“Left my dog, J-Jack, with Bob during the day while skiing; and I believe both J-Jack and I had a great experience. Bob was easy to communicate with, serious about his services - required me to fill out a form with all pertinent information about care for my dog. I felt very comfortable and at ease leaving J-Jack with him.”

“Samantha and her partner Zachary took fabulous care of our two dogs for three days. They are both high energy young dogs, one 7 months and one 13 months old and we were worried that they were going to be a problem. They love each other, romping like crazy with each other indoors and out and Samantha and Zach had no problem dealing with them. When we went to pick them up, it was obvious that both dogs really liked their caregivers. What more can one hope for in someone taking care of their dogs? We will be using them again when we are back in the Albany area. Thank you, Samantha and Zachary! Clifford and Ann Wagner”

“We left our pitbull Lolly with Jessica for a 9 day trip. Jessica was fabulous to deal with from beginning to end! She responded promptly to our initial inquiry and took time at the Meet & Greet to show us all areas of the house and to find out as much about Lolly and her typical routine. She was easy to coordinate drop off and pick up times with. We got a daily photo and oftentimes, comments about what they were doing together and how Lolly was reacting. They appear to have gotten along well and Lolly came home in great shape! This was our first experience with Rover and it went well. I recommend Jessica for dog sitting!”

“This lady and her husband are the best kept secret of Rover! My dog has typically refused to eat for the first day or two of boarding, but with Sue, she ate the first night, her tail was high and wagging! She was a happy little camper. I would recommend Sue, without any reservations. She truly cares for her boarded dogs- they do know who loves them. She will always be our first choice!!”


“Anthony and Jane were fantastic. Great communicators, really nice setup on their property with tons of space and a fenced yard. My dog got along well with theirs. Will definitely book again.”

“Sheronda was great! Communicated often with us, sent us lots of great photos of our dog, and did a great job socializing him with the other dogs (making him comfortable). She has a great back yard (fenced in), with lots of great areas to walk dogs. Overall we are super pleased, will be booking with them again!”

“Natthinee was great and took amazing care of our pup! They sent lots of pictures and our pup had an amazing time running and playing with their dog. Would book again!”


“My nala girl had the BEST time! Lauren provided pictures daily and updated me everyday about her. When I picked her up she was happy, tired, and clearly had a lot of fun playing on Lauren’s ranch. I had a bit of a flight delay and Lauren was super understanding of my being a little late to pick her up so that’s also a huge plus for me. I will certainly be booking my nala girls ‘vacations’ with Lauren again!”

“Very responsive. Provided updates and pictures. Theo enjoyed his time and received a ton of attention from Chris and Jia. When we're out of town again we will be reaching out.”

“Catherine and her family were amazing. She responded to my request almost immediately after I posted for an overnight boarding need for the same day. This was Emma’s first time spending the night with a non-relative and did experience separation anxiety. Catherine was very patient with her and tried different ways to make her feel more comfortable. She took her for a long walk and refocused her energy using a kong filled with treats I provided. She made me aware of her anxiety after she was calm and sent me pictures to assure me she was okay. She also told me not to worry. Emma also had a hard time at bed time but eventually fell asleep on the couch. Emma did better the next day as she was feeling loved!”

“Great first Rover experience. Anna was super communicative, very friendly, and my two Golden Retrievers were happy as can be at drop off and pick up! She sent daily updates and answered every question I had immediately. She even sent them home with goodie bags and report cards :) Thanks, Anna!”


“Diana was very accommodating scheduling a meet and greet, and adjusting to our later-than-planned arrival due to bad weather. Journey was well taken care of and Diana kept us updated on his status. We are comfortable using Diana again.”

“Amy was incredible. She sent me updates, was kind, flexible, and treated my puppy very well. Her home is in a safe neighborhood and has a great setup for pets. I have nothing but wonderful things to say about Amy and her care.”

About: My specialty is caring for small dogs. I've been a three-time pug owner and trusted by friends and family with their pets for over 20 years. I provide reliable, compassionate care as if they were my own pet. I work as consultant from home and routinely offer pet care Fridays-Sundays, but try to be flexible. Pets can make themselves at home but I will be sure to cater to your rules and pets' routine. I also have experience caring for senior dogs and can administer medication. While not advertised on Rover, I can care for docile cats. Photos and video updates of your fur babies will be sent daily. I provide a safe environment in my uncluttered and spacious apartment - ideal for doggie beds, crates and toys. I make sure dogs cannot get into cabinets, garbage or near electrical outlets. I make sure water bowls are filled at all times. I live directly across the street from a beautiful city park popular with dog owners and ideal for walks.

“I highly recommend boarding with Maggie. I have relied on her for dog boarding for several years, since my dog was a puppy. He is prone to stress induced tummy troubles from my longer trips away, but Maggie always takes extra care to ensure he’s happy, comfortable, and cared for—and consequently he’s had no issues from boarding for quite some time. I trust and recommend her care, and my dog is always excited to see her at drop off (which I take as a strong indicator of his comfort level there). I’ve also had spontaneous adjustments to travel plans occur (e.g. cancelled return flights), and Maggie has been flexible in adjusting accommodations as needed and overall has been a great help in reducing the stress that comes with those scenarios.”


“Cong was very sweet, she had three other dogs that were very happy when we arrived with Becky. Her yard is perfect for the dogs to run around in a fenced area. Her neighborhood was super quiet, and the road dead ended at her house, which I thought was great for Becky to have a calm area to be in while we were away. She sent us a photos throughout the day. All in all it was a perfect spot for our beloved pooch.”

Frequently asked questions about Rover
Rover is the largest marketplace for local pet care. Whether you're looking for pet sitters, dog walkers, or house sitters who specialize in pet sitting, you can narrow your search by entering your ZIP code to find sitters within walking distance in your neighborhood.
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.
Depending on the sitter, their home environment, and your dog’s needs, daily exercise 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 Rensselaerville 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 Rensselaerville.
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 Rensselaerville 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.
