“Jadyn does it again🫶🏽! Our #1 sitter to contact whenever we need a loving, caring, knowledgeable place for our fur baby Beau. Thank you Jadyn for being such a wonderful, accessible, loving, and understanding person. To see Beau, get so excited from the time we turn onto your block, shows the Love he has for you. Our family appreciates you and your time.♥️”
“David is my go to sitter for my dog. He is amazing and always so accommodating. He is so knowledgeable about dogs and I feel safe leaving my dog with him. I know that Kali has a great time whenever she stays with him.”
“Maria is so amazing- I cannot recommend her highly enough. My cat loves staying with her- she is so great with animals and really attuned to their personalities and quirks( my boy is obsessed with treats and trying to scam his way into a second breakfast). 🤣😂She was also flexible about extending my stay when my flight was delayed and I had to come in later than expected. Same with pick up😊”
“Natasha and Hamir were wonderful sitters for Lino. They took the time and care to listen to our requests and instructions, and updated us daily on how he was doing, including photos. We could tell he was being cared for and he was really happy. Lino can be human-selective and indifferent to other dogs, and Natasha and Hamir respected that and live in an area where there is a lot of space from both possible triggers. We wouldn’t hesitate to reach out to them again for boarding!”
“We’re so thankful for the care and attention our dog gets with Cherissa and her family! We get plenty of photo updates while away and missing our dog, and we appreciate the flexibility for drop off and pick up around our travel schedule! Thank you!”
“Brittany was wonderful with Cody. He is not used to be separated from us so we knew that he would be a challenge. I am happy with the treatment that Cody received and if the occasion occurs we will book with Brittany again.”
“First time using a Rover, Richard made us feel very at ease and welcomed. Zeven our Goldendoodle seemed to have had a good time and we appreciated the photo up dates a couple of times during his stay. We will definitely use Richard and Karen again next time we are in the area and wouldn’t hesitate to recommend them to anyone visiting West Point with their dog.”
“Gretchen took excellent care of my dog while I was away. He seemed very happy during his stay. I also received daily photos and updates about how he was doing. I'll definitely use Gretchen's services again.”
“My dog Keke had a great time with Maxine, her family and their dog, Skyler. Keke is a runner and there is plenty of space for running, hiking and more. I recommend Maxine and will surely have Keke stay again in the future. Thanks”
“Joy was so responsive and caring from the first time she met us and Izzy our dog. we really appreciated her competency and care. I felt very secure leaving Izzy in Joy’s care.”
“What a wonderful home away from home for Tilly ! We were in a last minute crunch and Rosemarie responded instantly as we had a very short timeframe in which to find a booking. Her previous reviews had me feeling very comfortable in my frantic search when I was in need of a safe place for Tilly. Boy did we get way more than that! We received daily pictures,videos and messages and could see that this was indeed the absolute perfect placement for her. A fenced in yard to run freely and some company on the couch was an added bonus for sure! Our number one priority was only for her safety during her stay and we certainly could not have asked for anything more. We truly hit the jackpot and our family will be calling on Rosemarie again when we find the need.Her care,communication and flexibility are huge assets and we never had a single worry about the level of care being given; it was both exceptional and above and beyond ! Tilly no doubt will be returning !”
“I left my mini Australian shepherd for a long weekend with Lucienne. She was incredibly flexible with pickup and drop off times. We did a meet and greet before hand where it was clear she was going to give my dog a great weekend. She sent photo updates during the weekend”
“Rich watched our dog 2 separate occasions now. He’s a very friendly person and updates with pictures of our dog daily. Angel, our dog seems to always enjoy her stay at Rich’s. Also Rich has a nice fenced in back yard for the dogs to run around freely. 10/10 would recommend to anyone. Thank you!”
“I honestly couldn’t have asked for a better sitter! Michael was attentive, caring, communicative, and treated my dog like his own.I received updates and felt reassured the entire time I was away. My dogs were happy, well cared for, and clearly comfortable. It’s such a relief knowing you can trust someone with your fur baby, and I would absolutely book with them again without hesitation! If you’re looking for someone who genuinely loves and cares about the dogs they watch, I HIGHLY recommend them!”
“We had a wonderful experience with Leib as our dog sitter! He was caring, responsible, and clearly loves animals. We felt completely at ease knowing our dog was in such good hands, and the updates and pictures were so appreciated. Our dog came home happy and well cared for. Leib truly went above and beyond, and we would absolutely recommend him!”
“We couldn’t have asked for a better experience working with Chris to take care of our mini Aussie. She was very responsive, shared photos and updated us regularly. We hadn’t used Rover before so we were a bit nervous leaving our little guy but he didn’t miss us at all! Chris was extraordinarily sensitive to Tucker’s needs and took great care of him. I look forward to working with Chris again (and so does Tucker)!”
“Volha was really great, very responsible and thoughtful, kept us posted regarding the well being of our dog and sent pictures of her every day. Chloe seemed very happy when we picked her up.”
“Highly recommend Melissa! My anxious pup settled in quickly and was clearly treated like family. Melissa provided my dog activity, enrichment, and affection, all while keeping me updated with regular communication. It’s rare to find someone who cares this much. We will definitely book with her again!”

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 Nelsonville 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 Nelsonville 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 Nelsonville.
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 Nelsonville. On Rover:
- 88% of sitters can help with special care needs
- 93% 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 Nelsonville 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.
