“Took excellent care of our dog. Was very accommodating with the time. Great outdoor space and very friendly well behaved dog also there. Would definitely recommend and use again!”
“Courtney is fantastic. She is clearly extraordinarily knowledgeable and is extremely adept at making dogs feel comfortable in her home. This was Chauncey's first extended boarding stay and she ensured that he was very comfortable and happy the entire time. Courtney is quick to respond to messages and was very flexible when it came to drop off/pick up times. I cannot recommend Courtney enough to anyone looking for a reliable, dependable, and courteous sitter!”
“Anthony did a great job taking care of my pup. She can be shy and fearful in new situations and Anthony did a great job to keep her calm and comfortable. She enjoyed playing with his dogs, Yoki and Canelo. I enjoyed receiving updates and pictures of my pup while I was away which helped me feel at ease. Anthony is calm, reliable and welcoming. I plan to use his services again when I need them.”
“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!!”
“Mindy and her family were wonderful with my Livi! I was able to enjoy my vacation knowing she was loved and cared for. I highly recommend Mindy and will definitely use her again!”
“This is my second time using rover and find it a little scary how my ludo will react to being in a different household with other dogs and cats. Miranda was very reassuring and sent me more than enough pictures of how well ludo was doing when getting comfortable in a new environment. I highly rec booking with Miranda as she is a great care taker! Could not be happier that ludo was watched with such care!”
About: Recently lost my 14 year old corgi named Penny. The house feels very empty and since I’m not looking into getting a new dog I thought dog sitting would be a nice option to try. Fenced yard, hardwood floors, easily divided up rooms if needed. I work Monday - Thursday 7:30-5 but if needed would be able to come let a dog out during lunch. I love dogs and would treat any animal as if it was my own. I work Monday - Thursday 7:30-5. Able to come home during lunch to let a dog out if needed. My evenings are very open and can be dedicated to the dog I am watching. Fenced yard, no children or dogs in the home. There is an inground pool but dogs will be monitored. No neighbor dogs on either side to cause dog stress or barking
“This was our first time using an app and having a stranger watch our dogs. It was the best decision we could have made or else we never would have met Kim! Kim was knowledgeable, warm and friendly to us and especially our dogs. She made us feel extremely comfortable and confident to leave our dogs with her and her family for 2 days. She retained everything we told her about the dogs, sent pictures and updates. Wonderful first experience!”
“I had a fantastic experience with Carol. She took excellent care of my two dogs, providing constant updates that kept me at ease throughout. Her attentiveness and communication made the entire experience comfortable and worry-free.Highly recommend! A wonderful setter.”
“Kendra was wonderful! Very communicative before booking and during the stay. Sent us lots of photos and updates. Dogs had a great time, briefly acknowledged us and immediately went to bed snoring away. Would definitely book again.”
“Leaving our dog with Francis and his wife was such a great experience! They were very accommodating with our schedule for drop off and pick up, even when we were delayed due to weather and traffic. Our dog had an amazing time and got along well with their dog. We got several pictures and updates which put our mind at ease as this was our first time using Rover. Would highly recommend and definitely plan to use again.”
“Kiara & Yves, did such an amazing job with my little kitty. She was so well cared for and the sitter was super responsive sending many nice updates and photos of Lottie. I would recommend their services to anyone who was looking for a sitter!”
“I was so nervous, using someone other than our "regular sitter" for the first time. But Erica quickly exceeded all expectations. She sent an update with multiple pictures each day, was incredibly attentive to our senior dog's medical routine, and loved on our boys as if they were a part of her own pack. I'm so grateful to have found her and have already rebooted with her for our next vacation. Erica, you're the best! Thank you for making sure my dogmom heart was at ease while hubby & I were away from our babies.”
“Alena is great with our 2 pups. In all their pictures they look happy and are enjoying their stay. We wounder if they like it there so well that they might not want to come home. But no worries, they were very happy to see us. We recommend Alena & Regina to any one who needs to board a dog.”
“Crystal was great with our dogs! It was our first time using this site and having dogs away from home but she made us feel so comfortable and reassured us that they will have above and beyond what they need. She sent us pictures and updates regularly which made us feel even better! I highly recommend Crystal!”
“I felt very comfortable leaving our boy with Racheal. Our dog is a bit anxious but settled in quickly with her fur babies. She communicated with us throughout the week and sent us a ton of pictures. I definitely recommend her.”
“Jin was wonderful!! She took in both our girls. We have two Rottweilers, both over 100 lbs. they loved Jin, and made themselves right at home at her house. She sent daily pics, and updates on how they were doing. Will definitely be booking Jin again.”
“We could not speak more highly of our experience with Mike. This was the first vacation we had taken without our dogs and we were very nervous, but Mike quickly made us feel at ease with the daily communication and photos of our boys. We instantly knew they were good hands, which made our vacation that much more enjoyable. We are extremely greatful for a wonderful experience and will definitely be utilizing Mike in the future.”

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 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.
