“Celeste was amazing! She was punctual and we received a notification each time she arrived at the house and when she left. She also sent us a few photos of Laila while visiting! We felt so comfortable that Laila was being very well cared for in our absence. Highly recommend Celeste.”

About: Hi! 🐾❤️ Animals have always had a special place in my heart! I have over 9 years of experience caring for my own pets and 4 years of experience with Rover and fostering. From playful young ones to senior care who need a little extra patience and love, I’m comfortable caring for pets at every stage of life. I understand that pets are family, and I treat every animal in my care as if they were my own. My goal is to make your pets feel safe, loved, and comfortable while giving you peace of mind when you’re away. I love getting to know each pet’s unique personality, keeping them happy, and making sure they receive all the attention and affection they deserve. I’m responsible, patient, attentive, and happy to accommodate your pet’s individual personality, needs, and routine. I understand how important it is to trust someone with your pets, so I’ll always do my best to give you peace of mind while you’re away. I’m also happy to send regular photo updates so you can see how your little one is doing. Whether your pet is energetic and loves adventures or prefers relaxing and cuddling on the couch, I’ll make sure they get the care and attention they deserve. I can’t wait to meet your fur babies! 🐶🐱💕 I am currently working full time Monday-Friday with fridays work from home and my hours are adjustable between 730-330 and will be available after 3 on week days and free all day Saturday and Sunday. I am also willing to accommodate if needed. I will do what I need to do to ensure yourself and your pet feel comfortable and do what your pet is used too in there routine and comfortable with.If this is a puppy I will help crate and potty train if needed. I do have experience with all sorts of dogs large or small. And cats as well!

“Glenn and Diana were the best sitters ever! We have a very hyper, young lab who does not like to be left alone. We have never used a professional pet sitting service before and Glenn and Diana provided us with not only did they provide excellent pet care, but they were extremely flexible with several last minute schedule changes. They also helped us navigate the Rover app to help correct errors on our part as well as giving our dog some short training sessions with sit, down, and stay while they were spending time with her. Glenn and Diana played a lot of fetch with the dog and gave our cat tons of attention too. Great sitters who really put us at ease! We highly recommend them and Rover!”

“Kaitlyn was so amazing! From the moment we did a meet and greet, she was so great with Millie (who is a high-energy pitbull lab mix). She was very respectful of our house and listened to our directions for caring for Millie. We came home to a very happy, well-cared for dog. She sent us a bunch of amazing pictures that made us feel very comfortable and happy while we were away. Kaitlyn is a great communicator, and messaged us back quickly each time. We already have asked her to dog sit again, and Millie can't wait to play with her new friend soon! Thanks Kaitlyn! :)”

About: My name is Brooke and I’m looking for Dog walking/Pet sitting clients close to the Malta area! I moved into the Grandeville apartments about a month ago, so preference to anyone that lives in these apartments or anywhere within a 10-15 minute drive! I’m a transplant from Philly so I’m currently working a few at-home jobs, which makes my availability completely open for your pet-sitting needs. I’ve lived with dogs my entire life and I’ve had experience with dogs from puppies, to elders, small 5 lb breeds to Great Danes, couch potatoes to super active. I’ve also watched dogs who needed special training or who had special needs (like seizures.) I have no breed or size restrictions. I do walks, drop in visits, boarding, and staying within your home. I do prefer repeat clients over one-off sessions but contact me if you have any questions! I am currently working from home running a small business! So I have open availability for your pet. I do not have my own dog at the moment, so all of my pet-loving energy is going towards yours! With dog walking, I prefer times between 9am and 10pm. I have an apartment in a complex that is incredibly pet friendly, with a fenced in dog park and dog washing station. I try my hardest to make sure that pets are comfortable in my home. In your home, I try to make sure that I communicate with you as much as possible, to make sure that you feel safe with me in your home and taking care of your pet!

About: Hi, I’m Kaitlin Morton! Animals have always been a huge part of my life—growing up, we always had dogs, and that love for pets only grew stronger as I got older. I spent 5 years working at Mohawk Hudson as the Admissions Supervisor and also served as one of the Animal Cruelty Officers. During that time, I worked with pets of all breeds, sizes, and personalities, which taught me patience, understanding, and how to provide the best care possible. The “bad nuggets” have always been my favorite—I love working with animals who might need a little extra time, reassurance, or structure. Whether it’s playtime, cuddles, training reinforcement, or just sticking to their daily routine, I’ll treat your pet like one of my own. My goal is always to make them feel safe, happy, and loved while you’re away. I am very flexible with my schedule, I can work most days at most times. I will always have time for the pups, hope to meet your fur babies How I Care for Pets in My Home: In my home, pets become part of the family. I make sure they are comfortable, safe, and feel right at home. They’ll get plenty of playtime, walks, and snuggles, along with a routine that’s as close to their own as possible. I keep a clean, pet-friendly space with cozy areas for them to rest, and I always supervise play to make sure everyone is happy and safe

FAQs for Pet Sitting - Schaghticoke

Frequently asked questions about Rover

The average cost of Pet Sitting in Schaghticoke is $22 per visit as of October 2026. Most bookings cost between $22 and $22 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 October 2026, there are 1,115 sitters on Rover offering Pet Sitting across Schaghticoke. 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 .

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.

Yes, you can find sitters who have experience with handling special pet needs in Schaghticoke. On Rover:

  • 90% of sitters can help with special care needs
  • 93% can help with giving oral medications or injections
  • 95% 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 .

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.
