About: Although new to Rover, I have been taking care of dogs for my entire life and have years of experience in professional pet care! As a college athlete I live an active lifestyle and understand the importance of a schedule. That being said I am a great match for high-energy pups who need a lot of playtime and long walks. I also aim to maintain the routine you find best for your pup to provide the least amount of changes to your dogs schedule, and therefore the least amount of stress for them in your absence. I also pride myself in my attentiveness, understanding, and tendency to go above and beyond. You can expect updates with pictures, flexibility with schedule changes or last minute bookings, and patience with your dog in my care. With a high-energy Pitbull and a couch-potato senior dog, I can readily adapt to the needs of your pup! I unfortunately cannot board your furry friends in my home at this time for the safety of my own dogs and the respect of my family! Regarding house sitting services, I am happy to provide overnight care in your home and maintain your pets normal routine as well as any basic house upkeep upon request (mail, trash, etc). I may leave throughout the day to maintain my personal schedule for work, school, or prior plans, however I treat your pet like my own and ensure they are receiving all the attention, potty breaks, playtime, and meals as they would in your care. I would love to take your pup on trails or to my personal fenced backyard for some exercise and to make them more comfortable! Regarding drop-ins and dog walking, I am extremely flexible and can often accept last minute bookings. I am working full time over the summer and will accommodate as best I can to your desired schedule. Early mornings and evenings are available for me on weekdays, weekends can vary but are usually free! My Pitbull loves to play outside and go on long walks. We are lucky to have a large, fenced backyard to enjoy on a daily basis. My senior dog loves slow walks and snuggles, which I ensure he gets plenty of.
“Sammantha is our go-to care taker for our rat terrier Indy. She is very responsive and treats Indy like one of her own. Indy loves when Sammantha comes to visit. Highly recommended!”
“Ariana came and stayed with my pup while I was away over the 4th of July weekend. She was great with my pup who is afraid of loud sounds and fireworks. Ariana treated her like she would her own pup. I can't recommend her highly enough.”
About: I have taken care of all animals from dogs to cats of all ages and sizes. I also have administered medication to seniors and have trained my own dog when he was a puppy. I am currently a college coach. I have a lot of time during the day to let pups out and play with them. I am very flexible. I will take your dogs out to play in the backyard or on a long walk / hike if you don’t have a fenced in yard.
“Flower did a great job house sitting and caring for Willie and Molly for 5 days, she sent photos and videos daily. They played and had meals and snuggles and treats. My dogs love her.”
“Teadie did a great job with my two - she was communicative, reachable, and professional. Her 6 day stay with my two went really great! I really appreciated her and will re-book again!”
About: Just rejoined Rover after a 7 year hiatus and excited to help care for some new dogs again. I grew up in Connecticut, where my mom taught me a home is not a home without a dog. Took care of 4 family dogs throughout my childhood and into adult life; my parents still have our yellow lab mix Micki at home who I dog sit. I am working remote and in between Westchester and Dutchess County, where I co own a rescue dog with my GF. Looking to meet some new dogs and help in any way possible; dog walking, overnights, playing, feeding and anything else needed. My schedule is extremely flexible right now so let me know how I can help you with your pet. I am currently working remote with a very flexible schedule and am active from New York City to Westchester to Dutchess County and everywhere in between. I am extremely responsible, understanding and experienced with dog sitting, boarding, walking, playing and taking care of any dog while respecting every owner’s home.
“David did an outstanding job watching our dog, Trixie. He walked her often during the day, and had her out early in the morning and well into the evening. He came to our home the day before his scheduled time to meet with us, and to see the dog. He wanted Trixie to see us together with him, so she would be comfortable knowing that he was an accepted part of our pet family. He left our home in perfect condition when we came back from a brief vacation. David is a very nice person and he is well suited with pets. I would have David back in the future when his services are again needed. Roseann and Mike b”
“Griffin was an great sitter for our animals. Very thorough with communication, and always sent updates with photos and how each of our pets were doing. It puts your mind at ease knowing someone like Griffin has your pets best interest in mind. We definitely will book with him again!”
“Christy was an amazing dog sitter! She provided regular updates and made me feel completely at ease while I was away. One of my dogs has diabetes and needs insulin twice a day; Christy was able to administer the insulin no problem. I knew my dogs were happy and well cared for with Christy. I highly recommend her to anyone looking for a reliable and compassionate dog sitter!”
About: I’ve taken care of my childhood dog from puppy to senior. I enjoyed training and grooming my puppy and making my senior dog a power bowl. I am a very active person - a hiker, marathoner, boxer, and cyclist, I can exhaust your furry babies however they want! And I particularly have a good sense of reading animal behavior, meaning if your dog needs a therapist, I am a very good listener;) I currently work flexible hours, so I have plenty of time to give your furry babies attention any time of the day. Boarding, walking and house sitting are all welcome weekdays or weekends. Boarding: I am in a 2bd condo with balcony without any pet in a quiet neighborhood. I am walking distance to a lot of trails (paved and non-paved) that your dog can take advantage of. Sitting: tell me your pet’s routine, I will be accountable!

Pet parents share their Rover experiences - Stony Point
Nicole was great. During the meet & greet both dogs seemed super comfortable immediately. While we were away she was super responsive and followed all care instructions. Our house was super clean when we got home also. Will absolutely ask her to stay again if our schedules match up.
Naomi was both a lifesaver and a wonderful sitter! She came to sit for our dog Bert last minute when our sitter cancelled! The minute she walked through the door her warmth and clear love for dogs shone through! Then we had to ask if she could stay a bit later because we were stuck at a concert, and she was so accommodating. I HIGHLY recommend Naomi as she was professional, excited about dog sitting and sent lots of pictures to this anxious mama! Thank you naomi!

FAQs for House Sitting - Stony Point
Frequently asked questions about Rover
The average cost for House Sitting in Stony Point on Rover is $61.05 per night (as of July 2026). However, all sitters set their own rates based on experience, location, and availability.
Rover makes budgeting the cost of House 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 House Sitting. For more information on service fees, click here .
As of July 2026, there are 16,733 sitters on Rover offering House Sitting across Stony Point. 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 Stony Point 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 Stony Point 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 Stony Point 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 Rover Guarantee , 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 Rover's Trust & Safety page .
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 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.

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.
