“Mildred was a wonderful sitter to work with. Great communication and prompt responses. My boy had a blast in the beautiful big fenced in yard. I definitely would book again in the future”
“Amruta is the BEST! She watched our dog Skip for almost 3 weeks while we were on vacation and during that time she sent daily pics, videos and updates. She is a dream dog sitter: Caring, smart, trustworthy, and responsible. Pretty sure Skip misses her :) We will definitely book again!”
“Our dog had an amazing stay with Jeff! We are always nervous leaving her with someone new, but Jeff is so responsive and great about sending photos and updates. She had a lot of fun and we were able to relax and enjoy the wedding we were attending in the area. Highly recommend!!”
“Donna was great. She treated my dog like he was her own. I felt extremely confident that Guinness was being very well taken care of. Guinness came home very happy but tired from all the fun he had playing with Donna's dogs. I will definitely use Donna and her services again. I'm very happy. I found her thank you so much.”
“This was the first time boarding Roman with someone he didn’t know so I was a bit nervous at first. However, Volha was very understanding, professional, and attentive to me and my pup! Highly recommend!!”
“I had a pleasant experience with Gabriel and I believe my dog did too! She seemed to be content and relaxed, so much that she found a bed of her liking. It also makes it more fun when there are friends to play with, who were friendly and chill once all the excitement wore off. I would definitely have my dog stay at Gabriel’s home again! I felt comfortable and reassured as he sent me updates on any mischief she was getting into and influencing his dogs to do. He was also accommodating, as I picked her up very late. Would recommend to doggies that enjoys others’ company!”
“Nayeli was great! Excellent communications and expectations. We did a meet and greet to make sure Rosie and her pups got along. She was attentive to Rosie's needs and personality quirks, and sent lovely updates that were very reassuring. Will definitely book again!”
“Thalya did great with my pup Apollo! She took him out for long walks to get his energy out and sent frequent updates and pictures letting me know how things were going. Highly recommended! I felt at ease knowing my pup was in good hands.”
“Maria (and family) were lifesavers and saved our trip by having availability last minute when another sitter canceled on us. Our dogs looked so happy and loved while we were gone. Definetly recommend and look forward to using her again!”
“Our little guy, Wrigley, had an absolutely wonderful stay with Judy and Steven! I wholeheartedly recommend them to anyone looking for a warm, welcoming environment for their pup. As a beagle, Wrigley usually hates being left behind—but I felt completely at ease knowing he was in such caring hands. He got the royal treatment with pup cups, plenty of love and attention, and he even made a new friend in their sweet dog, Ginger. Thank you, Judy and Steven, for making Wrigley feel so at home and for giving me such peace of mind!”
“Cory and her family had my families 8 month old puppy Athena for 10 days while we were in Orlando. Athena is a member of our family and it was very nerve wracking for us to leave her with someone for so long. Upon dropping athena off our tensions were put to rest. Corys daughter who is close in age to my oldest immediately began playing with Athena the same way my daughter does and it was evident her and her family were used to have dogs around. Throughout the vacation Cory txted me and sent photos and videos to me updating us on how the stay was going. She even told me she felt badly Athena had ripped apart one of her toys which i told her she does with every toy and not to worry about it. Cory also charges a great rate, which is considerably less than what most people charge. Another thing that i really appreciated was how flexible she was. I have a baby less then a year old, and an older child so timing is not a strong point of mine, and she assured me both when j dropped Athena off and when i picked her up that the timing wasnt an issue...She actually watched Athena for an extra 8 hours and told me not to worry about anything extra. My family and I are greatful for how Cory and her family treated our puppy, and hopefully i will never have to board her with anyone else. They treated Athena like she was their own family pet and there is no greater feeling then knowing your pets needs are being met and then some. If u are thinking about using Cory to board your pup then you need not search anymore, book with her immediately! Thank you Cory Oh and when i arrived home i found a beautiful note and 2 new dog toys that she bought to replace the one Athena chewed up during her stay! My daughter and my kids mother really enjoyed reading the note and it made them both smile knowing how well athena was treated. 5 star review all day! Looking forward to our next vacation and boarding with you again!”
“I recently had Cherissa watch over my mini Goldendoodle, Sofia, and I couldn’t be happier with the experience. From the very first interaction, she was professional, kind, and clearly passionate about animals. Cherissa and her family took the time to get to know Sofia’s routine, preferences, and any special needs, which made me feel totally at ease. While I was away, she provided regular updates—including photos and messages—which really reassured me that my pet was happy and well cared for. I highly recommend Cherissa and her family to anyone looking for reliable and compassionate pet care. I’ll definitely be booking with them again in the future!”
“Cristian went above and beyond to make sure i felt 100% comfortable while i was boarding my pit mix Nala for 11 days for the first time. Nala even sadly got a pretty severe UTI during her stay and Cristian was so on top of it with photos, concern, and ended up even taking her to the vet for me and getting the care she needed. Even with a 6hr time change he managed to keep up with great communication and updates throughout the stay. I truly couldn’t be happier with my experience. He will definitely be my top choice in the future - no question. Thank you endlessly Cristian!”
“Lola seemed happy and comfortable when I dropped off and picked her up from Angel. She has a great space for dogs and I appreciated that she took all my crazy dog mom requests into account. Would highly recommend her!”
“Our dog stayed with Mario and his family for 3 nights and it was perfect! They were so good with him. He was sending us pictures and updates. Our dog was very happy and had a great time. Highly recommend!”
“Brittany was wonderful with Cody. He is not used to be separated from us so we knew that he would be a challenge. I am happy with the treatment that Cody received and if the occasion occurs we will book with Brittany again.”
“Cici was wonderful with Ruby! I had another rover fall through and Cici worker with me to find a solution. We were able to have a very slow and steady meet and greet. It gave Ruby a ton of confidence for the stay. All the updates about how my pup was fitting in with her family were great. She handled the pup well. Would highly recommend”

Dog parents share their Rover experiences - Poughkeepsie
Thalya was amazing looking after our 7 months old puppy for 12 days. He clearly had fun at her house, which we could see from the many pictures and videos she sent with her regular updates. She even showered him before bringing him home to us. He seems much calmer and relaxed and I think the time with her and her dogs was a great experience for him. We are already planning his next stay with her. Definitely recommend her!
Judy and Steven took great care of Sandy for us. They sent multiple pics and vids of her playing and having a grand 'ol time there. It really helps put your mind at ease and we were very grateful to get those while we were away. They were a pleasure to deal with. They are both great communicators up to and during Sandy's stay with them. That will definitely be our go to folks when we need a place for Sandy to stay. Thank you very much much, Judy and Steven and Ginger!

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.
97% of sitters in Poughkeepsie 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 Poughkeepsie 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 Poughkeepsie.
<b>Tip:</b> 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 Poughkeepsie 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.
