“Another great experience!!! Jean always leaves my home so nice and my pets happy 😊. I was gone for quite a while this time (honeymoon), and I came home to two very happy cats, my mail inside, and plenty of food/water. I always feel so secure when I know she’s coming around and can actually relax and rest assured they’re in good hands :). No one else I would book with and look forward to having Jean around again!!! ♥️ as always, thank you!! ☺️”
“Madeline was punctual and dependable. Our two cats were well cared for, and our home was neat and clean. We appreciate Madeline and hope she can do this again for us! ᰔ”
“Maria took great care of our two cats. She followed all of our instructions and was in constant contact. It was a real relief to have her check in, text, and take pictures while we were away.”
About: I have taken care of friends and family pets over the course of this year some long-term and some short term. Frequent dog park visits and timely feedings. I can accommodate all types of diets, raw kibble, and specialty foods. I currently work full-time however I have a rotating schedule so I can often pet sit and drop in weekdays if needed and weekends. I am off in the mornings so drop and visits are easy for people who work 9 to 5 and just want their dog to have some extra time out or to just check in on the cats. There is an option of having your pet here in my space all to themselves or with my personal pets. I have different options of sleeping accommodations for your pet cage, cot and cushioned. Though I do not have a fenced in yard, I have a dog park in my complex as well as a dog park 4 minutes away by car. I can accommodate all diets, including raw diet.
“John did a great job taking care of our pets. He was responsive, easy to talk to and genuinely cared for our crew of 2 cats and an energetic dog. We will utilize his services again soon.”
About: I grew up surrounded by all different kinds of animals. I currently work as a dog handler and spend my days watching over large packs filled with various breeds, ages and sizes. I have experience in administering medicine, deescalating fights, and even swim lessons. I’m a full time commuter student working on my masters degree. I also have a part time job at a dog daycare that I work one to two days a week at. I would be available for dog walking and drop in visits Tuesdays after 12:30 until 5, and Wednesdays and Thursdays anytime before 3. I am flexible and am able to care for your pet in any way wanted or needed. My pets at home are both free range and crate trained, so I’m comfortable with either option.
About: I’ve grown up with cats and dogs my entire life, and my experience goes beyond being a pet owner. I’ve fostered dogs and cats of all ages, from newborn puppies and kittens without a mother to senior animals needing extra care and attention. I’ve helped nurse animals back to health and prepare them for their forever homes, and I’ve volunteered at animal shelters walking and caring for dogs. What sets me apart is my hands-on experience with animals at every stage of life, including those who need extra patience, specialized attention, or a little extra love. I understand that every pet has a unique personality and individual needs, and I take the time to make each one feel safe, comfortable, and cared for. I treat every animal as if they were my own and understand that pets are family! My schedule is flexible, with a preference for Monday through Friday during daytime hours. I also have occasional weekend availability and am happy to coordinate with pet parents to find a schedule that works best for everyone. I’m committed to providing reliable, consistent care that fits your pet’s needs and routine! I provide care in your pet’s own home to help them feel comfortable and maintain their normal routine while you’re away. I follow your instructions for feeding, walks, playtime, and any special care needed. I treat your home with respect and your pets like my own, making sure they receive plenty of attention, affection, and care. I’m also happy to send photo updates so you can have peace of mind while you’re away!
About: Hello I am Julieanna. I have been working with dogs for the past 8 years and I have been a dog trainer/sitter for the past few years and now I’ve worked at a veterinary hospital for the past 2 years. I know how hard it can be to balance taking care of your pet(s) and work/life. I have a dog and a cat myself and I would want someone I can trust taking care of them. I hope to be the person you ask for help. I’m currently working full time so my schedule isn’t completely free but I am fairly flexible with my schedule. I am off on Fridays and have some availability on Saturdays depending on my work schedule. I will ask the client if there are any rules in their homes for their pet. I will listen to directions and make sure the pet is safe and happy.
About: I've had cats and dogs my whole life and know how to make animals feel comfortable and cared for. I offer dog walking and cat boarding from my home in Yorktown Heights. Guest cats stay in their own private room with fresh food, water, and a clean litter box. For dog walking I keep things low stress, consistent, and fun. I work from home regularly so I'm around often and take every pet's routine seriously. I treat every animal like my own. I work from home frequently which means pets in my care are never left alone for long stretches. For dog walking I'm flexible on timing and can work around your schedule for morning, afternoon, or evening walks. For cat boarding, guest cats get visits multiple times a day including morning feeding, a midday check-in, and an evening wind-down with fresh food, clean water, and a scooped litter box. Weekends I'm generally very available and weekdays I can accommodate most requests with a little advance notice. I genuinely enjoy spending time with and meeting new animals so this isn't a job to me, it's a passion. I have a dog and two cats of my own so I know firsthand what animals need to feel safe and comfortable. Guest cats are kept in their own private, dedicated room completely separate from my resident pets, giving them a quiet space to decompress and settle in at their own pace. For dog walking I keep things calm and consistent, always on leash, through the safe residential streets of Yorktown Heights or local parks where my dog frequents himself. I pay close attention to each animal's personality and adjust my approach accordingly. Whether a pet is social and energetic or shy and cautious, I make sure they feel comfortable and cared for. My home is peaceful, clean, and genuinely pet friendly.
About: Professional conservationist with deep outdoor experience and an equestrian background handling large animals. I read animal behavior naturally, staying calm and patient with breeds from Jack Russells to Bloodhounds, Pit Bulls, Shiba Inus, and Golden Retrievers. I work full-time Monday through Friday with a flexible, remote-friendly schedule, letting me build in multiple walks throughout the day. Pet care fits naturally alongside my work, never feeling rushed or squeezed in I prioritize consistency, sticking to your pet’s normal routine for feeding, walks, and rest. I keep a close eye on safety and comfort in your home, offer plenty of attention and exercise, and send updates so you always know how things are going.
About: I adore animals and like to treat everyone as if it’s my own. I have been pet sitting throughout college and post grad for about 5 years now. I am incredibly reliable and will treat your space as if it’s my own. I work a fully remote job. I am incredibly flexible and able to care to all your pets needs. Welcome all jobs short or long. I like to keep your furry friend on there set schedule and routines. Everyone operates differently like to meet with the family and see what is best for your animal while you’re away. Love sending lots of updates and pictures throughout the process.

“We are so grateful for Marta, thank you so much! We were able to go on a family vacation out of the country and know that she was taking excellent care of our shy and nervous senior kitty and following all of our instructions about his special diet and medication! She always made an effort to connect with him and make him feel comfortable which we really appreciated. We will definitely hire her again!”

Jeannie is an amazing pet sitter. She made me feel calm while we were away from my little cat Helga and took such good care of her. Everything was clean and tidy when we came home. I highly recommend her and will continue to count on her to look after my cat when traveling! She is wonderful!!!
Kathleen was wonderful with Gracie. She did everything requested. Our family had to attend an evening out of town wedding, so Kathleen came to feed, walk and even kept her company on the deck for a while before she left. She made Gracie feel comfortable with a stranger. Kathleen's knowledge and experience made me feel comfortable leaving her, which she is not used to for long periods of time. I would definitely request Kathleen for our future pet sitting needs.

Frequently asked questions about Rover
As of November 2026, there are 4,346 sitters on Rover offering Pet Sitting across Somers. 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 Somers. On Rover:
- 87% of sitters can help with special care needs
- 90% 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 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.
