“Michelle is amazing! We are new to the area and had a negative experience with a different sitter previously. I was so nervous to try someone new. We found Michelle and I am SO grateful!! I honestly think our dog didn’t want to leave her house. She sent tons of photos and updates. Our Great Dane is sensitive to new situations and will refuse to eat. Michelle waited with her during each meal so she would eat. She truly went above and beyond and I can not recommend her enough.”
“Krystal took wonderful care of our dog, Joules, while we were away for two weeks. We were initially nervous about leaving our older dog for that long, but Krystal made the experience completely stress-free. She kept us updated regularly, gave Joules plenty of attention and long walks, and clearly cared about his well-being. We came home to a happy dog and couldn't be more pleased. We highly recommend Krystal!”
“We boarded our dog with Dominique, and she was fantastic. She took great care of our dog while we were out of town, and sent us daily photos, videos and updates. She was easy to talk to, professional, and communicative. We absolutely recommend her and will definitely ask Dominique to watch our dog next time we are out of town.”
“Pamela and her family were excellent. Milo is a very energetic puppy and they took wonderful care of him and helped him feel comfortable. He was a little nervous at first and she did everything to help him adjust. I got tons of updates and pictures during my trip. They would take him out and give him all the exercise he needed. They treated him like part of the family. This was our first time using Rover and it was an excellent experience. She has excellent communication and quick response. I would highly recommend Pamela as a sitter and would use her again.”
“We just had Amy watch Nala for the second time. It’s such a relief not having to worry about the leaving Nala with Amy. We already knew Nala was in the best possible hands. Amy is consistently professional, communicative, and so clearly loves what she does”
“Ziwei was wonderful! She sent us photos of Frances every day and made sure not just that Frances’s needs were met but that she got ample attention, exercise, and play time too! I could not recommend Ziwei enough for dog sitting needs!”
“We had such a great experience with Sam! She took wonderful care of my dog for 9 days and made the whole process completely stress-free. This was the longest time we’ve been away. She kept me updated every day with messages, photos or videos, which really gave me peace of mind while I was away. It was clear that my dog was happy, comfortable, and well cared for the entire time. I truly appreciated her kindness, reliability, and attention to detail. I would absolutely recommend her to anyone looking for someone trustworthy and caring to watch their pet!”
“Erica was great. It was my first time leaving my dog with someone besides friends and family and she made the process easy and comfortable. She sent updates and pictures throughout the boarding.”
“I highly recommend Tanner for any dog Rover service. She did such a great job watching my pup! She was very flexible as far as picking up/dropping off my dog. I loved the daily updates and pics that she provided :)”
“Very happy with our experience with Katerina. She was kind, flexible, communicative and shared lots of photos of our girl Evie. Would recommend her to anyone looking for a dog sitter!”
“Kiersten and Casey are the best! Super accommodating. Just the right amount of pics and updates :) I knew my girl was in good hands the whole time. 10/10!”
“John was great! Remi’s first time in the city and she did well. She had her own little adventure while we were tourists for the day. John was attentive and responded quickly to messages. Remi had a great time with John.”
“Alicia was great! Our Maltipoo felt right at home with Alicia during our stay oversees. She’s great with communication and sends frequent updates. She also was able to keep our doggie for an extra day when our flight was delayed. Would def recommend again!”
“Exceptional Dog Sitter – Highly Recommended! We had our first experience today leaving my very anxious dog with Aritra, and couldn’t be more grateful for the care and patience he provided. From the moment we arrived, he greeted her with such warmth and understanding. Knowing how nervous she can be in new environments, he allowed me to stay until she felt comfortable, which made a huge difference. His calm and reassuring approach helped her settle in quickly, and it was clear he truly understands dogs and their unique needs. Throughout her stay, he kept me updated, which gave me peace of mind. When i picked her up, she was happy and relaxed—a true testament to the wonderful care she received. If you’re looking for a kind, patient, and knowledgeable dog sitter, we highly recommend Aritra! Already booked for tomorrow and next week!”
“Yolanda was excellent with our dog Egypt. I can tell instantly that Egypt would enjoy her stay. We got daily updates and a sample of her home made dog food when we picked Egypt up (Egypt made short work of the sample) Yolanda is highly recommended.”
“Mariela did a great job watching my 1 1/2 year old Shih Tzu on his first overnight stay away from home. She is great with dogs and is empathetic to their feelings.”
“John went above and beyond for me and my dog, Andie! Great communication, flexible, and thoughtful throughout her stay. She was so genuinely loved and cared for by John and his family. He even gave her a bath and blow dry. The love is real! I felt completely at ease knowing Andie was in such great hands. I will absolutely be booking with John again. Highest recommendation! ❤️🐾”
“Joey is an amazing sitter. We have had our pets at his place several times. Our pups are very comfortable and love spending time with Joey and he spends pictures daily. We’ll be booking again in the future!”
“Million thanks Samantha for watching and spending time with Fendi. I know she was in good hands because you sent me pictures, texted me and kept me in the loop along the way; I appreciate that!”
“Kristhel is absolutely fantastic! She is amazing with my Duke! He gets super excited to see her each time! And I always get the cutest pictures of my baby when he’s with her! Always a pleasure!!!”

I couldn't be happier with the care my dog received! She was kind, reliable, and treated him like one of her own. She kept me updated with photos and messages, which gave me so much peace of mind while I was away. It was clear he was happy, comfortable, and well cared for. I truly appreciate the love and attention she gave him, and I highly recommend her to anyone looking for a trustworthy and caring dog sitter. Thank you for taking such wonderful care of my boy!
Dayan is amazing she took care of my dog like it was hers pet every day I texts and updates of how my babe (dog) was doing and my dog is a rescue dog and he’s now a senior dog she took great care with him to the point where I felt comfortable while on vacation. Dayan is a great person thank you for looking after my dog max.

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.
