“Sonny loved his stay, he came home happy and tired! The yard was spacious for him to run and play with sweet new friend Sarah. Jeff kept me updated with messages and photos. Looking forward to more stays in the future.”
“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.”
“Volha took excellent care of my dog for a week. He came back as happy as he could be and I can tell Volha and her family took great care of him! She provided regular updates with some very cute photos, so I never was worried for a second.”
“Mario was absolutely wonderful. Kind, friendly, and such genuine care for my dog. It was so reassuring to receive pictures of my pup every day and seeing how happy he was. I would definitely recommend Mario and will most certainly request his services again!”
“Stephen is a super care taker, for sure. Great and timely communications, friendly and very accommodating for a last minute request. Made the whole experience of looking after my Gracie seamless and easy.”
About: I've taken care of animals for what feels like my entire life. I have raised two gorgeous dachshunds and have two crazy hot dogs currently. Love both cats and dogs, and I enjoy taking the dogs for walks. I have taken care of both puppies and seniors, and both need lots of care. I take care of my friends pets when they are away, and groom my own dogs. I work full-time and am generally able to do walks or visits anytime on the weekends. I cannot block out specific times on this site, and leave things mostly as available, HOWEVER, I am free after 4pm on Monday’s and Tuesday’s. Wednesday thru Friday I am only free before 10:30am or after 7:30pm. So please keep that in mind when requesting services. Friends have either lent me keys or smart access to go in and care for their pets and plants. I will usually go in, play, walk and feed (or just walk and play depending on needs). I have taken care of their pets overnight while they're away and have stayed at their homes for extended vacations, if need be. My pets are friendly, playful and curious. They do well with both senior and puppies. All three of my pets are crate trained. The puppy is currently in the process of crate training now. I do not like to leave pets unattended for too long. Dogs that have not been socialized, are not cat friendly, or are aggressive may be problematic to board, as I do have pets in the home. I will work doggy dayplay and stays around any dog walks that are prearranged. Occasionally, I can do last minute appointments, but typically like to schedule out the week ahead. I take care of my two dogs daily, so adding another to the mix is typically no problem. I treat all pets like they are my own. I love animals and I will try to work with them as much as possible while ensuring everyone’s safety. I follow the owners requests when going into client homes and will ensure any requests or dietary concerns are addressed if they are dropped off.
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.
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.
“My dogs found their second home with Ciara....Ciara and her family love dogs so much that they treated our boys like they were their own. I am happy to have a great option for a dog sitter in the area.”
“Simba was well cared for when he was with Lucienne. She was flexible and easy to communicate with. I would recommend her to others looking for someone to board their furry friend(s).”
“We couldn’t have asked for a better dog sitter! Even with all the rain that week, Jomini and her family took wonderful care of our Bella, and made sure she was happy and well cared for. She also sent us pictures throughout the week, which meant so much because we missed Bella so much. We had complete peace of mind knowing Bella was in such caring hands. Thank you for taking such great care of our girl!”
About: I have been pet sitting dogs for over 7 years! When a dog comes into my home they are part of the family and have free range of the house. We do not crate board unless that’s what the owner wants. Caring, calm and cozy home for your dogs next stay! I am a stay at home mom that loves animals. So caring for dogs and other pets is just another part of my daily routine! I provide care exactly how the owner wants. Feeding and walking schedules are done as requested by the owner! I can administer medication if needed and any other service that may be requested. I am flexible and caring, and can adjust to any needed routine!
“Perfect perfect perfect, Sophia is the best. She really took care of my son Kane. She made it easy for my wife and I to be in two different states at the same time. Kane has never been away from us for a long period of time. She calmed his nerves while providing the nurturing that he needed being without a Luis family. Will definitely use her again and again and again.”
“Gabriel and Annie were wonderful hosts and caretakers for our two pups. Our Australian Cattle Dog and Aussie mix are a handful—energetic, high maintenance, and demanding, with daily exercise/stimulation requirements that can be somewhat daunting. But Gabriel and Annie handled the dogs' every need for a week-long stay. They integrated our dogs into their pack and ensured a safe and playful environment for everyone. And they sent regular updates with cute photos to show us how things were going, putting our minds at ease. Recommended!”
“Leah was absolutely wonderful with my dog, Pepi! She accepted a last-minute request without hesitation, which was such a relief and truly appreciated. From the start, her communication was clear, prompt, and reassuring. Throughout Pepi’s stay, she sent pictures and updates, which gave me great peace of mind. It was obvious she was attentive and genuinely caring. When I picked Pepi up, he was happy, well cared for, and didn’t appear stressed at all — which says everything about the environment she provides. I’m so grateful for Leah’s flexibility and kindness, and I would absolutely trust her to watch Pepi again. Highly recommend!”
“Daniela took exceptional care of my fur-baby, keeping me up to date with beautiful pictures and messages. I recommend her 100% 😀 Thank you Daniela, you are the pet sitter I always needed.”
“My dog had a great time with Jennifer, Thomas and their kids. They’ shared photos of her getting petted on the couch and going on walks. She was exhausted when she came home after having had a very fun day with this lovely family.”
The median cost per night for dog boarding in Hillside Lake is $65

If you would like updates while you’re away, you can discuss with your sitter how many or how frequent you’d like those updates to be. The Rover app allows sitters to send photos, videos, and messages about your pet, including how many pee or poop breaks occurred. 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 Hillside Lake 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 Hillside Lake 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 Hillside Lake.
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 Hillside Lake. On Rover:
- 92% of sitters can help with special care needs
- 95% 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 Hillside Lake 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.
