“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.”
“Andrea provided the best care to my two kitties! She was amazing in giving updates, following instructions and immediately made friends with my girls, who don't warm up to strangers quickly!”
“Kamryn was great! She was very patient with our shy girl and stuck with it to start to earn her trust. She was also responsive and very accommodating when we needed to adjust timing/location slightly.”
About: I’m an animal-lover and proud pawrent of 13 years with experience caring for all kinds of dogs with all kinds of personalities (even the occasional cat). Whether you need frequent walkings, short to long-term sittings, or the occasional drop-in, I’ll make sure that your doggo feels loved, cared for, and most importantly, knows they’re a good girl or boy ❤️. I am currently a student and work part-time at my school during the academic year. In the summertime, I have open availability. During the academic year, I create a flexible schedule allowing for adequate time to focus on pet care. I like to meet dogs where they are at while applying safety awareness. I focus on identifying triggers for reactive furry friends. I also implement safeguards to ensure the security and safety of our furry friends.
“This is the second time Catie has stayed with our dogs. She did a great job sticking to their schedule. The dogs were happy and relaxed when we got home. Catie sent tons of pictures and texted whenever she had a question or was unsure about something. She is extremely responsible. Already have her booked for our next getaway.”
“This is our second time using Adam. My dogs were very excited to see him return. I have 2 very high drive, competition dogs who need a lot of stimulation and exercise. They also have special diets. Adam had everything under control. House was spotless when we returned. Highly recommend Dawn/Adam.”
“This was our second time booking with Jacqueline, and once again she took wonderful care of our dog and cat. She was communicative, reliable, and gave us great peace of mind throughout our trip. We especially appreciated her flexibility when our return flight was significantly delayed—she was willing to adjust her schedule to make sure our pets were well cared for. We came home to happy pets and a well-cared-for home. We’d gladly book with Jacqueline again and highly recommend her!”
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.
“What a wonderful cat sitter! She took great care of my three cats, and was very gracious about a misunderstanding on my end. Great to work with. She house sat for me and also left the place in a wonderful condition. I would be happy to leave my babies with her again, fully recommended.”
“Jalyne did a fantastic job taking care of our dog while we were away for a week. She followed all our instructions, left the house clean, and our dog happy and well cared for! Highly recommend Jalyne.”
“Heather was absolutely AMAZING. From our initial meet and greet I knew she was such a kind soul who my dog, Fred gravitated towards. She was so kind and so responsible it really put me at ease knowing my dog was being well looked after. She was extremely accommodating by turning up at my apt at 630am the day I left early and even took my pup on a walk before i landed back on a red eye flight! I would HIGHLY recommend Heather. She kept me updated with pics of my dog throughout my week away, stayed at my apartment and looked after it so well. You could not find a better dog sitter! BOOK HEATHER NOW!!”
“Tenielle did a wonderful job caring for our pup! She kept us up to date with photos, followed our instructions for our dog’s schedule, and kept our home super clean. We’d definitely have her watch our dog again!”
“Hannah was amazing! We’re new to area and we’re so happy to hire her. She’s so good with dogs and gave me lots of updates and kept me posted on everything. Definitely will be using her again in the future!!”
“We were fortunate to have Dana house sit for us on relatively short notice. She watched our 13 year old dog and 2 cats. We received updates and came home to some happy pets and a tidy house.”
About: I am A freshman at Pace University, I have a lot of free time during the day and I would love to spend it with dogs! At home, my parents have two vizslas, Belle and Beau, that I absolutely adore, and my sister has a boxer, Brady, that is an absolute gem! I would look after him in her apartment in DC while she was busy. I enjoy walking and playing with all sorts of dogs! Down the street from me was a 200-pound Rhodesian ridgeback named Duke. Belle, Duke, and I enjoyed very active plays out in the yard. As a dog walker/sitter, your dog and I will enjoy long walks, active plays, and an adequate amount of bathroom breaks. I decided to follow the cliche "do what you love and you'll never work a day in your life", I love spending time with animals, so it will never feel like a job for me.
“I was out of the country for ten days and had never used a sitter in this area before. I am fortunate to have found Janelle. Not only was she a joy to communicate with, but she was also highly professional and kept me in the loop the entire time. My dog Luna has separation anxiety (which has worsened with Covid since we work from home and rarely leave her alone). To be completely honest, I can be a bit neurotic when it comes to leaving Luna with anyone - and I was very anxious about my trip. Janelle went above and beyond - sending videos and pictures and keeping me informed every day. I had a wonderful trip, and the peace of mind she provided was priceless. I HIGHLY RECOMMEND her services and hope to use her again in the future.”
About: I have extensive experience caring for a wide variety of pets—dogs, cats, birds, rabbits, reptiles, and more! From walking and feeding to bathing and overnight sitting, I’ve been the trusted go-to for family, friends, and neighbors. I truly believe animals bring a special kind of peace, and in return, I give them all the love, attention, and care they deserve. Your pet will be in safe, loving hands while you’re away, so you can relax knowing they’re well cared for. I am a Summer School Teacher working Monday through Thursday from 8am-2:30pm. I am available during evening hours during the week, and usually all day on weekends. As well as most holidays. I approach caring for pets with love, patience, and a deep understanding of their individual needs. Whether in my home or a client’s home, I prioritize creating a comfortable and stress-free environment. I make sure to stick to their usual routines—feeding, walking, and playtime—so they feel secure and at ease. If I’m in your home, I ensure everything remains as you left it, with added attention to your pet’s safety and well-being. In my home, I provide a cozy, safe space where your pet will get plenty of affection and care. My goal is for your pet to feel like they’re with family, wherever they are.
“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”

This is the third time Catie has stayed with our two dogs. As expected, everything went extremely well. She keeps the dogs on their schedule which makes everything run smoothly. The dogs were relaxed and happy when we got home which is all we can ask for. Catie is great!
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.

Samantha is a wonderful dog-sitter! She took great care of our senior pups over a weekend at our home. She updated us regularly on how they were doing by both text and photo. She left the house in good order. The pups are happy to see us but not unduly stressed. I’m glad she was available and would definitely use her again.
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!
We could not be happier with Amanda and the love she showed our babies. We have multiple cats and one dog that she showered in attention and care over the weekend. We received continuous updates on their behavior and the cutest photos! Our dog even ripped the arm off her favorite sloth and she sewed it back on!! We’ve had many care takers over the years and Amanda is TOP notch!!!

FAQs for House Sitting - Scarsdale
Frequently asked questions about Rover
The average cost for House Sitting in Scarsdale on Rover is $85.47 per night (as of August 2026). However, all sitters set their own rates based on experience, location, and availability.
Rover makes budgeting the cost of House Sitting easy. As long as your dates and pet profiles are correct, the price you see before you book is the same price you pay for House Sitting. For more information on service fees, click here .
As of August 2026, there are 18,476 sitters on Rover offering House Sitting across Scarsdale. Enter your ZIP code to see which available sitters are closest to your home.
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 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 short introductory meeting between you, your pet, and a sitter. It can take place in person or virtually, although we recommend in-person so that your pet can get to know your sitter 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. Most pet parents and sitters on Rover welcome Meet & Greets because the process can give confidence and peace of mind for service experiences, especially for longer stays or first-time bookings.
Sitters on Rover set their own cancellation policy, which you can find on their profile under their calendar availability.
Cancelling before a booking begins and before the sitter's cutoff time qualifies you for a full refund. Same-day cancellations for walks, day care, and drop-ins follow the full refund policy. Otherwise, for dog boarding and house sitting, you will receive a 50% refund for the first seven days of the booking and a 100% refund for the remaining days when you cancel the same day a booking should begin.
If your sitter needs to cancel within seven days of the booking's start date, then our reservation protection will kick in. This means our support team works with you to find a replacement sitter.
Yes, you can find sitters who have experience with handling special pet needs in Scarsdale. On Rover:
- 89% of sitters can help with special care needs
- 93% can help with giving oral medications or injections
- 97% 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.
