“Victoria was wonderful! She kept our dog while we were in town for a football game. She was an excellent communicator and responded quickly. We were so thankful for her.”
“Randi was great with Bridget! She kept me informed and sent me pictures so I could see my girl!!! Bridget looked happy and I was happy that she was at a home away from home! I would highly recommend Randi!”
“Alyssa is amazing!!! She kept us updated the entire week she had Walter with pictures, videos and messages! She took him on walks and game him lots of love! She’s the best (and so is Butters, her pup!)! Highly recommend!!”
“Feel absolutely blessed to have Ashley watch our dog for us when we are out of town. Our dog feels right at home at her house every time which says so much about the care Ashley gives him!”
“Suliel has kept my pup many times and we’ve always had a great experience. Piper seems excited to visit their family. Suliel responds to booking requests super fast and is very accommodating to pick up and drop off times.”
“Kymberly and her 9-yr-old daughter were a perfect fit for our active border collie/German short-haired pointer mix dog. They have a dog friendly home and fenced yard and provided our dog loving care and a variety of outdoor recreation and fun. I would give more stars if that was an option! We hope they will be available in the future.”
“Claire was so wonderful with our precious pup, Penny. From start to finish, she kept our minds at ease knowing Penny was well cared for and getting lots of love in between. She was flexible with our timeline and went out of her way to accommodate us. If you’re looking for a caring, dependable dog sitter, Claire is your girl!”
“Ash was just wonderful!! She provided a “meet and greet” before the booking, was a great communicator throughout our pup’s stay and sent daily pictures. Will definitely use her again!”
“Kim is a superb dog sitter! My dog, Leo, loves staying with her and her dogs (especially Rynnie). Sends great updates with pictures everyday. Highly recommend! Thanks, Kim, for loving on Leo while we were gone!”
“Was a little nervous boarding my dog for the first time since my pup is an older hound mix. She took everything into consideration and kept me updated promptly and professionally with pictures. Bowie loved his stay and made some new friends while he was at it. I would highly recommend boarding with her.”
“Courtney was wonderful to book with, we had the utmost confidence in her care of our senior dog. She opened up her home to our elderly dog Elias and was communicative, professional and kind. We will happily be re-booking with her again in the future. Thank you again!”
“Jessi is an exceptional dog sitter who went above and beyond to ensure my dog's well-being and my peace of mind. Her dedication to understanding my dog's needs was evident from the start, and the regular updates she sent while I was away were incredibly reassuring. Despite our flight cancellations, Jessi remained understanding and accommodating, even going the extra mile to drop off my dog at home after our long journey. My dog returned happy, healthy, and smelling amazing, a true testament to the love and care she received. Jessi's thoughtful, organized and attentive approach sets her apart, and I wholeheartedly recommend her to anyone in need of a trustworthy and loving dog sitter!”
About: My name is Patrick, my family has owned 6 dogs all from when they were puppies, I love dogs and will care for yours as if they are my own. I will walk with the dogs (run if requested) currently I have two dogs marlow and mimi one suffers from epilepsy so I know what to do if there are any problems with the dog or dogs. I can brush and groom dogs, I previously had a husky so I am used to shedding. My dogs love to go on walks, when I walk them I usually avoid taking the same route so they can have new smells and it seems to be more enjoyable for them. I love to meet new animals and learn about different breeds of dogs.
“Jake was great with Maya! He asked lots of great questions from the beginning and clearly was excited to spend time with her. He took her to the park, played with her and even got her a ball. I would highly recommend him!”
“If I could give Nora 20 stars I would! She is always so good to us and she’s amazing with my fur babies. She is so kind, caring, and an amazing communicator. Everyone should book with her, except on the weekends we need her ❤️😂 I’m not sure how we would survive without her!”
About: I’ve had dogs and cats all my life and genuinely love caring for animals. I’m patient, responsible, and attentive to each pet’s individual needs. I’m comfortable with feeding, walks, playtime, giving pets plenty of attention, and keeping them safe and comfortable while their owners are away. I treat every pet like they’re my own and want them to feel happy, loved, and cared for. I work from home, so I’m able to give your pet plenty of attention and companionship throughout the day. I also have a dog and cat of my own, so I’m used to having pets around and keeping them happy and comfortable. I have a flexible schedule and can make time for walks, playtime, feeding, and lots of love and attention. 🐾❤️ I have a fenced yard where dogs can safely play, run around, and get some exercise. My cat is comfortable around dogs, and I also have a friendly dog of my own, so your pet can have some company if they’re comfortable with other animals. I’ll always make sure every pet feels safe, comfortable, and cared for while they’re with me. 🐾❤️

Randi was great! She helped us feel comfortable immediately. During the meet and greet she took us, her dog, and our dog on a walk to get acclimated to each other. She provided her knowledge about techniques she’s found helpful in working with our little one. During the booking she sent us photos daily and stayed in contact about everything. I would 100% recommend having your animals cared for by Randi!
Jessi did a wonderful job with our girl! She has a very clean environment, individual kennel space and we loved receiving the daily pictures. Our girl felt right at home besides having more fur friends to play with. She came home very happy. We highly recommend her. Truly worth every penny!
⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️ 5/5 — Amazing Dog Sitter! I recently had my dog cared for by Colton and I couldn’t be happier with the experience. From the moment we met, it was clear that they genuinely love and understand animals. They treated my dog like family, and I felt completely comfortable leaving him in their care. Throughout the stay, I received regular updates, pictures, and messages that showed my dog having fun, getting plenty of attention, and being well taken care of. My dog can be a little shy with new people, but he warmed up to them instantly which says a lot about their energy and patience. The home was clean, safe, and dog-friendly, and they followed all my instructions perfectly. When I picked my dog up, he was happy, calm, and clearly had a great time. It gave me huge peace of mind knowing he was in such good hands. I highly recommend Colton to anyone looking for a trustworthy, caring, and reliable dog sitter. I will definitely be booking with them again!

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 Manhattan 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 Manhattan.
<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 Manhattan 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 KS 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.
