“Lyanne and her husband were amazing with my dogs — plenty of exercise, lots of cuddles, and daily photo and video updates. Such a friendly couple who certainly have my recommendation. Thank you both!”
“Amazing! Gave us the total peace of mind during our vacation! Was communicative throughout the trip with photos and videos to reassure he was doing well. We recommend her and will have her be his caretaker again for sure. Thank you”
“Odie had a wonderful stay with Maryline and her family. It was evident that he was treated as part of the family. Maryline was easy to contact and shared amazing photos of Odie's visit. She made our holiday travel stress free knowing Odie was in good hands.”
“I would definitely recommend Brittany to anyone that needs boarding for their pets. She treated our puppy Storm like she was one of her own. She sent us pictures of Storm having a great time and assured us that she was playing the entire time she was there. When we picked her up she was clearly happy and exhausted. We will definitely be using Brittany again in the future.”
“Morgan was great! I had a last minute trip and she accepted the booking even with short notice. My dog also seemed very happy in her care! She sent pictures and videos and was overall communicative. I would definitely recommend!”
About: I have grown up with animals my entire life. Starting with dogs, cats, pigs, cows, goats and fish. Caring for a pet builds patience, empathy, and unconditional love. In addition to caring for my personal pets I also help take care of dogs with our neighbors before and at work with one dog and two cats. I’m currently working part time after school hours Monday to Thursday so basically free during the day and can work all day Friday plus weekend if needed but it really depends on the time or day you need I will accommodate. I have a small backyard and extra room which we normally call sunroom for now with one of my dogs that can accompany your dog. I can easily crate your dog as well if needed. I have one in my house that my dog stopped using for a while.

“Donna and her husband were both great. Very thoughtful and generous with Dakota. She has three dogs of her own and they were very well behaved and welcomed Dakota in. Thank you so much!”
“Candace is absolutely amazing! She boarded my dog Lou in her home and took such wonderful care of her. From the moment we met, I could tell Candace had a kind and gentle disposition, which instantly put me at ease. She was communicative throughout the entire stay, providing thoughtful updates and letting me know how Lou was doing. At pick-up, she shared even more details, which I really appreciated. If you’re looking for someone who is loving, easy to talk to, responsive, and incredibly responsible, Candace is the one. I’m so grateful to have found her!”
“Thayla took care of our dog Foxy, while we were away on a 2 week trip. My family and I felt so comfortable leaving her with Thayla, because she is an extremely nice dog loving person who treated our dog like her own. She took our dog on 3 walks everyday, sent us pictures and updates everyday about the fun things they were doing. Will definitely leave Foxy with Thayla and her dogs next time we are going away again. Thank you ❤️ Camilla and Foxy”
“Our pups love their vacations at Courtney and Kevin’s! They come home happy and tired every time. Courtney is a true animal lover and our dogs feel so comfortable and safe there.”
“Danielle was great, I'm so thankful Wicket was in good hands while I was out of the country for a week. He had never stayed with anyone he didn't know previously, but I know she and her family made him comfortable from all the nice pics I got. He looked happy and relaxed, so I was able to stop stressing out about it. Thank you, I'll definitely book again.”
“Leslie boarded Sadie, our 15 yr old Cockapoo, on short notice and was amazing. She was responsive, asked all the right questions, and was flexible when there was a change to our plans. During Sadie's stay Leslie shared regular updates, which we always appreciate. Sadie came home surprisingly happy and energetic for an old lady. Thank you Leslie!”
About: As a dog owner myself, I understand how important it is to find someone you trust with your pet. I’ll take time to learn your dog’s routine, follow your instructions, and give them plenty of attention during our walks and visits. My goal is to help your pup feel safe, comfortable, and cared for while you’re away. I balance pet care with my work and school schedule, offering walks and drop-in visits during my available hours. Please message me to discuss your pet’s routine and confirm availability before booking. I’ll follow your instructions closely to keep your pet safe and comfortable. During walks and visits, I’ll check that leashes and doors are secure, respect your home, and send photos and updates so you know how your pet is doing.
“B recently had a incident with a larger dog that caused her to shy away from dogs in general. I advised Dawn of the incident before dropping B off. Dawn understood immediately and reassured me that B would be fine. During my time away, Dawn sent pictures/ movies consistently. I could see that B had made friends and was definitely enjoying herself. Dawn eased my mind tremendously and allowed me to relax and finally begin to enjoy my vacation with my family. Thank you very much Dawn!!!”
“They treated my pup so well. Honestly couldn't have asked for a better sitter. Kept my pup busy with puzzles, and outdoor activities. Made their home feel like his own. So grateful for them. I trust them to watch Cash in the future.”

Every time my baby goes to them for a stay he is always well taken care of. They send pictures and updates as well. My baby is always excited to go. Will continue to use them to take care of our baby (Dog) when we have to be away. Thank you for always being and doing great when you have Kahlua!
Tara is wonderful! We left Teddy with her for 2 weeks! Tara took good care of Teddy and made him feel so comfortable and loved that he was himself in no time at all and running her household (as Yorkshire Terriers often do)! Tara went above and beyond in making sure he ate and was happy! Tara kept us informed every day making us also feel comfortable. Totally recommend Tara to take care of your pet! Thank you Tara!!!

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.
95% of sitters in Gardnertown 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 Gardnertown 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 Gardnertown.
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 Gardnertown. On Rover:
- 91% of sitters can help with special care needs
- 96% can help with giving oral medications or injections
- 95% 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 Gardnertown 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.
