“This was the longest we left our old man Gordon in a long time especially with someone he was unfamiliar with, and Jessica and her family did so great making our guy feel safe and at home! We will definitely book again. Thank you!”
“I can’t begin to tell you how wonderful it was to have Bev. She was watching my dog during this last snow event and not only did she reassure me because I couldn’t get back in time (plane cancelled) that she would gladly keep her as long as needed she went to the store and bought more of her dog food as I didn’t send enough. I couldn’t ask for anything more. It certainly made me feel great that my dogs care was one less thing I had to worry about. I wish I could give her more than 5 stars.”
“This could not have been a better experience!! Heather and Joe were so kind and clearly took great care of my pup! He even came home with a cute picture their son made for him. Communication was great! They sent updates and pictures so I could see how much my dog enjoyed his stay with them.”
“Jasper was so comfortable at Dana’s! He looked very at home and it eased my mind while I was away to see that he was content. Jasper will definitely be back in the future :)”
“Andreas was absolutely amazing. From the moment we booked him he was very communicative and answered any questions we had and calmed our worries. During our dog’s stay with Andreas, he sent lots of pictures and videos to let us know everything was going well. We will definitely rebook him for our next trip!”
“Brittany was wonderful! She took excellent care of our dog and made sure she got a nice walk and plenty of attention. Our dog was very happy and well cared for. We would definitely recommend Brittany and will happily have her watch our dog again! 🐾❤️”
“Her and her husband were amazing with our little guy Cooper♥️ We are very grateful that they were able to take him in last minute and that our pup had a lot of fun!”
“Anna was amazing and sooo very helpful! When a family member couldn’t watch out pups only a week before our trip she was able to take them all on that short notice. Not only that but she was genuinely excited to meet our pack as well. My wife and I were nervous as this was the first time 2 of our pups would be away from us and the other 2 would be away from us for more than a day. We couldn’t be happier and either could the pups. They came home happy, healthy and exhausted which was nice so we couldn’t also recuperate. Now that we have a trustworthy sitter we’ll be going away more than 1 time every ten years. Thank you Anna for everything!”
“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!!”
“Kendra was amazing to work with. She made a stressful last minute trip that came up for my family so much easier. The comfort I felt knowing my dogs were being cared for by her was priceless. She was very attentive with communication and pictures. I will definitely be using her again. 🥰”
“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.”
“I felt very comfortable leaving our boy with Racheal. Our dog is a bit anxious but settled in quickly with her fur babies. She communicated with us throughout the week and sent us a ton of pictures. I definitely recommend her.”
“Ashley was my hero last weekend. I waited too long to book a kennel for my pups and everything was booked up. Ashely and I were able to set up where she would come to my home several times a day to feed and let them out. My smaller dog can be hard to handle, Ashley met her at her pace and by the next day my dog was comfortable. I also liked that she was able to find time to come and do a meet and great with both my dogs the day before.”

“This is my second time using rover and find it a little scary how my ludo will react to being in a different household with other dogs and cats. Miranda was very reassuring and sent me more than enough pictures of how well ludo was doing when getting comfortable in a new environment. I highly rec booking with Miranda as she is a great care taker! Could not be happier that ludo was watched with such care!”

“Laura was fantastic with our two boys! We were impressed from the very start.

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 Barker 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 Barker.
<b>Tip:</b> 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 Barker 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.
