“Lee was great. We met twice prior to leaving town just so we were on the same page. We have a senior pup with some health issues which always concerns us when we go away, but Lee made us feel very comfortable while we were out of town. Our pup and kitties were well taken care of and we appreciate the care she gave all of them. Also, our house was nice and tidy when we returned which we really appreciated as well. Overall, a very good experience working with Lee. Just great. Thank you!”
“Sherri house-sat for us for 4 days. This was my first time leaving our two pups of 7 months and 16 months. I was a nervous wreck, but she made me feel at ease. She came over before we left to see the house, ask questions, and review the Google Document that was shared with information about the pups and the house. While we were away she kept in continuous conversation and sent pictures. She followed all of my instructions and did not leave the pups for more than the time we discussed. I highly recommend Sherri. She truly loves dogs. She will go above and beyond to be sure they are comfortable and that they enjoy their time while you're away.”
“Riley did a wonderful job taking care of Chester at our house. He was readily available to answer any questions about Chester while we were away. I will definitely rebook in the future!”
About: I’ve taken care of dogs since I was 16 year old. It started with watching my neighbors dogs! I have lots of experience with older dogs and puppies! I also have a 95lbs yellow lab at home that’s my own :) I have a 7am-3pm job Monday-Friday, and I am able to help walk a dog in the early morning time and or an evening walk for the dog! I can even do drop-in care for cats, lizards, ferrets, etc. I take care of dogs by giving them a nice long walk, playing with their dog toys with them, fetch, etc. I think physical activity is so important for dogs! Especially giving them love and attention.
“Kendra was so lovely to work with - she was friendly, understanding, and communicative. She was great about checking in with regular updates, and she took excellent care of our dogs and our home while we were away. Would definitely love to work with her again!”
“Margaret was awesome - our boy Cargo does not like being left alone and she was so accommodating with that as an overnight sitter. She also sent frequent updates. When we came back, Cargo acted as if we had only left for a few hours rather than an entire night!”
“Diana was fantastic and we would 100% book her again. Our two dogs took to her quickly at our initial meeting, which put me at great ease. She stayed in our home for 3 nights with our 11 month old puppy and our 14 year old dog. They both have completely different personalities and needs. Diana sent us videos and photos of the dogs, and little updates each day. The house was also well taken care of and looked as if no one had been here. We were able to enjoy our trip without worry and knew the dogs were in good hands. I would definitely recommend her for anyone looking for a sitter.”
About: I’ve always loved dogs and truly enjoy spending time with them! I have a 4-year-old dog of my own who is friendly, playful, and gets along great with other dogs. I’m comfortable caring for dogs of different personalities and love giving them plenty of attention, playtime, walks, and cuddles. When your pup is in my care, I’ll treat them like one of my own and make sure they feel safe, comfortable, and loved while you’re away. I know how important it is to have someone you can trust with your pet, and I’ll do my best to give you peace of mind with regular updates and lots of love for your furry friend! 🐶❤️ I’m available most weekends and have more flexibility to spend time with your pup. Monday through Friday, I work from 6:30 AM to 3:00 PM. Before work, I always make sure my own dog gets outside for some morning exercise and attention. When I get home, we spend time playing and relaxing together in our fenced-in yard. Your pup will be welcomed into our routine and given plenty of love, attention, and playtime! Your dog’s safety and comfort are my top priorities. I have a fenced-in yard where dogs can safely play and get some exercise, and I’ll always supervise outdoor time. I have a friendly 4-year-old dog who gets along great with other dogs and can provide a companion for your pup. I’ll make sure every dog in my care feels comfortable, secure, and treated like part of the family. I’m also happy to follow your dog’s normal routine, including feeding schedules, medications, walks, and any special instructions.
“Jessica is beyond amazing! I am a neurotic pet parent, one dog is a nervous wreck and she handled us all like it was nothing. We got daily updates, pictures and videos. The 3 pups loved having her over and we were so comfortable knowing they were being loved and taken care of. We have already booked her aga! 🖤”
About: As a former professional zookeeper, I know what it takes to provide the highest standard of care for exotic and domestic animals. I am an experienced pet sitter who has worked with various kinds of pets since childhood. I have experience with dogs both large and small, cats, rodents, insects, and more, all of which span different age groups and possess different medical needs. While I work full-time, I am very willing to work with you and your schedule to figure out how I can meet you and your pets' needs. I treat every pet under my care the same as I would treat my own and cater to each of their unique personalities and needs.
“Meredith did a wonderful job watching our border collie at our home for a week. She is very personable, conscientious, and provided great care to our dog. Meredith came to our home prior to our vacation to meet us and our dog, and to learn about what was expected of her. Meredith followed our instructions well, and left our home as clean as we left it for her. She really seems to enjoy being with dogs, and had fun with our quirky, affectionate border collie.”
“Liz took great care of my home and even better care of my two dogs while I was on vacation. She sent tons of pictures and daily updates. Liz will be my first call if and when I need a dog sitter again!”
About: Hii My name is Selena, i’ve been working with animals since I was 10 years old. I’ve had dogs and cats and taken care them myself. I am very understanding person considering i’ve had a lot of pets and also come from a big family. i’ve taken care of neighbors animals for a while and never had a complaint. pet care fits in my schedule because i pet sit part time. i am a full time college student but on weekend and nights i dog sit. In the summer i can dog sit full time since i wont be in school from weekdays to weekends. I care for pets in my clients home whatever way they need me to. If there pet is on a routine I stick to that routine to make sure when my client comes back they don’t have to start over with a new routine for their pets.
“I've used Marianna several times for my dog sitting needs, ranging from long weekends away, to week-long+ vacations. I have found her to be incredibly trustworthy and reliable, and excellent communicators. It's hard to hand someone keys to your house and your babies and leave town, but with Marianna I never had a worry. I know that my dogs are getting the best of care. My dogs range in age from 9 to 14 and they have special needs that she is able to care for. Again It's nice to enjoy your vacation knowing my dogs are cared for. I highly recommend Marianna.”
About: I have taken care of both cats and dogs my whole life of all different breeds, tempers, ages, and energy levels. I have also taken care of fish, horses, turtles and hamsters so I am a true lover of all animals. I am currently working part-time and am a student so i have lots of gaps and free time to take care of pets from being around them frequently so as not to be left alone as well as an active routine so would include dogs in my daily walks and take the time to play with them as well as cats indoors. As an experienced owner of energetic dogs large and small, small pets (hamsters, fish, guinea pigs) and cats of all temperaments (kitten to senior) I am well versed in the necessary activities a pet needs to thrive. Not only is company, food, and bathroom breaks required but also lots of stimulation, play, long walks, and exercise so your pet can flourish.
About: I’ve taken care of pets since I was 10 years old, and I have experience with everything from energetic puppies to senior dogs. One of my own dogs is very anxious, so I’m comfortable handling dogs that need extra patience and reassurance. I regularly walk, feed, bathe, and play with pets, and I can also give medication and help with basic training. Friends, neighbors, and family have always trusted me with their pets, and I truly enjoy making every dog feel safe, understood, and well cared for. I have a very flexible routine, which makes pet care easy to fit into my week. I’m available every weekend from Friday through Sunday for boarding or extended visits. During the week, I’m free every morning from 8 AM to 12 PM, Monday through Thursday. On Mondays and Wednesdays, I’m also available after 4:30 PM, and on Tuesdays and Thursdays I’m free after 7:30 PM, with additional availability from 3–5 PM. No matter the day, I make sure I have plenty of time to give your pet attention, exercise, and care. I care for pets in my clients’ homes, which helps dogs feel more comfortable by staying in a familiar environment. I always follow the owner’s routines and house rules to keep pets safe and calm, and I make sure the home stays clean and respectful while I’m there. Because I’m experienced, reliable, and attentive, I’m able to quickly learn each pet’s needs and keep them happy, safe, and relaxed in their own space.
“Amber was very patient and caring for our 2 dogs. One a senior lady who needs a lot of special attention and medications. She kept us updated and didn't hesitate to ask questions about their needs. Will definitely recommend and would love to have her take care of our doggies again.”
“Alyssa is very sweet, responsive, and responsible. She was wonderful with our cat, Margot, and I felt so reassured knowing Alyssa was at the house during the week we were away. She was also very tidy and respectful of our home. I will definitely be using Alyssa in the future and cannot recommend her enough!”
About: I have been working with dogs for 5 years now. I work at a dog daycare, training, grooming, and boarding facility when I am home from college. I have successfully completed packpro training and am also dog first aid and CPR certified. I have such a great love for dogs and would love nothing more than to continue to work with them while away in school. I am a full time student at SUNY Upstate medical University, working toward my doctorate in physical therapy, but my schedule is pretty open early mornings and late afternoons. Schedule is completely open on the weekends and very flexible. I am a trained professional in dog safety and will make sure it is my upmost priority to make sure your dog is in a safe environment at all times. My house is very close to a canal that is a perfect place to take dogs for a walk. There is also a park directly adjacent from my house that dogs would love to sniff around at. Very dog friendly neighborhood.

Pet parents share their Rover experiences - Seneca Knolls
Gilly was a wonderful in home overnight dog sitter! She was proactive, asked thoughtful questions, and took charge of Duke’s care with confidence and compassion. She communicated consistently, providing daily updates and photos that gave me great peace of mind while I was away\. Duke is a very anxious dog when I leave, and Gilly was especially gentle and patient with him. She spent time sitting with him, giving him comfort and companionship, and taking him for walks. I truly appreciated the care and attention she gave him. I highly recommend her to anyone seeking a caring and dependable pet sitter.
Nora stayed at my home with one of my three dogs, Ruca, for 5 nights. Communicating with Nora was a breeze, and I thoroughly enjoyed chatting with her. Nora provided me with updates throughout the day and sent plenty of photos of Ruca happily enjoy enjoying her time with Nora. Nora is extremely professional, but also super down to earth and friendly… I just love how much she loves animals and nature. We came home to find our home exactly as we left it I even think that when we did come home, our dog was bummed that it wasn’t Nora coming back. LOL. Will absolutely book Nora again in the future.

FAQs for House Sitting - Seneca Knolls
Frequently asked questions about Rover
As of October 2026, there are 318 sitters on Rover offering House Sitting across Seneca Knolls. 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 Seneca Knolls 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 Seneca Knolls 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 Seneca Knolls 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.
