“Pam is very responsible. She even agreed to come for an extra visit beforehand to learn my cat’s care routine. She looked after my cat thoughtfully—not only taking care of food and water, but also paying attention to her emotional well-being. Highly recommended.”

I met Mia for a walkthrough before my trip, and she was very professional and personable. She obviously cares very much about animals, and I trusted her completely with my cat. Thank you, Mia!”

“!!WOW!! We had such an amazing experience with Andrew and we are thrilled to know we can continue to rely on him to help us watch our little babies! We had last minute sitting changes and needed to find someone to watch our two dogs during a holiday weekend the night before. Andrew was quick to respond and worked magic with his schedule in order to help us on such short notice! His communication while we were away was fantastic, full of sweet messages and pictures!! We felt so comforted knowing Andrew was there to be with them and take care of them. We will absolutely be asking him to help us out for all of our future trips and sitting needs for them!”

About: I’m an experienced dog foster with SPDA, providing temporary care for dogs who need a safe, loving home while they wait for their next step. I also have experience caring for dogs for extended periods of time, including following their routines, feeding schedules, walks, playtime, and individual needs. I’m patient, responsible, and attentive to each dog’s personality and comfort. I treat every pet in my care like family and understand how important it is to give pet parents peace of mind while they’re away. I have a flexible schedule and can accommodate pet care throughout the week, including occasional and short-term bookings. I’m available for walks, drop-in visits, and boarding depending on the dates and your pet’s needs. I’m happy to work with each owner’s schedule and provide consistent, reliable care. I provide a calm, clean, and pet-friendly environment where pets can feel safe and comfortable. I currently don’t have any other pets in my home, so your pet can have their own dedicated space if needed. As a foster with SPDA, I understand the importance of patience, supervision, and following each pet’s individual routine and needs. I’m also happy to follow specific instructions from pet parents to make their pets feel at home.

About: I'm a huge animal lover and have always enjoyed spending time with dogs of all breeds, sizes, and personalities. I have a dog of my own, so I understand how important it is to find someone you can trust to care for your pet as if they were their own. I'm patient, responsible, attentive, and love making sure dogs feel happy, comfortable, and cared for. Whether it's going for walks, playing, keeping them company, or simply making sure they stick to their routine, I'll treat your dog with plenty of love and attention. My goal is to give both you and your pup peace of mind while you're away! I have a a full time job as a lab tech but don’t start work until 2pm on weekdays, so I am free all morning for check ins and walks! Weekends are open all day but please refer to my calendar! I prioritize making every pet feel safe, comfortable, and cared for in their own environment. Since I offer walks, drop-in visits, and in-home pet sitting, I make it a priority to follow each owner's instructions and maintain their pet's normal routine as closely as possible. I always make sure pets are supervised, secure, and have access to fresh water, food, and anything else they need. During walks, I pay close attention to my surroundings and keep dogs safely leashed. During check-ins and sitting visits, I provide plenty of attention, playtime, and companionship while respecting your home and keeping everything clean and tidy. I also believe communication is important, so I’m happy to send regular updates and photos to let you know how your pet is doing. Above all, I want owners to feel confident that their pets are in good hands while they're away!

About: I’ve been caring for dogs since I was 12, and over the years, taking care of animals has become something I genuinely love. My family and friends have always trusted me to care for their pups while they travel, and I treat every dog like they’re family. Whether it’s going on a long walk, playing a good game of fetch, or simply spending time with them, I love getting to know each dog’s personality and making sure they feel safe, happy, and cared for. I know how hard it can be to leave your fur baby at home while you’re at work, so my goal is to give you peace of mind while you’re gone—with plenty of love, playtime, and updates along the way. 🐶💗 Your pup won’t just be “staying” with me—they’ll be getting a little vacation of their own! 🐾 I work fully remotely, which gives me a flexible schedule and the ability to offer dog walks throughout the day, as well as on weekends. I love having the opportunity to step away from my workday, get some fresh air, and spend time with a furry friend! I’m able to be flexible with walk times and can work with your schedule and your pup’s routine. I’ll always treat your pup with the same care and attention I would give my own. During walks, I focus on making sure they get plenty of exercise, fresh air, and attention while keeping them safe and comfortable. I’m happy to follow your instructions regarding their routine, walking preferences, leash habits, and any other needs. My goal is for your dog to have a fun, safe, and stress-free experience—and for you to feel completely comfortable knowing they’re in good hands! 🐾💕

“Karen was absolutely wonderful with our cat, Mia. This was our first time using Rover, and naturally we were a little nervous, but Karen immediately put our minds at ease. She was professional, reliable, and incredibly communicative throughout our entire trip. After every visit, she sent detailed updates with photos, letting us know exactly how Mia was doing, how much she ate, how she was behaving, and anything she noticed around the apartment. She also went above and beyond by keeping an eye on the AC, replenishing food and litter when needed, and paying attention to all the little details that made a big difference. Mia is a very shy cat who takes time to warm up to new people, and Karen was so patient and understanding with her. Even when Mia became fearful and scratched her, Karen remained calm, compassionate, and professional, always respecting Mia's boundaries while continuing to provide excellent care. Thanks to Karen, we were able to truly enjoy our vacation knowing our little girl was in caring and capable hands. We are incredibly grateful for the kindness, patience, and dedication she showed throughout the week. We would not hesitate to book Karen again and highly recommend her to anyone looking for a thoughtful, dependable, and experienced pet sitter.”

About: I’ve had many pets as a young girl and family friends who knew we loved pets would always invite us over to pet watch them. I’m currently working a full time job but available after work and Sundays. I’m looking to spend more time with furry friends and just spend my extra time with them. I love bringing dogs outside into the yard and allowing them to run around with me. I also like pets who like to be a cuddle bug too.

About: I’m 47 years old, and dogs have always been a part of my life. I grew up in a home where there was always a dog, so caring for and being around dogs has been something very natural to me for as long as I can remember. I truly love animals, and dogs are especially close to my heart. I understand that every dog has its own personality, needs, and routines, and I believe they deserve patience, affection, attention, and respect. For the past 7 years, I have cared for our rescue dog, Angel, who is a very important part of our family. I take care of his daily needs, including feeding him, taking him for walks, spending time with him, and making sure he feels safe, loved, and cared for. I would treat your dog with the same kindness and attention I give to my own. My goal is for you to feel confident knowing that your pet is in caring and responsible hands while you are away. I currently work part-time, which gives me plenty of flexibility to care for your dogs on weekdays, less Thursdays because I am full that day. I’m available for walks, drop-in visits, and spending time with your pets when they need companionship and care. I will always make sure your dog receives the attention and love they deserve. Your pet’s safety and well-being are my top priorities. I provide a calm, loving, and safe environment where dogs can feel comfortable and cared for. I follow each pet’s routine and your instructions carefully, including feeding, walks, medications if needed and provided with clear instructions, and any special needs or preferences you share with me. When caring for your dog in your home, I will treat your home and your pet with the same respect and care I would want for my own. I understand how important it is to trust the person looking after your furry family member, so I will communicate with you, keep you updated, and make sure your dog receives plenty of attention, affection, and supervision while you are away.

Cynthia is fantastic. She’s taken care of my cats several times now, and is very responsible and communicative. My older cat needs medication daily, and sometimes is not as cooperative about taking it as he should be. Cynthia knows how to handle him and get him to take it regardless of his mood. I love getting the photos after she finishes up each visit so I know they are well. If you are going away and need someone to look after your furballs, I highly recommend Cynthia.

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.

I cannot speak highly enough of Brandon. My shy boys have really warmed to him over 4 engagements across a couple of years. He is very attentive, takes good care of the boys, and respectful of my house (very important to me when someone is in my house when I'm away). On this trip I had to extend my travels by a couple of days and fortunately Brandon was flexible and stayed on an extra 2 days which helped massively in a very stressful situation. I feel lucky to have found Brandon and know I can safely go away knowing my cats are in such safe hands

FAQs for Pet Sitting - Scarsdale

Frequently asked questions about Rover

The average cost of Pet Sitting in Scarsdale is $28 per visit as of November 2026. Most bookings cost between $19 and $48 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 26,455 sitters on Rover offering Pet Sitting across Scarsdale. 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 Scarsdale. On Rover:

  • 83% of sitters can help with special care needs
  • 87% can help with giving oral medications or injections
  • 94% 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.

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.
