“Carrie B. and her family completely and thoroughly took care of and loved our pups! You could tell because when Bruno and Boone, came home, they were so loving and happy. From walks, pats, playtime, feeding, and treat time, Carrie did it all, as seen from the pictures and text messages. We will definitely be contacting her for any future pet sitting needs.”
“We have a very anxious 12 year old black lab dog and going away is always a problem. We had a very pleasant experience with Alexandria. Her patience and personal attention was just what our dog needed. We recently went away for a week and Grace had a wonderful experience. I would highly recommend Alexandria's services.”
“Chris, Lindsey, their kiddos and dog Birdie welcomed my boy into their home while we were out of town for a few days over Thanksgiving. They took great care of him, and he was clearly comfortable and had a total blast with tons of playtime and fun. They’re such a sweet, positive and energetic family, so glad we found them. Thank you!”
“Mary was amazing to work with! She is very accommodating, even on short notice. Our dog had a comfortable stay in her home and seemed very happy in her care! Highly recommend using Mary’s services!”
“Nicole and Michael took wonderful care of our boy Murphy and communicated with us regularly with texts and photos to keep us updated on how he was doing. We are very comfortable using them again and recommending them to others.👍”
“Kelly was amazing with our puppy! We loved all of pictures and updates throughout the day. Kelly took Avery on a bunch of walks, trips to the park, and gave her loads of attention and loving to keep her happy and comfortable! We look forward to having Kelly take care of our pup again in the future!”
“Desiree was amazing with my dog Ellie! She kept me updated with texts and pictures and even gave her a bath! I would 100 percent recommend her to care for your pet!! I’ll definitely be booking with her again !”
“Andrea was wonderful with our dog Denali. We feel so fortunate to have connected with her for our trip to Lake George. She was flexible with us when we hit unavoidable travel delays and had to meet up later than expected and at a different location. She communicated with us by text when something worried her (very reassuring!) She sent us happy dog pictures. And Denali was so happy when we picked her up. We will definitely use her again when we’re back in the area!”
About: I have been around animals my whole life, and enjoy taking care and spending time with them.I’ve taken care of neighbors and watched family friends pets as they were away. I have a dog that I enjoy doing everything with. I am currently working full time at a hotel but would love to do part time and spend time with animals as I love to do. How I care for animals in any environment is always making sure there comfortable. I’m very fragile and serious when it comes to animals happiness.
“Cab watched my 5 month golden retriever and I will definitely ask her to watch him again! She is very easy to work with and I can tell she loves dogs! She took him to piedmont park and got him a dog popsicle! He had a great weekend!!”
About: I’ve been an EMT for over 20 years and have lots of experience walking during 911 calls into homes where the pets were nervous and scared. I was always the one in the crew to be the one to help them relax and trust that they weren’t in danger. I currently work at the hospital, and own a big home with fenced in back yard and am available to do check ins, sitting and overnights on weekends, either in my home or yours. I have a fenced in yard and only one kitty. Her name is Lily and she would love the company, as her brother Jinx of 13 years just passed away and they were pals and did everything together.

Frequently asked questions about Rover
Rover is the largest marketplace for local pet care. Whether you're looking for pet sitters, dog walkers, or house sitters who specialize in pet sitting, you can narrow your search by entering your ZIP code to find sitters within walking distance in your neighborhood.
Every sitter on Rover has their own routine. Depending on the arrangements you agree on before the stay, a sitter can follow your dog’s regular feeding schedule, provide a comfortable place to sleep, offer companionship, and support their usual exercise and play needs.
Depending on the sitter, their home environment, and your dog’s needs, daily exercise may include walks, outdoor play, indoor enrichment activities, or supervised play with compatible dogs. These activities are not automatically included with every booking, so ask the sitter what a typical day looks like.
During the Meet & Greet, discuss your dog’s usual exercise and play routine, whether they can safely interact with other dogs, and any activities or restrictions the sitter should follow. You can also ask the sitter to send photo and message updates during the stay so you can see how your dog is spending their time.
Preparing for drop-off is easy when you have a checklist! To help your dog settle into their Athol 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 Athol.
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 Athol 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.
