“Roxana did a very good job with our dog. We left him there for only one night but even in that short time we could see she and her family were very caring and responsive to the dog's needs. She followed our instructions regarding the needs of our dog and sent a lot of pictures. We would definitely use her again.”
About: Hi! I have over 9 years of experience with dog walking and boarding, and I truly love what I do. I focus on making sure every pup feels safe, comfortable, and happy while in my care—whether it’s during a walk or an overnight stay. I treat every pet like family because I believe they deserve the best care and attention. I always keep pet parents updated with messages, photos, and honest communication so you can feel at ease while you’re away. I’m experienced with maintaining training routines, handling high-energy dogs, and providing gentle care for senior pets. I understand that every dog has their own personality, and I take the time to get to know what makes them feel their best. Your pet’s happiness, safety, and well-being will always be my top priority! I do have a part-time job so I will be working during the mornings. I will always make sure your babies are taken out for good walk and eat before I leave. During that time my family (husband/mom) are home and will be able to help on bathroom schedules and playtime. Your babies will never be alone and my mother is a licensed dog trainer and caretaker in rover as well. I respect all homes and follow rules that have been set by you as the pet parent. I give two photos; one in beginning and another in the end with a video .
“My pug Charlie had another wonderful time with Abbie and Peachy. Charlie feels really safe with Abbie even though she is a little anxious and Peachy is a great friend that helps Charlie to stay active and socialized especially in this cold weather. Outstanding hosts!”
“We picked up our large malamute Junie and she was the calmest we had seen her, clearly very happy. Communication with Anton was very easy and he sent several pictures throughout the stay. Will book again!”
“Tokyo’s stay was amazing! He was cared for with so much love, and he really enjoyed spending time with Margarita & Cristian. I highly recommend their services. Thank you for everything — we’ll see you again soon!”
“I can’t say enough good things about Grace! I left my cat Aria with her for 5 weeks, and she took absolutely wonderful care of her. Aria usually gets stressed in unfamiliar places like the vet or groomer, so I was especially nervous about how she would react to other cats and a new environment. Grace handled everything perfectly. She started Aria off in her own room so she could feel safe, and then slowly introduced her to the rest of the house and to Grace’s cat. Within just a few days, Aria was roaming around comfortably and even socializing! Grace sent me frequent updates and photos, and I was amazed at how relaxed and happy Aria looked. It gave me so much peace of mind knowing she wasn’t stuck in a cage (like the “cat resort” I thought was our only option before I found Grace), but instead had the freedom to explore, play, and feel at home. I’m beyond grateful to have found Grace. She’s thoughtful, patient, and truly understands cats. I’ll definitely be using her for all future boarding needs—we won’t go anywhere else! Highly recommend!”
“We had great communication with Shirley throughout the entire process. We did a meet and greet before the stay, and she asked thoughtful questions beforehand to really get to know our dog. During the stay, she shared lots of photos and videos, which we truly appreciated. She was also very flexible and accommodating when we had to change our plans due to the snowstorm. Highly recommend!”
“Dana LOVES my dog and I love that. She is super attentive, responsive and gives me updates by sending lots of pictures. It’s great to have someone I trust to take care of my dog while I travel.”
“Nari and Ryan were such amazing and loving caretakers. They clearly have found their calling as they sent pictures daily, walked my dog regularly and anticipated both pets needs. I give them an A++ . Dont hesitate to book with them. What a loving and smazing family.”
“Emily and Alan were phenomenal!! Prior to Hotch’s stay, we didn’t have the best experience with former sitters. Emily definitely was great at communicating during our trip. She provided consistent updates and photos, which gave us much ease. They are very pleasant and Hotch loved their family! He came back very happy. I truly believe he was in great hands. We’ll definitely be using Emily and Alan for future trips.”
“Michele was absolutely amazing with my dog! From the start, she was communicative, attentive, and genuinely caring. She kept me updated the entire time with messages and photos, which gave me so much peace of mind while I was away. Her kids were completely in love with Arepa, and it was clear he felt comfortable, happy, and so well cared for. Michele truly treated him like her own. I would 100% trust her again and highly recommend her to anyone looking for a reliable and loving sitter. Thank you so much, Michele!”
“Ilona was fantastic. Leila was so tired from all the fun she had. Ilona sent lots of pictures and it was clear from all of them how well she took care of our dog.”
“I had to travel for Holidays, Dec 27-31 and used Renald for Dog Boarding my dog, Gabby. Renald was great with my dog Gabby. He was very attentive giving me updates on my dog which put me at ease being away from Gabby. On day I went to pick Gabby up, she was so comfortable she didnt seem eager to leave.”
“Denis and his wife were fantastic with our cat. There are clearly cat people - and we felt great knowing Dean Martin was staying with such kind people....”
“John understood the assignment! Charlie is a rescue and can be anxious in new environments, but John ensured he was familiar with his new surroundings and made him feel completely comfortable. He was patient with Charlie and did a great job of keeping me updated throughout the stay. Highly recommended!”
“So very happy my dog was able to stay with Amy and her family. We had multiple updates throughout the day with many pictures. We felt confident our dog was in safe and loving hands. Would definitely use her services again in the future.”
“Vanessa took great care of our Dexter while on vacation. We got lots of updates and reassurance that he was doing well and having fun. She accommodated an early drop off and we trusted her fully!! Love Vanessa and Dangles!”

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.
Wendy is the best dog sitter. She takes care of our dog, Bobo, in heart. She walks Bobo everyday, buying dog treats and make sure Bobo is nutrition-balanced. She sent many pictures and videos to us, making sure we are well connected with Bobo. I highly recommend Wendy.
I had an extremely pleasant and satisfactory experience with Aritra, he is extremely meticulous and caring when it comes to his pet guests and their safety, health and happiness. I received daily videos, photos, updates and he answered all my questions. I will book him for all future pet stay needs!
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!
Mehnaz was my blessing 🙌, text her with very short notice and bam , I went from a very stressful situation to being blessed by a sitter that was able to give me the peace of mind and give my dog not only love but the attention to detail was something I wasn't giving my own dog, she not only took care of him but I also learned what real kindness is, ....THANK YOU MEHNAZ 🙏
Ilona was wonderful with Princess. Princess had a seizure which she hasn’t had in months and Ilona was so warm, caring and comforting to Princess. It really put my family and I at ease since we were not there. Ilona provided frequent updates and made Princess’s stay a very comfortable one. We highly recommend Ilona! Thank you so much for taking great care of Princess, Ilona!!!
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!
Jancid was amazing!! I strongly recommend her services. She is very genuine, and very caring when it came to welcoming my pup in her home. She went above and beyond, and took great care of my dog. She is communicative, and sent pictures and videos of him throughout the boarding experience.

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.
