About: I follow feeding schedule and engage with dogs under my care throughout the day. I also help to teach basic commands. I love spending time outdoors and do not mind taking the dog out multiple times a day or taking longer walks. I am currently looking for a full time job since I’ve graduated from college this May. My schedule is mainly free everyday of the week. I follow instructions from the client and make sure the pets are also engaged through enrichment activities. I make sure to keep the home clean as well.
About: Hi! I’ve grown up around dogs and have always had a love for animals. I’m caring, responsible, and excited to give your pup plenty of attention, playtime, walks, and cuddles. I understand how important it is to feel comfortable leaving your dog with someone you trust, and I’ll treat your pet like my own while they’re in my care! Currently in school for my PhD so I have a lot of time when I’m home studying or doing work! If I do leave the house it’s only for a few hours at a time! I currently have no pets which can allow me to spend 1:1 time with your furry friends. They can stay at my house or I can come to yours whatever is most convenient!
About: I’ve cared for dogs my entire life and have always shared my home with them. Dogs are family to me, and I welcome every dog I care for as one of my own, providing a safe, loving, and comfortable home while you’re away. I work from home, so your dog will always have people around. They’ll receive constant supervision, attention, and companionship while staying with us, thank you. While staying with us, your dog will have built-in friends in my Goldendoodle and miniature poodle, plus a backyard to explore, daily walks, and lots of supervised playtime.

About: I've been caring for dogs since I was 7 years old, when I got my first dog. Over the years I've cared for dogs of different sizes, breeds, ages and personalities. Friends, family, and neighbors have trusted me to care for their pets. As a mom, I'm responsible, patient, and used to keeping a busy household on routine. I'm comfortable following each dog's individual routine and making sure they feel safe and loved while their owners are away. When your pet stays with me, they'll be treated like part of the family. I work during the day, but my grandmother is home all day, and my son is home after school and loves animals. Pets will have plenty of company throughout the day while I'm at work, and I'll provide their walks, playtime and attention before and after work. Overnight boarding is welcomed! I have a fenced yard where dogs can safely enjoy some outdoor time, along with a comfortable home environment. I'm happy to follow your pet's routine and can crate your dog if needed or preferred.
About: I grew up with dogs! I have experience with senior dogs and those that are sick or post-op. I also work well with high- (and low) energy dogs! I am also usually the go-to for boarding among my friends and family! 😎 Because I work an in-person 9-5 in the city, my availability are as follows: BOARDING: unfortunately only on weekends :( WALKS/DROP-INS: after 6pm on weekdays but anytime on weekends HOUSE SITTING: always available :) For boarding, I have plenty of space in my home for your fur baby(s)! I can easily crate them if needed. As I recently moved, I had to leave my fur babies behind with my family back home so it won’t be a worry if your fur babies don’t get along with other dogs :) For house-sitting/drop-in visits, anything you and your fur baby’s needs!

About: I have experience with dogs, and cats of all ages, as well as aiding in medication administration as needed. I have had pets as long as I can remember! I am flexible to whatever dates are needed! I do work until about 4:30 then I can assist as needed in your pet care needs. I will not be able to take your pets to my house, however I can walk them in parks and bring them in my car if needed!

About: 🐾 Experienced & Compassionate Animal Care with a Healthcare Pro 🤎💯 Hi there! My name is Ivan, and I bring over 15 years of hands on experience caring for beloved pets of all kinds, from playful pups and cuddly cats to exotic reptiles, rodents, birds, and fish. Whether it was caring for my own large animal-loving family’s pets or boarding for extended friends and clients, I’ve built a life around patience, compassion, and responsibility. I’m proud to offer a patient, nurturing, and medically informed approach to pet care. I currently work in healthcare, with a background in hospice care and MRI, along with patient safety, which means I’m naturally calm, attentive, and deeply tuned in to the needs of others, furry, feathered, or scaled. Now that I’m studying full-time from home and my beloved rescue husky Tony Montana has crossed the rainbow bridge, I’ve opened my heart (and my schedule!) to help other families travel stress-free, knowing their pets are loved and safe. I specialize in: • 🐶 Dog sitting & boarding • 🐱 Cat care & boarding • 🐍 Exotics, reptiles, rodents, birds, and fish • 💊 Administering meds & caring for seniors or special-needs pets • 🏡 In-home care or flexible boarding options • ✈️ Helping you travel without guilt or FOMO! Your pets will be treated like family in a secure, nurturing environment. I’m punctual, responsive, and open to negotiation for the right fit. My mission is simple: to offer top-notch, worry-free pet care you can count on. Let’s connect! I’d love to meet your family pet and give you peace of mind while you’re away. 💛 ✨ Genuine reviews and kind referrals mean the world to me. Your pet will be safe here with no other animals to bother them, can crate upon your request. My career in healthcare has taught me the value of patience, attention to detail, and compassionate care, not just for people, but for every living being I encounter. I’ve worked in both hospice and diagnostic imaging environments, where I helped ease patients through some of their most vulnerable moments. That experience has shaped me into a calm, reliable, and nurturing caretaker, someone who understands the importance of safety, comfort, and trust, whether I’m supporting a person or a beloved family pet. After years of dedication to full-time work, I’ve recently shifted my focus to furthering my education through online study. This new chapter has given me the flexibility and time to return to something that has always brought me joy: caring for animals. With my schedule now wide open, I’m able to provide attentive, personalized care through house sitting, pet sitting, drop-in visits, and boarding services. The passing of my senior rescue dog, Tony Montana, was a deeply emotional moment that reminded me just how meaningful the human-animal bond can be. In his honor, I’m now choosing to open my heart and home to help others. Whether you need peace of mind while you’re traveling or consistent, loving support for your pet while you’re away, I’m here, eager, dependable, and ready to serve with the same compassion I brought to healthcare. 🐾 Experienced & Compassionate Animal Care with a Medical Touch 🐾 Hi there!

I have a senior dog friendly cat that minds her business and stays out of everyone’s way. She has been chased by small and big dogs and never became scared or aggressive as they were simply overstimulated and were not allowed to even reach her. So besides a cat thats nowhere to be seen and is unbothered by other cats and dogs, your pet would be spoiled rotten here.
“Dionne was the best! She made me feel really comfortable with this being my first time using Rover. Very communicative and consistent. I would definitely hire her again!”

About: Hello, I have been working in petcare professionally for 10 years. A meet n greet in PERSON is mandatory for my services. It prevents confusion and distrust and i'd like the animal themselves to be comfortable overall. If you do not think this matters in your petcare needs we are not a good fit for another. Do not send me requests JUST before your sitting is needed. I do not do rushed last minute bookings. I make the time as long as my time doing it is respected. This is part of my daily routine so be sure to promptly send updates for care needs. I can offer a wide range of care preferences. Let me know what your pets home life style is and we can go from there.

About: My experience comes from caring for my aunt’s family dog and helping friends by caring for their pets while they’re away. I’ve enjoyed getting to know each pet’s personality, keeping them comfortable and cared for, and making sure they receive plenty of attention and love. I’m dependable, patient, and treat every pet as if they were my own. 🐾❤️ I work full-time during the week, so my availability is primarily in the evenings and on weekends. I’m happy to coordinate ahead of time to make sure your pet gets the care and attention they need. 🐾 Every pet has different needs, routines, and personalities, so I tailor my care to each pet and their owner’s instructions. I’ll take the time to understand their routine, feeding schedule, exercise needs, comfort level, and any special instructions before their stay or visit. As I continue building my experience through Rover, I’m open to different types of pets and services and will make sure each booking is a good fit for both the pet and me. My priority is creating a safe, calm, and comfortable environment while keeping owners updated and giving their pets plenty of care and attention. 🐾

“Lindsey is a fantastic pet sitter! She did drop in visits with our cat while we were out of town for 4 days. Lindsey was super responsive/communicative and sent great updates with lots of pictures and videos. She was also very flexible and understanding when our travel plans changed and we had to adjust the days. Best of all, our shy pandemic kitty warmed up to her immediately - she clearly has the magic touch! We will definitely use Lindsey for future stays and would recommend her wholeheartedly.”

I had a wonderful experience with Alex! She was extremely communicative, reliable, and attentive to Brooklyn’s needs during her check-in visits. She followed all the care instructions I provided and made sure Brooklyn received the attention and care needed. Her thoughtfulness, attention to detail, and consistent communication gave me such peace of mind knowing Brooklyn was in great hands. It’s clear that Alex genuinely cares about the pets she looks after. I truly appreciate the excellent care she provided and would absolutely book with her again. Highly recommend!
As always Noelle and Victor went above and beyond for our pups. Sundae is very timid and warmed up to them right away, that’s how you know they’re great. And Chili was super excited to see them which is no surprise, they’re besties lol. Thank you guys so much!!

Frequently asked questions about Rover
The average cost of Dog Sitting in Staten Island is $22 per visit as of November 2026. Most bookings cost between $11 and $37 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 26,047 sitters on Rover offering Dog Sitting across Staten Island. 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 Staten Island 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 Staten Island with recurring or weekly availability, select "Repeat Weekly" and which days you’d like them to care for your pet.

- 83% of sitters can help with special care needs

- 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.
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.
