About: I've been around dogs my entire life and genuinely enjoy spending time with them. I currently have two dogs of my own, so I'm comfortable caring for dogs with different personalities and energy levels. Over the years, I've helped teach basic commands and tricks such as sit, shake, and speak using positive reinforcement and patience. I understand the importance of keeping pets safe, active, and happy, and I'll care for your dog with the same attention and compassion I'd give my own. As a full-time college student, I have a flexible schedule that allows me to dedicate plenty of time and attention to the pets I care for. I also lead an active lifestyle, so regular walks, playtime, and outdoor exercise are already part of my daily routine. Spending time with animals is something I genuinely enjoy, and I make sure every pet gets the attention, care, and companionship they deserve. I always follow the owner's instructions to make sure their pet's routine stays as consistent as possible. Whether I'm caring for a pet in my home or a client's home, I make sure they have fresh water, are fed on schedule, get plenty of exercise and playtime, and receive lots of attention and affection. I also keep a close eye on their behavior to make sure they're comfortable and happy, and I'm happy to provide updates and photos so owners have peace of mind while they're away.
“Makayla was great and watched our 2 dogs and took care of the house while we were away. She’s super easy going and the dogs loved her and we loved not having to worry about them. Highly recommend”
About: I’ve been caring for dogs and cats for over 15 years and treat every pet like they’re part of my own family. I understand that every animal has a unique personality, routine, and needs, and I take the time to make them feel safe, comfortable, and loved while you’re away. Whether it’s walks, playtime, feeding, medication, puppy care, senior pets, or plenty of cuddles, I’m committed to providing dependable, compassionate care. You can count on regular updates, clear communication, and the peace of mind that your furry family member is in caring hands. I work a full-time schedule but have availability before and after work, evenings, weekends, and most holidays. Pet care is something I genuinely enjoy, and I make it a priority to provide dependable, attentive care. Whether your pet needs a walk, drop-in visit, overnight care, or extra attention while you’re away, I’ll make sure they receive the love, exercise, and routine they’re used to. I always communicate with pet parents and provide updates for peace of mind. Your pet’s safety and comfort are always my top priority. I take the time to learn each pet’s routine, personality, and any special needs so they feel secure and stress free. I carefully follow feeding schedules, medication instructions, and exercise routines while keeping a clean, safe environment. I’ll treat your home with the same respect I treat my own and provide regular updates, photos, and prompt communication so you always know how your pet is doing.

About: Hello! I grew up with pets and have always had an easy time with all types and personalities! I enjoy leading an active lifestyle, and being around animals is always a plus. I'm in my mid-30s, highly responsible and also easygoing. I work in film production, and provide pet care/sitting services on the side. I can provide a safe and welcoming experience for your pet and easily adjust to meet their needs. I have a very flexible schedule and am readily available for questions or concerns. I can also provide photo and/or text updates on your pet while you're away! It's very rewarding and exciting getting to know pets of all breeds and types. I look forward to meeting you and your pet! **Note for larger dogs** Larger dogs are accepted on a case-by-case basis as I am petite and would not want anyone to be inconvenienced if I am physically unable to handle the care of their dog. I work in film production and often have periods of completely open availability. Any potential schedule changes will be brought to your attention as soon as possible! I prioritize a calm and stress-free environment for your pets, while also providing exercise and play time if needed! I go at their pace to provide a feeling of comfort, safety, and (hopefully) familiarty.
“Jessica was wonderful. This was our first experience with a sitter, so I was nervous. She exceeded all of my expectations. Jessica answered all of my questions, was here when she said she would be, played with Bear, took him on nice long walks, sent lots of pictures, and left the house in perfect condition. Thank you so much! We will absolutely have Jessica sit for us again.”

About: I approach all walks of life with an open heart and love. Because of this I believe all critters seek out my affections and makes for fun interactions. I am currently at a cross road in life and looking for new situations that are more fulfilling. I absolutely enjoy spending my time with four legged friends. I have a mostly private fenced in yard with plenty of room for running and playing. I also can provide crates and segregated spots for our friends that need their own space or maybe a little to shy.
“Leslie was an absolute dream. Our other sitter fell through, so we reached out to Leslie and she was amazing with the pups. She was great at communicating and took our puppy on lots of walks. I would recommend her over and over again. We appreciated her help last minute so much!”

“Taylor took excellent care of our dog and cat! We have quite a few "special" requirements for our senior four-legged family members and Taylor was up for the task. She stayed in our home and fit in like a champ! In fact, we've booked Taylor for another (longer) visit. Thank you, Taylor!”

FAQs for House Sitting - Tarrytown
Frequently asked questions about Rover
As of August 2026, there are 1,427 sitters on Rover offering House Sitting across Tarrytown. 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 Tarrytown 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 Tarrytown 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 Tarrytown 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.
