“This was our first stay with Ana and it was great. She treated our dog Iike her own and also gave him Christmas presents which was not necessary but appreciated. We will be booking Ana again.”
“Jacque and his wife were very friendly and took great care of our dog. This was the first time we have ever left her and he made sure we were comfortable. From a meet and greet beforehand and then pictures and messages while we were away. Highly recommend!!”
“Anthony and Nate did a wonderful job with our Holly. I got photo/text updates on how she was doing. We would definitely book again. If you are thinking about booking with Anthony, you definitely should.”
“Alena was super kind and patient with our puppies. She sent us a video update during their stay and made us feel very comfortable with their stay.”
“We are are so happy with Claryssa & Dans service! Having someone comfortable with a X Large dog put our minds at ease! Our Bernese Mountain Dog Opie was safe happy and entertained in their care! We got lots of pictures of our boy relaxing and hanging with his new friends! We definitely will be using them again!!”
“This was our first time leaving our puppy. We were a little nervous. When we meet Courtney she made us feel very comfortable. Our dog loved her dogs immediately. They got along great. Courtney sent daily updates, pictures and videos. We definitely would recommend her and will have her watch Myles anytime we need someone.”
“I’m so grateful she accepted my dog last minute on the same day. She took amazing care of him and treated him like her own. I felt completely at ease knowing he was in such loving, reliable hands. We’ll be back!! Highly recommend!”
“As all true dog lovers know, a dog is not just a pet, it is a member of the family. As such, I am very cautious about where and who I leave my dog with. As we had never had to leave our Violet with anyone, my wife and I were very worried when we had to leave our girl for almost 2 weeks. We did not feel comfortable boarding her at a kennel as we didn’t think she would respond well to that environment. So, we went to Rover to see if we could find someone we thought would be a good fit for our Violet. After reading multiple write ups on various Rover sitters, we found Erika who we thought looked like a good fit and was close to our home. At our meet and greet with Erika, my wife and I had perfect peace as we met with Erika and saw the home where Violet would be staying. Erika had a warm and inviting home, a fenced in backyard, and the perfect playmate, ( her dog Huxley) for our girl Violet. My wife and I decided immediately that this home and sitter would be the perfect fit for Violet. We were not disappointed! Erika loved our Violet as much as she loved her own dog and showered her with love and affection. She sent us daily pictures and videos of Violet and her dog playing, napping, and just having a wonderful time. She was having so much fun. We jokingly, worried that Violet wouldn’t want to come home with us after spending time with Erika. Ha Ha. In summary, any dog would be lucky to spend time with Erika. She is an amazing person and we were so happy we found her. This app only let me put in a rating of 5 stars, but if I could have, I would have put in 10 or more stars in rating her performance. We would definitely use Erika again in the future, if and when we needed to board our Violet. My only worry is that after reading my review of Erika, everyone will want to board with her and I won’t be able to have my Violet stay with her when I next need her. Ha ha.”
“Crystal is absolutely AWESOME ! Daily updates with pics of the dogs. Lots and lots of activity time outside. Wonderful, caring, and loving environment. Great location and yard. The dogs had a great "vacation" time with Crystal. Will use her service every time. If I could, I'd give Crystal 10+ stars. Overall a GREAT care giver.”
“Our dog, Millie, seemed like she had a great time with Megan and her kids! Megan was friendly and very communicative the whole time. We received lots of picture, video, and text updates. We would definitely use her again!”
“Katie was great with my pup, Mugsy. She kept me updated on how he was doing; she sent pictures, videos and text messages. She always touched base to inquire about extending/pickup as my move-in date was moved a few times. I really appreciated her adapting and accommodating my changing schedule. Thank you Katie for loving my pup when I couldnt be with him.”
“Sean and I refer to Michael as "Uncle Mike," because the second we walked through the door with our boys for the meet and greet - he made all four of us feel welcome and at home. Uncle Mike is a very special man with a heart of gold. He has a true gift for making dogs feel loved and comforted, and making sure they are cared for properly. While we were on vacation, he loved and took care or our boys as if they were his own. We got picture updates that melted our hearts and were completely at ease knowing they were in his care. We will GLADLY recommend him to anyone in the area for their dog sitting needs. We consider ourselves blessed to have found him.”
“Carol has had our dog three times in the last 2 mos and has done a wonderful job caring for our human touch addicted pet! Carol made her special food and was constantly with the dog ; literally side by side . Thanks Carol!”
About: Recently lost my 14 year old corgi named Penny. The house feels very empty and since I’m not looking into getting a new dog I thought dog sitting would be a nice option to try. Fenced yard, hardwood floors, easily divided up rooms if needed. I work Monday - Thursday 7:30-5 but if needed would be able to come let a dog out during lunch. I love dogs and would treat any animal as if it was my own. I work Monday - Thursday 7:30-5. Able to come home during lunch to let a dog out if needed. My evenings are very open and can be dedicated to the dog I am watching. Fenced yard, no children or dogs in the home. There is an inground pool but dogs will be monitored. No neighbor dogs on either side to cause dog stress or barking
“I could not have imagined a better place for my Louie to be taken care of. She went far beyond my expectations. I will definitely use her services again and again”
“Dana kept me updated daily with pictures and what they did for the day. Bella really enjoyed herself. She usually doesn't eat when we are away but she felt comfortable in their home. I am so grateful to have found them! I will definitely be using them for future trip knowing that my baby will be taken care of and loved like it was me. Thank you guys for everything!!”
“Vidya was wonderful with our 1 year old rescue dog. We got daily updates and pictures. You could tell she truly cares about the dogs she sits and makes them comfortable. She also kept our dog busy and occupied. We would highly recommend her and use her again!”
“We entrusted Cuddles to Miranda for a few hours. She kept us updated with adorable photos, which put our minds at ease and made us feel so relieved to leave our precious Yorkie in her hands.”
“Excellent sitters! I knew from the moment my dog and I met Melissa and Greg, that he would be well cared for. They provided me with daily updates and pictures of my pup having fun with their pups and family. I would definitely recommend them to everyone I know.”

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 .
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. Cats may be required to have Feline Viral Rhinotracheitis and Rabies up to date.
By discussing your pet's health history early, you’re adding a layer of confidence for you and your sitter before the booking begins.
Emergency support is available by phone or email in English 24/7. When an incident occurs, we recommend that sitters contact our Trust & Safety team immediately so that they can connect your sitter with a board-certified veterinarian or offer other resources to help.
If a sitter needs to cancel at the last minute, Rover’s reservation protection means our team will work with you to find a suitable replacement as quickly as possible.
