“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've been surrounded by animals my entire life and have experience caring for dogs, cats, rabbits, guinea pigs, and horses. Through my involvement in 4-H, where I served as president of my club, I developed strong animal care skills, leadership experience, and a deep appreciation for responsible pet ownership. Growing up, I regularly helped care for family pets and spent time dog walking for neighbors. During high school and college, I provided drop-in visits for pets, helping with feeding, walks, playtime, and companionship. I'm currently a proud dog mom to my hound mix, Choco, which keeps me active and helps me stay in tune with dogs' individual needs and personalities. I understand that every pet is different, and I take the time to make them feel safe, comfortable, and loved while you're away. What sets me apart is my lifelong experience with a variety of animals, my reliability, and my genuine love for pets. Whether your pet enjoys long walks, playtime, cuddles, or simply a calm and reassuring presence, I'll provide attentive care and treat them like part of my own family. Beginning this fall, I'll be a law student, but my schedule still allows me to provide reliable pet care throughout the week. I have excellent availability on weekends and am generally available in the late afternoons and evenings on weekdays. I also expect to have availability for early morning visits before class and occasional drop-in visits between classes, depending on my daily schedule. Because my class schedule varies, I'm happy to communicate and work with pet parents to find times that fit their needs. Whether your pet needs a walk, a drop-in visit, feeding, playtime, or companionship, I'll do my best to provide flexible, dependable care. I understand how important it is for pets to feel safe and comfortable in their environment. As the owner of an anxious dog, Choco, I know that every pet has different needs and that changes in routine can sometimes be stressful. I take the time to learn each pet's personality, preferences, and routines so I can provide care that helps them feel secure and at ease. When caring for pets in a client's home, I strive to maintain their normal routine as closely as possible, including feeding schedules, walks, playtime, and any special instructions. I pay close attention to safety by ensuring doors, gates, and leashes are secure and by keeping a watchful eye on pets during walks and outdoor time. My goal is to create a calm, positive experience for every pet by being patient, attentive, and respectful of their boundaries. Whether a pet is energetic and social or shy and anxious, I'll provide compassionate care and treat them as if they were my own.
About: I have 20+ years of experience caring for newborns to senior pets, as well as disabled and medically needy. Behavior issues are handled with respect to the situation.

It’s free roam around here. I do have baby gates as they are needed at times for safety. I also have a private fenced yard.
“Corrine is meticulous and adhered to all the instructions that I left for my cat. All the photos that she took showed how happy my cat was. I would 100% recommend her to other people. Thank you so much Corrine!”

About: Hello there, fellow pet lover. I have over 5 years of experience taking care of dogs and cats from different sizes and breeds. I have watched and love many from multiple newborn puppies to older dogs. I am willing to do last minute walks or visit for your for legged friend. (And obviously play with them and feeding too!). I am more than welcome to feed them too and give them love. I am willing to do multiple check ins though the day. I cant not stay all day, because i have my own 4 legged fluff monster at home, he is a 2 year old German Shepard. Patience and trust is the key to taking care of our best friends the best way possible.
“As a repeat client of Colleen’s I can say that she cares so much about the pets she cares for! She is always on time and spends quality time with my 16 year old cat, who loves her. Thanks so much Colleen!”

“Maggie took great care of our two cats while we were away for a long weekend. Our one cat has diabetes and requires insulin shots 2x a day. Having her be able to take care of her while we were away made our trip all the more enjoyable!”

About: Throughout my life, I have taken care of many animals- and more specifically dogs. I got my own dog two years ago -after having a family dog who I adored- and trained her to do tasks as a service dog for my partner alongside basic training. I have also watched multiple dogs for friends and family while they are away on vacation or business. Currently, I am a student with a very flexible schedule. I am free from Thursday through Sunday and will be adding more availability throughout the week when my schedule gets consistent. I have been a strong proponent of taking precautionary measures before accidents happen rather than after they occur. Therefore, no matter how trained a dog may be they will be watched 24/7 while outside and leashed for our walks around the neighborhood.
About: I’ve always loved being around animals and making sure they feel safe and cared for. Over the years, I’ve pet-sat on the side for friends and neighbors—it’s more of a hobby than a job because I genuinely enjoy spending time with animals. I’m reliable, patient, and happy to help with walks, playtime, feeding, or keeping a routine. I make sure each pet feels comfortable, cared for, and loved while their owner is away. I work a 9–5 job, but I’m available most mornings, evenings, and weekends to care for pets. I work from home three days a week, which allows for added flexibility to provide walks, playtime, or visits. I provide a safe, calm environment while caring for pets in their own home. I follow their routines, ensure they have food, water, and attention, and monitor their well-being. I keep owners updated with messages and photos so they know their pets are happy and cared for.
About: Since a very young age taking care of animals have been a passion of mine. Always trying to rescue and adopt all the doggies and kitties off the streets and helping them with anything I could. I currently work in an animal hospital as a veterinary nurse and I take care and treat pets on a daily basis. I can handle pets of various sizes and temperaments, is all about making them feel safe and comfortable. Making sure they get the respect love and care they deserve is my priority. I’m very passionate about pets and love them and care for them as if they were my own. I currently work full time at an animal hospital. When it comes to boarding doggies I’ll take them to work with me during the day and during the night they will be at my home. My days off they will be free around the house under supervision. At work they will be in a room or cage according to their size but they get to go out at least 3 times a day while I do my work shift. We have a yard in the animal hospital and they get to run and play. Once I’m home I have a semi fenced yard and they get to play and run some more under supervision. I have cats in my home so during the night the doggies will have to sleep in a crate for safety reasons.

About: I grew up in a big family with lots of pets including dogs, cats, rodents, and birds. I have been successful in self-taught basic training of dogs. I am a graduate student who plans to have pet care be a source of income that fits around my schedule. I have classes during the week and currently live on campus which is why I cannot provide care in my home. I have owned many pets in my life and have cared for different ages from puppies and kittens to seniors. I enjoy promoting enrichment activities and physical exercise.

About: I’ve been caring for pets since I was in school—neighbors and friends would often ask for my help and thank me with small tips, which I used to buy school supplies. Over the years, my love for animals grew, and I eventually adopted my own dog, whom I’ve been caring for for the past nine years. I offer flexible availability on weekends at any time of day, which can be especially helpful in case of last-minute needs or emergencies. I kindly ask that you notify me at least three days in advance for any pet-sitting requests. I prioritize caring for pets in the comfort of their own home, as familiar surroundings can help reduce stress. I also enjoy taking them for walks in their neighborhood to keep them active and happy. I would have flexibility on weekends at any time of the day for greater comfort or if an emergency arises. 2 days before let me know about day sitting. Thank you I would care for your pet in the comforts of their space, sometimes it is easier when they recognize the space and additionally take them out for walks in their neighborhood.

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.
“Marta was absolutely wonderful with my three cats during my trip! She gave me daily updates and photos that put my mind at ease, and I could tell they were comfortable and well cared for. She made sure they were fed on schedule, kept their area tidy, and gave them plenty of love and attention. Even my shy one warmed up to her, which says a lot. I came home to happy, relaxed cats thanks to her care. I would definitely book Marta again and highly recommend her to anyone looking for a trustworthy and caring sitter! 🐾”

Sarah is getting to know my skittish older dog, and she’s been so responsive and helpful in the process. She’s always on time and follows my millions of crazy directions to a T. We’re working toward hopefully getting him comfortable enough with Sarah to get his insulin injections. Going great so far! Thanks!

With Craig (and his wife) you are in absolutely the best hands. I can't thank them enough for taking care of Buddy while I went away for a week. My dog is a lg hair mini dachshund who is a very sensitive, loving, affectionate dog but he has trouble warming up at first to brand new people. Craig understood the situation right away and in no time Buddy was happily playing with him, walking and even giving kisses. My neighbors all remarked how Buddy seemed to handle my absence like a champ this time without the saddness/depression he had shown other times before. Such a relief to have found someone that I can totally trust and depend on to take care of my lil guy. Thanks again Craig you are a life saver.

We booked Jalyne last minute for a 5 day long trip to take care of our older dog with Cushings disease. I was a little nervous but after our initial meet and greet I knew Jalyne was caring, trustworthy and responsible. We asked for A LOT of check ins and she made every single one of them count. She was compassionate to our girl and we’d one hundred percent hire Jalyne again.

Youjin is the best in the neighborhood! My dog was so well taken care of, and I could tell he was happy and comfortable with her. She was caring, reliable, and kept me updated during each visit. I’m so glad I found her and would definitely book with her again!

I’ve only had one experience with Janelle so far but I know/hope there will be more. I reached out very last minute (two days before needing help) and she responded right away, was able to make a FaceTime meet & greet and my puppy loved her. She was lovely to work with and I felt like my little 3 month old guy was in great loving hands.

Bruna took great care of our dog, Daphne, and made our first experience hiring a dog walker a fantastic one. She was reliable, communicative, and gave us peace of mind while we were away. Daphne was happy and well cared for, and it was clear she was in great hands. We wouldn't hesitate to book with Bruna again and highly recommend her to anyone looking for someone trustworthy to care for their pet!

Cynthia is the best pet sitter I’ve ever had. She is incredibly reliable, caring, and communicative throughout the entire stay. She truly went above and beyond for my dog Albert. Albert is on five different medications, and Cynthia handled his medication schedule perfectly. During a weekend heat wave, she even came back to turn on the A/C to make sure my pets stayed comfortable. Albert was so happy and relaxed when I got home, which gave me complete peace of mind. I would absolutely book with Cynthia again and highly recommend her to anyone looking for a trustworthy, attentive, and compassionate pet sitter.

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 Scarsdale 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 .
