“My dog had a great time with Jennifer, Thomas and their kids. They’ shared photos of her getting petted on the couch and going on walks. She was exhausted when she came home after having had a very fun day with this lovely family.”

“Janice was wonderful to our dog, Zephyr. He can be a bit apprehensive around other dogs and she took the time with him and managed all interactions perfectly. She sent lots of photos and updates and it was clear that Zephy was having a great time and loving the company. I was also completely at ease and felt that my dog was receiving the best possible care and oversight. We can’t wait to visit Janice and her family again soon!”

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.
“Maria takes such great care of our little Cardamom (Cardi). We are so happy to have found her. She is easy to communicate with and clearly loves animals. Someone is always home which is particularly great for Cardi because she gets anxious when she's alone. Thank you, Maria, for all that you do!!”

“Mildred and her family were incredibly wonderful to Luna and to me! They lived her like their own, and even fell IN love with her! I had lots of pictures from her even showing her lying on of the beds being pet. Luna is anxious and they either with her to warm up, there are two couples in the house and her son and they all take care of the dogs. What a wonderful place to leave your pup.”

“Cherissa and her family were wonderful. I felt so comfortable leaving my pup with them. Cherissa sent me constant updates and pictures. Would highly recommend her and would definitely use her family again.”

“Saskia watched our two dogs at her home, and we had a great experience! They were both very well taken care of, and Saskia sent us several photos throughout their stay, which we really appreciated. Our dogs seemed to have a great time and got along really well with her dogs. It gave us peace of mind knowing they were in good hands while we were away. We will definitely be booking with Saskia again!”

“We had SUCH a wonderful experience with Meghan & Sean—and so did our pup! Our 3yo dog is nervous around new people and can be reactive. We were worried about how she would do staying with a family with young kids. Meghan & Sean listed to our worries and helped up brainstorm ways to put our dog at ease. And it worked like a charm! We were so grateful to the extra time Meghan & Sean spent to make both the humans and the doggo feel positive about the plan. We loved getting pics of the crew on their daily walks. It was also really really REALLY nice to see how much love Meghan and fam have for all animals, and how positive they were about our sometimes tricky dog. Our dog had a great week and we will definitely return to Meghan & Sean for future doggy needs, whether it is another week or a shorter visit. Highly recommend, zero notes!”

“Volha, Christian and their 2 daughters have been the best second family for my little guy, Doug. He is an anxious pup and I never have had to worry about his care for the 2 years I’ve been bringing him to them. I very often have to leave for work last minute and Volha has never said no to me. Doug lights up everytime I drop him off and I get the best photos of him snuggling her daughters. Although I just moved out of Bushwick and my new neighborhood isn’t as close, I know I can still bring Doug back to Volha and her family whenever we need!!! Thank you both again!!”

“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.”


“Bob is my go to when i board my dog, Jake. Although Jake is very attached to me, he happily goes with Bob every time I leave him! That’s all i need to know! I definitely recommend Bob to provide great care for your dog!”

“Absolute peace of mind through the entire experience. This was only the third time with a sitter and second boarding my Whiskey dog overnight; but never have I felt as content as when he was with Judy, her wonderful family & beautiful home. Was able to completely enjoy my vacation knowing he was cared for as one of her own. I really can’t thank her enough for what that contentment was worth to me. To top it off she’s so nice!! Had pushed the date forward a day at the last minute, she was totally understanding and went with the flow. Just thank you!!!! I know Whiskey dog misses his new friends already =^_^=”

“Nayeli filled in at short notice to provide boarding and care for my senior shepherd/husky (shepsky). She took care of his food and medications and provided excellent communication and updates during the stay. He had a great visit with her.”

“Miranda is a very warm caring and welcoming caretaker who immediately made our dog feel safe and comfortable upon arrival. I highly recommend her. She is also very easy to work with and communicates well.”


“Lauren and family made leaving our boy Brew a relaxing and comforting experience while we went away for a weeks vacation. The moment I met her I knew Brewtus would be in good hands. Anytime I texted about Brewtus she was quick to respond, kept us updated with pictures and videos. I would definitely recommend her and will most definitely be using her services and care again!! Thank you! BREWTUS is now part farm dog!😆😍🥰💙 thank you again for peace of mind!!!!”

“Celina was great. She sent photos and updates and Mango seemed to have a great time. She was flexible and responsive about timing, and everything was so easy and pleasant. Thanks Celina!”

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.
97% of sitters in Ruby 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 Ruby 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 Ruby.
<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 Ruby 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.

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.

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.
