“Kathy and Tim took care of Bodie over Thanksgiving week and our pooch had a great stay! We received daily updates and photos and we could tell he felt quite at home. Their dog, Bailey, is well-mannered and friendly to people and other dogs - not a concern at all for Bodie (who's a bit picky about other dogs). We are THRILLED we found a very comfortable and caring home-away-from-home for Bodie and already have plans to bring him back next month. Thank you!!”
“Our dog Casey had a wonderful time with this provider! She was welcomed into the family making friends with the host children and dogs. They went on nice long walks each day and had outdoor play time. I would definitely recommend using Ema!”
“What a great experience! First time using Rover and Rochelle was wonderful with our dogs, she kept us updated with pictures that let us enjoy the family service we had to attend. Will definitely use her services again as we like to visit the Rochester area. Thanks, Rochelle and Rover!”
“Brian & Kathleen were excellent! Our dog can be a handful, but they took great care of him and treated him like their own. Will definitely hope to book again”
“Pippin loved staying with Julia and her family. They provided him with so much love and care. It was so comforting to receive daily updates and pictures of Pippin making himself quite at home. We are more than pleased with this experience and would not hesitate to have Pippin stay with Julia and her family again.”
About: I have been walking dogs and taking care of cats and dogs for years. I give cats and dogs some attention and play with them. I am currently available on weekends and week nights for walking dogs. I am flexible with the times on weekends. I can take dogs for more than 20 minutes to give them more exercise and an enjoyable time. If you need your dog (s) to stay at my house overnight or during the day on weekends, I can look after them, play with them, and walk them. I have a large fenced yard.
About: Hi, fellow animal lovers! 🐾💕 I’m Olivia, and I’ve loved having furry friends in my life for as long as I can remember! I’ve grown up with dogs, and one of my favorite things is getting to know each pet’s unique personality, whether they’re a playful little goofball, a professional napper, or a shy sweetheart who needs a little extra time to warm up. 🐶🐱 I work a full-time hybrid job and am home most days, with availability that is primarily evenings and weekends. I like to plan ahead with pet parents so we can make sure your pet’s needs, routine, and care schedule are a good fit. My goal is for your pet to feel comfortable, loved, and right at home. I know how important it is to trust someone with your furry family member, so I take your instructions seriously and believe communication makes all the difference. I’m happy to share photo updates and little check-ins so you can see how your bestie is doing while you’re away! 📸💗 I no longer have a pet of my own, so getting to spend time with other people’s furry friends is something I genuinely look forward to. I love building relationships with both pets and their humans, and I’d be thrilled to become a familiar, trusted face your pet gets excited to see! Whether your kitty needs some company while you’re away or your pup needs a cozy place to stay overnight, I’d love to meet you both. Let’s make your pet’s next little adventure a happy one! 🐾 I currently work a full time hybrid job where I am home most days with a pretty flexible schedule. Due to recent life changes, I no longer have my own pet and am really missing having a buddy at home. I currently live in a first floor apartment, but there is a fenced in dog area right behind my building and love to take walks around the neighborhood. I have always been around animals and have a strong love for them all. A family member also a top Rover sitter in the Canandaigua area that I have assisted with as well for several years.
“Destiny has a lovely home that is very practical for petsitting. She has zones and rooms that can be closed off. Her beagle and cat both did well with my cat, no one was traumatized. But the best of course is the loving family my pet enjoyed. They doted on him and tolerated all of his quirks. I felt like he was so well cared for.”
About: I’ve had 2 dogs of my own previously & hiked them around many trails in the area. My special skills would be that I am very patient when it comes to sniffing the grass!! I’m currently able to fit pet care into my routine and would love to spend time with yours! Feel free to reach out to me for more info I have an apartment with plenty of space for a pet. Your pet will be treated as my own, and be well loved and cared for!
“This was a great experience for Reilly. Amy's home is very dog friendly, with an easy going, dog loving family, another dog to play with, large fenced yard and doggie door. Amy also sent me pictures so I could see first hand that he was, indeed, making himself right at home! I will definitely book with Amy in the future.”
“I booked at the last minute for a 5 day trip. Connecting was easy and the communication was excellent throughout my experience. I appreciated the relay number allowing us to text securely. Christine was excellent in every way. It had snowed the night before and her driveway and sidewalk were completely cleared. I never worried that dogs were well cared while we were gone. I loved the pictures she shared, the walks outside (not easy in this weather) and the great communication. I’d use Christine again 100%”
About: I’ve taken care of dogs and cats for family and neighbors since I was 12 years old. I love animals of all shapes and sizes!

I love giving personalized special attention to each pet I meet. I take pride in treating all my clients with the utmost care and love the flexibility of personal pet care vs. a large facility. I’d be happy to watch your furry (or not furry) friends! I’m currently inbetween jobs so my schedule is mostly open!

“Thank you, Allison, for taking such good care of our puppy! We know he's a handful, but he loves playing with your dog, and getting regular updates from you kept our minds at ease while on vacation.”
“Cody was able to watch my dog, Ziggy, on very short notice, which was great. He took Ziggy on more than enough walks and gave him plenty of treats and attention. We will definitely ask Cody to dog sit again in the future!!”

Frequently asked questions about Rover
As of November 2026, there are 123 sitters on Rover offering Dog Boarding across Gorham. Enter your ZIP code to see which available sitters are closest to your home.
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.
90% of sitters in Gorham 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 Gorham 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 Gorham.
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.
You and your Gorham 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.
