“Jennifer, Thomas and their girls took such good care of our pup. They sent frequent updates and photos throughout the visit, and we could instantly tell how comfortable our dog was in their home. Cannot recommend them enough!”

“Maria is so amazing- I cannot recommend her highly enough. My cat loves staying with her- she is so great with animals and really attuned to their personalities and quirks( my boy is obsessed with treats and trying to scam his way into a second breakfast). 🤣😂She was also flexible about extending my stay when my flight was delayed and I had to come in later than expected. Same with pick up😊”

“We had a family medical issue and was able to book Jacqueline quickly. Our dogs are both rescues and it matters a great deal to us who we bring into their lives. Jacqueline immediately made us, and our dogs, feel comfortable and within 5 minutes of being with them, our eldest was resting in her lap. Jaqueline sent constant photos and updates and we are very grateful to have found her and will for sure book her again. TY again, Jaqueline. That last note was from the pups!”

“We are so grateful for the amazing care you gave Cloud while we were away! You went above and beyond—keeping us updated the whole time and sending the sweetest pictures that truly put our mind at ease. It was clear he was in great hands. Til next time!”

“Nicole was so wonderful! She took the BEST care of Basil, who is an older dog with some health limitations (hard of hearing, hard of vision, etc). Nicole has a few older dogs of her own, so understood Basil's needs and was very attentive and loving with her. I would recommend to anyone looking for a loving home to board your dog!”

“Andrea is a beautiful, intelligent and compassionate professional. She cares about the animals she looks after while 'pet parents' are away. She reduces anxieties naturally by listening carefully and observing astutely. Hygge had never been away or 'boarded' for pet sitting prior to my experience with Andrea. At all times she was communicative, caring and purposeful in her interactions with Hygge, who probably worried about being in a new home away from home for a few days on many levels. My transportation plans were delayed due to a severe storm that prevented my scheduled pick up, and Andrea was patient, reasonable and loving during my own stress about being stuck in NYC beyond my control for the pick up of my dog after traveling for a few days. She worked with me every step of the way, and the boarding experience was a total success even with transportation issues. Hygge returned home happy, healthy, well-nourished and satisfied with renewed confidence in his ability to work with another lovely family in our sweet community in a spirit of trust and sucess. All in all, I would recommend Andrea to work with anyone who has pets they love and want to broaden the scope of their pet's world by allowing Andrea to work with them and care for them. Andrea also understands the complexities of rescue animals, and will work with you so all are informed and kept in safe environments that nourish everyone's positive potential. She is also very pleasant and loving. She is a talented professional and a local treasure to all who come in contact with her.”


“Victoria is highly sought after and now I know why! Not only did she make me, as Maks' mom, feel comfortable and answered all my crazy questions, she made Maks feel comfortable and right at home in her home! She has toys and a bed and they watched TV together and she took him on walks, all the while sending me pictures and corresponding with me about his well being - above and beyond anything I could have imagined. Her demeanor is calm, attentive, and she was patient with Maks and his anxieties, something that is very hard to find! She even offered advice and knowledge about some of his anxieties and what I can do, and what she can help with while he's with her. Victoria helped make the daunting process of leaving my boy with a stranger into an easy, breezy sleepover with a new friend! Thank you!”

“Nicole was amazing ! She was very responsive leading up to my dog’s stay and sent updates with pictures of my dog during the stay. My pet really enjoyed the beautiful outdoor space to play in and the well maintained inside space to wind down. I would book with her again ! Highly recommend.”

“Kristen was very accommodating and my pup seemed very happy in her home. My dog is usually very anxious at first but she calmed down quickly with Kristen and her sweet dog Jackson. Will definitely use her again.”
“Jane is such a kind, honest, responsible dogsitter! Our pup Holly loved staying at her dog-friendly home. The other pups there welcomed her into the pack and Jane was communicative with messages and pictures during the weekend. We highly recommend Jane!”

“David was a fantastic sitter! Went above and beyond for my dog the whole time I was away. Even took extra care to calm him during a storm. Kept in tofu the whole time and sent pictures. Couldn’t recommend more!”
About: I have spent my entire life surrounded by animals of all kind and have always had the love and drive to ensure they have the best life and experiences possible. This love and compassion has led me to volunteering at the SPCA for a number of months, which turned into working there for over 4 years as both an animal care attendant and as a veterinary assistant. In my time there, I have been given the most incredible opportunity to both care for and rehouse hundreds of animals and have even acquired a couple of cats along the way. I am currently in the process of opening my own dog daycare to provide a very loving, caring environment for the dogs to spend their day while their pet parents are away.
“Nardia was friendly, communicated well, and very flexible with my last minute puppy boarding needs! I needed a place for my puppy to stay within two hours for the night, and Nardia opened her home for my puppy and was patient and comforting with her. Highly recommend.”

“Brittany was wonderful with Cody. He is not used to be separated from us so we knew that he would be a challenge. I am happy with the treatment that Cody received and if the occasion occurs we will book with Brittany again.”

“Hila was an incredible sitter for our mini golden doodle, Duke, during our wedding weekend. We felt immediately better leaving him after watching him play with her dog, Ruby. He was so excited to stay with her. Not only did she watch him over the weekend and send us videos and pictures, but she also brought Duke to our first look so we could get pictures with him. She was fully prepared with treats, and was cool and collected, which was great on such a stressful morning. Thank you so much, Hila. We’re so appreciative!!!”

“Megen took great care of our dog Lotta. She has a fenced in backyard which was great so our dog was outside a lot and played with the other dogs there. Easy to communicate with. Highly recommend!”

“Morgan was great! I had a last minute trip and she accepted the booking even with short notice. My dog also seemed very happy in her care! She sent pictures and videos and was overall communicative. I would definitely recommend!”

“Miranda was lovely to work with for a five night trip. My pup seemed so comfortable and happy, she kept me updated and the process was so smooth! He can have some general and separation anxiety and Miranda was ready to manage anything that came with it. I will absolutely rebook with her in the future.”

Dog parents share their Rover experiences - Cottekill
We had a great experience with Kim! She was kind, patient and accommodating from the beginning. She sent regular updates and photos during our 4-days away. Our dog gets very anxious when we leave him, but he soon warmed up to Kim and enjoyed getting to run around in the park and snuggle up while it was cold out. We would definitely trust Kim again to take care of Bear when we need it.

Kimberly took excellent care of my little cavalier puppy Rudy🐶. It was his first time away from me and she updated me with messages and pictures. I was able to enjoy my trip knowing he was well taken care of with kindness & love. He bonded with her & I will definitely be requesting her services in the future!

Cassady had a great time at Gabriel's. He's got a great setting for doggies to romp around, or to lounge about if that's their preference. He kept us updated with photos and was so accomodating to Cas--she thinks all couches and beds exist for her!! We were here visiting family, and if we are back this way again, we request Gabriel to watch our girl if needed.

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 Cottekill 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 Cottekill.
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 Cottekill 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.
