“Cynthia was great with my senior dog Lulu. Finding someone trustworthy and experienced to watch a senior dog can be stressful, but Cynthia gave me complete peace of mind. She was attentive, patient, and communicative. Highly recommend Cynthia to anyone looking for a loving and reliable pet sitter!”
About: I have experience fostering, rescuing and caring for dogs of all breeds, needs and sizes for over 12yrs. Neighbors and family members have relied on me to care for their pets often. I work from home and enjoy caring for pets and taking long walks. There’s a close by dog park for those who enjoy that or trails to take a nice walk. I strive to make every animal I care for feel at home. Whatever that looks like for them I will do my best to accommodate. If they like being in a crate to sleep or feel more comfortable sleeping in the bed I am all for it.
“Aliyah was great with Toulouse. He’s a pretty nervous dog and was recovering from heat exhaustion and ripped up paws and she (and Deuce!) were incredibly loving, gentle, and patient with him.”
“Michelle was great! She responded quickly and sent several pictures throughout the day. Our pup had a great day with her and even got a special treat to take home. We will definitely use her again!”
“Django is always happy to go to Joanna. She takes great care of him and receiving pictures throughout the day showing what Django is doing makes me feel great knowing that he is being well cared for. I highly recommend Joanna to care for your bestie.”
“We really appreciated and not being able to take our Sofie so last minute. She was very pleasant and friendly. Her accommodations were clean and orderly. Sofie took to her right away. I know that if I’m in the area, she is the person I will call!”
About: What sets me apart is that I treat every pet like they’re my own. I’m patient, attentive, reliable, and comfortable adapting to each pet’s personality and routine. I have experience caring for young, energetic pets and understand the importance of consistency, exercise, and positive reinforcement. I’m also comfortable with pets that need extra attention or a calmer environment. My priority is making sure your pet feels safe, comfortable, and cared for while you’re away. I work from home most days, so pet sitting fits perfectly into my schedule. I’m available throughout the day to provide consistent attention, care, walks, and supervision. I have a large fenced yard. I also have plenty of toys for them. I do have small friendly dogs that love to play. I provide a clean, calm, and secure environment where pets feel comfortable, supervised, and cared for, with fresh water, safe spaces, and plenty of attention.
“Karina is polite, trustworthy and very attentive when we have our watch our dog. She sends lots of pictures and videos and keeps me updated throughout my dogs visit!”
“Grace was able to take Caleb on a last minute request for daycare. She was very friendly, knowledgeable about dogs, and was open to answering any questions I had. Her backyard is cute and has space for dogs to run and play and the area inside where she keeps the dog is spacious for play and comfortable. Will def book again. Thanks again Grace!”
“Theresa is amazing - she was a natural with our girl, even though she is strong and suffers from separation anxiety,Theresa was able to calm her down and have a great afternoon ❤️”
“Eric took such wonderful care of my 7 lb dog, Shelby! Shelby is a small pup who needs a lot of extra love and attention, and Eric made sure she felt safe, cozy, and completely showered with affection the entire time. I was updated regularly and had total peace of mind knowing Shelby was in such gentle, caring hands. It can be so hard to find someone you trust, but Eric went above and beyond. We will definitely be rebooking!”
“Caitlyn was an excellent dog sitter. I could tell from all the tail wagging that my pup enjoyed her company very much. She sent me many pictures and updates! She also made sure to take him for a walk while in her care. I feel she cared for my dog as if he were her own, and I would definitely leave Oaklin in her care again.”
“Vanessa and her family are phenomenal. You know when she cares for your fur-baby that they will be apart of the family. Vanessa sent pictures of my Bella every day, of her playing and having fun or just chilling with her family and her dogs. I highly recommend her services.”
“Wonderful and safe experience. Brutus maintained his normal schedule. He was able to run and play in a safe environment both inside and out. He got lots of exercise and enjoyed his stay. Thank you for taking good care of Brutus.”
“Peggy was so communicative and accommodating for my dog Auri. She made sure she was comfortable right away and sent updates the whole time, even though it was only a couple hours. She took Auri on and hike and found space so she could run around. Thank you again for both of us!”
“Ingrid was absolutely amazing! She took fantastic care of our golden retriever on Thanksgiving. We received multiple updates with videos and pictures throughout the day and Ingrid was quick to respond as well. Kennedy enjoyed running around in the yard! Highly recommend Ingrid and we will be using her again!”
“Trying to find a great babysitter has been one of the hardest thing I’ve ever had to do especially since I own a large breed puppy! Those feelings changed after I met Vanessa and her family. They are the most loving family I’ve ever met! I felt very assured that my german shepherd puppy was in good hands. I cannot thank Vanessa enough for the amazing service she has provided!”
About: I have been living with a dog (at one time with 3) since 2010. We recently said goodbye to our lab/retriever mix and are not quite yet ready to adopt a dog again but we miss having a dog around. As a pet parent I understand how stressful it can be finding reliable care and finding someone who will love your dog as much you do. It can also be tough when you find out you have to work late and will need someone to come to your rescue to let your baby out and feed them. When I’m not walking dogs, I’m taking care of my human children (who also love dogs) which means I have a somewhat flexible schedule, and I spend a lot of time outdoors. We have always found lots of fun outdoor bonding opportunities everywhere we have lived with our dog. We both love being outside and being active and I would love to share this hobby with your dog too! I am a full time mom to two school aged children. I have reliable blocks of availability for the most part. I am in and out during the day and my husband works from home a lot of the time as qell. We’re very big on walks, dog parks, fetch (our sweet pup was inexhaustible and could play fetch for hours), and my kids practically live in our yard so I’m outdoors a lot when I’m home. When caring for a pet in a client’s home, I follow the care instructions given by the pet parent.

Cynthia was amazing! She sent me updates throughout the day, pictures and videos. Ken has such a blast that now he waits by the car door before our walks in hopes to see and play with Cynthia again. It's clear to me that Cynthia truly loves what she does and that is reflected in how well she cared for Ken!
Caitlin was wonderful with my Lucas. I highly recommend her. It was the first time I left Lucas with someone besides family for the day and Caitlin was fantastic! Lucas is an older dog and has special needs that Caitlin was able to provide. She sent photos and updates during his stay and took him for walks which he hadn’t done for some time and since then he has extra pep in his step and we are back to taking short walks. Lucas was in great hands with Caitlin and I will feel comfortable and have peace of mind leaving him in her care at the next opportunity.

Sitters on Rover can offer flexible scheduling, so you can coordinate times that work best for you and your pet—whether that’s early drop-off or later pick-up to match your Malverne commute.
If your schedule changes, it’s best to let your sitter know through the app as early as possible. Many sitters can adjust pick-up and drop-off times when needed.
Think of doggy day care as your dog’s fun, supervised play date that happens to fit into your workday. Day care through Rover takes place in a real home. This offers a calmer and more personalized environment for your pup.
A typical day can include companionship, one-on-one attention, and same day pick-up and drop-off. Many sitters can also offer structured routines and exercise throughout the day. For recurring, weekly day care, sitters will include photo updates so you can see your dog in their element.
Here are tips for finding the ideal day care fit for your dog:
- For some small dogs: In-home day care can be the perfect fit. Look for sitters whose "can host" section only lists dogs weighing 0–7 kilograms and/or 7–18 kilograms. During your Meet & Greet, ask about play areas based on dog size and energy level.
- For high-energy dogs: The ideal doggy day care can offer scheduled breaks and outdoor spaces or activities. You can also find sitters who host multiple dogs to satisfy your pup’s socializing needs.
- For dogs who prefer human-only companionship: Use the filters "Doesn't own a dog" and "Only accepts one pet at a time" to find the right care.
Play groups can be an option when you book with a day care sitter through Rover. Many sitters do host a small number of dogs at the same time. Smaller dog packs are generally safer, more fun, and ideal for dogs who enjoy playtime but also want to relax throughout the day. When looking for your dog’s pack, check the sitter’s profile to see if they "Accept multiple clients" or have their own dogs. Then during the Meet & Greet, you can see whether your dog is a good fit for their social circle!
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.
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 .
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.
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 Meet & Greet .
