“Jonathan was absolutely wonderful with our two dogs and cat! He was extremely reliable, responsible, and great with communication. His daily updates and pictures gave us complete peace of mind knowing our pets were happy, comfortable, and well cared for. He truly went above and beyond, and we couldn’t have asked for a better sitter. We highly recommend Jonathan and will definitely use him again! ❤️”
“Ashley was professional, responsive, and great with our dogs. She provided pictures and updates while we were away. We will gladly go to her again for our dog and house sitting needs.”
About: Hi, I’m Rachel! I’ll care for your loved one as if they were my own—whether that means long walks, playtime, or just extra cuddles. You can count on me to provide a safe, loving, and reliable environment where your dog feels like part of the family. I have a fully fenced 1-acre yard where dogs can play safely and freely, and as an athletic caretaker I’m happy to take them on long walks or runs to burn off extra energy. Whether it’s playtime in the yard or outdoor adventures, I’ll make sure your dog gets the exercise and attention they need. Please let me know of any special considerations during the visit. I will ensure and guarantee that your loved one is comfortable and has unlimited pets and snuggles while you are away.
“Chantal did a wonderful job watching Luna while I was away! She was very responsive, provided me plenty of updates, and left my apartment in great condition. I would definitely recommend her!!”
“Thu was amazing. I had another sitter booked who canceled on me on Thanksgiving morning! Thu saved the day! She spent lots of time loving my babies and sent me pictures. I would highly recommend her.”
About: I’ve been working with dogs for the past ten years, up to this date. Currently work at a boarding resort, and pet sit on the side. I can confidently administer any medications, including insulin. Very skilled in dog behavior. Willing to work with skittish/fearful/“difficult” dogs. Willing to bike alongside pups who need to run if interested. I currently work for a boarding and daycare facility; our lunch breaks are usually around 12-3. Looking to help walk pups in between then and again after 6:30pm if needed. I am great at following instructions, and safety is my biggest priority. I take my time gaining a dogs trust, and strive for maximum comfort in an already stressful situation.
“Steve, is a lovely person who was the absolute best with our boy Willow. Very attentive to a very playful pup. We are grateful to Steve for the peace of mind he gave us with his regular updates and photos of Willow, he deserves more than 5 stars ⭐️. I highly recommend him. Thanks again Steve.”
About: I ONLY service, Highland Falls, Fort Montgomery and West Point, NY. I do NOT service outside of these 3 territories. I will NOT take bookings outside of these three areas. I do this full time and my schedule doesn’t allow me to accommodate outside of my territory. With 23 years local experience, I am very dedicated, passionate and committed to my profession. I am a full-time Dog Walker and Animal Caretaker. I have operated my business solely word of mouth up to this point. I take bookings all hours and days of the week. Over the years, I have cultivated clients that truly have become family to me. Your animal gets cared for and treated with the same love, care and attention that you yourself would provide for them. My experience has ranged from dogs, cats, reptiles, birds, farm animals, exotic animals and much more. When it comes to animals that are large breeds, disabled and/or have temperament issues I have a ton of experience. Please reach out to me via message prior to booking in regards to availability. This is to ensure that I will be able to accommodate exactly what your needs are. As my schedule fluctuates day to day. Also, to make sure you fall within the 3 territories I cover. I don’t want there to be any miscommunication. Consistency is key, and I find it best not to alter their daily and nightly routines. I want them to feel comfortable and relaxed while you are away. If I stay in your home, I treat your home as if it was my own. Just like your pet, I provide the same level of care for your home without judgment. You come home to it being clean, neat and tidy. I wash the sheets, take out the garbage and recycling, sweep/vacuum and wipe down all surfaces that I used. I also bring in packages, water indoor plants, move garbage and recycling bins to the road and small and/or minor request are usually accepted. In the spring and summer months, I will water outdoor plants, but inquire about additional cost.
“Andrea was great with our anxious French bulldog. She went above and beyond watering the gardens and caring for the animals. She was communicative and sent pics of our pup. We will absolutely hire her again to house and pet sit! Highly recommend.”
“Haley was amazing with our dog Frost! She was responsive and friendly. Haley took excellent care of him while we were away. She provided photos and videos. It helped us to enjoy our time away knowing he was being well cared for!”
“Elena was an absolute godsend for our pets!!! She came over a few days before she housesit - and the dogs were nervous at first, but she sat on the floor with them and waited until they were comfortable - and basically, she's the dog whisperer. When she came for the housesit, the dogs recognized her and were excited to see her. She sent pictures and let us know how they were doing the perfect amount, and the pictures she sent were some of my favorites that I have of them now! I didn't worry at all while we were away, and that is 100% thanks to Elena. Her kindness, patience, and flexibility, among a million other amazing qualities, make Elena the only person I would ever want to housesit for us in the future!”
“Jalynn was amazing! She took great care of our dog who has separation anxiety due to us moving across the country and our dog was so comfortable with her while we were out for the day for work. 10/10 would recommend!!”
“Brendan was wonderful with Popeye, who has severe anxiety and barked nonstop when he first met him. Brendan was patient and before long, had Popeye napping with him and playing with his tennis ball. Brendan was super responsive, attentive to my concerns, and took excellent care of my dog and my home. I would definitely book with him again.”
“Kristine was truly great. She dog/house sat for over a week and kept us informed of our pup’s doings everyday (with pictures). Our home was just as we left it. We couldn’t have asked for more and will be hiring Kristine again for our next trip.”
About: I love all animals and have had different pets since I was a child. So I have a lot of experience. Besides dogs and cats I helped with horses, cows, reptiles and rodents. I’m extremely bias toward any animal. I’m a vegan and going back to school for biology. I’m part of many organizations signing and making petitions to protect all animals. It is my passion and any animal left with me is more than safe and loved without a doubt. I live in a condo in an active dog community with a dog park pretty close I work a few hours Wednesday, Thursday and Friday besides that I’m home. I work 6 hours those days then I’m free my boyfriend works in the morning and is home caring for the pets during my hours of work The animals being cared for will be walked on a leash and/or brought to the closest dog park (if the owner would like that) I can care for them in my house or yours
About: What sets me apart is my 12 years of hands-on experience caring for dogs, along with 6 years of experience as a dog owner. I understand that every dog has a unique personality, routine, and needs. I provide loving, attentive, and dependable care while making sure dogs feel safe, comfortable, and happy. I’m experienced with walks, playtime, overnight care, and giving dogs the individual attention they deserve. My goal is to treat every dog like family and provide the same patience and care I would give my own. I work remotely part-time, which gives me a flexible schedule and allows me to dedicate plenty of time to pet care. I’m able to provide consistent attention, walks, playtime, and companionship throughout the day while working around each pet’s individual routine and needs. I’m dependable, flexible, and committed to making sure every pet receives the care and attention they deserve. I provide a safe, loving, and comfortable environment for every pet, whether caring for them in my home or in a client’s home. I follow each pet’s normal routine, including feeding, walks, playtime, bathroom breaks, and plenty of attention and companionship. I’m respectful of my client’s home and make sure pets feel secure and comfortable while their owners are away. I also understand that every dog is different, so I adjust my care based on their personality, age, energy level, and individual needs.
About: I have had animals my whole life. I’m able to give dogs and cats medication and will treat them as my own while you’re away so you don’t have to worry. I used to travel a lot and I know how stressful it could be to find someone you can trust that will give your baby the best care. I currently work from home and have a big house with a fenced in yard so the dogs can get their exercise. My schedule is very flexible. Feel free to schedule a meet and greet before you book! I have a large fenced in yard and my home is away from high traffic areas. If your pup likes the water, I also have a pool. I can also crate your pup if needed. If your pup likes the car I can take them with me for the day.
“Grateful to Elisha for a long stretch watching our very sensitive Cavalier. When we arrived home, Millie seemed calm, healthy and well cared for. While we were away, Elisha shared picks of Millie and stayed on top of her daily routine. It takes the stress away when you have someone who is reliable and conscientious. Will definitely book Elisha again.”

Pet parents share their Rover experiences - West Point
Alexis did a fantastic job watching our dog over the weekend! She was very attentive, communicated with us regularly, and sent lots of pictures of our sweet pup while we were away. Our dog can be a little high-maintenance at times, but Alexis handled everything wonderfully. We really appreciated the peace of mind knowing our pup was in such good hands. Highly recommend!
Alexis was great with our pups. We got daily updates, and all of our requests were handled. We have a fear reactive pup and Alexis was even willing to come and meet our pooches several times before our actual trip to allow our pups to get comfortable (and vice versa). Alexis is chill and easy going and the doggos vibed well with that. We found Alexis to be very reliable, patient, responsible, kind, and essentially everything we could ask for in a sitter. We definitely recommend Alexis.

Frequently asked questions about Rover
The average cost of House Sitting in West Point is $83 per night as of November 2026. Most bookings cost between $83 and $83 per night. On Rover, sitters set their own rates based on factors such as their experience, the length of care, the number of pets, and your pet’s specific needs. As long as your booking dates and pet profiles are accurate, the price shown before you confirm is the total, including any booking fee.
As of November 2026, there are 4,050 sitters on Rover offering House Sitting across West Point. 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 Point 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 Point 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 Point 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 casual meeting to vet potential sitters and communicate care needs for peace of mind before a booking begins. Only sitters who have never booked with you before can schedule a Meet & Greet on Rover; however, you are welcome to coordinate one in Rover messages with sitters you have previously booked. This can be helpful if you have a new pet or routine you want to go over with your sitter.
Meet & Greets can take place in person or virtually. If you are booking with a sitter for the first time, we recommend in-person Meet & Greets to get a clearer sense of how your sitter interacts with your pet 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. Meet & Greets are a great way to prepare your pet and sitter for longer stays or first-time bookings. Read our tips for your first Meet & Greet.
sitters on Rover set their own cancellation policy, which you can find on their profile under their contact information. Sitters may set a same-day, one-, three-, or seven-day cancellation policy. Cancelling within your sitter’s cancellation policy qualifies you for a full refund.
Same-day cancellations for recurring services, which include walks, drop-ins, and day care, follow the full refund policy. Otherwise, for pet boarding and house sitting, if you cancel after 12 pm on the applicable cancellation deadline, you’ll receive a 50% refund for the first seven days of the booking and a 100% refund for any remaining days.
If your sitter needs to cancel within seven days of the booking's start date, then our reservation protection will kick in. This means you will get a full refund and our support team will work with you to find a replacement sitter.
Yes, you can find sitters who have experience with handling special pet needs in West Point. On Rover:
- 87% of sitters can help with special care needs
- 90% can help with giving oral medications or injections
- 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.
