“Timmy, our pet, had a great experience with Brad and Mery. They treated him as if he was their dog. I would highly recommend them. I thank them for taking great care of Timmy.”
“Jennifer was amazing. I can’t say enough good things. She treated my pup like one of her own and I am truly grateful. Leaving and being away from your pup is an anxiety inducing experience, but Jennifer took such good care of Cadbury and was so incredible at keeping me updated that I didn’t have to worry and was able to focus on my conference instead of worrying about him. And she also kept Cadbury entertained and engaged so his mind was on whatever thing was going on at the moment which I was glad for Her dogs welcomed Cadbury to their pack which I was also incredibly appreciative of. I am so glad he has new friends that I look forward to him spending more time with them. Jennifer, her mom and their pack were amazing and so glad it worked out the way it did. I’m sure I’m missing things but they were amazing and look forward to Cadbury’s next experience there and so glad to know I have a place I can trust. Thanks Jennifer!”
“Christopher and Chelsea did a fantastic job caring for my big and energetic dog! They were friendly, professional, and experts at what they do. I would recommend them to anyone. Thank you so much for caring for Wyatt. I am so grateful to have found Tumbaros Clubhouse and look forward to using your services again.”
“Wife was very nervous leaving her baby with someone new while we went on vacation. Cache was wonderful with daily updates and pictures/videos. Would definitely recommend her and be a repeat client.”
“This was the first time I have left my Westie in 9.5 years. Debbie was very easy to work with and Lady settled in quickly and was very comfortable with Debbie and her dogs. She has a great fenced yard and sent pictures throughout the weekend to keep us informed. I highly recommend Debbie and will ise her again.”
About: Hello! I am 32 and a lifelong dog & cat mom. I currently have 1 big dog and 3 cats. I have been dog sitting for friends, family, and clients for as many years as I can remember. I’ve been an animal lover since I was old enough to know what an animal is. I’m comfortable walking large and reactive dogs, administering meds, cleaning litter boxes, and any other services you may need. Feel free to send a message to see if I would be a good fit for your fur family I work on weekdays from 10-6 pm, so I have plenty of time in the mornings, evenings, and on lunch breaks to give your furry friend loads of attention and exercise. Pets in my home are allowed on furniture and are allowed to sleep in the bed if they like to. We have lots of toys (for both dogs and cats) and enjoy lots of walks on the nearby walking trail.
“Kevinh was fantastic! He gave adequate updates on Zula and sent lots of cute pictures. Drop off and pick up was a breeze and he responds to messages quickly. He’s also very flexible if you have travel delays. I could tell that Zula was very comfortable around him. I would highly recommend.”
“Maggie took both my pups with wildly different personalities and they had the BEST time. They immediately took to her and my older Pom with separation issues happily followed her into her home without a backwards glance. After the first check-in my dog mom worries were put at ease and we were able to enjoy our weekend away. I can even swear the pups came back getting along even better!! Will definitely book her again!”
“Amy was incredible. She sent me updates, was kind, flexible, and treated my puppy very well. Her home is in a safe neighborhood and has a great setup for pets. I have nothing but wonderful things to say about Amy and her care.”
“Victoria was super attentive and sent tons of pictures of our cats while they stayed with her. They had a great time in her super cat friendly apartment and even discovered a new toy they love (just ordered it for them at home). Would definitely recommend Victoria and will be rebooking with her in the future if we need to board the cats again!”
“My pup just had the absolute best time at Gillian’s! She has so much energy I didn’t think it was possible for her to ever be tired but she slept for about 3 days straight after her stay!”
“Alyson was wonderful! She was very patient with my dogs, even when they got nervous and peed on her floor. They quickly warmed up to her and her dog, and from the photos she sent, it was obvious they were having a great time. I will definitely rebook with Alyson.”
About: I’ve been around dogs most of my life. I enjoy taking care of animals. I am very attentive and will take care of your furry friend like they were my own. I’m currently freelancing and have my schedule pretty open so your fur baby will have plenty of attention. I will do what ever it takes to make your dog feel comfortable and cared for. I have a fenced in back yard. And quiet low traffic roads around me for walks. We have had 2 dogs previously who are in doggie heaven now. We miss you Minnie and Bentley.
“Jayla was so great! She was incredibly responsive and provided helpful updates. I felt so comfortable leaving our pet with her. You could tell she really treated our dog like he was a part of her family. We will definitely be rebooking with Jayla in the future. Highly recommend!”
“Omg, we’re so thankful for Geena! Story time, so our previous sitter was unavailable but the app said she was available (technology lol). So we were worried because we didn’t have a backup plan and we needed a sitter for my grandma’s funeral. Geena was so helpful with last minute arrangements and made us feel so comfortable with leaving our fur babies for the day. She responded to all my messages, questions and even sent pictures. We were able to attend the funeral with no worries and even booked her again for our vacation. I would definitely recommend using her and we will continue to book with her. Thank you again 💜🫶🏾💜”

Absolutely amazing people!! i love taking my pup here anytime we go on vacation, i never have to stress if my pup is happy. they constantly send updates, the communication is absolutely amazing. the love they have for these pups are beyond. they’re truly the only people i trust with my baby. I Highly recommend chelsea and will forever recommend her!!!
We were *very* happy to find Diane and John for a 10-night stay when we found out on short notice that the sitter we booked months ago was no longer available. They have a great setup for their own three dogs, they only take in one dog at a time, someone is usually home, and the dogs are allowed to sleep wherever they are comfortable. This is exactly what our Beagle is used to; and having 3 sweet dogs (all age 14) to socialize with was something she needs to do more often. Diane and John obviously love and take great care of their own dogs. Highest recommendation! We will certainly book again whenever our regular sitter is not available.
Kristine & Robert were great with our Gus! They took the time to meet and make sure he would be comfortable with their dog in advance. I truly left him and was so comfortable and trusted them completely. We received regular updates which made it even better. Would highly recommend to anyone looking to board their pet!
Kaitlin, along with her crew of kids and kitties, were absolutely fantastic. My dog had a wonderful time there, and I know made fast friends with everyone in the house. You can tell from the moment Kaitlin meets your pup how comfortable she is around dogs, and especially for a sensitive pup like mine, she made us both feel like it was going to be a great match. During my dog's stay at her house, I got lots of photo and video updates, my dog got lots of great outdoor time, and Kaitlin was also super flexible around me coming by to pick up my doggie at the end of it, which was really helpful because my flight got in sort of late! Would definitely ask her to pup-sit again.

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.

A Meet & Greet is a casual meeting to vet potential sitters and communicate care needs for peace of mind before a booking begins. Only sitters who have never booked with you before can schedule a Meet & Greet on Rover; however, you are welcome to coordinate one in Rover messages with sitters you have previously booked. This can be helpful if you have a new pet or routine you want to go over with your sitter.
Meet & Greets can take place in person or virtually. If you are booking with a sitter for the first time, we recommend in-person Meet & Greets to get a clearer sense of how your sitter interacts with your pet or the new environment.
During the Meet & Greet, you will have a chance to walk through your pet's routine, medical needs, and unique quirks. Take the time to ask your sitter questions about their skills and expertise, and make sure the fit feels right for everyone. Meet & Greets are a great way to prepare your pet and sitter for longer stays or first-time bookings. Read our tips for your first Meet & Greet .
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. Cats may be required to have Feline Viral Rhinotracheitis and Rabies up to date.
By discussing your pet's health history early, you’re adding a layer of confidence for you and your sitter before the booking begins.
Emergency support is available by phone or email in English 24/7. When an incident occurs, we recommend that sitters contact our Trust & Safety team immediately so that they can connect your sitter with a board-certified veterinarian or offer other resources to help.
If a sitter needs to cancel at the last minute, Rover’s reservation protection means our team will work with you to find a suitable replacement as quickly as possible.
