“Carol was great! We got to meet in person before committing to any booking for drop in visits. She was friendly, communicative, and helped our two cats in every way we asked while we were out of town. She’s great, and we definitely look forward to her help in the future next time we are out of town. I would absolutely recommend her to any friends in need a sitter.”

“We’re so grateful to Claudia for taking such great care of Luna and Beanie while we were away! She did an amazing job not only spending time with them but also keeping everything clean and tidy. One of the cats had an accident outside the litter box, which I was a bit worried about, but Claudia took care of it right away and reassured us that everything was fine. It really gave us peace of mind knowing they were in such good hands. Thank you, Claudia, for treating our cats and our home with such care!”

“I booked Nicholas last-minute to do a drop-in visit on my dog, who is nervous with strangers. Even though it was their first time meeting, my dog trusted Nicholas and allowed him to put on his harness and go for a walk. I appreciated Nicholas’s communication with me, and I would hire him again.”

About: I am a just starting at Pace Law and missing my animals deeply. I have made a summer job the past few years dog sitting. I have a wide variety of experience, from caring for three 60lbs+ lap dogs for a week to three cats I would barely see. I love every animal like it is my own (smothered in love) and I make sure to take lots of pictures (I can’t help it!). I am starting my law school journey and I am looking to schedule in some animal time. I am completely free after 4 most days for walks or dinner time and have open weekends. I have lots of experience with animals of many different needs and can easily adapt to instruction. I will be sure to love your baby and provide care above and beyond.

About: Dogs have always been a huge part of my life, and I truly enjoy providing a safe, structured, and loving environment while you're away. I offer in-home boarding, daycare, and training. I have two dogs of my own, including my sport dog, with whom I've earned a PSA PDC. Training & handling dogs isn't just my passion, it's my lifestyle. I'm comfortable working with dogs of different breeds, sizes, temperaments, and energy levels. Whether your dog needs an active day of play, a calm place to relax, or help reinforcing good manners, I'm happy to meet their individual needs. With my background in dog training and handling, safety is always my highest priority, creating a structured environment where every dog can feel confident and secure. I know how important it is to stay connected while you're away, so you'll receive frequent updates, photos, and videos throughout your dog's stay. Whether your dog is staying for daycare, overnight boarding, or training, you can feel confident knowing they'll receive plenty of attention, exercise, enrichment, and affection in a caring home environment. I look forward to meeting you and your best friend! My schedule is flexible, working mostly from home, which allows me to also provide pick-ups and drop-offs. I have 3 Ruffland crates in my car to ensure your pet is safe during travel. I have a fenced in yard in my home. All dogs are kept safe in Ruffland Kennels inside the house until their scheduled / designated potty and playtime. I also take daily outings

“Iris was a godsend for us! This was the first time using a petsitter for our 3 cats and Iris was much more than we expected. She took excellent care of Tiger, our senior cat with health issues and entertained our 2 younger and shy cats. By the end of the week Rocky was sitting in her lap! We can't say enough positive things about Iris, she was the best! Anyone using her won't be disappointed.”

About: My dog Luca is my pride and joy. I love caring for pets as they are my own. I am in tune with dog behaviors and actions and am open to learning the ins and outs of your pet’s favorite and not favorite things to help them have the best day even if you are away! I work as a nurse (for humans) 4 days a week and can take care of your pet in the wee (no pun intended) hours of the morning and even late at night. I also have weekends off and would love to spend them with your pet in an effort to keep up with their routine or have them have an extra special “treat” weekend filled with fun adventures! I live in an apartment complex with two dog parks and plenty of space for long walks. I can also take your pet to their favorite places and play and chill with your pet - whatever they choose to do whether they are high energy or couch potatoes - I match their energy!

About: I treat every dog like they’re my own—with love, patience, and lots of belly rubs. I’ve worked with all kinds of pups, from bouncy little puppies learning the ropes to sweet senior dogs who need a slower pace and extra TLC. I’m great with routines, giving meds if needed, and making sure your dog feels comfortable and cared for while you’re away. Caring for pets is a natural part of my daily life—I genuinely enjoy it! Whether I’m starting my morning with a walk or winding down with a cuddle session, spending time with dogs brings me joy and keeps me grounded. I make sure to plan my days around their needs, whether it’s feeding schedules, potty breaks, playtime, or just being a calming presence. I’m flexible, reliable, and fully committed to giving your pup the attention they deserve every single day. When I’m in your home, I treat it with the same care and respect I’d want for my own. I stick closely to your pet’s usual routine so they feel safe and comfortable—whether that’s meal times, walks, play, or quiet time. I make sure they get plenty of love, attention, and whatever else they need to feel at ease while you’re away.

About: I have a yellow lab that is my whole world, and I spend a lot of my time at home walking, playing, feeding, and cuddling her. I have taken care of many of the local dogs in my town back in Connecticut, both as a walker and as a stay-in caretaker. I am a PA student in my last semester of grad school and currently on rotation in Greenwich. My day starts early in the morning, but I am typically done mid-afternoon and available for long walks and overnight stays! I’m very active myself, so I love to get my activity in with a furry friend! I want every pet to feel safe, comfortable, and at home while in my care. I’ll follow your routines closely, keep a clean and secure environment, and make sure your pet gets plenty of attention. I’m happy to accommodate crating, feeding schedules, medications, and any other specific needs. I’ll also keep you updated with messages and photos so you can feel confident that your pet is in good hands.

“Jennalynn was awesome with Pepper. She is very knowledgeable and has a lot of experience with rescue dogs which is hard to find. I have a fearful reactive dog I recently adopted, so I had to give her 100 details about her background. Her communication to come up with an intro plan made things so much easier. I highly recommend Jennalynn for all dog needs!”

About: Your fur baby deserves more than just a pet sitter — they deserve a loving, safe, and comfortable home where they’re treated like family! 🐾❤️Animals have always held a special place in my heart! Throughout my life, I’ve had the pleasure of caring for many dogs of all ages, sizes, and personalities, from playful puppies to sweet senior dogs and pets with special needs. As a pet owner myself, I understand how important it is to find someone you can truly trust with your furry family member. I offer a warm, welcoming home with private yard space where your pup can enjoy fresh air, playtime, and plenty of attention. I’m big on keeping dogs happy, active, and comfortable, with morning, afternoon, and evening walks, lots of love, cuddles, and individualized care. I can also provide baths, feeding, and help maintain your pet’s regular routine so they feel right at home! 🐾 My Availability: this can change I have a very flexible job * Monday–Friday: 4 PM until the end of the day * Saturday & Sunday: Available all day! I know leaving your pet with someone new can be stressful, which is why communication, safety, and trust are so important to me. I’m happy to send pictures and updates so you can enjoy peace of mind knowing your baby is in loving hands. Your pet won’t just be watched — they’ll be loved, spoiled, and treated like one of my own! ❤️🐶 I can’t wait to meet your furry family member! I work Monday/Tuesday/Friday 9am-6pm Wednesday/thursday 7am-4pm and some saturdays. If you tell me in advance I can switch my schedule around to help you out ( my job is pretty flexible) Got a pretty big place , I just let them be dogs and hang out . I don’t mind them being on furniture but if you don’t want me to make it a habit with yours I wont . I do go out every morning to the park and I dedicate about an hour of just running around in the field or dog park but at night we’ll do a nice long walk. Again if you have a different schedule or instructions I can deff accommodate. When in YOUR home I will follow all info provided

About: I am an animal lover! I grew up with both dogs and cats so I can promise to make sure your pet is comfortable and cared for. With me, your pet will be treated like family! I have several years of experience caring for pets of all ages, different breeds, and personalities. Whether it’s providing nice walks for energetic dogs, fun playtime for sweet kitties or offering gentle care for senior pets, I will always tailor my approach to your pet’s specific needs. What sets me apart is my dedication to creating a safe, loving, and stress-free environment. I will take my time to learn your pet’s preferences, routine and personality to ensure they feel happy & engaged. I work from home 3 days a week and am around during weekends so have a lot of flexibility in my schedule. I can provide walks or drop in care during weekdays when you are at work and will be available for longer care if you are gone for the weekend. During any drop-in visits in your home, my main goal is to ensure your pet feels safe & comfortable. I will stick to their routines with feeding, exercise and cuddle time to provide the utmost care!

About: Canine caretaker and walker with over a decade of experience caring for dogs, large dogs, small dogs, puppies, elderly dogs, and special-needs dogs. I'm reliable, punctual, mature, and dogs respond well to me - I was given the title “dog whisperer” by a long-term client. I don’t just walk or feed dogs; I genuinely love interacting with them and making sure they have a great experience each time we meet. As a result, their trust in me grows quickly, which benefits both of us. I have experience giving medication, and have even administered subcutaneous fluids on a regular basis for one special needs dog. I am not someone who walks multiple dogs at once. I prefer to focus entirely on your pet while I am doing a visit. Obviously, if you have 2 or 3 dogs that is fine. I just want to underscore that I am not like some of the dog walkers you see in the city with 10 dogs on leashes at once. I live in Harrison, New York, and I am available within a 10 mile radius. I can do a free meet and greet with your pet before booking. What a value most is my ability to give full attention to the pets I contract to care for. This includes plenty of outdoor exercise as well as playtime inside. I have a small side yard and live near two parks. This is a good area for walking dogs. Quiet streets, trees and parks nearby.

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.

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 Pet Sitting - Rye Brook

Frequently asked questions about Rover

The average cost of Pet Sitting in Rye Brook is $28 per visit as of November 2026. Most bookings cost between $22 and $39 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 25,866 sitters on Rover offering Pet 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.

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 Rye Brook. On Rover:

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 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.
