“We had a wonderful experience with this couple watching our dog, Roxie! They were kind, caring, and made us feel completely comfortable leaving her in their care. They kept us updated with messages and photos, and it was obvious that Roxie was happy, relaxed, and well loved while she was there. Roxie can be a little cautious in new situations, and they were so patient and gentle with her. It meant a lot to know she was in such good hands. We came home to a content, well-cared-for dog, and we wouldn't hesitate to book with them again. Highly recommend them to anyone looking for trustworthy and attentive pet sitters”

“Kona had a great stay at Shannon and David’s! They were welcoming and warm which made Kona very comfortable. Pictures were so cute. He loved the long walks too! We were able to have a great weekend in Ellicottville with no worries. I highly recommend them and would absolutely have Kona stay on our next visit!”

“We were thrilled with the care my new puppies received. We received photos every day and looked forward to seeing how they were doing . I found that the dogs were given a lot of one on one time and socializing. We will definitely book again and nice to know so close to us. This was our first time using rover . Thankyou to both of you for providing such great care.”

“Kiara & Yves, did such an amazing job with my little kitty. She was so well cared for and the sitter was super responsive sending many nice updates and photos of Lottie. I would recommend their services to anyone who was looking for a sitter!”

“Tona and Wanda (the Girls) spent a week with Alena. We enjoyed seeing the pictures and notes Alena sent. The Girls were in great shape when we took them home. And Alena went out of her way to help with getting the Girl's crate ready to travel. We highly recommend Alena when you need to board your pups.”


“Nancy’s place is my favorite place to leave my pups for out of town trips! I get lots of picture updates and they get lots of cuddles at their home away from home. I know they’re happy there because they don’t hesitate to run in when I drop them off! So happy Nancy lets my boys stay with her.”

“I would recommend Valerie! She took care of our big baby, a long-haired German Shepherd named Jaeger. She went above and beyond to administer his medication, give him treats and lots of love and even drove him home for us. She sends lots of pictures and gives frequent updates. Jaeger came back very happy and slept for days!”

About: I’ve been caring for my own dog, Layla, since she was 3 months old and she’s now 9 years old. Being a dog dad has taught me patience, consistency, and how important routines, attention, and trust are for pets. I understand that every dog has their own personality and comfort level, and I care for each pet like they’re part of the family. Whether it’s walks, playtime, feeding, companionship, or keeping up with routines, my goal is always to help pets feel safe, comfortable, and cared for while you’re away. Pet care fits naturally into our daily routine because caring for our own dog has already been part of our lifestyle for years. I work outside the home but have flexibility to take breaks and come home throughout the day for walks, potty breaks, playtime, feeding, and check-ins. I understand every pet has their own routine and energy level, and I do my best to keep them comfortable, active, and cared for while you’re away. Creating a safe, comfortable, and trustworthy environment is very important to us. I've had my dog Layla since she was 3 months old and she’s now 9, so I understand how important it is to leave your pet with someone who treats them like family. I follow each pet parent’s instructions closely, including feeding schedules, walks, routines, medications (if applicable), and preferred care styles. I offer boarding in our spacious two-bedroom apartment with access to nice grassy areas nearby for walks, potty breaks, and outdoor time. Small dogs are welcome on the furniture if that’s part of their normal routine and helps them feel more comfortable and at home. I also have our friendly dog Layla, who is already used to sharing her space and being around other pets, helping create a welcoming and pet-friendly environment. Our goal is to make every fur baby feel safe, relaxed, and cared for while you’re away.
“Nina is a rockstar of pet care! Her communication is excellent, and her love for animals is so obvious from the minute you meet her. Our dog was thrilled to sleep overnight with her and her other animals. Highly recommended!”

“It was pretty daunting leaving my dogs with someone I had never met. My Boxer has separation anxiety so bad she got severe colitis last time I had to travel, so I knew a kennel setting would not be good for her. Getting pictures of the dogs completely relaxed and comfortable put my fears at rest almost immediately! Katie took excellent care of the dogs and took care on my worries as well! I would recommend her without hesitation :)”

“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.”

About: I’m an outdoorsy girl with a big heart for dogs and a love of adventure. Seeing them happy genuinely matters to me, and I’ll go the extra mile for a wagging tail—whether that’s a walk full of interesting sniffs, extra playtime, or quiet company. With so much nature around me, there’s plenty to explore. Sunny days or snowy ones, I’m happy to head outside when it’s safe, always keeping your dog’s comfort, routine, and energy level in mind. I treat animals like my own children. Your dog’s little quirks, favourite games, and need for reassurance matter to me, because I want them to feel loved and secure while you’re away. Spending time outdoors is already a part of my life, so walks, fresh air, and adventures fit naturally into my routine. When caring for a pet, I plan around their feeding times, bathroom breaks, exercise, and need for company. I make room for both the practical care and the little extras—playtime, cuddles, and time to settle in and feel comfortable. I care for pets like they’re my own children—with love, patience, and attention to the little things that help them feel safe. Before caring for them, I take time to learn their routines, preferences, and any special needs, so I can follow your instructions and keep things familiar. In your home, I respect your space and keep your pet’s usual routine, from meals and walks to litter care and favourite resting spots. In my home, I focus on helping them settle in comfortably, with introductions and time to explore at their own pace. Walks, playtime, and outdoor adventures are always suited to your pet and the weather, with plenty of rest and affection along the way. I’m also happy to share photos and updates so you can see how your loved one is doing.
“Michaela did a wonderful job watching our two rescues for a day. This was their first stay with her and I would love to book a stay with her again in the future. She sent photos and put my mind at ease as I was worried about how my dogs would do, everything went perfectly! I couldnt be happier with today's visit. Thank you Michaela!”

“I had a great experience with Alissandria! They were so kind, communicative, and incredibly flexible with my schedule, which I really appreciated. My dog seemed happy, relaxed, and well cared for when I got back. I’ll definitely be booking again. Highly recommend!”

About: I’ve been caring for dogs since I was young, helping neighbours, friends, and family by walking, feeding, bathing, and giving lots of love and attention. Pet care is naturally part of my routine. I can set aside time each day for feeding, walks, and play to ensure pets stay healthy, active, and well cared for. In my home or a client’s home, I make sure pets feel comfortable and cared for. I follow their usual routines with feeding, walks, playtime, and rest. I also provide plenty of attention, keep their space clean, and ensure they feel safe and happy while their owners are away.
About: I was a dog runner in NYC for 2 years, I grew up with a hunting dog, I've had multiple Chihuahuas as pets. I also have tended to all my dogs needs, included bathing and nail trimming. I enjoy all dogs company! I am a stay at home parent, so I take my dog out at least 3 times a day. I can accommodate your furry buddies schedule easily throughout the day. We have a trail through the woods to walk around as well. I have a 5 acre property with no neighbors, I also did house sitting in NYC so I follow whatever instructions are needed to make your pet as comfortable as possible.
About: Hi there! I'm Caitlin, and for the past 13 years, I have gained extensive education, training, and experience with all types of animals. I have been with Rover since 2014 and have had over 190 clients through the years. As a proud professional, the experience under my belt includes: - Solo management of a small, rural cat shelter - Behavioral and adoption staff at a large urban animal shelter - Dog and cat training - Fear free certification - Management staff for boarding and daycare - Professional bathing/grooming - Exotic animal handling - Bachelor's degree in Animal Behavior Besides my professional experience, I have been a pet owner my whole life - dogs, cats, and exotics included! Right now - I have four beloved cats. ** Currently, my preferred clients are cats, small dogs, seniors, and more relaxed pets. I am not suited to care for strong, energetic dogs who need extensive exercise. ** In-home boarding and dog daycare are services I vet very extensively and am particular about due to my cats. While I do offer the services, it is always better to choose a house sit/drop in visit with me instead - these I can be much more flexible about. Some other services I provide beyond the basics include: - Wedding pet care and assistance - Pet transportation - Travel pet care and assistance - and more! I am a FULL TIME pet sitter! While some others may need to step out for a full work day, I commit my time to YOUR pet(s) and YOUR pet(s) only - which sets me apart from other sitters. You may see that my husband, Josh, is also on my profile. He will occasionally help me with some services, but I am the primary sitter. I will always let clients know if he is going to be present for any services. Safety for pets and myself is and always has been my top priority. I am proudly fear free certified and have worked on extensive safety training measures in all of my professional working environments. I know how to use all types of equipment (leashes, collars, harnesses, e-collars, etc) with ease.
About: Growing up we always had multiple pets and u currently own a feline best friend named Carlos! I am more than comfortable performing any sort of dog care!

I am happy to accommodate any sort of service for your dog. Just give me the details upon booking and I will ensure your animals are cared for!

About: I’ve always loved dogs and treat every pup like family, providing safe, reliable care, fun walks, and lots of love while you’re away. I have a 1.5 year old mini goldendoodle who loves new friends and is friendly with other socialized dogs 🐾 I work from home, so your dog will have plenty of company and attention throughout the day. I have a fully fenced yard for safe outdoor play and can provide morning, midday, and evening walks, weather permitting, while maintaining your dogs usual routine as closely as possible. Your dog will be welcomed into my home like family, with plenty of love, attention, playtime, and a comfortable place to relax. I’ll follow their usual routine; provide regular potty breaks, walks, meals, fresh water, and lots of cuddles and companionship. I only host one family’s dog at a time, alongside my friendly mini goldendoodle, Cooper, to ensure every pup receives plenty of love, attention, playtime, and personalized care in a calm and safe environment.
About: I’ve always had dogs in my life since before I can remember! I have been trained by the local humane society for dog walking and care. I currently do not have any animals in my house but always am open to have a friend stay over! I always grew up with animals and live with my two best friends who are just as animal loving as I am! I work 8-4 Monday through Friday but am only in the office Tuesday/Wednesday/Thursday. I am available really whenever and can always stop in throughout the day if neededtkk. I am up early almost everyday and am super flexible with whatever! I have a fence at my house that is closed off from any road area. I’m super active and love being outside.

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 Collins 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 Collins.
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 Collins 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.
