“Jordan was awesome. She didn’t sign up for this, but was stuck on one of the islands during the big Nor’Easter watching our dog Frannie. She did an amazing job keeping her safe while braving the storm. She was one of the MVPs of our wedding weekend”
About: I have always had a love for animals. Growing up, I always had pets, mostly dogs and cats but also rodents, snakes, and frogs. I have also volunteered for 2 animal shelters in the past and still actively volunteer at one with walking dogs. I am currently in school and working part time but somehow still have plenty of free time! I love helping out people especially when it comes to caring for their pets when they cannot, whether that be at work or on vacation. I will always keep any animals on leashes or in the house. I will keep the same principles as my own dogs and will always keep them safe and keep their boundaries granted.
“This was our first time using Rover and we were a little apprehensive. But Jared came and met our dogs before staying and made us feel at ease. He sent us updates and did everything he said he would. We had a great experience and will be asking him to come back again!”
About: I have had pets for as long as I can remember and i’ve always had a passion for working with animals. I have experience as a dog bather so i’ve seen various breeds and i’ve met dogs of all ages! I am an animal lover, I’ve taken care of all types of animals from dogs and cats to goats and cows 🐄. I am determined to make your pets time with me as stress free as possible! pets>people! ❤️ I am currently working part time, so your pets will have my full attention! I have a dog myself as well as two cats who I am responsible for as well as other family pets. I have one dog who is very friendly, and two outside cats. if your dog is stressed by other animals I am able to set up a crate if needed in a separate room or also just spend a lot of time outside with your dog to keep them happy and away from the stress. I have a fenced backyard and a safe neighborhood for walks. This also applies to your home
About: I have worked with animals at a boarding facility and then transferred to two veterinary hospital as a technician assistant and training tech. I also own my own dog named Titan who is 9 years old and a cat named Mami who is around 3. I’m pretty well trained with aggressive pets and even messy one who tend to potty leak because of old age! I’m extremely loving with every pets and love to give them as much photo ops as I can during our play dates to update the parent :) I’m currently in school full time but attend them mostly online. On Tuesday I go from 2-4:30pm and am free for the rest of the week. Safety and comfort are always my top priorities when caring for pets. I have experience working as a veterinary assistant, so I’m familiar with monitoring pet behavior, recognizing signs of stress or illness, and safely handling animals. In my home and my client’s home, I keep the environment clean, calm, and pet-friendly. I also follow any instructions given by the owner, including feeding schedules, medication, crate routines, or special care. As a pet owner myself with both a dog and a cat, I understand how important it is to treat every pet with patience, kindness, and attention.
“Cassie was wonderful with our kiddos! She stayed at our house with our 6 dogs, yes 6! and sent us several pictures and updates while we were away. Would ABSOLUTELY recommend her, she was the best!”
About: I have had dogs all my life. I would love to share my love of dogs with your pet in my home when you book I’m retired and would love for my dog Ginger to have some company once in a while. She is a very well behaved friendly Labadoodle I have a large fenced in yard and I also like to go on hikes or the park for walks if your pet likes that
“I was really nervous about leaving my dog and 2 cats, however Haley and Quinn were very responsive to my calls and requests. They are Amazing. We have one cat that is very skittish, Haley and Quinn are able to warm him over within a short period of time. When we arrived home, the animals were happy and healthy and our home was well taken care of We would recommend Haley and Quinn to everyone.”
“Andrew did everything he was asked and more. Pups loved him. He came to my house 3x to take care of dogs and even adjusted his schedule when I had to change it due to surgery. I hope he will come back!”
About: I’ve taken care of cats and dogs my whole life. My babies are lifers. Your animal is my number one priority. I prefer animals over humans any day I quit my job to walk dogs full time. I’m always available if you need me. Your babies are my babies. I’d prefer dogs over humans I have a fenced in yard and no one can escape. I abide by what the client asks for in their and my own home. I walk, play with your dog if toys are presented
“Andrew cared for my older dog at his place and on drop in visits many times over the last year and when I told him I needed him to dog sit my new rescue pup who is not yet housetrained at my place he didn’t flinch. He jumped right in and picked up potty training and gave me some pro advice. I love the updates he provides (and he even includes my cats in the fun). Very responsive and caring.”
About: I believe animals should receive love, attention, and care the same as humans do. I’ve been surrounded by animals almost my entire life and i’ve learned to care for an animals in many ways. From nail clippings, vet visits, nap sessions and quality time, and even trying a new snack to cure their craving. I am a first responder so dealing with animals is something I handle daily! Every encounter is different but I intend on getting the animal home safe to their family and owner! Animals are family so their deserve the best care at all times! I am a police officer and I work 4 days (2 days 6am-6pm/ 2 nights 6pm-6am), then i’m off for 4 days. My schedule rotates but I have so much time on my hands. I don’t find it any better to spend my down time with animals which I enjoy, and helping out someone who needs it! I have a 4 year old Maltese and a 10 year old cat. I allow my animals to walk around freely because they’re both potty trained, and get along very well. I allow my dog to eat at certain times due to him not eating too much and gaining a lot since he’s a smaller dog. I allow my cat to eat whenever he likes. I take my dog out 3-4 times out a day, sometimes more whenever I see him standing but the door. I give my dog 1 treat per day and i bathe him every 2 weeks. My dog gets groomed every month depending on the season and if I want his fur to grow out. What I offer is dog walks, stop ins, dog sitting over night or during the day with whatever aligns with my schedule.
“Katie connected really well with our skittish little pup Gigi when she took care of her and Presley overnight on short notice. Katie is personable, trustworthy, and all around down to earth and the kind of person you can trust to take care of your home and fur babies. Thanks Katie! We look forward to seeing you again in the future.”
About: I have been lucky enough to be surrounded by animals my whole life. I’m the go-to sitter for my family and friends. From gentle care for senior pets to patience for the energetic younger ones, I treat every animal like they’re part of my own family. I currently work part time with a flexible schedule so with enough heads up I could be available any time or day of the week. When caring for another dog in anyone’s home their comfortability, safety and happiness is my #1 priority. Your pet is safe with me and they will be treated the way I hope someone else would treat mine.
About: I work remotely from my cozy home in Northfield most days a week, and I love furry company! I have a large back yard and live in a calm neighbourhood with lots of treelined streets to walk your pups through. I can also petsit your babies in your own home since my work is remote. I've been taking care of animals for friends for years and just realized I could be doing this more often through Rover! I work remotely and it's very flexible work. I love to take breaks and go out for walks frequently, and if your animal fits on my lap they'll most likely be there most of the time! If they have anxious tendencies I have lots of experience with helping them calm down and feel secure with me. I love to snuggle and will give your animals lots of cuddles and love! I have a big yard where your pup can run on the line. I make sure to feed your animals on time and take them out for frequent walks in my neighbourhood, parks nearby, or at the dog beach!

Frequently asked questions about Rover
As of October 2026, there are 322 sitters on Rover offering House Sitting across Tuckahoe. 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 Tuckahoe 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 Tuckahoe 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.
<b>Tip:</b> 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 Tuckahoe 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.
