“Anthony and Jayson were lifesavers and able to watch our dog last minute after another sitter cancelled. Our dog had the best time with them and it was such a relief to see so many pictures of her playing and having a blast with other dogs while we were away. We are so appreciative of their flexibility and so happy we found them!”

“In a perfect world, Serefina and her awesome partner and their awesome dog will be free every time I need to leave Petey somewhere... they were attentive and loving, gave Petey the amount of exercise he needs (which is A LOT), and when we picked him up he was happy, relaxed, and possibly even better behaved than when we left him there 2 weeks before.”

“Last minute, my usual sitter fell through, and Kate was able to come through and provide my Cooper with a place to stay for the weekend. Kate and her dad provided Coop with excellent care, provided consistent updates and made him feel like home. It was his birthday while I was away as well and they celebrated it and took a video and everything. It was really sweet and above and beyond. I would have Cooper visit these two gems again, anytime with zero trepidation. I strongly encourage anyone in need of a reliable sitter to utilize Kate’s services. Thanks again, again guys! You’re the best.”

“My pup is very attached to me and leaving him is difficult because I know he misses us but Deanna and Chris treated my pup like their own family and were wonderful, attentive, loving, and kind. They go above and beyond to make sure your fur baby is loved while you are away. They truly love animals and care for them like their own. I highly recommend them for anyone who needs to leave their fur baby for a period of time.”

About: I’ve grown up with dogs my entire life and have cared for several family dogs over the years, including American Akitas and a Husky and Australian Shepherd mix. I’m comfortable with different breeds, personalities, and energy levels. I enjoy walks, playtime, and making sure each dog feels safe, comfortable, and cared for while you’re away. I recently graduated and am currently looking for a job, which gives me a flexible schedule during the week and on weekends. I have plenty of time to provide pets with attention, playtime, walks, and companionship. I enjoy making sure pets stay active, happy, and comfortable while their owners are away. I have a comfortable home with plenty of trees, nearby walking trails, and a river area where dogs can enjoy outdoor time. Since my yard is not fenced, I always use a leash and supervise dogs during potty breaks and walks to make sure they stay safe. I also have my own cat, Eartha, who is friendly and enjoys meeting people. I understand that every pet has their own personality, so I take the time to help them feel comfortable and follow each owner’s instructions to provide the best care possible.

About: I’ve taken care of dogs and cats for many many years. I have 2 dogs of my own. They make me happy and are my pride and joy/ I take my dogs out every morning and they have a routine. This helps to keep their potty behavior straight as well as their other behaviors I have a dog park here as well as different rooms to desperate dogs if they get upset with each other.

About: I’ve grown up with dogs my whole life. I’m known as the “animal whisperer”. All animals seem to love me, and everyone can see that. I do this as my actual job, so I’ll be home all day with your pets. I will treat them as if they’re my own animals. They’ll get some one on one time, long walks, play time, cuddle time, snacks (like peanut butter), and so much more. People call my home the “pet’s paradise”.

About: Ever since I had my first dog at 12, I’ve been in love with pets. Though I don’t currently own one, I’ve always been surrounded by dogs through my parents, who recently lost their beloved pet. That loss has left a void, and I’m now looking to fill it by caring for pets as if they were my own. When you leave your pet with me, rest assured they will receive the same love and attention as family. I adore cuddling with pets, taking them on walks, and making sure they feel safe, happy, and well cared for. I work Monday through Friday 8-5. I go into an office Monday, Tuesday and Wednesday and work remote Thursday and Friday. I can be flexible with changing which days I go into the office. Weekends I am home except for errands. I will take your dogs for walks each time they need to go out. I have a cozy bed they are able to sleep on but can also have them sleep in their crate when needed. I can send daily text updates and pictures so you can see all the fun your doggy is having while you are out of town!

About: Hello, My name is Katelyn and I am new to Rover. I have four years of experience in basic training, walking, bathing, ear cleaning, and nail trimming with three French Bulldogs (up to 30 lbs) and two years of similar experience with two Rat Terriers (up to 18 lbs). I am attentive and patient with the positive energy to cater to your dog’s needs for mental stimulation, exercise, grooming, and loving cuddles. My home is shared with my gentle husband Mark and our sweet spayed female Rat Terrier named Reenie. I am a stay-at-home Rat Terrier Mom primarily, working a very part-time schedule (three or four short shifts in the evening per week) outside of the home. If your dog has special needs (e.g., frequent potty trips or special food or medication preparation) I am up for the task. Our home is a tidy two-bedroom apartment in which your dog will have access to the kitchen, hallway, living room, and spare bedroom. We have two dog beds and two recliners with throw blankets for lounging; Kongs, bones, and antlers for chewing; and softer squeaker toys and balls for playing. We have one crate that is Reenie’s and prefer that you provide your dog’s crate for their comfort during their stay.

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 Gaines 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 Gaines.

<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 Gaines 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.
