“Chrissy does a great job with our little Rosie! She takes good care of her, playing and cuddling. Chrissy sends us regular updates and pictures which is very reassuring. We will definitely keep hiring Chrissy for our pup in the future!”
“Leaving our Layla with Peg was so comforting. We knew when we met her that she was the right choice to watch her while we were away. Layla got lots of love and lots of exercise. Not to mention much needed play time with other dogs. Peg kept us updated on how she was doing and sent lots of photos and videos. We highly recommend Peg!”
“Jonathan was great while sitting our Cooper! He accepted our last minute reservation when another sitter left us without someone to take care of him the night before our trip. Jonathan’s dog, Oreo, was a sweetheart and kept Cooper company the whole time. Thank you Jonathan and Oreo!!!”
“We couldn’t have been happier with our first experience leaving our dog with Kyle. Her love of dogs is obvious. She took such good care of him and kept in regular contact with us with pictures and videos. He came home happy and unstressed. Actually, I’m not sure he wanted to come home 😆. We definitely recommend her!”
“I dropped Buddy off the morning of 4/9 and picked him up on the 14th. Devin sent a text with pictures to show that Buddy had setteled in and playing with the other dogs. When we got home he slept the day away so I can only assume he had a good time. I would recommend Devin in a heart beat. Next time we need somebody Devin will definitely be the one I call”
“Mike was amazing with our dog Oli when we went on vacation. He sent pictures and kept us up to date on how he was doing. It was so comforting to know Oli was in good hands while we were away. I would highly recommend.”
“Carolyn was so amazing with our 3 year old golden, Ellie. She sent photos every day that we were away and updated us on walks or playtime. Ellie looked so happy in every picture and that made me feel confident that she was in good hands while we were on vacation. Carolyn is funny and so sweet. She’s a dog lover at heart and it shows in how she cared for Ellie. Ellie can’t wait to go back!”
“I've finally found the best sitter. Heidi and her family took my dog Romeo into her home for a weekend and treated him with love and respect. She sent me updates and pictures of Romeo throughout the day. There were other pets at her place that Romeo got along with very well. I can tell he made some great buddies. She even cooked rice for him(Romeo loves rice) and gave him treats! Communication was great from start to end. I think my Romeo boy misses her already. Thanks Heidi!!!”
“Mery and Brad looked after my greyhound Nadia for a few nights and they did a marvelous job! Setting up Nadia's stay was very easy and my messages were replied to promptly. I was also kept updated throughout her stay. Nadia was obviously happy and well looked after when I went to pick her up; I would definitely recommend Mery and Brad to anyone looking for caring and wonderful dog sitters!”
“Lincoln loved his stay at Anna’s! Anna was very communicative and flexible when our departure time changed a bit. Lincoln met new friends to play with and was a happy boy when we picked him up! We love the goody bag and doggy report card we received at the end of his stay! We will definitely be booking with Anna again!”
“I can’t say enough about Jaya & her family taking care of my dog Barley like he was one of theirs. She was quick w/ responding, and her communication was thorough. Barley loved his “sleep over” playing w/ Jaya’s cute pup Biscuit in her big back yard. She made me feel like Barley was safe & would be cared for just like her own. We’ll surely be hoping she is available again for our next pet sitting need. Thank you Jaya !”
“Tiffany was fantastic with my mini golden doodle! She was very responsive to messages and sent a lot of photos! I will definitely have Tiffany watch my dog again, she had the best time with the large fenced in yard!”

“Richelle was amazing! She kept us updated every day on how our pup was doing, which really put our minds at ease. Teddy had a blast going on walks and received so much love and care, especially since he’s quite the energetic ball of joy! We're incredibly grateful for her flexibility in taking our last-minute request due to a family emergency. We will absolutely be using her services again in the future!”
“Our pup loves her stays with Julia. Julia is always quick to respond and takes great care of Juju. Her dogs get along very well with mine and they have a good setup with a lot of space for my dog to be active.”
“Camilla was great! Nevada had a blast playing with Domino and friends, and Camilla sent pics at the end of the day and let me know all the adventures they had. It was nice knowing that Nevada was in such good hands and I think she was sad to leave!”
“Vera kindly agreed to host our Piper with less than a week’s notice. She was super communicative, sending a reminder packing list prior to the visit, as well as detailed updates and lots of photos. Piper had a terrific time with Vera and returned home a happy pup. Thank you!”
“Addy took such wonderful care of my pup, Gabriel. She sent pictures twice a day with an update. He always looked so relaxed and happy. Addy is very kindhearted - I would recommend her again and again!”
Dog parents share their Rover experiences - Ballston Center
Boarded my dog for 5 days. It was my first occasion to try leaving him. He appeared to fit in immediately. Maegan provided pics each day which helped reduce my own anxiety. I really had no idea of what to expect but she walked me through how the days would go with my dog and the other dogs being boarded. The real proof was how my dog would respond in the days after he returned. I feared he would be sad or depressed for leaving him. However, when he came back and was as happy as ever. To me that means he was cared for and enjoyed the other dogs. I would send him to Maegan for future stays.

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 Ballston Center home-away-from-home, 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 Ballston Center.
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 Ballston Center 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 , 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 .
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.
