“Karina was amazing from beginning to end. I felt a little skeptical about leaving my fur child with anyone unfamiliar. From texts before the drop off, Karina made me feel comfortable. I received texts, pics and videos of my dog continuously throughout the day to see my dog, adjusting to a new person and environment. I could see my bully taking to Karina very easily which gave me peace of mind while away. Karina was very attentive to my fur baby and making sure that she was her priority while under her care. When I picked up my dog the first thing I asked after expressing my appreciation was, if I ever have to leave my dog with anyone again, can I look you up on Rover and she said yes! I highly recommend anyone leaving your fur child with Karina who is attentive and sensitive to your pet adjusting to new people and surroundings. Amazing pet sitter. 5 stars ⭐️”
“This Sitter saved the day and my vacation by accepting to sit my 2 cats after my original sitter was not able todo it. I was informed about their progress during my week away and had no issues whatsoever. I was pleased with their service.”

Pepper was very warm to get and she kept me informed of how he was doing. Everything we extremely well and we are happy we chose her. We will most certainly use her services again!”
About: I grew up in a house with 3 dogs and have never known life with an empty house! I’ve been formally dog sitting for friends, family and clients since 2018 in my house on Long Island as well as in their apartments in Manhattan and Brooklyn. I was previously the assistant manager of a local dog day care and while some dogs do well in a boarding facility, I know how important it is for them to feel comfortable and stress free, and that can be in their home or mine! With over 20 repeat and regular clients who my relationship with them and their dogs spans across years, I have many referrals that can speak to my high level of care and love. I also am honored to have experience with senior aged dogs and those with medical conditions requiring medicine or special care and am happy and comfortable to provide it. Be prepared to receive a million picture and video updates from me of how we’re spending our days together so you don’t have to worry or wonder, and can enjoy your vacation as stress free as possible. Especially if you’re away during a holiday or even their birthday, we always celebrate with special treats, toys and activities so nothing is ever missed. When your pet is in my care, they become a member of my family and are treated as such! I work full time remotely from the comfort of my house, which allows me to spend all my time on the couch with the dogs I’m sitting for and take them to play in the backyard or for a walk whenever we want. I am able to accommodate and be flexible with bathroom and feeding schedules as necessary. I have a very large, fenced in backyard with grass and concrete that dogs are able to enjoy. I also have a doggy door if they are trained that they can access the backyard whenever they would like/need to potty (can also be locked shut!). I am happy to follow any specific care instructions no matter how unique or strange you might think they are, I’ve heard it all and love learning every dogs personality and quirks that make them who they are. The dogs I sit for are just like my own pets, they are welcome and encouraged to join me on furniture, to sleep in bed with me or can be crated if preferred and one is provided (although I certainly prefer cuddling with them if allowed!).
“I cannot say enough about Keyla’s wonderful care for my dog Bruno. She is warm, loving, attentive and communicative. As excited as Bruno was to reunite with me, he made sure to run back to Keyla to kiss her goodbye…never saw him do that before ? Do not have any hesitation leaving your pet with her!”
“Patty and Shane were the best dog sitters for my little girl. She doesn’t do well with other dogs so I didn’t want to board her for my wedding. They were so attentive to her and kept me updated on how she was doing with daily pictures! I would not hesitate to leave my dog with them! I’m so glad I found the perfect people to watch her whenever I need.”
“My Claire stayed with Samantha. She gave Claire space to settle down and get comfortable in a environment that was not home. I felt at ease leaving Claire with Samantha. I received pictures even it though it was slightly over a 24 stay. I would totally recommend Samantha!”
“Ashley was amazing, my family had an emergency and she accompanied us the same day and even work to extend to help us further. She was professional and responsive theoughoit.”
“She was great with Max. Max loved her, she is very kind and cooperative. She updated me with lovely pictures of him and took great care of him. I would definitely have her take care of him again.”
“Sharon and her family made us feel at ease about leaving Coco for the first time since we got him and they treated him like a part of their family for the time he was with them. Coco enjoyed his time with their dog, Duffy. She would send us updates and that made us more at ease. Thank you Sharon for taking care of Coco! Til next time!”
“I’m very happy to have found Juliana to watch our dog Benji while my husband and I went on our overdue honeymoon trip. We got updates and photos of him during his stay and he looked like he didn’t even miss us! We will definitely continue booking with her in the future!”
“So thankful to Sydney for her kindness and care looking after Dante over a long weekend. She was prompt, responsive, and professional. She sent us daily updates and photos that we looked forward to seeing as a family. Highly recommend.”
“Gustavo was an awesome sitter for my baby! He was so attentive and caring with my cat and made sure she got the best care and love. Would definitely recommend.”
“Rhonda did a phenomenal job caring for my 1 year old, highly energetic Pomeranian. She sent feedback (pictures) each day to let us know how he was doing AND she took him on a little adventure to Coney Island. From the moment I met her in person, I felt confident that I made the right choice in choosing her. You will not regret leaving your furry friend with Rhonda.”

Dear Khris!! My goodness, you work miracles!!! she’s a difficult girl in certain circumstances, and I was a little concerned about how she would be once I picked her up after her 2 1/2 days stay. Well, I am overjoyed, to say the least. I couldn’t have asked for better care. You have surpassed my expectations. I look very forward to seeing you in the future, and Dezi says so too!!!! Thank you so much for all of your special care.
Kristen was nice enough to watch our chocolate lab Colt while we were away for a few days and right away we knew we could have peace of mind because Colt was in good hands. From the moment she picked him up we received constant updates and pictures, and we could tell he was always being played with or out for a walk. I’m so happy that we had the opportunity connect our pup with Kristen and look forward to using her as a sitter again in the future. I’d absolutely recommend her to anybody
Susan was great - communicative, attentive, and incredibly responsible. While I was away, my dog unexpectedly got sick, and Susan handled everything with great care. It was definitely scary, but Susan never left Rio’s side and kept me updated the whole time. In the end, Rio luckily ended up being totally fine, and I was really grateful to have Susan there taking such good care of her.
Shushma and her family are amazing! She saved me during the last snow storm when the person meant to watch Haddie couldn’t get home due to flight cancellations and it was absolutely meant to be. She provided lots of updates and it was clear the family and their dogs had completely embraced Haddie as one of their own.
First time using Rover and couldn’t have had an easier experience. Jamie was awesome and kept me updated and at ease the whole time. When I came to pick Parker up he didn’t want to leave and he’s nice and tired from all the exercise. Will definitely be using Jamie again!

A Meet & Greet is a casual meeting to vet potential sitters and communicate care needs for peace of mind before a booking begins. 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.
