“Danielle was wonderful with our two 7 month old puppies. We were nervous to leave them for the first time but she put our minds at ease. She knew how to comfortably acclimate our dogs to her home. Her gorgeous house is immaculate, not a thing out of place, great for sneaky puppies! She sent multiple photos each day we were away and kept us updated. Would totally recommend Danielle and her family!”


“We had such a wonderful experience! She took amazing care of our dog and kept us updated throughout his stay with plenty of pictures, which gave us so much peace of mind while we were away. It was clear that he was happy, comfortable, and having the best time. He especially loved getting to run around and play in her yard! 🐶❤️ We could tell he was very well cared for and came home happy and tired from all the fun. We would absolutely recommend her to anyone looking for someone trustworthy, caring, and attentive to watch their dog. We will definitely be booking with her again!”

“We went to meet Jodie, and her dog, Charlie, a few days before our trip. Bowie instantly felt at home and was entirely happy playing with Charlie. While we were away, Jodie sent daily pictures of our happy puppy and kept us informed of his antics! He had so much fun and can't wait to go back when we go on vacation again! Thank you Jodie!”

“We chose Jennifer as sitter first time we used Rover and she was fantastic. She kept us updated every day with texts and photos. Rover app was extremely easy to use as well. Thank you Jennifer!”

“I am so glad to have found Xiaoying. She is excellent, experienced and knowledgeable. My dog was well cared for during his 6 day stay. We were updated daily with pics and videos of meal times, backyard activity and daily walking. She sure did treat my dog as her own and made her home, home for my Teddy. We will definitely be back. Thank you so much! 🩵🫶🏼”


“We have used June several times now. Our dog, Ginger, is getting on in age, so it is important to us to have someone like June who takes extra care with her. She is wonderful with Ginger and we are glad we found her!”


“Dan & Denise were great with my dog, Fred. I could see that he was happy for the entire weekend at their house. It really was like his own vacation! They were nice enough to send me pictures and updates of my dog while I was away which definitely alleviated any concerns I had. Fred had a great time in a safe environment with other friendly dogs! They were also accommodating enough to do a meet-n-greet before I booked my dog's stay. I would not hesitate for a second to ask Dan & Denise to watch Fred again!”

“Jamie did amazing while I was away, I was so right to trust her, she sent me picture anytime I asked. It was my first time leaving my puppy with a doggy sitter and I made an excellent choice choosing Jamie! I will be back most definitely.”

“I know my sweet dog is with a good caregiver when we book with Giovanna. This was a very long stay for him, 2 weeks, and I felt at peace about the care he would receive.”

“First time using her and I would again. From the videos she sent, Sal had a great time staying with her and socializing with other dogs. I would highly recommend her”

“Trinity was outstanding in every way. Trinity calmed my fears both before and during the drop-off because I was anxious about leaving my fur-baby with a new person. She also gave useful advice that was fantastic. I'm looking forward to making future travel reservations with Trinity.”

“Kim is an absolute angel and took amazing care of our dog Clover on short notice. She treated Clover with so much love and patience when it took awhile for our anxious girl to settle in. Kim sent lots of photos and videos and updates, and Clover had an absolutely amazing time going on adventures with Kim, exploring their huge backyard, and sunning around their house. I would recommend Kim to anyone - she is the best dog sitter I’ve found on Rover. We love Kim and will be booking again with her any time we need a sitter 🩷🥰”

About: I’m a true lover of dogs! I have a very friendly 11 year old Shih Tzu Bichon mix, a 9 year old son and 6 year old daughter. I have a completely fenced backyard on an acre of property. I take an evening walk after dinner every night and would love to bring your pup along with me! I have a flexible schedule, which allows me to dedicate time and attention to the pet I care for. I can focus on their needs, including, feeding, exercise and and special instructions I am given. I have a very large fenced in backyard. My neighborhood is very safe. My home is on one level with plenty of couches and beds to sleep on. I have 1 dog and watch no more than 1 dog (siblings are an exception) at a time to give them the attention and comfort they need.
“⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ Amazing Experience with Matt & Kristina! Matt & Kristina were absolutely amazing from start to finish! From our very first meet-and-greet, they took the time to get to know Rocky and make sure he would be a good fit for their family and their two beautiful dogs. Matt showed us their yard and explained where Rocky would be safe to run around and play. He gave us a full rundown of everything and patiently answered all of our questions, which immediately made us feel comfortable and confident leaving Rocky with them. We ended up booking a full week! Throughout Rocky’s stay, we received regular updates, pictures, videos, and text messages, which gave us so much peace of mind while we were away. It was so wonderful to see how happy and comfortable Rocky was. He got along great with their family dogs and even their super-cute daughter! You can truly tell that Matt & Kristina genuinely care about the dogs in their care and treat them like family. We couldn’t have asked for a better experience. We highly recommend Matt & Kristina and will definitely be booking with them again in the future, especially when we need to travel out of the country. Rocky had an amazing time, and we felt completely comfortable knowing he was in such great hands! 🐾❤️ The Arjoon Family 🫶🏻 Breed: Pomsky 😂 more the size of Husky”

Pet parents share their Rover experiences - Melville
We had such a great experience with Annabelle watching our Luca! This was our first time leaving him with a dog sitter who wasn’t family or a close friend, and our first time using Rover. Annabelle made the entire experience so easy and reassuring. She had great communication from our initial meet-and-greet through the entire stay and sent us pictures of Luca throughout, which really put us at ease. Luca absolutely loved running around in her backyard and even got to sleep in bed with her, just like he does at home! It was clear that he was happy, comfortable, and very well cared for. Thanks again Annabelle!!

We had the pleasure of having Trin take care of our 4-year-old Golden Retriever for the second time, and once again, she was absolutely amazing! We felt so comfortable and at ease knowing he was in her care. Trin kept us updated with pictures and videos, which we loved, and she even went the extra mile and celebrated his birthday with him by giving him a birthday cake! 🎂🐶❤️ It’s clear how much love, attention, and care she gives to the pets she watches. We were so happy and pleased with the entire experience and will definitely be trusting Trin with our fur baby again. We highly recommend her to anyone looking for someone who will treat their pet like family!

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.
