“We had a fabulous time with Daniel and Victoria! They are wonderful hosts, We were treated extra special ! ALL the time ! We got to play in the yard, go for walks on the trail, sleep in their very comfy bed and have delicious meals and snacks while we all hung out on the couch and watched TV- We loved how calm, clean, and quiet their home is, especially Mabel, because she’s a bit shy and doesn’t like it when it too loud. Daniel and Victoria let us come over for a visit before our stay, just to make sure we all felt comfortable- We can’t wait to come back for another visit ! Thanks again Daniel and Victoria ! Love Bosco and Mabel - ( Sara too)”

About: Hi, I'm Manuela I've had dogs my entire life, and caring for them is truly my passion. I've also volunteered as a foster home for dogs rescued from high-risk shelters, so I have experience with pups from all kinds of backgrounds especially those needing a little extra love and patience. At home, I live with my sweet, spayed female dog named Mocca. She's very friendly and gets along well with others, so your pup will have a built-in buddy to play with and feel at ease around! Whether you're looking for a day sitter or need someone you can trust while you're away, I provide a safe, loving environment where your dog will be treated like family. I also speak Spanish, so feel free to reach out in either language! Looking forward to meeting you and your furry friend! I work from home full-time, so I’m always available to give your dog the attention, care, and companionship they deserve throughout the day. I’m also available to go for a walk or take a trip to the dog park since it’s only 5 min away from home. We also have a fenced yard, giving your pup a safe and secure space to play, explore, and burn off some energy while being safe.

“Cindy was the best! Would highly recommend. We were in a tight because our son's surgery was rescheduled for earlier than expected and she agreed to watch our dog Remy very last minute. She was thorough in understanding his feeding/sleeping/bathroom needs and sent pics of him during his stay! She was easy to reach at all times and responded very quickly. She took him out for walks and played with him indoors when the weather got bad. We are grateful for such a caring thorough sitter and will definitely be reaching out to her to watch our Remy again. Thank you, Cindy!!!!!”

About: Looking for a caring and dependable pet sitter while you're at work or on vacation? I offer up to four drop-in visits a day, making sure your pets stay safe, happy, and stress-free in the comfort of their home! With years of experience caring for pets of all kinds, I know how important it is to give each one the love and attention they deserve! Whether your cat needs a quick check-in while you're at work or your dog needs full-time care while you're away. I provide a variety of pet sitting services, including feeding, walks, playtime, and medication administration as needed. My flexible scheduling means we can create a plan that works perfectly for you and your pets. You'll receive daily updates with potty reports and photos of your pets. I’m also happy to water plants, take out the trash, check the mail, and bring in packages while you're away. I also have years of experience with horses and farm animals, including mucking stalls, turnout, feeding, and grooming. Contact for rates! I have many flexible scheduling options for short walks or check-ins while you're away at work, or long terms pet care while you're away on vacation. As a professional pet sitter, I understand that each pet has its own unique needs and personality. That's why I take the time to get to know each pet I care for in my client's home, so I can provide them with the best possible care. When I arrive at your home, I will first greet your pet and provide them with food and water, as well as any medications or supplements they require. I will also spend time playing with your pet, giving them plenty of attention and affection. During my visit, I will take your dog for a walk, giving them the exercise and fresh air they need to stay healthy and happy. If you have a cat, I will spend time playing with them and keeping their litter box clean. I will also make sure your home is safe and secure, checking that all doors and windows are locked and that your pet has access to any areas they need. Throughout my visit, I will keep you informed of your pet's well-being, sending you updates and photos so you can see how your furry friend is doing. Above all, I will treat your pet with the same care and attention that I would give to my own pets, ensuring they feel loved and well-cared for while you're away.

About: Originally from upstate NY, I spent time working as a professional veterinary assistant in Atlanta, GA while in school. In this role, I worked directly under a veterinarian to monitor, clean, and provide medical check-ups for dogs at local pet centers, while also providing care for other animals at a boarding and daycare resort. With this hands-on experience, I am deeply familiar with dog health, sanitization, and administering medications. I enjoy spending time with dogs, understand how to spot early signs of illness, and know how to keep dogs on a fun and healthy routine. Since moving back to upstate NY, I do part-time work as a tech consultant from home. This allows me to give plenty of attention to your pet, while also providing plenty of outdoor activities. My wife also works from home, which allows her the flexibility to help as well. Our house is situated right next to the D&H Canal trail, and we take regular walks on a daily basis.Whether your dog is a growing puppy who needs attentive care or an older dog who requires a reliable, experienced handler, my top priority is maintaining their health, safety, and happiness while you are away. My wife and I both work part-time from home, which gives us highly flexible schedules to prioritize your pet's care throughout the week. Our daily routine naturally includes multiple walks along the scenic D&H Canal trail, which directly borders our property. Because our work keeps us at home, guest pets enjoy consistent supervision, frequent potty breaks, and plenty of playful companionship. Our home sits far back from the road at the end of a long driveway, offering a very quiet, safe environment. We sit on 10 acres of land, featuring 3 groomed acres for supervised play and 7 acres of private woods. While our yard is only partially fenced, we have two large, fully enclosed decks that are completely fenced in—perfect for safe sunbathing, lounging, and secure outdoor activities. We also utilize a collapsible fence that we can pull out and set up to create customized secure boundaries if necessary. For exercise, dogs are strictly supervised and kept on-leash as we head down the driveway to our private access point for the D&H Canal trail, keeping them completely away from traffic.

About: I recently had a German shepherd that lived to 14 years old. I know how to care for senior dogs, I know what it entails. I have no problem administering medicine. He also wasn't friendly with other dogs and I know it's hard to find sitters who also don't have animals. I do not have any animals in my home which will allow me and my family to give all the time, love and attention to your fur baby. I am a stay-at-home mom so I can give your pet plenty of attention. I have a fenced-in backyard that your dog can roam and I like to go on walks. Your dog is allowed to freely roam around my home. I can also crate if needed if you provide the crate. I have a fenced backyard that the dog can access at any time and I have 3 children who would absolutely LOVE to play with and spoil your dog once home from school. If I am at a client's home, I can do whatever the client would like me to do. Feed, fill up the water bowl, administer medicine, let the dog outside and play with him/her in the backyard for a while. I just want the animal to feel comfortable, loved and taken care of.

“Maryline was my favorite Rover sitter yet, and I've had some great ones! She and her sweet family welcomed Olive with open arms. I got cute pictures and videos from Maryline everyday, and I joked that Olive wasn't going to want to come home. I will definitely call Maryline first next time I need a sitter!”

Frequently asked questions about Rover

Rover is the largest marketplace for local pet care. Whether you're looking for pet sitters, dog walkers, or house sitters who specialize in pet sitting, you can narrow your search by entering your ZIP code to find sitters within walking distance in your neighborhood.

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.

Depending on the sitter, their home environment, and your dog’s needs, daily exercise 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 Howells 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 Howells.

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 Howells 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.
