About: With a strong background as a Veterinary Assistant and a Pre-Veterinary student, I bring professional, hands-on experience to every pet I care for. I have completed multiple Patterson Veterinary Academy online certificates, including training in safe pet handling, animal body language, sanitation and cleaning protocols, and overall animal care standards. Through my education and clinical experience, I’ve learned how to recognize stress signals, ensure proper handling, and create a calm, safe environment for pets of all temperaments. My approach is rooted in patience, compassion, and safety—treating every pet as if they were my own. I understand that trust is essential when caring for your pet, and my goal is to provide peace of mind to families while giving pets attentive, knowledgeable, and loving care every step of the way. Im currently working part time at the white plains veterinary hospital i am a veterinary assistant therefore my schedule works perfectly for time with your pets When caring for pets in my home or a client’s home, I focus on safety, comfort, and maintaining their normal routine. As a Veterinary Assistant and Pre-Veterinary student, I follow proper handling techniques, closely observe body language, and adjust care based on each pet’s individual needs and temperament. I ensure pets receive consistent feeding, fresh water, regular potty breaks, exercise, and enrichment. I maintain a clean and sanitized environment, follow any medical or behavioral instructions carefully, and monitor pets for signs of stress or health concerns. I treat every home with respect and every pet like family, providing calm, loving, and reliable care while keeping owners informed with updates for peace of mind
“Dawn and her son Adam were professional and fabulous from our very first communication with them about house- and dog-sitting for us. Adam and Finn took to each other immediately, we felt entirely comfortable leaving Finn in Adam’s capable hands, and it was obvious to us upon our return that Adam had taken immaculate care of both Finn and our home for the week we were away. We look forward to having Adam come back to stay with Finn soon. Thank you both so much!”
About: Hey everyone, welcome to Camp Mango! 🥭🐾🌳 As a proud dog mom to my mini goldendoodle, Mango, I bring over four years of hands-on experience caring for dogs and cats. From daily walks, feeding, and playtime to administering medications, I approach every pet with patience, attentiveness, and genuine care ☺️. At Camp Mango, we believe in quality over quantity. We offer a cozy, home-based environment where each guest receives personalized attention, regular photo updates, and plenty of affection 💕. Your pet’s comfort, safety, and happiness are always my top priorities 💌. I’m primarily available on weekends and evenings, with additional weekday availability depending on my work schedule and your pet’s care needs 🗓️. Evening walks or check ins are available as well 🌟. We are based in an open concept studio where pups are allowed on the couch and able to free roam. I close all doors as a safety precaution and stow away any hazardous items. I provide plenty of photos and updates during your pets visit and ensure they are comfortable and happy 🐶💖.

“Cecilia was the best! She showed lots of patience with my dog, Jojo, and she never hesitated to ask questions. I also really appreciate how often Cecilia would communicate via text. Good updates and even better pictures!”
“Darianny was fantastic! She was super responsive, reliable, and took wonderful care of all of our Freddie’s needs. Freddie enjoyed her company, and we felt completely at ease knowing she was in such good hands. Highly recommend!”
About: I have a love for animals and it shows in my level of care. I am a future veterinarian. Growing up my house always resembled a zoo, I’ve had dogs , cats, rabbits , turtles, fish , iguanas , birds, and even a crow. Yes a crow! Lol. I was always that person to bring home animals and take care of them whether I asked my mother if I can have them or not. I’m a caring soul with a caring heart and I hope to see and connect with you and your fur baby soon. A side from being a mother my other full time job would be this. I have a large amount of free time so my schedule is open. As things start to pick up availability is subject to change. I offer a safe and controlled home for your fur baby to relax comfortably. My home is clean and animal friendly. Plently of space for long walks and new scents.
“Latasha was very communicative and polite. She provided updates when she could. She was flexible with our booking. I would highly recommend her to others, and use her services again!”
“Domenica stayed with my dog Kosmos for three nights. I can only recommend her services. She was very responsive, sent me updates, and took great care of him. Kosmos often gets anxious when I’m traveling, which I can see based on how he acts while I’m away and right after I’m back. But this time he was completely relaxed and happy, which is entirely Domenica’s accomplishment.”
About: Dear Pet Parents, I absolutely love animals — especially dogs! From tiny Pomeranians to giant Great Danes, I adore the kisses, cuddles, and happy tail wags. I share my home with several dogs of different breeds and personalities, as well as two cats, so I’m very experienced in managing different temperaments, energy levels, and routines. Because of this, I understand how important structure, supervision, and safety are when caring for pets. As a proud dog owner myself, I truly know that pets are not “just animals” — they are family. I will treat your fur baby like one of my own. Your pet will be loved, spoiled, and cared for in a safe, structured environment. I know how much trust it takes to leave your pet with someone. I promise to earn that trust. I provide regular updates, photos, and open communication so you can feel completely comfortable while you’re away. Please feel free to message me with any specific instructions, routines, or special needs your pup (or kitty!) may have — I’m always happy to accommodate. Looking forward to meeting you and your fur baby! 😊 Pet care is already part of my daily routine since I care for multiple dogs and two cats of my own. My day is structured around feeding schedules, potty breaks, enrichment time, and supervised play. Because of this, adding your pet into my routine is seamless and intentional. I prioritize consistency, supervision, and maintaining your pet’s normal schedule as closely as possible to reduce stress. I’m available for boarding, drop-ins, and walks, and I provide frequent updates so you always feel connected while you’re away. Safety is my top priority. I have experience managing a multi-pet household with different breeds, sizes, and temperaments. Pets are always supervised, especially during introductions and playtime. I can separate animals if needed and am comfortable crating when requested for rest or safety. I follow feeding instructions carefully and keep environments clean and structured. I pay close attention to body language to ensure all pets are comfortable and stress-free. Your pet will be treated like family while in my care.
“I had Arin watch my dog & cats for a few days while I was gone and she was so great! I met up with her prior to leaving and I immediately felt comfortable with her and trusted her to take good care of my pets/ be in the house. She was super sweet and my dog took to her right away. She sent me daily updates and pictures and I felt completely comfortable while I was away. Would definitely rebook :) thank you Arin!”

“I would highly recommend Asel as a pet sitter. She is considerate, responsible, reliable and wonderful with animals. Asel stayed in our home for 11 nights and took care of our dog and cat. Our cat is very easy, but our dog is a fairly new rescue who is a scared dog and often does not want to go outside for walks. Asel was very patient and bonded very quickly with both animals. She sent us pictures and updates every day during our trip. We came home to 2 very happy animals and our home was just as we left it!”
About: With six years of dedicated companionship with my own beloved dog, I've honed my pet care skills to perfection. From daily walks to cozy cuddle sessions, I understand the importance of providing love, attention, and personalized care to furry friends. Whether it's administering medication, following specific dietary needs, or simply offering companionship, I pride myself on creating a safe and nurturing environment where pets thrive. Incorporating pet care into my daily and weekly routine is a top priority for me. Each day begins with a morning walk, ensuring my furry friend gets the exercise they need to start their day right. Throughout the week, I schedule regular feeding times and play sessions to keep them mentally and physically stimulated. I also carve out time for grooming, whether it's brushing their coat or trimming their nails, to ensure their well-being and hygiene. Additionally, I make it a point to dedicate quality time for bonding activities, such as training sessions or simply snuggling on the couch. By seamlessly integrating pet care into my routine, I provide consistent love and attention to my furry companion, enriching both of our lives. Regardless of the setting, I remain attentive to each pet's individual needs, whether it's administering medication, providing grooming services, or simply offering companionship and reassurance. Regular communication with clients ensures that they are kept informed about their pet's well-being and any notable updates during their absence. Ultimately, my goal is to provide loving and responsible care that gives both pets and their owners peace of mind.

I had a pet bunny at home and have had pet dogs in the past! I am very gentle and friendly with cats too. I am very in touch with animals since i love them so much :) I am currently a college freshmen at FIT. dog walking is my main income source so i am free all week! I have no issues commuting across burroughs as well. I cant watch pets in my house, but in a clients house i would be extra careful and sure with the pet no matter the size or energy! I care about the safety of animals dearly. I am willing to tidy and clean up any mess the pet may make.
“Lori was dependable and reliable. She stayed at my house and took great care of our dog Sammy. She is truely an animal lover. She sent photos and texts during her stay updating me on Sammy's care. She left my house immaculate. I would highly recommend her.”
“We are so happy that we found Maggie to stay with our dogs. She was a great house guest, and took such great care of our two dogs, with frequent walks and time outside playing fetch. She was really communicative and proactive, which we also appreciated. Our dogs are excited for her to come back again in the future!”
“Elliyah rose to every challenge my dog presented her and was super communicative along the way. You can tell she loves all animals and is a wonderful, trustworthy person. Thank you Elliyah, so much!”

We cannot say enough good things about Andrea. She is communicative; sending regular updates and photos while she dog sat. Our dog is on quite a few drops for her eyes and Andrea was great at managing her medications. She was respectful and incredibly neat while staying at our home. Andrea is such a wonderful dog sitter- would highly recommend her!
Lesly is the best!!!!! I’m so glad we found her. Our boys are normally very slow to warm up to new people but with Lesly, they were cuddled on the sofa and playing within minutes. She left our home spotless and was so attentive to our boys’ needs. We hope that she’ll be a regular sitter for us!
Farrah exceeds expectations in her responsibility, kindness, consideration and overall attitude. She took wonderful care of our two elderly dogs giving us lots of pictures and updates. We felt completely relaxed and confident that they were getting walks, meals, medication and affection. Thank you Farrah! Jack and Natalie

Frequently asked questions about Rover
The average cost of House Sitting in Yonkers is $50 per night as of October 2026. Most bookings cost between $37 and $100 per night. 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 October 2026, there are 18,912 sitters on Rover offering House Sitting across Yonkers. 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 Yonkers 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 Yonkers 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 Yonkers 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.
