“Erika was amazing. She kept me posted all the time with pictures and she helped my boy with his anxiety of staying away from us. The peace of mind of finding someone we can trust our dog with its really the best.”
“Rich was amazing! This was our first time with Rich and also the first time my pup stayed with anyone outside of family. My pup has pretty bad separation anxiety and Rich did such an amazing job at making him feel comfortable. He makes it a point to make sure all the dogs are feeling comfortable and getting along. My pup warmed up to the situation quickly and seemed to have a great time. He offers to send pics/videos as much or as little.. i of course opted for as much and I was updated every day throughout the day! I traveled from Brooklyn and it feels well worth it. Will continue to use him as my dogs watcher!”
“This was our second time boarding Billie with Sonia and her family, and we are so glad to have found someone local who takes such good care of Billie! Thank you to Sonia, Brian, and Vivian!”
“Nicole was a fantastic caretaker for my 2 dogs! Dealing with a 6 month old Bernadoodle is not an easy task and she kept him out of trouble. She sent daily updates and made sure my older dog had his medicine every day and even gave him a bath. Both of them came back in great spirits and it is all thanks to Nicole! Would recommend 10/10 times to anyone who needs help watching their pets by someone who truly knows dogs.”
“Lily took great care of our senior dog Norman! She and her family kept in great contact with us, and met our little guy at his energy level - providing cuddles, soft beds, and calm outdoor time, but also willing to take him out for more adventures when he was up for it. They made sure he integrated well with their sweet dog. We'd absolutely her to watch him again!”
“Jessica was really good with my dog Apollo it was his first time being away from the family and she made sure to make him feel welcomed in her home I got updates videos and picture Apollo also had an upset stomach while with and she took good care of him and made him feel better”
“We are so grateful for the amazing care you gave Cloud while we were away! You went above and beyond—keeping us updated the whole time and sending the sweetest pictures that truly put our mind at ease. It was clear he was in great hands. Til next time!”
“I am writing to highly recommend Rosemarie as a dog sitter. She recently took care of my dog for the weekend in her home, and I could not be more pleased with the experience. From the moment I dropped off my dog, it was clear that Rosemarie is a true animal lover with a deep understanding of canine needs. She welcomed my dog with warmth and made him feel right at home. Throughout the weekend, she provided regular updates and photos, which greatly reassured me that my dog was in good hands and enjoying his stay. Rosemarie's home is clean, safe, and dog-friendly, providing plenty of space for play and relaxation. Her fenced in back yard allowed my dog plenty of time to run and play. Upon picking up my dog, he was happy and well-cared for, demonstrating that he had received excellent attention and care. Rosemarie went above and beyond in her role as a dog sitter, and I am grateful for the peace of mind she provided during my time away. I highly recommend Rosemarie to anyone in need of a responsible, caring, and professional dog sitter. Your pup will be in excellent hands with her.”
“I cannot recommend Stephen enough. He took amazing care of our Buddy while we were away. He communicated and sent us videos and updates every day. He was cautious when introducing Buddy to the other dogs in his care and we had a meet and greet prior to the stay which I appreciate, he goes above and beyond to make sure the dogs in his care are compatible to keep all dogs safe. I look forward to using him in the future and I know Buddy will too. You can see that dogs in Stephens care are treated as his own and that is so comforting when leaving your dog in his care.”
“Bruno had such a good stay with Donna and we felt completely comfortable leaving him somewhere new because of our previous visit and her great communication! He keeps running to the car wagging his tail since returning home- I think he is hoping to return for a visit!”
“Kenniqua was amazing! She took such special care of my Dolly. She went above and beyond, giving her such wonderful care. Dolly will love going back there anytime! 🐾❤️”
“Took great care of both of my dogs. One can be a little complicated around other dogs, but Annemarie handled him with aplomb. I felt super confident in her skills and grateful for her kind attention to them. Will definitely use her again!!!!”
“Anner did an amazing job with my dog Leo. Updates and responses were quick and consistent. The enviroment is loving and nuturing. My dog Leo loved playing in the fenced in backyard. I would definitely use Anner again as well as recommend Anner to other friends and colleagues.”
“Joe, the dog-whisperer, did a great job for us. We had used him a couple of times for a night or two and we were going on a two-week cruise. We had him stay at the house with Barry, our beagle. He located himself in our finished basement suite, brought his own provisions and was very respectful of our house. He got Barry to fetch and was working on "paw" with him. We got great updates while we were away. He and Barry got along great.”
“Another great stay with Valerie! This is my 9 month old, Pointer puppy's second overnight stay. Valerie is very flexible with drop off & pick up times. My puppy was able to play with other dogs & had exercise even with the frigid temperatures. I also received photos & an update about how things were going!”
“Gretchen took excellent care of my dog while I was away. He seemed very happy during his stay. I also received daily photos and updates about how he was doing. I'll definitely use Gretchen's services again.”
“Volha and Cristian saved the day by agreeing to watch our dog Milly for the weekend with just two days notice — and even transporting her from Brooklyn to Poughkeepsie and pack. I can tell Milly has the best time upstate with their family, and Volha’s great pictures and daily updates always make traveling so easy and stress-free. Can’t ask for a better sitter!”
“My cat Stan was boarded for a few nights at Bianca’s. She took excellent care of him and he felt very comfortable there. She posted many pictures and provided updates. Thanks for your great service!”
Dog parents share their Rover experiences - Lake Carmel
Our Josie had a great time at Tina's house! The entire family was welcoming and loving towards her, and she came home 'happy tired' from the evening and day of play. They have a huge fenced yard, and Josie was able to run to her heart's content with their dog - and my only hope is that she's not lonely at our house now! Tina sent a cute picture of the dogs together, and that was so comforting to receive while we were away. This was our first time leaving our furbaby with anyone, but the meet and greet we did with Tina in advance immediately put our minds at rest, and the overnight stay just confirmed our initial good feeling. We will definitely be booking Tina for overnight stays again, and would recommend her to anyone looking for great care for their dog!
Our dogs had the best time! The fenced in yard is secure and gave them a great area to run around and play in. Jen sent a lot of pictures and updates and made us feel really comfortable while our dogs stayed with them. Looking forward to having them watch our dogs again!!

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 Lake Carmel home-away-from-home, 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 Lake Carmel.
<b>Tip:</b> 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 Lake Carmel 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 , 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 .
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.
