“Gabe and Annie took amazing care of our dog Apollo! My fiancé and I were in the Catskills for the weekend, but didn't want to board our dog in NYC. Apollo had a great time and got along great with Gabe's dogs. If we're in the area again and need a pet sitter, I'm definitely reaching out to Gabe!”
“I had a great experience with Maria. It’s evident that she and her family truly love animals based on how well they cared for my cat, Pumpkin. Maria also responds quickly and happily sent photos showing Pumpkin as happy and healthy, which I really appreciate. 10/10 I will be booking again! Thanks Maria!”

“Thayla was an outstanding dog sitter! She kept me updated regularly about Khloe, and was always quick to respond to messages, which gave me great peace of mind. Khloe warmed up to her immediately, and I could see how much Thayla genuinely cares for animals. She made sure to stick to Khloe’s routine. I couldn’t have asked for a better sitter and will definitely book her again!”
“Kenniqua (Kiki) took amazing care of our Gypsy during a recent short vacation. One can tell right away how much Kiki loves dogs, having a beautiful and mild-mannered hound herself! We felt perfectly comfortable leaving our girl in Kiki’s care and will seek out her services again in the future.”
“Rebecca was amazing!! This was my first time leaving my baby with someone & she definitely put my nerves at ease! She also accepted the booking very last minute. She sent so many photos & updates too, will definitely book with her again! Thank you!! ❤️”
“Denis wa a godsend. I was diagnosed with cancer and needed to be in city for over 3 weeks my husband wanted to stay with me. So on short notice he was able to fill in the days that friends and family could not and stayed flexiable to add additional days for me. Bella had fun and made a new friend with his dog. We will.use him again.”
“Lyanne and her husband were amazing with our furry baby while we were away! We received regular updates with cute photos and videos of our Bentley! Bentley appears happy and his regular goofball self! I will definitely use them again and will recommend to anyone seeking a sitter for their furry family member! Thank you so very much for taking care of our Bentley!”
“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!”
“I love leaving Willow with Cristian and his family. My fur baby always comes home happy. He keeps us updated and sends lots of fun pictures to keep us connected while we are away. Definitely recommend!”
“Rosalie was amazing! She treated Belle like a little princess. She gave wonderful walks which Belle loved. Rosalie was very attentive. She sent lots of pictures and was an excellent communicator. We will definitely use her again!”
“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.”
“Bambou had the best time playing in the garden with her doggie friends, and snuggling up and watching tv in the evenings! We loved getting the daily photos of her enjoying her holiday with Jane! :) xxx”
About: I’ve always had pets throughout my lifetime from kitties, dogs, birds, fish, reptiles, squirrels that I hand fed and set free with my father- and many more. I worked in pet stores and help foster kittens when available. 💕 Look forward to meeting you soon. I work part time as a territory supervisor, and my work is flexible. I’m home every night and throughout the day leaving me with much time to care for your pets. I’ve given medications and feed depending on preference of pet and client. Each pet is unique to their way of being and I like to match the energy needed.
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.
“Marika was amazing! Feel very fortunate to have gotten her on short notice. My Viszla mix Susie loved her immediately. Marika took her on lots of walks (with tick check afterwards), sent updates, and her house/backyard space were perfect for an active breed. She went above and beyond when it came to making sure Susie was stimulated, making up little games for her to play with the squirrels and rabbits. Anytime I'm in the area I'll definitely be looking to book with Marika.”
“Beckie and her family were the perfect home away from home for our high-energy 2yo German Shepherd. She has a beautiful and massive back yard and provided photo updates throughout the stay. We’ll happily trust Beckie with Echo on future trips and highly recommend her!”
“Megen took great care of our dog Lotta. She has a fenced in backyard which was great so our dog was outside a lot and played with the other dogs there. Easy to communicate with. Highly recommend!”

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 Rifton home-away-from-home, 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 Rifton.
<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 Rifton 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 , 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 .
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.
