About: I have over 12 years of experience raising and caring for dogs, including taking care of puppies from the time they were born. I understand the needs of dogs at every stage of life, from newborn puppies to adult dogs, and I provide calm, attentive, and loving care. Your dog will be treated like family in a safe and comfortable home environment. I work from home, so I’m home with the dogs throughout the day and able to give them lots of attention, care, and supervision. Your dog will rarely be left alone and will have plenty of companionship, potty breaks, playtime, and cuddles during the day. I make sure every dog feels comfortable, safe, and part of the family while they’re staying with me. The backyard is fully fenced and safe, providing a secure space for dogs to play. I live on a quiet street with very little traffic, making it a safe environment for dogs.
About: I am a 23 year-old dogsitter and dogwalker that has been working with dogs for a third of my life (8 years). I was always surrounded by dogs growing up and would love to keep it that way :) I walk Figo every day - Labradoodle pictured in my photos :) And dogsit Jesse - Boston Terrier occasionally on weekends. Dogsitting and catsitting is extremely mixed into my schedule and I am always looking for more opportunities! When dogsitting, I am always hanging out with the dog. I walk them a little extra sometimes. And will play with them as much as their heart desires :)
“Yvette was awesome! Took such good care of my 3 little fur babies. Definitely went above and beyond to make sure they were happy and I was in the loop with pictures and updates. One million percent would book again! Thank you!!!! 🐾🐾🐾”
“MaryAnn was wonderful! She took great care of our older cat while we were on vacation and sent regular updates on how he was doing. We’d definitely recommend MaryAnn!”
About: My 3 kids and I run a small business caring for animals mostly dogs. All 3 are in their 20’s. My son, Adam does most of the walks and house sitting, I handle the boarding. My reviews are not only for me but for my boys as well. I come from a long line of animal lovers and grew up with many dogs, cats, birds, hamsters. Animals are my life! They offer unconditional love and rely on us to give them love, affection and to meet all of their basic needs. I own my own home on a private dead end street. When your fur babies are here, they are part of our family and are never left alone. There is always someone at home. My mission is to make sure all pups in my care, feel safe, loved and happy. I recently left my job in the medical field. I’m spending my time now with my adult children and my dogs. Life is too short to not do what you love everyday Safety is a priority in my home and I live on a private street with only two houses so there is absolutely zero traffic here
About: I have always been a pet person. I’ve lived my whole life always having a pet. Whether that’s dogs, cats, bunnies, guinea pigs, or even fish! I love all animals and have even done wildlife rehab rescues. I’ve had experience dog sitting as well as dog walking. I know that every dog is different so I adjust to every pets needs, no two dogs are the same and every one is special in their own way :) Weekdays i'm available in the afternoons till however late is necessary. Weekends my schedule is practically wide open! My personal at home routine with my animals includes walks, food, water, play time,and anything in between! I have a large fenced in yard that my dog loves to run around in! I have a car too if any transport is needed, equipped with safety for dogs in the car! When I take dogs for walks I always bring a travel water bottle for them as well as snacks! I place a huge importance on dogs safety and health so on walks I will always go with the dogs pace and never push them past their limits, on really hot days we will stop for shade and water breaks!
“We went on a 10 day trip to Europe. One of our dogs is a pit/rottie mix so we were especially worried about a sitter entering the house while we were away. Helene was amazing. She got along with the dogs wonderfully. We received photos of our babies playing every day. It was such a relief. We weren't worried at all with our dogs in Helene's care. Helene helped make our vacation worry-free.”
“Brigid is wonderful! She keeps me posted when she checks in and gives me picture updated of Luna! It makes me feel assured that my girl is getting love and care while I am at work. Thank you Brigid!”
“Matthew has been an amazing pet sitter and care taker for my two boys, including my senior cat with significant health concerns. I was kept updated with each visit, and Matt was very communicative with medications and how much each boy ate. I feel secure whenever Matt watched my boys!”
“Our cat is in love with Ellie! She gave him all of the cuddles and love...along with food and his insulin shot every night. As a senior cat, Iowa needs special attention and Ellie is a great caregiver for our old pal!”

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 Tappan 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.
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 Tappan 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 short introductory meeting between you, your dog, 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.
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 Tappan with recurring or weekly availability, select "Repeat Weekly" and which days you’d like them to care for your pet.

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 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.
