“Hiroko and her daughter were great! Their communication, care, and understanding for Rolo’s needs was reassuring. Hiroko is organized as well & I appreciated the informative daily updates. I will be using her services again in the future & highly recommend.”

“Very happy with our experience with Katerina. She was kind, flexible, communicative and shared lots of photos of our girl Evie. Would recommend her to anyone looking for a dog sitter!”

“John went above and beyond for me and my dog, Andie! Great communication, flexible, and thoughtful throughout her stay. She was so genuinely loved and cared for by John and his family. He even gave her a bath and blow dry. The love is real! I felt completely at ease knowing Andie was in such great hands. I will absolutely be booking with John again. Highest recommendation! ❤️🐾”

“I was comfortable leaving Jaxx with Gavriel based on conversation we had prior to the sitting period. She sent photos to let me know how he was doing which put us at ease since it was our first time using a sitter.”

“I was concerned that my senior dog would be difficult to take care of but Sarah was so sweet with my senior dog! Sarah sent multiple updates throughout the day and made me feel comfortable on my trip. I would recommend her and would ask her to look over my dog again.”

About: Hi there! My husband and I are lifelong animal lovers with years of hands-on experience caring for dogs and cats. I had my beloved pug for 17 wonderful years, and during his senior years, I cared for him closely — including when he could no longer walk — so I understand the special attention older pets need. My husband also grew up with two dogs and a cat, and together we’ve cared for friends’ pets many times over the years. Whether it’s daily walks, cuddle time, or special care for senior pets, we always make sure every animal feels safe, loved, and comfortable — just like part of the family. We’d love to give your furry friend the same care and affection we gave our own. ❤️ I work from home most of the time, and my husband also works full-time remotely. We additionally have a live-in part-time sitter for our children. Because of this, someone is almost always home and available for walks throughout the day. We have a fully fenced backyard where pets can safely explore and get fresh air. Inside, our living room is spacious, so they can move around freely and relax. And yes—dogs are welcome on the couch if they’d like to snuggle! Our children are used to having animals and very gentle with them.
“Kathy was fantastic! Gracie obviously had a fabulous time and didn't want to leave. Kathy sent us pictures and videos during the stay and was super responsive to all communication. Would 100% recommend Kathy to anyone, and hope she's available whenever we need a sitter in the future!”
“My dog was very happy when I picked him up and dropped him off. He is generally very anxious and an older dog so I am always a little wary leaving him behind but I am glad we found Michael and he had a comfortable stay at Michael's house. Michael and his wife were wonderful and always very responsive and flexible with my last minute changes.”


“This was our first time leaving our pup for the weekend and we are so grateful to have found Leandra. She is super sweet and the open line of communication really helped put us at ease. Our pup is very energetic, but she was able to keep him calm from the second we handed over his leash. Our trip away was smooth because we knew our pup was being taken care of. We 110% recommend to anyone and we will definitely be returning clients for our next trip away!”

“I can’t say enough wonderful things about Lillian and Picasso! They were incredibly compassionate, patient, and caring while watching Ozzie, my very shy and timid boy. From the start, they took the time to earn Ozzie’s trust, never rushing the process and always respecting what he was comfortable with. Lillian’s responsiveness was also outstanding—I always felt at ease knowing that Ozzie was in such attentive hands and she shared so many updates with me. It’s rare to find someone who truly understands and cares for animals the way Lillian does. Picasso was also such a sweet doggy coach, letting Ozzie know everything was okay and giving him lots of attention and comfort during his stay. I highly recommend them to anyone looking for a kind and affectionate sitter!”

“Ziwei was wonderful! She sent us photos of Frances every day and made sure not just that Frances’s needs were met but that she got ample attention, exercise, and play time too! I could not recommend Ziwei enough for dog sitting needs!”

“Joshua remained in touch constantly and was extremely attentive with my sometimes difficult pup. He sent videos and picture check ins daily which was much appreciated”


“Pamela is a great pet sitter and made sure my dog felt comfortable. She sent us a lot of pictures and updates during my dog’s stay and I could tell he was very happy. She was also very responsive and accommodating when I had changes in my travel plans. Thank you Pamela!”

“Rachel and John totally saved my butt!! I needed a Dogsitter for one day on short notice and they were able to help out. I had a wonky schedule that that were able to accommodate, and their pup loves mine. All winning all around. ”
“Syd was fantastic! Oliver instantly felt comfortable with Syd & that immediately put our mind at ease. We received daily updates with photos and they made our day :) highly recommend Syd & we will for sure be requesting her again!!!”

“SHE IS THE BEST AND THE ONLY PERSON I TRUST TO WATCH MY DOG ONYX LOVES HER AND IM SURE HE CANT WAIT TIL I GO ON VACATION AGAIN CAUSE HE GOING BACK TO HER FOR SURE”

“Bruno and Victoria were absolutely wonderful with my dog! From the moment we met them, they were kind, attentive, and genuinely caring. They kept me updated throughout the stay with photos and messages, which gave me so much peace of mind. It was clear that my dog was comfortable, well cared for, and received plenty of attention and affection. They were reliable, communicative, and treated my pet like one of their own. I came home to a happy, relaxed dog, which says everything about the quality of care they provided. I highly recommend Bruno and Victoria to anyone looking for trustworthy and compassionate pet sitters. I would definitely book with them again. Thank you both for taking such great care of my furry family member!”

“Amy did a fantastic job of keeping me informed about Romeo’s day. She is very sweet and attentive, and Romeo loved staying with her and her family. We will definitely use her services again!”


“Lindsay took such good care of my pup Mango for a whole three weeks while I went on vacation in July. A week prior my pup had a toe infection and Lindsay went above and beyond to care for her. As a dog mum It’s such a relief to find someone like Lindsay who loves your pup with all her heart and exercise the most tender care with them. She sent me pictures and updates throughout the time I was traveling. Lindsay was super professional from the get-go. She’s responsive and accommodating. Leave your pup with her you don’t have to worry about a thing. Lindsay is highly recommended from my personal experience. My pup is an elder dog with anxiety issues; Lindsay was so patient with her.”

Ashely was so great with Gus! Very communicative. Asked questions prior to watching him, sent photos and kept me updated on how he was doing during his stay. Those qualities are very important to me as a dog mom especially with an overly excited golden retriever. He came home tired so I know he had a good weekend with her!

Mahfuza was great, compassionate, kind & loving towards my baby boy Mimic 🐈⬛️ she also followed the instructions that was given to her. Mahfuza also has a orange baby boy herself & Mimic & him got along just fine. She also sent me pictures & videos daily of Mimic which I can see he was in great hands. I will refer Mahfuza to anyone that needs a loving Cat sitter. ⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️ Five stars all the way Thank you again Mahfuza you are truly the best 💯🫶🙌

Kevin and Chie were EXCELLENT! They cared for and treated my sweet Teddy sooooo amazing. I was updated throughout the days with lots of pictures and videos. Teddy was smiling the whole stay! Chie kept Teddy with her at all times. I will be rebooking FOR SURE next time. They are great and caring + very responsible! Thank you so much again!

I needed to find a last minute sitter as my usual one is unavailable. She is local to me which is great. We arranged for a meet and greet with our dogs and all went well (her dogs are so sweet!). She is very accommodating to my dog's needs and after picking her up the next day, she was so exhausted from a great time with Lauren and her family (humans and pets). We will definitely be booking with Lauren again!
I have used Robin's services before and it was easy to contact her and keep in touch with her. Robin made sure my cat ate even when she was in hiding. She sent me pictures and I was able to pick her up after the snow storm. I will always use Robin for my future needs.

Only sitters who have never booked with you before can schedule a Meet & Greet on Rover; however, you are welcome to coordinate one in Rover messages with sitters you have previously booked. 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.
