“Clinton was great with our dog Otter! He was very accommodating, communicative and friendly. Sent lots of pictures and it looked like Otter had a great time. We would definitely use Clinton again!”
“I felt very comfortable leaving our dog with Blanca. She kept us updated with photos. Our dog stayed with Blanca for 9 days. I would definitely leave my dog again with her.”
“Cannot recommend Barbara enough for both overnight and doggy day care services!! great outdoor space at her home and located right near a phenomenal park where the dogs get to go on extra long walk with her. our dog always comes back happy, and tired from all the playing with her dog, Lou. Lincoln runs straight to her door when we got there for drop off and Barbara is super responsive + sends great pictures / videos the whole time we are away.”
“Diana and her family were great. They took great care of our baby and took her on lots of walks. Cali was a very happy girl. Highly recommend these people for taking care of your beloved pet.”
“First time leaving Toby with anyone. Must say we love Laurie, she keep instantly updating us with pictures. We felt secure at all time. If we ever need to leave our puppy Toby again definitely will be with Laurie. She is very loving and caring. Thank you Laurie!”
About: Hi all! I just recently graduated from Bates college and am looking to pet sit! I’ve been taking care of family dogs and cats my whole life, but have been pet sitting for others for about 10 years now. I am looking to go back to school in the future to get my doctorate in physical therapy, but in the meantime I’ll be home throughout this school year! I currently am working part time as a physical therapy aide. I am free on both weekdays and weekends, I just ask that you contact me in advance! On Mondays I work 2-7, and on Tuesday, Thursday, and Friday, I work 7am-12pm. I can stay in your home to pet sit, or I can make frequent stops to feed them, play with them, and take them out to use the bathroom! I am available for one day gigs or for long term!
About: Cary - 33, Conor 36. available to dog sit in Darien CT. Currently own a mini Australian shepherd named Rhett. Have both had dogs for the past 10 years. We have experience with puppies, high energy dogs, senior dogs, and dogs with special needs (medical issues, food aggressive, ect.) we’ve seen it all and love each and every one of them. I work from home full time and Conor works from home part time so we never have to leave dogs at home for an extended period of time. We have a yard that backs up to over an acre of open space which is great for dogs. But we always make sure to walk our dog at least twice a day on top of letting him out in the yard since he is very active
About: I bring more than 30 years of professional experience caring for and working with animals. I am internationally renowned for my work with dogs and chimpanzees. I hold multiple degrees and professional certifications in animal related fields. I am an Animal Behaviorist, Primatologist, and certified in canine rehabilitation, first aid and CPR. I am the founder of a non profit that provides wheelchairs for rescue dogs, Aprile’s Memorial French Bulldogs Special Needs Support Services. I have been entrusted with the care of dogs for many prominent families and celebrities who value my deep love of dogs and devotion to treating every animal in my care with compassion, patience and understanding. My days are devoted entirely to caring for dogs and meeting their every need. I enjoy making them feel everyday is their Birthday! I make every day count for every dog I am blessed to care for. I have a rescue French Bulldog Mildred. I have had French Bulldogs for 30 years before they were the most popular breed. I have a very diverse skill set caring for dogs with special needs and behavioral issues. Working with the rescue and rehabilitation of animals as long as I have allows me to not only care for dogs basic needs when they stay in my care but also allows me to offer them extra support in understanding their individual personality and behaviors. I am world renowned for my work in Animal Rehabilitation- for dogs and chimps.
About: I’ve been welcoming other people’s dogs into my home for more than 20 years. It started because I knew firsthand how hard it was to leave my own dog when I traveled. I wanted there to be another option for people like me—people who couldn’t imagine leaving their dog in a kennel but also weren’t comfortable having someone stay in their home. What began as something I offered to friends became something I genuinely love doing. There’s something very special about watching a dog arrive in an unfamiliar place, helping them settle in and trust me, and eventually seeing them stretched out on the couch or curled up beside me as though they’ve always lived here. I still miss them when they go home. I board dogs from only one family at a time because I want their stay to feel less like boarding and more like their own vacation. While they’re here, they live with me as part of my household. I work from home and structure my days around them, so they have plenty of companionship and frequent access to my fully fenced yard. I’ve cared for dogs of all sizes, from very small dogs to dogs over 100 lbs, as well as puppies and seniors. They’re welcome on my furniture and, if they sleep with their people at home, they’re welcome to sleep with me. I don’t routinely crate dogs, but I’ll maintain a dog’s crate routine if that’s what they’re accustomed to at home. I require a Meet & Greet before accepting a new dog because I want your dog to be comfortable with me, my home and my dog—and I want you to feel completely comfortable leaving them with me. After more than 20 years, the reason I do this hasn’t changed. I want you to be able to enjoy your time away knowing your dog is enjoying theirs, too—living in a home, getting affection and companionship, and being cared for by someone who understands just how much they mean to you. While your dog is in my care, I structure my days around them. I work from home, have my groceries delivered and generally don’t schedule activities that require me to leave them alone. There’s no rigid boarding schedule here—their normal routine becomes part of mine. Whether they want to follow me around the house, nap beside me while I work, play, cuddle or head into the fenced yard, they have companionship throughout the day. While your dog is with me, I treat them as one of my own, with the same love, attention and care I give my own dog. Before a dog stays with me for the first time, I require a Meet & Greet with my dog so we can make sure they’re comfortable together before you leave your dog in my care. I board dogs from only one family at a time, so there aren’t unfamiliar boarding dogs constantly coming and going. My yard is fully fenced, and while your dog is here, I follow your instructions for feeding, medications and normal routines. I don’t crate dogs unless their family specifically requires it as part of their normal routine.
“Kim was amazing! She eased any worries I had leaving my dog Duck for an overnight. Her home is super dog friendly, and she checked in regularly with updates and pictures. I will definitely leave Duck with her in the future. It is so nice to feel like I can go away again and not worry because I know he is in great hands!”
“Yenis exceeded expectations!! I was so nervous to leave my Charlie with someone he was unfamiliar with but he had the best time with Yenis and looked so happy and comfortable in every photo I received. We will 100% be using her for future stays 😊 Thank you, Yenis!”
About: Pets been a part of my life for as long as I can remember. I am a real dog mom and my family and I have been first priority for friends and family when a dog, rabbit or another pet were in need of a home away from home. We love animals. I am pretty flexible with my schedule and can usually move things around. (And if I can’t go my daughter at 16 will be happy to be there for you and your pet.) Our own garden is fenced all around and is a great playground for all dogs. I love to bring your dog here doing the day or I’ll just stay in your home with your pet.
“Stefanie was amazing - kind, patient and understanding with our anxious pup's first boarding experience ever, and a great communicator. She and her human and four legged family members welcomed our pup with open arms and helped put our mind at ease that our pup was in great hands. Would definitely recommend and we'd definitely book with her again!!”
About: I have always had a special love for animals and truly enjoy caring for them! I understand that pets are part of the family, and I believe they deserve the same love, attention, and care that they receive at home. What sets me apart is my patience, reliability, and genuine passion for making every pet feel safe, comfortable, and loved. Whether it’s going for walks, playing, or simply providing companionship, I take pride in giving each pet the individual attention they deserve. My goal is to give pet owners peace of mind knowing their furry family members are in caring and trustworthy hands! I primarily work from home, which allows me to have a flexible schedule and plenty of time to give your pets the love, attention, and care they deserve! While I occasionally need to go into the office, I am generally home throughout the day and can easily incorporate feeding, walks, playtime, and companionship into my daily routine. I enjoy spending time with animals and making sure they feel happy, comfortable, and well cared for! I know how important it is to feel comfortable leaving your pets with someone you trust. I will always make sure they are safe, happy, and well taken care of. I’m happy to follow their usual routines, feeding schedules, and any special instructions to make sure they feel right at home. I’ll treat your pets just like my own!
“Chelsea is a wonderful dog sitter!! She is prompt, responsive to texts and emails and is an absolute delight. She treated my dog like one of her own. Couldn’t ask for a better dog watcher. Will DEFINITELY call her again!!”
About: I grew up with a loved dog and spent countless joyful hours caring for, playing with and training her. In addition to growing up with a dog, I had the pleasure of intermittently watching my neighbors’ dogs for the past four years and each experience has deepened my love for our furry friends. You can trust that your pets will receive abundant love and attention while you’re away. Having navigated my own dog’s seizures, I’m well-equipped to handle any situation and comfortable administering medication if needed. I can clean up after animals in any regard and am comfortable bathing them if necessary. Your pets will be in compassionate and capable hands. Pet care is something I look forward too every day. Each day, I will dedicate specific times for walks, play and feeding, ensuring that your pets’ needs are fully met. While I work a full-time job, I am ready to accommodate my schedule during the week. I’m available for dog walking or dog sitting or cat sitting after 5 PM on Mondays Wednesdays and Fridays. On the weekends, I have even more flexibility, allowing for extended playtime and quality moments with your pets. I have no pets at home, creating a calm and comfortable environment for your pets. If it helps them feel more at ease, I can easily section off a room just for your dog or cat. I also have a long leash available, allowing for plenty of fun and exploration in a safe space. My goal is to provide a stress-free atmosphere for your pets. I’m more than happy to come to your home as well, ensuring they remain in a familiar setting that minimizes anxiety.
“We're so glad that we found Tanya! Daisy had a wonderful time, and I had a rare opportunity to meet a friend for a nice evening in New York City! We will definitely be calling on Tanya again. Highly recommended!”
“Hayden and Colin were so amazing when we needed someone last minute to watch our dog Mitch for a whole month. They treated him like one of their own dogs and sent us so many pictures every day of all their cuddles and play time. It was such a relief to have someone we could trust while we were away. They helped give his medication and manage his upset stomach. Mitch is already missing his dog friends and can’t wait to come visit again.”
“Eva was the prefect match for my Teddy very warm and caring. Always sent videos with his tail wagging, which means he was happy and that what matters the most. Definitely would recommend Eva to friends and family, she's going to be my #1 for when I have to travel in the future 😁😁”

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.
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.
