“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.”
“Mark was incredible…he did overnight stays with our 11 year old blind, deaf pup without any hesitation. He is a great communicator and left the house in perfect condition. As this was a new arrangement, he asked questions to make sure something wasn’t out of the ordinary for our extraordinary pup, which I appreciate as he has truly had only 1 sitter in nearly 11 years! I cannot recommend him enough and we are actively booking out the rest of the year with him!”
“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!”
“This was the first time V dogsat for us and it was a wonderful experience! V was easy to communicate with, took excellent care of our pup, and even went above and beyond on caring for our home. Highly recommend!!”
“We felt at ease when Emily stayed with our 10 month old great dane pup and 7 year old Border Aussie. I got pictures everyday we were gone and the dogs were happy and relaxed when we got home. Bonus points for the house being clean when we got home! We are hopeful to have Emily care for our pets and home again!”
“Marissa was kind, communicative, calm, and flexible. My flight home got cancelled and I had to rebook my return trip a day later. Marissa immediately agreed to extend her services when I told her what was going on. When I (finally) made it home, Peaty was happy and well-cared for and my apartment was pristine. Would work with Marissa again in a heartbeat!”
“Ajax did a great job with our Great Dane! He assured me that everything was under control while we were out and checked in with us periodically. We will definitely look to use his services again in the future!”
“Lee was absolutely fantastic, and took great care of our lil girl. He was highly responsive, provided great detailed updates throughout the week, and during the meet-and-greet asked great questions to make sure he knew everything that he needed to know ahead of time. We'll definitely be booking with Lee for our future trips and highly recommend him to others as well.”
“Elise did a fantastic job with our girls. She sent pictures throughout the time she was taking care of them and kept in constant communication. We recommend Elise and plan to schedule with her again.”
“Jessica was very helpful and consistent in staying with our very active dogs. We were so happy to get lots of pictures and she genuinely seemed to like them which we appreciated. (They can be a lot!)”
“My new go-to sitter. Very communicative, responsible, willing to follow directions, respectful of house rules and procedures. Provided lots of updates and flexible with the meet and greet and other scheduling. 6/5 stars. Thanks, Anna!”
“Ellie was so amazing at keeping me updated while I was gone, and I could tell my sweet pup was getting lots of love and snuggles every day and night! She is amazing!! I would definitely use her again and recommend anyone else to do so!! Ellie is clearly an animal lover and is so sweet!!! She also left my house cleaner than when I left!!”
About: I’m a reliable pet sitter with a deep love for all animals. Whether it’s providing the gentle affection and strict routine a cat needs to feel comfortable or the high-energy attention a dog deserves, I treat every pet like family. Beyond standard pet sitting, I’ve also gained unique experience walking alpacas and feeding goats, so I’m very comfortable adapting to different personalities and requirements. I look forward to providing your pets with the most attentive care possible! I work part-time on weekdays, which leaves me flexible and available for pet care. I am fully available on weekends to give pets consistent attention and care. I provide a clean, safe, and calm environment while respecting each client’s home. I follow instructions carefully and ensure pets feel comfortable, secure, and well cared for.
“Conrad went above and beyond with taking care of our two dogs! Super responsive, friendly, careful with their needs (1 is a reactive dog, other has anxiety and is accident prone). When my dog started limping mid-stay, Conrad made sure to notify me and follow instructions perfectly and administer medication. I felt very comfortable knowing that Conrad was taking care of them diligently, ensuring they had the love, company, and support they needed when we were away for 3 days.”
“Catherine was amazing! Our dogs usually get sad and stressed when we leave, but they were so relaxed and happy when we got back from our trip. I could tell she had taken great care with them, with tons of walks, snuggle time, etc. She was communicative and responsible and completely trustworthy. Very much worth the peace of mind (ours!) and wellbeing (the dogs!), and we look forward to booking with her again.”
About: Hello! My name is McKenzie! I’m a pre-med student and animal lover looking to earn some extra funds for medical school. I’ve had my own dog since he was a puppy (he's now 8 years old!). Because he has a daily medication schedule, I am experienced and comfortable handling any medical or dietary needs your dog might have. I am currently home full time and am available for daily drop ins or house sittings when needed! I am also flexible and will accept last minute bookings for no additional costs from my end. I’m currently working part time online so I will have plenty of time to play with your puppies and check in on them! I am available everyday at any time since I work online. I ensure pet safety through constant supervision, secure spaces, and by following your specific guidelines. I will take them on daily walks and doggy parks (if you wish for the parks).
About: I am a young professional with two orange cats of my own! I've been watching animals for my family, friends, and neighbors since I was a kid; I love cats and dogs of all colors, breeds, shapes, and sizes. I'm currently between jobs, so I have plenty of time to play with your pups or satisfy your unique care needs! I'm lucky to have a flexible schedule, so I strive to accommodate others' schedules to the best of my ability. Safety is paramount for me. As a pet-owner myself, I strive to meet the needs of each pet without putting them at risk of harm or distress.

Pet parents share their Rover experiences - Tuckahoe
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!
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!
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.
Alethea is amazing! We are truly so grateful to have had her dog sit for us (twice now!). My senior dog, who has both vision and hearing issues can be very nervous with new people. He adores Alethea and follows her around everywhere when she's here. She is a fantastic communicator, sends pictures and updates often and clearly cares so much for the animals she cares for. Not only that but she does an amazing job taking care of our home too. She cleans, takes care of my dogs linens, takes care of bedding, watered plants and even handled a series of unfortunate events due to a storm incredibly well. Navigating those issues from out of the country was stressful but I am so grateful to Alethea for being so incredibly helpful and considerate during the process. Truly not sure what we would have done without her. We really can't recommend Alethea enough to anyone looking for a sitter.
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!😊
We always love working with Egon. They take great care of our 3 kitties and our house, and we can breathe easy when we travel knowing that all will be well at home. They often go above and beyond to take care of house and home--this time, for example, troubleshooting some issues with the CSA we're a host site for. So grateful for them, and we will definitely hire them again!
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!

Frequently asked questions about Rover
The average cost of House Sitting in Tuckahoe is $50 per night as of October 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.

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 , 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.
