“Dew is the most kind, und loves my dog like he belongs to her. I am so relieved he is with her as I am in bed with a broken ankle. I know he is so well loved and taken care of.”
“Lily always does an excellent job watching my dog Tito! She always sends pictures and videos of him hanging out peacefully with the other little doggos that she takes care of.”
“I was caught in a bind as I was moving and my current place had to cancel due to the weather. This is my first time using Rover and I needed to find someone to watch my pup. River is a bit reserved and can be very nervous. Pam is a life saver. She sent pictures throughout her visit and I was completely at ease during a very stressful move. I will definitely recommend Pam and will reach out to her again whenever I need a sitter for my girl. Thanks a million. You are the best!!!”
“We boarded our 8 years old foxhound twice with Farva so far. Zillow came back home happy and well rested. We are so grateful we found Farva. We will definately book again next time we are out of town.”
“Ryan EXCEEDED my expectations! He has an intuitive way with dogs. He is very knowledgable about dogs & dog behavior. Ryan is the real deal-- a true animal lover & kind, decent human being. He communicated well with pics and updates during my dog's visit. During our initial meeting I felt an instant rapport he had with my dog that put me at ease. His home is VERY dog-centric! The visiting dogs are not confined and are free to mingle and find their own place to relax. There are ample dog beds, couches, human beds and floor space for lounging and sleeping. I especially appreciate that Ryan limits the number of dogs he boards at one time to a very small group, & makes sure they vibe well together beforehand. The living space Ryan and his boarders occupy is all on one level, which is great for my dog with arthritis. There is a wooded trail for walks adjoining the yard, and a guest bedroom if a dog needs some quiet alone time. I would HIGHLY recommend Ryan and I plan to use him again!”
“We couldn’t have asked for a better dog sitter! Even with all the rain that week, Jomini and her family took wonderful care of our Bella, and made sure she was happy and well cared for. She also sent us pictures throughout the week, which meant so much because we missed Bella so much. We had complete peace of mind knowing Bella was in such caring hands. Thank you for taking such great care of our girl!”
“Robin is a lovely person who took excellent care of our dog. She kept us updated on everything and I could tell our dog was comfortable and relaxed when we returned. We will definitely be booking with Robin again!”
“Hazard took wonderful care of our boy Vinny! She was incredibly responsive, sent updates with photos regularly and most importantly Vinny was very comfortable staying with her and her family. We were so happy with the care and attention he received. We would highly recommend her pet sitting services to anyone looking for a responsible person- we were not worried at all while we were away. Hopefully we will be able to get away again for a few days-if so, Hazard will be hearing from us again. She was just wonderful- thank you Hazard!! ❤️”
“Ivon was the most perfect peace of mind. We’re new to the area and she helped us in a pinch. She communicated often — and with lots of photos! We never had to wonder what our pup was up to, the updates were so frequent and thorough. And filled his day with so many fun activities. We’re so grateful!”
“This was Phoebe’s second stay with Kevin. He took great care of her, and I can tell she’s always happy to see him. Kevin was careful to keep to Phoebe’s schedule, which I appreciate!”
“Laura,Carolina and Enrique were great, they were very informative with pictures and texts. This was my First time leaving stormy with anyone and they made me feel comfortable with there hospitality and vibe… stormy was very happy when I picked her up also. I would recommend and rebook again.”
“Nicole is absolutely the best! Not only is she warm, welcoming, and very accommodating, her veterinary experience and obvious love of dogs assures us that Bluebelle is in the very best hands. Her daily updates and pictures keep us posted on the great time Blue is having with Nicole and her family in their very dog-friendly home and backyard. The best endorsement of all, though, is Blue's excitement and crazy tail-wagging when we mention Nicole's name! Five stars doesn't begin to say enough!!”
“Kyle took great care of our dog. He was responsive and followed all directions we gave him about our slightly quirky pooch. We've already booked our next board with him! Thank you Kyle!!”
“Erika was the best. I am so happy I found her. i have been looking for a new dog sitter close to where I live to make it easier. Max seemed to fit right in and did well. He looked happy and content. There were a few other dogs there, but they seem to all have gotten along quite well. Very pleased and highly recommend her. I will be using Erika again in the near future.”
“We couldn’t have asked for a better dog sitter! From the moment we first spoke, it was clear that Joy genuinely loves animals and takes her responsibility seriously. She treated Bowie like a member of her own family, making sure he was not only well cared for but also happy, comfortable, and loved while we were away. Communication was outstanding throughout our trip. We received regular updates, photos, and videos that gave us complete peace of mind. It was obvious that Bowie was getting plenty of attention, exercise, and affection. When we returned, Bowie was relaxed, healthy, and clearly had an amazing time. It’s such a relief to know we have someone we can trust completely with him. Joy’s professionalism, kindness, and attention to detail exceeded every expectation. I wholeheartedly recommend her to anyone looking for a reliable, compassionate, and exceptional dog sitter. We will absolutely be booking with her again, and we know Bowie can’t wait for the next visit!”
“First time boarding with Randi and it was an incredibly smooth experience. Randi is extremely flexible and was a life saver for when we were away on a multi city driving trip. We were watching the weather in case we needed to abandon our plans and come back home mid trip. Randi was extremely flexible and accommodating and I am so grateful for that. Our dog is a picky eater and is also on some tricky meds…and Randi kept in touch with regular updates. She persevered with attempts to get her to eat both food and meds, until our dog did finally start to eat! Our dog came home happy and healthy! We will definitely board with Randi again!”

Every sitter on Rover has their own rhythm and routine, but most will follow the flow that keeps your dog happiest. Sitters can give meals on your dog's regular schedule, provide a comfortable place for sleep, and plenty of one-on-one attention.
95% of Cross River sitters also include daily walks in the neighborhood during dog boarding stays. You can also request photo and message updates throughout the stay so you can see which Cross River landmarks or neighborhoods your dog is enjoying.
If your dog is a little shy, consider booking a one-night trial stay! This practice run can boost your and your dog’s confidence before your trip.
Preparing for drop-off is easy when you have a checklist! To help your dog settle into their Cross River 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 Cross River.
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 Cross River 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.
