“Jane was wonderful with Lucy! She gave her lots of attention and understood her quirks. She even spoon-fed her when she didn't want to eat! They went on walks and cuddled on her couch. Not to mention the great picture and videos she sent me. When we were leaving, Lucy kept looking back to see if Jane was coming along 😊 Thank you Jane for taking care of my Lucy!!”
“Heather is the most amazing pet sitter ever!!! I am so sorry it took me so long to learn how to navigate the Rover app. Chucky is absolutely obsessed about Heather and she went overboard to make us both (Chucky and I) feel comfortable. She sends lots of pictures and you can tell my pup is having a blast!”
“Chris went above and beyond with taking care of Frida! He sent me so many cute photos and updates so I never worried during my trip that my dog was not only being well taken care of but was having a blast! He also made time to help train her with positive reinforcement.”
“Stella went absolutely above and beyond taking care of Bao for a long weekend. This was our first time leaving Bao with a boarder since getting her and I can't imagine anyone providing better care than Stella. We're so spoiled now! Stella sent very frequent and detailed updates each day and took Bao and her dog, Koukla on countless adventures during her stay. Stella is mindful about the number of dogs she has in her care at one time so she can give her undivided attention to your pup during their stay. It really felt like Bao was an honorary member of her family and we can't wait to send Bao back for another stay 🥰”
“Hannah was very communicative and sent lots of photos. Pickles seemed very happy and content when we pickled him up. Thanks for taking such good care of him, Hannah!”
“William took great care of my dog! He provided daily updates and pictures and replied very quickly. He was also flexible when the timing of my pickup changed which was greatly appreciated. Would highly recommend him for any pet sitting needs!”
“I’m a kind of crazy pet parent with a 10 page dogsitting guide. Kiersten read the whole thing, remembered every detail, texted to make sure of things… She was amazing. Highly, highly recommended!”
“Denis and his wife took such good care of my cat. It was her first time staying at someone else's home and my cat (and I) was very nervous, but they sent frequent updates and pictures and made sure she was as happy as could be.”
“Ria is amazing! She has been sitting my pup for the past few months and it's been a great experience. Harris (my pup) is always excited to see both Ria and her partner when I drop him off. Harris has also made a new best friend in her dog as well! 10/10 would recommend you trust your fur baby with Ria.”
“Beyond amazing! Our family was away for an extended period of time and Refine was an amazing fur baby sitter. She sent pictures and videos and was very communicative. It can be difficult as a pet parent to leave your pup with someone you don't know or someone new, but it was such a blessing to be on vacation and feel so comfortable that our baby was being well cared for. I cannot say enough about Refine. I highly recommend her and will absolutely be using her in the future.”
“Madison was fantastic! She was super accommodating and communicative - she provided daily updates and photos, which I appreciated. Would definitely book with her again!”
“Mariana took amazing care of our senior dog during our 7 day vacation. She made sure our dog had her medications when needed and lots of cuddles and attention. She made sure to keep us updated regularly with texts and photos. Our dog can’t wait to see Mariana again!”

“Magnolia, my pup, had a great time with Jessica! They took long walks when the weather allowed and Jessica paid close attention to her eating habits which reassured me.”
“Naomi had picked up & dropped off our pup for his stay and she was very communicative and punctual. She sent videos of our dog clearly enjoying himself in the space of her backyard, and when he returned he was crying for her has she left!! We will definitely book with her again!!!”
“Eva and Tyler took excellent care of our dog Harlan, who was also able to get to know their cat. They sent loads of pics and our pup clearly had a great time! I think he was a little sad to come home.”
“Evangelia took excellent care of my dog, Mai Tai; she came home smelling like she had been bathed and brushed, and she seemed happy. I am grateful that I found a reliable, affordable pet sitter here on Rover.”

Nicole was great boarding my needy, dog-like cat. She followed the food instructions perfectly, gave her plenty of attention, and checked in daily wtith photos and updates. She was also great at communicating to arrange drop-off and pickup. I would be happy to book her again, and so would my cat!
Milou loves all of his stays with David who takes excellent care of him and entertains him throughout the day. David sends me wonderful updates throughout my vacation - he takes great photos which I love looking at during my vacation as well as when I return. We are so glad and appreciative of David.
Jiaxu was so amazing with my pug Lenny. She sent lots of videos and photos and Lenny had so much fun during his stay and when i came to pick him up he kept running back to her with excitement of seeing me but clearly was showing love to his new friend. Will definitely use her again and highly recommend her!!
Eleanor was amazing! I'm so glad I found such a caring and attentive dog sitter. When I picked up my dog, she gave me an incredibly thorough report of every day and routine, noting any behavior issues or tendencies and handling them like a pro! She has a wealth of dog care experience, and really loves and understands them. I was impressed with how carefully she anticipated and responded to my dog's needs and personality. My dog loves to sleep in a human bed, and I was grateful that Eleanor let her snuggle with her and be comfortable in her home! When we said goodbye, my pup was still excitedly trying to lick Eleanor's face and get more attention, so I know that she had a wonderful time with her!

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 .
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.

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.
