“Marissa took in my elderly greyhound on short notice. He can be anxious in new places, but he looked like he was at home within 24 hours. The house is clean, safe, and accessible for dogs with mobility problems. Marissa herself is kind and responsive. The pooch and I were lucky to find her.”
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 work as an electrician during the day so I am available any time outside of 7am-3pm Monday through Friday. If the dog can make it through the work day, I am the perfect fit! 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!
“Daniela was awesome! First time leaving our dogs - not with family. She sent us lots of photos as we were nervous leaving them. We felt reassured when we saw them. It was obvious from the photos they were in good hands! Thanks Daniela!”
“We are so grateful for Genevieve and Alex for the great care that they gave Rascal. He’s a senior pup with special needs ( blind, meds, wobbly legs) and the patience, stimulating environment (including fun toys and walks), pictures, videos and updates put my mind at ease. I fully recommend Genevieve and thank her for treating Rascal like her own. I absolutely will book with her again!”
“Emma was amazing! She took care of our Great Dane, Max. In constant communication with us to let us know how Max was doing. Would definitely recommend this sweet girl to anyone who has a dog that needs looking after.”
“I’m so happy that I found Melinda! She took great care of Genie. Lots of updates everyday and always very responsive! Definitely would love to have her sitting Genie if there are needs in the future!”
About: I am an animal lover and have owned dogs for over 50 years. Additionally, I am extremely knowledgeable in dog behavior and practice pet safety. I am currently retired and have plenty of time to provide care, exercise and affection to each furry friend in my home. I am very flexible with my schedule and can meet the needs of most pets in my care. My home has a large, fenced in yard and it is free of objects which may harm pets. I provide constant supervision and practice pet safety at all times.
“This was our first time using Rover to find a non-family member to watch our dog while on an extended vacation. We have a young Australian Shepherd Mix who wants to be around (read: herd) his people so I was hoping to find someone who could take him into their home, rather than boarding him in a facility. Based on her profile, I felt that he would be in good hands with Ciara. From the initial contact to our meet-and-greet, Ciara put me at ease and was very open about her past experiences and comfort level with watching a high-energy dog like ours. Once on our trip, we received daily updates (with pics!) and it seemed to be going well for all involved. He was excited to see me when I picked him up, and when I mentioned their names later, he seemed just as excited as he was earlier, so I could absolutely see us booking Ciara again to watch our boy!”
“Courtney and Allan were so great with our dog, Oliver! Over his 3-day stay, they took him for many walks, gave him lots of cuddles and were very communicative and sent lots of photos. He genuinely looked at home with them and it was so lovely to see. I’m sure that Oliver is excited for his next stay with Courtney and Allan!”
“Sarah took great care of our baby fur Moka. She sent photos and update us regularly. It made our trip so much better knowing that Moka was being well taken care of. Thank you Sarah for your love and care of our Moka!”
“I cannot recommend Trisha enough! She took care of my dog, Stitch, for three nights and four days, and the experience was absolutely amazing from start to finish. From the moment I met her, I felt completely at ease she’s warm, kind, and clearly has a natural love for animals. Throughout the stay, Trisha went above and beyond to make sure Stitch felt comfortable, safe, and loved. She kept me updated with regular messages and photos. Her home was welcoming, and it was clear she had created a safe and happy environment for pets. When I picked Stitch up, he was happy, relaxed, and clearly had bonded with her. That’s all I needed to see to know I made the right choice. Trisha is someone I trust completely with my dog, and I’m 100% leaving Stitch with her next time I travel. It’s such a relief to have someone so reliable and loving to count on. Thank you, Trisha!”
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.
“Joanne P. was absolutely incredible with our dogs, Nala and Bella. This was their first time ever being away from us for an extended period (9 days), so naturally we were a bit nervous going in. From the very first meet-and-greet, though, any worries disappeared. Nala and Bella took to Joanne right away, which told us everything we needed to know. Throughout our trip, Joanne went above and beyond. She consistently sent photos and updates, which made such a difference in helping us relax and actually enjoy our vacation. It was clear in every message and picture that our girls were not just being cared for, but genuinely loved. When we came back, Nala and Bella were happy, comfortable, and clearly had a wonderful time. It’s such a relief to know we have someone we can trust completely with them. We couldn’t recommend Joanne more highly. She is kind, attentive, communicative, and truly treats your pets like her own. We will absolutely be booking with her again.”
“I would not hesitate to leave Buddy with Deanna again. Buddy got great care & loved running around the farm with Deanna’s dog Piggy. Much better option than kenneling. We had much piece of mind when we left Buddy, thanks Deanna!!”
“Max was fantastic! He was very responsive and he also sent photos and updates constantly, which I really appreciated. Chave seemed comfortable and well taken care of! Thanks Max!”
“I loved the way they treated my dog... excellent communication, lots of photos, and status updates... it made me feel like my dog was safe... I absolutely loved it and will definitely hire their services again.”
“Monica was wonderful with our dog Bella. We were nervous about leaving her with anyone, and she eased all my concerns we got constant updates and pictures.. Bella had a wonderful time with her. Would definitely use her again!”

The average cost of Pet Boarding in Derby is $27 per night as of November 2026. Most bookings cost between $25 and $35 per night. On Rover, sitters set their own rates based on factors such as their experience, the length of care, the number of pets, and your pet’s specific needs. As long as your booking dates and pet profiles are accurate, the price shown before you confirm is the total, including any booking fee.
There are 308 sitters on Rover for Pet Boarding in Derby. About 96% of Derby sitters can respond to requests in under 60 minutes. Whether you’re planning ahead for holidays, need last-minute care, or need same-day coverage for an urgent trip, you can message multiple sitters at once to find available care.
Once you find the right match, you can arrange a Meet & Greet to ensure they are a perfect fit for your pet’s personality before confirming.
If you would like updates while you’re away, you can discuss with your sitter how many or how frequent you’d like those updates to be. The Rover app allows sitters to send photos, videos, and messages about your pet, including how many pee or poop breaks occurred. You can message your sitter at any time through the app and our support team is available 24/7 by email or chat if you have concerns.
The personalized, in-home nature of pet care through Rover can mean more individual attention for your pet.
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.
