“Brigid was amazing with my little Peach. She took great care of her and gave her lots of affection. Knowing Peach was with Brigid gave me great peace of mind while I was away. I highly recommend her!”
“Chelsea and Chris were amazing!! Munson came home well rested and loved. I am so grateful to them and so happy I found them. The constant pictures and communication was awesome. I take comfort in knowing there is someone I can leave him with - who will love and care for him as if he were their own.”
“Amy was incredible. She sent me updates, was kind, flexible, and treated my puppy very well. Her home is in a safe neighborhood and has a great setup for pets. I have nothing but wonderful things to say about Amy and her care.”
“Christopher was incredible! Very communicative and sensitive to the needs of my dog. He is very knowledgeable on dog behaviors too! It’s was such a relief knowing my pup was in good hands :) thank you!!!”
“Nova had the best time! I can’t thank you guys enough for taking such good care of our girl 🙏🏾 If you are looking for a dog sitter who is super caring and knowledgeable, Sheronda is the one!”
“I have a high anxiety; high energy breed and Cache took amazing care of him. Additionally, she sent plenty of updates/ videos, so I didn't have to worry about him. I will 100% be rebooking with her!”
“Maggie is amazing ! I've boarded "my boy" with her a few times now, he's always excited to see Maggie when I drop him off, and he's happy and clean when I pick him up. Wouldn't take him anywhere else. I am very satisfied with Maggie.”
About: I take my responsibility watching your pets very seriously and treat each one like my own! Over the years I’ve cared for pets with all different personalities, routines and needs, and I always make sure all animals receive the same love and attention. Message me and I would be happy to meet with you and your pets beforehand so you can both get to know me! I work at a job in the medical field Monday - Thursday and I am typically home on the weekends doing yard work or just hanging out! I have a fully fenced in yard with lots of room for your pet to run around, I also own a crate if necessary! I am also comfortable coming to your house overnight or just for a mid day check in!
About: I’ve been around dogs most of my life. I enjoy taking care of animals. I am very attentive and will take care of your furry friend like they were my own. I’m currently freelancing and have my schedule pretty open so your fur baby will have plenty of attention. I will do what ever it takes to make your dog feel comfortable and cared for. I have a fenced in back yard. And quiet low traffic roads around me for walks. We have had 2 dogs previously who are in doggie heaven now. We miss you Minnie and Bentley.
“Brad and Mery were great! The sent us lots of pictures and updates. Max loved them and they said they loved him too. Max came home happy and in great shape. We are very pleased and we regard Brad and Mery as wonderful people. Thank you both. John and Karen”
“Gillian is the best and u can tell she does dog sitting as a labor of luv because it is obvious how much she loves and is good with animals. We felt completely comfortable leaving our 10 mos Corgi Bear with her for the first time for a few days and could tell how much fun he had with Gillian’s dogs while he was there. Daily throughout our weekend she sent updates with videos and pics which made leaving him for the first time much easier😊”
“Anna was fantastic! She sent me pictures and videos every day of my dog and kept me updated on his eating and playing. I could tell she genuinely enjoyed playing with my dog. I will definitely use her again.”
“Matcha had a great time at Cong’s! Cong sent pictures and videos and put us at ease that Matcha was doing well, eating well, and enjoying the other dogs and cats. Would definitely bring Matcha to Cong again.”
“Jialin and John watched my new senior rescue Bianca for a long weekend and were so good to her! I was a little nervous since I had her less than a month and was still figuring out her unique behaviors and preferences but she was in great hands. We did a meet and greet beforehand and Boo-boo was a great host, sharing his home and parents. Jialin even taught Bianca a new trick that we have been working on back home. Bianca was sent home with a plastic baggie of some treats she liked to keep the good times going back home. I look forward to the next time Bianca can stay with them!”
“David was incredibly responsive, kind and easy to work with! He took on my elderly 16 year old pup within a 24 hour notice after we found out our Airbnb didn’t allow dogs :( He took great care of her and sent daily updates which we really appreciated! She felt right at home with him and he made us feel very comforted knowing she was in good hands! Will definitely rejoin with him in the future :)”
“Patrick and Sara were super stars!!! They have a nice big, beautiful property and some sweet pups. Patrick was very communicative and made a concerted effort to make sure I wasn't anxious or nervous about leaving my doggy with them for the weekend. My pup came back happy, healthy, and (I think) a little sad to leave their place. Couldn't recommend Patrick and Sara more, and I'm pretty hard to please :)”
“Imonia is TRULY THE BEST!! She’s so attentive and sweet to my pup! Very quickly became my go to dog sitter for any length of time - I know when buddy is with Imonia he is well taken care of, probably even more spoiled then when he’s home with me 🥰”
Dog parents share their Rover experiences - McKownville
Absolutely amazing people!! i love taking my pup here anytime we go on vacation, i never have to stress if my pup is happy. they constantly send updates, the communication is absolutely amazing. the love they have for these pups are beyond. they’re truly the only people i trust with my baby. I Highly recommend chelsea and will forever recommend her!!!
Kristine & Robert were great with our Gus! They took the time to meet and make sure he would be comfortable with their dog in advance. I truly left him and was so comfortable and trusted them completely. We received regular updates which made it even better. Would highly recommend to anyone looking to board their pet!
Kaitlin, along with her crew of kids and kitties, were absolutely fantastic. My dog had a wonderful time there, and I know made fast friends with everyone in the house. You can tell from the moment Kaitlin meets your pup how comfortable she is around dogs, and especially for a sensitive pup like mine, she made us both feel like it was going to be a great match. During my dog's stay at her house, I got lots of photo and video updates, my dog got lots of great outdoor time, and Kaitlin was also super flexible around me coming by to pick up my doggie at the end of it, which was really helpful because my flight got in sort of late! Would definitely ask her to pup-sit again.

Frequently asked questions about Rover
Rover is the largest marketplace for local pet care. Whether you're looking for pet sitters, dog walkers, or house sitters who specialize in pet sitting, you can narrow your search by entering your ZIP code to find sitters within walking distance in your neighborhood.
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 McKownville 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 McKownville.
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 McKownville 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.
