“Chrissy did an amazing job caring for our puppy Rosie. She sent updates and pictures of Rosie playing with toys, doing zoomies in her house and generally being her spirited, lively self in Chrissy’s home. Chrissy’s fenced backyard was a bonus. She was so kind, thorough and responsible, we felt very comfortable leaving our sweet Rosie with Chrissy. Highly recommend!!”
“Jen was great with my dog Xander who has seperation anxiety and can have occasional accidents due to nerves in the house. She sent daily pictures of him having fun and playing with other pups. Couldn’t have asked for a better experience!! I will be booking with her again for all my future getaways”
“Awoo is genuinely great at what he does. He keeps our dogs safe and happy while we're away and he's even helped train & socialize our shyer dog. As long as Awoo is available, he's our #1 choice for dog sitting.”
“This was our second booking with Stephanie. She was very accommodating with our dog. It was so helpful that she dropped the dog at our home just as we arrived back home. Our dog arrived happy and well cared for. Stephanie has been reliable, a good communicator, and flexible with each of our bookings. We couldn't ask for a better fit!!”
“We had a wonderful experience with Bailey watching Rip and Thor. She communicated well throughout their stay, kept us updated, and clearly took great care of them. She gave them good walks and played with them regularly, and it was obvious they enjoyed spending time with her. Both dogs were happy and comfortable the whole time. We would definitely book Bailey again and highly recommend her!”
“Karen was so kind, and really great with Gertie. I was so happy to see her quickly be affectionate with Karen which made me so happy! She sent me sweet photos and responded to my messages very quickly which was much appreciated. She took her into her home and everyone was happy. I am hoping to back up Karen’s way more in the future and will 100% use Karen again and also highly recommend her to other dog parents!!”
“This was our first time boarding our boy with non-family, so we were a bit nervous about the process. Taylor was absolutely wonderful to work with and answered any questions we had along the way and sent great updates. When we picked up our boy, he was relaxed and happy - our experience with Taylor was amazing.”
“Buca is well cared for at Julia's! She comes home happy and healthy. We are grateful to her and Adam and will continue to use them. We love getting the pictures of her playing with the other dogs!”
“Loved how we would get updates multiple times a day! That would be photos and videos. Very attentive and Penny had a great time 💗. Would recommend and rebook with Natthinee!!”
“I'm so glad and grateful we were able to book with Samantha for 4 nights of boarding! She was flexible and accomodating in working with me through video calls and time differences as well as coordinating drop off and pick up with a family member who is taking care of my dog for a couple months while I am overseas. She was also understanding and receptive about special care requests during our initial chats and it was fantastic receiving twice daily updates during the boarding. I could tell from the belly up pictures that my dog felt safe, happy, and well taken care of! Will definitely try to book with her again should the need come up once more and give my enthusiastic recommendation to others as well!”
“I highly recommend Mary for your loved ones. The the first day on our meeting and greet after standing there talking for a little bit, she automatically went and put a water bowl down for my dog my dog drinks, a lot of water so I found it wonderful that she was intuitive enough to know that the dog needed water her stay was wonderful. My dog had some issues and Mary was very accommodating with them and her and everything worked out wonderful. I highly recommend Mary’s service to any dog owner. She worked well within my time guidelines. It was just a wonderful experience.”
“First time using Rover with Bella and Addy was absolutely the best sitter I could of ask for! My dog Bella has separation anxiety but I could barley tell she missed me! Addy sent me several updates and pictures which made me feel at ease that Bella was enjoying herself so much. Would absolutely rebook with Addy in the the future!”

“Tiffany was wonderful with our dog Wyatt. We could see how much he loved being at her home and she took excellent care of him. She was frequently communicating with us as how he was doing which we greatly appreciated. I think Wyatt really enjoyed the big fenced in back at her house. We will definitely be using her again. We highly recommend Tiffany!”
“Brittany took amazing care of our 1.5 year old Samoyed. Drop off / pick-up was super easy. She kept us posted on how our dog was doing during our trip. She was also awesome at introducing her two dogs to ours to make sure they weren't thrown into a weird situation! We could tell our dog had a great time :)”
“Kimberly was so kind to take Toby my 19-lb Havenese dog very last minute! I have a bad wrist fracture and was not able to take care of him properly. She took such great care of him with only hours’ notice. I will definitely use her services again!”

Lauren was a great fit for Birdie! I received pics and updates during her stay and could tell that Birdie was well cared for, having fun, and happy. Birdie even made a new best friend during her stay with Lauren’s pup! Most importantly though, at pickup and afterwards, Birdie was calm and very much seemed like herself which to me means that Birdie felt safe and had a good stay! I am already planning to book again!
Karen was so kind, and really great with Gertie. I was so happy to see her quickly be affectionate with Karen which made me so happy! She sent me sweet photos and responded to my messages very quickly which was much appreciated. She took her into her home and everyone was happy. I am hoping to back up Karen’s way more in the future and will 100% use Karen again and also highly recommend her to other dog parents!!
Thank you, Jillian, for being so sweet & patient with our Angel. Our 8 year old golden retriever spent 4 days & nights with Jillian & was well-loved & looked after. This was our dog’s first experience boarding & she is naturally a little nervous (her parents were too), but Jillian was wonderful with her. She sent thorough updates every day & even went so far as to hand feed her when she had trouble eating. We are very thankful for the wonderful job she did & are looking forward to Angel’s next visit!

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.
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.
96% of sitters in Riley Cove 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 Riley Cove 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 Riley Cove.
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.
Yes, you can find sitters who have experience with handling special pet needs in Riley Cove. On Rover:
- 88% of sitters can help with special care needs
- 95% can help with giving oral medications or injections
- 96% can help with daily exercise
You can also find pet sitters on Rover who accept only one pet at a time, which is ideal for anxious puppies, kittens, or senior pets who move at a gentler pace. Some sitters will also list availability for 24/7 care, also known as constant care, in their profiles.
Use the search filters to narrow down sitters whose specific experience or environment meets your pet's needs. When reaching out to your sitter, outline your pet's care routine and use the Meet & Greet to walk your sitter through your expectations.
You and your Riley Cove 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.
Adding another pup to the pack? Most sitters and walkers offer a reduced rate for additional dogs. You’ll find these exact rates listed under the "Services" tab on any sitter's profile. Since every dog is unique, final pricing may vary depending on the level of care required.
