“Julia is outstanding! She and her partner, Danny, were such excellent sitters for our two doggos. Our little girl is the sweetest, easiest pup who gets along with everyone but our bigger, older boy is sensitive, a tad anxious and needs extra TLC; they were both treated like members of the family and pampered beyond belief. Chia & Pablo were given multiple walks every day, had loads of playtime and all the attention in the world. Julia sent amazing photos and pupdates daily and was outstanding with communication the entire time. We'll be happy leaving our squad with her anytime, our only fear is giving too good a review and Julia getting booked so much that she won't have availability to take care of our pups next time. You can rest easy with her looking after your four-legged loved ones.”
“Kaitlyn and Joshua were wonderful pet sitters! They were kind, thoughtful, and responsive throughout the boarding experience. I would absolutely recommend them to others looking to board their dogs.”
“Matthew was amazing with our dog, Charley. We had the best experience having Matthew watch Charley. I’m sad that we don’t live in New York; I’d LOVE for Matthew to watch my dog in a regular basis. Thank you Matthew for making it so easy to leave Charley knowing that she was in great hands. She will miss you!!!”
“Alexandra was so great with our older dog Phoebe! I know she was in great hands from the moment I dropped her off, and I didn’t have to worry about phoebe once while I was traveling. Would absolutely use Alexandra again in the future!”
“Renzo was great! We had good communication with photos each day. He was also incredibly understanding about us being a few hours late to pick her up because of a flight delay. We would absolutely him again.”
“Evangelia took excellent care of my dog, Mai Tai; she came home smelling like she had been bathed and brushed, and she seemed happy. I am grateful that I found a reliable, affordable pet sitter here on Rover.”
“Jhazmin was amazing with our Pomeranian. Jhazmin was very attentive and sweet. She was very responsive and would send multiple updates per day. We FaceTimed with her and our pup multiple times and we could see the care she had for our pup. Our dog has a medical condition that requires constant monitoring and Jhazmin always made us feel at peace with our dog’s medication management. We are very happy with the service Jhazmin provided to our pup for 17 days. We definitely plan to work with her again and we highly recommend her if you’re looking for a responsible and caring dog sitter. ❤️”
“My furbaby was comfortable with Keirstin. He spent a day with her before his 3 nights of boarding. He was quite excited to see her again to start his boarding for which I was pleased to see. While we were away, Keirstin sent us photos and updates and she was very responsive when I asked questions about his settling in her home. Thank you Keirstin.”
“Another fantastic stay with Stella! I'm so grateful for all of the thoughtful photos, videos, and updates she provides when my Stella is in her care. My girl came home satisfied and tired -- signs of a great trip!”
“ Nadia sent me daily updates of my dog looking very happy and getting lots if attention from her family, my pup returned happy and healthy, would definitely recommend Nadia!”
“My dogs had another wonderful stay with Stella for over a week! She goes above and beyond in caring for them, making sure they get their daily walks in whether rain, snow, or shine. I’m very happy to have found such a great sitter for them, and I can tell they are so happy to stay with her too.”
“Just picked up Winston from his second time doing daycare with Abbas, and we couldn’t be happier! Abbas takes care of our dog like he is his own & is super communicative the entire time we’re gone. We are so happy to have found a consistent sitter for Winston and would recommend his services to anyone!”

“Mitchell was great with Monty! He was very friendly, flexible about my schedule, and was a great communicator. He sent adorable photo updates of my dog (who stole all of Marsha’s dog toys lol) too!”
“I can’t recommend Wai enough! She and her kids took such wonderful care of Dobby and truly made him feel right at home. Dobby tends to get anxious when he’s away from us, so it meant so much to see how comfortable, happy, and loved he felt with them. We couldn’t have asked for a better experience!”
“Victoria is an excellent dogsitter and communicator! I left my little terrier with her for a week, and she provided continuous assurance that my pup was safe and well taken care of.

Emma is the best! She looked after our dog Murphy for two weeks. She sent us daily updates and every photo she sent made us smile as Murphy looked so happy! Even when we dropped him off, he was excited to see Emma :). Emma is a top notch dog sitter and we would highly recommend her to anyone looking for dog care in the area. A good dog sitter is hard to find so we are very happy to have found Emma!
Marshay was fabulous! Before I booked, she met up with me at the nearby park and then allowed me to bring him to her apartment to confirm that he and they would be comfortable. She kept me updated with pictures daily and when I went to pick up my dog, he didn’t even come to me at first because he felt at home at her place. Will definitely be using Marshay again for future stays!! 😊
I was initially very nervous about leaving Enzo with a pet sitter, but seeing the daily updates gave me so much peace of mind! 💗 Annie took such wonderful care of Enzo, and it honestly felt like a little vacation for him! 🐾💕 I could tell he was happy, comfortable, and well-loved throughout his stay. Annie will definitely be my go-to pet sitter from now on. I couldn’t recommend her enough! 🥰
Emma was amazinggggg. She had no problems taking care of Mipha even with Mipha’s dog-reactivity. She gave so many updates & pictures throughout her stay and I knew Mipha was in good hands when I saw how cuddly Mipha was with Emma 🥹 I would love to have Mipha stay with Emma again in the future!
I left my pop Bernice in the good care of Anne for a long weekend and she had an absolute blast. She was very well cared for and Anne was really great about sending consistent updates and photos. I really appreciate that she already had a crate and that it was easy to drop off and pick up due to the parking area of her building. I will definitely be working with Anne again.
Stephanie was great! Super responsive and accommodating, from setting up the meet and greet to keeping us updated and being flexible with pickup. She took great care of Marshmallow and sent plenty of photos without us even having to ask. We'd definitely book with her again.
Claire is the best sitter we’ve ever had! Poppy always knows when we are close by to where Claire is and tries to drag us over, because of how much she enjoys staying with her. Claire has brought so much joy into Poppy’s life - bringing her to the annual Halloween dog show, shopping, Central Park, Madison square park, and countless other excursions. Thank you for taking such good care of Poppy!
Paulette took care of my dog, Wilson, for the first time, and it was a fantastic experience. Prior to the stay, we met so she could ask valuable questions about his care and gather emergency contacts. During our trip, Paulette was highly communicative, sending regular updates and photos, which reassured us that Wilson was doing well. She maintained his routine and ensured he was comfortable. We were very pleased with her attention to detail and would highly recommend her as a sitter. We would definitely book with Paulette again. Thank you for taking great care of Wilson!
Just the absolute best!! They took such great care of our Sheru and we are so blessed to have met such a wonderful family to keep him with when we go on holiday. The daily pictures and updates make you truly feel at ease knowing your pup is in good hands when you’re away. Would (and already have) rebooked with them and I know Sheru will be so excited to go back to his holiday club!! :)
We had a wonderful experience leaving Ozzy in Junadi and Tina’s care! They were both incredibly attentive and caring, followed all the instructions we provided, and sent us daily photos and updates, which gave us great peace of mind while we were away. It was clear that Ozzy was well cared for and received lots of love and attention. We’re so grateful to Junadi and Tina and highly recommend them! We would absolutely trust them with Ozzy again!

Only sitters who have never booked with you before can schedule a Meet & Greet on Rover; however, you are welcome to coordinate one in Rover messages with sitters you have previously booked. This can be helpful if you have a new pet or routine you want to go over with your sitter.
Meet & Greets can take place in person or virtually. If you are booking with a sitter for the first time, we recommend in-person Meet & Greets to get a clearer sense of how your sitter interacts with your pet 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. Meet & Greets are a great way to prepare your pet and sitter for longer stays or first-time bookings. Read our tips for your first .
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.

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. Cats may be required to have Feline Viral Rhinotracheitis and Rabies up to date.
