“Jorge was great during a recent 6-night stay with our two dogs! He was very responsive and shared helpful photos and updates throughout the visit. Our dogs loved him and we look forward to working with him again soon.”
About: With over 20 years of experience, I’ve had the joy of caring for dogs like they’re family—whether in my home or yours. From cozy long-term boarding to reliable weekly daycare, I offer friendly, professional care tailored to your dog’s needs. Whether your pup loves cuddles, playtime, or just a calm, trusted presence, I provide a safe and loving environment where tails wag and hearts are happy. As a full-time flight attendant, I have a flexible and adaptable schedule that allows me to provide consistent, quality pet care. I share my home with Theo, my small, friendly miniature Goldendoodle, who loves meeting new furry friends and adds a playful, social energy to our routine. Caring for dogs fits naturally into my lifestyle—it’s something I truly enjoy and prioritize. In my home, pets are treated like part of the family. I live in a secured-access, pet-friendly building with a 24-hour front desk, providing both comfort and peace of mind. Whether it’s playtime, walks, meals, or cuddles, I follow each pet’s specific routine to make sure they feel safe, loved, and right at home. I keep a clean, calm environment and provide regular updates to ensure owners feel just as at ease as their pets. When caring for pets in a client’s home, I respect their space and routines—maintaining consistency in feeding, exercise, and any special instructions provided. I always aim to leave the home just as I found it, with a happy pet waiting at the door.
“Kamryn was wonderful! She came over before the stay to meet our pups. She arrived on time for an early start at 7am and stayed the night. We got many pictures and videos throughout her stay so we knew that the dogs were going to the bathroom, eating, cuddling, and sleeping. Thank you, Kamryn!”
“Yazmine was the absolute best!! She took care of my puppy, who is cute but also a puppy. She kept me abreast of what was happening, helped come up with a strategy to help him sleep in his crate, and played with him endlessly. I could not have asked for a better partner. Thank you!”
“Theo did an excellent job taking care of our cats. We booked him to house sit our two cats while we were away for nine days. He followed all of our instructions, and we came home to happy cats. He has a deep understanding of cat psychology, and he spent a ton of time interacting with our cats. We really appreciate him going above and beyond and will be booking him again!”
About: Hi there! I’m Grace, and I’m a lifelong animal lover with a genuine passion for caring for dogs and cats. 🐾💗 I have a background in pet care through helping family friends with their dog and cat boarding business, where I gained hands-on experience caring for pets with all different personalities, ages, sizes, and energy levels. I’ve always loved being around animals, and caring for them is something that comes naturally to me. I recently moved into a beautiful luxury apartment where I run my digital marketing company from home, which gives me the flexibility to be fully available 7 days a week. Because I work from home, I’m able to spend a lot of time with your pet throughout the day rather than leaving them alone for long periods of time. Your pet will receive plenty of attention, affection, playtime, potty breaks, walks, and cuddles depending on what they’re used to at home. I’m also happy to follow your pet’s normal routine, including feeding schedules, medications, crate routines, and any special instructions you provide. I absolutely LOVE both dogs and cats and believe every pet deserves to feel safe, comfortable, and loved while their family is away. Whether your dog is energetic and loves to play, your senior pup prefers relaxing on the couch, or your cat needs a little time to warm up, I’m patient and happy to give them the individualized care they need. I also know how reassuring it is as a pet parent to know your furry baby is doing well, so I’ll keep you updated with photos and messages throughout their stay. 📸🐶🐱 My goal is simple: to make your pet feel like they’re on their own little vacation while you’re away. I’ll treat them with the same love, patience, and care I would want for my own pets. I’d love the opportunity to meet you and your furry family member! 💕🐾 I work from home full-time running my digital marketing company, so I’m home a lot and have a very flexible schedule. Your dog will have constant companionship, attention, and care throughout the day rather than being left alone for long periods of time. I’m able to take them out for regular walks and potty breaks, give them plenty of playtime and cuddles, and keep them on their normal routine. I love having a furry companion around while I work, and I’m always happy to take a break from my computer for some playtime, a walk, or just some extra attention! Your dog’s comfort, happiness, and routine are my top priorities, and I’ll make sure they feel safe, loved, and right at home while they’re with me. 🐶💕 Your pet’s safety, comfort, and well-being are my top priorities. I understand how much trust it takes to leave your fur baby in someone else’s care, and I never take that responsibility lightly. I want every dog and cat staying with me to feel safe, comfortable, and loved from the moment they arrive. I take the time to learn your pet’s routine, personality, and individual needs so I can provide care that feels familiar and stress-free. I’m attentive, responsible, and always keep a close eye on the pets in my care. I’ll also keep you updated with photos and messages so you can have peace of mind knowing your fur baby is happy, safe, and being well cared for while you’re away. 🐾💕
About: I have hands on experience caring for dogs and understand the responsibility that comes with taking care of someone’s beloved pet. I’m experienced with following their regular feeding routines, providing fresh water, taking dogs on walks, giving them bathroom breaks, playing with them, and making sure they have a safe and comfortable environment. I’ve cared for dogs with different personalities and energy levels, and I take the time to learn their individual routines and needs. I’m also attentive to their behavior and make sure they receive plenty of exercise, companionship, affection, and supervision throughout the day. I take pride in being dependable and treating every dog in my care with patience, respect, and the same level of love and attention I would want someone to give my own pets. I’m available for boarding on weekends and on weekdays after 5 PM. If that works with your schedule, I’d be happy to care for your furry family members and make sure they feel comfortable, loved, and right at home while you’re away. I have a fully fenced backyard with plenty of space for your pet to play, relax, and enjoy some fresh air. I also live near a local park, making it easy to take your furry friend on enjoyable walks and give them the exercise and attention they deserve. I want every pet in my care to feel comfortable, happy, and right at home.

“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!”
About: I worked in a Doggy Daycare/Sitting Business called Bark & Purr, so I already have experience taking care and training many different dogs and cats. I am currently doing a side hustle job in landscaping! But the hours are very flexible, so I am free nonstop, especially during the afternoon - evenings. I have two huge parks and a fenced dog park to bring your fur baby to! The apartment is very spacious and dog friendly so you don't have to worry about your dog feeling stressed and claustrophobic.
“Alexis took care of my Bernadoodle in August while I was on vacation and I was very happy with his care. He is polite and reliable and he sent photo updates every day. I recommend him to take care of your pet and would rebook him again.”
“Dariani watched my dog for the first time, and everything went great! He had so much fun playing with her dogs, and she kept me updated by sending photos throughout the day. I felt very comfortable knowing he was in good hands. I would definitely recommend her!❣️🥰”
“Antonio was a wonderful babysitter for my two puppies. One of my dogs has severe separation anxiety, and Antonio was incredibly attentive and patient with him. He kept me consistently updated throughout the day, was very communicative, and shared plenty of pictures, which gave me great peace of mind. At the end of the visit, he even offered helpful tips that I truly appreciated as a first-time dog owner. I would absolutely recommend him.”
“I had an excellent experience with Anna. She took wonderful care of my dog while I was away and made sure my apartment was spotless when I returned. My pup was happy, relaxed, and clearly well-loved during her stay. Communication was great—she sent regular updates and photos, which gave me real peace of mind. I highly recommend her to anyone looking for a trustworthy, responsible, and genuinely caring sitter. I’ll definitely be booking with her again!”
“Lili was awesome to work with and was an excellent sitter for our pup over 9 days! This was our first time using a sitter for an extended time so I had a bit of nervousness, but he was in the best hands! She was very responsive and provided regular updates, was timely, took great care of him with walks, dropping/picking up at daycare to maintain his regular schedule, cuddles, playtime and he even visited her home as well. And bonus, our apt was spotless upon return. Would absolutely hire Lili again and I know our pup will miss her.”

“Nathalia was great! We came home and our babies were safe and excited to see us. She sent photos every day and was in contact with us. She took very good care of our home and our animals. She brought in the mail, took out the trash and cleaned the house before she left. I highly recommend Nathalia and will be using her again!”
“Our cat is diabetic, and needs two shots of insulin per day. Latasha did a wonderful job at giving him the shot, and spending time with him to make sure he got some play and people time in while we were away. He looked great when we got back, and we're so grateful we found Latasha! Maxwell says thank you for the wonderful care – so do we!”
About: I am a professional dogwalker and have had several four-legged friends in the past 5 years so I am very capable in a pinch to pamper and play with your pets, including dogs, cats and others. I know how difficult it can be to have someone to depend on when things pop up, so I hope I can be here for you. As a grad student, my availability is flexible, great news for pets who prefer not to be alone all day. Currently available for walks, drop-ins & overnight sits; not available to board. With proper notice, I'm happy to set up a meet and greet before care so I can understand navigating your space and your pet's needs, especially before longer care services. Very open to virtually meeting.

Pet parents share their Rover experiences - Yonkers
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!
Dariani watched my dog for the first time, and everything went great! He had so much fun playing with her dogs, and she kept me updated by sending photos throughout the day. I felt very comfortable knowing he was in good hands. I would definitely recommend her!❣️🥰
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.
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 for House Sitting in Yonkers on Rover is $49.95 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 18,997 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 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 Yonkers. 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.
