“Melissa was absolutely wonderful with my Roman. I was able to feel relaxed and confident that my pup was getting the right care he needed. She sent me photos everyday of him and kept me updated on how he was doing. I will definitely be rebooking again and will be sure to recommend her to anyone looking for a dog sitter.”
“Luna stayed with Antonia for the second time. She likes her a lot and her dog and cat. Will keep booking with Antonia when we need a caring, sweet and attentive sitter. I know Luna is in good hands when she goes to Antonia.”
“Giana took such good care of my dog - he's currently passed out and snoring, which I feel he will be doing all week! He loved her dogs and played so well with them. She also sent a ton of pictures and even did a cute photo shoot!! I am so happy we found her!”
“It was our first time leaving Canela with a sitter and the experience couldn't be better... We will definitely be using Carlos and Natalia's service again.”
“Jenna did a really good job with our little one! She kept us updated both days and the photos were just the cutest ever, we can tell he had so much fun and was really well taken care of. Thank you for keeping him calm at night when he couldn’t sleep and got a little nervous, you really did an amazing job ❤️”
“Leo had a great time with Lorena. Lorena has no problems giving him all his medication. He enjoyed his time with Lorena and got to sleep in her bedroom and take fun walks and dance to Spanish music. I received many pictures and videos during Leo’s time with Lorena.”
“We left our dog Holly with Patrick for 8 days. Patrick sent pictures of Holly. It was reassuring to see how her days were going. We picked up Holly and found her to be happy and well cared for. We would definitely recommend Patrick for anyone looking for a care taker for their dog.”
“So behind in writing these reviews, and just left a more detailed review on our second stay with Jeff, but wanted to leave a 5 star here as well. Jeff is knowledgeable and kind and clearly loves dogs. He has been a wonderful find for us here on Rover, and we are so grateful to have him for our pup free getaways.”
“Gabi was wonderful with Lupo. She was very responsive, prepared and gave us regular updates. Her house and backyard were perfect for our active 35lbs mix. Gabi even bakes her own treats! Highly recommended and looking forward to using Gabi again.”
“Toni and family watched our 1 yr old Staffy, Rocky while we went away on vacay for about 5 days. We got regular pics and updates on how he was doing which helped with peace of mind. Rocky was on a special diet and meds due to tummy issues a couple of weeks prior and Toni was very accommodating. She also kept Rocky separate from her dogs due to him not being used to having to share space with other pups which I appreciated. Rocky seems to have been well taken care of and we would definitely use Toni's services in the future if need be.”
“Apryl was great watching my dog while I was away. She’s friendly patient and knowledgeable and I had no worries leaving my Penny with her. Definitely recommend her services”
“Jamie was a great host. She sent us pictures several times during the day and was always responsive when we asked how our baby was. We would highly recommend her and plan on using her all the time.”
“Alyssa was amazing with our pup for a weekend. We got plenty of updates and didn’t worry about him at all while away for a wedding. She handled his meds like a pro and also made sure he was comfortable at night. He was spoiled by her backyard and the devoted attention from her family members! Would absolutely book with her again - thank you Alyssa!”
“I couldn’t have asked for a better sitter! She treated Bailey like her own and made me feel completely at ease while I was away. Jeannemarie sent pictures and updates every day, which I really appreciated and looked forward to. It was clear my dog was happy, comfortable, and very well cared for. I would absolutely trust her with my dog again and highly recommend her to anyone looking for a caring, reliable sitter! ❤️🐾”

She did very good with our Rosie! 10/10 highly recommend to be used!! We will be using Korin again for the near future any time we are going away for sure!! Thank you Korin for everything!!
Absolutely wonderful experience! This was my first time leaving my dog with a korin for weekend, and I couldn’t be happier. They took excellent care of my dog, kept me updated, and made me feel completely at ease. My dog was happy, comfortable, and well cared for. I would definitely recommend them and will be booking again! 🐾❤️
Ashley saved Christmas! We have an allergic nephew and needed to drop Moby off somewhere. Ashley accepted Moby and he had a blast with her dogs and her enormous gated property. The most fun he’s had in a long time! We are very grateful Ashley was available for the holiday booking.

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.
97% of sitters in Middle 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 Middle 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 Middle 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 Middle Island. On Rover:
- 91% of sitters can help with special care needs
- 94% can help with giving oral medications or injections
- 97% 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 Middle 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.
