About: I’ve always been a huge animal lover. I had dogs throughout my life, including my soul dog, Hazel, who will always have a special place in my heart. Having been a dog owner myself, I know how important it is to have someone you can genuinely trust to care for your pets. I have experience caring for dogs and truly enjoy being around animals. I’m also a proud turtle mom to River! Having different pets has taught me that every animal has its own personality and needs, and I love getting to know what makes each one special. A little fun fact about me! The sweet senior dog in my profile photo is actually a Sato rescue from Puerto Rico. I had the opportunity to be a Flight Angel and help transport her from Puerto Rico to NYC so she could start her new life! It was such a special experience, and I’m so happy I got to be a small part of her journey. Something else about me is that I’d love to foster animals someday! I’ve always had a soft spot for rescue animals, and I hope to be able to help more of them find their forever homes in the future. I’m a responsible, trustworthy, and caring person who genuinely enjoys spending time with animals. Whether it’s walks, playtime, feeding, or just keeping your pet company, I’ll always make sure they feel safe, comfortable, and loved. I know our pets are family, and I would treat yours with the same love and care I’d want for my own! I want you to feel completely at ease knowing your pet is in good hands while you’re away! Pet care is something I genuinely enjoy and would love to make a regular part of my routine! I currently work during the week, but I have flexibility in my schedule and am happy to coordinate walks and drop-in visits around my availability. I’m also available on weekends! I love spending time with animals, so getting to incorporate that into my week is something I really look forward to. I know how important it is to feel comfortable leaving your pet in someone else’s care, and that’s something I take seriously! I always do my best to make sure pets feel safe, happy, and comfortable while their owners are away. I understand that every pet has its own personality and routine, so I make sure to follow any instructions you leave, whether that’s feeding schedules, walks, medications, or just their favorite way to play! I’m also very respectful of people’s homes and will always make sure everything is left just as I found it. I’m happy to send pictures and updates during visits so you can have peace of mind knowing your pet is doing well and getting plenty of love and attention!

About: My dog Luca is my pride and joy. I love caring for pets as they are my own. I am in tune with dog behaviors and actions and am open to learning the ins and outs of your pet’s favorite and not favorite things to help them have the best day even if you are away! I work as a nurse (for humans) 4 days a week and can take care of your pet in the wee (no pun intended) hours of the morning and even late at night. I also have weekends off and would love to spend them with your pet in an effort to keep up with their routine or have them have an extra special “treat” weekend filled with fun adventures! I live in an apartment complex with two dog parks and plenty of space for long walks. I can also take your pet to their favorite places and play and chill with your pet - whatever they choose to do whether they are high energy or couch potatoes - I match their energy!

About: I’ve been caring for dogs since I was 12, and over the years, taking care of animals has become something I genuinely love. My family and friends have always trusted me to care for their pups while they travel, and I treat every dog like they’re family. Whether it’s going on a long walk, playing a good game of fetch, or simply spending time with them, I love getting to know each dog’s personality and making sure they feel safe, happy, and cared for. I know how hard it can be to leave your fur baby at home while you’re at work, so my goal is to give you peace of mind while you’re gone—with plenty of love, playtime, and updates along the way. 🐶💗 Your pup won’t just be “staying” with me—they’ll be getting a little vacation of their own! 🐾 I work fully remotely, which gives me a flexible schedule and the ability to offer dog walks throughout the day, as well as on weekends. I love having the opportunity to step away from my workday, get some fresh air, and spend time with a furry friend! I’m able to be flexible with walk times and can work with your schedule and your pup’s routine. I’ll always treat your pup with the same care and attention I would give my own. During walks, I focus on making sure they get plenty of exercise, fresh air, and attention while keeping them safe and comfortable. I’m happy to follow your instructions regarding their routine, walking preferences, leash habits, and any other needs. My goal is for your dog to have a fun, safe, and stress-free experience—and for you to feel completely comfortable knowing they’re in good hands! 🐾💕

“I wish I could give Iris more than 5 stars because she was that great. My dogs are not the easiest to take care of and are definitely weary of strangers. Iris took the time to get to know them and make sure they were very comfortable while my family went away on vacation. Iris sent many updates to let us know the dogs were ok which we really appreciated! Not only did Iris take care of the dogs but also our lizard, fish and even watered our gardens. I was able to relax and enjoy our trip knowing that we had such a reliable and trustworthy sitter taking care of our fur babies and home! Thank you so much Iris.. we will be booking you again!”

About: Hi! I’m a caring, reliable, and animal-loving pet sitter with hands-on experience in veterinary and animal care settings. As a pre-vet student, I’ve developed strong skills in animal handling, observation, and compassionate care through clinical and research environments. I worked as a veterinary assistant at Cornell University Specialists, where I gained experience working alongside veterinary professionals and strengthened my understanding of animal health, behavior, and safety. I also have a 11-year-old cockatiel and two cats of my own, so I truly understand the daily care, attention, and trust it takes to look after someone’s pets. I prioritize patience, attentiveness, and routine, making sure every pet feels safe, loved, and comfortable while you’re away. Whether it’s walks, playtime, cuddles, or special care needs, I treat every animal like my own! I am also BLS and ALS CPR certified I am flexible and available throughout the week for dog sitting and house sitting. I am happy to help with daily visits, walks, feeding, and check-ins. I do not offer overnight stays, but I am reliable and willing to help wherever needed during the day. I provide attentive in-home pet care focused on safety, comfort, and routine consistency. I make sure pets are always in a secure environment—checking doors, gates, food access, and removing any hazards. I closely follow owner instructions for feeding, medications, and behavior routines to keep pets stable and stress-free in their home setting. With my basic medical knowledge from animal care experience, I am comfortable recognizing early signs of illness or distress (such as changes in appetite, vomiting, coughing, or lethargy) and responding appropriately by notifying the owner promptly and seeking guidance when needed. My goal is to ensure pets feel safe, cared for, and as close to their normal routine as possible while their owners are away

About: With childhood companions including a cocker spaniel, a cat, and a bird, plus later caring for a French Bulldog, I specialize in compassionate pet care. Balancing part-time commitments allows me to stay flexible for boarding services, ensuring I can adjust my schedule to prioritize your pet's well-being and give them the care and attention they truly deserve. When I'm looking after your pets in your home, my main goal is to make sure they feel comfortable and happy. That means sticking to their feeding routines, ensuring they get plenty of play and exercise, and keeping everything tidy. I'll treat your furry friends like they're my own!

About: I grew up in a big family with lots of pets including dogs, cats, rodents, and birds. I have been successful in self-taught basic training of dogs. I am a graduate student who plans to have pet care be a source of income that fits around my schedule. I have classes during the week and currently live on campus which is why I cannot provide care in my home. I have owned many pets in my life and have cared for different ages from puppies and kittens to seniors. I enjoy promoting enrichment activities and physical exercise.

About: Love dogs all kind. First I pet seat my friend’s dogs when they were away. Then I got my own dog. Alaska is a 34 lbs pomsky. She is very playful and would like a company. I can take your dog to a dog park or the dog beach. Both of those amenities are next to my house. Moreover I have small fenced yard for playing with bunch of balls.I work from home , so have a lot free time to pet sit fur babies and take them for plenty of walks. If you are away for a short trip, book your pet a bed and breakfast inn in my house. I will take care of your furry friend either at my house or yours. Currently work from home. Very flexible. However prefer drop offs and pick ups in mornings. If pick up after 3 pm addition charge may apply I have fenced yard where. I can let dogs out for quick pee and play if needed. However I take them on walks at least 2 times a day. If good weather, I may take them to the dog park or rye beach

About: I’ve been caring for dogs for 6 years and have lots of experience with smaller breeds, especially female dogs. I’m patient, loving, and comfortable with all different personalities, from shy and nervous pups to more energetic or aggressive dogs. I make sure every dog feels safe, comfortable, and gets plenty of attention, walks, playtime, and love while they’re with me. I currently work part-time, so I have plenty of flexibility for walks, drop-ins, and pet care throughout the week. For boarding and overnight stays, I’m available Thursday through Sunday and can give your pet lots of attention and care while they’re with me I live in a loving family home in the suburbs of Yonkers with my parents and brother, so there’s usually someone around to give your pet some extra love and attention. We have a fenced-in yard with plenty of room to play, and I can easily crate your dog if needed. There are also several nice parks and walking areas nearby, so they’ll have plenty of opportunities to get outside and explore. I keep treats and pet essentials on hand, and we’re close to veterinary care if anything unexpected ever comes up. My miniature Dachshund is very friendly with other animals, especially cats, and I always do my best to make every pet feel safe, comfortable, and at home

About: I’ve loved and cared for animals my whole life. Friends, family, and peers trust me to take care of their pets while they’re away. I made sure that they returned home better than ever like they went on a vacation too! I have experience with high-energy pups to senior dogs and can adapt to their personality and pace. I enjoy caring for animals from walking, playing, administering medication, grooming, and providing a calm space. What find most important is being patient and attentive to what your pet specifically needs. My top priority is always keeping pets happy and healthy. I’m currently on a break from school and not working on anything else. My dog, cat, and turtle keep me company in the house. I enjoy daily walks, visiting the park, and sunset outings. I also like volunteering when I have the time. Rain or shine I’m available to go on walks, have playtime, visit parks, or give cozy cuddles. I’d be happy to take dogs out to walk wherever they’re most comfortable. I can also assist with grooming, clean up, take in mail, water plants, or any other tasks. I’m currently not taking pets into my home but I am willing to travel.

About: My family is proud to have adopted several dogs from local shelters and make them a part of our family. When our Ziggy (Golden Retriever) passed away in 2017 after 9 years, we picked up Loki (a black lab mix) and he's bringing us joy on a daily basis. Since I moved away to start medical school, I have been looking for ways to connect with animals, and this has included going to visit friends with dogs and cats, and is also the reason I've signed up with Rover! I look forward to meeting your lovely pets, and to working with you! The best options for me will be dog-walking or house-sitting considering my school schedule, but mornings/evenings would probably work best for me. However, I don't have a set schedule, so there is possible availability at any time during the day, depending on what mandatory events I need to attend. I am unable to care for pets in my home but I am happy to house-sit. I can ensure that your pet is getting the proper amount of water, food, exercise, rest, and attention for the entire time I am booked.

We booked Jalyne last minute for a 5 day long trip to take care of our older dog with Cushings disease. I was a little nervous but after our initial meet and greet I knew Jalyne was caring, trustworthy and responsible. We asked for A LOT of check ins and she made every single one of them count. She was compassionate to our girl and we’d one hundred percent hire Jalyne again.

I’ve only had one experience with Janelle so far but I know/hope there will be more. I reached out very last minute (two days before needing help) and she responded right away, was able to make a FaceTime meet & greet and my puppy loved her. She was lovely to work with and I felt like my little 3 month old guy was in great loving hands.

Cynthia is the best pet sitter I’ve ever had. She is incredibly reliable, caring, and communicative throughout the entire stay. She truly went above and beyond for my dog Albert. Albert is on five different medications, and Cynthia handled his medication schedule perfectly. During a weekend heat wave, she even came back to turn on the A/C to make sure my pets stayed comfortable. Albert was so happy and relaxed when I got home, which gave me complete peace of mind. I would absolutely book with Cynthia again and highly recommend her to anyone looking for a trustworthy, attentive, and compassionate pet sitter.

FAQs for Dog Sitting - White Plains

Frequently asked questions about Rover

The average cost of Dog Sitting in White Plains is $28 per visit as of November 2026. Most bookings cost between $17 and $36 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 25,122 sitters on Rover offering Dog Sitting across White Plains. 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.

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!

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.

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.

While Rover doesn’t offer traditional subscription services, some sitters offer recurring bookings for services like home visits and dog walking. Recurring services come with their own perks, such as flexibility to modify services (up to five weeks in advance), automatic billing, Rover Card updates, and same-day cancellations.

To find sitters in White Plains with recurring or weekly availability, select "Repeat Weekly" and which days you’d like them to care for your pet.

Yes, you can find sitters who have experience with handling special pet needs in White Plains. On Rover:

  • 83% of sitters can help with special care needs
  • 88% can help with giving oral medications or injections
  • 94% 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.

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.
