About: I’ve grown up always surrounded by many pets and have loved taking care of them, as I got older I’ve gotten more experience properly taking care of different kinds of pets. I also have experience walking dogs in shelters and have experience with senior pets as well! I work full time during the week but am available any day during the weekends and in the afternoons after 4PM during the week as well! I have a large yard and safe, walkable neighborhood as well as 2 friendly dogs. I would always be respectful of others’ homes and their pets needs and boundaries!
“Desi loves Rosemarie. It's always hard to leave my dog but I know she's in good hands and feels at home with Rosemarie. Desi has stayed with Rosemarie three times since last summer and will soon be back for a fourth.”
“Nicole was absolutely amazing!!! She was so responsive, sent lots of pics and I’ve never seen my dog so happy in someone else’s home! 10/10 experience!!! Thank you Nicole for taking such perfect care of Misha!!!”
“Annie was great with my pup, Athena. She was available on short notice and talked me through her process. Athena came home happy, tired and satisfied. I would not hesitate to book again. Thank you!!”
About: I have spent my entire life surrounded by animals of all kind and have always had the love and drive to ensure they have the best life and experiences possible. This love and compassion has led me to volunteering at the SPCA for a number of months, which turned into working there for over 4 years as both an animal care attendant and as a veterinary assistant. In my time there, I have been given the most incredible opportunity to both care for and rehouse hundreds of animals and have even acquired a couple of cats along the way. I am currently in the process of opening my own dog daycare to provide a very loving, caring environment for the dogs to spend their day while their pet parents are away.
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!
“Nicole is absolutely amazing! Our boys loved her. They were treated like little princes. She has a wonderful space dedicated for pups with lots of room to run, play and relax. Kept us updated on how they were faring and sent awesome pictures. Basically it was a vacation for the boys. She’ll definitely be our go to choice for taking care of our guys!”

Pet parents share their Rover experiences - Poughkeepsie
Ann Marie and her family were wonderful with our Doodle Mila. They took excellent care of her and they kept us well informed during her stay through pictures and messages. We are very satisfied with her services and we will definitely bring Mila back to stay with them. Thank you very much for taking care of her!
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.

On Rover, sitters set their own rates based on factors such as their experience, the length of care, the number of pets, and your pet’s specific needs.

There are 498 sitters on Rover for Pet Boarding in Poughkeepsie. About 89% of Poughkeepsie sitters can respond to requests in under 60 minutes. Whether you’re planning ahead for holidays, need last-minute care, or need same-day coverage for an urgent trip, you can message multiple sitters at once to find available care.
Once you find the right match, you can arrange a Meet & Greet to ensure they are a perfect fit for your pet’s personality before confirming.
If you would like updates while you’re away, you can discuss with your sitter how many or how frequent you’d like those updates to be. The Rover app allows sitters to send photos, videos, and messages about your pet, including how many pee or poop breaks occurred. You can message your sitter at any time through the app and our support team is available 24/7 by email or chat if you have concerns.
The personalized, in-home nature of pet care through Rover can mean more individual attention for your pet.
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.
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 Meet & Greet.
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. Cats may be required to have Feline Viral Rhinotracheitis and Rabies up to date.
By discussing your pet's health history early, you’re adding a layer of confidence for you and your sitter before the booking begins.
Emergency support is available by phone or email in English 24/7. When an incident occurs, we recommend that sitters contact our Trust & Safety team immediately so that they can connect your sitter with a board-certified veterinarian or offer other resources to help.
If a sitter needs to cancel at the last minute, Rover’s reservation protection means our team will work with you to find a suitable replacement as quickly as possible.
