About: At an early age, I started walking the neighborhood dogs. I’ve always loved animals, and treat them as my own. Friends and family often rely on me to watch their pets and take them out when needed. I’m very attentive and will treat every animal with the kindness they deserve. I work from home three days a week, and have the weekends off. I have a pretty flexible schedule and can take my work with me anywhere I go. Caring for your pets in your home will be my main priority. I will make sure they are well taken care of, loved, and feel safe.

About: I've had a love for dogs for as long as I can remember as I have helped care for my parents and a variety of friend's dogs throughout the years and enjoyed every second of it. Weekend appts work best for me but am willing to work with you if you need help on the weekdays with any of my listed services. I work eight hour days, five days a week Mon-Fri, so your fur baby will be without a potty break until I get home on those days. I am available all day Saturday and Sunday. I do not have a large backyard but will make sure they get plenty of stimulation outdoors with long walks and play. I would prefer it if your dog is crate trained and would need to be either crated or separated using my dog gates while I am at work. I have a shih tzu of my own who is very friendly and submissive. Ultimately, whatever the client needs for their dog will be made possible so long as it is feasible.

“Alexander seemed to do a good job with my cat Carlos, sending me photo's etc. However apparently Carlos wasn't fond of Alex and seemed aggressive according to Alex. I am sorry about that. Alex gave me peace of mind that my cat was Oaky.”

About: I’ve been dog sitting for about 5 years and have experience with puppies as well as older dogs. I love cats as well and would love to help you out with whatever animal care needs you have. I have worked at a veterinary clinic for almost 3 years now and have gained lots of experience. I am mainly looking for dog walking gigs, but am always happy to consult on other needs. My schedule is pretty open for the most part. I am taking college classes part time, so I do have class for a few hours on Tuesday’s and Thursdays. Other than that I am usually free. My dogs have access to a fenced in area outside that is connected to a doggy door, but I am used to taking dogs out frequently when I am dog sitting.

About: I've taken care of a variety of pets since I was 9 years old. I have a variety of clients around the 574 area along with down where I go to college. Sitting/boarding, walking, and training is where I have the most experience with pets. I'm often the first call from family and friends when in search of pet care and training. I raised a very medically compromised puppy from birth so I have experience with those caliber of animals. Registered veterinary technician. Work Monday-Thursdays 8a-6p so I’m available Thursday evening-Sunday afternoon for a variety of different services. Can potentially make arrangements for weeknight care if needed but I wouldn’t be available until after 7 pm. I have a fenced in yard with three small dogs of my own. They are all very gentle and laid back and welcoming to other dogs in the household, with one being a puppy who is eager to have a playmate as the other two generally don't play unless out in the yard. I love getting to know the owners as well as their pets and their preferences and quirks to ensure that I can give the best care possible.

About: What sets me apart as a pet sitter is my calm, patient energy. Animals tend to feel comfortable with me quickly, and I focus on creating a safe, low-stress environment for them. I’ve had dogs my whole life, so I understand how important it is to treat them like family. I take the time to get to know each pet’s personality and routine so they feel as comfortable and cared for as possible. I’m very reliable and attentive, and I make sure each pet gets not just the care they need, but extra love and attention too. As a teacher, I have a more flexible schedule during the summer and love staying busy. Pet care fits perfectly into my routine I enjoy getting outside for walks, spending time with animals, and making sure they feel cared for and comfortable throughout the day. When I’m caring for pets in a client’s home, I try to keep things as normal and comfortable for them as possible. I follow their usual routine for feeding, walks, and playtime, and make sure they’re getting plenty of attention while I’m there. I’m very attentive and make sure pets are safe, secure, and well cared for during each visit. I also respect your home and keep everything just as I found it. Right now, I’m focusing on walks and drop-in visits, so I’m not currently offering overnight stays or having pets in my home.

About: My entire life I’ve had the blessing to care for pets. From my Rottweiler Roxie, to my sweet kitty Nala, I’ve learned what to look for to provide the best care to my animals. I’ve also had extensive training in caring for livestock. During my undergrad I spent three years as a pig farmer and I loved every minute of it. I’m hoping to work most days after 3pm but no later than 10pm. I have some flexibility on most weekends. Would prefer mornings during the weekend but I am flexible. I have a fenced in yard that my cat likes to explore in. I also have a laundry room that can be used to separate my cat from any of your animals if needed.

“We had a short notice trip and thankfully we're able to find Anthony available. After a meet and greet with our 2 adult dogs and 1 puppy we knew it would go well. Even our puppy who is a little hesitant of new people loved him immediately. Anthony did good with sending pictures, keeping the house clean, and making sure to send updates.”

About: Hi, Im Michaela and welcome to my page! I have created a “hotel for dogs” in my home and have been doing this for over 5 years now! Before I began working for myself I worked at Waverly animal hospital for 2 years! I am highly trained and qualified to meet all your needs. I have been trained in giving medication as well as being able to handle timid/aggressive behavior. I also have been trained in introducing dogs to each other. I guarantee the best care for your pets, along with safety , fun , and all the love to give! A little about me: I’m a NEW mom to a wonderful baby boy who loves and enjoys your pets just as much as I do! I’m am very CAUTIOUS when it comes to letting my son near your pets. I do not allow any contact without direct supervision. I DO have help at my house during boardings so keeping my son separated from timid/aggressive pets WILL NOT and HAS NOT been an issue. I will attach a few photos of the interactions between my son and pets :) Pets love boarding at my house !! My house includes a LARGE partially fenced in yard (currently being redone) along with a giant cleaned spacious garage, and a big basement all used for playtimes! My house is open for free roaming . I do have two medium sized kennels and one large kennel ONLY used when double boarding and separate play times are needed! I provide the same care with in home sittings as well . Walks, playtimes, TREATS, and LOTS OF LOVEEEE! I PROVIDE BARKBOX TOYS AND TREATS , let me know if there are any allergy concerns! There is round clock care, 24 hour play and love time.

Although my backyard is currently only partially fenced I do have extremely long dog chains that stretch all the way from one end to the other end of my large backyard. So if they must be on leash when outside , running around will not be a problem for them :)

About: I have taken care of dogs and other animals since I was around ten years old. I love to interact with them and have as much fun as they do playing. I am a current student at Michigan State University diligently pursuing a degree in zoology. I have a passion for taking care of animals that I have had since I was young. I'm always aware of my surroundings and potential issues when animals are around whether for the safety of me or the animal. I am a patient and compassionate animal lover through and through.

“Tori is a world-class pet - and house - sitter! She takes great care of my baby girl Winwin, always keeps me up to date on her goofus activities and gives her plenty of pets (and according to Winwin, a... sufficient amount of Churus... but Winwin loves Churus). She's always respectful of my property and if I ask her to pick up the mail or bring a small package inside she takes care of everything! Love having this lady in the Fenton area!”

About: We will treat your dog(s) as our own. My friends tell me I have a special way of patting dogs and they (the dogs) seem to love it. They will get good belly rubs, behind-the-ear scratches and whatever love they need from both my husband and me. Our large fenced yard will entice your dog(s) to run and play as well as relax. We are comfortable looking after more than one dog at a time as we have a dog of our own. Just an FYI, Fiona, our 14.5 year old passed away in December 2023. We adopted Meeka in February 2024 who loves playing with other dogs and people. We also just adopted Simba in mid-April 2024. He is slowly getting socialized and loves playing with Meeka. They definitely keep each other company! Your dogs will also feel more comfortable in our house knowing that they are welcome and have familiar dog faces and smells here. I am also comfortable taking care of your dog(s) in your house to ensure your fur-children continue to stay in the comforts of their own homes. My husband and I look forward to meeting you and your dog(s) soon. My husband and I do this together. We both work full-time at the office but I work 2 days from home. During the in-office days, we will let the dogs out when we wake up and after one of us get back home. The other two days and on weekends, they get let out every 2-3 hours or as and when they need to go. My husband helps me when he’s home and we go for daily walks in the evenings and weekends. We love patting and playing with them as that’s our routine with our own dogs so rest assured, we’ll make sure your dog gets loved too. Meet and greets are always preferred because we want to make sure you’re comfortable with our family and vice versa. If your dog(s) will be in our home, my husband will be helping out. Therefore, we want to make sure our pups play well with each other too. If you need a house sitter while you’re gone because it’s easier and better for your pets to be in the comforts of their own home, it’ll either be my husband or I. In this case, we want to make sure you’re comfortable with both of us. Boarding/Daycare: We have a fenced backyard and require all boarders to be crate-trained and come with a crate, especially for feeding time and if things get wild. For older dogs like when we had Fiona, she struggled to go up and down the deck stairs so I let her out in the front yard which isn’t fenced. However, I went with her and she was great at not taking off with me and my husband. Meeka and Simba are always leashed when they get let out in the front. If you’re worried about your dog being in the front yard, we will always use a leash. Otherwise, the backyard is more than sufficient if they’re okay with stairs. Home Sitting: We will do our best to stick with your routine with your dog. I do work full-time, 2 days from home and my husband goes to the office all 5 days. If your dog loves walks/car rides, we'd be happy to have them meet ours and they can walk together. If there are other animals in your home that's need to be card for, please let us know. I am an animal lover and will learn quickly to care for animals I’ve not taken care of before.

FAQs for Pet Sitting - Westchester Heights

Frequently asked questions about Rover

Rover is the largest marketplace for local pet care. Whether you're looking for pet sitters, dog walkers, or house sitters who specialize in pet sitting, you can narrow your search by entering your ZIP code to find sitters within walking distance in your neighborhood.

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 administering medication or managing dietary requirements. You can also find pet sitters who accept only one pet at a time, which is ideal for anxious puppies 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 request a 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.
