“Kim was fantastic, and my dog was so happy at her house. Kim sent lots of photos, and communicated well. I am so happy with Kim’s services, and will be returning again soon. Thank you!”
“Kate was great with our 2 dogs' second experience with Rover. Our smaller one is an anxious rescue who takes a while to get comfortable. Kate was patient and understanding with her. I definitely recommend boarding with her.”
“I could not have had a better first time experience for my shy girl. So many pics and videos that I could see her settling in and quickly getting comfortable. She looked so at home by the end! Lourdes is very loving and attentive. Her dog Yoko is so sweet and laid back she would get along with anyone. She makes a great companion. Lucy especially loved all the outdoor time, the back yard is huge! We will be back at our next opportunity!!”
“Marie was an amazing sitter for Billie! She sent so many pictures and updates. It was clear Billie was well taken care of and having a blast. Will absolutely be using Marie again!”
“Excellent stay! Our pup got love and attention and someone was always home. The house is comfortable and welcoming. The fenced-in yard is a must! Kathleen had no problems with our specific dietary needs and Sammie came home happy and not stressed at all. Will use again!”
“⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️ 5/5 – Amazing Sitter! I booked Lesley to watch my little Evee, and I could not have asked for a better experience! From the moment we met her, she was warm, attentive, and genuinely caring. She treated Evee like her own baby, kept me updated, and made sure she felt safe, loved, and comfortable the entire time. Evee came home happy, relaxed, and clearly very well taken care of. Lesley went above and beyond in every way, and it gave me so much peace knowing my girl was in such good hands. I would absolutely book her again and highly recommend her to anyone looking for a trustworthy and loving sitter! 🐶💖”
“Anastasia watched Willow for two weeks while we were in Europe. She sent us updates periodically which was perfect since we were on vacation. Our daughter picked up Willow at the end and said that Willow was content and calm which means Willow had a good time adjusting. We will definitely use Anastasia again!”
“Erin was incredible!! This was my first time in 14.5 years of having Brooklyn leaving her with someone who wasn’t a family member or friend and I was nervous! Erin made me feel so comfortable and eased all of my anxieties. She took great care of Brooklyn and provided great pictures with updates. Your pet will be in great hands with Erin!”
“✋ Stop Scrolling ✋ You found the perfect Rover Boarder 🏆 Alex and Bethany were absolutely amazing caregivers for our dog Maya while we were out of town. From the first day it was clear that we’d left Maya with true dog lovers that would care for and spoil her like a member of their family. They have a wonderful fenced-in yard and from their lovely daily photo+video messages, it’s clear they spend plenty of time enjoying the outdoors with their guest. We also appreciated that they only book overlapping dogs with clear permission from the parents, clearly giving dedicated attention to each dog and very healthy socialization when overlapping.”
“This was my pooch's third stay in 10 weeks, and everything was great. As always, I appreciate the daily updates w/pictures & confirmation that all is well, meds taken, played or walked, etc. I am appreciative & thankful for the attentive care for my dog while I'm out of town.”
“This was the first time Sunny was cared for outside his own surroundings and his first time meeting a dog. Maria was very thoughtful about Sunny’s firsts. Sunny is an investigator and enjoyed all the opportunities for adventure with Maria and her family. Maria sent photos and messages throughout the week, which we appreciated. When we need another boarding opportunity we will absolutely contact Maria.”
“Kaitlyn is amazing!! I felt so much better knowing my dog was with her. She sent me pictures and updates each day. My dog got to run around and play with her dogs I doubt she wanted to leave. Kaitlyn was also super accommodating and kept my dog for a whole extra day during the holidays when flights got canceled. Absolute life saver would definitely recommend her!!”
“I have found a solid option for bookings for my pup Blaze. Luke, his wife and their 2 pups took great care of my guy. It looks like he had a great time staying with them and being part of the family for the day. I will be booking with them very often.”
“Thomas was wonderful with our airedale terrier. He sent pictures and updates about their adventures. Our dog has food allergies and Thomas was able to make sure he did not come into contact with them. We will look forward to hiring him in the future.”
“Carol is wonderful!!Excellent care for our minature schnauzer . We received a picture with a note everyday . We called to check if she had any questions and she was very receptive and kind. Very safe clean environment . Beautiful back yard for walks . Carol is very knowledgeable about dogs!! Highly recommend !!”
About: I’ve grown up with dogs my entire life and have cared for several family dogs over the years, including American Akitas and a Husky and Australian Shepherd mix. I’m comfortable with different breeds, personalities, and energy levels. I enjoy walks, playtime, and making sure each dog feels safe, comfortable, and cared for while you’re away. I recently graduated and am currently looking for a job, which gives me a flexible schedule during the week and on weekends. I have plenty of time to provide pets with attention, playtime, walks, and companionship. I enjoy making sure pets stay active, happy, and comfortable while their owners are away. I have a comfortable home with plenty of trees, nearby walking trails, and a river area where dogs can enjoy outdoor time. Since my yard is not fenced, I always use a leash and supervise dogs during potty breaks and walks to make sure they stay safe. I also have my own cat, Eartha, who is friendly and enjoys meeting people. I understand that every pet has their own personality, so I take the time to help them feel comfortable and follow each owner’s instructions to provide the best care possible.
“This was the first time I have ever left my dog with another person, and safe to say I wasn’t disappointed. Megan was an amazing sitter for my 60lbs pit-bull, Polar. He enjoyed my walks and cuddles during his stay. Megan sent many pictures and updates, and followed all the guidelines that we gave. Honestly, we could not have asked for better. Polar will indeed be back!!!”

Abigail watched our two dogs last minute and it was such a huge relief knowing they were staying with such a sweet family! Our boys can be anxious staying with new people, but Abigail sat with them and made sure they were comfortable. Her house is such a perfect setup for dogs. We would definitely use Abigail again when we’re in the area.

On Rover, sitters set their own rates based on factors such as their experience, the length of care, the number of pets, and your pet’s specific needs.

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 Lima 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 Lima 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 Lima.
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 Lima. On Rover:
- 94% 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 Lima 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.
