“She was great with Max. Max loved her, she is very kind and cooperative. She updated me with lovely pictures of him and took great care of him. I would definitely have her take care of him again.”
“Sam was absolutely wonderful with Kulfi! She paid attention to all of our instructions and made sure to give her tons of affection and play time. Sam sent lots of cute pics too so I knew Kulfi was doing well! Sam was also very accommodating and actually came to pick Kulfi up since she lives close by. I can’t wait to book with Sam again soon!”
“Emerald was absolutely wonderful! She was communicative, sent me so many cute photos and videos, flexible with drop-off and pick-up, and so easy to work with. She has a dog park in her building ,which is amazing, My dog Joy had the best time. Being a dog mom herself, you can tell she truly gets it, and I trusted her with Joy 100%. I highly recommend her to any pet parent. Thanks Emerald, Joy misses you already, I can tell!”
“This was my very first time using a dog sitter, and I couldn't have asked for a better experience. My puppy, Kalii can definitely be a handful, full of energy and still learning the ropes, but Ziwei handled everything with so much patience, care, and experience. She made me feel completely at ease from the start, sending regular updates and photos that really helped ease my nerves. I’m so grateful for the care and attention she gave and will absolutely be booking again. Highly recommend and thank you again!”
“Michael watched our dog June for one night in preparation for a longer stay and was very communicative and helpful! We’re looking forward to having June stay with him again.”

They have a beautiful, cherry apartment and their dog Fennel is the cutest.I really appreciated the consistent updates and photos and I felt so at ease knowing he was in great hands. Thank you, Raven and Jesse!”
“Patricia and her son are amazing dog sitters. My 4-month old beagle Toni was happier than I’ve ever seen her. Patricia updated me and sent me pictures throughout my entire time away. I was able to enjoy my trip because I knew Toni was in good hands. I would definitely recommend her and will continue using her services in the future. Thank you so much!”

“Max loves staying with Thai! We knew he was in good hands when we left Max to go out of town for a couple of days. Max also enjoys the company of Thai’s dog Dexter. I think Max finds his presence comforting and it eases his anxiety. Sometimes Max won’t eat at other dog sitter’s, but he had no problem with this at Thai’s. I highly recommend!”

“Deanna took wonderful care of our dog while we were out of town. She was incredibly communicative, sending regular updates and photos that gave us peace of mind throughout our trip. Our dog has special medical needs and requires several medications each day, and Deanna handled everything with great care and attention. When our flight home was delayed, Deanna was also very flexible and accommodating with our pickup time, which we truly appreciated. We felt completely confident that our dog was in excellent hands, and we wouldn't hesitate to book with Deanna again. Highly recommend!”

We are so happy to have found a consistent sitter for Winston and would recommend his services to anyone!”
“Anton and his wife were great hosts to my dog pears. You can tell they are very experienced with dogs. They welcomed him as if it was his home, took plenty of pictures, and updated me the whole time along the way. They even took him out for a field trip to the beach! My dog came back to me happy as ever. Thanks Anton!!!”

“I had Kadeisha watch my dog Scooby for 2 weeks and I must say after his first weekend he loved her so much!! Scooby isn’t usually good with strangers, but Kadeisha ensured she met him twice before keeping him . That kind of dedication worked in our favor because he was so comfortable and so was I. I’m very thankful and satisfied with Kadeisha’s service and would recommend to anyone looking for a sitter.”

Erica is the Best. Sitter. Ever! She took amazing care of our ball obsessed one year old Lab puppy Junie over the holidays. Truly went above and beyond expectations and had a great understanding of our dog. Loved the amazing updates and incredible videos and photos of Junie playing with her new fur friends. We are planning to rebook in February when we are away next.

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 Roxbury 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 Roxbury.
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 Roxbury 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.
