“Jennifer took great care of our puppy while we were away for the weekend. When we came back, he was happy yet calm, which makes me feel like she was a great comfort to him while we were away. She sent updates every day (just the right amount of communication- neither too much nor too little). Our home was exactly as we had left it- so Jennifer did an excellent job of keeping him from destroying our house ☺️”
About: Love dogs all kind. First I pet seat my friend’s dogs when they were away. Then I got my own dog. Alaska is a 34 lbs pomsky. She is very playful and would like a company. I can take your dog to a dog park or the dog beach. Both of those amenities are next to my house. Moreover I have small fenced yard for playing with bunch of balls.I work from home , so have a lot free time to pet sit fur babies and take them for plenty of walks. If you are away for a short trip, book your pet a bed and breakfast inn in my house. I will take care of your furry friend either at my house or yours. Currently work from home. Very flexible. However prefer drop offs and pick ups in mornings. If pick up after 3 pm addition charge may apply I have fenced yard where. I can let dogs out for quick pee and play if needed. However I take them on walks at least 2 times a day. If good weather, I may take them to the dog park or rye beach
“First time booking Bri and have already booked her again. She’s so kind with my dog Syd and was very attentive to her needs. And Syd loved her! When Bri was leaving, my dog was ready to leave with her!”
“We were fortunate to have Dana house sit for us on relatively short notice. She watched our 13 year old dog and 2 cats. We received updates and came home to some happy pets and a tidy house.”
“Jasmine did a great job with our schnauzer. She took him for walks and kept us in the loop with texts and pics without going overboard. I think Murphy was sad when we got home!”
About: I’ve been around cats and dogs my whole life. I’m patient, observant, and great with all ages—from playful puppies to senior pets who need a gentler, consistent routine. I have a very flexible schedule and would love to fill my time caring for pets. I'm reliable, responsive, and able to adjust to your pet’s routine. While I can’t care for pets at my home, I would love to provide walks, drop-ins, and in-home sitting following your whatever works best for your pet.
“Aaliyah stayed in our home for 4 nights watching our cat and dog - she was truly unbelievable and made us feel at ease while traveling. She sent constant updates, photos, videos and went above and beyond to take care of our pets and to make sure we felt comfortable. She left our home spotless, took in our packages and was very responsive. Our pets are excited to see Aaliyah again!”
“We couldn’t have asked for a better dog sitter! Leaving our two dogs with someone else always makes us a little nervous, obviously! They are our babies! From the moment we met Dagmar, we felt completely at ease. Our dogs were treated like family. She kept us updated with messages/photos. She made sure both pups were happy, comfortable, and loved while we were away. When we came home it was obvious our dogs were well cared for, and clearly adored their time with her. It’s such a relief finding someone trustworthy, attentive, and genuinely caring. We are beyond grateful and will absolutely be using Dagmar again in the future. Highly recommend to anyone looking for exceptional care for their pets!”
“Catie did an amazing job house sitting for us and administering oral meds for our senior cat while we were away for 10 days. We felt very comfortable with her and knew our Lily was in caring hands—came back to a happy, healthy cat and spotless home! Thank you Catie!”
About: I have 3 years of pet-sitting experience. Then I took a 2 years gap for traveling and just came back to Greenwich CT in July. That’s why most of my Rover reviews are from 2 years ago. Have experience with all ages pet including oldest 16 years old senior dog to puppies, also cats. I am totally an animal lover and treat them like my own baby. I will update pet parents everyday with pet’s videos. I own a small neutered Maltese boy who’s only 5 lbs. We stay at home the whole time. We promise that we will give the best care to your pets and look after them with patience and love. We send video updates to pet parents everyday. We have big open spaces in our house. There are multiple big lawns and dog parks in the neighborhood. Pets can run freely at home and play safely outside. We will strictly follow feeding and walking schedule you prefer for your pets. Clean them with wet tissues after each walk and send you daily video updates.
“Claudia was wonderful for her overnight visit with my senior dog at my apartment. It was my first time having someone stay at my place with my dog, and she was an incredibly respectful and polite house guest, sent so many pictures of Maple, and kept me updated throughout the stay. You can completely trust her with your pet and in your home!”
“Andrea provided the best care to my two kitties! She was amazing in giving updates, following instructions and immediately made friends with my girls, who don't warm up to strangers quickly!”
“I’m not kidding, I’m tempted to gatekeep but won’t because Alyssa deserves all the love and dog jobs in the world. Seriously, best dog sitter ever. Thoughtful, sent daily summaries and photos, my reactive dog was so HAPPY!!! I feel truly lucky to have found her. 10/10. She is the best. Will rebook again and again and again as long as she wants to keep watching pups.”
“Lina was absolutely wonderful. We were on a vacation far away and very worried about our aging dogs. She took wonderful care of of them, sent pictures, and kept in close touch. It was very comforting to know our dogs were happy while we were away and we could see it in their faces. Lina generously provided extra TLC and the dogs seem to respond to her genuine care for them. Thank you so much, Lina. It’s wonderful to meet you and we will call you again for sure.”
“This is our second time using Adam. My dogs were very excited to see him return. I have 2 very high drive, competition dogs who need a lot of stimulation and exercise. They also have special diets. Adam had everything under control. House was spotless when we returned. Highly recommend Dawn/Adam.”
“Vlad house sat for our 80 lbs 5yo pit bull and two cats. He sent us photos in the morning, afternoon and evening so we could see what they had been up to and were reassured the pets were doing well during our long trip. Vlad took our dog on many long walks so Dexter was very tired by the time we got home. ? I think Dexter missed Vlad when he left. Vlad was also there when we got home so we knew the pets weren’t left alone for long during the transition time, which is when Dexter usually destroys pillows ?. Vlad is absolutely fabulous!! We have already booked him again!!”
“Hannah watched over my 10-wk old puppy part time for 3 days. She asked to meet ahead of puppy sitting to understand the routine. She was very punctual, reliable, and was also sweet, snuggled with the puppy. I was glad to learn she is local, so I plan to book again in the future.”
About: I bring attentive, knowledgeable care tailored to your specific creature and their specific personality. I've been pet parent to dogs of all sizes, from Chihuahuas to Great Danes to my current Sheepadoodle — there's no dog size or personality that's too much or too little, IMHO. And my experience extends well beyond dogs — cats, snakes, farm animals 🐐, and more. I also happen to share my home with a ball python named Fettuccine Alfredo 🐍, who is a distinguished, low-drama fellow. As a plant parent, I will watch after yours indoor jungles, outdoor gardens, that one fiddle leaf fig you're nervous about. If you need someone who will actually look at your monstera and not just splash water in its general direction, that's me. (My avocado tree, grown from a pit, is thriving. I'm not taking questions.) Housesitting, dog walking, drop-in visits, basic training — I've got you. And if you're going away and need the whole ecosystem looked after, pets, plants, and all, I'd love to meet you. Pet care fits naturally into the rhythm of my week. My mornings are consistently free, which works well for walks and drop-in visits, and I have flexibility on Wednesdays, Fridays, and weekends for longer stays or housesitting. On days when I'm teaching in the afternoons and evenings, I'm still available in the mornings — and I keep my schedule intentionally manageable so I'm never stretched too thin across clients. This isn't something I'm squeezing in around a packed schedule — it's something I've made genuine room for. When I'm in your home for drop-in visits or housesitting, I treat it with the same care and attention I'd give my own. That means following your routines exactly as you've set them, keeping things tidy, and making sure your pets are comfortable and unstressed in their own environment. I take detailed notes at meet-and-greets so nothing gets missed while you're away. On walks, I keep dogs leashed and attentive to their individual energy and needs — a reactive dog gets a very different walk than a social butterfly, and I know the difference. I bring over thirty years of animal experience to reading body language and behavior, so I'm not caught off guard by much. My own home includes a ball python and two cats, so I'm well practiced in managing a multi-species household safely and calmly. I don't offer boarding, which means your dog's visit to my home would only ever be for a meet-and-greet in a low-key, relaxed setting. In any situation that feels off — health, behavior, anything — I err on the side of contacting you immediately and getting to a vet if needed. You'll never be left guessing.
The median cost per night for house sitting in Rye is $60
Pet parents share their Rover experiences - Rye
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!
Jasmine was terrific! Our boy Jack is a big insecure baby. He took to Jasmine right away. We went away for the first time able to leave Jack in his favorite environment, home. We got a photo everyday and correspondence on what was going on. Felt very much in touch. Thank you Jasmine. We will hopefully be able to book with you again soon.
Claudia stayed with my senior dog who needs medicine 3 times a day for 6 nights and I was thrilled with how well she was taken care of. She was walked several times, provided outdoor exploration in my fenced yard and gave loads of belly rubs! Claudia was very responsive to all of my requests during the six days and I would be happy to hire her again sometime.
Marcela was the best care we could have hoped for for our dog and cat during a long weekend! She was extremely communicative, went out of her way to make us feel comfortable, sent photos and updates several times per day and took gentle care of our pets (especially during July 4 fireworks). We can’t wait for Marcela to stay with our girls again and are very grateful we found her!
Brandon took excellent care of Leo while we were away. He was professional and communicated well, took great care of our home and made sure that all of Leo’s needs were met. Leo loved cuddling with Brandon and especially appreciated the forest hikes! We’d highly recommend Brandon!
We needed a fill-in sitter for one weekend. Vinny got along with our pups and kitty really well and respected our home. I appreciate that he listened to our training requests with our youngest pup and not allowing him to jump. We had a last minute curveball with our oldest pup and she needed extra attention, she was well looked after. We felt at ease the entire weekend and came home to a calm, happy household.
Aaliyah stayed with our dog and cat for 5 days while we left the country and made it such an ease. She sent constant updates, checking in with pictures and status updates several times per day, and it was clear that our pets loved her and felt at ease. She always leaves our home spotless and our pets can’t wait to hang with her again soon!

Frequently asked questions about Rover
The average cost for House Sitting in Rye on Rover is $100 per night (as of August 2026). However, all sitters set their own rates based on experience, location, and availability.
Rover makes budgeting the cost of House 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 House Sitting. For more information on service fees, click here .
As of August 2026, there are 18,512 sitters on Rover offering House Sitting across Rye. Enter your ZIP code to see which available sitters are closest to your home.
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 Rye 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 Rye 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 Rye 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 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.
Yes, you can find sitters who have experience with handling special pet needs in Rye. On Rover:
- 88% of sitters can help with special care needs
- 93% can help with giving oral medications or injections
- 97% 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.
