“We had such a great experience with Dana. She was attentive, responsible, and kept us updated while we were away, which we really appreciated. Our pets were happy and well cared for, and our home was in perfect condition when we returned. It made traveling so much less stressful knowing everything was in such good hands. Highly recommend Dana!”
“Dagmar was our house-sitter for a weekend and we couldn’t be happier with the experience. She took excellent care of our dog and cat and the house was just as we left it. I wouldn’t hesitate to recommend her services.”
“Kelsey was great! We have a cute but slightly needy golden retriever who we worry about with kenneling or other sitters but she loved Kelsey. Kelsey also left our house in a beautiful condition. We were able to enjoy our vacation half the world away without worrying about our fur baby!! Definitely would use again and highly recommend.”

“Crystal is amazing! She was warm and kind and my fur babies were very well taken care of! The best part - she communicated updates and sent photos very regularly which is what I had asked for. I was very confident that my babies were in loving and caring hands! I highly recommend Crystal!”
“Claire is absolutely the best dog sitter you could find. We came home from an extended trip to find out senior dog calm and happy after Claire’s overnight stays at our home. Claire sent photos, videos and text updates daily which were lovely and reassuring.”
“Annabelle was an excellent match for my 15 year old Spaniel. She was conscientious, neat and tidy (she stayed overnight), reliable and trustworthy. My dog’s age brings challenges (vision and hearing issues) yet Annabelle never skipped a beat. I was nervous about leaving my dog with a stranger but it worked fine.”
“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!”
“Becky was absolutely amazing with our 10-year-old dog while we were away for a week. She gave our dog her medication reliably and sent us frequent updates and photos. This was our first time leaving Nala with someone who was not our family or friends but Becky took care of our girl like family. On top of that, she went above and beyond by caring for our home and helping with things like bringing in our packages while away. We came back to a happy, healthy pup and a clean home—couldn’t recommend her more!”

About: I had a dog for 10 years and was the primary caretaker. I also dog sit for family and friends when they go out of town Hi 👋🏿 I work from home and I love dogs so this is a convenient way to make extra cash doing something I love. I’m very responsive to dog parents I live alone in a 1 bedroom apartment. I keep my home clean and toxin free. I make sure to keep food and other potentially dangerous items away from all dogs I keep
About: Cat sitting since 12 years old and dog sitting since 18, I've watched numerous pets of all different sizes including exotic pets such as geckos, bearded dragons, fish tanks, chickens, and birds. I've recently worked at a German Shepard breeder with 7 sweet dogs, taking care of them all simultaneously. I walk dogs, sit for all pets, clean cages and bowls, and even wash dogies as well as their beds and toys if necessary. I love animals and they truly love me. I will always treat your fur baby as my fur baby. I'm freelancing at the moment so I can be at your pet's service. I feel most wholesome around animals so be certain I will make all the time needed to care for them. I typically stay at the client's house, make sure there's enough water and that food is given accordingly. I will walk the dogs or let the cats out if allowed and monitor them until they are back inside. I check up on all play areas, pet beds, and aquariums to clean any accidents. I want your pet to feel most comfortable and loved in my presence.
“Joseph always goes above and beyond when taking care of Otis! My dog is so comfortable with him & Joseph sends lots of updates to let me know how it’s going while I’m away. He’s a great sitter!”

I’m experienced with walks, playtime, overnight care, and giving dogs the individual attention they deserve. My goal is to treat every dog like family and provide the same patience and care I would give my own. I work remotely part-time, which gives me a flexible schedule and allows me to dedicate plenty of time to pet care. I’m able to provide consistent attention, walks, playtime, and companionship throughout the day while working around each pet’s individual routine and needs. I’m dependable, flexible, and committed to making sure every pet receives the care and attention they deserve. I provide a safe, loving, and comfortable environment for every pet, whether caring for them in my home or in a client’s home. I follow each pet’s normal routine, including feeding, walks, playtime, bathroom breaks, and plenty of attention and companionship. I’m respectful of my client’s home and make sure pets feel secure and comfortable while their owners are away. I also understand that every dog is different, so I adjust my care based on their personality, age, energy level, and individual needs.
“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.”
“Brandon was great! He came to meet us beforehand to make sure we were comfortable. Booch immediately loved him. While we were away he was extremely communicative and sent lots of pictures. The house was also well taken care of. We would definitely hire him again!”
“Dan did a very good job watching my son’s dog and our cat and home. My son’s dog, Lani, became sick late one evening. Dan took the initiative to take her to the vet to make sure she was ok. Lani needed some medication and is now on the mend. I would certainly recommend Dan to dog and house sit.”

Tara was great watching out three cats while we were away! Kept us notified about their schedules and whatever updates arose. She was kind, respectful, and attentive throughout the entire process (initial reach out to final check in). Absolutely recommend, it’s always a relief to know your pets are well taken care of while you’re away so you can focus on your trip!
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.
Kalliope spent the holiday weekend taking care of my two dogs. She was communicative and share photo updates of the dogs over the weekend. When I came back my house was organized and cared for plus my dogs were happy. I will be booking kalliope again in the near future.
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.

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 Brook 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 Brook 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 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!
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.
Yes, you can find sitters who have experience with handling special pet needs in Rye Brook. On Rover:
- 85% of sitters can help with special care needs
- 89% 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.
