“Cortney provided excellent care to my husky during her overnight stay at his house. Ruth was super sweet, friendly and very playful. They spent a lot of time running around and playing in the backyard which was huge and very secure. Skye received lots of love and attention from their whole family. She came back home happy and exhausted. Cortney was easy to work with, communicated well, sent lots of pictures and updates. I highly recommended him, and I feel confident and safe in leaving Skye with him for her upcoming week-long stay!”
“Thank you for taking such great care of my big guy! It is always easier leaving knowing he’s in good hands. I appreciated the regular updates and photos. Will be requesting to stay with Nick again in the future.”
“From the moment we met Anna, we knew she was a good fit! She made booking the meet and greet, drop off and pick up super easy. Scout liked Anna’s sweet disposition and I liked that she kept us updated! Scout came home happy and healthy. We would highly recommend Anna to anyone in need of a pet sitter!”
About: I have owned and taken care of various breeds of dogs for over four decades. I currently have a 4 year old Golden Retriever named Duke. My goal is to provide your pet with the same care that I give my own. I only take one client at a time so I can provide you and your pet the best possible experience. I currently work part time from home so have plenty of time to interact with your pet. I have a husband and 2 children (12 and 14) that also love animals. I have a fenced in yard and a very friendly dog that will keep your dog company. I am able to crate as long as you provide the crate.
“Krissy is the best! She took such great care of our dog Junie while we were away. Krissy quickly got to know Junie and knew exactly what she needed to feel comfortable in her home. We will definitely be using Krissy again!”
“Trisha was great, she kept us in the loop with pictures and texts the whole evening. It was the first time we left our dog Jax who’s 1-1/2 old boxer with tons of energy. Thank you Trisha and we will definitely leave Jax with again and again.”
“Karishma was amazing!!! She treated my dog like her own. You must be ok with your pet having a vegetarian diet during their stay. She prepared him home cooked healthy meals and offered me healthy alternatives to dog food moving forward. She stayed in communication with updates and pictures of my dog.... happy and being treated like one of the family. She is definitely a animal lover and highly recommended.”
“Gerald did a great job with my senior foster, Pam. She deals with significant anxiety and back-leg pain, so I was nervous about leaving her in a new space with a stranger, but I had nothing to worry about. She settled in quickly and even felt comfortable enough to trick Gerald into getting off the couch so she could steal his spot. Although she’s usually reluctant to be active, she went on several walks with him. Gerald was also great about sending regular photos and updates, and very flexible when I ran late for pickup. Highly recommended for anyone with a senior or high-needs dog.”
“Vanessa was wonderful with our little Franklin. Her husband and daughter were also very friendly and sweet. They took great care of our baby. I would absolutely use Vanessa again when we need a dog sitter.”
“My Zuri recently spent some time with Sandy. She sent me pictures and videos of her playing and enjoying her stay. Sandy is awesome! She took great care of my puppy.”
“Rachel Rachel was absolutely wonderful with Nilo. This was our first time using her services after our regular sitter had an unexpected emergency, and she was kind enough to meet with us right away. Nilo can be a little challenging at times, so I made sure to explain his personality, behaviors, and needs. Rachel was incredibly patient, understanding, and caring from the very beginning. She took the time to make Nilo feel comfortable, took him on several walks, and it was clear that he felt safe and relaxed in her home. It means so much to find someone who genuinely cares for your pet, and Rachel did exactly that. We felt at ease knowing Nilo was in such good hands. We are so grateful for her help and would not hesitate to book with her again. Thank you, Rachel, for taking such great care of our Nilo! ❤️ We highly recommend her to anyone looking for a trustworthy and compassionate pet sitter.”

“I had to make a last-minute trip and urgently needed an overnight stay for my pup. I quickly found Daniel through the app, and he was incredibly responsive and accommodating. Upon meeting him, I was impressed by his friendliness and the thorough walk-through of his backyard, which resembled a gated mini-farm. My dog was absolutely fascinated by the chickens and rabbits; we could barely pull him away! Daniel kept me updated with photos throughout the day, making me feel reassured. By the end of the day, it was clear that Kylo had become part of Daniel's family. I can’t recommend him enough! Kylo has truly found his second home with Daniel.”
“Michelle is knowledgeable about dogs and kept me informed about how Ollie was doing including texting and sending me pictures. I am so happy that I found Michelle to look after my sweet boy Ollie. While adorable, Ollie is a large and energetic black lab but not too much for Michelle and her family. Michelle allows the dog to be cage free in her home which was very important to me. Ollie is booked for his next stay already!”
“Crystal is great! She made sure my cat was comfortable during her stay. She sends daily pictures and is communicative. I would highly recommend her and her family. I will definitely be using her in the future.”
About: I provide more than just pet care—I offer companionship, safety, and heartfelt attention to every animal I meet. Having grown up with dogs, I understand how each one has its own unique personality. Over the years, I’ve loved and cared for a playful pug, a loyal Labrador, and now share my life with the most amazing Golden Retriever. With this experience, your furry friend is in trusted, capable hands. Whether they need active playtime, cozy cuddles, or a calm presence, I always tailor my care to fit their individual needs. Pet care is a natural part of my daily routine—I plan my days around the needs of the pets I care for. I make sure each pet gets the attention and consistency they deserve. I’m flexible with scheduling and committed to being reliable, so you can count on me to be there when your pet needs care the most. I am fully remote, so an always home with these guys. I have a fully fenced yard for safe outdoor play. If you're comfortable, my friendly dog would love to play with yours—but only with your okay. If not, no worries—he knows the routine and will happily stay separate.
“Samantha has taken such great care of our fur babies. She is caring and loves them like they were her own pets. I can always count on her to give them the attention they need. They are both senior dogs and need special attention and care. I would not hesitate to use her when we need her services. I would highly recommend her any time.”
“Kortney was amazing! I was able to book with her the day off and she accepted. She has such a sweet spirit. She treated my dog like her own. Her dogs welcomed him like he was apart of the family. I will be booking with her again.”
“We had a wonderful experience with Lily. Willa was a bit skittish at first, but Lily worked her magic with her. She took her for walks and hikes, played outside with her, and made her a part of the family. When we picked up Willa, it was clear she loved Lily. She didn't want to leave! :-) I've already passed along Lily's name to my friends with fur children. I wouldn't hesitate to leave Willa (or any of my dogs) with Lily again. I know she'll be in great hands.”

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 .
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 .
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.
