“Pamela is reliable, a great communicator, and wonderful with our dog. We know she is in good hands and we will get lots of photos and updates when we are away. Thanks!”
“Heather was fantastic with Dubu! As a rescue owner, I was a bit nervous about boarding because of her shy temperament and specific safety needs, but Heather was incredibly gentle and understanding from the start. She provided detailed text updates and photos that put me at ease. It was also great to see her getting quality walks in the park, and I loved seeing her hanging out with Heather’s dog, Stevie, also gentle soul. Heather was professional, flexible with my schedule, and clearly knows how to handle dogs with more complex personalities. I’d highly recommend her to any pet parent, especially those with rescues who need a patient and caring environment. Thank you!”
“Jatna took amazing care of my two dogs while I was away for two weeks. She sent updates every day with photos and videos, and I could tell they were very well taken care of when I picked them up. I would definitely hire Jatna again.”
“Laura and Luzia took great care of our pup Odey. Before dropping off Odey, they took the time to make us feel very comfortable with leaving him in their care. The great pictures of Odey they sent us kept us updated while we were away. And after the long weekend we could tell that Odey fell in love with them and that he is looking forward to seeing them again!”
“Lal was great! Very communicative and Joey had a great time w Hank and her cat. Sent lots of updates and made us feel very comfortable during Joey's stay.”
“Cedric was amazing! He already had a full dog setup at his place and was clearly very experienced in caring for dogs. He provided regular updates and was extremely responsive throughout the stay. My younger pup is a bit of a handful, but Cedric did a wonderful job ensuring he got plenty of walks and playtime. I 100% recommend him and would love to book him again!"”
“Ryan and Jefra took wonderful care of Pika! They were very responsive and accommodating, and they sent me regular updates and beautiful photos of my pup during the week I was away. Highly recommend!”
About: With 15 years experience in dog care, I am looking forward to hosting your dog. I will bathe your dog during the stay if requested. I will give a minimum of 4 walks a day and a lot of love at night. I work from home so your dog will get 3-4 walks a day at 8 am, 12 pm (dog park), 5 pm and 9 pm. In between those walks, your dog will hang out with me, cuddle and respond to my emails. I have a clean 2 bedroom apartment in stuytown. The apartment is baby proofed for my daughter meaning there’s nothing is nothing for your dog to chew on
“Could not have asked for a better sitting experience for our 8 year old Tina! Kecia was kind, communicative, and clearly cares about all the animals she watches. We met up a few days ahead so our dogs could meet and everything was totally seamless - we felt completely confident and comfortable out of town knowing Tina was with Kecia. Will absolutely rebook and recommend to others!”
“Onelsis is a life saver. I had emergency surgery, and she took great care of my dog at the last minute. She was great about letting me extend my dog’s stay. She continued to give me updates, and I could tell my dog enjoyed being around her during drop off. I will be using her services again!”
“My first time using Rover, I was quite nervous! Meiqi was incredible! She was very welcoming and handled Wolfgang with such care, and did an incredible job documenting and updating me on what was going on! Thank you very much!”
“I was very nervous leaving my dog with a sitter for the first time. Meilin is completely reliable and trustworthy and went the extra mile to ensure my dog was taken care of. While I was out of town, her multiple updates placed me at ease. I would strongly recommend her to anyone who needs assistance with their pets.”
“We picked up our large malamute Junie and she was the calmest we had seen her, clearly very happy. Communication with Anton was very easy and he sent several pictures throughout the stay. Will book again!”
“During Miru’s stay with Yejin, she had an incredibly happy and loving experience. We are truly grateful for the exceptional care she provided—honestly, even more attentive and thoughtful than the care we are able to give her ourselves. Yejin is a professional, dedicated, and genuinely compassionate sitter. She kept us updated regularly, paid close attention to Miru’s needs, and made sure he felt safe, comfortable, and loved throughout her stay. We could tell from the photos and videos how happy and relaxed she was. We wholeheartedly recommend Yejin to anyone looking for a trustworthy and caring pet sitter. 😊”
“We left our little girl Violet, a very loved 5 yo Lhasa Apso, in the care of Sandra and San this past weekend. From the moment Sandra and I met, I could see how loving and caring she was for her own adorable pup, Penny. We did a meet and greet and Violet and Penny got along beautifully! We knew Violet would be in good hands. Throughout the weekend, we received pictures and we could see just how comfortable and happy Violet was! When it was pickup time, all her belongings were together and packed for home. We felt comfortable, confident and excited to find a place we can trust for Violet when she can’t be with us! We highly recommend Sandra and San! Your pups will thank you for it too!”
“Took great care of StarFox! I know my dog enjoyed his stay and I appreciate all the time spent with him playing and walking. My dog had a prior injury and he got the best care and attention possible, even a visit to the vet, medical instructions, everything was taken care of. My dog was taken care of like he was family! My dog is a clever fox, so he can be a handful sometimes. Fantastic job and would definitely book again when I’m out of town. Great photos too and updates!”
“Tallin was a truly wonderful dogsitter! I've left my dog with very few sitters before, so I was a bit anxious about leaving him with a stranger, but Tallin put me right at ease with twice-daily updates and lots of photos. I will absolutely try to book with her again next time I need a sitter!”

Ashley clearly cares about the dogs she takes care of. She’s taken care of Kona for 3 visits so far. Our dog doesn’t do well with just anyone but she seems very comfortable with her. We feel safe and secure that she’s looking after our pup. Ashley is very communicative and responsive. Before our first visit, Ashley offered a meet & greet and spent a lot of time w us to discuss Kona and her routine w the dogs she’s taking care of. Her neighborhood is also very dog friendly and clean.
My dog Lola had a great stay with Leila while I was traveling for almost 2 weeks. Leila was amazing. She sent frequent updates and I felt very secure knowing my dog was safe and happy with her. She provides a calm and relaxing environment, lots of love, and frequent updates. She even alerted me to a potential health issue which I was able to get resolved. I would definitely have Leila watch my Lola again and highly recommend her.
Kat took such great care of Penny! Penny absolutely loved her time with her and was clearly happy and comfortable. Kat sent us pictures every day, kept us updated, and made sure Penny got her pills during allergy season. It gave us such peace of mind knowing Penny was in great hands. We couldn’t recommend Kat more highly and would absolutely have her watch Penny again!
Samantha and Paul were wonderful. They took great care of my dogs and were incredibly patient and attentive, especially with one of them needing special attention during his stay due to an injury. I received plenty of updates and I immediately could tell how caring they were and how much they loved dogs—and it seems the dogs loved them just as much. I recommend them 100% and would definitely entrust Oscar and Uma to them again in the future!
I cannot say enough wonderful things about Suhani! She made a world of difference for my pup, Chuy, while we were traveling and he was getting used to life in a new city. She immediately offered to jump on a call with me on my tight timeline to help talk through Chuy’s needs and how she could help. She took the best care of him, and made sure he felt comfortable in every way possible. She very clearly had a passion and love for all animals, and I’m grateful Chuy had a chance to meet her!
I could not say enough on how great Ethel is! I would leave a higher rating if I could. Biscuit is always excited to go over and practically drags me down the block when she knows we are close. She’s usually pretty nervous around people but with Ethel she’s always happy to be around her. Biscuit sees Ethel as family and I know that Ethel treats her the same way. I appreciate that I get plenty of messages with pictures on how Biscuit is doing, when they go on walks, and if she ate her food.
Vivian is the GOAT and always my go-to sitter when I need to board my anxious dachshund who hates basically everyone ... she is OUTSTANDING in every possible dimension! If she starts taking new clients again, your pup will be so lucky to get the chance to stay with her 🐾 💕 Always a 10/10 experience!
Euitae provided a great home away from home for our dog who can be very nervous in new surroundings. He accommodated to her special needs and surprised her with special homemade treats. He was also a good communicator during her stay, providing us with daily updates and photos.
Lynn was great. We met before Koa’s sleep over they could get acquainted. The pictures, videos and updates were just the right amount and made my business trip so much easier because I know Koa was in good hands/company. He looked like he had fun, was stimulated and got time to play. I will be booking with Lynn again.
Our family will book with Ms. Refine & Beautiful over and over again!! This was our 2nd time booking and when we arrived and Leo heard her voice, he ran to her. It was beautiful to see as a dog mom because that means she cares for him so well that he missed her! I highly recommend this mother/daughter duo. Leo gets a lot of love in Ms. Refine's care, so I can only imagine how much more love he will get when Beautiful is home as well. 💕 There's nothing like the feeling of knowing your pet is safe and cared for.
Nicole is such an attentive sitter with my senior dog. It was the first time he had boarded with her for consecutive days, and she kept me updated along the way with thoughtful messages. I came back to a dog that was clearly well-loved. He was calm, not a lick of anxiety, happy and wagging his tail every time he looked at her. They've become best friends! I appreciate how much she cares about my little old man and his needs. The peace of mind is everything as you know with our babies!!
Rachel was amazing! She was very responsive and sent me lots of pictures and updates, which gave me so much peace of mind knowing my pup was in good hands. He was so happy with Rachel and I knew he had an amazing time. I would definitely recommend Rachel and would happily book with her again!
Clara did a fantastic job watching my dog for several days when I was traveling. She was extremely communicative, including sending multiple photos and messages a day. She also was able to administer a number of medications for him. She gave him a ton of exercise, stimulation and love while I was gone.
Our dog Radar stayed with Jessica for 5 nights. He was so excited to enter her building on the first day! It looked like he knew he was going to have a good time. Jessica was very attentive - asked about Radar’s needs and routine- he is a senior dog with particular liking and disliking, and she took a good care of him. Thank you, Jessica! I would definitely have Radar stay with Jessica again 🙏

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 .
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. Cats may be required to have Feline Viral Rhinotracheitis and Rabies up to date.
By discussing your pet's health history early, you’re adding a layer of confidence for you and your sitter before the booking begins.
Emergency support is available by phone or email in English 24/7. When an incident occurs, we recommend that sitters contact our Trust & Safety team immediately so that they can connect your sitter with a board-certified veterinarian or offer other resources to help.
If a sitter needs to cancel at the last minute, Rover’s reservation protection means our team will work with you to find a suitable replacement as quickly as possible.
