About: Hi! I’m a devoted dog mom to Millie, my Cavalier King Charles Spaniel, and I bring that same hands-on care to every dog I look after. Raising Millie has taught me how much dogs thrive on consistency — reliable potty breaks, patient leash time, and reading their cues. I’m comfortable with feeding schedules and specific dietary needs, and I love a good sniff-led walk that lets a dog explore at their own pace. I’m patient, observant, and treat every dog’s home and routine like my own. Expect close attention to your instructions, thoughtful updates, and a sitter who genuinely loves the work. Looking forward to meeting your dog! 🐾 Pet care is already woven into my everyday routine — I’m home with Millie for feedings, potty breaks, and walks multiple times a day, so caring for a dog on a consistent schedule is second nature to me. I’m happy to build drop-in visits around your dog’s existing routine, whether that means a quick midday potty break or a longer afternoon walk. Since I’m mainly offering drop-in visits and walks, I focus on keeping things consistent with what your dog already knows — following their regular schedule, feeding routine, and any specific instructions closely. In my own home, I’m hands-on with Millie’s daily care, from meals to sniff-led walks, and I bring that same patience and attention to detail into your home so your dog feels comfortable and looked after.

About: I have grown up with animals my entire life. My family has only ever had cats or dogs, but I have had the opportunity to care for cats, dogs, bunnies, snakes, and more! I’ve had and cared for young puppies and kittens to senior pets, and enjoy caring for all animals. I am a teacher on Summer break and would love the opportunity to help care for your pets while you are busy or away! Please feel free to ask about availability, right now I am very flexible! :) I am a teacher who is on summer break so I currently have a flexible schedule. This means I can drop by to care for pets as needed throughout the day! While I do have pets at home, I am currently renting and unable to board any pets in my house. Instead, I am able to offer drop in services or dog walking! I also am a very active person and would love the opportunity to bring your dog on a run or a hike (with your permission of course)! I am available to stop by for multiple walks/play sessions throughout the day. I have experience with caring for animals overnight as well as housekeeping while pet owners are away. Please let me know if you’d prefer me to do drop-ins during the day or need me to stay overnight for your pet!

I was very happy with my overall experience with Rover. It was easy to set up and choose someone to care for my 2 cats when I was out of town. Nancy was great! She came when she said she would and gave me updates at each visit. When I came home, the house was so calm and peaceful. The cats were safe, fed and happy. I would definitely recommend Nancy and will use her again in the future. Thanks! :) Rose G.

Julia was fantastic. We needed someone to drop in for our chocolate lab while we were away for a softball tournament. I realized he needed two drop ins and she was very accommodating. She was punctual, friendly, and took good care of our boy. Would recommend Julia 🙂

I cannot say enough good things about Ava as our dog walker. She walks my pitbull, Giovanni, and my Frenchie, Jerry, and is so gentle, patient, and calm with them, which means everything to me. Ava is incredibly reliable, always on time, and treats Giovanni and Jerry like her own. I love the updates I get after walks, and I always feel like they are safe and well cared for when they’re with her. Both dogs are happier, calmer, and get so excited every time Ava shows up. If you’re looking for someone you can completely trust with your dogs—especially strong breeds—Ava is the best!

About: I grew up on a dairy farm with all sorts of animals around. I have had many dogs, cats, parrots, chickens, rabbits, rats, and horses over the years. I have a degree in Equestrian Science and have taken care of animals my entire adult life. I have always been an avid hiker as well and love to take the pups on walks around the area. I currently own 3 dogs, a parrot, and 2 chickens and will give your animals the same love and attention that I give my own! I'm currently working part time and so have plenty of time to play with your fur babies. I am currently available for house sitting, drop in visits and dog walking. If your dogs get along with mine I might be able to do boarding as well. I have a dog door at my house with a fenced in yard along with 5 acres of fields to walk in. When coming to your home, I use my deep knowlege of dogs, cats, and other animals to keep your animals happy in their own home where your pets are MOST comfortable. They have the comfort of knowing they are safe in a place where they can learn to trust me and we can develop a bond so I can give your pets the same level of love and care as I would give my own pets.

About: I’ve always had a genuine love for animals and enjoy spending time getting to know each pet’s unique personality. I’m patient, attentive, and focused on making pets feel safe, comfortable, and cared for while their owners are away. I have experience at the local animal shelter with dogs and cats of different ages and temperaments, including energetic puppies and more independent or senior pets. I’m especially mindful of routines, feeding schedules, and exercise needs, and I always aim to provide consistent care that matches what pets are used to at home. Whether it’s playtime, walks, or quiet companionship, I make sure each pet feels loved and well taken care of. Pet care fits naturally into my routine because I genuinely enjoy being around animals. I have a flexible schedule that allows me to provide consistent care throughout the day, including mornings, afternoons, and evenings when needed. I prioritize reliability and make sure I’m fully present during each visit or stay. Whether it’s daily check-ins, walks, or extended care, I’m able to adjust my time to meet the needs of both pets and their owners. I prioritize creating a calm, safe, and clean environment for every pet in my care. I follow all instructions carefully, including feeding routines, medication needs, and house rules. In a client’s home, I’m respectful of the space and make sure pets feel secure in their familiar surroundings. I always supervise interactions, ensure doors and gates are secure, and provide constant attention during visits or stays. My goal is to build trust with both pets and owners by being dependable, attentive, and caring at all times.

About: I have been pet sitting since the age of 14. I have looked after animals of all kinds, such as dogs, cats, chickens, reptiles, and amphibians. I am comfortable giving medication (outside of injection) and am willing to work with animals of all ages. I'm a teacher on summer break so my schedule is wide open. I am unavailable on August 9th and from August 14th to the 21st. I am also open to sitting during evenings and weekends or drop-bys during the school year. I always schedule a meet-and-greet before any care to get to know you and your pets. It helps me ensure I am providing the best care.

Frequently asked questions about Rover

The average cost for Pet Sitting in Washingtonville on Rover is $27.75 per visit (as of August 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 August 2026, there are 2,469 sitters on Rover offering Pet Sitting across Washingtonville. 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 Washingtonville 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 Washingtonville. On Rover:

  • 93% of sitters can help with special care needs
  • 95% can help with giving oral medications or injections
  • 97% 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.
