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.

About: I have taken care of pets my entire life. I’ve had dogs, cats and fish. I’ve cared for lizards and small furry friends as well. I will always stop to pet a dog and I’ve had animals come up to me out in the wild on multiple occasions. Although I currently do not have a pet, I love sitting for my friends. I’ve cared for all size and age of dog from a few months to 16 years. I believe pets are family and should be treated as such. Im currently off for the summer but teaching summer school for the month of July. My schedule is pretty open and much if what I do have scheduled is flexible. Although I live in an apartment, my complex is extremely pet friendly with 4 dog parks and a full walking loop with poop bags around the entire property.

“Keira was awesome with the "zoo" at my house. She was very conscientious and connected right away with all my pets. She kept me very well updated on how everyone was doing and was very flexible and easy to work with. I felt at peace knowing my pets were in good hands while I was away. Would recommend her as an A++ pet sitter!”

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 🐄.

“Kristina has been an absolutely phenomenal pet sitter for Bear and Luna. From the very start, she was incredibly communicative, thoughtful, and attentive — which made all the difference in giving us true peace of mind while we were away. She handled everything with such calm competence, even when unexpected little house quirks popped up (like a door that decided not to lock properly) or when one mischievous pup decided that stealing toilet paper was the highlight of the day. Kristina adjusted seamlessly to each situation, keeping us informed and resolving things with a level-headed, proactive approach. I loved receiving her messages and photos. It meant so much to see Bear and Luna happy, relaxed, and clearly well cared for. Her updates were detailed and reassuring — you could genuinely feel how much she cared about them. It’s not easy to leave your home and your furry children in someone else’s care, but with Kristina, we truly felt they were in the very best hands. We are so grateful for her warmth, reliability, and professionalism, and we wouldn’t hesitate for a second to recommend her and will be reaching out to her with hopes that she will care for our pets again!”

About: I've raised dogs my entire life! Over the last 5 years, I've started house sitting for family friends for upwards of 3-4 weeks at a time, adding cats, bunnies, and birds to the rotation. Currently until the end of June, I will be working about 4 days a week as a substitute teacher. I'm usually out of the house by 6:30a and home around 3:15p. If it's a day where I don't have a job scheduled, then I'm free :) I am very adaptable, reliable, clean and thoughtful when it comes to caring for clients animals, especially in their homes. I will be cognizant of whatever rules and guidelines you lay out for me to make sure your animal is getting the best care!

About: I’ve watched multiple dogs at once all my life, making sure they get all the attention and love they need. I also love to just walk around so your babies will get the exercise they need. I’m free most hours Sunday through Thursday. Saturday and Friday get a little iffy but I’m sure I can work stuff out. I work part time so most of my day would be spent caring for your dogs. I will play with your dog walk them as long as they need. I’ll let them out and make sure they are as safe as they can be.

About: I’ve been around dogs my whole life and currently have two 2-year-old American Bulldogs that I raised and trained from puppies. Because of that, I’m especially experienced with puppy care, basic training, and handling large, high-energy dogs. I’ve also cared for dogs of all sizes, from small family dogs to larger breeds, so I’m comfortable adapting to each dog’s unique personality and needs. My goal is to make every pet feel safe, comfortable, and loved while you’re away. I currently work a couple of evenings each week at a restaurant and train for soccer for about two hours on some mornings, which leaves me with plenty of flexibility to provide pet care. Whether it’s walks, drop-in visits, or overnight stays, I’m committed to giving your pet the attention, exercise, and care they deserve. When caring for pets in your home, I’ll follow your routine as closely as possible to help them feel comfortable and secure. I’ll make sure they have plenty of attention, exercise, playtime, fresh food and water, and any medications if needed. I’ll also keep your home clean, provide regular updates with photos, and treat both your pet and your home with the same care and respect I would my own.

FAQs for House Sitting - Tuckahoe

Frequently asked questions about Rover

As of July 2026, there are 352 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.

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 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 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.

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

  • 100% of sitters can help with special care needs
  • 100% can help with giving oral medications or injections
  • 100% 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.
