live in a quiet neighborhood with non-yellow-lined streets, perfect for calm and enjoyable walks. I never wear headphones or listen to music during walks, staying fully aware of our surroundings to ensure your pet’s safety. My strong communication skills also help me navigate interactions with other dog owners we might meet along the way. Whether at my home or yours, I treat every pet like family, ensuring they feel secure, loved, and well-cared for.
“I wish I could give Iris more than 5 stars because she was that great. My dogs are not the easiest to take care of and are definitely weary of strangers. Iris took the time to get to know them and make sure they were very comfortable while my family went away on vacation. Iris sent many updates to let us know the dogs were ok which we really appreciated! Not only did Iris take care of the dogs but also our lizard, fish and even watered our gardens. I was able to relax and enjoy our trip knowing that we had such a reliable and trustworthy sitter taking care of our fur babies and home! Thank you so much Iris.. we will be booking you again!”
About: I’m an experienced dog foster with SPDA, providing temporary care for dogs who need a safe, loving home while they wait for their next step. I also have experience caring for dogs for extended periods of time, including following their routines, feeding schedules, walks, playtime, and individual needs. I’m patient, responsible, and attentive to each dog’s personality and comfort. I treat every pet in my care like family and understand how important it is to give pet parents peace of mind while they’re away. I have a flexible schedule and can accommodate pet care throughout the week, including occasional and short-term bookings. I’m available for walks, drop-in visits, and boarding depending on the dates and your pet’s needs. I’m happy to work with each owner’s schedule and provide consistent, reliable care. I provide a calm, clean, and pet-friendly environment where pets can feel safe and comfortable. I currently don’t have any other pets in my home, so your pet can have their own dedicated space if needed. As a foster with SPDA, I understand the importance of patience, supervision, and following each pet’s individual routine and needs. I’m also happy to follow specific instructions from pet parents to make their pets feel at home.
“Sarah was incredibly attentive and communicative while we were away! She provided us with updates and pictures after we mentioned how nervous we were leaving them, and it helped ease us a ton! I know our two cats were lucky to have Sarah checking in on them ?”
“!!WOW!! We had such an amazing experience with Andrew and we are thrilled to know we can continue to rely on him to help us watch our little babies! We had last minute sitting changes and needed to find someone to watch our two dogs during a holiday weekend the night before. Andrew was quick to respond and worked magic with his schedule in order to help us on such short notice! His communication while we were away was fantastic, full of sweet messages and pictures!! We felt so comforted knowing Andrew was there to be with them and take care of them. We will absolutely be asking him to help us out for all of our future trips and sitting needs for them!”
“Jennalynn was awesome with Pepper. She is very knowledgeable and has a lot of experience with rescue dogs which is hard to find. I have a fearful reactive dog I recently adopted, so I had to give her 100 details about her background. Her communication to come up with an intro plan made things so much easier. I highly recommend Jennalynn for all dog needs!”
About: I treat every dog like they’re my own—with love, patience, and lots of belly rubs. I’ve worked with all kinds of pups, from bouncy little puppies learning the ropes to sweet senior dogs who need a slower pace and extra TLC. I’m great with routines, giving meds if needed, and making sure your dog feels comfortable and cared for while you’re away. Caring for pets is a natural part of my daily life—I genuinely enjoy it! Whether I’m starting my morning with a walk or winding down with a cuddle session, spending time with dogs brings me joy and keeps me grounded. I make sure to plan my days around their needs, whether it’s feeding schedules, potty breaks, playtime, or just being a calming presence. I’m flexible, reliable, and fully committed to giving your pup the attention they deserve every single day. When I’m in your home, I treat it with the same care and respect I’d want for my own. I stick closely to your pet’s usual routine so they feel safe and comfortable—whether that’s meal times, walks, play, or quiet time. I make sure they get plenty of love, attention, and whatever else they need to feel at ease while you’re away.
About: I love all pets. I’ve taken care of over seven different dogs ranging from 8 weeks old to 15+. I’ve administered medication orally and topical long walks and assistance after medical procedures. I do not do boarding in my own home. 100% in the comfort of your own home please do not hesitate to reach out for any questions! I am very flexible for any pet care for any questions. Feel free to reach out. I’m available at all times of day and night to make sure our babies are okay I have a dog and cat we feed both twice a day the correct amount needed for them. Our dog goes on a daily walk. Other client care I do whatever the pet parent needs and wants to ensure the safety of their pet and whatever they are comfortable with.

Pet parents share their Rover experiences - Port Chester
Tara took great care of my cat Ada. She was professional, responsive and patient with my shy little one. She provided me with pictures and updates immediately and answered all questions I had. I felt very secure while I was away that my cat was well taken care of.
We couldn’t have asked for a better cat sitter than Leigh! She was absolutely wonderful from start to finish. She was consistently punctual, made sure Cocoa and Kiwi were well-fed and had clean litter boxes, and went above and beyond to ensure they were happy and comfortable while we were away. We especially appreciated her attentiveness and initiative in noticing and cleaning some discharge from Kiwi’s eyes. She also took great care to make sure our apartment was comfortable for both cats. We came home to two very happy kitties! We will absolutely book Leigh again and wholeheartedly recommend her to anyone looking for an exceptional cat sitter!
Sarah was amazing with Zookie!! She came over a day before to meet him and get oriented since my husband and I wouldn’t be home on her first day. Zook immediately loved her! She has been communicative, responsive, and reliable! Would definitely recommend and continue to have walking/checking in on our pup:)
Christie is simply the best! My kitty had an eye problem while I was away and Christie expertly troubleshooted it with such care and compassion. She truly loves animals and is very knowledgable. We are so fortunate to be in touch with her - we’ve used other sitters when Christie is not available but there is no comparison. 100% recommend!
This was Jason's first drop-in visit with our two Great Pyrenees dogs and our Maine Coon cat. The boys met Jason at his meet-and-greet visit about a week in advance and the boys loved him from the moment he walked through the door. He's very comfortable with our big boys (115 pounds and 140 pounds!). Jason, overall, is fantastic-- professional, thoughtful, conscientious, and just a great guy. He followed all of our instructions to the last detail. We already have more days booked with him. It's such an enormous relief to find him so the boys can stay home together rather than staying at the kennel while we go out of town. Highly recommend him!

Frequently asked questions about Rover
The average cost of Pet Sitting in Port Chester is $29 per visit as of October 2026. Most bookings cost between $21 and $56 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 25,990 sitters on Rover offering Pet Sitting across Port Chester. 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 Rover's Trust & Safety page.
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.
Yes, you can find sitters who have experience with handling special pet needs in Port Chester. 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 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.
