“Rose was amazing! She went above and beyond our expectations! Thankfully, she was available (fairly) short notice and worked with us every step of the way! She sent us pictures of Bolo everyday (to reassure my girlfriend) and kept bolo (who can have really bad separation anxiety) from freaking out. She also finished drying/folding our laundry for us! We really appreciate everything she did, and would 100000000% re-hire her/recommend her for whoever is looking for a dogsitter, walker or anything in between.”
“Cassie is wonderful! She was incredibly responsive and communicative while sitting my dog. I loved how she sent me multiple photos as requested and felt like my dog was in great hands.”
“Konstantin was a wonderful communicator, easy to host while we were away, and had such nice photos and messages to share about our 4 month old puppy making us have peace of mind during our trip. We really appreciated Konstantin's professionalism and courtesy, and care of our space and pet. Thank you so much!”
“Can’t thank Andrea enough for her help! I had her do some house sitting while I was away, so that my cat would have another person around, and from the start, she was wonderful with her communication, positivity, and also asking all of the right questions. Immediately gave me confidence that my house and cat were in good hands. Would 10/10 recommend her! Thank you for being so wonderful Andrea!”
“Emily is such a wonderful person! She instantly connected with our dogs and they felt at home with her right away. She is extremely conscientious and shares lots of helpful updates. We felt super happy and comfortable on our trip with our pups in her care. Book with her if you have a chance!”
“Fiona is a responsible and caring professional. She took great care of my dog and my house and my dog isn't the easiest dog in the world. She followed eating and medication instructions without any trouble and sent great updates. Can't wait to have her again!”

In addition to dog care, Ariana also has extensive experience with cats, horses, bunnies, and miniature donkeys; and some experience with pet cows, pet sheep, chickens, ducks, and fish. She offers Myofascial Release for dogs, cats, and horses as well, although it is charged separately and is dependent upon the pets consent. I am currently working three jobs. One is Tuesday and Saturday or Sunday caring for 8 equids, hours vary. The second is Monday, Wednesday, Thursday, usually from 12 to 3 ,although sometimes it is longer, watching 2 Australian Shepherds. I also house/dog sit for them.

I have availability before, after and inbetween my three day a week jobs, sometimes before or after my tuesday and saturday job, and occasionally on Friday and Sunday. I am able to offer flexible (for example: occasionally house sitting, drop in visits, or walking) for you and your pets! I am willing to accept stays longer than one week depending on the circumstances and other than the midday dog sitting my schedule is flexible especially in the evenings. I do not currently offer services from my home, but I am more than happy to provide on-site services at your home. I have a decent amount of experience providing care for people’s dogs, cats, and other animals within their homes.
“Elizabeth a a wonderful woman. She is so able to assume all your pets needs and she really cares for you pet with all the love you have yourself. She is equally pleasant with adults. Recommend her without reservation.”
“Deanna is a warm and friendly young woman and did a great job of sitting for my two cats while I was away, sleeping over for three nights. She fed them and seemed to genuinely enjoy them. She sent me a photo every day to reassure me. She even cleaned up their vomit without complaining. She left my home neat as a pin, just as she found it. I recommend her and would certainly hire her again.”
About: Hi! My name is Fiona and I’m a lifelong lover of dogs and all animals. I grew up always having 2 to 3 dogs. I was responsible for walking, feeding, grooming, and playing with them. I have experience watching and walking friend’s dogs when needed. I believe each dog deserves special love and attention. I am currently a teacher, so I spend Monday to Friday at work during the day. If the dog is local to Catskill, I’m more than happy to check up on them! Otherwise it’s important to know I’ll be out for some of the day, except for breaks. I’m available for weekend walking and drop-in’s any time! Each pet has their own personality, boundaries, and routine. I want to make sure the pets are comfortable with me so that I can care for them properly.
“We reached out to Angie to house sit our two older pups while we were away for a week on a family trip. The dogs have never stayed with anyone outside of family and friends, so we were a little nervous, especially with one of our dogs having some anxiety. Because of this, we were trying to avoid any kennels. Angie was quick to respond to messages leading up to our departure and even offered to come meet the pups twice before our trip. She did not need to do this, but it meant a lot to us that she did. The dogs warmed up to her immediately. Angie is friendly, responsive, and caring. Our house was just as we had left it. She even cared for our small flock of chickens while we were away. We will be reaching out to Angie again and would recommend her to anyone who’s looking for help with their pets.”
“Chana did an excellent job taking care of my three dogs! She stayed in contact to let us know how things were going and provided us the reassurance that our dogs were in good hands! Thanks Chana! As this experience made our vacation that much better….”
“Jessica was great! Very communicative and knowledgable about dogs, especially doodles! We got daily pictures of Murph. It was a hot weekend so Jessica was kind enough to get up early and get Murph out and walk before it got too hot.”
“Maria was terrific. She has a sweet, calm manner and handled the responsibilities perfectly. Her dog and my dog were very compatible. Maria sent updates with photos and texts. The house was just as I left it and my dog had clearly been well cared for. Its so reassuring to know, if I have this need again, I now have a great person I feel I can depend on.”
“Allie was great! She kept me updated throughout the day with photos and videos of all my dogs. She truly went above and beyond in every sense to make sure my dogs were well cared for and was attentive to every little detail. I would absolutely recommend Allie to anyone. I really felt good that my dogs were in good hands all day.”
About: I’ve been around and taking care of dogs of different breeds since I was 16. Most of my experience has been with friends’ and family members’ dogs. I’ve helped with walks, feeding, playtime, and taking care of them when they stay at my house. I’ve also helped keep their areas clean when needed. I really enjoy spending time with dogs and making sure they feel comfortable, safe, and loved while they’re with me 🐶❤️ I’m available 24/7, which means I’ll have plenty of time to take care of your furry friend and give them lots attention and love :) I live in Berlin, NY, in a quiet area with a large yard where dogs have plenty of space to play and enjoy some time outside. I have a medium sized house and a very friendly 14 year old cat who is used to being around others.
“Evelyn is awesome and I highly recommend her. She is professional, responsive, and most importantly very sweet with our dog, Lola. Lola has high energy, is extremely active, and requires a lot of attention. Evelyn took wonderful care of her over the weekend and when we got back, Lola was so relaxed and happy, it was like we never left. Evelyn took great care of Lola (and our house!). We highly recommend her.”
About: Aside from growing up caring for animals, I’ve worked at a dog daycare for about a year. During my time there I learned a lot about dog behavior and how to read their body language. Now, I am currently studying canine training and management at SUNY Cobleskill where I work with a variety of canine’s daily. So I am currently on summer break from school, so I can assure you I have plenty of time to care for your fur babies! I start my day off by making sure my babies are fed and have fresh water, followed by going out for a walk and playing outside for a little! I have a dog and a cat who is very shy. If needed I have a crate that can be used.
“William did a great job watching all our pets, especially our dog Rosie, who just really loves someone by her side (a lot). We had some unexpected travel changes and William was communicative and flexible as we worked it all out. He is prompt, responsible, and was eager to know the details of how to best care for our pets. Everything went smoothly and we're glad we found William!”

Rochelle was great — she arrived on time, was very responsive, and kept me updated with messages and photos while I was away. My dogs especially Peach loved her right away, and I felt comfortable knowing they were in good hands. I’d be happy to book with her again.

Frequently asked questions about Rover
The average cost of House Sitting in Tivoli is $72 per night as of November 2026. Most bookings cost between $67 and $115 per night. On Rover, sitters set their own rates based on factors such as their experience, the length of care, the number of pets, and your pet’s specific needs. As long as your booking dates and pet profiles are accurate, the price shown before you confirm is the total, including any booking fee.
As of November 2026, there are 425 sitters on Rover offering House Sitting across Tivoli. 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 Tivoli 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 Tivoli 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 Tivoli 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 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 Meet & Greet.
sitters on Rover set their own cancellation policy, 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.
Yes, you can find sitters who have experience with handling special pet needs in Tivoli. On Rover:
- 90% of sitters can help with special care needs
- 93% 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.
