About: I’ve grown up with dogs my whole life. I’m known as the “animal whisperer”. All animals seem to love me, and everyone can see that. I do this as my actual job, so I’ll be home all day with your pets. I will treat them as if they’re my own animals. They’ll get some one on one time, long walks, play time, cuddle time, snacks (like peanut butter), and so much more. People call my home the “pet’s paradise”.

“We were just passing through on a road trip and landed tickets to see the Bills play so this was a last minute book. Sierra was wonderful with our Bella who has separation anxiety. She took it slow with Bella and soon Sierra had her eating (she has NEVER eaten a meal when we are not there with her), going for walks, and napping. I can tell Sierra was great with Bella because she was happy when we picked her up and went right to sleep when we got home.”
“Vidya was absolutely fantastic, taking care of our dog for the afternoon while we were in town visiting relatives. She was very conscientious and reliable, and provided many updates and photos throughout the afternoon. Highly recommended, we will book her again the next time we are back in town.”
“Thanks so much! Crystal was very professional. She was clear about her services and what she doesn’t offer - like picking my dog up from my house - I appreciate clear boundaries. She fed him & let him out more than enough times and he seemed very happy over there. I feel safe with her watching my dog. Thank you!”
About: I've cared for all types of pets for around 30 years, and I love them all like family. From babies to seniors, and pets with special needs, I've got you covered. I understand the stress of leaving your loved one in the care of others, and I take that responsibility seriously. I am an emergency veterinarian assistant, trained in pet CPR. Rest assured that their every need will be met with great care. My availability is very flexible, to meet your care needs. If you choose to board in my home, I will always be home with your pet so I can attend to your pet's every need. Your furry, scaled or feathered loved one will never be left unattended. When caring for pets in my home, they will have free roam of the house, but never unattended. I do not use crates (unless specifically requested) and they are free to lounge on furniture and beds. My home is their home! As for caring for your pets in your home, you make the rules and we will stick to them!
“I needed doggy daycare for my large dog at the very last minute and Racheal was more than happy to help me out. She was great with my dog. You can tell that she absolutely loves animals. I will definitely use her again!”
About: Dogs have been a part of my life for as long as I can remember, and caring for them has always brought me a great deal of joy. Now that I’m retired, I have the time and flexibility to give your dog the attention, companionship, and care they deserve. My home is a calm, welcoming place where your dog can feel safe, relaxed, and part of the family. I understand that every dog is different, with their own personality, routines, and little quirks. I’m happy to follow your instructions and keep your dog’s normal routine as much as possible. Whether your dog loves a good walk, a cozy nap, a little playtime, or simply having someone nearby, I’ll be there to give them plenty of affection and companionship. Most of all, I want you to feel comfortable knowing your furry family is being cared for with patience, kindness, and genuine love. I know how much our dogs meant to us—they truly are family. I would be honored to welcome your dog into my home and treat them as one of my own while you’re away. As a retired caregiver, I’m home all day and can give your pet plenty of attention and companionship. Pet care fits naturally into my daily routine, allowing me to provide consistent care, regular walks and playtime, and plenty of love and attention throughout the day. I enjoy having pets as part of my daily life and take pride in making sure they feel happy, safe, and comfortable. I offer care in your home or at my quiet, dog-free home. For dogs, the day can include daily walks, playtime, fetch, cuddles, and plenty of one-on-one attention. I’m happy to care for puppies through senior dogs and will follow your pet’s normal routine, including meals, medications, and rest time. There are no children or other pets in my home, making it a calm and peaceful environment. My goal is for your pet to feel like part of the family while you’re away!
“Mary and her family are absolutely AMAZING with our puppy, Scout! She communicates and sends me pictures throughout the day and after only one day of daycare, the next time he saw her he was SO excited!! Her sweet dog, Maggie, has taken Scout under her wing and is so good with him. I cannot say enough good things! I feel like we hit the lottery by finding Mary to care for our sweet boy when we are at work. He leaves ever day happy and exhausted!”
About: I have had dogs of every shape, size and disposition for 50 years. I have been fostering rescue dogs for 20 years. I don’t think I will ever not have a dog in my life. I am retired so home pretty much 24/7. I have 2 dogs of my own so am available anytime. I enjoy gardening so prefer to be home. I have a fenced yard with doggie door. I walk the dogs beside giving them free rein in house and yard. I have numerous doggie beds for their comfort along with furniture to sleep on!
About: I started walking my next door neighbor’s Boston Terrier when I was around 10. She knew I was an animal lover, and even let me experiment with some training with her pup. This led to me getting into agility training and just general dog training, which I have started to pick back up again. I am known as the family dog sitter, as my family has a combination of Pit Bulls, Bernedoodles, and hunting breeds, so I’ve worked with dogs of all shapes and sizes and stubbornness! Aside from dogs, I grew up volunteering at shelters where I adopted my own cat when I was 15, and eventually even landed a job as a zookeeper! As far as my own pets go, I currently keep it to my cat, fish and my wonderful Bearded Dragon, Albus. From my own pets, work experience, and love of training, I really have worked with everything from lizards to rodents to dogs to elephants! One consistency throughout my experience is my love for animals, and my passion to improve the quality of their life! Specific skills: - Puppy/Adult dog training - Hoofstock care and training (goats, horses, exotics) - Reptile care I currently work from home, so I have the availability to work from wherever I need to. This also gives me the option to walk/train during my breaks. I have weekend availability as needed as well. I am able to stay over at a pet owner’s home if needed, however I prefer to host pets in my own home whenever possible. I currently have a 1 year old mixed breed who absolutely LOVES having the company! As always, your pet’s safety is my number one concern. I am trained in identifying and understanding animal behavior and will not put your animal in a position where they do not feel safe. I am also a huge advocate for leash laws and ADA regulations protecting service dogs, so these will always be respected and enforced in my care. I am a huge advocate for animal enrichment, working as a zookeeper in the past taught me how important mental stimulation is for an animal, and how when paired with proper exercise can mitigate behavioral issues in pets. This is something I would love to bring to the table for my clients!
About: I’m a fun, patient, attentive and big-hearted animal lover with a lifetime of experience caring for pets. Growing up with a variety of animals, including dogs, cats, and reptiles, I’ve developed a deep understanding of their needs. I’ve cared for pets ranging from reptiles and fish, to senior dogs and cats, to puplies and brand new kittens. At 19, I adopted my first dog, a Bull Mastiff, and raised him from a 6-week-old puppy to a 140-pound adult. I’ve also cared for my family’s cats after my mother passed, and I lovingly adopted a 12-year-old Cairn Terrier, providing him with care until his passing at 16.5 years. While I have no formal training, I have a natural ability to train animals with patience and love, always using a firm yet gentle approach. I’m experienced in handling a variety of species, including reptiles like ball pythons and geckos, and have even assisted with rescuing wildlife. What sets me apart is my genuine love for animals, my diverse experience, and my ability to provide both playful and responsible care. Your pet will feel loved, safe, and well-cared for with me! I live alone, lost the last of my own critters, and am a seasonal traveler. I go to Argentina for a couple months every winter so I can’t responsibly own pets of my own, but I am built to be around them! I need animals in my life so this is as much for me as it is for you. I work remotely so I have a lot of flexibility especially when it comes to sitting or walking from my home or town. I can be very attentive to your animal to whatever fits their comfort level. I am very active so am I game for hikes, walks, and lots of playing, but can also enjoy a nice sit and snuggle with an elderly friend. I live alone so there would be no triggers from children, other animals, etc. once they’re in my house. I live walking distance from several trails and parks. I also love taking dogs for car rides! Whatever they wish. I am very attentive so I ensure your baby will be content and cared for to the best of our ability.
“I’m anxious to leave my dogs with others, but I could tell upon meeting Monica that they would be ok. She is a very sweet lady who obviously loves dogs and made ours feel at home in her comfortable home and nice fenced-in yard. In every way Monica was awesome! Anyone should feel comfortable leaving their dogs in her care.”
About: I grew up around animals. I have taken care of my own dogs, cats, rabbits and fish throughout my life. I have also taken care of friends pets when they’ve gone out of town. I am comfortable with large and small dogs, cats, and caged animals. I’m currently working part time so I have plenty of time for your pets. I have a 4yr old who is comfortable around animals and I am available for boarding if your animal is comfortable with men, women, and children. I live on a quiet street in an apartment and look forward to walking with your dog at my home or yours. I am comfortable working with multiple kinds of collars and leashes.

Frequently asked questions about Rover
As of October 2026, there are 223 sitters on Rover offering Doggy Day Care across Alexander. Enter your ZIP code to see which available sitters are closest to your home.
Sitters on Rover can offer flexible scheduling, so you can coordinate times that work best for you and your pet—whether that’s early drop-off or later pick-up to match your Alexander commute.
If your schedule changes, it’s best to let your sitter know through the app as early as possible. Many sitters can adjust pick-up and drop-off times when needed.
Think of doggy day care as your dog’s fun, supervised play date that happens to fit into your workday. Day care through Rover takes place in a real home. This offers a calmer and more personalized environment for your pup.
A typical day can include companionship, one-on-one attention, and same day pick-up and drop-off. Many sitters can also offer structured routines and exercise throughout the day. For recurring, weekly day care, sitters will include photo updates so you can see your dog in their element.
Here are tips for finding the ideal day care fit for your dog:
- For some small dogs: In-home day care can be the perfect fit. Look for sitters whose "can host" section only lists dogs weighing 0–7 kilograms and/or 7–18 kilograms. During your Meet & Greet, ask about play areas based on dog size and energy level.
- For high-energy dogs: The ideal doggy day care can offer scheduled breaks and outdoor spaces or activities. You can also find sitters who host multiple dogs to satisfy your pup’s socializing needs.
- For dogs who prefer human-only companionship: Use the filters "Doesn't own a dog" and "Only accepts one pet at a time" to find the right care.
As of October 2026, there are 223 sitters on Rover offering Doggy Day Care across the region of NY. Enter your address or desired location to see which available sitters are closest to you.
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.
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 .
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.
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 .

You can message multiple sitters simultaneously to find the fastest available match. If you need care today or tomorrow, you can look for sitters with a "calendar last updated" notice on their profiles.
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.
