Melony is incredibly patient and did a great job watching our senior Shiba, who is a rescue and hates new people. She was able to win him over (no small feat!) and dealt with his eccentricities in stride, and gave constant updates. We were able to travel with little stress knowing he was in great hands!

About: Animals have always been a part of my life. Much of my experience is with dogs and horses. I have taken care of all age ranges starting with puppies and foals to senior animals. I also have experience with cats, goats, pigs, and chickens having grown up in the country. I was an active 4H member and completed their Veterinary Science courses at Cornell, so I feel comfortable giving medications and any wound care your pet may require. I am a Library Director in the Hudson Valley. I set my own schedule so my hours to provide pet services are flexible. I can work with the client to provide what their pets need. I am a responsible professional who owns their own home. I will treat your pets and home like my own and understand the importance of having a reliable, responsible pet sitter.

About: I’ve been dog sitting and pet sitting for over 5½ years and have built experience caring for pets with different personalities, routines, and needs. I also have references available upon request. Outside of pet care, I’m a manager at Club Pilates, which has helped me become very reliable, punctual, and responsible with my time. I pride myself on communication, dependability, and treating every pet like family. I’ve been an animal lover for as long as I can remember. Ever since I was a kid, animals have always held a special place in my heart. I have two pups of my own, and I would treat your pets with the same love, care, and attention as if they were my own family. I understand how important it is to find someone you can truly trust to care for your pets while you’re away. Leaving your animals with someone else can be stressful, and my goal is to give you peace of mind knowing they’re safe, cared for, loved, and getting the attention they deserve.

Jenna was incredible! She went above and beyond to make sure we and our dog were comfortable and well cared for. She even brought in our mail! Jenna was prompt, kept us updated, was a great communicator, and sent pictures and videos with each visit. I 100% recommend her and will reach out again, when needed.

Samantha was attentive to our cat’s needs and was incredibly reliable! We got snowed in our trip away, and Samantha was able to add extra visits to come take care of our cat while we were trapped in the snow. I highly recommend Samantha, and will likely contact her again the next time we need a pet sitter!

About: Hi. My name is Kiki and I love dogs!! I have years of hands-on experience working with dogs of all breeds, sizes, and temperaments. I was a manager at a cage-free dog daycare for 5 years, where I handled everything from group play supervision to administering medications and managing daily care routines. I also volunteered for 3 years at Second Chance Dog Rescue, helping with socialization, walking, and basic training. In addition, I’ve provided trusted pet sitting services in Peekskill, NY for 5 years until the family relocated. I’m trained in pet CPR, comfortable administering all types of medications, and have a dog of my own—so I truly understand how important it is to find someone reliable and compassionate to care for your pets. I have a car, am highly dependable, and treat every animal as if they were my own. Although I work full-time and attend school, I have large daily time blocks available between commitments, which I dedicate to pet sitting, walking, and drop-in visits I care for every pet like my own, ensuring they feel safe, loved, and comfortable while following their regular routine, my skills are administering medications, and giving personalized attention. Every pet has a specific personality so I try to respect that much like people.

About: In the past six years, I have gained both knowledge and experience through pet-sitting not just my own pets, but for the pets of friends and family members! I am absolutely an animal lover, and I promise to treat your pets just like my own with play, love, and affection. My number one priority will always be to ensure the safety and well-being of animals, especially the ones within my care. I’m a college student home for summer break, so I am available every day of the week to care for pets! Whether you need someone to quickly check in on your pets while you’re at work, or if you need someone to care for them during a long trip, I will always be there! I can ensure that your pets will be in good hands, so you (and they!) can enjoy a great summer! 🐾 I have experience in handling animals through both regular and electric fences so they will always be ensured to have their outdoor time! Alongside that, I also have experience in crating dogs. I’m also a very active person, so I will always be down to run around and get your pet’s exercise in. But, if they’re more into chilling, I would also love to keep them company!

Maryline is awesome! She looked in on my two kitties for several days and like clockwork, messaged me when she arrived, which was such a relief! I stress over leaving my babies even for just a few days and it was great to see the photos that she shared, showing that they were content. She messaged about everything that she had completed (food, water, litter). Maryline is very personable and sweet and I could tell she'd be great just by seeing how kind her boys were with my cats (who really liked them and my cats don't always warm up to people right away)! I can't stress enough how good it feels to now have someone that I can count on to take care of my cats. Thank you, Maryline!!

About: Through my life, I have been a pet parent for several dogs of different ages. Family, friends, and clients have trusted me with their pets since a young age. Dogs from all ages are welcome including those with dietary and medical needs. I’ve made the decision to leave the banking industry after several years to pursue happiness and focus on my passions. Having a flexible schedule allows me to give your pet the care it needs from potty breaks to overnight stays. I love going for walks and hikes and would love for your pet to attend. As a house sitter, I provide specialized care for each pet, ensuring their happiness and safety at all times. My experience includes administering medication as well, if needed.

About: I have a large animal science degree. BA in Equine science. I breed ND goats and Australian shepherds for over 20 years. I also groom on the side. I work from home so I’m pretty close by at all times. I’m originally from this area so I know my way around. I’m up early to take care of my own animals. I have separate fenced in areas for my dogs, goats and chickens. I have two small areas also fenced in away from my own animals. Plus I have woods with trails to walk in.

FAQs for Drop-In Visits - Wappingers Falls

Frequently asked questions about Rover

The average cost for Pet Sitting in Wappingers Falls on Rover is $22.2 per visit (as of July 2026). However, all sitters set their own rates based on experience, location, and availability.

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 July 2026, there are 1,719 sitters on Rover offering Pet Sitting across Wappingers Falls. 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 Wappingers Falls 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 Wappingers Falls. On Rover:

  • 95% of sitters can help with special care needs
  • 96% can help with giving oral medications or injections
  • 99% 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.
