“From start to finish, Veronique made the whole experience stress-free and full of peace of mind. They were so kind with my dog and kept me updated with plenty of photos and videos, which I loved. I could see how happy and comfortable my pup was the entire time, and I never had a single worry. It’s clear Veronique and her family truly cares and puts their heart into what they do. My dog came home happy, relaxed, and maybe even a little sad to leave! I’m so grateful for their care and can’t recommend them enough to other pet owners.”
“Gerald watched our dog in his home for 10 days, and we couldn't have been happier with the experience. Our dog can get anxious when he's away from home, but he was calm, comfortable, and clearly well cared for throughout his stay. Gerald took him on walks in the nearby park and provided excellent care. He was also a fantastic communicator, sending regular updates, photos, and videos that gave us peace of mind and made us feel connected while we were away. I would absolutely recommend Gerald to anyone looking for a reliable and caring dog sitter. We'll definitely be booking with him again in the future!”
“It has taken me over a week to be able to write this review & express my gratitude for Denise. She watched my senior dog & the unimaginable happened. She was with coco during her last hours & cared for her like she was her own. I would have never left had I thought this would happen, but I am so thankful that Coco enjoyed her last days with Denise & her daughter. I feel so guilty & horrible that her family had to endure this & yet she did her best to comfort me. There are no words to express how grateful I am for Denise & her compassion.”
“I'm neurotic with my dogs. I don't trust many to take care of them in my absence. But I can say I had none of this with Gabby. She was on top of my concerns and kept me in the loop the whole time. She definitely has top tier experience with dogs and "gets" them. Will rebook again 100%.”
“My dog's recent stay with Cynthia A. was a very positive experience. We had great communication and the facility is set up nicely for dogs. As a bonus, Cynthia has extensive experience with dogs and I felt very comfortable leaving my dog with her.”
“I always trust that my dog will be safe and happy when he goes to Kerri’s. She is great with him but also super responsive with me. Always love seeing photos of my dog having a great time while I am away. Thanks Kerri!”
“Eliana was so wonderful! My dog Leila was so happy there! Eliana sent me many pictures of my dog playing and having fun! I would give her a million stars if I could!”
“Joanne is amazing to our baby girl, she noticed when our pup wasn’t feeling the best and let us know promptly. She also kept an eye on her and kept us up to date. Our furbaby is always very excited to go to Joanne’s house :)”
“Axel loved his 3 day stay with Jennifer! She takes great care of her pups, and gives tons of 1 on 1 attention. We appreciated the photo/video updates during his stay. Highly recommend Jennifer and would definitely book again!”

“Jamie was a great host. She sent us pictures several times during the day and was always responsive when we asked how our baby was. We would highly recommend her and plan on using her all the time.”
“Jamie was amazing! She took care of my 6 month old puppy for six days. She checked in every day and sent me pictures/videos so I knew my boy was safe and well taken care of. I would highly recommend Jamie. It's a beautiful thing to be able to enjoy my time away knowing my dog is in good hands.”
About: I’ve owned and cared for pets for as long as I can remember. I’m a huge animal lover and I truly believe every being deserves genuine love, patience, and personal attention. Pets are family, and I treat every furry friend as if they were my own. My goal is to make your pet feel safe, comfortable, happy, and loved while you’re away. My home is located on a quarter acre lot which is completely fenced in. Your fur babies can run around in open space and enjoy plenty of fresh air. I’m attentive to each pet’s unique personality, routine, and needs, whether that means energetic walks, playtime, extra cuddles, or a little more patience and attention for senior pets. I also believe communication is essential. I’ll keep you updated with pictures, videos, and messages so you can enjoy peace of mind knowing your pet is receiving wonderful care. Most importantly, I don’t believe pet sitting is just a job. It’s about building trust, creating a bond, and making sure every pet feels loved, protected, and right at home! I’m a stay at home Mom and work remotely; so I’ll be home with your fur baby every day:) I believe this is especially important for dogs with separation anxiety that shouldn’t be left home alone for hours. I provide a safe, clean, comfortable, and loving environment where fur babies can relax, play, and receive plenty of attention. I do my best to maintain their normal routines, including feeding schedules, walks, playtime, potty breaks, and bedtime habits, so the transition feels as stress -free as possible. I believe every pet deserves individualized care, so I take the time to get to know their personality, preferences, and needs. Whether your pup loves long walks, playing outside, lounging around, or getting endless belly rubs, I’ll make sure they receive plenty of love and attention. My priority is making sure your pet feels safe, happy, comfortable, and loved while you’re away.
“I can’t recommend Theresa enough. She was amazing with my puppy and had so much patience with him. She sends frequent updates & great pictures. I couldn’t have been happier with my experience. Thank you again!”
“Tammy made us feel comfortable with leaving our fur baby with her for several days. She's a true professional that obviously loves dogs! She often sent us pictures of our 7 year old morkie, allowing us to relax on our time out of state. Fantastic and highly recommend.”
“Trinity is amazing did an awesome job watching our frenchie and bunny. They really enjoyed their time. Trinity made sure they were taken care of and kept me updated with pictures. Thank you again.”
“Emma was fantastic. This was my first experience leaving my 4 month old golden. My golden is young and full of energy, the sitter needs to be special and Emma certainly was. I highly recommend Emma and will ask her again in the future.”
“We are so happy to have found Pam to board our 1 year old dog for 2 nights. She kept us fully informed multiple times each day and was responsive to any questions we had. Our dog hasn’t socialized too much with other dogs before this but she eased him into meeting the other dogs and let us know he got more comfortable each day.”

Dog parents share their Rover experiences - Great River
This was our first time leaving Finn with anyone outside of family or our usual sitter. Sandy was so responsive, provided a comfortable and safe environment for the dogs, and you could tell she really cares for the dogs! I would highly recommend her for anyone considering boarding with Rover.
I couldn’t be happier with the incredible care my dog received! From the moment I dropped him off, I felt completely at ease knowing he was in the hands of someone who truly loves animals. She’s adamant about maintaining your pets’ normal schedule. To say she is accommodating would be an understatement. The daily updates, photos, and genuine attention made all the difference. My dog came home happy, relaxed, and clearly adored. This was above and beyond anything I expected. If you’re looking for someone who treats your dog like family, look no further.
We had an excellent experience with Jennifer. She was extremely loving to our dog and treated him as if he was her own. She sent regular updates and photos. The dog seemed extremely comfortable in her home. I would recommend Jennifer to anyone who wants peace of mind.

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 Great River 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 Great River 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 Great River.
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 Great River. On Rover:
- 88% of sitters can help with special care needs
- 92% 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 Great River 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.
