“Martin was amazing with my two dogs. He spent the time to built their trust and love and took them on long and engaging walks which left them exhausted. I 100% recommend him.”
“Talisa provided such wonderful care to our Sully. She came to our house and took him out for potty and playtime several times. Sully loved spending time with her. Thank you, Talisa! 🙏🏽🐶”
“Jean is responsible and communicative, and I would recommend her to any cat owner. She helped us out in a pinch, and was so flexible, it was amazing. Jean is an awesome sitter and you can tell she loves animals and what she does! We felt so safe leaving our cats with her, and will definitely be requesting her services in the future!”
“I reached out just a few days before we needed a drop in and not only did she quickly respond that she was available, she came the same day to meet the boys so that we would be comfortable. She communicated ahead of the visit to check in, sent awesome pictures with the dogs and took care of everything exactly how I specified. Our dogs have to stay separated right now and I was very anxious about that being managed in our tiny home but I did not need to be! We will definitely be hiring her again. Only downside is that she doesn’t do overnights!”
“Joseph always goes above and beyond as a pet sitter. He is an incredibly good communicator and I know that my dog is being well loved and taken care of under Joseph’s care. My dog is very active and still has lots of puppy energy, but Joseph remains patient with him and makes sure that my dog can safely get his energy out.”
About: I've had cats and dogs my whole life and know how to make animals feel comfortable and cared for. I offer dog walking and cat boarding from my home in Yorktown Heights. Guest cats stay in their own private room with fresh food, water, and a clean litter box. For dog walking I keep things low stress, consistent, and fun. I work from home regularly so I'm around often and take every pet's routine seriously. I treat every animal like my own. I work from home frequently which means pets in my care are never left alone for long stretches. For dog walking I'm flexible on timing and can work around your schedule for morning, afternoon, or evening walks. For cat boarding, guest cats get visits multiple times a day including morning feeding, a midday check-in, and an evening wind-down with fresh food, clean water, and a scooped litter box. Weekends I'm generally very available and weekdays I can accommodate most requests with a little advance notice. I genuinely enjoy spending time with and meeting new animals so this isn't a job to me, it's a passion. I have a dog and two cats of my own so I know firsthand what animals need to feel safe and comfortable. Guest cats are kept in their own private, dedicated room completely separate from my resident pets, giving them a quiet space to decompress and settle in at their own pace. For dog walking I keep things calm and consistent, always on leash, through the safe residential streets of Yorktown Heights or local parks where my dog frequents himself. I pay close attention to each animal's personality and adjust my approach accordingly. Whether a pet is social and energetic or shy and cautious, I make sure they feel comfortable and cared for. My home is peaceful, clean, and genuinely pet friendly.
“It was such a relief to be able to go on vacation and know our cats weren't just being fed, but truly taken care of. Stacy was very communicative and we could tell she made good friends with our cats - they still ask when shes coming back. She came over in advance to get a lay of the land and meet them and learn all their hiding spots. She even took the litter when she left so we wouldn't have to deal with it. Stacy really was wonderful and knowing our cats were being loved by someone with such great experience while we were away was such a gift!”
About: I’ve been caring for dogs since childhood, growing up in a dog-loving home with up to four pups at once ranging from 15 to 75 pounds! I’m comfortable with all breeds and sizes, and I have experience with both playful pups and senior dogs. In college, I was part of the 4 Paws club, where I walked and watched service dogs in training, giving me extra skills to handle all types of dogs. I am available over the weekend to focus on the needs of your pet, whether that’s walks, playtime, or just keeping them company. I’m flexible, reliable, and more than happy to build a routine that works best for you and your pet. Whether I’m in your home or mine, I make sure to put your pet’s safety, comfort, and happiness first. I am more than happy to take your pet to local dog parks, if that’s something you’re comfortable with. If you prefer your pet stays in a fenced yard or neighborhood walks, that works too! I will always follow your preferences and your pet’s routine.
“Andrea exudes warmth & love - our dog, Sparky, immediately took to her. She was extremely pleasant to work with - very responsive & communicative. We hands down will book with her again in the future!”
“Jessica is amazing. She is truly very understanding and it’s such a great job with our dog. She sent us pictures of him as she was watching him. She is the best I would highly recommend Jessica.”
About: I know how important it is to find someone you can trust with your pets. My goal is to make sure every pet feels safe, comfortable, and loved while you’re away, and to give you peace of mind knowing they’re in caring hands. I’ve been caring for animals as long as I can remember. I have years of hands on experience caring for dogs, cats, & other animals through both professional pet care and my own family. I’ve worked at a dog daycare & in dog walking, caring for dogs & cats with different personalities, needs, & energy levels. I’ve also cared for family members dogs, cats, & chickens. I’m comfortable caring for pets of all ages, including senior pets & those who need medication. Having a shy, senior cat of my own, I understand how important patience, attentiveness, & a little extra TLC can be. I truly treat every pet as a my own, & love getting to know their unique personalities. Whether your pet is energetic & playful or prefers a little extra patience & quiet companionship, I want them to feel happy, safe, & loved while in my care. I have a pretty flexible schedule that allows me to plan my day around the pets in my care. I’m available for walks & drop in visits throughout the day. I always make sure every pet gets the time, attention, and affection they deserve. I always do my best to accommodate your pet’s routine and make sure they feel happy, comfortable, & cared for! Your pet’s safety, comfort, & happiness are always my top priorities. I treat every pet & home with the same care & respect I would my own. I follow your pet’s usual routine & all instructions you provide, while making sure they receive plenty of love, attention, supervision, & affection. I understand how important it is to trust someone with your pet, so I make sure I take lots of cute photos, along with thorough updates to keep you informed & at ease while you’re away!
About: Besides having raised both cats and dogs all my life, I also have several years experience with volunteering at animals shelters. I can provide leash manners, socialization and provide medical care. At the moment, my availability is very flexible. I can provide service at any day and time. I’m local and can travel for clients. In addition, I’m very responsive. I like to make all animals feel at home by providing a relaxed environment. I have a fenced in yard. All animals should be loved and approached with patience.
About: I’ve had dogs my entire life and understand the care each one (puppy-senior) requires. Many friends, family, and coworkers have trusted me to care for their fur babies - walks, feedings, drop-ins, etc. They have all become family to me! 🧡 That being said, I’d love to be apart of your pet’s daily care! I am currently available after 5pm Monday-Thursday, after 3:30pm on Friday and between 8:30am- late evening on Saturday and Sunday. I am very flexible overall! I have experience teaching basic dog training commands - sit, lay down, roll over, paw, etc. I can walk (3) dogs at a time. Long walks and play are essential for their well-being and health. Happy to take them to dog parks too!
About: I was a vet tech at the clinic I grew up by until recently, when I changed career fields. As a former vet tech, I am comfortable giving oral and injectable medications, working with special care animals (kidney disease/renal failure, epilepsy, diabetes, Cushings/Addisons, etc) and have wellbeing expertise beyond that of a typical sitter; if something goes wrong, I know protocol and when to get a vet involved. If you happen to have animals beyond just dogs and cats, I have large and small animal experience (livestock, especially horses, chickens, dogs of all sizes, cats, exotics) and pet sat for friends and family for years until I moved. I love animals and am looking forward to get to know yours! I'm working full time M-F but work nearby and have a lunch break in the middle of the day. I'm an active person and am happy to exercise your baby and give them lots of love. I care for your pets as if they were my own. I believe in not just doing what's necessary (feeding, potty breaks/cleaning the litter box) but also in giving mental and physical exercise. I'm happy to live on your pet or let them keep their distance according to their personality and needs.
About: I have taken care of friends and family pets over the course of this year some long-term and some short term. Frequent dog park visits and timely feedings. I can accommodate all types of diets, raw kibble, and specialty foods. I currently work full-time however I have a rotating schedule so I can often pet sit and drop in weekdays if needed and weekends. I am off in the mornings so drop and visits are easy for people who work 9 to 5 and just want their dog to have some extra time out or to just check in on the cats. There is an option of having your pet here in my space all to themselves or with my personal pets. I have different options of sleeping accommodations for your pet cage, cot and cushioned. Though I do not have a fenced in yard, I have a dog park in my complex as well as a dog park 4 minutes away by car. I can accommodate all diets, including raw diet.

Pet parents share their Rover experiences - Yorktown Heights
Gloria did such a wonderful job looking after our boy Cheddar. She was very thoughtful and attentive and went above and beyond her duty for doing drop in visits. We had about a foot of snow and she shoveled our driveway and walkway which was so thoughtful and we hadn’t expected her to do that since she was just doing drop in visits and no house sitting. We highly recommend Gloria as a pet sitter!

You and your sitter can agree on a care schedule that fits your pet’s routine and the sitter’s availability. Pet Sitting can be booked as a one-time or recurring drop-in visit. If you need overnight care or dog walks, you may also be able to book House Sitting or Dog Walking through Rover with the same sitter, provided they offer those services.
Before booking, confirm:
- the timing, length, and frequency of visits;
- the care instructions the sitter should follow;
- which parts of your pet’s usual routine should be prioritized;
- how often you would like to receive messages, photos, or other updates.
Not every sitter offers the same services, availability, or booking options. Review their profile and discuss the care you need through Rover before booking each service.
If you would like updates while you’re away, you can discuss with your sitter how many or how frequent you’d like those updates to be. The Rover app allows sitters to send photos, videos, and messages about your pet, including how many pee or poop breaks occurred. You can message your sitter at any time through the app and our support team is available 24/7 by email or chat if you have concerns.
The personalized, in-home nature of pet care through Rover can mean more individual attention for your pet.
Many pet parents provide a spare key or arrange a lockbox. You can also exchange keys during the Meet & Greet and show your walker how to use digital fobs or personalized codes. It helps to arrange access to your home, from spare keys to concierge introductions, before pet care begins.
If you live in an apartment or condo, don’t forget to discuss details like buzzer access, codes, or elevator etiquette. These details can help a pet sitter feel more comfortable going in and out of your building.
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 .

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.
