“Sharon and her family were terrific to Shea. I received thoughtful emails with lots of pictures and Shea came back happy and healthy . I would recommend Sharon to any prospective Rover customer . Thanks Jim”
“Joey was great! His entire family are so warm and friendly and set my anxiety about dog sitting my large, spoiled, tripod, Cersei, at ease. She loved them and literally ran in the house without me which never happens with strangers. Joey sent tons of pictures and did an excellent job catering to my fur babies needs. 10 out of 10 highly recommend! ☺️”
“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!”
“Adriana is absolutely the best! My 12 year old chihuahua, Trudy, has never spent a night away from me. I needed someone to take care of her for three nights and she can be quite any around strangers. But it could not have gone better. Adriana sent me pictures a number of times each day. I could see how happy and relaxed Trudy was. I am so happy. I will definitely use her again.”
“Our pup just had her first stay with Angela and we couldn’t be more thrilled! She was welcomed into a loving home with lots of snuggles, walks and an environment where she felt safe immediately. She came home very happy and we can tell from the pics that she enjoyed her time. Will definitely book again!”
“Vanessa was so extremely accommodating for our little Mia. She understands dogs through and through. I hope to only use her while we are in NY moving forward. Thank you!”
“We had a fantastic experience with Yogita. She took amazing care of my pet Circuit and kept me updated the entire time. You can tell she truly loves animals. I highly recommend her to anyone looking for a reliable and caring pet sitter!”
“Lynn was an excellent sitter! She watched both of my dogs for a week. She sent daily pictures and updates. She was very easy to communicate with and is a very kind person. I will definitely book with her again in the future.”
“Kara-Ann took wonderful care of our cat, Bernie, while we were away. She was reliable, attentive, and clearly cared about making sure Bernie was comfortable and well cared for. We really appreciated the updates and the peace of mind knowing he was in good hands. Bernie warmed up to her quickly, which says a lot! We would absolutely book with Kara-Ann again and highly recommend her to anyone looking for a caring and dependable pet sitter.”
“Regina took such lovely care of our dog. She provided regular updates and was quick with all communication. Our dog was bummed to come back home after having such a good time with her!”
About: I'm a very caring person who has two dogs of my own. they get a lot of attention and are always out for a walk I'm also always giving snacks out their able to relax in the rooms their able to play with other dogs my dogs are friendly which makes most dogs comfortable to play with them. I love playing with the animals. I also enjoy petting. I can give then baths and do their nails. I'm also able to shave them if you would like. I've had pets all my life so I am able to deal with pets. I feel like pets should be treated like humans because they have feelings just like we do. Many people don't understand animals but I think it's easy all they want is love and attention. I’m currently free everyday of the week at any time so I can work with the schedule you choose to provide me with it’s no issue I don’t have a fenced yard but the little babies will go for a walk three or 4 times through out the day so that’s a plus.
About: Hi, I’m Kim! I’m a longtime dog mom with 10 years of pet care experience, and I know how important it is to find someone you truly trust with your dog. I specialize in caring for small to medium dogs up to 40 lbs in my home, where they’ll receive plenty of attention, affection, playtime, and personalized care. I’m a proud dog mom myself, so I understand that every pup has their own personality, routine, and comfort level. After years of traveling for work and searching for reliable pet care for my own dogs, I decided to provide the kind of experience I always wanted to find: a safe, loving, home-away-from-home where pet parents can feel completely comfortable while they’re away. I’m attentive to feeding schedules, walks, routines, medications or special instructions, and I’m happy to send regular photos and updates so you can enjoy your time away knowing your pup is happy and well cared for. Your dog won’t just be a booking — they’ll be treated like part of the family. 🐶❤️ I have a very flexible schedule and spend much of my time at home, which allows me to give your pup plenty of attention throughout the day. I’m available for boarding, daycare, walks, playtime, feeding, and lots of one-on-one care. Your dog won’t be left alone for long periods, and I’m happy to maintain their normal routine as closely as possible. Every day is tailored to your dog’s personality and routine. We’ll start with a morning potty break or walk, followed by breakfast and some time to relax. Throughout the day, your pup can enjoy supervised yard time, walks, playtime, cuddles, enrichment, and plenty of attention. There’s also lots of downtime for naps and lounging around the house. Dinner, an evening walk or outdoor break, and some relaxing time round out the day before bedtime.
“10/10 doesn’t even feel like enough! She is literally the BEST dog sitter ever. You can genuinely tell how much she cares about my dog and goes above and beyond every single time. She takes him out, gives him so much love and attention, and always makes sure he’s happy and comfortable. I never have to worry about him when he’s with her because I know he’s in the best hands. I’m so grateful I found someone I can trust with my baby. Highly, highly recommend her!!!”
About: I’ve cared for dogs of all ages and sizes, treating each one like my own. From playful pups to senior snuggle bugs, I want your pets to feel safe, loved, and happy. I am a home care speech therapist who works close to home. I have a flexible schedule, allowing me to give your pet and mine plenty of attention and care. Plus, a loving family member is always home for extra company! I create a calm, loving environment with lots of play, cuddles, and routine. Whether in my home or yours, I follow your pet’s schedule to keep them happy and comfortable. Available for meet and greet by Mary Jane Davies park prior to pet boarding. As a personal preference, we don’t do meet & greets in the home and don’t take more than one dog (unless it’s from the same family, 2 max). Big on sending updates and pictures.
“Nari and Ryan were such amazing and loving caretakers. They clearly have found their calling as they sent pictures daily, walked my dog regularly and anticipated both pets needs. I give them an A++ . Dont hesitate to book with them. What a loving and smazing family.”
“John and his family took great care of my golden boy while I was away. I had used other 5 stars dog sitter before and Chewy never looked back to the sitter during pick up. However, with John, my golden made subtle gesture to say goodbye and he seems at ease and happy, not frantically trying to leave the minute he sees me during pick up. I have received photo updates throughout which was great and not to mention the healthy meals John has made for my pup. Can’t thank you enough. We’ll be back!”
“Jasmil once again was amazing with Papa! She and her family cared for him as if he was their own :) she is so patient with him and sends the best updates throughout his stay. I will always recommend Jasmil!!”
“Alex and Ami are incredible. Talk about peace of mind! Their communication with texts and pictures is everyday. Their attention and love they provided our dogs was as if they were their own. We couldn’t be more happy to have found them!! Thank you!!!”
“David is quite simply the best!! I always have full confidence that my (sometimes difficult) little guy is safe, happy, and having fun at his place. I love the updates and know that Roman is always surrounded by friends, affection, and adventures from walks to the dog park. Thank you so much again, David! :)”

Once again, Vanessa is the absolute best! Each time I have left my dogs in her care, I have felt completely at ease knowing they are being loved, well-cared for, and have playmates to keep them company while they are apart from their family. She’s communicative (always keeping us updated with the cutest pictures and videos), patient, and goes out of her way to make sure all bases are covered when you have any particular needs for your pups. Being away on a busy holiday weekend, we got stuck in even worse traffic than expected and were late to pick up. She was so understanding and patient which relieved any extra stress we had. She’s truly a saint, and her family is lovely as well. I will be sure to recommend her to any of my loved ones who need a sitter and you can rest assured knowing she’ll take the best care of your pets, too.
Joanna is an amazing sitter to our pups, as always. She accepted a very last minute request when my newborn decided to arrive to this world a little early, and was very understanding and flexible for us to extend the pups’ stay when I had complications from labor that kept me in the hospital longer than expected. We are very grateful to have found her here on rover. She is truly a gem and the pups absolutely love staying with her!
Excellent experience, from first communication on rover, to the meet and greet, drop off and pick up. Sonia and her son Kenny sent updates and pics everyday. My dog Levi gets a little nervous with new people but they were so patient and loving, he settled in so quickly. When we picked him up, he was so calm, almost seemed like he wanted to stay longer, hahaa. So glad we found them on Rover, we will definitely be using them in the future and recommending to friends and family. Do not hesitate to book with them.
Tanu was wonderful with Yogi! 🐾 She was so accommodating, caring, and attentive, and Yogi clearly had such a great time with her. I also really appreciated all the pictures and videos she sent, it was so reassuring to see him happy and having fun. We would definitely book with Tanu again! ❤️
Lisa took such amazing care of Ruffles while we were away for 3 weeks. She sent daily updates with photos and videos that really put our minds at ease while we were miles away. We will absolutely be using Lisa again for our future needs and highly recommend her for your fur babies!
I had a great experience with Tina! She took the time to meet Summer on short notice before taking care of her. She sent pictures and updates twice a day and I could tell Summer had a great time. She also has a fenced backyard where Summer enjoyed playing fetch and getting her zoomies out. I would highly recommend her to anyone looking for a dog sitter.

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.
