“We were very happy with the care our dogs received from Mikella. Mikella was professional, responsive, and generally invested in making sure my dogs felt comfortable and had attention. I received regular updates photos and messages that gave me total piece of mine while I was away.”
“Kaleb took great care of both my pups and left my apparent in great condition for when I arrived home from my trip! He stayed a week in my apartment with my dogs and sent daily updates with clear communication. Both dogs seemed to enjoy his company and were kept busy with 3 walks a day. Kaleb was kind and easy to work with, will use his services again!”
“Maria was very communicative and did not hesitate to ask any questions which made me feel more comfortable her first time house/dog sitting! She left the place spotless, would have never known she was there! Won't hesitate to hire again.”
“Kori was the best! She gave lots of updates, sent pictures and videos, and answered right away whenever we reached out to her. Our timid dog became completely comfortable with her and was able to have a relaxing time at home while we were gone. It was so relieving knowing she was being well taken care of. Would definitely use Kori again in the future!”
About: As a Registered Nurse, caring for others has always been at the heart of who I am. That same compassion and attention to detail naturally extends to animals.. I know your pets are family, and I’ll care for them with the same patience, love, and vigilance I’d want for my own. Whether it’s keeping them on their routine, giving medications, or simply providing plenty of playtime, cuddles, and companionship, my goal is to keep them safe, healthy, happy, and loved while you’re away so you can have complete peace of mind. I believe your pets deserve my undivided attention. That’s why I only accept one family at a time. My hybrid work schedule allows me to work from home two days per week. Depending on how far your home is from my office, I am also able to come home for lunch for walks or playtime. If your pet is happiest in their own environment, I’m happy to provide care in your home. I can care for multiple dogs, cats, or a combination of pets, and I’m also open to caring for other animals. My goal is to keep your pets safe, comfortable, and maintain their normal routine while you’re away. Every pet is unique, so I’d love to learn about your needs and how I can provide the best care for your furry (or feathered or scaled!) family members. Let’s chat and create a plan that’s perfect for you and your pets!
“Madelaine was amazing with our 2 pups!!! They did a sleep over one night and they were so comfortable with her, they both slept through the night and were happy smiling pups when we got home from our weekend away. We were so happy, we have booked Madelaine for our next week away. 10/10 recommend!”
“Sara was a lovely sitter! She was extremely communicative and sent lots of photos. We felt so comfortable with her watching our pup in our home while we were gone and we could truly trust our dog was in good hands. We came home to a spotless house! She’s going to be our new go-to. Thank you so much Sara!”
“Collette did a great job taking care of our two girls. We got multiple daily photos and small updates on how everyone was doing. They also made the girls comfortable and made them felt like we never left. Collette also made sure our house was clean and tidy before we returned. Highly recommend!”
“This was our first time using Rover and Kayla absolutely put our minds at ease. We have two cats who love attention, and that’s just want Kayla did. She was great at communicating before and during the visit. Definitely recommend!”
“This was the first time leaving Gracie for several days. Mel did such a great job keeping her anxiety level low. We felt keeping Gracie in her own home environment would be the best. Mel did such a wonderful job taking care of Gracie. We will definitely use Mel the next time! I would highly recommend her!”
“Kaity was such a great companion for Kiki and Lenny. She was responsive to messages, came for a meet and greet and the arranged time, and took great care of our dogs. We will definitely book her the next time we are out of town!!”
“Kendall was beyond friendly and responsible. She was extra caring communicating with us before we booked with her, sending her ETA when she came for a meet and greet when we were looking for a house and dog sitter. Kendall is the perfect house sitter as she is self employed and therefore can do a lot of work from home. She let us know exactly when she had outside commitments such as business meetings so we knew our pup would have plenty of company while we were gone. She also asked many questions to make sure she knew exactly what we were hoping for in terms of care. We received many updates and photos while we were gone and Kendall sounded like she generally enjoyed everything about taking care of our pup. Kendall left our home in spectacular condition. Thank You Kendall!”
“Ezra is wonderful. He took care of our dog Rev very well, and kept us updated while we were away. We came back to a clean house and a happy dog. We love that he took Rev for a hike and also to meet some people for socializing. I would definitely think of him again when we have other trips out of town.”
About: I’ve never lived a day in my life without having a dog by my side, and I can confidently say that I can’t imagine it any other way. From puppies to our older friends, I love them just like they’re my own. After many years spent with different breeds, sizes, and ages, I am also well versed in common health conditions. I am especially fond of senior dogs and would be honored to care for them. I have recently begun a full time job in Richmond but still petsit often since I truly enjoy it. My schedule best suits check ins with pets in the mornings or evenings. I have the most flexibility on Sundays and Mondays and can do midday visits usually only on those days. You will never have to worry about how your baby is doing. Because of my own personal (and very anxiety inducing!) experiences with being away from my boy, I am very diligent about keeping pet parents in the loop.
“Andrea stayed with my dog for me so I could go on a much needed long weekend away. I was so confident after meeting with her that I had no worries while I was away. I knew Chewbacca was in great hands. I would recommend her and is definitely my go-to sitter in the future!”
About: I was the kid who brought home strays! My love for animals expands from common house pets to exotic pets. Currently my home is open to boarding for cats. I do have one cat in the home, she is spayed, up to date, and does well with other cats. I offer dog walking, and I have experience with puppies, multiple dogs, and nervous/excitable dogs as well. I work about 10-15 hours per week in the afternoon. My mornings are filled with walks, workouts, college work, and daily prep. Weekends consist of park outings and family time. Our cat is a family member, and your family member will be treated as such too! My son loves laser pointers, so our kitty girl is always entertained. I feed on a morning / early evening schedule. My day always ends on the couch with Dolly in my lap.
“Can not recommend Amanda enough! She went above and beyond to meet all of my dogs needs and sent an update on every visit. My dog, Bowie, is high energy and requires an extensive walk and other care to get his energy out, and Amanda was able to keep him happy. Will re-use her any time she is available and 5 stars all around for Amanda :)”
“Le’Yana was amazing ! My first time using the app to book someone to watch my dog and I don’t regret it ! Very sweet women , definitely would be booking her again . Thank you”

Pet parents share their Rover experiences - Tuckahoe
Alethea is the best! She took great care of our boy and our home while we were away. When there was thunder and fireworks she comforted our pup, turning on music & playing with him to keep him distracted. She asked great questions during the meet & greet and before sitting to ensure he was well taken care of and followed everything perfectly. Our house was left even better than we left it. Would highly recommend Alethea!
Winston, Sofi and I loved Frances ! She sent me videos and pictures of the kitties throughout my time away and that really helped calm my nerves. Communication with Frances is amazing as she is really responsive and overall just a good soul. Definitely recommend booking her to watch your babies !
Sara did a great job taking care of Bella while we were away. We felt very comfortable knowing Bella was in good hands, and everything went smoothly. We really appreciate the care and attention she gave her. Thank you so much for taking such good care of our baby!
Helena takes wonderful loving 24 hour care of our two aging, fussy dogs. She follows their complicated feeding and walking routines perfectly. They are always happy to see her and happy and healthy when we return. And the house is spotless. Prompt and professional.
Thank you so much for taking such great care of Bella for the past three days! We really appreciate how loving and attentive you were with her. You kept us updated, sent us pictures and videos, and made sure Bella was happy and comfortable the whole time. It gave us such peace of mind knowing she was in good hands. Bella had a great time with you. 😊😊 Thank you!😊
Annabel was so amazing with Zazu! I was worried about leaving him for so long, but she became his best friend in short order. She kept me up to date with pictures and texts about anything going on and went above and beyond for us the entire time. I would absolutely book her again in a heart beat. Wonderful pet sitter!

FAQs for House Sitting - Tuckahoe
Frequently asked questions about Rover
The average cost of House Sitting in Tuckahoe is $50 per night as of November 2026. Most bookings cost between $31 and $78 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 1,452 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 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 Tuckahoe. On Rover:
- 91% of sitters can help with special care needs

- 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.
