“Katie was great with my pup, Mugsy. She kept me updated on how he was doing; she sent pictures, videos and text messages. She always touched base to inquire about extending/pickup as my move-in date was moved a few times. I really appreciated her adapting and accommodating my changing schedule. Thank you Katie for loving my pup when I couldnt be with him.”
“Linsey was amazing with Dax! He loved playing and hanging out with her pup too!! We were grateful she was able to take Dax on such short notice as our other Rover person had an emergency! We loved the communication and photos that were sent!”
“At first I was skeptical about using Rover to find someone to care for my German Shepherd that I just adopted and because of moving reasons I needed a place for him to be until my place was ready. I came across Jin, and she was immediately available, and I couldn't be more lucky to have found such an amazing human been, she took care of my Tony so good, with constant pictures and follow ups about his activities. I will only use her services to care for my dog. She us the best. Thank you so much for taking care my big baby tony.??”

Michelle we can’t thank you enough!!!”

About: Hi, I’m Daniel! I’ve been caring for animals since I was a kid, and it's always been a passion of mine. I currently have 3 amazing dogs of my own, so I know just how important it is to find someone you can trust with your pets. I also get a little extra insight into animal health and behavior thanks to my girlfriend of 6 years, who works in a veterinary clinic. Whether it’s playtime, walks, or just some good old belly rubs, your pup will be treated like family with me! Pet care fits naturally into my daily routine because I work from home, which gives me the flexibility to be available anytime your pet needs attention. Whether it’s a mid-day walk, playtime, feeding, or just some company throughout the day, I’m always around to give pets the care and affection they deserve. Having my own dogs, I’m already used to a routine that revolves around their needs - and I’m more than happy to include yours in that too! When caring for pets in a client’s home, I always aim to make them feel safe, comfortable, and loved in their own familiar environment. I follow your instructions closely - whether it’s feeding schedules, walk routines, medication, or playtime - to make sure your pet’s day goes as smoothly as possible. I treat every home with respect and every pet like family, giving them the attention, companionship, and care they need while you're away.
“Jessica was amazing with caring for our Bailey! She is kind, reliable and a true dog lover. She follows all care instructions and keeps in communication with pictures and updates. We would book with her again without reservation.”
“Jessica was great with my 12 yr old dog Geno! He was very happy there as he stayed for a long weekend! She was very tentative with his diabetes and giving him his insulin injections! I highly recommend her and Geno does too! We will be using her again in the future!”
“Racheal was terrific with my min-pin, Raina! She was given lots of comfy places to rest and got along with Racheal's dog well. Racheal has a fenced in yard as well as land behind that for walks and she took her along on outings as well. Raina seemed very happy and relaxed when I picked her up. Great experience all around, recommend her highly.”
“Jenn took care of my 9 yr. old chihuahua Saturday-Sunday. We did a meet and greet at Jenn’s house the Wednesday before. I liked her right away and I could tell she loves animals. This is the first time leaving my pup overnight at someone else’s house. Jenn did an awesome job of taking care of Mia! She also sent me updates of photos and texts. I will definitely be using her again. I highly recommend her!”

If you would like updates while you’re away, you can discuss with your sitter how many or how frequent you’d like those updates to be. The Rover app allows sitters to send photos, videos, and messages about your pet, including how many pee or poop breaks occurred. 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.
95% of sitters in Colden 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 Colden 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 Colden.
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.
Yes, you can find sitters who have experience with handling special pet needs in Colden. On Rover:
- 91% of sitters can help with special care needs
- 95% can help with giving oral medications or injections
- 95% can help with daily exercise
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 Colden 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.
