About: I have had animals my whole life. I’m able to give dogs and cats medication and will treat them as my own while you’re away so you don’t have to worry. I used to travel a lot and I know how stressful it could be to find someone you can trust that will give your baby the best care. I currently work from home and have a big house with a fenced in yard so the dogs can get their exercise. My schedule is very flexible. Feel free to schedule a meet and greet before you book! I have a large fenced in yard and my home is away from high traffic areas. If your pup likes the water, I also have a pool. I can also crate your pup if needed. If your pup likes the car I can take them with me for the day.

About: I was a vet tech at the clinic I grew up by until recently, when I changed career fields. As a former vet tech, I am comfortable giving oral and injectable medications, working with special care animals (kidney disease/renal failure, epilepsy, diabetes, Cushings/Addisons, etc) and have wellbeing expertise beyond that of a typical sitter; if something goes wrong, I know protocol and when to get a vet involved. If you happen to have animals beyond just dogs and cats, I have large and small animal experience (livestock, especially horses, chickens, dogs of all sizes, cats, exotics) and pet sat for friends and family for years until I moved. I love animals and am looking forward to get to know yours! I'm working full time M-F but work nearby and have a lunch break in the middle of the day. I'm an active person and am happy to exercise your baby and give them lots of love. I care for your pets as if they were my own. I believe in not just doing what's necessary (feeding, potty breaks/cleaning the litter box) but also in giving mental and physical exercise. I'm happy to live on your pet or let them keep their distance according to their personality and needs.

About: Growing up with dogs taught me something early: pets are family. Outside of my full-time remote tech consulting gig, I provide high-touch based pet care for families throughout Westchester and Manhattan. My goal is simple: create a calm, trusted second home where your dog feels genuinely safe and loved. I intentionally keep bookings limited so every dog receives individualized attention, consistency, and companionship. Whether your pup is energetic and playful, senior, recovering from surgery, or simply loves a calm environment, I tailor care around their exact routine and personality. What makes Kristine different: ✓ 100% work-from-home flexibility ✓ Fenced backyard + Hudson River walks ✓ Real-time photo/video updates ✓ Pick-up/drop-off assistance available ✓ Medication administration experience ✓ Senior & post-surgery support ✓ Calm, low-volume household ✓ Overnight house sitting with light home care included For pet parents who home-cook meals, I’m also happy to prepare fresh dog meals in my home using your provided ingredients. For house sitting clients, I believe premium service should feel complete. In addition to caring for your pet, I help maintain peace of mind by bringing in packages/mail, taking out trash, watering plants, and keeping your home tidy. I’m building long-term relationships with both dogs and their owners. Many of my clients become repeat families, and that trust means everything to me. Let’s schedule a meet & greet and see if we’re a great fit for each other. 🤍 My work-from-home schedule provides complete flexibility for boarding, house sitting, walks, feeding, and bathing. I have my own vehicle to help with pick-ups and drop-offs. My home has a fenced backyard, and located close to the Hudson River, offering safe outdoor access and scenic trail walks. For house sitting, I maintain your pet's exact routine in their familiar environment while also helping collect mail/packages, watering plants, and light cleaning to ensure you return to a tidy home.

About: Dogs have been an important part of my life since I was a teenager, beginning with my family's Border Collie, Gracie. Over the years, I've personally cared for dogs of different breeds, sizes, ages and personalities, including dogs that required extra patience and attention. My professional pet-care experience includes working through Wag in both Florida and New York City. Altogether, I've walked and cared for approximately 60 dogs. That experience has taught me that every dog is different. Some are energetic and adventurous, while others need a calmer, more patient approach. What matters most to me is understanding what makes your dog comfortable and following your instructions carefully. I know how much trust it takes to put your pet—and your home—in someone else's hands. I take that responsibility seriously and want every owner to feel confident that their pet is being cared for by someone who genuinely cares about them. Pet care is my full-time focus, so I have a flexible schedule and plenty of availability throughout the week, including weekends. I'm available for dog walking, drop-in visits and house sitting, and I'm happy to work with each client's individual schedule and their pet's unique needs. Your pet's safety and your peace of mind are extremely important to me. I carefully follow each owner's instructions and routines, keep dogs securely leashed outdoors, stay aware of my surroundings, and make sure doors and entrances are secure. Communication is also very important to me. Through my experience with Wag, I regularly provided owners with a report after each walk so they knew how their dog was doing. I believe pet parents should feel informed and comfortable while their pet is in my care, and I'm always happy to provide updates.

About: As the owner of three dogs, I understand how important it is to have someone you can trust with your pets.

I currently work at a hospital 3 days a week so I’m available . I’m also an empty nester so I have time in my schedule . I follow each pet’s routine, provide fresh food and water, daily walks, playtime, lots of attention, and ensure they feel safe, comfortable, and loved. ..

About: Hi! My name is Anjané, and I have 4 years of professional pet care experience through pet sitting, dog walking, drop-in visits, boarding, and house sitting. I have experience caring for dogs and cats of all ages, including puppies, senior pets, and high-energy dogs. I understand that every pet has unique needs, and I always take the time to learn their routine, preferences, and personality to help them feel comfortable and safe while you're away. As a pet owner myself, I know how important it is to have someone trustworthy caring for your pets. I provide regular updates, photos, and communication throughout every booking so you can have peace of mind knowing your pet is receiving excellent care. My goal is to treat every pet like family and provide a safe, loving, and reliable experience for both pets and their owners. Pet care is my primary focus, and I build my schedule around the pets in my care. I provide consistent feeding schedules, potty breaks, walks, playtime, enrichment, and plenty of attention throughout the day. I am committed to keeping pet parents updated with photos and messages so they can feel confident their pets are safe and happy while they are away. Your pet’s safety and comfort are my top priorities. I carefully follow each pet’s routine, feeding instructions, medication schedules, and any special care requirements. My home is clean, pet-friendly, and smoke-free. For house sitting and drop-in visits, I treat every client’s home with the same respect and care I would expect for my own. I provide regular updates and photos throughout each stay.

About: Dog sitting has become the best full time job here! I have never been paid to dog walk/sit and only have purely out of love for all animals. I started volunteering for family friends and neighbors at a young age and will never say no to hanging out with a furry friend. No size or breed scare me - all are welcome (: Boarding - I am home everyday and have full availability to watch and care for pups. Yard is moderately sized and property is pretty private with our only 3 neighbors all across the street. I have many repeated clients outside of rover and we’re constantly rotating dogs so expect your pup to make furry friends during their stay! For walks - my schedule is extremely flexible at the moment, preferably mornings and late afternoons. Tuesday and Wednesday evenings are not ideal but can possibly work. Sunday mornings do not work. I have a mini goldendoodle living in my studio apartment. She is shy but warms up quickly to new pups. My apartment is the lower half of my dad’s house in a private wooded area on a hill overlooking the Hudson River. I am a free range sitter so pups are allowed on sofa and bed unless I’m given specific instructions which I happily will follow.

About: Having grown up in a household bustling with three dogs and three cats, I've been immersed in pet care from a very young age! My hands on experience ranges from raising a German Shepherd to managing the boundless energy of a Husky and the loyal companionship of a Lab—each breed presenting its unique challenges. As a college student, I continue this passion with my beloved dog, Dewey, who is a constant companion. My specialties include embracing long walks (hiking is a favorite), potty training, and dedicating quality time to ensure pets are happy and healthy. As a recent college student with a vast amount of flexibility, I find more time to dedicate to my passion for pet care. Though I work part-time nannying , my free moments are often spent on long walks with my dog, Dewey, or those of my friends. These outings range from early morning walks to peaceful nighttime walks, seamlessly integrating into my daily routine. In my home, I create a welcoming environment for pets by ensuring they have a safe, comfortable space for their little vacation! I prioritize routine, from feeding and exercise to play and rest in my acred fenced backyard, adapting to the individual needs of each pet. When caring for pets in a client's home, I maintain their familiar routines to minimize stress. Since each pet is different, I have to adapt to what they are used to at home to make them comfortable. I also keep thorough communication with owners, providing updates and seeking guidance to tailor my approach according to the pet’s habits and preferences. Whether in my home or theirs, I am committed to providing a nurturing and attentive care environment that meets each pets unique personality!

FAQs for Dog Sitting - Shrub Oak

Frequently asked questions about Rover

As of November 2026, there are 5,618 sitters on Rover offering Dog Sitting across Shrub Oak. 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.

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 Shrub Oak 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!

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.

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.

While Rover doesn’t offer traditional subscription services, some sitters offer recurring bookings for services like home visits and dog walking. Recurring services come with their own perks, such as flexibility to modify services (up to five weeks in advance), automatic billing, Rover Card updates, and same-day cancellations.

To find sitters in Shrub Oak with recurring or weekly availability, select "Repeat Weekly" and which days you’d like them to care for your pet.

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

  • 86% of sitters can help with special care needs
  • 89% 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.

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.
