“Andrea was great with Ruby! She was super communicative, on time, respectful and sweet with my puppy. She also sent a bunch of pictures which I love! Ruby is nervous meeting people at first and Andrea didn’t force anything and made Ruby feel so comfortable she was sleeping for most of their time together - a great sign she was relaxed and comfortable! Thank you again”
“Catie was wonderful with my fur babies. I truly appreciated the daily pictures and regular updates she sent. She was a pleasure to work with and I would absolutely use her services again.”
“Jalyne just watched our dog for the second time and continues to be our go-to! She got our anxious gal through a thunderstorm, was so communicative and even washed and folded her sheets. She’s a gem. Thank you Jaylyne!!”
“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.”
About: I’m an animal-lover and proud pawrent of 13 years with experience caring for all kinds of dogs with all kinds of personalities (even the occasional cat). Whether you need frequent walkings, short to long-term sittings, or the occasional drop-in, I’ll make sure that your doggo feels loved, cared for, and most importantly, knows they’re a good girl or boy ❤️. I am currently a student and work part-time at my school during the academic year. In the summertime, I have open availability. During the academic year, I create a flexible schedule allowing for adequate time to focus on pet care. I like to meet dogs where they are at while applying safety awareness. I focus on identifying triggers for reactive furry friends. I also implement safeguards to ensure the security and safety of our furry friends.
“Jacqueline did an excellent job house sitting for us for our dog and cat. She was responsible and communicative throughout the 5-day trip and we felt very relieved that our home and pets were in good hands. We look forward to booking with her again soon!”
“Aaliyah stayed with our dog and cat for 5 days while we left the country and made it such an ease. She sent constant updates, checking in with pictures and status updates several times per day, and it was clear that our pets loved her and felt at ease. She always leaves our home spotless and our pets can’t wait to hang with her again soon!”
“I was out of the country for ten days and had never used a sitter in this area before. I am fortunate to have found Janelle. Not only was she a joy to communicate with, but she was also highly professional and kept me in the loop the entire time. My dog Luna has separation anxiety (which has worsened with Covid since we work from home and rarely leave her alone). To be completely honest, I can be a bit neurotic when it comes to leaving Luna with anyone - and I was very anxious about my trip. Janelle went above and beyond - sending videos and pictures and keeping me informed every day. I had a wonderful trip, and the peace of mind she provided was priceless. I HIGHLY RECOMMEND her services and hope to use her again in the future.”
“Dawn and her son Adam were professional and fabulous from our very first communication with them about house- and dog-sitting for us. Adam and Finn took to each other immediately, we felt entirely comfortable leaving Finn in Adam’s capable hands, and it was obvious to us upon our return that Adam had taken immaculate care of both Finn and our home for the week we were away. We look forward to having Adam come back to stay with Finn soon. Thank you both so much!”
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.
“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 :)”
“Heather was absolutely AMAZING. From our initial meet and greet I knew she was such a kind soul who my dog, Fred gravitated towards. She was so kind and so responsible it really put me at ease knowing my dog was being well looked after. She was extremely accommodating by turning up at my apt at 630am the day I left early and even took my pup on a walk before i landed back on a red eye flight! I would HIGHLY recommend Heather. She kept me updated with pics of my dog throughout my week away, stayed at my apartment and looked after it so well. You could not find a better dog sitter! BOOK HEATHER NOW!!”
About: I’ve cared for dogs for family and friends over the years, including walks, feeding, playtime, and keeping pets comfortable while their owners are away. I’m calm, patient, and attentive, and I like sending photo updates so pet parents know their pets are safe and cared for. My schedule is flexible, and I can usually help with drop in visits, walks, and pet care during the week or on weekends. I’m happy to follow your pet’s normal routine for feeding, walks, playtime, and updates. I prefer clear instructions so your pet stays comfortable and on schedule. I always follow the owner’s instructions closely, including feeding, leash rules, medication notes, litter cleanup, and home access details. I keep pets supervised, use secure leashes, and send updates/photos during visits. I do not currently have pets of my own, so I can give each pet my full attention.
About: Love dogs all kind. First I pet seat my friend’s dogs when they were away. Then I got my own dog. Alaska is a 34 lbs pomsky. She is very playful and would like a company. I can take your dog to a dog park or the dog beach. Both of those amenities are next to my house. Moreover I have small fenced yard for playing with bunch of balls.I work from home , so have a lot free time to pet sit fur babies and take them for plenty of walks. If you are away for a short trip, book your pet a bed and breakfast inn in my house. I will take care of your furry friend either at my house or yours. Currently work from home. Very flexible. However prefer drop offs and pick ups in mornings. If pick up after 3 pm addition charge may apply I have fenced yard where. I can let dogs out for quick pee and play if needed. However I take them on walks at least 2 times a day. If good weather, I may take them to the dog park or rye beach
“Crystal is amazing! She was warm and kind and my fur babies were very well taken care of! The best part - she communicated updates and sent photos very regularly which is what I had asked for. I was very confident that my babies were in loving and caring hands! I highly recommend Crystal!”
“Shannon went above and beyond to care for our pups, was super communicative, and handled a last-minute health issue with one of our dogs like a pro. She took fantastic care of our house as well. Highly recommend her for your dog/house sitting needs!”
The median cost per night for house sitting in West Harrison is $60

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.
We could not be happier with Amanda and the love she showed our babies. We have multiple cats and one dog that she showered in attention and care over the weekend. We received continuous updates on their behavior and the cutest photos! Our dog even ripped the arm off her favorite sloth and she sewed it back on!! We’ve had many care takers over the years and Amanda is TOP notch!!!

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 August 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 August 2026, there are 18,195 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.

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.
