About: I have raised 3 dogs from puppy through adulthood with great love and attention. Looking forward to helping others with their beloved pets! Our home is heaven for any dog or cat. My wife and I both work from home so we're always around to provide attention, playtime, walks, feedings, grooming, etc. Our dog Moreno is super friendly and agreeable with other dogs and cats. Our son loves them too! Multiple walks a day, leashed or off depending on the dog. Gated porch for fresh air time. Dog beds, toys, lots of space for people and pets!

Irene took care of my two kitties very well. They are very shy and didn’t come out to see her, but she made sure they had food and cleaned up after them.

About: I have pet/house sat multiple times over the past several years for friends and family, and have worked in animal shelters and a local doggy daycare, from small critters like guinea pigs and ferrets, cats, and even large dog breeds. I also have 2 years experience volunteering for a local shelter in socialization and vet transport, 3 years experience working for a doggy daycare and boarding facility, and I currently work part time for another local animal shelter. I am an experienced owner of dogs, cats, ferrets, chickens, guinea pigs, and more. I also have experience as a wedding dog handler, and would be happy to offer this service if requested so your furry companion can accompany you on your special day without any added stress. I currently work part time so I have lots of time to play with your pup, and hopefully can build savings towards a larger space to meet more people's needs! I am always looking to learn, grow, and provide better care for animals. Animal welfare is very important to me. At this point in time, due to the space I'm only able to accommodate smaller breeds that generally can get along with others. I do have a small fenced in yard, but I also have the bike trail and nearby hiking trails readily available, your dog will need to be on leash at all times when outside on walks/hikes, I do not provide "off-leash" trail experience as a safety precaution, thank you for your understanding! I am happy to provide pictures and updates of your pup whenever requested, please never be afraid to reach out!

About: I've taken care of animals since I was a young child. I have always felt love and responsibility to our animal friends. I worked with cats, dogs, reptiles, birds, horses, guinea pigs, and rabbits. I want to fill my days with helping wonderful pet parents provide the attention and care their pets deserve. I have multiple dog walks daily and will make sure your pet gets lots of love too. I am able to stay away from home for periods of time while my family helps care for my animals and home. I have 2 separate unoccupied bedrooms to allow for private space for animals. I live across from springside park and have a mostly fenced yard with leads. I'm dedicated to pet care. I have daily walks generally in the mid-afternoon. I have online meetings Wednesday and Saturday which I can attend in your home, mine or anywhere with internet access. I have separate spaces available for each animal in my care at any time. I will use provided equipment for transportation. Your pets safety is number one.

About: I bring a unique level of structure, energy, and reliability to pet care through my experience as a college coach. My daily work revolves around building routines, paying attention to small details, and making sure individuals are supported and performing at their best — and I carry that same approach into caring for dogs. I am highly dependable and organized, so you can trust that your dog’s schedule, feeding routine, and exercise needs will be handled consistently. I also bring an active lifestyle, which is great for dogs that need engaging walks, playtime, and attention. What sets me apart is the level of care and awareness I provide. I pay close attention to behavior, energy levels, and any changes, and I prioritize clear communication so you always feel confident while you are away. My goal is to make sure your dog feels comfortable, safe, and well cared for at all times My schedule is currently wide open following the end of the swim season, which gives me plenty of flexibility for walks, drop-ins, and overnight care throughout the week and weekends. I understand how important it is to trust someone with your dog. I create a safe, comfortable environment where your pet feels secure and cared for at all times. I pay close attention to their needs, keep a watchful eye during walks, and always make sure you are updated so you can relax knowing they are in good hands.

About: I’ve been caring for pets informally for my entire life and professionally starting 12 years ago. I care for each pet like they are my own. I am sensitive to their energy and needs. I am able to work with animals who have unique social/emotional and medical needs. I mainly work with dogs and cats but am also experienced in caring for small animals like rabbits, birds, reptiles and fish. I’m currently working part-time, and my schedule varies a bit week to week. I am free mornings and evenings, most Thursdays, as well as Mondays after 2 pm. I usually work shifts under 8 hours, so with good communication I would be thrilled to come up with a plan that will suit you and your pet(s). For now, I am able to care for and board cats and small animals in my home. In the summer, I can board dogs in my fenced in yard. For dogs and larger animals, I can take them for walks and pet sit by traveling to your home. I look forward to meeting you and your pet(s)! I have managed to ensure my pet rabbit feels safe while also living with a rambunctious one-year-old labrador retriever. I am always cautious about my pets and my clients’ pet’s whereabouts. I’ve helped return missing neighborhood cats and dogs to their owners as well as assist with unexpected visits to the vet.

I can’t recommend Bella enough! From the moment I met her, I knew my pups were in great hands. She took the time to get to know my dogs and their routines, which made me feel so at ease. Throughout my time away, Bella sent me daily updates and adorable photos of my pups playing and enjoying their time. Each picture captured their happiness—tails wagging and big smiles! It was such a relief to see them so content and well cared for. She truly went above and beyond, providing not just care but also love and attention. I will definitely be booking Bella again for future trips. If you’re looking for someone reliable and caring, look no further!

About: I have always lived in household with a minimum of 3 dogs, dogs have been my companions before I could walk. Now I’m always with my service dog, Winnie. I worked with a program to train my own service dog. He’s a friendly little golden retriever, and a fast friend. During his training I learned the importance of trust routine, and patience with dogs. I’m currently working part time from 7:30 to 2 pm Monday, Wednesday, Thursday and 10-3 on Saturdays. I am always up for hiking or a short walk with dogs. I have a service dog who comes with me everywhere, he’s a gentle and easy friend, and generally good with other dogs. He’s just as happy to play as he is to nap.

About: I’ve taken care of cats and dogs for about five years now and I have a lot of experience. I’ve worked anywhere from doggy daycare‘s to overnights to boarding dogs in my own home. I’ve always considered myself an animal person and I just love to care for them. I’m currently in cosmetology school so Monday through Friday, I’m in School from 9 o’clock until 430. After that, I plan to stay where I’m dog sitting for so that they get the most love and attention when I am able to be there. I really like to take it on the owners terms. I always prefer to meet the animal I’m caring for first however, if that’s not possible then it’s totally fine, however I like to listen to what the animal tells me, what boundaries it’s giving me, but I love to be able to play with them take them outside as much as possible feed them when necessary and give extra treats because they’re such good babies. I just appreciate the owners letting me know what they do and don’t want from me as a host.

Ellen took wonderful care of our cat Seven while my husband and I were out of town for several days. She sent detailed updates daily with photos, made sure to give Seven lots of playtime with his favorite toys, and kept our home in spotless condition as well. I highly recommend her if you're looking for a responsible, communicative sitter who loves cats!

This was our first experience using Rover so I was a bit nervous. I contacted Julia and she came over for a meet and greet a few days ahead of time. She took excellent care of our two cats who are older and cranky at times. Julia was great! I loved getting the updates and pictures after each visit. That totally put my mind at ease. I would not hesitate to hire her again! Very happy customer!

FAQs for Drop-In Visits - Stephentown

Frequently asked questions about Rover

The average cost for Pet Sitting in Stephentown on Rover is $15.54 per visit (as of July 2026). However, all sitters set their own rates based on experience, location, and availability.

Rover makes budgeting the cost of Pet Sitting easy. As long as your dates and pet profiles are correct, the price you see before you book is the same price you pay for Pet Sitting. For more information on service fees, click here .

As of July 2026, there are 849 sitters on Rover offering Pet Sitting across Stephentown. Enter your ZIP code to see which available sitters are closest to your home.

A pet sitter can provide focused care sessions, help your pet’s routine stay on track, or keep you updated on your pet’s mood and energy levels.

Whether you’re at the office for the day or traveling for a few nights, a pet sitter can offer potty breaks during a Stephentown stroll, cleaning the litter box, or making sure your pet has on-time food or water refills. For daytime services like walking and drop-ins, you can also request sitters to send a report card with every visit.

Tip: You can discuss your specific arrangements with a pet sitter on Rover to what fits you, your pet, and your sitter’s needs. To find what their special skills are, look at the "Skills" and "Pet care experience" sections on their profile.

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 Stephentown. On Rover:

  • 89% of sitters can help with special care needs
  • 97% can help with giving oral medications or injections
  • 97% 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 short introductory meeting between you, your pet, and a sitter. It can take place in person or virtually, although we recommend in-person so that your pet can get to know your sitter 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. Most pet parents and sitters on Rover welcome Meet & Greets because the process can give confidence and peace of mind for service experiences, especially for longer stays or first-time bookings.

Sitters on Rover set their own cancellation policy, which you can find on their profile under their calendar availability.

Cancelling before a booking begins and before the sitter's cutoff time qualifies you for a full refund. Same-day cancellations for walks, day care, and drop-ins follow the full refund policy. Otherwise, for dog boarding and house sitting, you will receive a 50% refund for the first seven days of the booking and a 100% refund for the remaining days when you cancel the same day a booking should begin.

If your sitter needs to cancel within seven days of the booking's start date, then our reservation protection will kick in. This means our support team works with you to find a replacement sitter.
