About: I’ve had experience with larger breeds. I had an Airedale terrier growing up and had a large golden doodle who was almost 100 pounds so I’m a big fan of big dogs! I’m able to walk larger dogs with ease and have experience with food sensitive dogs as my doodle was allergic to just about everything. I’m available to do dog sitting pretty much whenever. I work from home full time so I am able to provide a lot of attention to any of my dog guests who stay with me and my husband. Dog walking I’m available most evenings and weekends with access to dog parks in my area if you are comfortable with me bringing your buddy there to play! I’m passionate about dogs and would love to use some extra time caring and tending to them! I’m new to caring for others dogs but not new to loving them - thanks for considering me to care for your best friend! I work from home full time so any dog that stays with me is a huge part of my schedule and routine! I can provide lots of daily walks and special attention for those who need a little extra love! It’s important for me to know what the rules and routine are at home! We try to keep things are normal as possible and not instill any bad habits when they are in our care! They get free reign of our home and we also have cameras to keep an eye on things if we aren’t home!

About: I provide calm, attentive pet care for dogs and cats who are happiest with plenty of individual attention and a familiar routine. I grew up around animals and have cared for pets for family and clients on both sides of the Atlantic. I know how important it is to feel completely comfortable with the person looking after your pet and, for house sitting, your home. For boarding and daycare, I offer a quiet home environment in White Plains with a large fenced yard and no pets of my own. I keep bookings intentionally limited, which means your dog is not entering a busy home full of unfamiliar animals. I especially enjoy caring for dogs who are very attached to their people, a little anxious in new environments, older, or simply happiest with more personal attention. I work from home and genuinely enjoy having a dog as part of my day. Depending on their personality and routine, that might mean long walks, time in the yard, play, lounging around the house, or simply having someone nearby. I follow each pet’s normal feeding, exercise, medication, and sleep routines as closely as possible because I believe good pet care should feel familiar to them, not like their entire life has suddenly changed because their people went away. I also offer in home pet and house sitting for animals who are most comfortable staying in their own space. I treat every home with respect and keep pets on the routines they know, whether that means a 7 AM walk, medication at a specific time, or a cat who has very strong opinions about where dinner should be served. My background is in hospitality and event management, so reliability, organization, and communication are second nature to me. You can expect regular photos and updates, clear communication, and someone who takes the responsibility of caring for your pet seriously. Most importantly, I genuinely enjoy getting to know each animal as an individual. Some want adventures. Some want the yard. Some want to spend the entire afternoon attached to your hip. I’m very happy to accommodate all three. 🐾 I work from home with a flexible schedule, so pet care fits naturally into my day rather than being squeezed in around a traditional office job. I keep my bookings intentionally limited so I can give each pet plenty of individual attention and build my day around their normal routine. Depending on the pet, that might include morning and evening walks, midday yard time, play, meals, medication, or simply plenty of company throughout the day. I’m home for much of the day and can accommodate dogs who enjoy being close to their person, while still following whatever routine they are accustomed to at home. My goal is to make their time with me feel relaxed, predictable, and genuinely enjoyable. Whether I’m caring for a pet in my home or theirs, I take the responsibility seriously. I follow feeding schedules, medications, exercise routines, and any household instructions carefully, while also paying attention to the individual animal in front of me. At my home in White Plains, dogs have a calm environment, a large fenced yard, and no resident pets to navigate. I keep bookings intentionally limited and make sure gates and doors are secure before any outdoor time. I also follow each owner’s instructions around walks, sleeping arrangements, feeding, crating, and how long their pet can comfortably be left alone. For house sitting, I treat your home with the same respect I would want someone to show mine. I keep things tidy, maintain your pet’s familiar routine, and send regular photos and updates so you can actually enjoy your time away without wondering what is happening back home. Before a first booking, I like to learn about each pet’s routine, personality, health needs, triggers, and emergency contacts so I can provide care that feels both safe and personal.

About: Animals are not only my passion, but my lifestyle. From an early age I began volunteering at my local humane society, focusing on socializing problem cats. Since then I’ve worked in nearly every area of the pet industry. From vet offices, to horse farms, to dog training. My primary focus has become care, nutrition, and behaviorism. I have an Aussie mix, rescue cat, and even rescue horse! My philosophy is to treat your pets the same as I would mine. After all, they’re family! With my extensive background, I’m comfortable handling mostly any animal, and know how to ensure they’re comfortable around me. Pets are my career, through and through. I’m happy to accommodate to any special needs and provide a flexible schedule. I do have my own car, so transportation is never an issue. While I do not currently offer boarding at my home, I am happy to modify my routine or offerings to best fit you and your pet’s needs. Going away can be stressful, and leaving your pet at home can be nerve wracking for you and your fur baby. I do my best to provide consistent open communication and keep routines as normal as possible so your pet’s stress is as minimized as possible (and your own!) I treat your pet with the same love and care as my own.

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!

“Lorenzo did a wonderful job taking care of my dog, Lacey! He came over for a few hours, took her on a nice walk, played with her, and made sure she was comfortable and happy the entire time. It was clear that Lacey felt at ease with him, which gave me a lot of peace of mind. I’d absolutely recommend Lorenzo to anyone looking for a responsible and caring dog sitter!”

About: Hi! I’m a lifelong animal lover with over 7 years of hands-on pet care experience. I currently live with my dog, Scooby (a friendly greyhound-lab mix), and my cat, Leo. They get along wonderfully and are used to being around other pets, which helps create a calm and welcoming environment. I started caring for pets as a kid by watching dogs for family members, and that love has only grown. Whether it’s playful pups or chill cats, I’m always happy to keep them company, provide consistent care, and make sure they feel safe and loved while you're away. One of the biggest perks of booking with me is that I work from home full-time! That means I’m around throughout the day to give your pets plenty of attention, companionship, walks, and playtime. I'm very flexible with scheduling and can accommodate most routines, including early mornings, evenings, or extended stays. Scooby gets 3–4 walks a day, plenty of outside time, and regular meals to keep him healthy and happy. Leo, my cat, has an automatic feeder and litter box setup that keeps his needs met even when I’m busy with work—but I still make time to give him affection and interactive play daily. Both of them are up to date on vaccinations and live in a clean, pet-safe home environment. I treat every pet like my own and always make sure they’re well-fed, exercised, and most importantly—loved.

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.

About: What sets me apart is the genuine care and attention I give every pet. I’m an animal lover who understands that every pet has their own personality, routine, and needs. My goal is to make them feel safe, comfortable, and loved while you’re away. I’m reliable, patient, and committed to following your pet’s routine, whether that means walks, playtime, feeding, medication, or extra cuddles. I’m comfortable caring for dogs of all ages, from energetic puppies to senior dogs who need a little extra patience and care. I’ll also keep you updated with photos and messages so you always know your pet is happy and in good hands. I treat every pet like they’re part of my own family. I’m currently part time working! Pet care fits naturally into my daily routine because animals are a big part of my life. I make time each day for feeding, playtime, walks, attention, and making sure pets feel comfortable and cared for. Since I have two cats of my own, I understand the importance of keeping a consistent routine and providing companionship, even when owners are away. I’m able to incorporate pet care into my schedule by dedicating time for visits, walks, check-ins, and giving each pet the attention they need. I enjoy spending time with animals and love being able to provide reliable, loving care for pets and peace of mind for their owners. I care for pets by creating a safe, comfortable, and loving environment while respecting their normal routines. In a client’s home, I make sure to follow their instructions closely, including feeding schedules, medications, playtime, walks, and any special needs their pet may have. I understand that pets feel most comfortable when their routines stay consistent, so I do my best to make the experience as stress-free as possible. If caring for pets in my own home, I provide a clean, calm space where they can feel comfortable and receive plenty of attention, affection, and care. Whether at my home or a client’s, I treat every pet like they are my own and make sure they feel safe and loved.

About: I’ve taken care of animals for as long as I can remember since my family members and I have always had pets (my family in Colombia also has a farm so I’m used to being around all types of animals all the time)! I have experience taking care of dogs, cats, rodents, birds, reptiles, horses, etc...I’ve also worked at pet hotels in the past so I am very familiar with following instructions for both feeding and medication administration. I am also very familiar with pet supplies since I’ve worked at pet stores in the past as well! I am a very active person so if your pet enjoys running around, going on hikes, or anything of that nature, they’ll have lots of fun with me! I also DO allow fur friends on my bed and couch for cuddles and naps :) Walks: Saturday - Tuesday: 5:30 am - Any time Wednesday - Friday: 5:30am - 8am, 3:30pm - Any time Pet Sitting: Please message me so that we can further discuss options keeping in mind that I work in an office 9:00 am - 2:00pm Wednesday - Friday, however there is usually someone always home. Boarding: Message me so that we can further discuss options keeping in mind that I work in an office 9:00 am - 2:00pm Wednesday - Friday, however there is usually someone always home. I have two locations in Stamford where me and my team (my family) pet sit. The first location is right next to a dog park and near Cove Beach if that’s something your pet enjoys! I also currently own a cat, his name is Binx, however, if your pet is boarding with us, Binx will go stay with his aunt who he loves very much (and gets lots of treats from). The second location is conveniently located in downtown Stamford where your pups could go for walks and get puppuccinos and where your kitties can happily watch from the windows. If you have a feathered friend, they're free to roam within the apartment safely and if you have a friend with scales they can also roam freely and safely if you'd like.

About: Growing up with pets, it’s something that I’ve naturally always loved. I enjoy seeing my pets pampered and happy, and it’s a joy that I hope to express with other people. I’m currently a student and work part time. Class 9:00 AM - 12:15 on Tuesday-Thursday (in Stamford). I usually work mornings Fri-Sun (in Norwalk) and could get out 1:00 or even 4:00 but never later than 5:00 pm. I live in a pet friendly apartment complex and neighborhood. There’s a lot of space for walking or playing right outside. In my own home, I have a playpen for my pups whenever I’m not home so that I know they’re safe while I’m away.

About: I’ve loved and cared for animals my whole life. Friends, family, and peers trust me to take care of their pets while they’re away. I made sure that they returned home better than ever like they went on a vacation too! I have experience with high-energy pups to senior dogs and can adapt to their personality and pace. I enjoy caring for animals from walking, playing, administering medication, grooming, and providing a calm space. What find most important is being patient and attentive to what your pet specifically needs. My top priority is always keeping pets happy and healthy. I’m currently on a break from school and not working on anything else. My dog, cat, and turtle keep me company in the house. I enjoy daily walks, visiting the park, and sunset outings. Rain or shine I’m available to go on walks, have playtime, visit parks, or give cozy cuddles. I’d be happy to take dogs out to walk wherever they’re most comfortable. I can also assist with grooming, clean up, take in mail, water plants, or any other tasks. I’m currently not taking pets into my home but I am willing to travel.

About: I’ve been surrounded by animals my entire life and caring for them has always been second nature to me. I grew up with a family dog and have experience with daily responsibilities such as feeding, walking, playtime, and making sure pets feel safe and loved. I currently care for my cat as well as two lizards and two turtles, so I’m comfortable managing different types of pets and their unique needs. I also helped care for my aunt’s Chihuahua for several months, walking and feeding him twice a day and making sure he was happy and comfortable. Being around animals has always been a big part of my life, and I treat every pet with the same attention and care I give my own. My schedule is currently open on Fridays and Saturdays. I am generally available starting around 11 AM and prefer midday visits, but I’m happy to stay flexible and can keep my afternoons open later if needed to accommodate your pet’s schedule. For safety and comfort, I currently provide care in clients’ homes rather than boarding pets in my own home. I believe pets feel most relaxed in their familiar environment, so I focus on maintaining their usual routine with feeding, walks, playtime, and plenty of attention. I always follow the owner’s instructions closely and prioritize keeping pets safe, comfortable, and well cared for while you’re away.

This was our first time having a sitter coming to our home to do a drop in to take out and spend some time with our dog who has separation anxiety. Tara was an excellent communicator. She sent pictures and my dog seemed so happy. I was really worried but after receiving her texts and pictures, I felt much better.

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!

FAQs for Dog Sitting - Rye Brook

Frequently asked questions about Rover

The average cost of Dog Sitting in Rye Brook is $28 per visit as of November 2026. Most bookings cost between $22 and $36 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 November 2026, there are 24,889 sitters on Rover offering Dog Sitting across Rye Brook. 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 Rye Brook 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.

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.

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.

While Rover doesn’t offer traditional subscription services, some sitters offer recurring bookings for services like home visits and dog walking. Recurring services come with their own perks, such as flexibility to modify services (up to five weeks in advance), automatic billing, Rover Card updates, and same-day cancellations.

To find sitters in Rye Brook with recurring or weekly availability, select "Repeat Weekly" and which days you’d like them to care for your pet.

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.

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.
