Our dog was clearly and well cared for throughout and we have already booked Emma for another getaway. Very happy to have found her!”

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! 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!
“I wanted to send a quick message to let you know how pleased I am with Nicholas. My sitter canceled on me the same day of a major work event, and Nicholas came to the rescue. One he is very polite and professional. He really showed great concern and care for my Furson and was very descriptive in his messages and sent photos to update me. By far, he has been the best pet sitter I’ve had. I would really keep using him from here on out as Diego’s sitter. My dog really liked him and he just took such good care of him. It was a great experience and I know that with Nicholas my dog is in excellent hands. I am truly a satisfied and happy client! ~ Aramis”
About: I have been fostering kittens, adult cats and puppies, adult dogs, hamsters, love birds and fish. I love fostering animals. I don't do this as a job but as a passion and love. I'm a PhD student working in the University of Puerto Rico Mayaguez. I have a rescued Maltese whose name is Roy. I mostly work from home but have one class every day. I have netted my windows and balcony. My apartment is on the second floor and the gate of the building is also netted so that the cats won't runa away.
About: I’ve been caring for pets for as long as I can remember. I’ve had dogs of my own and a cat for 12 years, giving me over 25 years of hands-on experience providing daily care, companionship, and love. Over the years, I’ve also cared for pets belonging to friends, family, and neighbors, gaining experience with animals of different ages, sizes, and personalities. I genuinely love animals and enjoy building trust with them, whether that means active playtime, long walks, or simply keeping them company. I know how important it is to leave your pet with someone reliable, attentive, and kind, and I take that responsibility seriously. I work full-time Monday through Friday from 8 AM to 4 PM, but I’m available for evening walks and drop-in visits after work. I’m also available for overnight house sitting during the week and on weekends, as long as your pet is comfortable being home while I’m at work. My weekends are generally flexible, and I’m always happy to coordinate a schedule that works best for you and your furry family members! I provide pet care in the owner’s home and follow each pet’s established routine and preferences to ensure they feel safe, comfortable, and well cared for. Caring for pets in their own home helps reduce stress and allows them to stay in a familiar environment while you’re away.
“Brooke is very courteous and conscientious and takes great care of Remy and our home. She has house sat a few times for us now and after she leaves, it’s as if she were never here.”
About: My name is Robert and I absolutely love dogs in every way. I have had dogs my whole life and know how to care for different breeds with wide variety of behaviors and needs. Dogs are just as much family as anyone else and deserve to be treated that way. I also partner with another experienced Rover sitters, which means your pet will always have round-the-clock care and attention — 24/7! Pet care fits easily into my daily routine — I have open availability throughout the week, so I’m always ready to provide walks, playtime, feedings, and overnight care as needed.. I live in a spacious apartment in downtown White Plains, offering plenty of room for dogs to move around, play, and relax comfortably. There’s ample space for them to feel at home, whether they’re enjoying playtime or settling in for some downtime. I want every dog to feel comfortable, safe, and right at home during their stay!
“Danny was so fantastic with our two dogs, Hudson and Bella. Hudson tends to jump up and bark at other pups, while Bella is a nervous dog and gets startled easily. Danny was great with both of them and their unique personalities. Danny was also super communicative, sending pics/videos, which was helpful and reassuring while we were away. I'd highly recommend him and will use him again in future when we go away.”
About: Hello I’m Iris! I’m an animal lover who is passionate about spending time with animals and ensuring they feel comfortable, loved and cared for. I grew up working on a friend’s farm in Oregon where I cared for dogs, cats, goats, chickens, peacocks, horses and ducks. I have extensive experience caring for different breeds of small and large dogs and cats. I am a cat behaviorist and cat sitter and have over 5 years experience caring for emergency medical cases for kittens and cats through my volunteer work with a nonprofit cat rescue in NYC called Little Wanderers NYC. As part of my volunteer work, I am trained to provide a wide variety of medical care to cats and kittens including subcutaneous injections, vaccines, eye infection treatment, neonatal cat care, bottle feeding for newborn kittens, and oral medications. I am a master at clipping nails for so if your pet needs some grooming I’m happy to provide some spa treatment. I enjoy spending time with animals and making sure they have everything they need to be healthy, engaged and happy. I am detail oriented and will treat each animal with special attention; providing care tailored to each individual pet’s unique personality and preferences. Outside of my part-time work caring for dogs and cats, I am a scientist and high school science teacher. I have a PhD in Molecular and Cell Biology from UC Berkeley and BS in Biochemistry so I have an extensive background in medical science. My research background includes specializations in infectious diseases and cancer biology. As a scientist (molecular and cell biologist, biochemist, structural biologist, biophysicist), I have over 18 years of experience in biomedical research and teaching. I look forward to meeting your pup or kitty! I’m a scientist and high school science teacher so I work part time in the summer and have availability to provide care for your best friend. Your furry friend’s safety and comfort are my #1 priority. I have extensive experience helping pets adjust to new spaces/people and will be patient and thoughtful as your pet adjusts to being around a new person in their home. As a volunteer with Little Wandering NYC animal rescue, I have supported and coached many families through the process of helping their pet adjust to changes in their environment or with moving to a new home after adoption. Moreover, I have also supported families with introducing their new adopted cat to other animals in the home so everyone (all pets) can adjust to the change in a way that is the healthiest for all pets and humans involved in the introduction and change in environment.
“Lori was dependable and reliable. She stayed at my house and took great care of our dog Sammy. She is truely an animal lover. She sent photos and texts during her stay updating me on Sammy's care. She left my house immaculate. I would highly recommend her.”
“Torre was literally awesome. He was here the whole time with my dogs. Dogs were calm and happy when I came home, meaning they had a great time. Torre even gave them extra walks. Really a great guy to work with. Highly recommend!”

Jennifer did a great job watching our dog while we attended funeral services for a beloved family member. Jennifer figured out quickly how to best care for our dog and it was a relief for us. She was very accommodating and positive. I will definitely contact Jennifer again when we are in the area. Thank you Jennifer!

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 Purchase 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 Purchase 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 Purchase 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.
