About: Hi! I’m a dedicated dog lover with over three years of experience as a dog owner and a reliable go-to sitter for my friends' pups. From daily walks to overnight stays, I’ve helped care for dogs of all sizes and personalities — whether they’re energetic adventurers or laid-back cuddlers. I’ve walked, boarded, and dog, sat regularly, and I treat every pup like part of the family, I even threw my own dog a birthday party on his 2nd birthday! I know how important it is to keep dogs happy, safe, and loved while their humans are away, and I take that responsibility seriously (with a healthy dose of play and treats, of course!). Pet care fits perfectly into my routine. I’m available on weekday evenings and have open availability on weekends, which gives me plenty of time to provide attentive and consistent care. Whether it’s an evening walk after work or drop-in visits, I love making room in my schedule to spend time with pets. Caring for animals isn’t just something I squeeze in, it’s something I truly enjoy and plan my time around. I’m reliable, flexible on weekends, and always happy to help make your pet feel safe, happy, and loved while you're away. Whether I’m caring for pets in my home or in a client’s home, I focus on creating a calm, safe, and loving environment tailored to each pet’s routine and personality. In my home, I make sure pets have a cozy, clean space to relax, plenty of playtime, and regular walks and feeding schedules. I keep things quiet and low-stress, especially for dogs or cats who may be nervous in a new place. When caring for pets in a client’s home, I stick closely to the routines they’re used to , from feeding times and walking routes to bedtime rituals and favorite toys. I respect your space and always leave things clean and tidy. I also provide regular updates and photos, so you can feel confident your pet is happy and well cared for. I treat every pet like they’re my own , with lots of love, patience, and attention.

About: I have over 8 years of hands-on experience caring for my own dogs (Bibbles and Kona) and have recently welcomed dogs of all ages, sizes, and personalities into my home through Rover. I have experience caring for energetic puppies, senior dogs, anxious pets, and dogs with special needs, including blind dogs. I understand that every dog is different and take the time to learn their routines, comfort levels, and personalities to help them feel safe and relaxed. Safety is always my top priority. I carefully supervise introductions, monitor behavior, and provide a structured environment with plenty of potty breaks, playtime, rest, and attention. Whether your dog loves to play, cuddle, explore the yard, or simply relax, I will make sure they receive personalized care and plenty of love while you're away. I also provide regular updates and photos so you can feel confident that your pup is happy, comfortable, and well cared for. Pet care is a natural part of my daily routine. I spend most of my time at home, which allows me to provide frequent potty breaks, playtime, supervision, and companionship throughout the day. I keep a flexible schedule so I can accommodate each pet's individual needs and routine. Your pet's safety and comfort are my top priorities. I take the time to learn each dog's routine, personality, and any special needs before their stay. Dogs are always supervised, introduced carefully, and provided with a clean, comfortable environment. I have a secure fenced yard for outdoor time, and I can separate dogs when needed to ensure everyone remains safe and stress-free. I also provide regular updates and photos so owners can feel confident while they're away.

About: **My FT job is a revolving schedule meaning I do not always work the same exact shift daily and may not have the same exact days off weekly.** NYC AREA ONLY! I must be able to reach your address via transit. Due to transit times, I may not be able to take a last-minute request. **Dogs I have 17 years of experience, cats I grew up with and rabbits I have 7 years with** I had the pleasure of owning a big beautiful rottweiler greater swiss mountain dog boy for many years until I lost him to cancer. I also grew up with cats! Check out my kitty profile to see my best friend, an orange tabby boy. He made it all the way to high school putting up with me before it was his time to go. Losing him was as hard as losing my college best friend, my rottie mix. . Outside of that, I professionally raised, trained, and showed rabbits for a decade and had a professional show horse while I was in college. With the passing of my big rottie boy, I couldnt bring myself to have a new dog and my schedule is too busy to own another these days so instead I offer my services to help other busy pet owners. I have worked with pit bulls, huskies, stubborn shepherds, all kinds of dogs from volunteering at shelters to taking care of friends dogs while they were out of town to just helping neighbors get in potty breaks and walks for elderly pet owners who cant always go for long walks. . I am in my later 30s and have experience in the hospitality industry, corporate security industry, airline industry, and medical field (ex FF/Medic). Your pet is like one of your kids- their safety and security matters as much as someone who understands animal body language. Your dog and I can work on basic things like leash manners while on our walk (its all included if they need it). . **Schedule notes cont: I am only given a short amount of schedules in advance so I have no way to book beyond my current assigned FT job schedule. Regretfully, I am not able to pre-book pet clients then tell the FT job I cant work those days. They will not honor that request as the contract with them strictly says they are the first priority- meaning I HAVE to wait until they release any upcoming weekly schedules. This is beyond my control and I applogize for the inconvience it causes. I do state that I only do pet services in my FREE TIME which means whenever Im not commuting to work or have to be at work. Please take this into consideration when booking! I am ONLY available to take dogs out for walks in my FREE TIME. Must book at least 24 hours in advance. I will update my availability based on my primary job schedule, any time I am out of town, or unavailable due to personal life appointments. NOTE: My day job is a revolving schedule. I am not always available the same time daily or weekly. You MUST discuss this with me as I only recieve so many company schedules in advance. IM AWARE THIS IS NOT CONVIENIENT, but my hands are tied. This is how the company operates. I do NOT offer in my home sitting (my landlord does not allow pets in this facility/only service animals). I am a will check on your pet house call and on the go dog walker only. If your dog does not have a harness, I will NOT be walking your dof for their OWN safety. Dogs can easily slip out of leashes. It also helps them with leash manners and allows me better control of them if I needed to move them quickly from a situation. I prefer to walk dogs away from busy roads/busy intersections and will take advantage of any nature trails nearby. Dog parks can be stressful on dogs, so unless your dog has playmates that it regularly sees at a specific dog park, I will not take your dog to an unfamiliar area and let them run free with other dogs where they could become involved in a fight. Generally, I walk them around their local neighborhood or on a nature trail. NO car rides (I dont even have a car). Your dog always stays close to home and in a familiar environment. Treats will be used for positive reinforcement but due to dogs having food allergies, I DO NOT provide treats. All owners must provide their OWN pet-specific "safe treats" and note ANY restrictions such as "Only one or two whole treats" or for bigger dogs, "5 cookies max" (these are just generic examples, its up to you to know your pets diet and leave instructions for what your pet needs). CATS- same deal, although cats typically wont take treats from strangers so don't be offended or surprised if you find kitty crunchies left untouched. Kitty churus/"tubes"- if your cat cannot have the whole tube, please leave a ziplock baggie that I can put the remainder of the tube in. I will only squeeze out the directed amount and then place the tube in the baggie and leave it in your fridge so it doesnt spoil from the coastal heat/humidity and so bugs cant get in it.

About: Hi, I’m Sara! Animals have always been a huge part of my life, and I love getting to know each pet’s unique personality. Whether your pup is full of energy and needs long walks, or your cat just wants some quiet company, I make sure every pet feels safe, happy, and loved while you’re away. I have plenty of experience with cats of all ages. My cats at home are seniors. I’m good at making sure the animal gets to keep their routine. I am very good at knowing when cats or dogs want attention or need something. I have many years of experience dog walking with my friend. I am working part time right now so my schedule is really flexible. I will make sure to take my time to spend time with your pets. I love cats so much they are my favorite animals. Dogs are really cute and I love playing fetch with them! I think it’s important to never leave the door open and I’m very good about making sure the cat can’t escape. I’m a big believer on respecting cats boundaries. I can tell when they want attention or when they want to be left alone. With dogs I think it’s important to be attentive to them and listen to what they want. I also prioritize making sure I know where they are during the whole visit.

About: I’ve been a multi pet sitter since I was 16 watching pets inside family and friends homes. I’ve watched low maintenance dogs and dogs that need medication administered at certain times. I’m comfortable walking with the dog or letting them outside to play I am currently a part-time student so I’m available any day of the week so long as it fits outside of school hours. Please feel free to ask me more about that :) I have a fenced in yard with a mix of concrete and grass. I have a separate apartment in my house so your fur baby has some seclusion from my other pets. Any other concerns please feel free to ask

About: I have been around dogs for most of my life, having owned two dogs from ages 6-20, and I have since gained hands-on experience caring for pets with a wide range of personalities, ages and needs. I’ve pet sat for both cats and dogs, including caring for four cats and two dogs at once, managing litter boxes, wet and dry food routines, playtime and plenty of attention and affection. I also have experience administering oral medications and eye drops to dogs. One experience especially that sets me apart is caring for a Catahoula Leopard dog who was paralyzed in her hind legs, which involved expressing her bladder and assisting with her mobility alongside caring for another dog in the home. I’m comfortable with puppies as well, having provided drop-in care for a golden retriever at both 3 months and 6 months old, as well as extended dog and house sitting for a 2-year old golden retriever. Across my pet-sitting experience, I’ve provided regular walks, baths, light grooming, feeding, playtime and lots of one-on-one attention. I understand every pet has their own routine, personality, and level of care, and I’m comfortable providing everything from my everyday companionship to more hands-on care for pets with special needs. My current schedule is very flexible, as I am studying full-time for the MCAT and create my own study schedule each week. I attend MCAT prep classes on Sunday and Tuesday evenings, but outside of those times, I can easily plan my studying around your pet’s needs. This gives me flexibility for walks, drop-in visits, feeding schedules, playtime, and extended care throughout the week. I’m happy to work with each pet owner to maintain the routine that works best for their pet! I understand that trusting someone with both your pet and your home is a big responsibility. I have experience house sitting and pet sitting for many families, and I always treat each home with the same care and respect I would want someone to show my own. I carefully follow any instructions you provide regarding your pet’s routine, safety, feeding, medications, and household needs. My only request is to be shown where basic cleaning supplies are kept (accidents happen, and that’s completely normal!). I want you to come home to a space that is just as clean, if not cleaner, than when you left it, and most importantly, to a pet who has been safe, comfortable, and well cared for.

About: I’ve taken care of dogs of all ages and with different needs since I was a teen. I’ve had two of my own :) I’m very active so love doing out door activities with them! I currently work remotely, so I have plenty of time to play with your furbaby’s! I am available to drop in for walks if you’re local, dog-sit, and board in my home. With a lot of love and as if they were my own. I have a yard but mainly love going on walks or hikes (depending on the dog). I work from home so I have a very flexible schedule and I don’t ever leave a pet alone more than 3 hrs at most I care for them as I do my own. My husband and I are usually home and if possible (depending on the furbaby) we always include the pups in any outdoor errand/activity

About: Hi, I’m Tiara—your pet’s new best friend! With over 3 years of pet sitting experience and a flexible work-from-home schedule, I’m able to give your pets the attention and care they deserve throughout the day. Whether it’s regular walks, playtime, feeding, administering meds, or just extra belly rubs, I’m here to keep tails wagging and routines running smoothly. I’ve worked with pets of all ages and temperaments, from high-energy pups to chill senior cats, and I treat every animal like my own—with patience, love, and a whole lot of treats. I’m reliable, communicative, and happy to customize care to fit your pet’s needs. Your pets will be in loving, capable hands every step of the way! 🐶🐱🤍 Pet care fits naturally into my daily routine because I work from home and have a flexible schedule. This allows me to give pets consistent attention throughout the day—whether it’s morning walks, mid-day play sessions, or sticking to specific feeding and medication schedules. I build my day around the pets in my care, making sure their needs are met with love, patience, and reliability. Whether I’m watching a pet for a few hours or several days, they become part of my routine and get the same care and comfort they’d get from their own family. I care for pets like they’re my own, whether they’re staying with me or I’m in their home. In my home, pets get a cozy, safe space and lots of attention throughout the day—I work from home, so I’m around for walks, playtime, and cuddles. In a client’s home, I stick to their usual routines to keep things familiar and stress-free. I’m tidy, respectful, and always make sure pets feel loved and comfortable while their humans are away.

I care for each dog as if they were my own. I am a loving and caring individual. I care for animals more than anything. They deserved to be treated fairly. Each dog is unique in their own way and I appreciate that the most! You are to bring food and treats if needed for your dogs, but mostly remember they are in great hands! No worries.

About: What sets me apart is my mix of professional experience and love for animals. I worked at a grooming facility for 2 years, where I learned how to safely handle dogs and cats of all sizes and personalities, keep them comfortable, and pay attention to little details that matter for their care. This past summer, I also had the chance to travel to Australia, where I got to experience wildlife and animal care from a whole new perspective. That experience strengthened my passion for working with animals and taught me how important patience and consistency are in giving them the best care. Whether it’s energetic puppies or older dogs that need extra gentleness, I bring both skill and heart to every pet I look after. I am a 4th year part-time Pre-Vet student at Tuskegee University so I am not available on Mondays and Thursday's. But I am available every other day in the afternoon and most mornings! I live in a pet-friendly apartment with two other pre-vet students, so your baby will always be surrounded by animal lovers! There’s plenty of space for walks and play, plus access to a pool if your pup enjoys swimming 🤿. And for cats, I create enrichment activities or give them cozy spots to relax 😎. Whether in my home or yours, I make sure pets stay safe, happy, and on their usual routine with plenty of love and attention.

FAQs for Dog Sitting - Rosedale

Frequently asked questions about Rover

The average cost of Dog Sitting in Rosedale is $25 per visit as of October 2026. Most bookings cost between $11 and $52 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 25,574 sitters on Rover offering Dog Sitting across Rosedale. 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.

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 Rosedale 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!

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.

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 .

Same-day cancellations for recurring services, which include walks, drop-ins, and day care, follow the full refund policy.
