“Yvonne was great with our dog Chopper. We couldn't take him with us for the holidays and after a desperate search for the right match, we chose to board him with Yvonne. We were quite anxious to leave him behind for a week but from the start Yvonne was very accommodating, reassuring and great at communicating before and during boarding plus she patiently guided us through our first experience with Rover. Yvonne's house is very clean, spacious and has an awesome enclosed yard and safe neighborhood for walks. Her lovely dog Ziggy kept Chopper company and overall the process felt like leaving our dog with a good friend. I can highly recommend trusting Yvonne with your dog.”
“Lu took care of Choco for 4 days and he was very accommodating with drop off and pick up times. He sent photos and videos daily. He was responsive through texts and always replied promptly. Choco had a great time and will be booking again soon! Thank you.”
“Alissa was great with Chutney. We got regular updates with videos. We had some last minute changes with pick up, Alissa was very flexible and we didn’t have to worry. Would definitely recommend her.”
“Karine was absolutely wonderful. We could tell our pup was expertly cared for during our time away. He had an amazing time with Karine, her husband and the other dogs. She was very consistent with updates, and made us feel at ease during the whole stay. We would recommend her to anyone 1000%”
“Nicholas took great care of Bentley for us when we went out of town for 5 nights. His communication the entire time was great and handled everything with ease. We will definitely be using him again when we travel.”
“Jordan is pleasant and responsive. Latke was returned happy and healthy. He let me know that he had another booking that would overlap mine, which turned out OK but would have been an issue if the dogs didn’t get along. His apartment is small and it would have been difficult to keep the dogs separated. Also I would have appreciated more photos, especially on the first day with the other dog. He responded promptly with pictures when prompted. Overall, I would recommend him.”
“We used Samantha K. while visiting from out of town for a wedding, and we could not have been happier! It is always stressful leaving your pup in an unfamiliar city, but Samantha K gave us total peace of mind. We received regular updates and photos, which allowed us to fully relax and enjoy the wedding celebrations knowing our dog was in great hands. They were incredibly professional, flexible with our shifting schedule, and truly loved our dog like their own. We highly recommend Samantha K to anyone—local or traveling!"”
“Sara was very good about replying to our texts prior to meeting her and also while our dogs were staying with her. We received daily updates and photos which was very comforting to us being away on a trip. The dogs certainly enjoyed their stay and the loving attention they got during their stay. They also had lots of exercise and playtime. Our dogs also got along well with Sara's dog, Phil. It's wonderful to have found a responsible and reliable dog sitter in Sara.”
“Yaina was wonderful! We are so happy to have found her! She sent us videos and pictures of our dog during the stay. Yaina kept us updated and made me feel at ease that our dog was being well taken cared of.”
“Julia was terrific! She and Bailey hit it off right away. Got a bunch of pics with Bailey out for a walk, playing with toys and a restful night sleep. Will use Julia again!”
“It was such a pleasure to have Shirley watch our dog. He is a senior dog and requires additional attention. Shirley was amazing and keeping us up to date on how he was doing and he honestly was on vacation himself. He had so much fun!”
“Viera is our favorite sitter in Atlanta! I left my dog Javi with her for about 5 days, which was the longest I had ever left him with a Rover sitter. She sent multiple pics and/or videos every day - they were great quality and I could tell Javi had settled in super well. She was super responsive to my messages and it just gave me such a sense of relief to know he was in good hands while I was away. I cannot recommend her highly enough!”
“Juan took great care of my puppy! I was very nervous to leave her for the first time for the weekend, but she did great. Juan provided updates and my puppy seemed to be happy and tired when I picked her up! I think she loved being with Juan’s dog, and the large back yard to play. I highly recommend Juan.”
“William and his family have been amazing. I received updates and pictures every day I was away from my pitty and will absolutely be sending her back in the future. Thanks again William!”
“Dilania is exceptional if they had more than 5 stars i would exceed . She took amazing care of charlie he was so thrilled being there while she consistently kept us in communication with texts and videos. She comes along with a book of knowledge very experienced !! Charlie will be returning to her and only her . Stop scrolling and select Dilania if you want dedicated and nurturing knowledgeable care giver for your animal. Love Casper and Cody 🌻”
“My pug Charlie had another wonderful time with Abbie and Peachy. Charlie feels really safe with Abbie even though she is a little anxious and Peachy is a great friend that helps Charlie to stay active and socialized especially in this cold weather. Outstanding hosts!”

Dog parents share their Rover experiences - Locust Valley
It is such a luxury to go on vacation knowing my animals are in Danny’s care. He and his family treat my fur babies like members of their own family. During our trip, Danny even dressed Lilo in a Colombia soccer jersey so she could cheer on the game with them, and both dogs got to celebrate the Fourth of July as part of the family. He also reached out ahead of the fireworks to ask how they typically react so he could make them as comfortable and stress-free as possible. That level of thoughtfulness and genuine love for animals is rare. I never worry when they’re with Danny, and I can’t recommend him highly enough.
Danielle has taken care of our Cavapoo twice, and we couldn't be happier with the care she provided. She is dependable, attentive, and extremely professional. From the moment we met her, we felt confident that our dog was in great hands. She kept us updated, made sure all of our dog's needs were met, and treated him with genuine kindness and care. It gave us real peace of mind knowing he was safe, happy, and well cared for while we were away. We highly recommend Danielle to anyone looking for a trustworthy and caring dog sitter. We will definitely be booking her again!

Every sitter on Rover has their own rhythm and routine, but most will follow the flow that keeps your dog happiest. Sitters can give meals on your dog's regular schedule, provide a comfortable place for sleep, and plenty of one-on-one attention.
96% of Locust Valley sitters also include daily walks in the neighborhood during dog boarding stays. You can also request photo and message updates throughout the stay so you can see which Locust Valley landmarks or neighborhoods your dog is enjoying.
If your dog is a little shy, consider booking a one-night trial stay! This practice run can boost your and your dog’s confidence before your trip.
Preparing for drop-off is easy when you have a checklist! To help your dog settle into their Locust Valley 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 Locust Valley.
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 Locust Valley 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.
