“Cheryl was great with our dog Luna. She came to meet with her a week before and answered our questions. On the day of the visit Cheryl was great and provided us an update and pictures and Luna clearly had a great time.”
About: I work for an animal shelter so I have TONS of hands-on experience with animals of all sizes and temperaments. I have been pet-sitting independently for over 10 years and have had over 70 clients during that time. My love of animals led me to pursue a bachelors degree in animal science and get a job working at an animal shelter right out of college. I’ve worked in shelters ever since and absolutely love it! Because of my career, I have a lot of speciality experience. I’ve taken care of everything from bottle baby puppies/kittens to senior animals. I even had a senior, diabetic cat of my own, so medical needs are no problem for me! I do have a full time job and work 7:3-3:30 Tuesday-Saturday so my schedule can be a bit limited by that, however, I can try to be flexible. Unfortunately, I can not invite any pets into my home because my senior kitty prefers to have all the attention on him! I am happy to do home visits/walking as needed though, but can not do overnight stays due to the medical needs of my pet.
About: I’ve worked as a full time nanny for the past 6 years and have been responsible for walking and caring for their pets too, I also have my own senior doggie, a 13 year old schnauzer and have always loved caring for kiddos and their animal friends too. I currently work as a nanny Monday- Friday, but only 4 hours per day because I am only responsible for school drop offs and pick ups, so a couple hours in the morning and a couple in the afternoon and I have the rest of the day available for walks and pet sitting! I can crate your dog if needed and provide any medication necessary for your pets, I love doing long walks and can stick to any schedule necessary whether that be feeding time or potty time. I am always punctual and I feel very passionate about making your pets feel safe and well taken care of.
About: I’m an animal lover and long time cat mom to rescues. I’ve been pet sitting since I’ve been a teen. Most of my pet sitting jobs have come from families that I babysit for or referrals. I have amazing references. I’m comfortable with all dog breeds and sizes. I enjoy long walks and nature. I’m trustworthy, reliable, dedicated, loving and caring. I treat everyone’s pets as if they were my own. I take pride in walking, feeding, and providing endless affection to all pets. I always provide extra love and care for my clients fur-babies! I have no problem collecting mail or packages, tending to the garden or flowers, and keeping the house tidy. If given the opportunity to care for your pet and/or Home, I will provide the best care possible.
About: I have loved animals since childhood, and when I was a child I had a cat. I also lived with my boyfriend's family for a year, they had a dog and I took care of Him. Now periodically my friends leave their dogs with me when they go on a trip or on a business trip. I love this expression: "Dogs talk, but only to those who can listen." I work online so I have a lot of time to play and take care of your dogs. The second part of the day is more freely , but I have a flexible schedule and can combine work and pet care. I have a large one-room apartment with plenty of space for a dog. Near the house there is a large area outside for walking, a few minutes away there is a large park with a lake. I walk the dog several times a day, feed it on schedule, and play with the cats' and dogs' favorite toys.
“Angela did a wonderful job watching our dog. She came 3 times a day for walks and feeding. We could tell that Leine was well taken care of. Definitely will use Angela and River again.”
“Diane has been an absolute pleasure! So is so kind to our pups and to us, and has gone above and beyond taking care of Tuk and Hamlet. We so appreciate Diane’s commitment and communication!”
About: I love dogs and love taking care of them. I have experience sitting up to three larger dogs at a time for up to a week. I take them on fun walks, make sure they are well-fed and given plenty of water, and I love playing with them and giving them lots of cuddles and love. But I am also firm when I need to be and keep them in line. I also have a kitten whom I absolutely adore, he is 7 months old and I’ve had him since July 2021. He is neutered, and he is full of energy so I’m sure he would love a playmate. Leaving your cat with me you can be assured that he or she will be well-fed, given lots of love and plenty of toys and room to play. I currently work part-time from home and because I create my own schedule, I have plenty of flexibility. My preferred hours are Monday-Thursday, 9:00 am-5:00 pm for walks and playdates. For boarding I can do any day of the week so long as you don’t mind your pet being left home alone for short periods of time. I give pets lots of attention and make sure they have everything they need. If at any point my kitten and your pet are not playing well, I can put my kitten away in his crate or in another room. I will provide toys, and of course you are welcome to bring your baby’s favorite toys. I love playing with cats and dogs so you can be sure they will have a great time. I live in a pet-friendly condo in a quiet, safe neighborhood, and if needed I can take your dog to my dad’s house 5 minutes away where there is a fenced backyard with plenty of room to run around.
About: As someone who has always grown up around dogs, I understand that your pup is a part of the family and I take pride in taking care of your furry loved ones while you’re away! I currently have a German shepherd/Boxer mix (lives with my family) and a Rottweiler (lives with me). I have previously volunteered at a humane society and have also been employed at a dog boarding facility. I enjoy watching Dog Impossible in my free time and would love to spend time with your 4-legged family member in my free time too! I’m also an animal and nature photographer, so I’d be happy to take high quality photos while you’re away! I’m currently working full time from home (Monday-Friday) so I’d be more than happy to welcome your pup into my home and have a new coworker, taking them out as needed, or pack up my gear and work with them in the comfort of their own home! Please check out my calendar for my most updated availability ☺️ I have a friendly dog to keep your pup company and I have a fenced in yard for all of your pups squirrel chasing and potty needs! I will always be cautious and careful to any and all of your pets needs while on leash too!

I’ve had her since she was a puppy (day she was born lol!) due to an accidental litter from my dog(who unfortunately passed away and is her mother) and my moms dog! So I am very good with puppy training as well😊I am good with administering medicine as needed for your fur baby if that is something you need!

About: I am a life-long dog lover, and current Pomeranian owner (Pom-mom). I have a fenced in yard and live near a park with a cute walking path. Your pup will be comfortable in my home and can sleep wherever you'd like, whether that be in his/her crate, in a spare room of mine, or on my couch!I will care for your dog as if they were my own and make sure his or her stay with me is an enjoyable and anxiety-free as possible. I also have experience fostering and have fostered senior dogs with special needs. I work from home as does my husband so someone is always home with your pup. We can follow any schedule your dog is used to. We have no kids, so for those pups that don’t do too well with young ones, we’re a perfect option. Our Pom is dog loving and plays well with other dogs. I would like for them to meet prior if possible to ensure both dog’s get along well.
About: I'm experienced with all responsibilities and more importantly keeping pets company and engaged in playing. Zoomies are the best! I currently work from home and I’m available for boarding. I enjoy the company and don’t mind early drop offs. I have a fenced yard and lots of forest near me for walks. I have two beagles who are gentle and friendly who love play dates. I ask that pet parents keep the time they requested for drop off and pick up as I plan my work around these times. I am home most of the day and take several walks during the day with my dogs. I have a dog door that allows pets to go to back yard should they need to use bathroom or run out to play for those that are bigger I accommodate with an open door to the yard. I make sure guest dogs feel accompanied and cared for with the same attention their owners give them. This helps them settle in with familiar activities. I ask pet owners to share with me their pet's favorite game or toy for fetch, anything to make them feel comfortable.

Dog parents share their Rover experiences - Westchester
Tamara was amazing! I booked her last minute to watch Charlie, and she was incredibly accommodating. What really stood out to me was that Tamara was recovering from surgery herself and was still so attentive with Charlie—even still taking her on walks. She kept me updated throughout her visits and sent pictures, which gave me peace of mind. I really appreciated how caring, reliable, and dedicated she was. I would absolutely book with Tamara again and highly recommend her.
Alexandra was amazing with both Panini and Lady! She was very comfortable with dogs, especially bulldogs, and clearly understood the extra attention and patience a puppy needs. I felt completely comfortable having her care for them and really appreciated how well she handled both of their different personalities and needs. I would absolutely recommend her and will definitely book with her again!
Isabella was wonderful with my dog while I was gone for the weekend! He's older and picky and needs a little extra care...she was great with drop in visits, giving him extra attention, and making sure he got enough exercise while I was away. Very kind and reliable, will definitely book with Isabella again!

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!

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 .
