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!

About: Dogs have been a part of my life since the day I was born, and caring for them truly feels like my purpose. I have over 20 years of hands-on experience, including dog kennel work, walking, daycare, and overnight sitting. I treat every dog as if they were my own—providing loving, attentive, and reliable care so you can feel completely at ease while you’re away. I’m currently available full time to care for your pets! Just need a heads up of your desired schedule for your pups needs to plan ahead. Full fenced 1/2 acre yard with my own giant breed dog who is friendly and loves to play. XL crate available for use if needed. My home is their home while they’re staying with me!

Jacqueline is not five but six stars! She truly goes above and beyond! She’s not only reliable—sticking to our schedule perfectly for 10 days, even on Christmas, or during a snowstorm, and freezing cold—but also a sweet, pleasant person to deal with. Her excellent communication, updates, and heartwarming cat photos eased our anxiety as first-time users leaving our fur babies. She’s now “our” cat sitter. Highly recommend her! Thank you from the heart.

About: I've taken care of all kinds of dogs and cats since I was in middle school! My beloved dog, Marley, passed a few years ago and I've taken to spending time at shelters and helping friends and family with their furry friends. I love to make pets feel loved and owners feel at-ease. I work full-time, so I'll be around after 4:30 pm on weekdays. On weekends, I am typically around after noon! I work close-by, so I can always stop by on my lunch break. I can crate dogs if needed, and I am also always happy to do whatever is comfortable for your fur baby at your (and their!) home.

About: I've had the wonderful experience of caring for the many animals at the humane society including dogs, cats, bunnies, mice, and birds. I've had the chance to bond with animals with a variety of different personalities and background stories. I also have administered medication and cared for animals with different medical needs including chronic kidney disease. I hope to bring my experience and passion for animals to better serve your feline and canine friends. I'm currently available on the weekends and Friday night. I hope to dedicate plenty of time to spend taking care of your animal companions. I hope to have more availability in the future. In addition to feeding and changing the litter box, I hope to check in on your animals to make sure they are comfortable and there are no hazardous items around. I hope to spend some time socializing and playing with them if they up for it! Otherwise, a friendly hello will do.

About: Hello fellow pet enthusiasts! My name is Patryk and I have been taking care of my own pets as well as the pets of my friends and family for as long as I can remember. My journey started in Poland taking care of a yard full of dogs and has bought me here! I have had the privilege of taking care of a multitude of furry friends, from dogs and cats to lizards and hamsters. Always learning and treating the little furballs as if they were my own. I have two dogs of my own, a 100lb German Sheppard by the name of Max and a beautiful, energetic, little yorkie-poodle named Krystina. I have experience with dogs of all sizes and breeds and have been told I am a "dog magnet". I am a very charismatic person and can say that 95% of the pets I meet love me the other 5% are a bit shy and get the same, world class, treatment as all others. I am excited to meet your pets and give them the time and attention they deserve, as well as lots of petting and walks! Don't be shy, Give me a try ! :D I am self employed and make my own schedule weekly. I am a good person to call if you have a short notice emergency. I am always ready to help those in need ! I have enough space to take care of two dogs a night comfortably. A big back yard and tile floors downstairs just in case for easy cleanup. I have been told I "spoil" my dogs and that they have it so good I could leave my front door and back door open and they wouldn't leave even if you offered treats. Your pets will get the same great treatment. my approach is Love, our animals can feel all the feelings just like we can and I am here to make them feel welcome and safe. I will diligently take care of your pets as if they were my own.

About: I’ve always had a soft spot for dogs and truly enjoy spending time with them. Caring for a dog every day showed me just how much I love being around them and giving them the attention they deserve. As an elementary school teacher, I have more flexibility during the summer, and my weekends are usually free. I’m flexible with scheduling and can often accommodate same-day requests when possible. I have experience with walks, playtime, basic training, and lots of snuggles. I even helped reinforce good leash manners and taught a few fun tricks. I’d love the chance to give your fur baby plenty of love, attention, and care! 💙 As an elementary school teacher, my availability expands during the summer, and weekends are almost always free. I’m also happy to accommodate same-day requests and schedule changes whenever possible! 🩵 I treat every pet as if they were my own. I always follow the owner’s instructions, keep pets secure on walks, provide plenty of attention and playtime, and make sure they feel safe and comfortable while you’re away. I’ll also keep you updated with photos and messages for peace of mind. 🩵

FAQs for Drop-In Visits - Tappan

Frequently asked questions about Rover

As of July 2026, there are 25,163 sitters on Rover offering Dog Sitting across Tappan. 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 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.

Yes, you can find sitters who have experience with handling special pet needs in Tappan. On Rover:

  • 88% of sitters can help with special care needs
  • 92% can help with giving oral medications or injections
  • 96% 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 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.
