“Luis is my number one choice for holding things down with my furry crew when I travel. He is a kind and communicative person who spends quality time with my kitties, and makes sure they have all the food and water and fresh litter they could possibly need every day. I’m grateful for him!”
About: I’ve cared for cats and dogs of all ages for friends and family members, in addition to raising my own cat. I have experience caring for animals with health concerns and administering medications as directed. I understand the importance of maintaining feeding schedules, providing exercise and enrichment, monitoring for changes in behavior, and ensuring pets feel safe and comfortable while their owners are away. I am currently taking a flexible, self-paced class so I have open availability to take care of pets as needed. I have open availability on weekdays and can do weekends as needed. I have a medium sized yard for the pets to get outdoor excercise. I also have a large basement where I can set up a crate, litter box, toys, etc
“Great communication, friendly and professional! Has experience with pitties, which is was a determining factor in our booking. Karen was very understanding and supportive of Diesel's needs.”
“Ashlee came to watch my cat Norby for the third time and I couldn’t be more thankful for her help. Leaving my cat is always hard but she makes everything so much easier and my cat loves her!”
About: Hi! I’m 22 and a college athlete who plays basketball and softball in Boston. We’re currently on break until late January, and I’m looking to pet sit or help out in any way I can. I grew up with dogs and recently lost my own, so spending time with other pups really means a lot to me. I love walks, playtime, and giving dogs lots of attention and cuddles. I’ve also walked dogs for a neighbor and would treat your dog like they’re my own! Pet care fits really naturally into my routine. Since I’m currently on break from school until late January, I have a flexible schedule and plenty of time to give pets the attention they deserve. I’m happy to help with walks, drop-ins, feeding, playtime, or overnight care and can adjust my schedule to meet each pet’s needs I will gladly take care of your pets in your home, or even take them on hikes if need be! I am able to help overnight as well as needed.
About: I have grown up with a variety of animals all my life. I have two dogs and cat right now and have grown up taking care of them. I have also had 12 bunnies at one point! Through this I have gained experience taking care of all animals and their needs. I have also been trusted by family and friends to take care of their pets when they are on vacation or an emergency comes up. I am a teacher my work starts in August and ends late May but I am able to make time around my schedule to best fit the needs of your pet. I am always focused on the animal I am taking care of to ensure their safety. When pet sitting in someone's home I ensure you that your home will be just as clean as you left it! Schedule is completely open to fit you and your pets needs. Whether it be sitting for a night, walks during the day, or for a couple hours. My current dog is leash reactive and I have attended many group and private training sessions. I understand how stressful it can be to trust someone with a dog that needs a little more guidance. If your pup struggles with reactivity I understand the importance and safety that comes with it. I have cared for a variety of dog breeds and have had zero issues with any. Some breeds I have worked with: Labs, Pit Bulls, Cane Corso, Great Pyrenees, Grey Hound, German Shepherd, Chihuahua, Great Dane, Giant schnauzer, Sheep Doodle, German Shorthair Pointer, Husky, Bernese Mountain dog and more! My schedule is pretty open so I’m able to fit any needs your pet may have! Even with teaching I try my very best to accommodate to you and your pets needs. When taking care of your pet I do my best to follow your instructions and keep up with their routines. It’s important to me that your pet feels comfortable with someone new taking care of them. I also am willing to take care of the mail or water plants if needed!
“This our second time having Paola care for our furbabies while we were out of town and she was just as amazing as the last time. Words cannot express how much we appreciate her attention to detail and thoughtfulness. She even found a new game to play with our one kitty who doesn’t like to play very much! Paola truly takes all of our stress and worry away when we have to leave our babies. With Paola, we know they are in great hands!”
About: Hi there! I’m Rajda. For the past 10 years, I’ve provided pet sitting services to friends and family so I’m used to handling feeding routines, walks, playtime, and making sure they feel comfortable. Whether you need drop-ins, overnight stays, or someone to love your fur baby like their own, I’m here for it! I may be new to professional pet sitting, but I’ve helped care for dogs, cats, chickens, goats, and cows over the past few years! I’m happy to provide updates and photos, and I’m committed to making your pet feel safe, loved, and happy while you’re away. I work remote, so I'll have plenty of time to play and watch your dogs or cats! I'm available for overnight pet sitting, dog walking, or check-ins throughout the week as needed. I’m active and love being outdoors, so pets who enjoy walks and fresh air will get plenty of it! I provide a calm, clean, and structured environment where pets feel safe and comfortable.

I prioritize clear communication, regular updates, and photos so owners always feel confident their pet is in good hands!
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!

About: I’ve taken care of dogs my whole life. I was never allowed to have a dog growing up so I would help out my neighbors wherever i was living at the time when they were at work. I also volunteered at an animal shelter for a couple years and went through proper training on how to take care of and make both dogs and cats feel as comfortable as possible. I was finally able to convince my parents to let me have a dog and I have been the main caretaker of my golden doodle smudge for about three years now I have recently switched jobs so I have a lot more free time on my hands and am finally able to get started with Rover after wanting to job for years. This way I can take care of and love on all of the animals and I can take some of the responsibilities off of another animal parent because I know it can be hard sometimes. My dog gets two meals a day and a snack around lunch time. We go on a short morning walk and a longer evening walk after dinner. For overnight house sitting my goal is to make sure to follow the routines that clients already have in place for their pets as not to change their schedules. My boyfriend Cameron and I love taking care of the dogs and giving them a special staycation

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 .
