“Rachel Rachel was absolutely wonderful with Nilo. This was our first time using her services after our regular sitter had an unexpected emergency, and she was kind enough to meet with us right away. Nilo can be a little challenging at times, so I made sure to explain his personality, behaviors, and needs. Rachel was incredibly patient, understanding, and caring from the very beginning. She took the time to make Nilo feel comfortable, took him on several walks, and it was clear that he felt safe and relaxed in her home. It means so much to find someone who genuinely cares for your pet, and Rachel did exactly that. We felt at ease knowing Nilo was in such good hands. We are so grateful for her help and would not hesitate to book with her again. Thank you, Rachel, for taking such great care of our Nilo! ❤️ We highly recommend her to anyone looking for a trustworthy and compassionate pet sitter.”
“My dogs have stayed with Jenny a few times and they are always in good hands. This most recent stay we were late picking them up and she was very gracious and understanding about it.”
“Adriana was a fantastic, caring, and kind dog-mom to our little nugget. She went above and beyond with every possible opportunity - meeting up for hand-off, making sure that Hugo had adequate walks, snuggles, treats, and food. Communication throughout the trip was excellent - lots of check-ins and photos to let us know he was doing okay. The highest recommendation you can give a sitter on Rover is repeat business, and she'll be the first phone call I make the next time we need someone to keep an eye on our little dude. Twenty out of five stars.”
“Denis was the absolute perfect sitter for Mowgli! I was very nervous to be leaving him with strangers for the first time while on vacation for a whole week, as he’s typically a very anxious cat. But Denis was super communicative throughout the entire process and really put my mind at ease. He sent texts and photo updates every day and made sure to check in about how Momo was doing. If you are looking for someone who specifically understands and appreciates cat temperaments and needs, I highly recommend Denis! I think Mowgli had a better vacation than I did. I will certainly be booking with him again for any future cat sitting needs!”
“Wonderful job! Thank you Shushma. She did extra work for our dog like walked him, updated us from time to time by sending us videos and photos of our dog. Also she was so accommodating when we told her we can only pick up the dog at a later time. She has other dogs too so our dog really had fun on his stay at Shushma’s house. Definitely on our next vacation, we will leave our dog to her again 😀”
About: I’ve been taken care of dogs of every kind since I was child family and friends have relied on me to check in with feed and play with their pets I can fit pet care into my daily and weekly routine by providing regular walks, feeding, playtime, and companionship. I am responsible, patient, and committed to making sure every pet receives the attention and care they need. I provide a safe, clean, and comfortable environment for every pet. I follow the owner’s instructions carefully, make sure pets have fresh water and food, supervise them during playtime, and treat every pet with love, patience, and respect.
“Ivana cared so well for our beloved Naomi. She was attentive to all of her needs and consistently communicated with me regarding Naomi’s care. I’d highly recommend Ivana and hope to work with her again.”
“Jessica and her family are wonderful. They took such good care of my dog and provided constant communication and feedback. They even dropped her back off at my house during a snow storm so that I didn't have to travel. I would 100% recommend Jessica and her family for any pet care. I'm so glad to have found you on Rover! Thank you!”
“Brigette was fantastic. She’s super responsive, even for a last minute request, and was an absolute lifesaver for us. She was great with our dog and we’re looking forward to working with her in the future!!”
“Orly had a great time with Kris and his family! She was able to go for walks, get exercise, and enjoy playing in the snow. We hope for her to be able to return in the future!”
“I had to make a last-minute trip and urgently needed an overnight stay for my pup. I quickly found Daniel through the app, and he was incredibly responsive and accommodating. Upon meeting him, I was impressed by his friendliness and the thorough walk-through of his backyard, which resembled a gated mini-farm. My dog was absolutely fascinated by the chickens and rabbits; we could barely pull him away! Daniel kept me updated with photos throughout the day, making me feel reassured. By the end of the day, it was clear that Kylo had become part of Daniel's family. I can’t recommend him enough! Kylo has truly found his second home with Daniel.”
“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!!”
“I am so glad I trusted Kristen to keep my pet Yorkie. I went with her once I met her and saw how passionate she is about not just her animals but all. She treated my benjie like her own. I have left my dog with his vet boarding in the past and felt he didn't get the attention or care I expected. He was a little withdrawn and took a few days to be his normally playful self. When I picked up my pet from Kristen he was as happy as when I dropped him off and that meant a lot to me. I'm glad I chose Kristen and will definitely continue to use her services. I definitely recommend.”
About: Dogs are our whole world. I grew up taking care of dogs, I have spent years baby sitting dogs, and now I have a dog of my own. I work from home so my schedule and availability is open. I have a spacious home for your dog to run around in as well as a yard perfect for potty breaks or playtime. My schedule is very flexible so I have the ability to give full attention to your dog. I can take them on potty breaks, walks, and have play time as needed. I have a fully fenced and spacious yard that your dog can run around in. Inside my home is also spacious for playtime or running around. My home is puppy proofed and safe for puppies and adult dogs.
“Kristen was wonderful! I had a two week vacation and my usual cat sitter had to cancel last minute. I was panicked because I needed someone I could trust since I have an elderly cat and another cat on medication that he needs daily. Kristen was able to accommodate a short notice booking and texted me everyday with updates and pictures. Because of her, I felt at ease when I was away because I knew they were being loved and in good hands. I highly recommend Kristen for boarding.”
“This was Tobie’s first time boarding and I can genuinely say that Dane and family took excellent care of him while I was away traveling. They sent me daily updates and made sure he had his walks and was well attended. I was happy to see Tobie doing good and being happy through their photos and videos. I’d be happy to bring Tobie back in the future! Highly recommended!”
“Thank you for watching my little buddy during my trip. Updated me with pictures, gave Jesse his medicine, took him for walks and played with him. Couldn't ask for more!”
“Aviel was amazing with our large, leash reactive dog. We left her for 11 nights and knew she was in great hands the whole time. He took excellent care of her and she warmed up to him right away. He sent lots of pics/video updates throughout. We would highly recommend Aviel to anyone! His neighborhood is also very calm and quiet, which is great for a reactive dog like mine :)”

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.
We had an absolutely amazing experience with Grainne! Teddy was immediately comfortable the moment they met, and it’s completely obvious that Grainne has a true passion for caring for dogs. He had a wonderful vacation of his own, and the photo updates she sent while we were away completely put our minds at ease—the kids loved seeing them! We will definitely book with Grainne 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.

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.
