About: I’ve loved and cared for animals my whole life. Friends, family, and peers trust me to take care of their pets while they’re away. I made sure that they returned home better than ever like they went on a vacation too! I have experience with high-energy pups to senior dogs and can adapt to their personality and pace. I enjoy caring for animals from walking, playing, administering medication, grooming, and providing a calm space. What find most important is being patient and attentive to what your pet specifically needs. My top priority is always keeping pets happy and healthy. I’m currently on a break from school and not working on anything else. My dog, cat, and turtle keep me company in the house. I enjoy daily walks, visiting the park, and sunset outings. Rain or shine I’m available to go on walks, have playtime, visit parks, or give cozy cuddles. I’d be happy to take dogs out to walk wherever they’re most comfortable. I can also assist with grooming, clean up, take in mail, water plants, or any other tasks. I’m currently not taking pets into my home but I am willing to travel.
“Kristine watched our two very shy kitties while we were away for a week. She dropped in twice a day and sent updates and photos for each visit. Our girls are rescues and we’ve only had them for 5 months, so they like to hide around new people. Even so, Kristine always sent us a picture of each kitty in their hiding spot, which really put our minds at ease while we were away. I won’t hesitate to use Kristine in the future.”
“Karen, thank you for taking care of our cat! Our kitty is an unusual one in that she does her business outside like a dog, and Karen’s flexibility was appreciated. Karen must have the magic touch because the cat started drinking from the water fountain I’ve introduced her to every day for three months 😂 prompt visits and great photos. Thank you!”
About: I have grown up with dogs and cats (and a few fish, turtles, a bunny, two goats...) have volunteered to care for dogs, and have pet-sitted for a few friends! I love every furry (or even non-furry!) being, big or small. My family currently has 4 dogs, and while I was back for college when we first got Tommy, our oldest, I would take care of him every day, playing around and feeding him as a small puppy, as my mom left for work and errands. Our dogs are now grown, and it's been beautiful being able to spend time and play with them. I have taken care of cats as well, especially my friend's, and I take being safe, precise, and clean seriously! My current schedule is completely open, with time for walks, talks, and pets! I would also be happy to stay with a pet for an extended time. Unfortunately, I cannot host any pets as I don't yet have a place of my own. However, I am perfectly comfortable with visiting and staying with pets over extended lengths of time! I like to keep a close watch, play, and cuddle, but I also respect any pet that needs their space or alone time. Pets, especially dogs, feel like small children to me, and I take their well-being seriously.
“Elisa was a wonderful sitter for our two kitties. I greatly appreciated the extra effort she took to work with us when our schedule changed due to bad weather. And I know Jack enjoyed getting a little play time!”
“Dali was amazing! She was super responsive and made time before the visit date to see my cats! During the drop-in visit, she took a lot of pictures of them and sent me reports about her visit and how they were doing. I could tell she was committed to paying full attention to my cats! We’d definitely ask Dali next time we need a pet sitter :)”
About: Hello! I’ve been in the pet care industry for 3 years professionally, and almost my whole life personally through friends and family. I’m an animal lover, and I’m ready to meet some new friends! I used to service dogs in East Midtown and have experience with many breeds and temperaments. I also own cats and have worked professionally as a cat sitter in Chelsea/Downtown. I recently moved to the area and can offer walks, sittings, and boarding. We can set up a free meet and greet to see how we can work together to help your companion thrive. I work 10am through 6pm Monday-Friday for walks, extra charge for anything outside of that time frame and weekends/holidays. Inquire about sittings/boardings. Safety is always my priority when it comes to any sort of service. I follow any given instructions and communicate with the parents if I have any questions/concerns. I’m also CPR certified.
“Jorge is a dream! He is extremely diligent, on time and very communicative with each visit. We have a moody anxious 12 year old AMSTAFF and he gives her space and works with her. We didn’t have to worry about her while we were away and it’s such a relief!”
“Ariana was a fantastic sitter for our babies! She came on time or even a little early and got fantastic photos and updates of the kitties and ratties. And yes, she took care of our little rodent friends, making sure they had food while we were gone for a long weekend. Would definitely recommend Ariana and would love for her to sit for us again in the future!”
“Bella is so reliable and takes great care of our little terrier. I never worry about my dog when she’s in Bella’s very capable and caring hands. Lets us do our away-from-home activities with total peace of mind.”
About: My 3 kids and I run a small business caring for animals mostly dogs. All 3 are in their 20’s. My son, Adam does most of the walks and house sitting, I handle the boarding. My reviews are not only for me but for my boys as well. I come from a long line of animal lovers and grew up with many dogs, cats, birds, hamsters. Animals are my life! They offer unconditional love and rely on us to give them love, affection and to meet all of their basic needs. I own my own home on a private dead end street. When your fur babies are here, they are part of our family and are never left alone. There is always someone at home. My mission is to make sure all pups in my care, feel safe, loved and happy. I recently left my job in the medical field. I’m spending my time now with my adult children and my dogs. Life is too short to not do what you love everyday Safety is a priority in my home and I live on a private street with only two houses so there is absolutely zero traffic here
“As new puppy owners it can obviously be nerve-wracking the first few weeks, especially when it comes time to first have someone else care for them. We had to go out one evening so we contacted Ryan to see if he was available. Ryan's communication was very responsive and he took excellent care of our puppy. Would use Ryan again.”
“Lizette was a wonderful sitter during our recent week away. It’s been very reassuring to get her detailed updates and to know someone caring and responsible is checking in on the kitties and our home when we’re away. We’re so grateful for her time and highly recommend her.”
About: I’ve been caring for pets since I was in school—neighbors and friends would often ask for my help and thank me with small tips, which I used to buy school supplies. Over the years, my love for animals grew, and I eventually adopted my own dog, whom I’ve been caring for for the past nine years. I offer flexible availability on weekends at any time of day, which can be especially helpful in case of last-minute needs or emergencies. I kindly ask that you notify me at least three days in advance for any pet-sitting requests. I prioritize caring for pets in the comfort of their own home, as familiar surroundings can help reduce stress. I also enjoy taking them for walks in their neighborhood to keep them active and happy. I would have flexibility on weekends at any time of the day for greater comfort or if an emergency arises. 2 days before let me know about day sitting. Thank you I would care for your pet in the comforts of their space, sometimes it is easier when they recognize the space and additionally take them out for walks in their neighborhood.
“Jocelyn goes above and beyond! And our dog just loves her! It is clear Jocelyn treats all dogs like her own, and we are so happy to have someone we trust who our dog loves!”
About: Animals have always been a huge part of my life! I’ve had both dogs and cats for as long as I can remember and have been caring for different breeds on my own since my teenage years. Friends and family regularly trust me with their pets, and I’m also a proud dog parent to Bob and cat parent to Nathan! I truly love animals and would be delighted to care for your furry family members while you’re away. I’m a real estate agent serving Westchester, NYC, and Long Island, which gives me a very flexible schedule. While most of my showings are on weekends, I work remotely during the week and can be fully present with your pets. I’m happy to provide overnight care as well, so your furry friends (and your home) are safe, comfortable, and well looked after while you’re away. Your pet’s comfort and routine come first. In your home, I follow your care instructions closely — feeding, walks, litter care, medications, and of course plenty of love and playtime. I aim to keep everything feeling normal and stress-free while you’re away. If pets stay with me, they receive constant supervision, a clean and cozy environment, and lots of enrichment and attention. I’m very attentive to each animal’s personality and needs. I also send regular photo and video updates so you always know how your furry friend is doing.
“We came home to two happy kitties. I really appreciate the time Jessica takes to try to get to know our cats and coax them out of hiding! She had our most shy cat venturing out and accepting treats from her hand.”

Lori really helped us out at the very last minute while we were already away on vacation and our other sitter stopped showing up without any notice. She took great care of our 2 cats and was able to give them both their medications with no problems. We are so grateful for her help!
Elisa is absolutely amazing! She gave detailed updates and pictures to reassure me that the cats were doing well while I was away! They are usually super shy with new people but they definitely made a new friend since meeting Elisa! I will definitely be using her services again next time we need someone to take care of my little guys! She made me feel such at ease while I was away! Thank you so much Elisa!
All of my cats love Michelle! Not only does she feed them and empty their litter boxes… she plays with them, brushes them, gives them treats, sends updates and great pictures, and keeps everything neat and clean… She also spends quiet time with my senior cat who just loves her company… Michelle always goes above and beyond…
Araxie took wonderful care of Ella and Ira while I was away for a week. She was reliable, communicative, and sent updates and photos that put my mind at ease the whole trip. Both cats were clearly relaxed and well looked after when I got home, and she left everything tidy. I'd happily book her again and recommend her to any cat owner.
We love working with Jorge. He is the gold standard for professionalism and consistency. With other dog sitters (private and on platforms) we’ve seen a pattern where they are engaged at first and then trail off, but we have been working with Jorge for a long while and he has never given less than 110%. Best caregiver we have worked with for our sweet girl!
Vicenzza showed up on time and was reliable, communicative, and caring throughout the visit. She took great care of Tucker, and I felt completely comfortable knowing he was in good hands. The whole experience was easy and stress-free. I would definitely book with her again.
She was amazing! She did everything exactly as requested, including changing the pee pads, refreshing Oreo’s water, cleaning up after him, giving him his lick mat, and spending time playing with him. She also kept everything clean and followed all of my instructions perfectly. I really appreciated the care and attention she gave Oreo, and I felt completely at ease knowing he was in good hands. I would definitely book her again and highly recommend her!

Rover makes budgeting the cost of Pet Sitting easy. As long as your dates and pet profiles are correct, the price you see before you book is the same price you pay for Pet Sitting. For more information on service fees, click here .
As of September 2026, there are 26,940 sitters on Rover offering Pet Sitting across Tuckahoe. Enter your ZIP code to see which available sitters are closest to your home.
A pet sitter can provide focused care sessions, help your pet’s routine stay on track, or keep you updated on your pet’s mood and energy levels.
Whether you’re at the office for the day or traveling for a few nights, a pet sitter can offer potty breaks during a Tuckahoe stroll, cleaning the litter box, or making sure your pet has on-time food or water refills. For daytime services like walking and drop-ins, you can also request sitters to send a report card with every visit.
Tip: You can discuss your specific arrangements with a pet sitter on Rover to what fits you, your pet, and your sitter’s needs. To find what their special skills are, look at the "Skills" and "Pet care experience" sections on their profile.
If you would like updates while you’re away, you can discuss with your sitter how many or how frequent you’d like those updates to be. The Rover app allows sitters to send photos, videos, and messages about your pet, including how many pee or poop breaks occurred. You can message your sitter at any time through the app and our support team is available 24/7 by email or chat if you have concerns.
The personalized, in-home nature of pet care through Rover can mean more individual attention for your pet.
Many pet parents provide a spare key or arrange a lockbox. You can also exchange keys during the Meet & Greet and show your walker how to use digital fobs or personalized codes. It helps to arrange access to your home, from spare keys to concierge introductions, before pet care begins.
If you live in an apartment or condo, don’t forget to discuss details like buzzer access, codes, or elevator etiquette. These details can help a pet sitter feel more comfortable going in and out of your building.
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 .
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.
Yes, you can find sitters who have experience with handling special pet needs in Tuckahoe. On Rover:
- 88% of sitters can help with special care needs
- 92% can help with giving oral medications or injections
- 95% 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.
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.
