“Amber was the best sitter for our furbaby, Marla. She treated her like her own and took care of her while we were away. Marla enjoyed her vacation at Amber’s place. We will definitely book Amber’s service again.”
“Gerald did a great job with my senior foster, Pam. She deals with significant anxiety and back-leg pain, so I was nervous about leaving her in a new space with a stranger, but I had nothing to worry about. She settled in quickly and even felt comfortable enough to trick Gerald into getting off the couch so she could steal his spot. Although she’s usually reluctant to be active, she went on several walks with him. Gerald was also great about sending regular photos and updates, and very flexible when I ran late for pickup. Highly recommended for anyone with a senior or high-needs dog.”
“John was an excellent boarder for Milo. He took such great care of him and kept me updated throughout his stay by sending pictures and text messages. He also made sure Milo received his medication on time and as scheduled. Thank you, John, for giving me peace of mind and reassurance knowing that Milo was in such good hands. I truly appreciate the love and care you gave him!”
“Kelly could not have been more communicative and kind. She took such good care of our pup, and he came home exhausted (which is what we hoped for since he’s so high energy). She kept us up to date on all necessary things during our pups stay, and send videos and pictures too. We will definitely consider booking again in the future!”
“Denise took great care of my baby while I was in vaca. He needed to take his medication daily and she made sure he did. She loved and cared for him like her own. Denise is the best !”
“AleV was absolutely INCREDIBLE! This was our first time leaving Keegan and she made it as easy as possible. Regular pics, videos and update. She cared for him as if he was her own. We are so thankful to have found her. CANNOT recommend higher!”
“Christine watched our 1.5 year old Cockapoo for 5 days. She sent pics and updated us throughout that stay. She is caring and a true dog lover! We have had some not so good experiences in the past and we're so glad to have found Christine. Thank you again!”
“Donna was fantastic with our Molly. She gave updates and pictures, and definitely took such good care of my girl. I will definitely be using her again for our future travels !”
“We needed a place for our puppy to stay for 2 weeks while we were away. After reading the reviews I contacted Laurie and we set up a time to FaceTime each other since we were unable to do a meet & greet. Laurie agreed to the booking. Laurie was easy to coordinate drop off and pick up times with. She and her husband are caring, professional, and have a very clean home. There was no worry in my mind that our pup was in excellent hands.”
“Eliana was the perfect match for my Daytona! She was constantly sending me updates on my boy and he seemed so happy and content in every photo! Thank you for taking such great care of our puppy! We will definitely be using Eliana for future stays!!”
About: For 15 years, I have loved and cared for my animals. I was lucky enough to receive excellent training for my shepherd/husky and incorporate the methods during interactions with other animals as well as my new puppy. I completely understand needing reliable care when away. Patience, exercise and attention work wonders!! I'm currently working remote on Thursdays and am able to fit walks in throughout the day as well as during weekends. A varied schedule is fine!! Ensuring the animal's environment is the same when I leave as when I arrive is necessary to prevent injury or any accident. My yard is completely fenced in and equipped to play and run!
“I had the absolute best experience with Lindsay K. and can't recommend her enough to anyone who needs pet sitting services! She took care of my two cats for a week while I was in the process of moving, and from the very start (booking on the app) she made everything so easy and completely stress-free. She was incredibly communicative, flexible, and accommodating with scheduling - which I really appreciated while things were a little hectic on my end. She sent me at least three updates a day, complete with photos and little notes about how they were doing, what they were up to, and how they were eating and behaving. It was so reassuring and honestly a huge relief to know they were being so well looked after. One of my cats acts like she owns the place (any place) and the other is pretty shy and takes a while to warm up to new people. Lindsay easily accommodated their individual personality preferences and silly sibling dynamic so that both cats were clearly getting lots of love and attention every day. She was so patient, kind, and gentle with my scaredy cat that he warmed up quickly and was comfortable and happy in her care. It’s not easy to find someone like Lindsay who is not only reliable and professional, but also genuinely thoughtful and caring when it comes to bonding with pets. I felt completely at ease leaving my cats in her care, and was happy to bring home two very content and well-cared-for kitties. If you’re looking for someone who will treat your pets like her own, look no further — she’s the best! 100/10 stars and would 100% book again the next time I need a cat sitter!”
About: I absolutely love dogs! I would have 100 of them if I could, but that’s not realistic, so instead I get to watch other people‘s dogs. My own older dog, Milo is my whole world, and I treat every pet in my care like they’re my own. I know how much your fur baby means to you, so I make sure they get plenty of love, attention and patience. I love this job and would love to watch your pup 🐕💗 Services 🐶 Dog Walks: A stroll around your neighborhood that gives your pup the exercise, fresh air, and mental stimulation they need. Drop-Ins: A visit at your home that can include: Potty break Feeding and fresh water Playtime and exercise Snuggles and companionship Whatever else your pup needs House Sitting / Overnight Boarding: I stay overnight with your pup so they have company and comfort in their own home (or mine), along with attentive daytime care every 0-2 hours depending on your dog’s needs, including: Potty breaks and walks Meals Playtime Cuddles Medication, if needed Doggy Daycare: Time spent with your pup while you’re away, giving them whatever they need: Hydration, food, and treats Cuddles and playtime Walks About Me✨ I’ve cared for family dogs my whole life, and I’m usually the person family and friends call when they need a reliable pet sitter. I have experience with dogs of all ages, from energetic puppies to senior dogs who need extra patience and gentle care, and I’m comfortable with all personalities. I’ve also administered medication to my own dog, Milo, so I understand the importance of consistency, routines, and paying close attention to a pet’s needs. With Milo, I handle everything from bathing and daily care to teaching basic tricks and maintaining a structured routine. I truly enjoy building trust with animals and making sure they feel safe, comfortable, and loved while their owners are away. I’ll treat your dog with the same care and attention I give my own. What Makes Me Stand Out 🐕🐕🦺 Time and attention: I have a flexible job, which means I’m available for drop-ins and house sitting with flexible scheduling, frequent potty breaks, companionship, and attentive care throughout the day. Walks that go beyond the block: I make walks fun and mentally stimulating, not just a quick loop. Depending on your dog’s personality and energy level, walks can include: Sniff breaks New routes to explore I am self employed so I have tons of flexibility in my schedule and can absolutely make time for your pup! Pet care is already a huge part of my daily routine so caring for animals comes naturally and I would love to add your own 🐶🐕💗 I have a large fenced backyard with tons of grass space and areas to sniff and run around. I also have my own dog, Milo, who is sociable and can keep your dog company and help them feel more comfortable. Milo loves to play and is well trained.
“Amazing family home, Diana and Mike are perfect sitters and the peace of mind they provided with the constant pics and updates truly made my trip that much better. Highly recommend!”
“Emma was fantastic. This was my first experience leaving my 4 month old golden. My golden is young and full of energy, the sitter needs to be special and Emma certainly was. I highly recommend Emma and will ask her again in the future.”
“Trisha was great, she kept us in the loop with pictures and texts the whole evening. It was the first time we left our dog Jax who’s 1-1/2 old boxer with tons of energy. Thank you Trisha and we will definitely leave Jax with again and again.”

“Rachel and Henrik (and their two wonderful kids!) watched our two Goldendoodles for the weekend, and we couldn’t have had a better experience. From the start, it was clear this was a perfect fit—we did a meet-and-greet beforehand, and instantly felt comfortable. Their home is beautiful, clean, and has a great backyard where our dogs had plenty of space to run and play. More importantly, our dogs were treated like part of the family—they got tons of attention, snuggles, and care all weekend. We also really appreciated the frequent updates and photos, which gave us total peace of mind. When we dropped them off, our dogs were so excited they ran right in without hesitation—that says everything. You can truly tell how much Rachel and Henrik love dogs and care for them as their own. One of the nicest families we’ve met, and we felt completely at ease knowing our dogs were so well cared for. We will absolutely be using them again and highly recommend them to anyone looking for exceptional dog care.”

Dog parents share their Rover experiences - Oakdale
This was our first time leaving Finn with anyone outside of family or our usual sitter. Sandy was so responsive, provided a comfortable and safe environment for the dogs, and you could tell she really cares for the dogs! I would highly recommend her for anyone considering boarding with Rover.
We had an excellent experience with Jennifer. She was extremely loving to our dog and treated him as if he was her own. She sent regular updates and photos. The dog seemed extremely comfortable in her home. I would recommend Jennifer to anyone who wants peace of mind.
Great experience with Jen from beginning to end! Our pup Blu stayed with her for 6 days and we felt very comfortable knowing she was in good hands. We received updates while away with pics showing our pup comfy cozy in her care. We'll definitely be booking with Jen next time we travel.

Frequently asked questions about Rover
As of October 2026, there are 2,323 sitters on Rover offering Dog Boarding across Oakdale. Enter your ZIP code to see which available sitters are closest to your home.
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.
95% of sitters in Oakdale 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 Oakdale home-away-from-home, 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 Oakdale.
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.
You and your Oakdale 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 , 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 .
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.
