“Laura was fantastic with our two boys! We were impressed from the very start. She did a great job handling the meet and greet, making sure the boys were comfortable in her home and around her family. While we were on vacation, she regularly checked in, sending us pictures and videos each day. I would highly recommend Laura. We will definitely be repeat clients!”

“Once again Eileen and her amazing family took care of my precious boy Kennedy. She was available last minute, in which I'm super grateful. Kennedy comes back home so relax and calm. I can say when I drop him off, Kennedy must of felt at home because went running and never looked back. Lol. Eileen always sends me reports and pictures. You definitely want to have her as your sitter for loved animal. I have a vacation coming up soon. I pray that she will be available.”


“We had the best experience with Martrice ! We received great communication and lots of pictures! Our boy suffers from separation anxiety and he thrived in her home while we were out of town for the week! Highly recommended booking! 😊”

“We loved having our dog stay with Kara! She sent plenty of pics while we were gone and did lots of fun things to keep him entertained. Her responses were quick and prompt and we could tell she loved having him stay with her and her dog. We will definitely be booking with her again in the future!”

“Tatyjana was honestly amazing l, I have never left my pup with anyone outside of my family and was so anxious hoing out of town for two weeks, but he had the absolute best time and recieved the best care! I was updated daily with pictures and my questions before and during his stay were met with quick and detailed responses. I am happy to find a new sitter for my baby and will continue to book with her!”

About: I've been working with, caring for and training dogs since 1993 when I got my first pup (an Old English Sheepdog) and read the Brian Kilcommons book "Good Dogs Great Owners". I've worked with dogs of many breeds, energy levels and ages. Trust your dog with someone who knows what he's doing. Fully fenced with two well-socialized house dogs to play with. I currently work from home part-time computer consulting/contracting. I have two dogs of my own so daily care of dogs is part of my normal routine. I provide calm assertive leadership and supervision. I provide exercise via walks or runs with the bike. I have walked as many as six dogs at once.
“Georgia and her husband were amazing! They treated Olivia like a member of their family. They sent daily photos, worked on training, went for multiple walks, and played with her all the time. I will certainly use Georgia next time I need to leave my puppy at home! Thanks so much!! 🐶❤️”

“Lauren was absolutely amazing with our dog Charlie! We felt very comfortable with her and it seemed like our dog had a great time. She was very communicative and sent us pictures that eased any worries. We will 100% use her again!”

“Noelle did an amazing job caring for our dog, Max, overnight! She took the time to schedule a meet and greet beforehand, which made us feel very comfortable and confident leaving him in her care. She showed Max so much love, patience, and attention, and it was clear she truly cares about the dogs she watches. I highly recommend her services and will definitely continue using her in the future!”

“Zach and Kristin were amazing with Shrek! They sent tons of great updates and photos throughout his stay, which made me feel so comfortable knowing he was happy and having fun. They were also super flexible with my pickup time, which I really appreciated. Shrek clearly had the best time because he came home completely pooped! I would absolutely recommend them and would happily have them watch Shrek again.”

“Richard and his family were absolutely lovely. Lucky was so happy when we picked him up, which made us feel reassured that he had a wonderful time. Thank you so much for accommodating our last-minute request. We truly appreciate it and would happily recommend Richard and his family to others!”

About: I’m an outdoorsy girl with a big heart for dogs and a love of adventure. Seeing them happy genuinely matters to me, and I’ll go the extra mile for a wagging tail—whether that’s a walk full of interesting sniffs, extra playtime, or quiet company. With so much nature around me, there’s plenty to explore. Sunny days or snowy ones, I’m happy to head outside when it’s safe, always keeping your dog’s comfort, routine, and energy level in mind. I treat animals like my own children. Your dog’s little quirks, favourite games, and need for reassurance matter to me, because I want them to feel loved and secure while you’re away. Spending time outdoors is already a part of my life, so walks, fresh air, and adventures fit naturally into my routine. When caring for a pet, I plan around their feeding times, bathroom breaks, exercise, and need for company. I make room for both the practical care and the little extras—playtime, cuddles, and time to settle in and feel comfortable. I care for pets like they’re my own children—with love, patience, and attention to the little things that help them feel safe. Before caring for them, I take time to learn their routines, preferences, and any special needs, so I can follow your instructions and keep things familiar. In your home, I respect your space and keep your pet’s usual routine, from meals and walks to litter care and favourite resting spots. In my home, I focus on helping them settle in comfortably, with introductions and time to explore at their own pace. Walks, playtime, and outdoor adventures are always suited to your pet and the weather, with plenty of rest and affection along the way. I’m also happy to share photos and updates so you can see how your loved one is doing.
“Melissa is the perfect dog sitter! She was super responsive, flexible with pick up drop off times, sent updates and photos through Charlie’s stay. She welcomed him into her home and even had a dog bed, water/food bowls for his use! She made us feel really comfortable from start to finish! Charlie takes 5 pills throughout the day and she was on top of it providing updates that he got his pill. Would 100% recommend Melissa, your dog is in great hands!”

“Very professional, warm and friendly. Rosie and Wilbur were well cared for and came home happy and rested. We will definitely use Andreas and Rover again .”

“This was our first time using Rover and our first time being away from our dog Nora, so we were feeling a little nervous. Naomi and Sam were the perfect choice. They were very accommodating and put us at ease with updates and photos of Nora and Brady having the best time together. We will definitely be using their services again.”

“Kelsey and her family were AMAZING with Buck! We got photo and video updates the whole weekend. She was very reassuring when I was so anxious about leaving him for the 1st time. Kelsey even slept with Buck on the couch his 1st night to help his restlessness. I really can't say enough great things about how awesome our 1st time using Rover and Kelsey was! Thanks again for being so great to our boy!”

“Alexa and Florian were awesome with Sophia. Really took a lot of stress off of my mind knowing she was in great care. The updates were much appreciated and Sophia had a great time. Thank you so much!”

Julie and Noah took great care of our pomski. He was so happy when we picked him up and Julie and Noah communicated the perfect amount during his stay with them. They even printed a beautiful picture of him that we plan to frame. Thank you for caring for our Cloud!

I am from out of state and Jenna was able to watch my dog during my trip, which was last minute due to my sitter canceling. Her and her husband were able to be flexible with me on drop off/pick up times as much as their schedule allowed as well and kept me up-to-date with how Phoebe was throughout my trip. Phoebe was very relaxed when I dropped her off and when I picked her up, which gave me even more confidence in the care they provided for her. Highly recommend and will be reaching out to them again if in need of a sitter in the area in the future.

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!

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 .
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.

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.
