“Beverly was great! She sent several pictures of Lucy throughout the day. Very good communication. Lucy had a great time because she came home exhausted. Would definitely have Beverly watch Lucy again when we need a pet sitter.”
“Jenn and Brian were wonderful with Mika. They treated her as she was one of their own. Spoiling her with treats, love and affection. I would highly recommend booking with them.”
“Julie and Noah took great care of my two dogs. They gave me regular updates and pictures. I know they were in a loving, caring home while I was away and were treated like part of their family.”
“Melissa and Gregory were incredible! This was our first time using Rover and they put us immediately at ease. They welcomed our rambunctious puppy into their home with open arms, making us feel confident that he would be well taken care of. He had some tummy troubles going on when we had to leave and they were so understanding, telling us not to worry. He made a mess in his crate one night because of this and they were so understanding, not bothered at all. They cooked up his brat diet (ground beef and rice) for several days until his stomach was working better. Leo came back to us healthy and happy. I highly recommend Melissa and Greg - they are just super!”
About: As a fellow pet parent, I know how much trust it takes to leave your dog with someone new. That’s why I treat every pet like part of my own little furry family—warm cuddles, silly moments, and all. Your pet’s happiness and comfort mean everything to me. I’m available for boarding pet care on the weekends mainly. Also, open to be flexible and accommodate special requests. Please message me with your questions. I have a smaller fenced yard for quick potty breaks throughout the day and take my own two doggies for regular walks in the neighborhood as well. A minimum of 2x per day, rain or snow.
“our Boxer Rudy had just had a procedure and needed special care and is still being house trained. Mindy was awesome. She sent us pics, video and updates of him as well as gave him his medication. She gave us tips for socializing him and was very patient with him. I can tell he had an amazing time and will definitely let Rudy board with her again.”
“We were traveling out of the state and needed someone to take care of our 2 dogs while away. Just a quick weekend trip. I'll just say Monica is truly amazing. She took very good care of them. Playing and lots of cuddles. She sent daily updates with pictures and was so attentive to them. Always mentioned how they were doing and eating. I will definitely keep her as my repeat for any future vacations or quick getaways. Thank you again Monica!!”
“This was the first time our 15 month mini Goldendoodle was away from home overnight. I worried for nothing as Stacey provided a loving fun experience for our Lucy! She stayed 2 nights and we booked another 2 nights for next month! Our Lucy is a bundle of energy and Stacey has 2 dogs of her own that played with her. We feel so lucky to have found Stacey!”
“My puppy was so happy at Courtney space! And I appreciate Courtney was doing a wonderful job sending me photos of my puppy. I will definitely reach out to Courtney for taking care of my baby doggie again. 100% recommend her!”
“Charlette is very kind and caring, she will take care of your fur baby as if it was her own. She communicates quickly and often, leaving you no doubt about the situation. I'm not sure how I could give her a higher recommendation, but if I could, I would!”
“David and Cathy and were wonderful, they very friendly and appeared to genuinely enjoy caring for our 14h month old border collie. They sent regular photos and provided long walks and plenty of play time with their pet pug Sadie in their large back yard. We will definitely be arranging future visits and highly recommend.”
“Carol has had our dog three times in the last 2 mos and has done a wonderful job caring for our human touch addicted pet! Carol made her special food and was constantly with the dog ; literally side by side . Thanks Carol!”
“My two guys were well taken care of. Very friendly host and sent us pictures while we were away. Even let us know when our dogs weren't eating that much and offered to buy wet dog food to mix in with dry food. Will use them again!”
About: I tailor my services to each furry friend’s individual needs, temperament, and energy level as every pet is unique. I like to ensure every walk or drop in visit is tailored just for them. Whether it’s a leisurely stroll, energetic play, relaxation, or special needs care, your pet should receive the focused attention they deserve! I pride myself on being dependable and transparent, keeping you informed every step of the way. I can send updates and photos at your request to reassure you about your pet's care. I offer convenient and flexible scheduling options, including last-minute bookings or early/late walks. My focus is on your pet’s safety and clear communication with you! I am dedicating my non-working days to meet your pet care needs. These times include mornings, afternoons and some evenings. Please check out my calendar for availability! I do not offer services in my own home at this time as I personally have 3 dogs and 1 cat. I can however provide extra leashes, waste bags, and water as needed. If you have specific preferences or needs for your pet, please don’t hesitate to reach out.
“Tanklin absolutely loved sierra. She showed and told me all about where my pup would be staying which is great, I’ve never had anyone do that before. She was so sweet and was very attentive. I am always nervous leaving him because of his medical issue but as I was telling her about it and about the specifics of his feeding, she was understanding and that was very reassuring. Her communication was wonderful, she sent plenty of messages with pictures and videos. I could tell he was genuinely having a good time. If I could give her 10 stars I would”
“Erica was amazing! She took the extra time to meet our dog and get all the information she needed before the booking, and her daily updates and pictures made our day! It made us so happy knowing that our dog was in a good home while we were away.”
“Sarah is great! She was available on short notice and took excellent care of my dog Maizie. Her little fur baby was also very friendly and welcoming, so Maizie had a playmate for the day as a bonus!”
“Our dog Astro has stayed with Courtney twice now. I could tell from the start that he was very comfortable in Courtney's home. She knows so much about dogs and animals, its very reassuring. She is super accommodating for drop-offs and pickups. The first time we picked-up Astro, he didn't want to leave! After this past stay he was very tired and sleepy. We could tell he had a great time playing! We will 100% use Courtney again!”

Stacey was super easy to communicate with and even allowed us to do a meet and greet with her dogs before we booked! Delilah was in great hands and we really appreciated Stacey being so flexible with drop off/pick up given our travel changes because of the weather! We would definitely recommend Stacey and wouldn’t hesitate to leave Delilah with her again!
Melissa and Gregory were incredible! This was our first time using Rover and they put us immediately at ease. They welcomed our rambunctious puppy into their home with open arms, making us feel confident that he would be well taken care of. He had some tummy troubles going on when we had to leave and they were so understanding, telling us not to worry. He made a mess in his crate one night because of this and they were so understanding, not bothered at all. They cooked up his brat diet (ground beef and rice) for several days until his stomach was working better. Leo came back to us healthy and happy. I highly recommend Melissa and Greg - they are just super!

Rover makes budgeting the cost of Dog Boarding easy. As long as your dates and pet profiles are correct, the price you see before you book is the same price you pay for Dog Boarding. For more information on service fees, click here .

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.
93% of East Amherst 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 East Amherst 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 East Amherst 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 East Amherst.
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 East Amherst 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.
