About: Animals have always been a huge part of my life, and caring for them is something I genuinely love. I have several years of experience working in veterinary hospitals, including kennel care, veterinary assistance, and client services. My experience has taught me how to recognize changes in behavior, understand animal body language, handle different personalities, and provide attentive, compassionate care. I’m comfortable with feeding routines, medication administration, basic grooming, cleaning, and making sure pets feel safe and comfortable. I understand that every pet is different, and I believe in taking the time to earn their trust rather than rushing interactions. Whether your pet is playful, shy, senior, or needs a little extra patience, I’ll treat them like family. I have a flexible daily schedule, which allows me to dedicate plenty of time and attention to the pets in my care. I’m available for morning, afternoon, and evening visits and can work around each pet’s individual routine. I enjoy spending my days caring for animals, making sure they receive plenty of attention, playtime, and affection. Your pet’s comfort and well being will always be a priority! I believe in providing a safe, comfortable, and loving environment while maintaining each pet’s normal routine. In a client’s home, I follow their specific instructions for feeding, fresh water, medications, litter box cleaning, walks, and playtime. I take the time to get to know each pet’s personality and respect their individual needs and boundaries. I also make sure to keep owners updated with messages and photos so they can have peace of mind while they’re away. My goal is to make every pet feel comfortable, loved, and well cared for in their own home.

About: I’ve been around animals my entire life and grew up in a household with five dogs and three cats, so caring for pets has always been a part of my daily routine. Over the years, I’ve become the go-to person for friends and family whenever they need someone reliable to watch their pets while they’re away. I genuinely enjoy spending time with animals, whether that’s taking dogs on walks, playing with them, or giving cats the attention and affection they deserve. I understand that every pet has their own personality and needs, and I strive to make them feel comfortable, safe, and loved while their owners are away. My goal is to treat every pet as if they were my own. I currently serve in the military, which has helped me develop strong responsibility, reliability, and attention to detail. While I work during the day, I have the flexibility to stop by during lunch breaks and am available before and after work for visits, walks, feedings, and quality time with your pets. My schedule is generally very open outside of work hours, and I do my best to accommodate each pet owner’s needs. You can count on me to be dependable, communicative, and committed to making sure your pets are well cared for while you’re away Whether I’m caring for pets in my home or in a client’s home, my goal is always to make them feel comfortable, safe, and loved. I enjoy taking dogs on walks, playing with them, and making sure they get plenty of attention and exercise. My apartment complex has plenty of walking areas and open space, making it a great environment for dogs who enjoy getting outside and exploring. When caring for pets in a client’s home, I do my best to stick to their normal routine so they feel relaxed and secure while their owner is away. Every pet is different, and I’m happy to adapt to their individual needs, energy levels, and personalities.
About: I've cared for dogs and cats for over five years, including puppies and pets that need medications. I've worked with all breeds and sizes, and pet parents always compliment me on my reliability, cleanliness, and calm presence. I genuinely love caring for animals and making sure they feel safe, happy, and loved while you're away. Because I work online, I'm available every day and can easily adjust my schedule around your pet's needs. I offer overnights, last-minute bookings, and flexible weekend availability. Whether your pet needs frequent walks, playtime, or a consistent routine, I'm able to provide plenty of attention throughout the day. I live in a house with a fully fenced yard and share my home with three energetic dogs and three friendly cats. I can crate your pet if needed and always supervise outdoor time for visiting pets. I use secure leashes and harnesses for walks and closely follow each owner's feeding, medication, and routine instructions to ensure your pet feels safe and comfortable.
About: I LOVE animals, especially dogs. No hesitation would I do anything for their care AND loving. Unlimited belly rubs, pets, and social interactions! I also prioritize safety! I am mainly home. I can make flexible schedules. Pets are family & that is always everything dear to me. If there’s a will, there’s a way. They’re able to roam freely. People in the house to give unlimited love at all times. Yay! I fufill any needs and wants you may have!
About: I've been taking care of animals since i was a child. As a professional, I have over eight years of animal boarding and dog training experience. I have experience in animal bathing, and administering medications for both cats and dogs. I love working with young animals, but i adore senior pets the most. I would love to take care of your baby! If you are interested in dog training just let me know. I'm experienced in balanced-dog training and have trained over a hundred dogs through housecalls and group classes. For a typical day, it's potty breaks and breakfast first thing in the morning. If I don't have any housecalls, I'll be home with your pet. Your pet will get potty breaks every 1.5 hours on minimum until their last potty break at 8 p.m. Your pet will get 2 walks a day either around your neighborhood or at a dog park. If I do have housecalls to attend to, my work day will cut short so your pet won't be alone for too long. If I'm doing a dog training housecall, the lesson is typically one hour. We will go over one or two commands at a time and we will train the dog until i feel that the client and dog have a good understanding of what's going on. I can usually cover over basic obedience in eight lessons. I try to schedule these lessons once every week, but its all based on the clients schedule. I never let your out of my sight while their are in my care. The only times I would ever leave pet would be to go to housecalls or gather supplies. I will take your pet on walks, training practice and provide them with a bath if you ask me or if they get too dirty while in my care.
About: My mother used to bred dogs & have multiple horses and goats. I was always involved in the animal care & never skipped a chance to get some snuggles! I currently have a pittie whom has been with me for the past 8 years. I work remotely, so I will have plenty of time to take care of your fur babies! My work schedule is super flexible, so I’m available at call! I have a large yard that my friendly pittie loves to get her zoomies out in! I also have a kennel if needed/preferred for your baby!

Elizabeth was great with my pup Ira and working with our schedules to make sure Ira was well cared for and got all the attention and care she needed. She was great with communication/pictures/updates and left the house as it was prior to her sta. I really appreciated her attention to detail and care for Ira and recommend without reservation!

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 White Plains 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 White Plains 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 White Plains 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.
