“We have never left our pets for this long before so we were a bit nervous beforehand. Everything went great! We returned home to happy, well cared for pets. Thank you!!!!!”
“We booked with Elva and Matt for house sitting while we were on vacation. Our previous planned sitter had cancelled last minute and we are honestly so happy they did so we could meet Matt and Elva! Blu absolutely loved them and they took great care of him, as well as the house. Their communication was amazing and we got daily photos and updates of our little guy! We will definitely be booking again☺️”

“Candace did a great job watching our dog while we were away for thanksgiving. She walked her every day, kept to the schedule and played with her. Sammy was a happy girl when we got back and we are grateful!”
About: Hi, I’m Ainsley! Dogs have been a massive part of my life for as long as I can remember. Growing up, my home was always filled with paws—giving me firsthand experience raising energetic puppies, keeping up with active adult dogs, and providing gentle, attentive care to sweet senior dogs. I’ve spent years pet-sitting for family members, treating their fur babies exactly like my own. Whether your dog needs a high-energy brisk walk, a slow and sniff-filled stroll, or just some extra patience and TLC, I’ve got you covered. I can’t wait to meet your pup and become their new favorite walking buddy! I have a fairly open schedule while school is out for the summer! I’m available most mornings for check-ins and walks, and most evenings for over night care. I’m willing to adapt to any space! I have plenty of experience with all types of animals, and am confident that I can care for yours.
“Lexi was wonderful with our dogs, and we returned home from our vacation to happy and healthy pups. One of our dogs is 14 years old with mobility issues; she has trouble moving around and needs quite a few medications and supplements with her meals. Lexi was more than willing to meet all her needs, and even made sure to leave food out for the neighborhood outdoor cat for us. We really appreciated the love and care Lexi showed our pets.”
About: With years of Rover experience at our previous home, in south Jordan, we’re excited to continue the adventure in Syracuse. Available for boarding, and walks on Tuesday/thursday/saturday/sunday. My partner and I have opposite schedules so there is always someone home to take care of your pups! I work from home on Tuesdays and Thursdays for drop in walks, as well as free all weekend. We have a fenced yard with two pups that will show them how to enjoy the space. We love all the snuggles and your pups are welcome on alllll the furniture (except the kitchen table, that’s too much 😂)
About: Hi! I’m a newlywed who loves dogs of all sizes and personalities. I have lots of experience caring for multiple dogs both in my home and in clients’ homes, and I treat every pup like they’re part of the family. I know routines, reading cues, and giving calm, loving attention makes pets feel happy and safe while you’re away. I also work with kids, so I totally get that your pets are like your little ones! I work around 25 hours a week, which means I have plenty of time to play, cuddle, and spoil your pups. My apartment doesn’t allow pets, but I would be so excited to spend time with yours at home or out on a fun walk! Pet care fits easily into my routine! I work part-time, which gives me plenty of flexibility for walks, playtime, cuddles, and keeping pets happy and active throughout the day. I love bringing fun, energy, and consistency into each pet’s routine so they feel comfortable, cared for, and loved while you’re away. When caring for pets in their home, I follow their usual routine so they feel comfy and relaxed. We’ll enjoy walks, playtime, cuddles, and lots of love in their favorite space. I keep things fun, calm, and consistent while making sure your pet feels safe, happy, and well cared for while you’re away.
“Kimmie went ABOVE and BEYOND to give our puppies the best days ever. They didn’t have any room to worry, they were just SOO loved and we feel so grateful to have had them available to watch our puppies. THANK YOU SO MUCH!!”
About: My mother tought me the responsibilities of pet care when I was a kid. Ive helped friends and family with their pets when they are traveling or working longer hours. My sister recommended i try out this app. So, here I am. Happy to help out I am generally pretty open. I have a few events on Tuesdays and Thursdays and ery other Wednesday. If you have any questions just let me know. I feel its all about adaptation. Most will usually want a bit of time to warm up, while others will absolutely revel in getting love and attention from a new person. Just respond accordingly.
About: Hello! I have worked as a professional dog trainer for over a year. I have worked with all ages and even dogs with special needs. I can care/train for your dog any time of the week. My schedule is very flexible and I can work weekends as well! Thank you I can come to your house to care for your pets. Take them potty and on walks. If you would like some training while you are gone I can do that as well. We can talk specifics if you need training.
“We couldn’t be happier with Zoe’s incredible care for our baby doggie, Caramel, while we were away on a family trip to Hawaii! From the moment we left, we knew Caramel was in the best hands. Zoe treated her like royalty, giving her so much love and snuggles that it almost made us jealous! We especially appreciated the regular updates, complete with photos of Caramel’s adorable antics and health check-ins. It brought us so much peace of mind knowing our sweet girl was happy and thriving while we were away. Zoe went above and beyond in every way, and we can’t recommend her highly enough. If you’re looking for someone who will love your pet as much as you do, Zoe is the one!”
“This is the second time I’ve had Jayd and Ecko watch my dog. They’re so great with him and make sure that he’s comfortable and happy. They’re super great with checking in and responding back quickly.”
“Kerry did a great job with our babies and communicated with us while we were in vacation about how things were going. In addition to taking care of the pets the house was tidy and he went above and beyond by taking our trash out to the curb. All the pets were I great spirits when we got home. Would recommend Kerry to family and friends.”
“Kaylee took excellent care of our fur family. We got photos for the first couple of days of our trip. When we got home, all pets were in good spirits and had clearly been well cared for. The house was also exactly as we had left it. We were so grateful for the care she took!”

Tayla was very kind and took great care of our Sammy girl! She washed the sheets and towels used which was not expected and we are appreciative of that extra step to leave the house clean for us! I would like a few more updates and pictures while we are gone to keep better communication (Sammy is our baby)! Other than that, she did wonderful and we would absolutely use her again! Thanks Tayla!
Kimmie was great. She came a couple days prior to the date needed and spent time getting to know my boys, and they were so excited. Kimmie kept us updated and sent photos of the boys and were very considerate and friendly. We will definitely be seeking Kimmie’s dog/house sitting services again.
Lyric stayed in our home for a couple nights to keep our cats company while we were gone. They were so happy when we arrived back home and seemed well taken care of. Lyric sent pictures each day and was very easy to work with. We are so appreciative to her for the last minute booking and peace of mind. We will definitely use her again in the future!

FAQs for House Sitting - West Point
Frequently asked questions about Rover
The average cost for House Sitting in West Point on Rover is $35.52 per night (as of July 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 July 2026, there are 1,718 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 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.
Yes, you can find sitters who have experience with handling special pet needs in West Point. On Rover:
- 95% of sitters can help with special care needs
- 100% 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.
