“I had an amazing experience with Rick! He took exceptional care of my dog and treated him like his own. He was reliable, communicated regularly with updates and photos, and made sure all his needs were met.”

“Anthony took good care of my dog while I had to go out of town. It was a last minute business trip and he was able to take Leia in. He was very good keeping me up to date with her day and even sent me pictures. Thank you!”

“Our dog had so much fun while staying at Debra’s over the weekend. She was able to run around in the yard and get in come cuddling time - which Debra sent photos of so we could see how well she was being taken care of. Thank you again! ?”

“Rebecca was simply wonderful. She was incredible with communication and sent us tons of pictures of our baby while we were away. She’s a very loving caregiver, and we would use her again in a heartbeat.”

“Remi is an anxious dog, but after this boarding experience, I noticed a big difference. He was much calmer when I picked him up, and it did not take him days to de stress like usual. When we arrived, Kimberly greeted us outside with her dog, who is extremely friendly and calm. Even though Remi was on a leash, he handled the interaction well, which honestly surprised me. Throughout Remi’s stay, Kimberly sent pictures and regular updates. She played fetch with him, which is one of his favorite activities (other than eating). By the time he came home, he was happily exhausted. We are so glad we found Kimberly and highly recommend her. She is someone we will definitely continue to return to.”

“Thomas was amazing! He sent lots of pictures of fun adventures each day, and was flexible with us when our flight got delayed and we had to change when we were picking our dog up.”


“Fabiola is awesome. She took great care my cat, Milo, for several weeks. She was happy to accommodate late minute request to extend the stay. She's very patient and looks like my cat enjoyed his stay with her.”

“Alex and Bethany treated Sunny just like the princess she believes herself to be, but also challenged her with long walks, new spaces, and some nearby unfamiliar animals (cattle). She could not have had a better experience--as testimony, when we came to pick her up, she hopped up in the car, but then turned back to give a Bethany a little goodbye kiss. I think that says it all--straight from the dog's mouth (or nose). (I should also mention the outstanding photos and videos of her stay!)”

“Indigo had a great time with Rochelle and her family! They were easy to communicate with and sent us updates with photos. Rochelle was flexible when our return time changed a bit, which was much appreciated!”

“Aaron took amazing care of Tucker and Lucy! He kept me updated with messages and photos, made sure they were comfortable, and treated them like his own. Both dogs came home happy, calm, and clearly well cared for. I felt completely at ease the whole time. I’ll definitely be booking with him again—highly recommend!”


“Cara and Dan were great with Theo. They sent pictures and updates every day. They were very accommodating to our schedule. We felt very comfortable leaving Theo in their care.”


“I had a great experience with Kenan and would definitely recommend him. He communicated with me throughout the entire process, which gave me a lot of peace of mind. I also really appreciated that he was able to take my dog on very short notice. My dog has some behavioral issues, and when I explained them, Kenan didn't seem intimidated or put off at all. He was calm, patient, and relaxed, which helped me feel much more comfortable leaving my dog in his care. It was clear that he takes his business seriously and genuinely cares about the animals he watches. The biggest sign that my dog had a great time was when I picked him up—he kept looking back at the house like he wanted to stay! That alone told me he felt safe, comfortable, and well cared for. I wouldn't hesitate to trust Kenan with my dog again.”
“Megan is great with Austin. They both bonded very well. Her own Dog Murphy is very friendly and became a good friend to Austin. I can definitely ash Megan for my fitt”

“Everything went well with Cara's 1st overnight stay. No issues were reported back to me. I will be leaving her with Jose again next weekend for a week. He sent a picture of Cara hanging in his back yard. Thanks again.”

“Thank you Lourdes and family for taking Snoopy for extra time when we had a travel delay. He loves his time with you and we are so grateful for the excellent care you give him.”

Lydia did a wonderful job taking care of our puppy while we went to a wedding. This was our first time leaving our dog with someone else, and Lydia was so kind and caring that we felt totally comfortable. As an added bonus, she sent us some beautiful pictures of our pup!

Every sitter on Rover has their own rhythm and routine, but most will follow the flow that keeps your dog happiest. Sitters can give meals on your dog's regular schedule, provide a comfortable place for sleep, and plenty of one-on-one attention.
93% of Rochester sitters also include daily walks in the neighborhood during dog boarding stays. You can also request photo and message updates throughout the stay so you can see which Rochester landmarks or neighborhoods your dog is enjoying.
If your dog is a little shy, consider booking a one-night trial stay! This practice run can boost your and your dog’s confidence before your trip.
Preparing for drop-off is easy when you have a checklist! To help your dog settle into their Rochester home-away-from-home, we recommend packing:
- Health and safety essentials such as their ID tags, vaccination records, medication, and emergency vet or secondary caregiver contacts.
- Food and gear such as harnesses, collars, food (portioned by day), and an item that smells like you.
- Special instructions such as a list of training cues, medical administration needs, or favorite hang-out spots in your Rochester.
Tip: You can upload your dog’s routine and medical info directly onto their profile so your sitter always has the details at their fingertips.
You and your Rochester sitter can schedule drop-off and pick-up in a way that works best for the both of you—and your dog. Most sitters offer flexible times for drop-off and pick-up but the easiest way to confirm those times will be through in-app messaging. Confirm your arrival time the day of pick-up and drop-off can also help keep the process smooth and organized.
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 .
While each sitter sets their own vaccine requirements, staying up-to-date on your dog’s vaccines is the best way to be "boarding ready". Vaccinations help create a safe environment for all pets under a sitter’s care.
Many sitters in NY ask that dogs be up to date on core vaccines like the Canine Parvovirus, Canine Distemper, Canine Adenovirus, Bordetella, and Rabies.
By discussing your pet's health history early, you’re adding a layer of confidence for you and your sitter before the booking begins.
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 dog to the closest veterinarian. Through our Trust & Safety support team, sitters can ask for diagnostic advice from a qualified veterinary professional if your dog 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.
