“I would highly recommend Vincent as a dog sitter. Daisy had a meet and greet a month ago and I could see then that Vincent was very experienced with dogs, was kind and gentle, and he made Daisy feel comfortable. As Vincent was sitting another dog during Daisy’s stay when we arrived at his house he was waiting in front with the other dog so Daisy could get to know him before going in the house. It gave me a sense of comfort knowing Daisy would be OK. Vincent gave me updates during Daisy’s stay which I appreciated.I would not hesitate using his services again if needed.”
“Nirvana is AMAZING!!! She truly cares for animals and is sent pictures and videos of our dog when chewy stayed with her. We could go on our vacation worry free and still get regular updates on our pet. Loved it! Thank you!”
“Had a 5 day vacation and couldn’t really find anybody last minute to watch my dog for me. I discovered rover and came across Jose’s profile, we connected very easy and he was able to assist watching my dog for me. Jose’s services are great he communicates very well and he kept me updated each day with photos and videos of my dog and i can tell by looking at the photos and videos my dog really enjoyed himself. he enjoyed himself so much that he seemed so sad when we were in the car pulling off from jose’s house after pickup. Jose has his own pets as well which my dog got along exceptionally well with ,if you have pets and want to work on their socializing skills i definitely recommend you guys board or let your dog spend a day with jose . I most definitely will be bringing my pup back to Jose next vacation and i recommend you guys do you as well you will not be disappointed i promise!!”

I'm so thankful to her for watching after Olive and really making sure she was happy even after she had acted up early in the stay. I would recommend Alyssa to anyone needing any kind of assistance with their dogs.”

“I was so happy to find Yanina. I have two older dogs (an 11 year old ~50 lb retriever mix and a 12 year old ~80 lb bully mix). Normally folks are intimidated by the size with no inclination to get to know my dogs. Yanina and her hubby were so kind to my babies and treated them so well. I got some fantastic photos and videos and my dogs were smiling and so happy!”
“Courtney and Sherwood were so amazing with my little guy. We loved their energy They made sure to send pictures and updates through out the day. He enjoyed playing with their pup and kiddos. He had a blast. We will definitely be return customers!”
About: Hi! I’ve grown up around dogs and have always had a love for animals. I’m caring, responsible, and excited to give your pup plenty of attention, playtime, walks, and cuddles. I understand how important it is to feel comfortable leaving your dog with someone you trust, and I’ll treat your pet like my own while they’re in my care! Currently in school for my PhD so I have a lot of time when I’m home studying or doing work! If I do leave the house it’s only for a few hours at a time! I currently have no pets which can allow me to spend 1:1 time with your furry friends. They can stay at my house or I can come to yours whatever is most convenient!
“First time day care with Robert. Super nice guy and extremely knowledgeable about dogs. Really made an effort to make Braxton feel comfortable and like one of the pack. Would definitely use Robert again!”
“They took fantastic care of Winter while we were out of town for a couple of days! They understood she was a bit skittish and shy, and also accounted for her meds. They also were very accommodating when plans had changed a little bit. She came home happy, I would definitely use them again!”
“Nicolle and Ronaldo provided excellent care for my puppy Pecan during my time away. They kept him active and engaged with plenty of walks, playtime, and even dog park visits with their dog, Luna. It was great to see my pup had company and socialization. The updates were detailed and frequent, and it was clear Pecan was happy and well-cared for. I'd happily book them again!”
“Klainer was an amazing sitter, also very friendly! Always updated me with lots of pics of my Bailey. She took good care of my dog and I will definitely rebook with her in the future.”
“Ben provided excellent care for my seven year-old dachshund Coco. He sent me daily updates which provided comfort for this dog dad. Coco seemed happy and well cared for upon picking her up. She was wagging her tail and turned back to say goodbye to Ben (and his sweet Chihuahua, Colby) I highly recommend Ben to provide care for your pup... Coco will definitely be back!”

I wish I could give more stars. Vincent is a great person loves animals. My dog Ouzo had great experience with him. Vincent send me photos and videos that my boy having great time. Ouzo never felt homesick or left alone. When I went to pick him up he was extremely clean brushed look like show dog. Thank you Vincent and his family for great service.
Lorraine was super understanding and knew exactly what to do when my dog was having a hard time adjusting due to separation anxiety. She kept me updated every step of the way, which gave me a lot of peace of mind. Since my dog was in a new environment, I was worried at first, but Lorraine was patient, caring, and very experienced. Thanks to her, my dog was able to settle in comfortably and felt safe. I highly recommend Lorraine to anyone looking for someone trustworthy and compassionate to care for their pet.
William and his family have been so kind and wonderful with Oslo, our Lab mix. They always keep us updated on her daily activities and share lots of pictures, which really reassures us that she’s doing great. We’re so grateful for the excellent care they provided. Thank you for washing Oslo’s blanket and for being there for us when we needed you most. See you guys soon!

On Rover, sitters set their own rates based on factors such as their experience, the length of care, the number of pets, and your pet’s specific needs.

If you would like updates while you’re away, you can discuss with your sitter how many or how frequent you’d like those updates to be. The Rover app allows sitters to send photos, videos, and messages about your pet, including how many pee or poop breaks occurred. 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.
94% of sitters in Mid Island 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 Mid Island 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 Mid Island.
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 Mid Island. On Rover:
- 84% of sitters can help with special care needs
- 90% can help with giving oral medications or injections
- 94% 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 Mid Island 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.
