“Maggie took both my pups with wildly different personalities and they had the BEST time. They immediately took to her and my older Pom with separation issues happily followed her into her home without a backwards glance. After the first check-in my dog mom worries were put at ease and we were able to enjoy our weekend away. I can even swear the pups came back getting along even better!! Will definitely book her again!”

“She was awesome with my dogs. This was their first time away from home over night. She took a lot of pictures and asked a lot of questions during their over night with her. Thank you for taking good care of my babies,??”

“Jannice was fabulous! She took such great care of our little Roxy, we could not be happier to have found her and her boyfriend. Rox can be a little slow to warm up with being both deaf and blind, but Jannice is very kind and patient and we appreciated knowing that we left Roxy in good hands. She was also very flexible and understanding when our flights got delayed and we couldn’t pick Roxy up until the next morning. Would definitely book with Jannice again! :)”

“They took absolutely wonderful care of two little dogs. Lots of updates, very responsive, great energy in person from these two. We will certainly be using them again if at all possible. I will be recommending their services to my own clients and friends.”

“Lori was flexible and accommodating, was quick to reply every time we reached out to check in on Neela. She was well cared for during her stay! We’d love to have Lori sit for her again in the future!”


“My pup Lily absolutely enjoyed her stay with Cong. Cong is wonderful with pets, and her dog and cats are great fur buddies with whom Lily can play and socialize. Her fenced backyard is perfect for Lily’s endless wandering and sniffing around. Cong kept me updated throughout the weekend with photos and videos of Lily having nonstop fun. I would absolutely board Lily with Cong again.”
“Laura is a very kind and sweet person who truly loves dogs.She did a great job watching Scooter. There are s lot of small dogs there, butit was probably good for Scooter.”


“Lydia was absolutely wonderful with my dog Paddy, I couldn’t have asked for a better Rover sitter. She went above and beyond to make sure my pup was happy and comfortable the entire time. She sent multiple pictures and updates every day, which gave me a lot of peace of mind, it was clear they were truly spending quality time together. They even did activities like yoga and went on multiple car rides, which I loved seeing. When I came to pick Paddy up after a few days, she didn’t even want to leave Lydia, which says everything about how well she was cared for and how much attention and affection she received. I would highly recommend Lydia to anyone looking for a reliable, thoughtful, and caring pet sitter. I will absolutely book with her again!”

“Jillian and John were wonderful to my dog. They sent photos and videos daily. Made my trip wonderful as knew didn’t have to worry she was taken care of so well.”

“Victoria was super attentive and sent tons of pictures of our cats while they stayed with her. They had a great time in her super cat friendly apartment and even discovered a new toy they love (just ordered it for them at home). Would definitely recommend Victoria and will be rebooking with her in the future if we need to board the cats again!”

“Roxy felt immediately at home with Jennifer and we got daily pictures and reports. Jennifer is kind and patient and ensured meals and walks were timely and sufficient. Roxy was a very happy girl!”

“Samantha was wonderful to work with - sent lots of great updates on our pup throughout the visit and we felt totally at ease knowing Milo was in good hands. Definitely recommend Samantha!”

“Phelan took great care of Sadie and made her feel right at home! She's a great communicator and she sent us lots of updates and pictures of Sadie. We look forward to bringing Sadie over again!”


“Alyson was wonderful! She was very patient with my dogs, even when they got nervous and peed on her floor. They quickly warmed up to her and her dog, and from the photos she sent, it was obvious they were having a great time. I will definitely rebook with Alyson.”

“Great experience! My dog was very happy and well cared for. The service was friendly, professional, and attentive. I really appreciated how gently they treated my dog and kept me updated. I would definitely recommend them to other dog owners!”

“Vera is an incredible host! Our 1yo pup was in excellent hands while we were away for a week. She accommodated an extra day and gave plenty of daily exercise and attention. We’ll be back for another stay for sure!”


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.

Kim was absolutely amazing with Otis! She kept me updated throughout his stay, which gave me such peace of mind knowing he was happy and well taken care of. I felt completely comfortable leaving him with her, and it was clear he was in great hands. I would absolutely recommend Kim and will definitely be using her again in the future! 🐾❤️

Cache was great! I booked her last minute and she was able to immediately accommodate a meet and greet with Josie and I. She was comfortable and confident with Josie in the meet and greet and asked me clarifying questions and told me her process. Throughout the stay she sent me regular updates and photos/videos of my girl. Josie doesn’t like rain and had trouble going potty one morning and Cache kept me updated and was persistent with her. I will definitely be booking her again!!!

Kevin was amazing with our little senior dog, Roxy! We are so thankful we found him as we felt very reassured leaving her in his care. He is attentive and reliable, and we could tell that Roxy felt right at home with him! She occasionally can be anxious around new people, but that was clearly not the case with Kevin. Will definitely re-book with him in the future!

I was able to find Albert last minute, and I'm so glad I did! He's a total pro, and I knew my dog was in great hands within a few minutes of meeting him. He took excellent care of my dog, and even took the initiative to work with her on some behavioral issues while I was away. I'll definitely be booking with him again!!

Anna took care of our 2 senior boxes for 2 days while we were on vacation. Normally we leave them with trusted family members while we travel, but our daughter had plans and could not keep them in her care. Anna is the first pet sitter outside family who has kept them in her home. She cared for them as if they were her very own. They settled in easily and got along famously with Anna's fur babies. I highly recommend Anna to anyone needing to board their pet outside their home.

This was our boxer Peanut’s second time staying with Shantalee and it was again wonderful. She is attentive, sends tons of photos and drops in with notes just to let you know your pup is doing okay. She lives in a great apartment in an easy area to get to, not congested for good walks with dogs, only 5 minutes off the interstate. We drive out of our way (over an hour) when visiting family in the area just to make sure Peanut gets time with Shantalee!!

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.
