“Melanie did a wonderful job caring for our dog, Mollie, while we were away. She was attentive, caring, and kept us updated, giving us peace of mind knowing Mollie was in great hands. It was clear that she genuinely cared for our dog and went above and beyond to make sure she was happy and comfortable. As an added bonus, she left our home clean and tidy when we returned. We were extremely pleased with her care and will absolutely use Melanie again in the future. We highly recommend her to anyone looking for a trustworthy and compassionate pet sitter!”
About: I have been on Rover for over a year now and have fallen in love with pet sitting! I have several repeat clients who I love. I have always had dogs in my house and I am currently raising my puppy Roy! I feel as though pets have more feelings than humans so I make sure to give them special attention! I am a full time student at Clemson University and work a part time job so when i’m away from those i always make sure to spend time playing with my dog and taking care of him. I love to be around and let him hangout with me anytime I can since he’s so sweet and funny! I typically find myself watching a few pets every month! I typically work a few days out of the week and 4-6 hour shifts! These 4-6 hour shifts are either 10am-3pm or 3pm-9pm! I always give pets as much attention as they will let me. I feel as though feedings schedules and daily walks and attention are necessary for animals. I also like to make sure they have clean food and water and plenty of it! I also make sure to pay special attention to their body language and can change my routines or anything they may need to make them more comfortable.
About: I’ve taken care of my family and friends puppies often, whether they’re big or small. I can administer any medications, give extra snuggles, really anything needed! I’m currently a college student at Greenville Technical College. Monday-Thursday I have one class each day til 11am, otherwise I’m completely free to take care or your pets! I care for pets in clients' homes by following their routines, providing playtime, walks, and all the love they need. I ensure they feel safe, comfortable, and stress-free while sticking to their usual habits.
“First time to use a sitter in our home for our young pup. She made the situation easy. We could tell from her pictures that he settled in just fine with her and probably wasn’t missing us at all. She was very punctual, left the house clean, had good communication with us and even brought in a heavy delivery from our porch. When we get the opportunity to travel again we will remember Christine.”
About: I am dedicated to providing professional, reliable, and personalized dog-walking services that keep your furry companions happy, active, and well cared for. I understand that dogs are more than pets—they are beloved members of the family who deserve attention, exercise, and love. My goal is to give pet owners peace of mind by providing trustworthy walking services tailored to their dogs’ individual needs. Whether your dog needs a refreshing midday walk or a daily walking i am committed to making every walk a positive experience. i believe every dog deserves a first-class walk! My availability is all day and some evening hours. I'm a stay at home mom looking to make this a full time job while kids are in school. I have a fenced in yard and lots of toys to play with I am home all the time and your pet will have plenty of attention
“Jayda was awesome, we have a dog who stresses out a lot and can’t go anywhere. So it was important to have someone come to the house and stay. We highly recommend her and will use her again.”
“Jadyn was fantastic! She took wonderful care of our pets while we were away, and it was clear from the moment we got home how comfortable and happy they were. She also took great care of our house and even left us kind compliments about our home, which was very sweet. Communication was great throughout, and we came back to a happy household and a well-kept home. We'd absolutely book Jadyn again and highly recommend her to anyone looking for a trustworthy, attentive pet sitter!”
“Wesleigh did a wonderful job watching my dog, Waldo! She stayed at my house while I was away, which made the whole experience much less stressful for both of us. Waldo doesn’t like to be left without me, so I always worry about how he’ll do when I’m gone—but when I got home he was happy, relaxed, and clearly well cared for. I could tell he really enjoyed Wesleigh’s company, which gave me peace of mind and allowed me to enjoy a few carefree days away. It’s obvious she took great care of him and made sure he felt comfortable while I was gone. I would absolutely recommend Wesleigh to anyone looking for a reliable and caring dog sitter, and I’d happily book with her again!”
“Michelle is amazing. She went above and beyond when she stayed at our house and watched the cats. We were able to relax on our vacation because she was so good about communicating and sending pictures of the cats. The house was spotless when we came home and she even watered the grass for us. Will definitely be using again!!!!”
“Super sweet and such a pleasure to work with! She kept me updated on when she was heading over and even arrived 10 minutes early, which I really appreciated. Communication was excellent the entire time, and she sent me a video of my pups while I was away, which gave me so much peace of mind. She was responsible, thoughtful, and even brought her own food (even though I told her to make herself at home). I would absolutely book with her again and highly recommend her to anyone looking for someone reliable and caring. 🐾💛”
“Once again Keri took very good care of our two dogs, two cats, and a bearded dragon!!! She also took care of our home and we will continue to utilize her services for our future pet care/house sitting needs. She is the best!!!”
About: I currently work at a doggy daycare and have been working there for nearly 6 years. I have a certificate in pet first aid and CPR, currently in medical school, and I’m a qualified dog-lover! Even before my employment, I have had years of experience dog-sitting for people in my neighborhood. (Since before I could drive.) But my job has allowed me to learn difficult medication schedules, puppy care, senior dog care, and how to work with dogs as little as yorkies to as large as great danes. If I’m not taking care of dogs at work, then I am at home with my own babies. I have a dog and two cats, and my entire world revolves around them! I work best off of routine, and I will admit that I get a little flabbergasted when I don’t have a good schedule. My dogs are house-trained and fed twice a day during breakfast and dinner. However, when dogsitting I have been given crazy schedules to work with— so don’t feel bad if you think have a lot! My dogs aren’t crates at night and typically prefer to sleep in bed with me, but I understand and value the importance of crating. I don’t mind going on walks, either! My german shepherd goes everywhere with me, so please let me know if your dog enjoys going out. (Downtown, hiking, or just a walk in the park.)
About: I have lived my whole like with dogs and have learned to properly take care of them. I live with my dog and he is a cuddly and friendly dog. He has taught me well on how to give dogs affection and I think that’s my strong suit! My dog now has bad allergies and frequent medical issues, so I’m well versed in specialized care and treatment as well. I understand leaving your pet with someone can be difficult, and I want to make sure you know the love and care I will give to your fur babies! , I take care of my dog (yellow lab) 24/7 by feeding, caring, bathing him, etc. I always am able to get stay on top of his needs and learn his different body cues. My lab also has medical issues, such as yeast and severe allergies which I do give him medication and provide physical relief through prevention and replacing his biting of himself to me petting the area. I also care for my mom’s dog (boxer mix) when they’re busy or at work. He is very energetic so for him I try to keep engaged. I will follow the instructions from the owner first! Before I do anything that I’m not certain of I will communicate before hand. I am good with household tasks such as cleaning!
“Riley was so great as a house/pet sitter. She spoiled our pets and took great care of our home. Our dog loves car rides so she took her on one every day (even got pup cups)! She even washed her sheets on her last day. We already booked her for another trip we have planned. Highly recommend!”
“You know how when you leave your dogs with someone else for the first time, you're never quite sure how it will go? Well, we didn't really feel that way with Lisa. From the first contact to the end of the stay she was friendly and accommodating. She did a great job keeping them in their routine and handling any unforeseen doggie accidents (like throwing up on the kitchen floor!). Our home seemed cleaner than when we left (a miracle) and our Labs were worn out. We could not ask for more. I'd be even more complimentary, but I want to make sure she's available for the next time we need her ;) Seriously, though, Lisa was wonderful!”
“Carissa did a great job house and pet sitting. My dog and cat are very well behaved but also very attached to me and can struggle with anxiety when I’m away. Carissa obviously took great care of them, evidenced with a daily photo/video update while I was away, and they were calm and happy when I arrived home. Would definitely book with Carissa again!”
“We had a wonderful experience with Sarah! She took great care of our Charlie and kept us updated with photos and messages while we were away. It gave us so much peace of mind knowing he was in such loving hands. We would definitely book with her again and highly recommend her to anyone looking for a reliable and caring sitter.”
About: I have been caring for pets since I was 7 years old and begged my parents for my first dog. We love all animals in our family. Walks, feeding, playtime and baths are no problems in our house. I currently working part -time. I live very closes to my job and can leave at any time to check on your pet. If your pet is crate trained feel free to bring their crate and I will make sure to continue with the training. I live in a larger 2 bedroom apartment. There is a dog park if you believe your dog would enjoy that I have no problem taking them. We have walking trails for me to take your dog on walk.

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 , 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 .
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 .
sitters on Rover set their own , 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.
