“Catie is a total rockstar! We have three dogs and three cats—a full-blown pet circus—and she handled them all like a pro. Each one has their own little quirks and Catie somehow kept everyone happy, fed, and loved. She sent us the best photo updates (seriously frame-worthy), and we came home to a house that was cleaner than we left it! It’s always tough to travel when you’ve got a small zoo at home, but Catie gave us total peace of mind. If she can handle our crew, she can handle anything. Highly recommend!”
“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.”
About: Hi! My name is Jenn and I rescued Jasper 3 years ago. We love taking walks at the Kensico Dam, going to the beach and the dog park. I am a reliable dog walker and animal lover with experience caring for happy pups. I treat every dog like my own family. You get safe walks, fun playtime, and great photo updates every single time. I am currently working from home with a flexible schedule, so I have plenty of time to care for your pet! I am available daily for walks and sitting on the weekends. Your pet will get maximum engagement and company during the all services as if they were my own. Caring for pets requires following their specific routines and keeping them safe during walks or daytime sitting. I have a friendly dog to keep your fur baby company and I will provide photos and messages about your pet's service.
About: I’ve been surrounded by animals my entire life! I grew up with two dogs, three cats, and five hamsters, so there’s never been a dull moment! My Beagle, Argos, was my first best friend. He was full of energy, and we were practically inseparable! I also cared for him through his senior years, which taught me so much about patience and understanding older pets. Then came Sumo, our Chow Chow, who was the complete opposite! He acted more like a cat, loved his independence, and enjoyed long walks. I’ve also cared for my neighbor’s Pit Bull and a family member’s Australian Shepherd. I’ve even traveled all the way to Amsterdam to dog sit for family! I’ve also volunteered at animal shelters with both cats and dogs, where I gained experience working with stressed and nervous animals and learned how important patience and a gentle approach can be. From energetic pups to laid-back seniors, I love getting to know each animal’s unique personality. Big or small, I’ll treat your furry friend like my own, and I can’t wait to meet them! 🐾 I work remotely part-time, which gives me plenty of flexibility to care for your furry friends! I’m available Monday through Thursday after 4 PM and have completely open availability on Fridays, Saturdays, and Sundays. Whether your pet needs a walk, a drop-in visit, or some extra love and attention while you’re away, I’m happy to work around their routine! I have a large, fully fenced backyard where your furry friends can safely run around, play, and get plenty of exercise! Outdoor playtime is always supervised, so your pet will never be left outside alone. I love spending time with animals, whether it’s playing fetch, going for walks, or just relaxing and giving them lots of cuddles! I always make sure pets feel safe, comfortable, and right at home. I’ll follow their usual feeding schedules, routines, and any special instructions you provide. When caring for pets in your home, I’ll treat your space with respect and make sure your furry friend feels just as loved and cared for as they would with you. I’m also happy to send pictures and updates throughout the day so you know they’re in good hands!
“Belkys was amazing! Our first time leaving our elderly dog with a sitter for so long, so we were nervous at first. So glad we chose Belkys- she did such a great job keeping us updating and making sure our pup was well taken care of. Would definitely book again”
“Joyce accepted my last minute request for house sitting on New Years, and she was great with the pets and followed all instructions thoroughly. We would love to have her 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 had my own pets since I can remember ranging from cats, dogs, iguanas, hamsters, fish, salamanders, hermit crabs, and even chicks. Growing up, I spent my summers on my grandfather's farm raising cows, horses, pigs, cats, dogs, chickens and a rooster. I don't have and human kids but I have raised many fur babies. I am the go-to person for family and friends, especially for pets with very specific care instructions. I am in NYC; I drive and have a pretty flexible schedule at this time. My career outside of pets includes Human Resources Management and Operation Director at different schools. I am currently working for myself as a treat maker so I am very flexible with time. I also have a clean license and reliable transportation. I am currently in NYC but can travel to Westchester County and northern NJ as well. I love when a client gives me detailed instructions and will follow them to a tee. I am a very organized person with a high attention to detail who often goes above and beyond in everything I do. Because I have worked with children and at schools, I have been fingerprinted by NYS/NYC, Dept of Health and the NYC Dept of Ed.
About: I have had pets since I was young, taking care of them and others, It was my bread and butter. I now working in an emergency hospital as a surgical assistant. I have a good balance between my work and personal life pet setting fits into my schedule, also having my own transportation and part-time schedules I provide care as needed and instructed, with my best judgment otherwise. Working in VetMed I have a good idea of standard pet care regardless of size, age, or breed
“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!”
“Cecilia was the best! She showed lots of patience with my dog, Jojo, and she never hesitated to ask questions. I also really appreciate how often Cecilia would communicate via text. Good updates and even better pictures!”
About: I have always had a soft spot for all animals. Growing up with a dog, I’ve always wanted one by my side and I can’t wait to help you all out and give your dog love and care! I dog sit a lot, for neighbors and friends of friends, and have plenty of experience with animals of all ages. I am currently a first year doctor of physical therapy student, so my life currently operates around school. That being said, I always have time for a mental break, or any stress relieveing tactic, so I try my hardest to make time for those things as well! I believe a pet fits into yhT. I follow any and all precautions the homeowner wants me to. It is your home and you know the safest way to do things. I would never make you or your pet feel uncomfortable, or scared, and I hope I can be an outlet of trust and love!
About: I've helped take care of my partners two dogs, one young and one senior dog. I absolutely love caring and playing with them whenever I am around. I am currently self-employed so I am able to flex my schedule. I am a mental health therapist so I will need a couple of days to make sure my schedule is appropriate for your pet care. In my own home, my cats are on a feeding schedule with medication. I spend lots of time petting and playing with them. I will be able to do the same in your own home. With dogs, I can take them for regular walks, play with them, and feed them accordingly. I of course, will adhere to whatever your schedule/routine for your pet is and what they are used to to make them as comfortable and happy as possible.
About: I love spending quality, active playtime with dogs and cats, treating them with the same endless love, attention, and care as my own family. Having raised pets for nearly 10 years, I understand how deeply they mean to you, and I make it my top priority to ensure they feel safe, cherished, and completely at home while you are away. On weekdays, I am available during the mornings up until 12:30 PM, and then again in the evenings starting after 6:00 PM. If weekends work better for you, I have full availability and am completely open anytime Saturday or Sunday. Let me know what time works best on your end! I take care of pets right in the comfort of their own homes! I'm a responsible, reliable, and trustworthy pet sitter who will treat your furry family members with the love and care they deserve.
“Domenica stayed with my dog Kosmos for three nights. I can only recommend her services. She was very responsive, sent me updates, and took great care of him. Kosmos often gets anxious when I’m traveling, which I can see based on how he acts while I’m away and right after I’m back. But this time he was completely relaxed and happy, which is entirely Domenica’s accomplishment.”
About: I’ve taken care of animals my whole life! I love playing and walking with dogs, but also love the downtime and chill attitudes cats have. Taking care of pets brings me a lot of joy and excited to care for your fur babies! I’m currently working a fully remote job. I live an active lifestyle so rest assured your dog will be walked! If you have a cat, I can also come by during the workday to check in on them. I live in a two bedroom apartment with my partner with wonderful natural light and non-smoking environment. Your pets will have peace of mind that the place is just for them.
“My dog just went through a few stressful events that has made him very anxious around strangers but he was very comfortable with Joe. We did a meet and greet before booking he did not show signs of anxiousness; in fact he took to Joe immediately licking him on his face. Joe then watched him all day on back to back days over the weekend which went very well. My dog was relaxed all day and did not have any issues. Joe is very flexible, priced extremely reasonable and I look forward to using him again in the future.”
About: I have a love for animals and it shows in my level of care. I am a future veterinarian. Growing up my house always resembled a zoo, I’ve had dogs , cats, rabbits , turtles, fish , iguanas , birds, and even a crow. Yes a crow! Lol. I was always that person to bring home animals and take care of them whether I asked my mother if I can have them or not. I’m a caring soul with a caring heart and I hope to see and connect with you and your fur baby soon. A side from being a mother my other full time job would be this. I have a large amount of free time so my schedule is open. As things start to pick up availability is subject to change. I offer a safe and controlled home for your fur baby to relax comfortably. My home is clean and animal friendly. Plently of space for long walks and new scents.

Pet parents share their Rover experiences - Scarsdale
Catie has stayed with our dogs several times. She is great about sending pictures every day along with some commentary every so often. Catie doesn’t hesitate to contact us if she has a question which we really appreciate. My dogs are completely relaxed and happy when we get home. Highly recommend!
Yuri was great. We contacted her for a last minute trip and she stopped by so we could review the different types of food for our three dogs. Although we were uncertain about leaving our dogs at home, we eased our minds with frequent photos and updates. She was very flexible with our requests and there was no delay in any communications that took place. We recommend her without any reservations and we look forward to requesting her assistance in the future. Thank you Yuri.
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.
Madison took phenomenal care of our cat Romeo when we were out of town. She made us feel at ease that Romeo was well taken care of and receiving great care and plenty of love. She sent lots of pictures and was sure to ask questions whenever needed. We would undoubtably rebook with Madison for our next time out of town!

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 Scarsdale 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 Scarsdale 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 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!
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 , 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 .
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 .
sitters on Rover set their own , 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.
