“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.”
“Grace was an incredible find!! My dog loved her from the moment he met her! I was totally at ease leaving her with him for the weekend. She sent a ton of pictures and was in constant contact with me. My dog looked so happy with her taking care of him. I highly recommend her if you are looking for a caring sitter for your pet!!!!!”
“Jalyne just watched our dog for the second time and continues to be our go-to! She got our anxious gal through a thunderstorm, was so communicative and even washed and folded her sheets. She’s a gem. Thank you Jaylyne!!”
“Catie is a total rockstar! We have three dogs and three cats—a full-blown pet circus—and she handled them all like a pro. Each one has their own little quirks and Catie somehow kept everyone happy, fed, and loved. She sent us the best photo updates (seriously frame-worthy), and we came home to a house that was cleaner than we left it! It’s always tough to travel when you’ve got a small zoo at home, but Catie gave us total peace of mind. If she can handle our crew, she can handle anything. Highly recommend!”
“Kelsey was wonderful with our dogs while we escaped for a weekend away. She kept us appropriately up to date and ensured they got exercise and love. We came home to a clean house and happy, content dogs.”
About: I've had pets my whole life, both dogs and cats of all shapes and sizes. I am especially able to take care of animals with health issues. My current cat, Oliver has 3 legs and my dog, Chewy, has epilepsy. I'm currently a law student, so I have time to pet sit and take your pets for a walk after classes on weekdays and on weekends.

Working in VetMed I have a good idea of standard pet care regardless of size, age, or breed
“Jenna was an amazing sitter for our dog Zeke and our house! We were gone for two weeks and Jenna made sure to keep in touch and send pics throughout that time. Her authentic affection for dogs was so clear from the first meeting. We’d absolutely book Jenna again!!”
About: Ever since I was a child, I have always been a pet sitter. For as long as I can remember, I have walked, dropped in, and boarded pets of neighbor, friend, and family member. I especially love working and specialize with high energy dogs that need their daily zoomies. Additionally, as a former dog owner myself, I am familiar with what’s needed to keep your pup happy!

My availability is as follows: Monday: 4-10pm Tuesday: 2-10pm Wednesday: 7am-1pm. Thursday 11:00am-10pm Friday 1pm-10pm Saturday and Sunday: All Day availability I will be comfortable with whatever tasks you require of me to ensure your pets are well-taken care of; whether it be dropping in just to feed them, playing with them, etc. For walks, I’m comfortable with any level of activity necessary. Whether it’s just around the block or entire neighborhood, I will have no issues keeping up with your pet!
“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!”
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.
“Belkys was amazing! Our first time leaving our elderly dog with a sitter for so long, so we were nervous at first. So glad we chose Belkys- she did such a great job keeping us updating and making sure our pup was well taken care of. Would definitely book again”
“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: I have been care dogs since my 8 years old,I always had dogs and I love to spend my time with them,playing,walking ,I like the connection with the dogs and of course life is so much better with them! Weekly routine I am always free and I like to go walk with the dogs. Weekday usually I am free between 9 am until 1 pm.

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 🙏🏼🙏🏼🙏🏼
About: I have had my own pets since I can remember ranging from cats, dogs, iguanas, hamsters, fish, salamanders, hermit crabs, and even chicks. Growing up, I spent my summers on my grandfather's farm raising cows, horses, pigs, cats, dogs, chickens and a rooster. I don't have and human kids but I have raised many fur babies. I am the go-to person for family and friends, especially for pets with very specific care instructions. I am in NYC; I drive and have a pretty flexible schedule at this time. My career outside of pets includes Human Resources Management and Operation Director at different schools. I am currently working for myself as a treat maker so I am very flexible with time. I also have a clean license and reliable transportation. I am currently in NYC but can travel to Westchester County and northern NJ as well. I love when a client gives me detailed instructions and will follow them to a tee. I am a very organized person with a high attention to detail who often goes above and beyond in everything I do. Because I have worked with children and at schools, I have been fingerprinted by NYS/NYC, Dept of Health and the NYC Dept of Ed.
About: I’ve cared for dogs for family and friends over the years, including walks, feeding, playtime, and keeping pets comfortable while their owners are away. I’m calm, patient, and attentive, and I like sending photo updates so pet parents know their pets are safe and cared for. My schedule is flexible, and I can usually help with drop in visits, walks, and pet care during the week or on weekends. I’m happy to follow your pet’s normal routine for feeding, walks, playtime, and updates. I prefer clear instructions so your pet stays comfortable and on schedule. I always follow the owner’s instructions closely, including feeding, leash rules, medication notes, litter cleanup, and home access details. I keep pets supervised, use secure leashes, and send updates/photos during visits. I do not currently have pets of my own, so I can give each pet my full attention.
About: What sets me apart is that I’ve cared for dogs through every stage of life. I grew up with three dogs starting when I was 12, so I have experience with everything from managing puppy energy to giving older dogs the patience, gentleness, and attention they need. I’ve also helped friends and family with their dogs over the years, whether that meant walks, drop-ins, or caring for them while they were away. This is the first time since childhood that I’m living without dogs, and I’d love the chance to help care for yours like they’re my own. I work full-time during the week, so weekends are the best fit for me right now. That’s when I have the most flexibility and can give dogs more of my time and attention without feeling rushed. I live in a house with a front and backyard, giving dogs plenty of room to relax, play, and get fresh air. There are also several parks nearby, so walks and outdoor time are easy to work into the day. I know every dog is different, so I’ll make sure to follow their normal routine and keep them comfortable, safe, and cared for like they’re my own.
The median cost per night for house sitting in White Plains is $60
Pet parents share their Rover experiences - White Plains
Courtney was wonderful. She came at the last minute (we booked only a day or so before). We have two dogs and a cat and all were well loved and cared for. She provided nice updates throughout the visit and the house was tidy and nice when we got back. We look forward to having her come again!
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!

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.
<b>Tip:</b> 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.
