“Dominic was great at accommodating a last minute request as I was going out of town for a funeral. Did a great job taking care of my cat and giving her eye drops.”

About: I have been caring for stray animals daily, especially stray cats that I regularly feed and look after. Over time, I’ve developed strong bonds with them through patience, trust, and consistency, and I’ve learned to understand their individual personalities and needs. I also grew up with a lot of animals in my surrounding which is how I became to love them and care for them. I’m working 9-5 but I have plenty of free time outside of work! I’m available after 5 PM on Thursdays and Fridays, and I’m completely flexible and available anytime on weekends. I’d be happy to work around your schedule and give your pets the time and attention they deserve! 🐾 I provide care in the client’s home so pets can stay comfortable in their own familiar environment. I follow their usual routine as closely as possible, including feeding, fresh water, playtime, walks, and plenty of attention and affection. I also make sure their space stays clean and safe, and I’m happy to send updates and pictures so you can feel reassured while you’re away. Most importantly, I take the time to understand each pet’s personality and needs so they feel comfortable and cared for.
About: I have been caring for pets of all ages, for 15 years. I have loved living with dogs and cats in the past. I currently do not have a pet so I’m excited to give yours all my attention! I work full time, from 8-5. I am free in the afternoons and weekends to either stop in or stay with them if needed. I will be diligent in following directions to try to keep them on their regular schedule as much as possible. I want to keep you and them happy and stress free!
“Laura Rose was great - friendly and helpful. Laura was very good with our dogs, and they and our house were well taken care of. We appreciated receiving photos while we were gone. A positive experience for me and the dogs.”
“Kayla was so great with my guy. He has special needs and she made sure she fully understood his routine and needs. He loved her. I highly recommend Kayla and she will be my go-to whenever I am in the area.”
About: I grew up taking care of and pet sitting a half dozen dogs between my own and cousins’ houses. I take pride in treating your pets like family and ensuring a good time is had by all. My schedule is open allowing me to take care of your dogs in your home, mine, or engage in a daily walk schedule, plan etc. I’m happy to oblige to the care of your pets in your home, but generally wouldn’t be boarding, so to say, animals in my own home. I have a vehicle outfitted with a safety net, as well as the experience to know that dogs can surprise you and it’s better safe than sorry. Leashes are constantly held and my attention is not often distracted from your pet while they’re in my care!
About: Hi! I’m a reliable and caring dog sitter with experience caring for dogs of different breeds and sizes. Having owned and cared for several dogs in the past, I understand the importance of providing love, attention, exercise, and a safe environment while you’re away. I genuinely enjoy spending time with dogs and treat every pet as if they were my own. I look forward to helping keep your furry friend happy, comfortable, and well cared for! I do have an another job I do as well but I make my own schedule with it so I have a very flexible schedule! I have a spacious apartment that your pet can roam freely around and it is dog proof as I have my own dog that your pet can play with!
About: I've grown up surrounded by pets—from energetic pups to laid-back cats—and caring for animals has always been second nature. For the past three years, I’ve been the go-to pet sitter for my family during vacations, making sure their pets are safe, happy, and loved. I bring that same level of care and attention to every pet I meet! I also have an in house camera system for constant monitoring. Working third shift gives me a flexible daytime schedule, which means I’m wide awake and available when most people are at work. Whether it’s morning walks, afternoon playtime, or midday check-ins, I have the time and energy to give your pet the attention they deserve. I provide care from my apartment, creating a safe and cozy environment for your pet. I live in a very quiet pet friendly neighborhood. I'm also physically strong, which allows me to confidently handle larger or high-energy dogs while keeping them safe and happy. I use flea prevention spray and traps between each client.
About: I love taking care of any kind of dogs, I believe they have the most genuine hearts! I’ve always been a dog person and was person my family/friends went to if they needed a pet sitter. I think that dogs can sense good people and their intentions, which is why I think they are so friendly with me. I go to school from 8:00-3:25 Monday’s, Tuesday’s, and Thursdays; and 11:20-3:25 on Wednesday’s and Friday’s. I do have an after school job from 4:00-8:00 Monday-Thursday, but they are flexible and can work around my schedule for walks or potty breaks! My weekends are always available considering I do not work weekends, so I will have plenty of time to play with your pups! Once I get a run down and the rules for the dogs/house, I can easily put them in crates if needed when leaving for school/work or walk them on a leash around the neighborhood. I’ve always had multiple dogs in my house growing up my entire life, so getting down their schedules and how they like to play should be very easy for me!
About: Your pets deserve the same amount of love and care, even when your away. I have been in home pet sitting for about 6 years now taking care of family and friends pets. I have cared for dogs, cats and even bunnies on occasion. I love to go on hikes and would love to take your dog with me to experience nature. When I'm not hiking snuggling up with a good book and a furry friend is always nice. Not all pets like to snuggle up though, and thats ok. I hope to understand your pets to provide the best care possible. I also like to send picture of your pets to you while you are away, so no need to worry. Your pets deserves the same love, care, and understanding as they always receive. I hope to provide that while you are away. I currently work part time as a substitute teacher, so my schedule is really flexible. Some days I work from 7 am to 3:30pm and some is only work half days. Some days I don't work at all and those are days your pet would relieve extra walks and playtime. Most of my evening are free of plans and consist of relaxing, so your pet will have company in the evenings. Pets like consistency. I will do my best to stick to as similar schedule as possible for your pets. Same feeding time, potty breaks, walks, and play time. Making sure your house stays as clean as you left it so you can have a stress free arrival back home. I will be the only person that comes into you house to care for your pets. I won't bring friends over to your house, you deserve to know who exactly is going in and out of your house. I will care for your pets and home like it's my own.
“Denzel took great care of my puppies, always replied in a timely manner, was very flexible with any request we had, very responsible. Will be booking with him in the future.”
“Maddie was amazing with our dogs! She was caring, reliable, and kept us updated while we were away. Our dogs were happy and clearly loved spending time with her. We felt completely at ease knowing they were in great hands. We’ve booked Maddie multiple times and will definitely continue to do so! 🐾”
About: I’ve been around dogs my whole life and have plenty of hands-on pet sitting experience. I’ve cared for my brother’s two medium-sized dogs as well as my aunt’s and uncle’s dogs, including overnight stays. Since I work from home, I have a flexible schedule and can give pets plenty of attention throughout the day. I’m also very active and go on daily walks—even in the Arizona summer—so your dog will get lots of exercise, fresh air, and love while you’re away. I treat every pet like they’re my own and strive to make them feel safe, happy, and comfortable. I work remotely Monday through Friday, which allows me to provide plenty of attention and care throughout the day. My schedule is flexible, making it easy to accommodate walks, potty breaks, playtime, feedings, and lots of companionship. I finish work in the early afternoon, so my evenings are open for additional walks, exercise, and quality time with your pet. I do attend a fitness class for about an hour most days, but otherwise I’m home and love spending time outdoors, making it easy to keep active dogs happy and engaged. Your pet’s safety and comfort are always my top priorities. As a remote project manager, organization, communication, and reliability are part of my everyday job, and I bring those same qualities to pet care. I take the time to learn each pet’s routine, personality, and any special instructions so they feel comfortable and cared for. Whether I’m stopping by for a walk or staying overnight, I’ll provide plenty of attention, exercise, fresh water, and affection. I’ll also keep you updated with photos and messages, so you can relax knowing your pet is in good hands.

Pet parents share their Rover experiences - Westchester
Jonathon was great with my three large breed pups ranging from 2 to 13 years old. Two required meds and he was able to maintain that easily even with the stubborn one. My house was just as we left it. He sent many videos and photos keeping me informed and allowed me to enjoy our trip knowing my babies were so well cared for.
Alexa was a dream to work with! She is extremely responsive and was very attentive to our needs. She house sat for us for a few days and sent us a bunch of cute pictures of Hamlet and Marty while we were away. She left the house exactly as we left it. We will be contacting her for our next trip!
Sam was wonderful! She cleaned up after herself, communicated with us really well, and most importantly, loved and cared for our pup like we do. She was incredibly thoughtful and intuitive about his care, and I felt completely comfortable knowing he was in good hands with her. We would absolutely have her back!

The average cost of House Sitting in Westchester is $41 per night as of November 2026. Most bookings cost between $33 and $67 per night.

As long as your booking dates and pet profiles are accurate, the price shown before you confirm is the total, including any booking fee.

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 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.

- 98% 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.
