“Damacia was absolutely wonderful with my dog. Easy to work with, gentle, kind, and truly a dog whisperer. Bentley felt comfortable right away, and I could tell he was being cared for with real patience and warmth. I would absolutely trust Damacia again and highly recommend them to anyone looking for thoughtful, compassionate pet care.”

“Jocelyn was an incredible cat sitter for our two young cats. She was great to communicate with and she sent us many pictures/videos while we were away. She made sure our cats were receiving attention, playtime and kindness. She really went above and beyond what we initially expected from a cat sitter.”
“Hanna took great care of our two kitties. She provided updates and pictures with regard to their routines and health and gave them the much needed attention they deserve while we are away. We sincerely appreciate her taking such good care of them and will definitely reach out to her for our next time away from home. Thank you so much Hanna!”

About: With 17 years of experience in veterinary medicine and professional pet care, I bring a unique combination of medical knowledge, animal-handling experience, and genuine compassion to every pet I care for. My experience caring for animals has taken me across the country and overseas, giving me the opportunity to work with many animals, pets, and families. I spent 10 years working in emergency veterinary medicine, so I am comfortable recognizing changes in a pet's condition, obtaining vital signs, and knowing when symptoms require veterinary attention and how soon. I am also experienced and comfortable administering medications of all types, insulin injections, and fluids under the skin, as well as caring for pets with medical or special needs. While I am not a professional pet trainer, I am comfortable working with a wide variety of behaviors and behavioral-training approaches and understand the importance of patience, consistency, and meeting each animal where they are. I know that when pet parents are away, their pets often need a little extra TLC, reassurance, and one-on-one attention. I make every effort to maintain their normal routine as closely as possible—from meals and medications to walks, playtime, rest, and plenty of companionship. My goal is for your pet to feel safe, comfortable, and cared for while you're away. Most importantly, I believe in open and honest communication. I strive to address questions and concerns before booking whenever possible, so you can feel confident, comfortable, and at ease knowing your pet is in capable hands. Whether your pet needs a long walk, a little extra attention, routine medication, or simply someone to make them feel less lonely while you're away, I would love the opportunity to care for them. ❤️ I am able to accommodate Thursday afternoons - Monday morning bookings. I work full-time as an administrator at a local veterinary hospital and am fortunate to make my own schedule. Prior to booking, I ensure the pet parent and I are aligned with the sitting/walking schedule. Before walking your pet, I will inspect leashes, collars, and harnesses fit appropriately and are safe. I will also be sure to know your pet’s friendliness, anxieties, and reactivities to strangers and other animals. At your home, I will follow your pet’s routines to the best of my ability and your instructions completely. In the case of emergency, I can perform CPR and first aid.
About: I have been around dogs my whole life, but I really fell in love with them when I adopted a rescue English bulldog named Gary seven years ago. He was an incredibly unique dog who came with his challenges in many ways, including leash aggression, fear of other dogs, and many health issues in his elderly years. He taught me so much about caring for our furry friends in many ways and prepared me for whatever they throw our way! I've missed him very much since his passing, and I'm looking to meet some new doggos to get my fill on companionship. I work from home, and I'm generally quite flexible to pop in for visits or walks. I usually only travel on weekends if I do at all. Having cared for a senior bulldog with myriad health issues, I am very attentive to diet, medications, physical challenges, etc. I am detail-oriented and take instructions seriously. I love to pet, play, and give extra love when visiting with dogs!
About: Pets are great blessings to our lives and therefore deserve to be treated with the utmost respect and care we can give them. I will treat your pet as if he or she is my own and ensure they are well-taken care of! I grew up owning a dog and have since added 2 more to my family. I shared the responsibilities of feeding them, playing with them, and caring for each dog with my family members. I would be grateful for the opportunity to get to know and care for your pet! I will be free to care for your pet during both weekdays and weekends. I will have more availability during the summer. Can pet-sit overnight on weekdays as well. I will send pictures of your pet for each walk or stay I do. I am also happy to meet with families to get to know the pet before care starts. I can also be reached by phone or email if anything comes up.
About: I’ve had 3 terriers since I was boy and have looked after them my whole life. I’ve also pet sat for my neighbours so I know how to deal with all types of pets. I’m currently enrolled at Emory university but am here for the summer and have lots of free time. I’m looking for work but have a very flexible schedule and can work meet your needs. I’m gentle and playful with dogs and want them to feel safe while also having fun. I’ll always listen to what I’m told by the owners and will take great care of them.
“Margot did a great job! She followed all the instructions, she provided photo updates, and gave our dog lots of attention. She was professional and personable. Ranger loved her and we were at ease knowing our boy was safe and cared for. We appreciated her care and I would recommend her.”
About: From a young age, I’ve had much experience caring for all kinds of pets, including various breeds, sizes, and ages. Friends, family, and neighbors have trusted me to make sure their pets receive the love, attention, and care they need while they’re away. My pet-sitting services range from overnight stays to quick drop-in visits, so I’m happy to accommodate whatever works best for you and your pets! I’ve always cared deeply for my own pets and understand just how much they mean to us. Pets truly are a person’s best friend, and I believe they deserve the same love, attention, and care that we would want for our own family. I am currently working a part-time job on the weekends, so I will have plenty of time to walk and take care of your pets. I have a fenced in backyard that my dog loves to run around and play in. When we go walks, they lead me, so I allow them to safely do what they want, within reason of course.
“Brandi has visiting and caring for my 3 senior large breed dogs for awhile now. She takes wonderful care of them and the dogs love her. I couldn’t ask for anything more.”
About: I have grown up with dogs and cats since infancy and I started petsitting professionally for neighbors, friends, family and others at age 12. Now, I love providing petsitting, dogsitting and petcare services for animals on the side. I have two well-behaved indoor cats of my own and they have many "cousins" (my mom bred Shelties and currently owns three, in addition to a kitten and my sister has a rescue pup). I have fostered moms with kittens from the SPCA. I am patient, kind, loving and caring for furry-faced friends brings me much joy and fulfillment! I currently take care of my best friend’s Maine Coon when she is out of town and on weekdays, I let out and play with her Corgi and lab puppy mid day. I also Petsit for neighbors as needed and have long term relationships with families whose dogs and cats I have taken care of for going on 6+ years! I work full time but it is regular 9-5 Mon through Fri hours and it is a remote job so I work from home. I am available in the mornings, evenings, weekends, holidays and can check in on pets during the day if needed. I have petsat for many folks while working full-time without any issues, and have already established a great routine for petsitting while working remotely! I live in a spacious two bedroom, two bathroom apartment. I have two friendly, well-behaved indoor cats who are familiar with dogs, cats and pets and have had foster cats, kittens and dogs in our apartment with no fights or problems! We do not have a yard, but the apartment is pet-friendly, in the suburbs, in a safe neighborhood and has lots of sidewalks, grassy areas and space for dog walking, etc. There is even a fenced-in dog park a minute from our apartment, in the complex! :) Our apartment is clean, spacious and has plenty of blankets, furniture and space for fuzzy-faced kiddos! I work full time but remotely and it’s easy for me to fit pet care into that routine! Having a flexible schedule allows me to work around your pets’ needs! I am flexible and am comfortable caring for your fur baby in my home or yours! Have provided both services over the years. Just let me know what best suits you!

Pet parents share their Rover experiences - Westchester
Sarah did an incredible job taking care of our typically anxious Shih Tzu! We have struggled in the past with boarding because he won’t eat and gets bad anxiety. Within the first minute of meeting Sarah he was so excited and wanting to play! She took great care of him - he was happy and comfortable and eating his food! When we came home he was acting like it was just any other normal day, we have never had this experience in his 8 years of life! She is super communicative, sweet and most importantly you can tell she really loves the animals she’s caring for 🥰 thank you Sarah for taking such great care of him!
We had a great experience with Marina! She is reliable, caring, and wonderful with our dog. It gave us such peace of mind knowing he was in good hands while we work such long hours. I definitely recommend her to anyone looking for a trustworthy and caring dog walker!
My cat is very hesitant around new people. Ann was extremely understanding and accommodating of his quirks to make him feel comfortable with her being in his space. She gave me thorough updates and multiple pictures every day. I highly recommend her, especially if you have skittish or quirky animals.

Frequently asked questions about Rover
The average cost of Pet Sitting in Westchester is $20 per visit as of November 2026. Most bookings cost between $12 and $28 per visit. On Rover, sitters set their own rates based on factors such as their experience, the length of care, the number of pets, and your pet’s specific needs. As long as your booking dates and pet profiles are accurate, the price shown before you confirm is the total, including any booking fee.
As of November 2026, there are 2,493 sitters on Rover offering Pet Sitting across Westchester. Enter your ZIP code to see which available sitters are closest to your home.
You and your sitter can agree on a care schedule that fits your pet’s routine and the sitter’s availability. Pet Sitting can be booked as a one-time or recurring drop-in visit. If you need overnight care or dog walks, you may also be able to book House Sitting or Dog Walking through Rover with the same sitter, provided they offer those services.
Before booking, confirm:
- the timing, length, and frequency of visits;
- the care instructions the sitter should follow;
- which parts of your pet’s usual routine should be prioritized;
- how often you would like to receive messages, photos, or other updates.
Not every sitter offers the same services, availability, or booking options. Review their profile and discuss the care you need through Rover before booking each service.
If you would like updates while you’re away, you can discuss with your sitter how many or how frequent you’d like those updates to be. The Rover app allows sitters to send photos, videos, and messages about your pet, including how many pee or poop breaks occurred. You can message your sitter at any time through the app and our support team is available 24/7 by email or chat if you have concerns.
The personalized, in-home nature of pet care through Rover can mean more individual attention for your pet.
Many pet parents provide a spare key or arrange a lockbox. You can also exchange keys during the Meet & Greet and show your walker how to use digital fobs or personalized codes. It helps to arrange access to your home, from spare keys to concierge introductions, before pet care begins.
If you live in an apartment or condo, don’t forget to discuss details like buzzer access, codes, or elevator etiquette. These details can help a pet sitter feel more comfortable going in and out of your building.
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.
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.
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
- 94% can help with giving oral medications or injections
- 95% 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.
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.
