“Rachel was great— very communicative, sent pictures with every check in & we felt very comfortable with her watching over our 3 dogs while we were out of town for the holiday. Would love to use her services again!”
“Nicole was awesome! She took care of my stand-offish cat while I was away for a week and I don’t think I could have asked for a better pet sitter. Nicole was very thorough, followed all my instructions, communicated with me throughout the week and I’m sure was a great comfort to my cat while I was away. Would highly recommend!”
About: I’ve taken care of dogs and cats for as long as I can remember. Currently in my house, we have 3 dogs and 2 cats that I help take care of. I have been on Rover for about 6 years. I am an elementary teacher and high school girls basketball coach. I am currently on summer break since I am an elementary teacher. This means that I have a lot of free time because I am not working anywhere else. I am a very active person, so I love playing with all dogs and taking them on nice, long walks. I have also been around dogs and cats my whole life, so I love spending time with all animals.
“Took our booking request so last minute (during the holidays no less) and did everything we asked and more. She came in to take care of our kitties while we weren't able to.”
“Jacqueline was very professional and asked to come to a meet and greet the day before a sitting session Shadow felt at ease and warmed up to her very quickly. I will be reaching out to her again.”
“Abby was absolutely amazing with my puppy. She followed instructions, took initiative and truly cared for my pup like her own. I highly recommend her if you’re looking for a reliable responsible punctual caring pet sitter.”
“Meghan took great care of Dakota while we were away for a few hours. She gave her lots of frisbee time, and breaks and water to cool her off because it was a hot day. She is very caring and a true dog person. :-) Dakota was so relaxed and happy when we arrived home. We found Meghan at the last minute and are so grateful that she was available. Such a relief. We highly recommend her.”
About: As a former veterinary receptionist, I’ve had 3 years of experience helping care for dogs and cats. Now pursuing art, I’m looking to continue to help take care of pets. I’m currently working on pursuing my art career, so my schedule is pretty open for drop ins or walks. I’m occasionally available for in-house pet sitting. In the part few years, I’ve developed a real heart for animals. Pet care is so important, giving a voice to those who can’t speak.
“Kimberly came over multiple times in a week to let our dog out while my husband was away. She is always on time and gives so much attention to our dog which is so appreciated when he is home alone all day. We can’t recommend her enough!”
“⸻ I’ve been trusting Abhay with my dog for the past four years, and I can’t recommend him enough. He is incredibly reliable and always punctual, which gives me such peace of mind. One of the things I appreciate most is his excellent communication. After each session, he provides thoughtful updates on how things went, which shows how attentive and engaged he is. On the rare occasion when there’s any uncertainty, he doesn’t hesitate to reach out for clarification, which I truly appreciated. It’s clear that he takes both his work and my dog’s well-being seriously. It’s a huge comfort knowing my dog is in such capable and caring hands.”
About: I can handle dogs of all different breeds and love to treat them with the love and respect they deserve! I love what I do! I am currently working a full time job during the week Monday through Friday, so weekends work best for me to be able to take care of dogs. I can easily crate a dog if needed and will use what is needed at my clients house to be able to keep the dog safe and sound.
“I trust her with my dog and two kitties - that says it all! I can see in all the photos she sends that they love to see her when she cares for them! She even made sure to clean up messes the kitties made on the rug while I was traveling. Her honest and timely communication is very appreciated. Highly recommend Madeline!”
About: I've always loved dogs and cats and felt very passionate about them. I have two years animal shelter experience taking care of dogs and cats. This included feeding several different types of foods and diets to pets, ensuring pets' safety, cleaning cages and kennels, cleaning litter boxes, and taking out dogs into the yard. I am available most days and times every week to care for your pets. I offer mostly drop ins and I do have exceptions like I will be going on vacation this month so just message me within one day to request a booking. I look forward to meeting you and your pets! I pay attention to dogs and cats body languages to ensure their safety needs and emotional needs are met. I let pets come to me first so that they can feel comfortable and safe around me. I treat every pet with respect and if they do not want to say hi yet, that is totally fine with me I will feed them and clean litterbox, etc and they will warm up to me eventually. I watch puppies and young dogs very carefully so that they do not get into trouble and I always make sure the floors are puppy/dog proofed.
About: I’m a devoted dog lover and stay-at-home pet caregiver with a friendly, nearly 5-year-old beagle who adores canine company. I have lots of time to cater to your dog’s needs—whether that’s plenty of cuddles, neighborhood walks, or longer hikes—and our beagle has a calm, social temperament and has never met a dog he didn’t get along with. He even helps new dogs settle in at daycare thanks to his gentle nature. I’m comfortable with dogs of all breeds and energy levels and tailor walks and activity to each dog’s needs (short, slow strolls or more active outings). Safe, attentive care and lots of affection are guaranteed—happy to discuss routines, feeding, and any special needs your dog has. I’m currently not employed so my days are flexible. Any doggos that come to the house will be joined by our friendly beagle. Walks are completely up to your discretion. I will do whatever is easiest and the most safe for your pets. We have a crate in our house that can be used if needed. We also have a yard that is not fenced in.
About: I specialize in caring for dogs with special needs and flat faced dogs, frenchies, pugs, bulldogs, etc. I own two French bulldogs myself and administer all types of medication. I am semi-retired from a Corporate career and have recently decided to start my own dog walking business. I am currently trying to build up my clientele to hopefully create a doggie daycare in the near future. I will have a fenced in yard by the end of summer 2025, currently in progress. I have a few separate areas where pups can relax and veg out as well as play inside.
“Need someone last minute. John responded promptly and was very communicative during his stay since it was his first time looking after my dog. Took him for a pee break and a little walk and gave him treats and my dog looked happy. Very pleased. Thanks!”
About: Hello Canine Parents, I love and welcome dogs of all ages, sizes and breeds. While you are away, I will feed, walk and play with your with puppy or dog with love and compassion. Your dog's safety and comfort are my top priorities. I carefully monitor interactions and create a calm environment where your fur-baby can relax and enjoy themselves. I will care for your dog as if they were my own! My schedule would be based on your dog's needs. I am available for daily check-ins, over night stays and daily walks. Your dog's needs come first. When caring for your dog in your home, my goal is to keep their routine as normal, comfortable and stress free as possible. I will follow your instructions closely regarding feeding, portion sizes, treats, medications and any special dietary needs. Fresh water will always be available. Daily walks and exercise would be tailored to your dog's age, energy level and your preferences. Exercise could be a short/long walk, short bathroom breaks, playtime in the yard or indoor activities. Companionship, affection and attention are a must when caring for your pet.
“I appreciate Barry getting my pups out on short notice while I couldn’t be home with them! I feel bad leaving them for long days, but have comfort knowing they get some time outside along with care and attention while I’m away!”

Meghan took great care of Dakota while we were away for a few hours. She gave her lots of frisbee time, and breaks and water to cool her off because it was a hot day. She is very caring and a true dog person. :-) Dakota was so relaxed and happy when we arrived home. We found Meghan at the last minute and are so grateful that she was available. Such a relief. We highly recommend her.
I trust her with my dog and two kitties - that says it all! I can see in all the photos she sends that they love to see her when she cares for them! She even made sure to clean up messes the kitties made on the rug while I was traveling. Her honest and timely communication is very appreciated. Highly recommend Madeline!
We reach out to Adriana first whenever we need intermittent/drop in visits for our sweet 15 year old dog. She's used to us home with her most of the time, and when we need to leave her for longer than she's used to, Adriana gives us great peace of mind by dropping in. She's always terrific with communication and dependability. Thoroughly recommend!
I booked last minute with Kelly, and she was fantastic with Benny. You can tell she genuinely cares about animals and made him feel comfortable right away. She sent pictures and updates throughout, which really gave me peace of mind while I was away. It meant a lot knowing he was in such good hands. I would absolutely book with her again!
Brendan openly communicated before we booked and helped through the process. Our situated was unique as we stayed on a military reservation in our camper. He was able to follow step by step instructions to get to our location and had no issues. He sent pics of our pup every time and communicated timelines. Thank you Brendan!

Frequently asked questions about Rover
The average cost for Pet Sitting in Rockland on Rover is $22.2 per visit (as of July 2026). However, all sitters set their own rates based on experience, location, and availability.
Rover makes budgeting the cost of Pet Sitting easy. As long as your dates and pet profiles are correct, the price you see before you book is the same price you pay for Pet Sitting. For more information on service fees, click here .
As of July 2026, there are 9,909 sitters on Rover offering Pet Sitting across Rockland. Enter your ZIP code to see which available sitters are closest to your home.
A pet sitter can provide focused care sessions, help your pet’s routine stay on track, or keep you updated on your pet’s mood and energy levels.
Whether you’re at the office for the day or traveling for a few nights, a pet sitter can offer potty breaks during a Rockland stroll, cleaning the litter box, or making sure your pet has on-time food or water refills. For daytime services like walking and drop-ins, you can also request sitters to send a report card with every visit.
Tip: You can discuss your specific arrangements with a pet sitter on Rover to what fits you, your pet, and your sitter’s needs. To find what their special skills are, look at the "Skills" and "Pet care experience" sections on their profile.
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 Rockland. On Rover:
- 90% of sitters can help with special care needs
- 96% 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.
A Meet & Greet is a short introductory meeting between you, your pet, and a sitter. It can take place in person or virtually, although we recommend in-person so that your pet can get to know your sitter 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. Most pet parents and sitters on Rover welcome Meet & Greets because the process can give confidence and peace of mind for service experiences, especially for longer stays or first-time bookings.
Sitters on Rover set their own cancellation policy, which you can find on their profile under their calendar availability.
Cancelling before a booking begins and before the sitter's cutoff time qualifies you for a full refund. Same-day cancellations for walks, day care, and drop-ins follow the full refund policy. Otherwise, for dog boarding and house sitting, you will receive a 50% refund for the first seven days of the booking and a 100% refund for the remaining days when you cancel the same day a booking should begin.
If your sitter needs to cancel within seven days of the booking's start date, then our reservation protection will kick in. This means our support team works with you to find a replacement sitter.
