About: With 5 years of pet care experience, I’ve cared for dogs, cats, and reptiles with a variety of needs and personalities. I’m comfortable caring for up to three dogs at once and have plenty of hands-on experience with cats and reptiles as well. I can handle feeding, walks, playtime, litter boxes, check-ins, and daily routines. I’m dependable, attentive, and make sure every pet gets the care and attention they’re used to while their owners are away. I’m currently a master’s student at the University of Miami, which gives me flexibility in my schedule for pet care. I’m available for drop-in visits, walks, and overnight care throughout the week and on weekends. I care for pets in their own home, where they can stay comfortable in their familiar environment and routine. I follow each owner’s instructions closely, including feeding schedules, walks, medications, litter care, and any other specific needs. I’m respectful of both your pets and your home and will make sure they receive plenty of attention and care while you’re away.
About: I have several years of experience caring for dogs of all sizes, ages, and personalities. I have worked with dogs in daycare and boarding environments and understand how to keep them safe, comfortable, and happy. I’m experienced with feeding, walking, playtime, cleaning, and providing individual attention. I treat every dog like family and always prioritize their safety and well-being. I take them out 7 to 8 times a day I send you a daily photo or a video so you can see how you are spending your stay I play with them since I have what I need and I will give you long walks I'll give her long walks I'll send you photos and videos I won't have her caged I can give her medication if she needs it we'll play a lot she'll feel very comfortable and confident
About: I’ve been around and cared for animals for most of my life. In high school, I was part of the Veterinary Science Magnet Program at Felix Varela, where I earned my CVA certification and studied veterinary science and animal care. I also spent around three years training dogs through the program. During my senior year, I completed an internship at a veterinary clinic, where I got about two years of hands-on experience working as a vet tech. I fostered throughout high school and for a while after, which gave me experience caring for pets with different personalities, behaviors, and needs. I have experience with pets of all different sizes and ages and I’m comfortable with feeding, walking, bathing, basic training, and of course giving them plenty of attention and love. Having pets of my own, I know how important it is to have someone you trust taking care of them. I currently work part-time and am also in school, but I have a flexible schedule that gives me plenty of time for pet care. I’m available throughout the week for walks, drop-ins, feeding, playtime, and other care depending on what you and your pet need. I always follow each pet’s normal routine and any instructions provided by their owner. I pay close attention to feeding schedules, medications, leash safety, doors and gates, and any behavioral or medical concerns. I’m comfortable caring for pets with different personalities and needs, and I make sure they feel safe and comfortable while in my care. I’ll also treat your home with the same care and respect I would my own.
“Deborah did an outstanding job with our babies. When I got home neither of them were stressed out from us being gone or from the sitting. She did what she said she would and what we asked from her. We will be rebooking with Deborah again.”
“Andreina & Mercedes were absolutely great and provided 5 star service. Great communication with detailed updates and pictures throughout the stay. Would definitely recommend and book again. Thank you so much!”
About: Hello, I grew up with a golden retriever who was my best friend so I have big love for the big doggies. I don’t have a dog of my own but I love them so much!! I thought this would a great way to love dogs. Im reliable, very active and spend a lot of time outdoors. I’ll treat your pup as my own and will spoil them with love. I am currently a student and only have one in person class on Tuesday’s at 1PM but can take care of your pet anytime that you need! I am very flexible and can adapt to your pets needs! I love to be outside so the more time I can spend outdoors the better and will love to play and entertain your pet with toys and chasing.
“We feel so lucky to have found Natalia! From our first meet and greet, it was clear that our dog and Natalia had an instant connection. Natalia is genuinely kind and caring, and she took amazing care of both our pup and our home while we were away. She kept us updated every day with photos and videos, which really put our minds at ease. Coming home to a happy dog and a tidy house was the best feeling. We couldn't have asked for a better sitter and will absolutely be booking her again!”
“Mia was a phenomenal sitter for my two pups! We recently moved from Dallas to Miami, and I was nervous to leave them, but Mia was quick to step in and love on them. She sent photos and/or videos every day while I was away, which put my heart at ease. By the time I returned home, they were great friends! I will absolutely be partnering with Mia again!”
“Alexis was fantastic with our fur baby! She provided regular updates and photos which put us at ease while we were gone. When we returned home, everything was just like we left it. We've already booked her for our next trip. Thanks Alexis!!!”
About: Dogs, cats, and pets in general have been in my life since I can remember, and I love spending time with them. I offer high quality service to make your best friend feel like this is their home....or their vacation time!!😉 l live with my daughter, she is 12 years old and has a female Maltese. She loves dogs as much as I do!!! I am working full time for Rover doing different pet's services. Please, contact me via email, text, or phone call with any question you may have. I have a fenced yard for your pet safety and protection. The yard is big enough to accommodate your pet and let them play and run around. I have a Cat Room wich is completely ready with cat furniture to play and relax.
“Thank you Johanna for loving on our pups while we were away. The communication was strong the entirety of our trip, and though she didn’t stay the night, she made sure to walk them enough so they were good to go. We look forward to our next booking!”
“Stephanie was absolutely amazing! She accepted my Rover booking on very short notice, just a few days before the service, which immediately gave me so much relief. From the start, she was communicative, professional, trustworthy, and incredibly reliable. She took such great care of my pups and kept me updated with regular messages and photos, which made me feel completely at ease while I was away. My pups were happy, relaxed, and clearly very well cared for when I returned home. It was obvious they felt comfortable with her, and they warmed up to her right away — which says everything. Not only were my dogs happy, but my home was also left very tidy and well cared for. Stephanie truly went above and beyond, and I highly recommend her to anyone looking for a caring, dependable, and attentive sitter. I would absolutely book with her again!”

About: I used to do alot of babysitting for my next door neighbor with her dachshund and also around the neighborhood cats and dogs. I did it a lot in high school and through out the years. I'm currently working full-time at a therapist's office front desk and on weekends at a candle-making shop. I can always work around my schedule it's pretty much flexible. I used to have a dog a wheaten terrier she passed away in March which was the hardest month for me. So I need that interaction.
“Alana was wonderful with our baby Kaya. She sent photos, updates and was quick to answer any questions we had. She was able to give our dog her medicine, and took her for her regular walks. We came home to a spotless home, and a happy dog. We look forward to having Alana come back soon, without hesitation. Thank you Alana!”
About: Ever since I was young I grew up around pets. I currently have two sweet dogs. My chihuahua who I’ve had since I was 6 years old, and my French bulldog that I’ve had since 2023. As well as I’ve helped rescue foster 4 cats (now living with my boyfriend). I’ve always had a passion for animals, no matter how big or small. I currently work part-time, Monday through Thursday from 2 PM–7 PM, and Friday and Saturday until 7 PM. This gives me plenty of availability in the mornings, evenings, and Sundays to care for your pets. I’m happy to work around your schedule and your pet’s routine, whether they need walks, check-ins, feeding, playtime, or overnight care. I’ve grown up around dogs my whole life and have cared for pets with all kinds of personalities, sizes, and needs. I’ve had my Chihuahua for 12 years and my Frenchie for 3 years, which has taught me the importance of consistency, patience, and paying attention to a pet’s routine. I’ve also worked with puppies by teaching basic tricks, practicing patience, and reinforcing good behavior. When caring for a dog or cat, I make sure they’re fed on schedule, have fresh water, get plenty of exercise and playtime, and receive the attention and supervision they need. I’m also comfortable following specific feeding, medication, crate, walking, or care instructions to keep their normal routine as consistent as possible. 🐾
About: Hi I'm Helen! As someone who has been riding and caring for horses since I was 8, I can say with confidence that your beloved pet will appreciate the time and effort I put into making his or her experience comfortable, memorable, and full of belly rubs! I am currently a student at the University of Florida, but will be in Miami for a few weeks before I head to New York to compete with my horse, Bella. At home, I have a beautiful mutt named Menemsha and a cat named Rosie, who I rescued from underneath a bush in my back yard when I was 6. There is truly nothing I love more than getting to know and care for different pets, and I can't wait to meet yours! I’m currently working part time as a wellness coach. Between client meetings & check ins, I have several free hours during the day. I am happy to work with you & manage my schedule to better suit your needs! I don’t currently offer care services at my home, as my cat is pretty skittish! When I’m at your home, I will diligently tend to your pet’s needs, and follow any care instructions you may provide.
The median cost per night for house sitting in Westchester is $50
Pet parents share their Rover experiences - Westchester
We left our 1 year old dog with autumn for 15 days while we traveled abroad. We have only had our dog for a couple months, so she’s still in training. Autumn kept up the training while we were away which we really appreciated. She communicated with us every day, and it really helped us relax and enjoy our vacation knowing our girl was safe with Autumn. We came back to a clean home & a happy dog which is all we can ask for!
Devin was amazing with our golden retriever, Honey! She was reliable, communicative, and took such great care of her while we were away. Honey was happy, loved, and clearly in excellent hands. We would absolutely trust Devin to watch her again and highly recommend her!
Hannie is AWESOME!! She handled my pack of Dobermans with ease (no small feat by ANY means) after only one meet and greet. She took amazing care of everyone, made sure they were well-fed and handled the pack dynamics perfectly. My babies were in heaven with her (she takes the cutest pics & videos!!) and were very clearly well cared for when I got home. I am so happy to have met Hannie, and my pups are obsessed with her. As a big dog owner I’m always nervous with new sitters, but I felt immediately at ease with Hannie (and my dogs were immediately obsessed with her). She followed all the instructions and went above & beyond in just making sure everyone was happy, safe, and having fun. Thank you Hannie!
Natalie was so great! We did a couple meet and greets as one of my babies is a little wary of new people. She was so patient and a dog whisper. Both my dogs took to her so fast. She was extremely communicative during our trip and sent lots of photos. She followed all our instructions perfectly and gave our dogs lots of love and attention. We would love to have her house sit for them again in the future
Amanda was amazing once again. She accepted a last-minute weekend request and took such great care of our two dogs. She kept us updated with photos and messages, and since this was her second time staying with them, they were clearly excited to see her again. What made this stay extra special was the personal touch—she left us a handwritten note and even an embroidered patch featuring both dogs. It was such a thoughtful surprise. We truly feel at ease knowing Amanda is with them, and we can’t wait to have her back again. Highly recommend!
I can’t even tell you how lucky we are that we found Selena to watch our sweet dolly dog! She took care of our girl for a week at our apartment and I swear dolly is going through withdrawals from missing her! She was so communicative and dolly clearly had the time of her life! Don’t hesitate booking Selena if you want an amazing caretaker for your pet!

Frequently asked questions about Rover
The average cost for House Sitting in Westchester on Rover is $49.95 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 3,650 sitters on Rover offering House Sitting across Westchester. 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 Westchester 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 Westchester 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 Westchester 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 Westchester. On Rover:
- 91% of sitters can help with special care needs
- 96% can help with giving oral medications or injections
- 99% 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.
