“Jocelyn took fantastic care of our energetic pup while we were on vacation. She was communicative and sent lots of videos and pictures. Our dog loved the amount of attention and exercise she got.”
“Rhinesca took great care of our guy while we were away. We received updates on his daily walks and he was so happy. We were worried he would not want to come home. In the future we will certainly book another stay.”
“Kiara was amazing with our golden retriever Kona. She sent videos and updates every day from their walks and playtime in her large fenced in yard. Kiara’s policy of dog sitting only one at a time ensured he had love and attention. He came back relaxed and happy, not stressed out at all. Kiara herself is warm and friendly, interested in hearing about all your dog’s foibles, and obviously a calming presence to dogs. We are absolutely going to use her again!”
“I was super nervous about leaving my Kenzo. It was the first time we did a vacation without him. Evan made me feel comfortable. He sent updates and pictures. My dog was whining when he saw Evan go inside so that’s a plus. I will definitely book Evan again when needed.”
“Luna recently stayed with Jennifer for 11 days and had the best time. Jennifer was so easy to communicate with and always quick to respond. She sent multiple pictures daily and provided frequent updates. I never worried while Luna was in her care. There is no question that I’d leave Luna with Jennifer again any time I am traveling - it’s her new home away from home! Thank you, Jennifer, for taking such good care of my Luna!”
“Raymond and family took exceptional care of Teddy! We appreciated the daily updates, photos and videos. He received lots of attention and adjusted very well to this loving family. We highly recommend Raymond!”
“incredible dog sitter! Puppies can be a handful, but he was so patient, gentle, and attentive throughout the entire stay. He handled the puppy energy effortlessly and kept me updated the whole time. I truly cannot recommend him enough and will definitely be booking with him again!”
“Karine is the best sitter I have used! She was very patient and took really good care of my nervous Aussie shepherd. Asked question to make sure she was always well taken care of and safe. I loved all the updates and pics of ruby playing and getting along with the family. I trust her and highly recommend her to take good care of your fur babies. Thank you Karine!!”
“It was a pleasure working with Matthew! He is an excellent communicator and was very flexible with our schedule. He took wonderful care of Summer, providing regular photo updates and real-time feedback that gave me complete peace of mind. I’ll definitely be booking with him again!”
“Kevin and his family were very sweet with my pup. She was nervous and anxious being away from us but they made her feel less nervous and made her stay as comfortable as possible. Highly recommended!”
“Janis was wonderful with Benita! She was super responsive, kept me updated, and sent videos, which gave me a lot of peace of mind. Benita is a shy puppy, but she looked happy and comfortable with Janis. I really appreciated her care and would definitely recommend her!”
“I did my research before choosing and selected William based on the reviews of his satisfied customers. William did not disappoint! He was always available to communicate whenever I wanted, sent videos of their walks, and followed my instructions for their care and feeding. A worry-free vacation for us and my dogs had a great time! 100% would recommend and use again!”
“Cathy was a great sitter for our three small dogs during our vacation. She has a nice fenced yard and sent frequent updates and photos of our pups during our trip. We definitely recommend her and plan to have them stay with her again in the future. Thanks Cathy!”
“Alexis was amazing and she was so thoughtful to send us videos during our time away from our pup, Rosie! The fact that she would be the one reaching out to us during our vacation definitely assured me that Alexis was taking great care of our Rosie. I would 110% use her again for our future needs!”
“Paola did a wonderful job of taking care of my 7 year old dog while I was out of town for about a week. I missed him a lot, but she was lovely to share updates and photos of him. I would definitely be happy to leave Tito with her again in the future.”
“Alarie and her family were absolutely wonderful with our dog. From the moment we met them, we felt completely at ease leaving him in their care. They created such a warm, loving environment for him, and it was clear throughout his stay that he was well cared for. Alarie was highly responsive and shared frequent updates and beautiful photos throughout his stay, which we really appreciated. We’re so grateful to Alarie and her family for treating our pup like one of their own. We would absolutely recommend them and would be very happy to have our pup stay with them again!”
“We are so grateful that Tracy was able to take care of Hank with a last minute boarding request. Ahead of Hank’s stay with her, we had a meet and greet, and Tracy welcomed us and Hank into her home and made sure Hank felt comfortable, letting him explore freely. We immediately knew he was going to have a great time with her. When we dropped Hank off, he got along right away with Tracy and her husband. They have a very nice and welcoming home, and Hank seemed comfortable from the start. He ate all of his food, was very active, and seemed completely at ease. Tracy was also very communicative throughout his stay and sent us pictures and updates on how Hank’s day was going, which we really appreciated. She was also very flexible with our pickup time. We had a great experience and would love to have her watch Hank again! I’m sure Hank would love that as well!”
“Valentina once again was amazing! She constantly sent us photos of our dog and updates the entire stay. It brought us so much joy knowing our dog was well cared for and comfortable! Will continue to use her as our main dog sitter when needed”

Evan and his family are a gem. If you are looking for someone to leave your pup with and know they will be loved and cared for in the best way possible, Evan is your guy. He is communicative, trustworthy, knowledgeable and responsible! He will keep you updated along the way. Ripley came home happy and smelling so good! Evan will be our go to anytime we need to book a sitter for Ripley! HIGHLY recommend!!!!
We had the best experience with Kaas boarding at Robert’s, would definitely do it again. We received updates of our boy and just felt like he was loved and cared for on his staycation. Big plus is that he has a lovely home/outdoor space and Kaas had two new friends in Arlo and Santi. Thank you ✨

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.
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.
94% of sitters in Dobbs Ferry can provide daily exercise during dog boarding stays. Depending on the sitter, their home environment, and your dog’s needs, this 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 Dobbs Ferry 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 Dobbs Ferry.
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.
Yes, you can find sitters who have experience with handling special pet needs in Dobbs Ferry. On Rover:
- 85% of sitters can help with special care needs
- 90% can help with giving oral medications or injections
- 94% can help with daily exercise
You can also find pet sitters on Rover who accept only one pet at a time, which is ideal for anxious puppies, kittens, or senior pets who move at a gentler pace. Some sitters will also list availability for 24/7 care, also known as constant care, in their profiles.
Use the search filters to narrow down sitters whose specific experience or environment meets your pet's needs. When reaching out to your sitter, outline your pet's care routine and use the Meet & Greet to walk your sitter through your expectations.
You and your Dobbs Ferry 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.
Adding another pup to the pack? Most sitters and walkers offer a reduced rate for additional dogs. You’ll find these exact rates listed under the "Services" tab on any sitter's profile. Since every dog is unique, final pricing may vary depending on the level of care required.
