“This was our first time hiring someone to stay with our pup and Andrea was a godsend! Not only was she amazing with our dog, but she was in constant communication with us while we were away. We felt comfortable having her in our house and know that our dog had the BEST time with her. Any time we travel we are booking Andrea!”
“Kelsey is amazing. She took great care of Raz, sent pictures and added captions. People I see when I walk Raz welcomed me home and said what a nice person Kelsey was and how well she did with Raz. I strongly recommend her!! Kelsey, you are welcome to come back and say "hi" to Raz anytime. She would love it!!”

Thoughtful, sent daily summaries and photos, my reactive dog was so HAPPY!!! I feel truly lucky to have found her. 10/10. She is the best. Will rebook again and again and again as long as she wants to keep watching pups.”
About: Hi! My name is Jenn and I rescued Jasper 3 years ago. We love taking walks at the Kensico Dam, going to the beach and the dog park. I am a reliable dog walker and animal lover with experience caring for happy pups. I treat every dog like my own family. You get safe walks, fun playtime, and great photo updates every single time. I am currently working from home with a flexible schedule, so I have plenty of time to care for your pet! I am available daily for walks and sitting on the weekends. Your pet will get maximum engagement and company during the all services as if they were my own. Caring for pets requires following their specific routines and keeping them safe during walks or daytime sitting. I have a friendly dog to keep your fur baby company and I will provide photos and messages about your pet's service.
“Jacqueline did an excellent job house sitting for us for our dog and cat. She was responsible and communicative throughout the 5-day trip and we felt very relieved that our home and pets were in good hands. We look forward to booking with her again soon!”
“I wanted to send a quick message to let you know how pleased I am with Nicholas. My sitter canceled on me the same day of a major work event, and Nicholas came to the rescue. One he is very polite and professional. He really showed great concern and care for my Furson and was very descriptive in his messages and sent photos to update me. By far, he has been the best pet sitter I’ve had. I would really keep using him from here on out as Diego’s sitter. My dog really liked him and he just took such good care of him. It was a great experience and I know that with Nicholas my dog is in excellent hands. I am truly a satisfied and happy client! ~ Aramis”
About: Ive owned Dogs for most of my life, im a owner of rescued pets, including two cats and a African grey. I've discovered my love for animals but especially Dogs during a tough time in my life where the love, compassion, and loyalty of a dog filled up a big part of my heart that ever since that day I knew what it was to value and love your dog. I'm a very down to earth person I strongly believe a dog especially can tell and will show signs of either comfort, or discomfort so I look forward to meeting new dogs and awesome pet owners. Feel free to reach out with questions if needed I'm here to help thank you. LOVE & PEACE 🙏🏼🙏🏼🙏🏼
“My pup Bamba told me that Kelly was a great host! She was super responsive and professional. Her home was clean and the property was very pet friendly. She asked all the right questions, and I’d be happy to have her host Bamba again!”
“Heather was absolutely AMAZING. From our initial meet and greet I knew she was such a kind soul who my dog, Fred gravitated towards. She was so kind and so responsible it really put me at ease knowing my dog was being well looked after. She was extremely accommodating by turning up at my apt at 630am the day I left early and even took my pup on a walk before i landed back on a red eye flight! I would HIGHLY recommend Heather. She kept me updated with pics of my dog throughout my week away, stayed at my apartment and looked after it so well. You could not find a better dog sitter! BOOK HEATHER NOW!!”
“Joyce accepted my last minute request for house sitting on New Years, and she was great with the pets and followed all instructions thoroughly. We would love to have her again!”
About: Cat sitting since 12 years old and dog sitting since 18, I've watched numerous pets of all different sizes including exotic pets such as geckos, bearded dragons, fish tanks, chickens, and birds. I've recently worked at a German Shepard breeder with 7 sweet dogs, taking care of them all simultaneously. I walk dogs, sit for all pets, clean cages and bowls, and even wash dogies as well as their beds and toys if necessary. I love animals and they truly love me. I will always treat your fur baby as my fur baby. I'm freelancing at the moment so I can be at your pet's service. I feel most wholesome around animals so be certain I will make all the time needed to care for them. I typically stay at the client's house, make sure there's enough water and that food is given accordingly. I will walk the dogs or let the cats out if allowed and monitor them until they are back inside. I check up on all play areas, pet beds, and aquariums to clean any accidents. I want your pet to feel most comfortable and loved in my presence.
“Maggie is amazing! She was wonderful with my dog who was experiencing some behavioral issues. She also kept me updated throughout her stay and left the house very clean! I’ll definitely use her again!”

Of which your pet will always be safe inside and outside . I have 4 kind rescues who loves to play, they are all girlies and are great around new guests
“We were fortunate to have Dana house sit for us on relatively short notice. She watched our 13 year old dog and 2 cats. We received updates and came home to some happy pets and a tidy house.”
About: 🐾 Hi- I'm Stefany 🐾 A little bit about myself. I grew up with dogs my entire life. (Rescues) I've also helped find placement for dogs. I've cared for all sorts of breeds, temperaments, and administered medication through syringes, supplements, and eye drops, and variation of applicators. Over the course of my business I've dealt with a variety of breeds that have needed alot of TLC - dogs with seizures, diabetes, bowel issues, loss of an eye, severe anxiety disorder, dogs that needed alot of nurture and luv. Caring for animals is my passion. I got into this line of work not only because I have a luv for animals, but because my mother is a Travel Agent. One day, her clients' sitter bailed on them right before departing on a back to back cruise for 21 days, and they had no one to watch their dog. Almost canceling their entire trip. When people go on vacation, I stay in their home, I look after everything. It's unique. It's Very one on one and special. I don't take any other job. I've never canceled on a client due to being sick or anything. I take care of your home as well as look after your pup. I'm in my 40's. Very responsible, have a lot of references and all of my clients are repeats I also watch Westminister Championship dogs, Purebred cats,and Exotic animals. I have attended to dogs with special needs and was able to catch a new onset seizure by paying attention to signs and detail- and quickly got the dog immediate and proper care. The sooner you reach out and tell me about your pet's needs, and how long you need me for, the sooner I can fit you into my heavily booked calander. I'd luv nothing more than to make your life easier, while you're away! I Want nothing more than for you to have a "Paw-tastic" experience! :) Side note: Anyone who has a bigger dog, I'm happy to sit,if it's not agressive with a fenced in yard! This is all I do. Animals are my livelihood. Once I'm booked I'm 100% commited to my client needs. You never have to worry about my reliability I care for furbabies in the comfort of their own home when my clients go away on vacation. I not only look after your fury animals- I look after your home abd give reasurance everything is perfect so you're abke to enjoy with a peace of mind
About: I have experience with petsitting very anxious dogs, pets with special needs, and pets who need more attention than most. Just let me know ahead of time if your dog barks at everything so I can be prepared to soothe them. I'm pretty flexible with most pets! I'm available 24/7 in Westchester, NY. I need something to do to keep me busy since I don't have much of a schedule at the moment. Let me know if your pet has any special needs or preferences. Please bring toys or anything else your pet uses daily. I'm pretty flexible and I can sort out the rest of anything.

Pet parents share their Rover experiences - White Plains
Yuri was great. We contacted her for a last minute trip and she stopped by so we could review the different types of food for our three dogs. Although we were uncertain about leaving our dogs at home, we eased our minds with frequent photos and updates. She was very flexible with our requests and there was no delay in any communications that took place. We recommend her without any reservations and we look forward to requesting her assistance in the future. Thank you Yuri.
This is the third time Catie has stayed with our two dogs. As expected, everything went extremely well. She keeps the dogs on their schedule which makes everything run smoothly. The dogs were relaxed and happy when we got home which is all we can ask for. Catie is great!
I’m not kidding, I’m tempted to gatekeep but won’t because Alyssa deserves all the love and dog jobs in the world. Seriously, best dog sitter ever. Thoughtful, sent daily summaries and photos, my reactive dog was so HAPPY!!! I feel truly lucky to have found her. 10/10. She is the best. Will rebook again and again and again as long as she wants to keep watching pups.
Madison took phenomenal care of our cat Romeo when we were out of town. She made us feel at ease that Romeo was well taken care of and receiving great care and plenty of love. She sent lots of pictures and was sure to ask questions whenever needed. We would undoubtably rebook with Madison for our next time out of town!

FAQs for House Sitting - White Plains
Frequently asked questions about Rover
The average cost for House Sitting in White Plains on Rover is $50.29 per night (as of September 2026). However, all sitters set their own rates based on experience, location, and availability.
Rover makes budgeting the cost of House Sitting easy. As long as your dates and pet profiles are correct, the price you see before you book is the same price you pay for House Sitting. For more information on service fees, click here .
As of September 2026, there are 18,424 sitters on Rover offering House Sitting across White Plains. Enter your ZIP code to see which available sitters are closest to your home.
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 short introductory meeting between you, your pet, and a sitter. It can take place in person or virtually, although we recommend in-person so that your pet can get to know your sitter 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. Most pet parents and sitters on Rover welcome Meet & Greets because the process can give confidence and peace of mind for service experiences, especially for longer stays or first-time bookings.
Sitters on Rover set their own cancellation policy, which you can find on their profile under their calendar availability.
Cancelling before a booking begins and before the sitter's cutoff time qualifies you for a full refund. Same-day cancellations for walks, day care, and drop-ins follow the full refund policy. Otherwise, for dog boarding and house sitting, you will receive a 50% refund for the first seven days of the booking and a 100% refund for the remaining days when you cancel the same day a booking should begin.
If your sitter needs to cancel within seven days of the booking's start date, then our reservation protection will kick in. This means our support team works with you to find a replacement sitter.
Yes, you can find sitters who have experience with handling special pet needs in White Plains. On Rover:
- 89% of sitters can help with special care needs
- 93% can help with giving oral medications or injections
- 97% 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.
