“Michael was super responsive when setting up our reservation and sent pictures multiple times a day. We appreciated his kind and caring nature with of 6 yr old lab.”
“JD and his family took excellent care of my two dogs, Dot and Tot. They were caring, meticulous about schedules, and communicative to me throughout the weekend. Their house is located next to a large park with a variety of hiking trails - an excellent location providing plenty of walking and exercise opportunities. I highly recommend them and will definitely use them again when I come back up!”
About: We are the proud dog parents of our lovable goofball labradoodle Buddy. We have had him since 2025 via a rescue organization. Other than that, we have had dogs since we were kids and have taken care of friends and family dogs regularly. We enjoy taking our own dog out for daily walks and consider ourselves creatures of habit. Would be happy to take on dog walks or help take care of doggies while folks are out of town. I could take dogs on a set schedule or impromptu. We typically take my own dog, Buddy, on 3 walks per day! When we have additional free time, we love taking Buddy on excursions like to the beach, on a hike, or just on a car ride. Buddy always can use a friend in our home or on a walk! We have a fenced yard. We can handle most dogs and really love interacting with new dogs. We consider our dog as part of the family. Our dog, Buddy, pretty much gets along with any dog and would enjoy having a friend to play with!
“Absolute lifesaver! Not only was she able to care for Echo when a last minute emergency came up, she kept me posted on how she was behaving the whole time. My dog has anxiety and every picture I received made it clear Echo felt comfortable and safe. I'm super grateful for what she was able to do”
About: I grew up with many dogs normally two at a time. I grew up with a great pyrenees and bernese mountain dog. We have a french bulldog now and a pit bull so I am good with any breed!! My mom used this same platform to watch dogs for a while and i would help her! I am home for college right now, and am in desperate need for a job! I love dogs and animals and have always works extremely well with all sorts of breeds of dogs. I am available any time! I will follow every instructions the owners give. I will care for the animal as if they were my own and show them immense amounts of love and affection!
“Recommend 100%. Karly is very kind, wonderful with our Sheena and another dog in her care. Managed them both lovely and clearly has fantastic knowlege and care with taking care of both pups. Sheena looked to have a great time. Very appriciate of faboulous pictures.”
About: I’ve had pets of all kinds of decades - from dogs and cars and bunnies to chicken and horses and cows. I currently have my own to rescue fur babies - Paka a 13 year old tabby cat and Philo a 2 year old Bernese mountain dog. I’d love to help you take care of your pets as well! I work remotely and part-time so I like to walk dogs (any my cat who likes to join her giant little brother on walks) in the morning, at lunch, and in the evenings. I can’t board cats because my Tabby does not like other feline friends and I can only board dogs who are used to cats and okay with other dogs. Philo is very sweet and a gentle companion for nervous dogs. We take walks every 4-5 hours.
“Julie and her partner were absolutely amazing! They were communicative and attentive, took care of our dog like their own. They are great people who genuinely just want to make sure your pet is comfortable away from home! I can't recommend them enough!”
“Eric was flexible when we needed to make a scheduling change and very accommodating overall. We have one big young dog and one little old dog. Their energy and personality needs are very different, and Eric did a great job helping them both feel safe and comfortable - not easy! Communicative and kind, we are very grateful to Eric. Highly recommend”
“Colleen was great with my dog. He is blind so generally needs a little extra love and guidance. She did excellent with all of that, and he was the happiest guy when I picked him up. Would absolutely recommend her, and I would not hesitate to book her again when I am out of town.”
About: I grew up with 2 dogs, 1 that I raised from a puppy into her senior years and another adopted at 5 until his senior years. I have professionally dog sat little and big dogs while their owners were away. I absolutely love dogs, and now have a 1.5 year old Yorkie Poo at home who loves to play! I’m currently working-from-home and have the flexibility therefore to care for dogs and walk them whenever they need and they won’t be home alone! I can feed them, play with them, and walk them often and give them all the attention they need. We have one small pup at home right now that loves to play with other dogs! We have a multi-level apartment that can be utilized to separate the dogs if your pup prefers to sleep alone or wants more down time during the day.
“Janessa is a great sitter! We could tell from the initial meet that our dog was in good hands. She is a caring, wonderful person and was attentive to our anxious dog's quirks and needs. She made us feel at ease while we were on vacation by providing us with regular updates. Our dog loves to walk and she got plenty of exercise with Janessa which we know helped her be calm and happy while we were away. I highly recommend Janessa. We are looking forward to booking with her again for our next trip!”
“Harrison took great care of my dog Daisy while we were away for a week. He shared updates and photos and was super helpful about coordinating drop off/pick up - everything went smoothly. I would absolutely book with Harrison in the future when we travel; she had a great time!”
“Erica was wonderfully patient and kind with our elderly Chihuahua, Suzie, while we explored local attractions while traveling through the area. Suzie is typically anxious in new situations but she looked relaxed in the pictures Erica sent to us throughout her stay and was calm and happy when we picked her up. We are extremely thankful for Erica’s focused attention and compassion with our senior girl.”

Frequently asked questions about Rover
Rover is the largest marketplace for local pet care. Whether you're looking for pet sitters, dog walkers, or house sitters who specialize in pet sitting, you can narrow your search by entering your ZIP code to find sitters within walking distance in your neighborhood.
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.
Depending on the sitter, their home environment, and your dog’s needs, daily exercise 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 Elizabethtown home-away-from-home, 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 Elizabethtown.
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 Elizabethtown 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 , 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 .
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.
