“We had such a wonderful experience with Sheila. She was incredibly sweet, attentive, and clearly loves what she does. Our dog absolutely adored her and was so happy and comfortable the entire time. We’ll definitely be rebooking in the future and highly recommend her to anyone looking for a reliable and loving sitter!”
“We are so grateful for Lynette! We’ve had her take care of our 5 month old yorkie poo twice now, once for a weekend and once just for the day. The true testament to how good she is with our pup was how excited he was to see her when she came back to pick him up the second time! Lynette has been on time, very good at comminicating how things are going, and sends pictures while we’re away. She also took Dobby for walks and sent us a map of where and how far they went. I definitely recommend Lynette, she’s very sweet and you can tell how much she loves dogs and knows how to train and care for them.”
About: As an experienced dog sitter, I stand out by providing personalized care tailored to each dog's unique needs. With a background in animal behavior and training and ensuring a safe and comfortable environment for your furry friend. I prioritize open communication and am dedicated to keeping you updated with regular photo and video updates, giving you peace of mind while you're away. Your dog's well-being is my top priority, and I strive to create a loving and engaging experience that sets me apart from other dog sitters. I'm currently working; however, I make my own schedule, so I have a flexible schedule and I'll have plenty of time to walk your pups! Your dog will enjoy a safe and trusting environment while in my care, where they will receive attentive supervision, affection, and all while talking a walk down memory lane.
“We are very thankful for Nicole’s help with our dog! She took her in for the weekend and Marcy spent the weekend with her and her dog. Marcy came back exhausted- which is always a good sign that she had a good time! Nicole sent me some cute pictures of their weekend as well. Nicole lives very close to us so we hope to have her dog sit in the future for us as well!”
About: I’ve had pets (dogs of all sizes and cats) my whole life and currently have two corgis. If there’s a dog or cat in a room, that’s where you’ll find me. I follow your instructions to a T because I believe the way you need pet care doesn’t stop when you leave for a trip. Also available for emergency drop ins and help, because you never know when life get crazy. Having pets myself, pet care it’s my routine! I focus my day around making sure pet’s needs are met, as well as try to go above and beyond to make them as happy as they make us. I follow your instructions to a T - if you need/want your pets cared for in a certain way, I’ll make sure that it’s done just as you need!
“Wow Wow Wow! This service far exceeded my expectations!! From the moment Tug & I met Josephine we were at ease. Josephine's kind & calm approach had us knowing she was the right fit for Tug. I truly valued the ongoing dialogue pre & post care and the booked afternoon allowed me the opportunity to know Tug was in perfect care in the perfect setting with the perfect sitter. Thank you Josephine & Thank you Rover..we will definitely use this service in the future and will highly recommend to friends & family!”
About: Hello! I’m so glad you are here! My name is Sharee. I am 23 and I just moved here to the Watertown area from Sarasota, FL; which is where I’m from. I became a pet sitter because I adore dogs and cannot have one of my own right now-- so I'm here to give lots of love and attention to yours! I've always been an animal lover and dogs have always been apart of our family throughout my childhood. Giving them the care they need and deserve is my priority and I will treat your dog like my own. I will take them on long walks (when needed), occasional park trips (if comfortable with) and make sure they receive the food, exercise and all the love they need. I've had many experiences with animals, including: 2 Great Danes, a Bichon Poo, a British short haired' cat, and I have helped raise and train two well behaved pure bread German Shepherds. Spending time with animals is something I genuinely enjoy doing and I guarantee yours will obtain nothing but the absolute best. I just joined the military and definitely need a reason to get off base and also make new fury friends here! Rover is a way for me to make additional income while doing something that brings me joy. My schedule is Monday- Friday but I’m expecting to have a lot of 4-day weekends. Your pets are your family and I understand what it's like to be away from them, even if you're off doing something fun. My main goal is to build a relationship with you and your pet which will allow us all to feel secure and connected. I will do my best to be attentive and communicative through pictures, phone calls etc. I look forward to meeting/ caring for your pets and making this a memorable experience for all of us! (I am available for Dog Walking, Drop-In Visits and House Sitting only) I am currently working full time Monday- Friday but am available around lunch time every weekday, after work during the week, and my weekends are completely free. I am available to walk your dog every day in the early morning, lunch time, and after work around 5pm. Additionally, I can also accommodate high energy breeds that need more than a potty walk.
About: I grew up with all sorts of pets from fish to hamsters, and horses. Dogs have always been my passion but I still have plenty of love to give to every animal. I routinely care for my own animals along with my sisters, as she vacations often. I’m currently a Stay at Home Mom to my 1 year old son. My days are full of love and laughter with a lot of snacking and a few naps. I like to keep our weekends free for family time. During the week is all about fun and learning for both my son and our animals. I always keep extra kennels of all sizes and styles for clients so they don’t have to stress about bringing theirs along. We currently have a 20x10 fenced area for the dogs to have potty breaks. I can also set up run lines for those that prefer the extra security of a leash or they can be hand walked. We also have 3 acres of open unfenced land that well-trained dogs can have access to after trust is built. There is a separate room in our home specifically for the dogs, where they can relax unbothered for a nap or just some down time.

You can message your sitter at any time through the app and our support team is available 24/7 by email or chat if you have concerns.
The personalized, in-home nature of pet care through Rover can mean more individual attention for your pet.
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.
100% of sitters in Fort Drum can provide daily exercise during dog boarding stays. Depending on the sitter, their home environment, and your dog’s needs, this 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 Fort Drum home-away-from-home, we recommend 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 Fort Drum.
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.
Yes, you can find sitters who have experience with handling special pet needs in Fort Drum. On Rover:
- 90% of sitters can help with special care needs
- 97% can help with giving oral medications or injections
- 100% can help with daily exercise
You can also find pet sitters on Rover who accept only one pet at a time, which is ideal for anxious puppies, kittens, or senior pets who move at a gentler pace. Some sitters will also list availability for 24/7 care, also known as constant care, in their profiles.
Use the search filters to narrow down sitters whose specific experience or environment meets your pet's needs. When reaching out to your sitter, outline your pet's care routine and use the Meet & Greet to walk your sitter through your expectations.
You and your Fort Drum 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 Rover Guarantee, 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 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.
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.
Adding another pup to the pack? Most sitters and walkers offer a reduced rate for additional dogs. You’ll find these exact rates listed under the "Services" tab on any sitter's profile. Since every dog is unique, final pricing may vary depending on the level of care required.
