“We have had Max for 6 years and have always been lucky to have a family member nearby, until now. Elizabeth was amazing! Max fell in love with her during their first meeting. She stayed at the house and walked, fed and played with him. While we were away, she would check in at least 2x per day with a message from Max and pictures, which put my mind at ease immediately. Max was happy and healthy when we got home. We look forward to having Max's new BFF come to take care of him again!!”
“Ariana took great care of our dogs! She made sure they played and were safe during a huge storm. She also made sure they got a lot of snuggles. We will definitely be booking with her again.”
“Eric did a house / dog sit at my home for about a week. He was an excellent communicator and gave me great updates on how my pup, Lucy, was doing. The house was in great shape when I returned and Lucy was clearly happy and well taken care of. Would highly recommend Eric for any rover needs. Thanks!”
“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!”
“Maggie was great! She sent lots of pictures and detailed updates throughout the stay, which I really appreciated and made me feel comfortable knowing my dog was in good hands. She was super nice, communicative, and took great care of him. I would definitely book with Maggie again!”
“Julia was fantastic! I was nervous about leaving our 12 year old blind Boston terrier, for the first time, with a stranger, but Elle took to her immediately. The wonderful photos she sent showed us that she was happy. Julia took wonderful care of Elle and our home too. We have already booked her for 2 more trips!”
“Melaina is our dream sitter! She's amazing with our boys (dog and cat) and sent so many sweet photos. She took great care of the house and is just overall a lovely person. Would give 6 stars if we could!”
“Samantha was so great with our last minute request for some dog sitting! She kept us updated with pictures and what our pup was to. It felt great knowing we were leaving him in good hands!”

“Maddie was by far the best dog sitter. I have two golden retrievers that love to run, play fetch and go on hikes. She did all of the above and more. she sent me pictures, took the dogs hiking at the reservation, they went on 2 mile walks, played fetch and were very well taken care of. She is kind, respectful, communicative, and truly loved our fur babies. I highly recommend her. I will definitely hire her when we travel. I cannot thank her enough!! 🩷🦴🐾🦮”
About: I am new to online pet care! I have had pets all my life and have pet sit family and friends fur babies for over 20 years! Last 5 years I have been pet sitting outside of family & friends pets. I am experienced in small-medium sized dogs mainly. I've never pet sit a cat before but i do have a cat of my own! Currently, the pets i have in the house are two dogs, 1 cat and 1 reptile. I work full time, 2 days out of the week I work from home. My hours are flexible so if changes are needed no worries! I do not work weekends. At my home: I have a fenced in yard. If your pet has special requirements i will follow those requirements without a problem. My home will be their home during their stay. My house isn’t set up like a boarding school. They will hang with us in the living room, follow us throughout the house if they want too. If you have special rules, I will follow them. I have two dogs, the dogs i pet-sit would have to be ok with dogs. I have a cat who mainly remains downstairs with my son. If your dog does not like cats that will not be a problem. Clients home: your house, your rules! i will follow the schedule you have for your pets!
About: I have professionally walked dogs for over 17 years. I was a receptionist for an Animal Hospital and have training for animals with special needs or require daily medications. I have many years experience owning and caring for a wide variety of animals, dogs, cats, rabbits, birds, bearded dragons, chickens, just to name a few. I really love helping people with their pets. Sometimes with a little training when necessary or minor healthcare issues. I also have experience with pregnant and nursing dogs. I offer puppy daycare and training. I have helped desperate owners keep their pets when the issues become serious problems. Sometimes just a few lessons about routine and consistency solve everything. I will take care of your baby like he/she is my own. How does pet care for into my daily routine? This is an odd question, anyone with a pet knows what the daily routine would be. Pet care varies from pet to pet but how I would care for anyones pet is how I would expect anyone to care for their own pets. Usually any pet I care for becomes bonded to me.
About: Hi, I have a mini poodle, she is 10 years old. I know how to care senior dogs or puppies. I really love dogs. I did petsitting for my friends *Westchester and Bronx Pet care fits into my routine mainly during evenings and weekends. I’m more flexible on weekends but we can find time. I can provide services in both Westchester and the Bronx. Please let me know your location so I can confirm availability. Whether I’m caring for pets in my home or yours, I always prioritize their safety and comfort. I never give pets human food, and I make sure to follow any dietary restrictions or allergy information you provide. I take pets out as often as they need and treat them with the same love and attention I give to my own family.
About: My dog Chanel is my world so it would be a pleasure to share that same love to others. I’ve grown up around dogs between all of my family so this is a joy to experience. I currently work day shifts and very loyal to my schedule of care with my dog at home. It would be no burden or issue at all to care for others 4 legged friends. The same care I provide to my own as if she was my daughter is the same care I’d give to others pets. Any dog in my care is my family.
“My two Jack Russell’s had a great time with Shannon while she did a 5 day house sit with them. Shannon regularly kept us up to date on their wellbeing with pictures and texts. She also was able to help us out for an extra day when our flight was delayed returning home and ensured the dogs were still taken care of while we were delayed getting home. The house looked great when we got back and we had two happy pups. Thanks again Shannon!”
“Julianna was a lifesaver. 5 days before my vacation the person who I hired to watch our dogs had to cut the sitting short. I reached out to Julianna and she responded quickly. She met us for a meet and greet that same night since I was trying to find someone to watch our dogs. She is amazing! Very communicative and set us updates and pictures. Our dogs were in great hands! I will be using Julianna for future house sitting! Thanks Julianna!”
About: Hi my name is Destin and I’m a working professional based out of Orange County NY. Unfortunately I’m not boarding due to owning a cat myself. However, I’m always open to other opportunities! Please don’t hesitate to reach out with any questions! I always make time to care for any pet! I’ll move things around to prioritize. My daily and weekly routines are very similar with little to no changes. Unfortunately I’ve halted boarding due to owning a cat myself. However, I’m always open to other opportunities! Regardless of where I care for pets, they’re always safe, secure and will have fun!
“Maddy was incredible!! I felt so comfortable having her at our home. She took pictures everyday and kept us updated with how our pups were doing. We have 3 crazy dogs and she handled them all with ease. Will definitely be booking with her again!”

Pet parents share their Rover experiences - Thiells
Rai is a great, very patient, pet sitter! She watched our two senior dogs (and our rabbit) in our home for a week. One of the dogs is a rescue and takes a very long time to warm up to new people. Rai was extremely patient with her despite the incessant barking!
Flower is THE pet sitter you are looking for! I have a new rescue who doesn't usually even let anyone in the house. I was very apprehensive about trying to get a way for a few days. Flower knew just how to get him to trust her when we did a meet and greet. I was shocked! When she arrived for her stay with him, he greeted her like a long lost friend. Flower is very conscientious. She followed my ridiculously detailed instructions precisely; asked thoughtful questions and is a pleasure to work with. I returned to a very happy pup and a home the way I left it. I couldn't recommend her more highly. Treat yourself (and your pet) to a carefree vacation.

Frequently asked questions about Rover
As of October 2026, there are 16,994 sitters on Rover offering House Sitting across Thiells. 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 Thiells 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 Thiells 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 Thiells 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 , 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 .
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 casual meeting to vet potential sitters and communicate care needs for peace of mind before a booking begins. Only sitters who have never booked with you before can schedule a Meet & Greet on Rover; however, you are welcome to coordinate one in Rover messages with sitters you have previously booked. This can be helpful if you have a new pet or routine you want to go over with your sitter.
Meet & Greets can take place in person or virtually. If you are booking with a sitter for the first time, we recommend in-person Meet & Greets to get a clearer sense of how your sitter interacts with your pet 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. Meet & Greets are a great way to prepare your pet and sitter for longer stays or first-time bookings. Read our tips for your first .
sitters on Rover set their own , which you can find on their profile under their contact information. Sitters may set a same-day, one-, three-, or seven-day cancellation policy. Cancelling within your sitter’s cancellation policy qualifies you for a full refund.
Same-day cancellations for recurring services, which include walks, drop-ins, and day care, follow the full refund policy. Otherwise, for pet boarding and house sitting, if you cancel after 12 pm on the applicable cancellation deadline, you’ll receive a 50% refund for the first seven days of the booking and a 100% refund for any remaining days.
If your sitter needs to cancel within seven days of the booking's start date, then our reservation protection will kick in. This means you will get a full refund and our support team will work with you to find a replacement sitter.
