“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!”
“This is our second time using Adam. My dogs were very excited to see him return. I have 2 very high drive, competition dogs who need a lot of stimulation and exercise. They also have special diets. Adam had everything under control. House was spotless when we returned. Highly recommend Dawn/Adam.”
“Jorge is the best! My girls were so well behaved on our first walk when returning home! He is like a Dog whisperer! I can tell he took great care of them and we will definitely use him 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.”
About: I’m a college student with 4 years experience who loves dogs, enjoys spending time playing with them, and really likes meeting and caring for new dogs whenever I get the chance. I have experience caring for dogs and puppies through helping family members with their pets, including feeding, walking, playtime, and providing loving, reliable care to keep pets safe, happy, comfortable, and well cared for.” I follow a daily schedule to care for my cats, including feeding them in the morning and evening, cleaning litter boxes regularly, providing fresh water, and spending time playing and bonding with them throughout the day. I provide a safe, trustworthy, and comfortable environment for pets by following their routine closely, ensuring their space is clean and secure, giving them fresh food and water, and offering gentle, attentive care and companionship.
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've spent the past two years in the dog care industry, working for an all-natural dog food company where I learned firsthand how nutrition, routine, and attentive care shape a dog's health and happiness. That experience taught me to pay close attention to the small things — appetite changes, energy levels, individual quirks — that make every dog unique. Dogs have always been a huge part of my life, and my own Yorkie is my best friend. Caring for her has taught me just how much patient, loving, attentive care matters, and it's exactly what I want to bring to every dog I look after. I offer dog walking, drop-in visits, house sitting, and boarding, and I treat every dog in my care the way I'd want mine treated: with patience, consistency, and a lot of affection. Whether it's a quick walk, a weekend of boarding, or holding down the fort while you're away, I'll send photos and updates so you always know your pup is safe, comfortable, and loved. I am self-employed annd work from home so my schedule is very flexible. I take my dog on a long walk in Van Cortlandt in the morning and then usually do two more shorter walks throughout the day. I am happy to try to accommodate your schedule the best I can. I live in a pet friendly apartment in Riverdale that is right next to multiple parks. If I ever have to leave a dog in home by themselves I will always make sure calming music is playing, the place is at a comfortable temperature, and there is light.
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.
“Lesly stayed at our house with Archie (our very anxious mutt) and was so great! Gave us incredible updates & photos/videos everyday, and took great care of Archie. She left the house clean and tidy, and even left us some (human) treats! We will definitely have her back again!”
“Megan was great with Louie! She was punctual, followed his schedule, sent a photo update, and played with him regularly. I came home to a very happy puppy. I will definitely be booking with her again.”
“Kamryn did an amazing job with our dog. She sent several pictures and videos while she was with him, and took excellent care of him. She even video chatted with us before the visit to get to know our dog. Highly recommend Kamryn!”
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.
“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.”
About: I grew up with cats and they felt like sisters to me. I enjoy spending time with animals as they are very healing to me. I have a very flexible and open schedule at the moment for your pet sitting needs. I look forward to meeting your furry children :) I follow the instructions and notes given by clients or friends very carefully. I understand the boundaries the animal sets and I let it come to me when it’s ready.
“Stephen was able to fill in for a dog sit at our house recently where a nonRover sitter failed to show. Thank you Stephen! We returned to find a happy, relaxed pup! So grateful for the good service and accommodation on short notice.”
“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!”

Dog births, as well as puppy care, Your pets happiness and safety, are my top priorities. I’m currently working a part time schedule.

I don’t own any pets at this time, and I do not have any small children in the house. All my attention will be on the pet that’s in my care whether care is taking place at my home or clients home.
“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!❣️🥰”
“I could not be happier with Sara! This was my first time having a non-family member watch my dog while I was out of town and I was so nervous about it. I looked at a lot of options before deciding on Sara and am so glad I did - Sara stayed at my place and with Sasha for two weeks. She took such wonderful careful of Sasha and sent me multiple pictures and updates every day. Sasha clearly loved her and Sara treated her like her own, making me feel so at ease and letting me enjoy my vacation without worrying about her. On top of that, she left my apartment just as clean as I left it. I will definitely be using Sara in the future and am so relieved to have found someone I can trust! Could not recommend Sara more.”

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.

- 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.
