“We just picked Kaydee up from her first overnight boarding at Charles and Lori home with their dog Fiona Kaydee is tired but happy, she is 7 months old so we are very happy that Kaydee and Fiona got along so well Charles is very responsive, he sent us pics and videos of Kaydee and Fiona playing We look forward to kaydees upcoming stay with Charles Thank you again”
“Karli was very accommodating to Miss Sallie. Her warm welcoming dog friendly home and fenced yard allowed us to be stress free leaving are fur family there. She will top of my list next time we require overnight care for Sallie 💕😊”
“My two boys stayed almost a week and definitely were the happiest they have been away from their mom. The photos and videos I got I could just see it in their eyes following her all around her home, getting belly rubs from her children! She even let them sleep with her. It was definitely a vacation for them as it was for me! Already planning their next vacation :)”
“We are so grateful for Lynette! We’ve had her take care of our 5 month old yorkie poo twice now, once for a weekend and once just for the day. The true testament to how good she is with our pup was how excited he was to see her when she came back to pick him up the second time! Lynette has been on time, very good at comminicating how things are going, and sends pictures while we’re away. She also took Dobby for walks and sent us a map of where and how far they went. I definitely recommend Lynette, she’s very sweet and you can tell how much she loves dogs and knows how to train and care for them.”
“Josephine has such a calm and centred energy. She is responsive in her communication and was diligent having a meet and greet before hosting Luna. Luna can lack confidence with other dogs, Josephine was a strong leader in managing hosting 2 dogs at once so Luna came home well and content.”
“Thank you both so much! Gord came home and has been so content today which tells me he enjoyed his stay. For us, knowing that our boy was well taken care of, made our trip so much easier. Loads of thanks!”
“Caitlin was wonderful! She gave lots of updates and comforted Nikki through a thunderstorm. Her dog is absolutely lovely and Nikki became fast friends. Would absolutely rebook!”
“Sadie is an exceptional sitter! From the very first meeting, it was clear that Sadie have a natural connection with animals and a genuine passion for what she’s doing! Beck is a dog where he needs more attention from people due to his prior traumas, in which many sitter cannot accommodate. Sadie, through the short session, demonstrated high-levels of patients towards Beck, and thereby quickly establishing a connection with him. In addition, she provides constant feedbacks and updates to dog owners, and quick response to any questions raised. I would strongly recommend Sadie! She is really good at what she’s doing.”
“Laura is absolutely amazing! From the start she was so accommodating and went truly above and beyond. We toured her whole house, she has a wonderful fenced-in yard, and you can immediately tell she truly loves animals. My dog is nervous/anxious and does not do well at daycare, but she was so patient and willing to work with us to make him comfortable. She gave constant updates with videos and pictures, treats, and even puppy ice cream. If you want someone who genuinely cares and will treat your dog like family, book with Laura. We can't recommend her enough!”
About: I’ve been caring for our family pets and my own pets my entire life. I’ve provided a home for both cats and dogs with a variety of different personalities and needs. I’ve been trusted with walking, feeding and watching my family and friends fur babies on many occasions. My goal is that every animal in my care feels safe, comfortable, and loved while ensuring they receive the patience, attention, and care they deserve. I’m currently a student. I’m available between classes for potty breaks, walks, or some play time. I am also available after classes, time will vary based on my schedule, and weekends. I have two lovely cats in my apartment, one of which will be your pets best friend, and the other prefers to keep to herself. I will do my best to ensure your pet sticks to their regular routine, whether it’s in my home or yours.

Also available for emergency drop ins and help, because you never know when life get crazy. Having pets myself, pet care it’s my routine!

About: I’m a patient, caring dog lover who would be happy to welcome your pup into my home while you’re away! I’m comfortable caring for dogs of all ages, sizes, and personalities, and I want every dog in my care to feel safe, comfortable, and loved. My schedule varies depending on when my own dogs are with their dad, which means I have opportunities to host overnight stays! My apartment is already dog-proofed, furniture is welcome, and I have access to a fenced-in area where your pup can run around and enjoy some outdoor time. For safety, I won’t bring your dog into the fenced area if other dogs are using it. I may also be available other nights of the week while my dogs are home, as long as a meet and greet is set up before hand to ensure everyone gets along well! For dogs staying during the day, I do require that they’re comfortable being left alone for periods of time. I’ll be sure to give your pup plenty of patience, companionship, and affection while you’re away. My goal is to make their stay feel as comfortable and stress-free as possible. Your home may be where you belong, but my home can be their home away from home! 🐶💕 Pet sitting fits naturally into my schedule during the times my own dogs are with their dad. My availability varies, but I can welcome a dog into my home for up to three nights at a time, depending on the dates and the dog’s needs. I’m happy to provide company, care, and a comfortable home away from home, as long as your pup is comfortable being left alone for periods of time when needed. I’ll make sure their stay is a positive, safe, and loving experience! 🐾 I care for them in my home as I care for my own dogs. This includes feeding them meals, potty breaks, walks, and relaxing with them.
“Lisa cared for our two dogs overnight recently while we were away. I really appreciated the regular updates and photos. She is a great communicator and the dogs were well-cared for and tired when they came home. I felt confident leaving them with Lisa after meeting her and seeing where they would be staying, which is a dog's paradise. I highly recommend Lisa to anyone looking for excellent care for their dogs.”

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 Clayton 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 Clayton 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 Clayton.
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.

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.
