“Sashina was a life saver for me! When my Rover reservation canceled 2 days prior to my leaving on a 9 day vacation, I was stuck looking for a last minute replacement and Sashina came through for me! She was quick to respond and was very accommodating. We texted prior to meeting and I was very confident my expectations would be met. She did a great job! She provided me with daily updates and pictures. I felt like she treated my dog as a member of her family. I would use her again and highly recommend her!”

“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.”

“Sabrina was amazing with magnolia! I’ve had unfavorable Rover experiences in the past so planned ahead and did a meet and greet. I could tell instantly how warm and genuine she is- she even read up on the notes before that meeting. I felt super comfortable heading into our weekend away. During the weekend she gave several updates and was generous with photos/ videos all descriptive of magnolias characteristics. I knew Magnolia loved her stay with Sabrina when I picked her up and she kept looking back for her to walk away with us! I will absolutely book with her again whenever she’s free!”

I genuinely can’t say enough good things about Grace and Taha! Mowgli is a super friendly but VERY energetic one-year-old pup with absolutely no concept of personal space. This was his first time staying with a sitter other than his original trainer, and since I was leaving him for 10 days, I was pretty nervous. I spoke with several sitters before choosing Grace and Taha, and I’m incredibly glad I did. From the start, Grace was responsive and reassuring, even after I warned her that Mowgli can be a handful. Throughout his stay, they treated him like their own—following all my instructions, brushing him regularly, taking him on tons of walks and dog-park trips, and bringing him along with them. They also sent multiple photos, videos, and updates every day. He looked so happy that I genuinely started wondering if he’d want to come home! Around day six or seven, I asked if he’d had any accidents and found out he’d already had three. They hadn’t even felt the need to bother me about them, and when I apologized, they simply said he’s a puppy and it’s no big deal. That says a lot about how patient and experienced they are. An unexpected bonus: Grace is an amazing photographer. The photos and videos she sent were incredible, and she even offered to upload everything to a Drive for me afterward. I’m incredibly grateful I found them. Grace and Taha will absolutely be my first choice whenever I travel going forward, for Mowgli and my other dog as well. I’d recommend them without hesitation. Thank you both for taking such amazing care of Mowgli!
I can’t recommend Cody enough. He watched my 1 year old Frenchie Gizmo for six days and took better care of him than I could’ve hoped. From the start he asked all the right questions so I knew Gizmo was in good hands, and he was always super quick to respond. He kept me updated with photos the whole time which put me at ease. Zero stress on my end. He lives right by the dog park so Gizmo got tons of outdoor time and walks, and he even worked on some training. Gizmo came home better behaved than when he left. Cody and his partner are both home so Gizmo was supervised the entire time and never left alone. Cody made safety a priority and made sure I was comfortable too. Honestly Gizmo didn’t even want to come home lol. That says it all. If you want a sitter who’s reliable and actually cares, book Cody. I definitely will again.
Kenny had such a great time with Anna. He clearly had so much fun playing fetch in the dog run, we got plenty of pictures daily to see how well he was doing and he came home tired and happy. Anna was really responsive and made us at ease during time away from Kenny. Thank you so much!
She took such amazing care of my dog! Honestly, she is the best person I’ve gone to for boarding, and I will definitely be going back. Her communication skills are excellent—she is always on point and keeps me updated, which gives me so much peace of mind. I feel completely safe knowing my dog is in her care. You can truly tell that she cares about the dogs she looks after. I highly recommend her and will definitely be using her again! ❤️🐶
Robin is the BEST! We did a meet and cute to make sure our baby got acclimated with her place before booking, and Robin was super communicative throughout the entire process. She sent so many photos throughout the boarding, and I could tell Milo had the best time with her. He went on lots of walks and had plenty of play time. We have an adorable but reactive dog so we are very picky with who we can entrust with our dog. Robin was understanding and she took amazing care of Milo despite these challenges. I would ask Robin to dogsit Milo again without hesitation. It is very obvious that Robin has lots of experience with dogs and genuinely loves and cares for dogs. We were so so so pleased with our experience.
Sarah has been a fantastic dog sitter for Loki for almost two weeks. She’s a very caring person making sure Loki was ok, and sending regular updates so I wouldn’t have to worry about my dog while away. Super flexible and nice person to deal with, would 100% recommend her service and aim already looking at booking with her soon as Loki was o sad to leave her place. Thank you Sarah!
Sam was a wonderful and incredibly kind dog sitter for Tilly. She was also very flexible, which made everything so much easier. She went above and beyond to make sure Tilly felt loved and cared for—even carrying her when needed (my bulldog can be a bit stubborn sometimes 😊). Beforehand, we met in advance and Sam took the time to walk me through how she cares for dogs while also asking thoughtful questions to understand Tilly’s needs. Tilly absolutely loved her, and we’ll definitely be booking Sam again for future trips. Thanks Sam 🐶🩷
Merica is always wonderful! I’ve booked with her several times now, and I’m always so happy knowing my pups are in her care. They absolutely love her. She’s kind, gentle, and so attentive, and I really appreciate all the updates, photos, and videos she sends while I’m away. It gives me such peace of mind knowing they’re happy and well cared for. I can’t recommend Merica enough!
Amy took very good care of our Winston. She sent us photos every day and we could see he was very happy. She even figured out some of Winston's favorite activities and ensured he got to enjoy them! We will definitely look at trusting Amy to look after Winston again in the future.
Kira was a wonderful sitter for Toby! She sent daily updates, photos, and short videos throughout his 11 day stay. Toby looked so comfortable and at home with her and her pup, Footsie. She kindly made sure he had extra toys in his size, a comfy dog bed, and extra play time in her buildings dog play area. Kira followed all care instructions and made sure Toby was happy and well taken care of. Will definitely have Kira sit for Toby again in the future! 💕 Thank you Kira!

There are 14,520 sitters on Rover for Pet Boarding in New York City. About 88% of New York City sitters can respond to requests in under 60 minutes. Whether you’re planning ahead for holidays, need last-minute care, or need same-day coverage for an urgent trip, you can message multiple sitters at once to find available care.

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 pet, 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.
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. Cats may be required to have Feline Viral Rhinotracheitis and Rabies up to date.
By discussing your pet's health history early, you’re adding a layer of confidence for you and your sitter before the booking begins.
Emergency support is available by phone or email in English 24/7. When an incident occurs, we recommend that sitters contact our Trust & Safety team immediately so that they can connect your sitter with a board-certified veterinarian or offer other resources to help.
If a sitter needs to cancel at the last minute, Rover’s reservation protection means our team will work with you to find a suitable replacement as quickly as possible.
