“It was such a pleasure to have Shirley watch our dog. He is a senior dog and requires additional attention. Shirley was amazing and keeping us up to date on how he was doing and he honestly was on vacation himself. He had so much fun!”
“I would like to start by saying, in general I am a skeptical person who does not trust people with my dog because like others, my dog is my child. With that being said, I needed a dog sitter short notice while I went on a family vacation to Africa and prior arrangements fell through. Hesitant, I knew that a sitter would be best for me because I didn’t like the idea of boarding him at a facility. My dog weighs 4 lbs and is still a puppy, he seeks love and companionship. While scrolling through Rover I found Diane and I am happy I did. She was amazing in every aspect. She kept me posted about my dog with text, videos, and pictures several times throughout the day. She gave him sooooo much love and affection, responded fast and answered any questions I might have. She was very accommodating to me and Kobe. She treated him like he was her dog. She even sent him off with a gift. I trust her so much and will be sure to book with her over and over again. Thank you so much Diane. If you are looking a for someone who will love and provide good, safe care for your dog please book Diane.”
“Wendy watched my cat when over the weekend. She is extremely communicative and flexible. She sent a lot of pictures and updated me while I was away. She listened to my concerns and addressed them as well.”
“Julia was terrific! She and Bailey hit it off right away. Got a bunch of pics with Bailey out for a walk, playing with toys and a restful night sleep. Will use Julia again!”
“Juliana was great! Very detailed and responsive with updates and took care of basically everything! I will definitely be rebooking with her in the future!”
“Lynn took care of our fur baby for over a month. Milo (1 yr old Siberian husky) was suffering from separation anxiety right after we dropped him off, Lynn went above and beyond to comfort him. She was kind, caring and provided us regular updates and photos throughout the trip. Our overseas trip could not have been possible without Lynn. Lynn will be Milo’s first choice for all his future boarding needs. Thanks Lynn for taking care of Milo. You are the best !!”
“This was my first time leaving Jesse with anyone other than family and Athena did such an amazing job. Jesse warmed right up to her and she kept me updated. You can tell she’s very good with dogs because my pup usually has separation anxiety. I definitely will book again”
“Margarita was wonderful! She took great care of my dog and made everything so easy for me. She picked him up and brought him home, which was especially helpful since I was having surgery. I really appreciated knowing he was in good hands. I would definitely recommend her!”
“Vanessa was kind, patient and responsive. This was my first time leaving Jax with a sitter and she put me at ease the entire time. I received daily pictures and updates. I would recommend Vanessa to anyone that is nervous about leaving their pet for the first time.”
“Denis and his wife took such good care of my cat. It was her first time staying at someone else's home and my cat (and I) was very nervous, but they sent frequent updates and pictures and made sure she was as happy as could be.”
“I have a 2 year old high energy Lab. Tanu took great care of her. Plenty of activities and great care. Posted lots of pictures and videos throughout to let us know how my dog was doing. Would use Tanu next time when i need someone to dog sit. Recommend 100%”
“Joey was great! His entire family are so warm and friendly and set my anxiety about dog sitting my large, spoiled, tripod, Cersei, at ease. She loved them and literally ran in the house without me which never happens with strangers. Joey sent tons of pictures and did an excellent job catering to my fur babies needs. 10 out of 10 highly recommend! ☺️”
“One of The best sitters I’ve found on rover. His place is clean, the dogs are well taken care of and he keeps them happy and safe. Will book again anytime we need a sitter in NY”
“My wife and I are so thankful to have found David and Marcy! They were very hospitable, kind, and professional. I would recommend them to anyone and everyone. They treated Moose like their own!”
“Kristin is absolutely fantastic. She was quick with her reply, extremely communicative throughout my dog’s stay and most importantly my dog came back very happy. I would highly recommend Kristin and plan on using her again.”
“This is our second time having Bowie stay with Dan for daycare. As usual, she was amazing and sent many photo updates. We will continue coming back to Dan for future dog stays.”
“Brandon and Ruth-Ann did awesome! Just to give background I’m shipping my dogs overseas and me and my family had to leave before the dogs. They went above and beyond and made sure they got to their flight in time with everything they needed. They were very friendly and flexible 10/10!”
“Amy and her family were absolutely incredible. My skittish mid-size terrier mix, Sammy, was very comfortable and truly well cared for. Amy and family took time to understand him, give him space to warm up, respect his feelings, and treat him like their own. We met in advance in a park for a long walk and for a home visit, all to prepare Sam and all of us. Amy provided us with daily updates and pictures. We feel so fortunate to have connected with Amy and family. We already discussed next time 😊 Love, love, love Amy, HP, and the boys. Don’t hesitate if you need a loving home for your fur baby ❤️”
“Agnes was so great for our pup. He usually has separation and anxiety issues but was calm and happy when we picked him up. She let us know how he was doing throughout his stay and sent over pictures. Will definitely be booking with her again. Thanks for a great Rover experience!”
“This was the first time being away from our dog and Nicole did a great job at making him and my family feel at ease! She regularly kept me updated with messages and pictures and took very good care of him. Will definitely use her again!”

This is the 3rd time JJ is staying with Aritra who is as caring and loving as always. He sent photos and videos everyday and let us know when JJ wasn’t eating and we figured out a plan right away. JJ met new friends and this was the first time she interacted and played with another dog. This was when I could tell that JJ was happy and feeling very comfortable with Aritra. We look forward to JJ’s next vacation😁
Aviel was amazing with our large, leash reactive dog. We left her for 11 nights and knew she was in great hands the whole time. He took excellent care of her and she warmed up to him right away. He sent lots of pics/video updates throughout. We would highly recommend Aviel to anyone! His neighborhood is also very calm and quiet, which is great for a reactive dog like mine :)
My dog who has fear aggression went to Lynn for a half day yesterday. Lynn suggested this so she could see how Oakley would be with her for a few hours. Thankfully all went well, I am very happy for Lynn’s caution and willing to go slowly so that everyone is comfortable and confident that we can set Oakley up for a positive boarding experience. She seems very open to listening to what Oakley’s preferences and behaviors are like.
Great overnight stay and provided lots of updates, good communication and photos! Will definitely rebook again. Both my pups came back super excited and happy about their stay and received lots of love, attention and pets while their stay with Wendy! Thanks again!!
Jacind was great with Milo! I needed someone to keep him overnight while I was busy with my daughter’s Sweet Sixteen, and she made everything so easy for me. She was very communicative, sent me pictures and updates throughout the night, and Milo seemed to warm up to her really quickly. I also really appreciated that she was able to pick Milo up from the venue and drop him back off the next morning. With everything I had going on that weekend, that was a huge help. I felt comfortable knowing Milo was in good hands, and I would definitely book with Jacind again!
Laura was very good with my boy, it was our first time being away from him for a few days and we were very nervous but Laura assured me that my boy was in good hands and indeed he was. I even ask to extend my baby stay for one more day and she was willing to accommodate as well. Will definitely book in the future!
Our dog Sadie is a bit unpredictable in her old age, but Elle never missed a beat. Elle stayed in close contact with us about how Sadie was doing and followed our instructions. She was consistently positive and patient, which really stood out, even when Sadie was a bit more work than we expected. Sadie came home happy and her usual self, which we really appreciated. We would absolutely recommend Elle for boarding and dogsitting.
Abbie was fantastic watching our dog Mongchi overnight! She sent regular videos and pictures throughout the stay, so we always felt in the loop and could tell Mongchi was happy and comfortable in her care. He even got to play with her dog Peachy, and it was so sweet seeing them become friends — Mongchi had a blast! Drop-off and pick-up were both easy and stress-free. Abbie is communicative, caring, and it's obvious she genuinely loves the dogs she watches. We felt completely at ease leaving Mongchi with her. We'll definitely be booking with Abbie again!
This was my first time using a dog sitter and Erica was absolutely amazing with Lady. She updated me regularly and took very good care of Lady. She understands and caters to the needs of the puppies very well and also us! lady had a great time and will definitely recommend Erica in the future.
We are so lucky to have found Joey! From the moment we dropped off Lulu we knew we found a loving spot. Our dog is quite energetic and they only showed kindness and patience. The pictures sent daily showed Lulu so happy and comfortable. We will be using Joey as often as we can!
Amy was such an amazing caretaker for Apollo! We needed someone to watch him during a long trip, and since he had never stayed with her before, she generously offered not one, but two meet-and-greets. The first was to meet us and Apollo, and the second allowed him to get comfortable in her home before his stay. From the very beginning, Amy was incredibly sweet, kind, and welcoming. Her family was just as excited to have Apollo and made him feel right at home. She took the time to listen to all of our instructions and learn about Apollo’s preferences, and she truly embraced having him as part of her family while we were away. Throughout his stay, she kept me updated with pictures and messages about how he was eating, sleeping, adjusting, and whether he seemed anxious. Her communication was excellent, and she was always so accommodating and thoughtful. Apollo was happy, comfortable, and clearly well cared for, which gave me so much peace of mind while traveling. I trusted Amy completely and would absolutely have Apollo stay with her again. I highly recommend her to anyone looking for a loving, reliable, and communicative sitter!

Every sitter on Rover has their own rhythm and routine, but most will follow the flow that keeps your dog happiest. Sitters can give meals on your dog's regular schedule, provide a comfortable place for sleep, and plenty of one-on-one attention.
95% of Oakland Gardens sitters also include daily walks in the neighborhood during dog boarding stays. You can also request photo and message updates throughout the stay so you can see which Oakland Gardens landmarks or neighborhoods your dog is enjoying.
If your dog is a little shy, consider booking a one-night trial stay! This practice run can boost your and your dog’s confidence before your trip.
Preparing for drop-off is easy when you have a checklist! To help your dog settle into their Oakland Gardens 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 Oakland Gardens.
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 Oakland Gardens 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.
