“This is the first time we used Rover, and Tara exceeded our expectations. She was very communicative and caring for our geriatric dog. We received daily updates and she responded very quickly to any texts we sent to her. She is very savvy with administering medications. For the entire time we were away I was extremely confident that Guinness was in the best of hands. Tara was also extremely respectful of our house and we came home to not a thing out of place, and most importantly, a happy, healthy dog. Highly recommend her to anyone looking for a responsible and reliable pet sitter. ??”
“This is the second time Catie has stayed with our dogs. She did a great job sticking to their schedule. The dogs were happy and relaxed when we got home. Catie sent tons of pictures and texted whenever she had a question or was unsure about something. She is extremely responsible. Already have her booked for our next getaway.”

Thoughtful, sent daily summaries and photos, my reactive dog was so HAPPY!!! I feel truly lucky to have found her. 10/10. She is the best. Will rebook again and again and again as long as she wants to keep watching pups.”

“Kelsey is amazing. She took great care of Raz, sent pictures and added captions. People I see when I walk Raz welcomed me home and said what a nice person Kelsey was and how well she did with Raz. I strongly recommend her!! Kelsey, you are welcome to come back and say "hi" to Raz anytime. She would love it!!”
“Becky was a fantastic dog sitter for us! She over communicates, shows our pups authentic love and just went above and beyond for our home outside of what we agreed too! Would highly recommend her! Just don’t overbook her schedule, then I won’t be able to book her services :)”

About: I have had pets since I was young, taking care of them and others, It was my bread and butter. I now working in an emergency hospital as a surgical assistant. I have a good balance between my work and personal life pet setting fits into my schedule, also having my own transportation and part-time schedules I provide care as needed and instructed, with my best judgment otherwise. Working in VetMed I have a good idea of standard pet care regardless of size, age, or breed

My current cat, Oliver has 3 legs and my dog, Chewy, has epilepsy. I'm currently a law student, so I have time to pet sit and take your pets for a walk after classes on weekdays and on weekends. I am able to take care of pets in your home. I have reliable transportation so I can be there when you and your pet need me. I am detail-oriented and will do my best to follow any schedules or instructions you have for your pet.

About: I grew up with dogs and have been hands-on with them my entire life. I was raised with two Australian Shepherds, later had two doodles, and I personally trained my dog Eli from the ground up. I also groom Eli regularly and groom friends’ dogs, so I’m comfortable with handling, coat care, and reading dog behavior up close. I currently live with three dogs — Eli, Leo, and Nala — and manage different sizes, temperaments, and energy levels every day. I’ve never been bitten by a dog and take pride in staying calm, aware, and respectful of each dog’s boundaries. I genuinely love dogs and spend a lot of time outdoors. An active, structured, routine-based lifestyle is natural for me, and that aligns closely with how dogs thrive. Caring for dogs isn’t just something I do — it fits my lifestyle and mindset. Pet care is fully integrated into my daily and weekly routine. I brush all three of my dogs every week and regularly groom each of them. Because we go to the beach multiple times per week, I also wash and dry them weekly to keep their coats and skin healthy. They are all different breeds with different coat types, which has given me strong hands-on experience managing a variety of grooming and care needs. Daily exercise is a priority — I walk and rollerblade with them every day, making structured activity and outdoor time a consistent part of our routine. I provide a structured, calm, and consistent environment. I actively monitor and work with all three of my dogs every day, reinforcing good behavior through positive reinforcement. Dogs naturally pick up on each other’s behaviors, habits, and rewards, so maintaining a balanced pack dynamic is a priority in my home. I focus on clear expectations, routine, and calm leadership so dogs feel secure and relaxed. By consistently reinforcing positive behaviors and addressing issues early, I help create a safe, well-managed environment where dogs can thrive together.
About: Hi! My name is Jenn and I rescued Jasper 3 years ago. We love taking walks at the Kensico Dam, going to the beach and the dog park. I am a reliable dog walker and animal lover with experience caring for happy pups. I treat every dog like my own family. You get safe walks, fun playtime, and great photo updates every single time. I am currently working from home with a flexible schedule, so I have plenty of time to care for your pet! I am available daily for walks and sitting on the weekends. Your pet will get maximum engagement and company during the all services as if they were my own. Caring for pets requires following their specific routines and keeping them safe during walks or daytime sitting. I have a friendly dog to keep your fur baby company and I will provide photos and messages about your pet's service.
About: What sets me apart is that I’ve cared for dogs through every stage of life. I grew up with three dogs starting when I was 12, so I have experience with everything from managing puppy energy to giving older dogs the patience, gentleness, and attention they need. I’ve also helped friends and family with their dogs over the years, whether that meant walks, drop-ins, or caring for them while they were away. This is the first time since childhood that I’m living without dogs, and I’d love the chance to help care for yours like they’re my own. I work full-time during the week, so weekends are the best fit for me right now. That’s when I have the most flexibility and can give dogs more of my time and attention without feeling rushed. I live in a house with a front and backyard, giving dogs plenty of room to relax, play, and get fresh air. There are also several parks nearby, so walks and outdoor time are easy to work into the day. I know every dog is different, so I’ll make sure to follow their normal routine and keep them comfortable, safe, and cared for like they’re my own.

Pet parents share their Rover experiences - West Harrison
Courtney was wonderful. She came at the last minute (we booked only a day or so before). We have two dogs and a cat and all were well loved and cared for. She provided nice updates throughout the visit and the house was tidy and nice when we got back. We look forward to having her come again!
Yuri was great. We contacted her for a last minute trip and she stopped by so we could review the different types of food for our three dogs. Although we were uncertain about leaving our dogs at home, we eased our minds with frequent photos and updates. She was very flexible with our requests and there was no delay in any communications that took place. We recommend her without any reservations and we look forward to requesting her assistance in the future. Thank you Yuri.
This is the third time Catie has stayed with our two dogs. As expected, everything went extremely well. She keeps the dogs on their schedule which makes everything run smoothly. The dogs were relaxed and happy when we got home which is all we can ask for. Catie is great!
I’m not kidding, I’m tempted to gatekeep but won’t because Alyssa deserves all the love and dog jobs in the world. Seriously, best dog sitter ever. Thoughtful, sent daily summaries and photos, my reactive dog was so HAPPY!!! I feel truly lucky to have found her. 10/10. She is the best. Will rebook again and again and again as long as she wants to keep watching pups.

FAQs for House Sitting - West Harrison
Frequently asked questions about Rover
The average cost for House Sitting in West Harrison on Rover is $111 per night (as of September 2026). However, all sitters set their own rates based on experience, location, and availability.
Rover makes budgeting the cost of House 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 House Sitting. For more information on service fees, click here .
As of September 2026, there are 18,275 sitters on Rover offering House Sitting across West Harrison. 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 West Harrison 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 West Harrison 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 West Harrison 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 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.
