“Kim was fantastic, and my dog was so happy at her house. Kim sent lots of photos, and communicated well. I am so happy with Kim’s services, and will be returning again soon. Thank you!”
“Maribeth took loving care of my four-legged girl while we took our daughter to college. She sent updates and pictures. I will leave my girl with Maribeth any time. Highly recommend!”
“Marie was wonderful with our dog, Champ. He’s a very nervous dog and it takes a lot for him to feel comfortable with new people, but Marie was patient, kind, and took great care of him. We trust her completely and feel confident leaving Champ in her care. In fact, we already have her scheduled to watch him again! We would highly recommend Marie to anyone looking for a reliable and caring dog sitter.”
“Lya was wonderful with Jasper! She was attentive, patient, and made sure he felt comfortable and cared for. I really appreciated the updates and her kindness with him. I will definitely be booking with her again!”
“Aaron took amazing care of Tucker and Lucy! He kept me updated with messages and photos, made sure they were comfortable, and treated them like his own. Both dogs came home happy, calm, and clearly well cared for. I felt completely at ease the whole time. I’ll definitely be booking with him again—highly recommend!”
“Look no farther for pet care!! Lindsey and Greg were astounding. They treated our two dogs like family. They sent updates and pictures everyday. When we dropped the dogs off they made sure to ask questions about the dogs preferences. They really took the time to get to know them. They are very good communicators. You can rest assured that your pet/s are in very good loving hands.”
“I recently adopted a bunny and we were going away on vacation for a few days… we needed someone who was able to watch my her while we were gone. We had a very nice meet and greet with Julia and she was very flexible with where my rabbit would stay, as well as how much space she could roam around in. She offered a whole room, that would be gated at the door, for my bunny. Since the meet and greet went so well, we booked her for the days we would be traveling. She made sure there was a carpet for my bun’s feet so she wouldn’t be on the hardwood floor. She put baby plugs in the outlets so my bunny couldn’t get to them. I felt very comfortable leaving my bunny with Julia and her family, they were all very kind. They even put a camera in the room so when they weren’t with my bunny, they could always keep an eye on her. My bunny seemed very comfortable and happy with the situation and adjusted very well because of Julia’s hospitality. Julia offered everything she could to make sure my bunny had an amazing stay. We will definitely be booking Julia again!!”
“I am so happy i came across miss Deb! I was nervous because Birkin is a puppy and she’s never been overnight with anyone. Birkin loved her right away, as did i. You can tell she really loves the pups. She has a very nice enclosed yard and that made me feel my pup is safe. I needed to extend the date and she was flexible. Highly recommend!!!”
“Elliot and Dominique did a fantastic job taking care of our little pampered girl. We have never left her with anyone else till these past 3 days. Elliot and Dominique did a great job updating us throughout the day and giving us pictures. They were loving and catered to Stella's needs. We will definitely let them watch Stella again.”
About: Hi, fellow animal lovers! 🐾💕 I’m Olivia, and I’ve loved having furry friends in my life for as long as I can remember! I’ve grown up with dogs, and one of my favorite things is getting to know each pet’s unique personality, whether they’re a playful little goofball, a professional napper, or a shy sweetheart who needs a little extra time to warm up. 🐶🐱 I work a full-time hybrid job and am home most days, with availability that is primarily evenings and weekends. I like to plan ahead with pet parents so we can make sure your pet’s needs, routine, and care schedule are a good fit. My goal is for your pet to feel comfortable, loved, and right at home. I know how important it is to trust someone with your furry family member, so I take your instructions seriously and believe communication makes all the difference. I’m happy to share photo updates and little check-ins so you can see how your bestie is doing while you’re away! 📸💗 I no longer have a pet of my own, so getting to spend time with other people’s furry friends is something I genuinely look forward to. I love building relationships with both pets and their humans, and I’d be thrilled to become a familiar, trusted face your pet gets excited to see! Whether your kitty needs some company while you’re away or your pup needs a cozy place to stay overnight, I’d love to meet you both. Let’s make your pet’s next little adventure a happy one! 🐾 I currently work a full time hybrid job where I am home most days with a pretty flexible schedule. Due to recent life changes, I no longer have my own pet and am really missing having a buddy at home. I currently live in a first floor apartment, but there is a fenced in dog area right behind my building and love to take walks around the neighborhood. I have always been around animals and have a strong love for them all. A family member also a top Rover sitter in the Canandaigua area that I have assisted with as well for several years.
“✋ Stop Scrolling ✋ You found the perfect Rover Boarder 🏆 Alex and Bethany were absolutely amazing caregivers for our dog Maya while we were out of town. From the first day it was clear that we’d left Maya with true dog lovers that would care for and spoil her like a member of their family. They have a wonderful fenced-in yard and from their lovely daily photo+video messages, it’s clear they spend plenty of time enjoying the outdoors with their guest. We also appreciated that they only book overlapping dogs with clear permission from the parents, clearly giving dedicated attention to each dog and very healthy socialization when overlapping.”
“We could not have asked for a better sitter for our dog while we were out of town! Thomas took him on many adventures and sent photos every day showing us how he was doing and what they were up to. Highly recommend!!”
“Dianna has been absolutely fantastic with my girls, Ellie and Dakota. This is their first experience with boarding, and I was nervous doing so. Dianna eased all of my nerves with a meet and greet. The pictures and commentary that I've received just proves that Dianna is a perfect fit for Ellie and Dakota. Whenever we have to leave our girls again, I will be sure to book with Dianna. Thank you for everything!?❤️”
“I can't say enough great things about Gigi! She took such wonderful care of my dog, Rocky, during his stay. Gigi provided lots of attention and regular walks, which Rocky loved. She also kept me updated with plenty of pictures and messages, so I always knew how he was doing. It's clear that she genuinely enjoyed having Rocky over, and he seemed so happy and well-cared for. I highly recommend Gigi to anyone looking for a reliable and loving dog sitter!”
“Kaitlyn is amazing!! I felt so much better knowing my dog was with her. She sent me pictures and updates each day. My dog got to run around and play with her dogs I doubt she wanted to leave. Kaitlyn was also super accommodating and kept my dog for a whole extra day during the holidays when flights got canceled. Absolute life saver would definitely recommend her!!”
About: Hi there! I'm a lifelong dog lover who knows that our pets our family. I am a senior dog owner to two puggles and they are treated like royalty. I provide reliable dog walking and pet sitting with plenty of care, patience and playtime. Whether your pup needs a quick potty break, a long walk, or some extra love while you're away, I'll make sure they feel safe, happy, and loved. I'm also comfortable feeding, light grooming (brushing), and giving extra snuggles if needed. I'd love to help you care for your furry friend like I do my own! I am currently getting a second masters degree online and I am home most of the time (info for pet parents who are looking for services). I take my dogs on lots of walks each day to get all of their sniffs in! I live in a townhouse and every time we go outside my dogs are on leashes. They go on about five walks a day. I would love to ensure your dog gets adequate exercise too!
About: I’ve grown up with dogs my entire life and have cared for several family dogs over the years, including American Akitas and a Husky and Australian Shepherd mix. I’m comfortable with different breeds, personalities, and energy levels. I enjoy walks, playtime, and making sure each dog feels safe, comfortable, and cared for while you’re away. I recently graduated and am currently looking for a job, which gives me a flexible schedule during the week and on weekends. I have plenty of time to provide pets with attention, playtime, walks, and companionship. I enjoy making sure pets stay active, happy, and comfortable while their owners are away. I have a comfortable home with plenty of trees, nearby walking trails, and a river area where dogs can enjoy outdoor time. Since my yard is not fenced, I always use a leash and supervise dogs during potty breaks and walks to make sure they stay safe. I also have my own cat, Eartha, who is friendly and enjoys meeting people. I understand that every pet has their own personality, so I take the time to help them feel comfortable and follow each owner’s instructions to provide the best care possible.

Dog parents share their Rover experiences - Mendon
Skylar took wonderful care of our dog, Penny. She communicated well, asked questions about Penny’s routine, likes and dislikes and scheduled a meet and greet prior to booking. During our time away, she provided texts and photos about Penny - it made us feel comfortable. I know Penny was well cared for and happy while we couldn’t be with her.
We had a wonderful experience! Sheila was well cared for and came home happy, relaxed, but excited to everyone! We received regular updates and photos, which gave us peace of mind while we were away. It was obvious that Sheila received plenty of attention, affection, and great care. Communication was excellent from start to finish, and everything was handled professionally. We wouldn’t hesitate to book again and highly recommend Lindsey to anyone looking for someone trustworthy to care for their dog.

You can message your sitter at any time through the app and our support team is available 24/7 by email or chat if you have concerns.
The personalized, in-home nature of pet care through Rover can mean more individual attention for your pet.
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.
95% of sitters in Mendon can provide daily exercise during dog boarding stays. Depending on the sitter, their home environment, and your dog’s needs, this 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 Mendon 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 Mendon.
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.
Yes, you can find sitters who have experience with handling special pet needs in Mendon. On Rover:
- 94% of sitters can help with special care needs
- 95% can help with giving oral medications or injections
- 95% can help with daily exercise
You can also find pet sitters on Rover who accept only one pet at a time, which is ideal for anxious puppies, kittens, or senior pets who move at a gentler pace. Some sitters will also list availability for 24/7 care, also known as constant care, in their profiles.
Use the search filters to narrow down sitters whose specific experience or environment meets your pet's needs. When reaching out to your sitter, outline your pet's care routine and use the Meet & Greet to walk your sitter through your expectations.
You and your Mendon 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.
Adding another pup to the pack? Most sitters and walkers offer a reduced rate for additional dogs. You’ll find these exact rates listed under the "Services" tab on any sitter's profile. Since every dog is unique, final pricing may vary depending on the level of care required.
