About: As an experienced dog sitter, I stand out by providing personalized care tailored to each dog's unique needs. With a background in animal behavior and training and ensuring a safe and comfortable environment for your furry friend. I prioritize open communication and am dedicated to keeping you updated with regular photo and video updates, giving you peace of mind while you're away. Your dog's well-being is my top priority, and I strive to create a loving and engaging experience that sets me apart from other dog sitters. I'm currently working; however, I make my own schedule, so I have a flexible schedule and I'll have plenty of time to walk your pups! Your dog will enjoy a safe and trusting environment while in my care, where they will receive attentive supervision, affection, and all while talking a walk down memory lane.
“Charlie and his wife were great. We gave them a smaller ‘princess’ dog and a large high energy dog and they took them both in with no issue! Dogs seemed to have a good time! I would definitely board here again!”
“Danielle was so kind and took great care of Marcy over the weekend!! She was exhausted once we got home after lots of play time with Allie. I think she had lots of fun while in Danielle’s care! :)”
“Josephine recently took care of my 2 standard poodles - 12 years old and 4 years old. The 4 year old was rehomed to me a year ago and is a challenging dog. Josephine was just fantastic with both of them - taking care of the 12 year old's mobility issues and making sure the 4 year old was exercised and entertained. It was so clear from the photos Josephine sent that both pups were having a grand time and we have already booked their next stay!”
“We are beyond thrilled with the exceptional care our dog, Louis, received from Deb and Marron. From the very first interaction, their communication was outstanding—always prompt, clear, and incredibly thoughtful. They went above and beyond in terms of flexibility and attention to detail, which made us feel completely at ease leaving our boy in their care. It was so evident from the photos and updates that he was not just being looked after, but genuinely adored and doted on. They took him to the Santa Claus parade, had holiday photo shoots, and filled his days with so much fun, love, and big walks. He clearly was happy and we felt completely comfortable and trusting in their care. We have never experienced such personal, warm, and exceptional service from a dog-sitting duo. It’s clear that they do this for the pure love of dogs, and their kindness and professionalism shines through in every aspect of care within their lovely family home. Thank you for giving Louis such a memorable, safe, and joyful experience—we couldn’t recommend you both more highly!”
About: I grew up with all sorts of pets from fish to hamsters, and horses. Dogs have always been my passion but I still have plenty of love to give to every animal. I routinely care for my own animals along with my sisters, as she vacations often. I’m currently a Stay at Home Mom to my 1 year old son. My days are full of love and laughter with a lot of snacking and a few naps. I like to keep our weekends free for family time. During the week is all about fun and learning for both my son and our animals. I always keep extra kennels of all sizes and styles for clients so they don’t have to stress about bringing theirs along. We currently have a 20x10 fenced area for the dogs to have potty breaks. I can also set up run lines for those that prefer the extra security of a leash or they can be hand walked. We also have 3 acres of open unfenced land that well-trained dogs can have access to after trust is built. There is a separate room in our home specifically for the dogs, where they can relax unbothered for a nap or just some down time.

You can message your sitter at any time through the app and our support team is available 24/7 by email or chat if you have concerns.
The personalized, in-home nature of pet care through Rover can mean more individual attention for your pet.
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.
100% of sitters in Black River can provide daily exercise during dog boarding stays. Depending on the sitter, their home environment, and your dog’s needs, this 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 Black River 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 Black River.
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 can also find pet sitters on Rover who accept only one pet at a time, which is ideal for anxious puppies, kittens, or senior pets who move at a gentler pace. Some sitters will also list availability for 24/7 care, also known as constant care, in their profiles.
Use the search filters to narrow down sitters whose specific experience or environment meets your pet's needs. When reaching out to your sitter, outline your pet's care routine and use the Meet & Greet to walk your sitter through your expectations.
You and your Black River 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.
Adding another pup to the pack? Most sitters and walkers offer a reduced rate for additional dogs. You’ll find these exact rates listed under the "Services" tab on any sitter's profile. Since every dog is unique, final pricing may vary depending on the level of care required.
