About: I love all types of animals all shapes and sizes and welcome them into my home. I would be honored to have your pet in my care and would treat them as if they were my own. I would provide them with anything they needed and any type of service. I would never mistreat any living thing. I am able to care for animals with any type of special needs or if they need to be given any type of medication. I have a very flexible schedule, so if you needed me on very short notice, I would be there without a doubt. I really hope to be taken into consideration when a family needs their pet to be taken care of. I would be a great choice for your dog! 😊 Also, FYI, the prices on my profile can be negotiated, those were just the default settings so I left them as they were, let me know if you want to discuss different prices, I will be totally fine with that! I currently work at a Doggy Daycare/Pet Hotel so I am very used to being around pets of all shapes and sizes! My usual day consists of picking up after all the dogs, making their food feeding them. And of course, playing with them! my favorite part of my job is when it’s camp time for me and the dogs! I hang out with them in a playroom and we have so much fun that they’re so tired by the end of the day! I have a large, fenced yard with plenty of room for your pet to run around as much as they want! I also have a small cat and a pug. My pug is very friendly and will welcome your doggy with open paws 🥰
About: I’ve been an animal lover since the womb! I also currently work as a vet assistant at Spring Valley Animal Hospital. I can also honestly say I love animals more than humans :) My schedule at my current job varies. I get my new schedule for the next week every Thursday. I’m 100% sure that I could be available for your pet if planned accordingly. I am a cat mom of 1 red tabby boy & a few stray cats that I still feed at my old house. I understand the concern people have for their fur babies. I’m here to give your pets the best & loving experience possible!
“1st time meeting Brendan. I was worried my dogs would be nervous with but they immediately loved him. I’m so glad they were comfortable with him, he was on the floor playing and petting them. I’m so grateful my pups will be in good hands when I’m away.”
“Raquel was communicative and reliable when we needed a last-minute drop-in sitter for our cat over the holiday weekend. During the meet & greet, she was very interested in learning about Monty’s habits and needs. While we were away, Raquel sent updates and photos each day, and helped with an unexpected package delivery. It was great to know that Monty was in such good hands - we highly recommend Raquel!”
About: I’ve been around animals my entire life and currently have one dog and two cats. In high school, I volunteered at an animal shelter, where I helped care for animals by cleaning, feeding, socializing, and helping with their daily needs. Through my volunteer experience and caring for my own pets, I’ve become comfortable working with animals of different ages, sizes and personalities. I am home from college for the summer, so I am extremely flexible to work with your schedule and make sure your pet is cared for when needed. My pets at home are extremely loved and my best friends. I understand that every animal is different, so safety and comfort are my top priorities. I will take the time to learn the pets routine so they will be comfortable in their environment.
“Wow. I can’t say enough about the quality of care Brandon provided to our active dog Coco (who needed medicine administered and extra TLC during his visit) and our kitty Cora. His communication with us and the animals was wonderful, he updated us in real time, and everyone was in great shape when we arrived home. We’ll definitely be rebooking with Brandon!”

I’m currently attending college, so monday and wednesday mornings im out of the house from 8-12. any other time, if given enough notice, i can be available for you and your pets!

Additionally, our 6 year-old daughter has enough energy to provide tons of additional fetch and chase time. We also have a 1 year old that can’t wait to get in on the action!

I have worked on a lot of training with my chiweenie Paige, who is now almost 10. I have pet sit for friends and family many times and love to meet new animals.

About: I’ve always been around animals. I grew up with a cat and two dogs(shelties)! Have had a few on my own and fostered! They are so special to me! They are the soul of our home. I love taking care of other pups and giving all my love and care! I have taken care of a range of dogs and cats. I worked for a pet sitting company while I lived in Idaho.

About: I have been around dogs my entire life! My family dog of 12 years passed away last year, but she definitely taught me a lot. I have experience with dogs of all ages, even senior dogs! I am a recent college graduate (Bucknell University Class of 2024!) taking a gap year before pursuing a master's degree. This means my schedule for the time being is incredibly flexible, and I can help accommodate to your scheduling needs! I happily follow all instructions left for your pet care, and am happy to send consistent updates about your pets well-being! Whatever makes you most comfortable in your home!
About: I worked at a pet store for 2 years where I took care of all kinds of different animals (birds, ferrets, reptiles, bunnies, etc.). I worked at a doggy daycare for a year and I have also been dog sitting and boarding for the past 2 years. I also have lived with dogs my whole life. I’m currently in college commuting only one day a week on Wednesdays until may 7th, so I am unavailable to do walks or pick up after 2 I care for pets in the way that the owner tells me works best for their pets. I don’t deviate from their schedule and care.
About: What sets me apart is how deeply I care about your dog’s emotional experience when you’re not there. I know how much trust it takes to leave your dog with someone else, and my intention is always to create a sense of calm, safety, and genuine love. I pay close attention to their energy, their needs, and their comfort, so they never feel anxious or alone. With my background working with Guiding Eyes for the Blind and as a veterinary nurse, I bring both intuition and experience to every interaction, whether I’m caring for a playful puppy or a gentle senior. Pet care fits seamlessly into my daily routine because I already live a structured, active lifestyle centered around consistency and responsibility. I walk my own dog multiple times a day and spend time outdoors on local trails and along the Hudson River. I plan my schedule intentionally, which allows me to be reliable, punctual, and fully present for each dog I care for. This is not something I squeeze in. It is something I prioritize and build my day around. I care for every dog as if they were my own, with a strong focus on making them feel safe, calm, and loved in their environment. Whether in my home or a client’s home, I follow their routine closely so nothing feels unfamiliar or stressful. I pay attention to their behavior, energy, and comfort, and adjust my approach to meet their individual needs. I keep communication open with owners so they always feel at ease, knowing their dog is not just being watched, but truly cared for.
“Excellent! We were so happy with the check-ins and photos. We have a German shepherd and he is high energy. Tara was great and we will continue to use her in the future. So thrilled!”
About: Whether we’re talking dogs or cats or hamster or frogs or birds… you name it. My family and I have cared for an abundance of pets throughout life. I now have the sweetest beagle mix aka my best friend Toby! I work 24 hour shifts as an EMT so I am able to cover my full time hours in only two days. This allows the other 5 days to spend time and play with the pups! On my days off you can find me and Toby walking around town or hiking Mnt. Beacon. I have much experience with many types of dogs— different sizes, breeds, strength, temperaments. I can assure you pup is in good hands! : )
“Vinny helped me ensure my pets had great care during a family emergency. I am forever grateful for his prompt help and excellent care, it was such a comfort to know my pets were taken care of and I didn’t need to worry about them at all. Thank you!!”
About: I was raised around animals my entire life and was the primary care taker! I haven’t lived a day of my life that didn’t involve a pet. My family is big on dogs and every family member has one of their own. I’ve cared for senior dogs and dogs of all sizes. I’m passionate about dog care and consider going into an animal field career! I have experience with cats as well and truly love all animals and aim only for the best care to our furry friends. I work Monday-Thursday 7am-2pm but other than that I have open availability. I’m able to drive and am open to all services. My summer has a lot of availability as I am a student. My care includes my personal knowledge but I follow instructions given as the owner knows their furry friend best. I have always lived with animals and have been there for the ups and downs for each of them. Pets will be given proper care including potty breaks, regulated feeding, and proper engagement to make sure they get all their boxes checked. I truly enjoy spending time with animals and cater to their needs!

Dog parents share their Rover experiences - West Haverstraw
Stephanie was absolutely amazing with my dog, Dior! From the moment we met her, I could tell she genuinely loves and cares for animals. Leaving your dog with someone else can always feel stressful, but she made the entire experience so comfortable and reassuring. She kept me updated, treated Dior like family, and made sure he was happy, safe, and well cared for the entire time. Dior came home relaxed, happy, and clearly very loved while he was with her, which says everything. Stephanie is reliable, kind, attentive, and truly goes above and beyond. I’m so grateful to have found someone I can fully trust with my baby. I highly recommend her to anyone looking for a caring and dependable pet sitter. Thank you again, Stephanie, for taking such amazing care of Dior! 🐾❤️
We went away from Mon-Friday and left our Riley with Maria! She was wonderful! We were so hesitant since it was our first time leaving her with anyone besides family but from start to finiSh it was a great experience! Maria gave us constant updates and sent so many pictures! We relaxed after day 2 knowing Riley was in good hands! We highly recommend Maria and will definitely be calling again! Annette
Naomi was amazing! My dogs absolutely loved her; this was my first time using this apps and leaving my dogs. So I was nervous but thanks to Naomi I had a great experience and most important so did my dogs! She went above and beyond, always kept me informed on what was going on, along with daily pictures. She made me feel very secure and I knew I was leaving my dogs in the right hands! 10/10 experience I highly recommend hiring her. I definitely will be hiring Naomi again!!!

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 West Haverstraw 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.
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 Haverstraw 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!
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.
A Meet & Greet is a short introductory meeting between you, your dog, 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.
While Rover doesn’t offer traditional subscription services, some sitters offer recurring bookings for services like home visits and dog walking. Recurring services come with their own perks, such as flexibility to modify services (up to five weeks in advance), automatic billing, Rover Card updates, and same-day cancellations.
To find sitters in West Haverstraw with recurring or weekly availability, select "Repeat Weekly" and which days you’d like them to care for your pet.

- 95% 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.
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.
