Dog Boarding Fordham

“Naomi was amazing! She was so communicative, comforting, and kind. She was ON TOP of things in every single way. I needed a sitter last minute about a week out from my family vacation. I was scrambling to find someone on rover and Naomi was available and excited to watch Genevieve! On top of that, Genny had a rough grooming appt a few days before dropoff, and got a corneal ulcer in which she would have to take eye drops and pain meds. Naomi without question agreed to helping administer them and make her comfortable. You can imagine how worried I was as a dog mom, leaving her with someone new and with a medical issue! Naomi made me feel so at peace leaving Genny with her. She's truly created a doggy haven at her place, with full range for them to hang out inside and out. I am so thankful I found her when I did, and that Genny had such a wonderful time! She was whining when we picked her up, she didn't want to leave! I would recommend Naomi many times over and would give her more than 5 stars if I could!”

“This was my first time using a pet sitter, so I was definitely nervous, but Jada did an amazing job with Rex. She kept me updated throughout his stay, sent pictures, and communicated any questions or concerns. When I picked Rex up, he didn’t even want to leave, which says a lot! I’ll definitely be booking with Jada again. If you’re looking for a trustworthy and caring pet sitter, I highly recommend her!”

“Essence is the best! I know my dogs are in great hands with her. She is always flexible with us, she sends us updates without us having to ask, my dogs are always happy when they leave her place. She is the best and I am so grateful for her. Xoxo thank you Essence.”

“5 STARS!!!! Victor is a loving and talented pet person. He saved me in a last minute travel situation! I have a big & powerful dog who is doing her best to be good & calm, but does not always nail it! He was AMAZING with her!! I could tell that she felt totally comfortable and loved the whole 2 weeks I was gone. He walked her a lot and was very understanding about her special attributes & need to destroy toys. She slept in bed with him & was allowed on the couch, which was really comforting for her. I booked him the day before I left town and he was professional, pleasant & flexible with timing. He obviously has a great connection with animals & is an overall lovely person to communicate with on the daily (he sent pics & videos everyday). This is the first time I have picked her up after being away that she is genuinely happy & chill. Def book him!! I have recommended him to my whole family & all of my loved ones who own dogs. He lives on a quiet street with really wide sidewalks, good if your dog has dog reactivity. Perfect experience from start to finish.”

“Ryan and Jefra are the best sitters any pets could ever have! Thank you for taking such great care of our doggos. Will definitely book your services again!”

“Yusuf was incredible! Best experience we've had on rover so far. He took care of frankie so well and provided so many updates and photos. She came home super happy.”

Jessica W.

“I have a sweet but anxious girl and she was very happy staying with Janise- I could tell by the videos she keep me updated with that she was happy and trusted her - I would highly recommend her and would rebook again!”

Jessica M.

“Adela is a fantastic, caring sitter. She took care of our cat Simon for more than a week and we felt so at ease having him in Adela’s home. Adela is thorough, dependable, and clearly made our cat feel so comfortable and relaxed. Thank you, Adela — looking forward to having you care for Simon again soon!”

“Anna was absolutely amazing with our husky during the two weeks we were out of the country. We have traveled quite a bit over the years, so Whale has stayed with a number of different Rover sitters and families, and I can genuinely say that Anna was probably the best person we have ever boarded her with. From the very beginning, it was obvious how much Anna truly loves dogs and how much she cared about making Whale happy and comfortable. She went above and beyond in so many ways — she bought Whale toys, took her on trips to Petco, and made sure she was getting plenty of attention, activity, and love. What I appreciated most was the communication. Every single day, Anna sent us pictures, videos, and thoughtful, detailed messages telling us what they had been doing and how Whale was doing. Being out of the country for two weeks, that kind of communication gave us so much peace of mind. We never once had to wonder whether Whale was okay or whether she was being well cared for. Whale very clearly became part of Anna’s family while she was there, rather than simply being a dog she was boarding. You can tell that Anna genuinely enjoys spending time with the dogs in her care, and that makes such a huge difference. We could not have asked for a better experience. Anna is incredibly caring, attentive, communicative, and trustworthy, and we would leave Whale with her again without hesitation. If you are looking for someone who will genuinely love and care for your dog while you are away, I cannot recommend Anna highly enough. Truly an exceptional Rover sitter!”

“Ria is amazing! She has been sitting my pup for the past few months and it's been a great experience. Harris (my pup) is always excited to see both Ria and her partner when I drop him off. Harris has also made a new best friend in her dog as well! 10/10 would recommend you trust your fur baby with Ria.”

Jasmine F.

“Auredy came through when I needed it the most. I had a last-minute cancellation, and I was stressing about finding someone to watch Romeo. They bonded well; Romeo spent a weekend with other pups and made friends. I am very happy with the service.”

Ana F.

“She was amazing. This was my first time using the service and she made it easy. We did a meeting amd greet beforehand which also went well. She sent me pictures everyday. Thank you so much”

“Barri, is awesome she’s very knowledgeable and caring. She keeps you updated and makes you pup comfortable while you’re away. I will use her every time!”

“I had an exceptional experience with the Rover dog sitter who took care of my two-year-old pup, Momo. Despite unexpected nighttime anxiety, the sitter went above and beyond to ensure Momo's comfort and security. Her attentiveness to his needs and dietary restrictions was truly impressive, providing me with peace of mind. Momo's happiness radiated through the pictures I received during his stay. He looked joyful and content, which reassured me that he was in the best hands possible. The sitter's excellent communication throughout the process further heightened my confidence in her care. Overall, I couldn't be more satisfied with the Rover dog sitter's exceptional service. She managed Momo's anxiety with patience and care, attended to his specific requirements, and maintained superb communication. I highly recommend her to anyone seeking top-notch care for their furry companions.”

About: Hi! I’m Lizbeth, a lifelong animal lover and proud cat mom to my sweet girl, Minnie. I’ve also volunteered with several animal shelters, so I have experience caring for animals with all kinds of personalities—from the super social and playful to the shy ones who need a little extra patience and space. I live alone with Minnie, who is friendly, so I’m happy to offer boarding in my home in addition to pet sitting, walks, and drop-ins. Since it’s just the two of us, your pet will get plenty of attention and won’t be in an overwhelming or crowded environment. I’m comfortable with feeding, walks, litter box cleaning, playtime, and following whatever routine your pet is used to. I know how nerve-racking it can be to leave your pet with someone else, so I’m also more than happy to send lots of pictures and updates while you’re away! I graduated from NYU in 2024 and currently work in HR in Manhattan. I’m mainly available during evenings and weekends and would love to spend some of my free time hanging out with your furry family members. 🐾 I work Monday through Friday from 9:00 AM–5:30 PM on a hybrid schedule. On weekdays, I’m generally available for pet care after 6:30 PM, and I have much more flexibility on the days I work from home. I’m also available on weekends and can accommodate morning, daytime, and evening care. For boarding, I’m happy to coordinate around my work schedule and your pet’s usual routine. I live alone with my friendly cat, Minnie, so your pet will have a calm home environment with plenty of attention when I’m home. I know how important it is to feel completely comfortable with the person caring for your pet. I always follow each pet’s normal routine and any instructions provided by their owner, including feeding schedules, walks, playtime, litter box care, and any house rules. For pets staying in my home, I live alone with my friendly cat, Minnie, in a calm and comfortable environment. I would always make sure a visiting pet is comfortable around another cat before boarding and introduce them carefully rather than forcing interactions. I’m also mindful of doors, windows, food, and anything else that could pose a safety risk. When caring for pets in a client’s home, I’m respectful of both their pet and their space. I’ll keep you updated with photos and messages so you can feel confident that your pet is safe, comfortable, and getting plenty of attention while you’re away.

“Chris went above and beyond with taking care of Frida! He sent me so many cute photos and updates so I never worried during my trip that my dog was not only being well taken care of but was having a blast! He also made time to help train her with positive reinforcement.”

“Symone did a wonderful job of caring for Riley Parker and giving him all the attention! I had regular updates and felt fully comfortable with how he was being cared for. Would 100% have Symone watch him again ?”

Taris L.

“Byum Hee took such good care of our dog Otis that we were worried he wouldn’t want to come home, lol! She provided regular updates with photos, and we could tell she treated Otis as if he were her own. We (and Otis) are so glad we found her and will trust her anytime we need a dog sitter!!”
