“This was the 3rd time Samantha had watched picaboo, while we visited the Albany area. We trust her care, very much. So much so that we drove 4 hours out of our way, each way, so picaboo could stay with her. Since picaboo is only 4 months old, we wanted her to not be scared. She loves being with Samantha and pictures show her having a great time. I will always choose for her to be with Samantha if at all possible.”
“Timmy, our pet, had a great experience with Brad and Mery. They treated him as if he was their dog. I would highly recommend them. I thank them for taking great care of Timmy.”
“I cannot say enough good things about Brigid and her care of our Keely. She loved and cared for her so well that we never had to worry at all while we were gone. She sent pictures and gave regular updates. Highly recommend! We will use Brigid again!”
“Tatiana has been absolutely amazing!! Tucker loved getting to play with all his new friends over the holiday weekend! Tatiana sent lots of pictures and was very communicative!! Will absolutely be using again! Thanks Tatiana!!”
“Onyx spent a week with Mike. He sent us pictures and communicated regularly. Mike is very easygoing and made Onyx feel right at home. It is comforting to know that you can go away and know that your dog is happy and well cared for. Thank you Mike!”
“Sheronda and her family are awesome! They loved having another pug in the house. Elly loved having a pug friend and running with Molly as well as Chewy was great fun for her. We would highly recommend Sheronda as your next dog sitter.”
“We are repeat clients of Marianne and could not be happier. When we leave our dog in her care he is happy and very well taken care of. He gets lots of snuggles and treated as part of the family. I’d recommend Marianne to anyone!”
“Alex was WONDERFUL! He went above and beyond to take care of my 70lb foster puppy, Sony. Took him on long walks and to the dog park ?. He was also super helpful when I couldn’t get the crate into my car. He went above and beyond by picking up the crate and the pup at my apartment. Sony was so happy and relaxed when he got back home. I will definitely book with Alex again.”
“Christopher and his wife took great care of my Penny. She had trouble going up the stairs (she is 12 years old, which is a lot for a bulldog!), so Christopher actually carried her up after every walk (and she’s not light!). They sent pictures and updates every day, and just overall a very lovely and caring couple!”
“Emer took great care of our little dog. Her house and yard are well set up for dogs. She was easy to communicate with and a pleasure to deal with. My dog came home happy and relaxed.”
“Kaitlin is an accomplished animal caregiver. She treated our pet with great care. She also taught us many things about our pet , which was very helpful since we are first time pet owners.”
“Amy was wonderful with our puppy! She took great care of him and kept us updated during the stay. It’s such a comfort knowing he was in good hands. We’ll definitely book with her again.”
“Debbie was great! We left our 1st time boarder w/ her very last minute when our weekend getaway informed us they no longer allow dogs. I was SUPER anxious to leave her, especially w/ a "stranger", but Debbie sent me lots of updates & pictures to ease my mind. By the time we picked her up, her tail was wagging, her ears were up & she was visibly relaxed & happy. Debbie also has a great, fenced-in side yard for the pups to run around in. We will be trusting here again to watch Molly.”
“Our dog Lilly had a wonderful time with Maegan! She was attentive, communicative, and made sure to keep us updated with photos of Lilly enjoying herself and playing with the other dogs. It gave us real peace of mind knowing Lilly was in such good hands. We’ll definitely be back!”
“I've finally found the best sitter. Heidi and her family took my dog Romeo into her home for a weekend and treated him with love and respect. She sent me updates and pictures of Romeo throughout the day. There were other pets at her place that Romeo got along with very well. I can tell he made some great buddies. She even cooked rice for him(Romeo loves rice) and gave him treats! Communication was great from start to end. I think my Romeo boy misses her already. Thanks Heidi!!!”
“My Daisy had a great time with Laura! Which kept me at ease, as she is my baby since I’ve been widowed. My baby came home happy, fed well and clean! The pictures sent were great! I would HIGHLY RECOMMEND Laura and her sweet Ava!”
“Again Dawn was great taking care of our pup while we were gone for 9 days — make that 11 days, thanks to Southwest Airlines’ massive series of cancellations. Dawn updated us twice daily and sent cute pix of our pup every day. We’ve had Sunny stay with her several times now and are booking another stay soon.”
Dog parents share their Rover experiences - Fort Hunter
Jennifer and her Mom took excellent care of our Raya for 5 days. Jennifer was excellent to work with, communicated well and often, gave us plenty of pictures and updates of how our Raya was doing. Raya was on heartworm meds at the time, and Jennifer took special care to ensure that her activity level was kept low. They are very dog-friendly, having 3 elderly dogs of their own, have a nice fenced in back yard, and we certainly will keep her in mind for the future.
Pamela was wonderful! This was our first time leaving Ruby overnight and for an extended stay (Wed–Sun). Pamela kept us updated with pictures and messages. Ruby had a blast with her dogs, and we felt comfortable knowing she was in good hands. We’ll definitely be booking with Pamela again!
This was our second time booking with Alexa, and once again she was fantastic. She took great care of our dog, kept us updated, and gave us complete peace of mind while we were away. It’s such a relief knowing we have someone we can trust. We wouldn’t hesitate to book with her again!

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 Fort Hunter 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 Fort Hunter.
<b>Tip:</b> 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 Fort Hunter 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.
