There were so many adorable photos of Cordelia throughout the day and best of all was Mari’s reliability and punctuality that made my drop off and pick up a breeze.

About: ve been caring for animals for as long as I can remember. My first dog — Lucy, a Border Collie I had when I was 11 back in Shanghai, China — was my best friend for 16 years. Alongside her, I cared for a rescued stray cat "Noji" and an adopted poodle "Bebe" when I was 13, which taught me patience, responsibility, policing different pets, and how to understand different pet personalities. After moving to the U.S. for school, I brought home my baby Corgi "Brioche" in 2020. She’s now a 5-year-old certified service dog who’s friendly, well-trained, and walked three times a day for at least 30 minutes each time. I also helped train and kept a baby Devon Rex cat for my family in 2025. What sets me apart is my lifelong, hands-on experience with pets of different breeds, ages, and temperaments — from energetic puppies to senior dogs. I love fur babies more than anything and always prioritize their comfort, safety, and happiness. I will be working part time starting summer 2026 in NYC, so my schedule is flexible, I'm available for daily walks, boarding both weekdays and weekends. I live in a 2 bedroom in FiDi close to battery park city. There are no crates and my corgi was never crate-trained. I don't have indoor pet potty so I almost only take my dog out for potty unless the weather is crazy. I have plenty of dog beds and toys.
“Lauren was the perfect babysitter for our pup while we were away for the day! We could tell he loved getting to hang with her and she was super responsive. We’ll definitely schedule another time for Lauren to watch Rizzo :)”
“I booked with Sarah for a last minute doggy day care. She was super responsive and sent multiple photos and updates of my dog during the day. I would definitely book with her again!”
“I cannot say more wonderful things about Hassandra. She was so professional and kind, sent me so many pics and I loved that Bean could play with her pup and kids- he came home a happy, exhausted pup! HIGHLY recommend”
“Was such a blessing and relief to have you both take care of my baby girl. This was her first experience being babysat by strangers and she absolutely loved it! She came home and rested all evening. Thank you so much for spoiling her.”
“Poppy gets nervous with new people, and Kendall did an amazing job making sure she felt safe and cared for. I got tons of updates throughout the day too. Definitely recommend!”
“Amanda took great care of Jill while we were out the whole day. Jill is usually cautious with new people but she trusted Amanda really quickly. I recommend Amanda's services.”

“Yirui took such great care of my pup Naomi. Yirui asked detailed questions to ensure that she provided continuity and routine for Naomi, while also giving her a comfortable space to have fun and feel at home. She sent updates and pics throughout the day that made me feel at ease. The best part is that Naomi has made a new friend with Yirui’s pup Julie!”
“Ellana was amazing. Very responsive and caring. She took the time to understand the delicate situation my dog was in and handled it with such care. She sent me updates throughout the day. Thank you so much!”
“Grace provided outstanding doggie day care for our puppy and went above and beyond our expectations. Excellent communication pre pup drop off and during his stay with her and her attention she gave to him far, far surpasses any other service available. If you care for your pup like we do, then they should be in the care of someone who cares as much as you do, and this is Grace! Very sweet and kind and this shows in the reaction and interaction of her pups as it did mine! We look forward to using her doggie day care in the very near future and highly recommend her!”

Dog parents share their Rover experiences - New York
Hannah is amazing with Miso! She takes such great care of her. I can tell how happy and comfortable Miso is when she’s with Hannah and her beagles. Miso gets so excited to see them when we drop her off, which says a lot about how much Miso enjoys spending time with them! I trust Hannah completely because it’s very clear that she genuinely loves dogs and knows how to care for them. She’s attentive, caring, and makes me feel so comfortable knowing Miso is in good hands. I’m so grateful to have found someone I can trust with Miso and would absolutely recommend Hannah to anyone looking for a loving and reliable dog sitter!
Maria was very communicative and patient with Kiwi, even when he was crying at first. I love that Maria shared so many photos and that her dogs got along with Kiwi so well! I can tell he had a great time and was in such a great mood when I picked him up. Would absolutely recommend Maria!
Ellice took such wonderful care of my baby! She kept me updated throughout his stay and sent me lots of pictures, which gave me so much peace of mind. She was also incredibly accommodating when there was an unexpected delay on our end with pickup. She’s been the absolute sweetest, and I could tell my baby was happy and well cared for with her. I would definitely choose Ellice again for pet sitting and highly recommend her!

Sitters on Rover can offer flexible scheduling, so you can coordinate times that work best for you and your pet—whether that’s early drop-off or later pick-up to match your New York commute.
If your schedule changes, it’s best to let your sitter know through the app as early as possible. Many sitters can adjust pick-up and drop-off times when needed.
Think of doggy day care as your dog’s fun, supervised play date that happens to fit into your workday. Day care through Rover takes place in a real home. This offers a calmer and more personalized environment for your pup.
A typical day can include companionship, one-on-one attention, and same day pick-up and drop-off. Many sitters can also offer structured routines and exercise throughout the day. For recurring, weekly day care, sitters will include photo updates so you can see your dog in their element.
Here are tips for finding the ideal day care fit for your dog:
- For some small dogs: In-home day care can be the perfect fit. Look for sitters whose "can host" section only lists dogs weighing 0–7 kilograms and/or 7–18 kilograms. During your Meet & Greet, ask about play areas based on dog size and energy level.
- For high-energy dogs: The ideal doggy day care can offer scheduled breaks and outdoor spaces or activities. You can also find sitters who host multiple dogs to satisfy your pup’s socializing needs.
- For dogs who prefer human-only companionship: Use the filters "Doesn't own a dog" and "Only accepts one pet at a time" to find the right care.
Play groups can be an option when you book with a day care sitter through Rover. Many sitters do host a small number of dogs at the same time. Smaller dog packs are generally safer, more fun, and ideal for dogs who enjoy playtime but also want to relax throughout the day. When looking for your dog’s pack, check the sitter’s profile to see if they "Accept multiple clients" or have their own dogs. Then during the Meet & Greet, you can see whether your dog is a good fit for their social circle!
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.
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 .
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.
A Meet & Greet is a short introductory meeting between you, your dog, and a sitter. It can take place in person or virtually, although we recommend in-person so that your pet can get to know your sitter 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. Most pet parents and sitters on Rover welcome Meet & Greets because the process can give confidence and peace of mind for service experiences, especially for longer stays or first-time bookings.
Yes, Rover is well-suited for finding sitters who can care for your pet within 24 hours. With 11,427 sitters in New York, 87% respond to messages in under an hour.
You can message multiple sitters simultaneously to find the fastest available match. If you need care today or tomorrow, you can look for sitters with a "calendar last updated" notice on their profiles.
Sitters on Rover set their own cancellation policy, which you can find on their profile under their calendar availability.
Cancelling before a booking begins and before the sitter's cutoff time qualifies you for a full refund. Same-day cancellations for walks, day care, and drop-ins follow the full refund policy. Otherwise, for dog boarding and house sitting, you will receive a 50% refund for the first seven days of the booking and a 100% refund for the remaining days when you cancel the same day a booking should begin.
If your sitter needs to cancel within seven days of the booking's start date, then our reservation protection will kick in. This means our support team works with you to find a replacement sitter.
