“Jessie took such great care of my dog at her house and was such a great communicator. It was so nice to not have to be worried while I was away and I am so happy I found her! 10/10 recommend”

“Wanda always takes great care of our dog Ollie! She is very communicative and has a wonderful property that has a lot of space for dogs. We would recommend her services to others without hesitation.”

“Erika was the best. I am so happy I found her. i have been looking for a new dog sitter close to where I live to make it easier. Max seemed to fit right in and did well. He looked happy and content. There were a few other dogs there, but they seem to all have gotten along quite well. Very pleased and highly recommend her. I will be using Erika again in the near future.”


About: I’ve been raised all my life with animals, and I’ve loved everyone of them , I have been trusted in watching friends, families pets for about 7 years now , I’m not a professional in training animals but I do my best, but just know you’re fur babies are in good hands and I’ll give them so much love and belly rubs or pets I’m currently working full-time in the mornings , but on my days off and afternoons I’m always with my dog fluffy , she’s a shih-poo but she is always with me 24/7 follows me around like a shadow but I adore her , on my work days my family watches her Whenever I’m entrusted with friends or family’s animals, I make sure all my gates are closed and I’m always watching their pets carefully because they are putting their trust in me and I want to show them I’m great at doing so , I love cuddling up with them and playing ball and giving them so much love that next time they see me they get so happy
“Overall the greatest dog sitter at first I was scared to leave my babies with a stranger but she welcomed my dogs in with open arms she gave me picture updates i will continue to use her in the future”

“I had a last minute request and Jomini responded almost immediately and saved the day. She asked questions to make sure my dog had the proper precautions to be outdoors at her place and checked with me about any specific schedule before drop off. She was super responsive and flexible with timing for drop off / pick up. She sent so many pictures of my dog and I could see he was having a great time!”


About: I'm willing and ready to provide walks for as long as your dog wants (or as long as you specify is okay). I am extremely patient and try to stay aware and vigilant of dog needs. I've volunteered walking dogs for a nonprofit called Paws in NY. I have experience walking large breeds, small breeds, those who protest, those who lead the way, those who go wherever, etc, and I love hanging out with them all. I'm also experienced in taking care of cats, I've had/have two. I really love animals, and also realize they can't really outwardly speak to us so, I try to read signs they give me as well as possible so, they can be happy, and I believe I'm usually successful.

“Highly recommended!! Lauren took great care of my pup while I was away for the weekend. She sent me pictures and regular updates throughout the day to keep my mind at ease. I will definitely use her again!”

About: Hi, I’m Breyalyn! Professional bellyrub giver, treat dispenser (with permission, of course), and full-time dog lover. As a proud dog mom to my spoiled girl Suzie, I know that dogs aren’t “just pets”, they’re family. Whether your pup loves his zoomies, is a professional squirrel investigator, or a couch potato who wants to nap, I’m happy to match their vibe. We’ll go on exciting walks, play their favorite games, and make sure they get all the love and attention they deserve. When your dog is with me, you can expect: 🐾 Tail-wagging walks and adventures 🎾 Playtime until someone needs a nap (probably me) 💛 Endless love, cuddles, and attention 📸 Plenty of photo updates because I know you’re going to miss them 🏡 Care that’s personalized to your dog’s routine and personality My goal is simple: make your dog feel like they’re on their own little vacation while giving you total peace of mind. So if your pup is looking for a new human friend who will love them almost as much as you do, I’d love to meet you both. Just don’t be surprised if they drag you back to my door next time.. they tend to make themselves at home! 😊😂 I work from home, so I am home ALL day. I love to exercise and we have a fenced in yard for all of the playtime needed (a larger yard for a leashed walk). I’m always open to going for additional longer walks elsewhere Your pet’s safety is always going to be my priority. They will have a separate apartment area of the house (that I spend all of my time in). They will also have a fenced in yard. Food and water (treats if allowed) will be provided all day. My doggie will be kept separate unless otherwise agreed upon!
“We are thankful for Lucienne and her calm, loving care. My dog came back happy after an 8 day visit and it's so nice to have assurance that your pet is in good hands. Lucienne is patient, understanding of needs, and we are thankful to have found her.”

“I would highly recommend Nicole to anyone looking for dog day care or boarding She communicates well and goes the extra mile to make your pet feel comfortable and happy Not only did Buddy have a Christmas themed neck scarf but also a Christmas toy! She clearly loves dogs and is proficient and skilled in all aspects of their care We had total peace of mind while we were away and she sent us some beautiful pictures of Buddy!”

“Andrea is a beautiful, intelligent and compassionate professional. She cares about the animals she looks after while 'pet parents' are away. She reduces anxieties naturally by listening carefully and observing astutely. Hygge had never been away or 'boarded' for pet sitting prior to my experience with Andrea. At all times she was communicative, caring and purposeful in her interactions with Hygge, who probably worried about being in a new home away from home for a few days on many levels. My transportation plans were delayed due to a severe storm that prevented my scheduled pick up, and Andrea was patient, reasonable and loving during my own stress about being stuck in NYC beyond my control for the pick up of my dog after traveling for a few days. She worked with me every step of the way, and the boarding experience was a total success even with transportation issues. Hygge returned home happy, healthy, well-nourished and satisfied with renewed confidence in his ability to work with another lovely family in our sweet community in a spirit of trust and sucess. All in all, I would recommend Andrea to work with anyone who has pets they love and want to broaden the scope of their pet's world by allowing Andrea to work with them and care for them. Andrea also understands the complexities of rescue animals, and will work with you so all are informed and kept in safe environments that nourish everyone's positive potential. She is also very pleasant and loving. She is a talented professional and a local treasure to all who come in contact with her.”

About: Hello, I'm Brooklyn! I have been working with animals for about 15 years in some capacity. I have run my own dog walking and pet sitting business for 10 years, fostered many animals, worked as the foster coordinator for my local shelter and have organized and hosted several fundraising events. Now that I have the space I am expanding into dog and cat boarding in my home. In order to give your pets the care they deserve I will only be booking one family at a time. I can't wait to meet you and your Furry Friends! I am home full time. I am available 7 days a week and most holidays with booking in advance for dog boarding. Contact for questions! Cats and dogs boarded in a separate area of my home for safety. I also have a fully fenced large backyard for safety and play time!
“Alexis was wonderful! This was my first time having Cooper boarded at someone’s house and she made him so welcomed and like one of her family. She sent photos and videos of him daily, he seemed to be having a great time each day. 100% will be using Alexis again and would recommend!”

“Nicole was fabulous with our puppy, Boo. From our initial "meet and greet" through the 10-hour day Boo spent with her, Nicole was thoughtful, warm, and wonderfully sensitive to his needs, which given just how "puppy" Boo is, takes a lot of experience and doggie understanding. Her set-up, both indoors and out, is terrific...and so safe. And she sent us pics throughout the day. She even made some VERY helpful training suggestions. It was Boo's first time away from home and he clearly had a great day...and so did we, knowing the kind of care he was getting.”

Pet parents share their Rover experiences - Poughkeepsie
Our somewhat anxious dog Millie had an absolutely wonderful time staying with Judy, Steven and Ginger. It was her first time away from us and she had a great experience. Getting photos and videos was very reassuring and it was clear she settled right in. We will definitely have them look after her again in the future!
Thalya and her husband always go above and beyond for my cavapoos. Taking care of everything our pups need and our needs as pet owners as well. I know I can rely on them 100%. They send detailed updates with pictures and give the pups so much attention which our dogs demand sometimes. Really appreciate Thalya and would highly recommend.

A Meet & Greet is a casual meeting to vet potential sitters and communicate care needs for peace of mind before a booking begins. Only sitters who have never booked with you before can schedule a Meet & Greet on Rover; however, you are welcome to coordinate one in Rover messages with sitters you have previously booked. This can be helpful if you have a new pet or routine you want to go over with your sitter.
Meet & Greets can take place in person or virtually. If you are booking with a sitter for the first time, we recommend in-person Meet & Greets to get a clearer sense of how your sitter interacts with your pet 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. Meet & Greets are a great way to prepare your pet and sitter for longer stays or first-time bookings. Read our tips for your first .
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.

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.
