“I had an amazing experience with Rick! He took exceptional care of my dog and treated him like his own. He was reliable, communicated regularly with updates and photos, and made sure all his needs were met.”
“Lourdes and her family provided a wonderful home away from home for our beagle Snoopy. We are so grateful for the attention, care and love they shared with him. He is a shy and nervous guy but he instantly felt safe with Lourdes and was able to come out of his shell and enjoy himself. What a wonderful experience!”
“Amber did a great job taking care of our two pups for a couple of days! They got lots of socializing with the whole family. Her dog and cat got a long very well with our dogs and we got photo and text updates. Would recommend and plan on booking with Amber again!”
“Tetiana was incredible. She sent pictures of our dog 🐕 though out the boarding stay and she is great with communication. Our dog loves going to her home. I would highly recommend her.”
“Cara and Dan were wonderful to work with. Sadie is a rescue and can be very skittish so I was delighted that she was so comfortable at their house. She warmed up to Cara more than Dan but I really liked both of them very much and would book again! Thanks Cara and Dan for providing a safe and caring environment for Miss Sadie🐶”
“Thomas was amazing! He sent lots of pictures of fun adventures each day, and was flexible with us when our flight got delayed and we had to change when we were picking our dog up.”
“Hanna is a perfect partner when choosing someone to care for your beloved pet. She is energetic, and loves being around her guests based on the photos that she provides. I would highly recommend her.”
“Aaron and Rachel were wonderful to work with! They were very friendly, responsive, and made everything so easy. They watched our two high energy girls overnight and took great care of them. We really appreciated how comfortable and well cared for our pups were while we were away. We will definitely use Aaron and Rachel again for any future stays!”
“If you’re looking for someone to watch your dog - look no further! Jose is an amazing dog whisperer who took the best care of our 11 year old Aussie while we were away for a few weeks. Communication was quick and easy, our pup came home happy and tired - highly recommend!”
“Hollis was fantastic! This was our second stay and Scout had tons of fun and cuddles❤️ Traffic was bad to pick Scout up and Hollis was incredibly kind and understanding. Scout looks forward to staying with Hollis again!”
“Aimee was amazing with our baby Bacon! She sent updates and pictures daily and made sure he was happy and well cared for during his visit. We WILL be returning for all future boarding as long as she will have us ? absolutely incredible and gave us complete peace of mind while we were away. Thank you again Aimee!”
“David was amazing! He was super accommodating about a last minute booking, and sent lots of sweet pics of my pup having fun and getting loved on. He came back tired from all the playing and fun he had.”
“Thank you so much Nicole for accommodating my almost 13 year old dog who is set in his ways. I am glad that he got along well and learned to socialize with the resident pets in your house.”
“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.”
“Corrie took great care of Berkeley. When we came home it was like he had a vacation and was tired and happy. Corrie texted us every day and sent photos, even taking him to Estes Park. Berkeley is an active dog and Corrie is a runner so they got lots of exercise.”
About: I’ve been around dogs my entire life! Growing up with both Pomeranians and German Shepherds gave me experience with dogs of all sizes, personalities, and energy levels. I’m a nurturing, patient, and responsible person who genuinely loves animals. Whether it’s going for walks, playing, cuddling, or simply keeping your dog company, I want every pet in my care to feel safe, comfortable, and loved. I have two children, ages 14 and 5, and we enjoy having animals around. I don’t currently have pets of my own, so your furry family member will receive plenty of attention and affection! I have a flexible schedule that allows me to make time for your furry family members. I’m available for boarding, drop-in visits, and dog walking, including weekdays and weekends. I can accommodate different routines and will make sure your pet receives plenty of attention, exercise, and companionship. Your pet’s safety and comfort are always my priority. I provide a loving, clean, and comfortable home environment where dogs can feel relaxed and welcome. I have two children, ages 14 and 5, so I welcome dogs who are comfortable around children. I believe in maintaining familiar routines, providing plenty of supervision, and keeping owners updated with pictures and messages so you can enjoy peace of mind while you’re away.

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 Linwood 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 Linwood 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 Linwood.
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 Linwood. On Rover:
- 92% 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 Linwood 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.
