Ruth Ann and Brandon were amazing! This was my first experience leaving my dog with a sitter and they made it so easy. They sent daily pictures and videos, gave me updates and I can tell that my pup was incredibly comfortable with them. I will absolutely be using them again!
Aritra is an amazing sitter! From the pre-booking process to pick up, Aritra’s attention to detail and excellent communication made us feel secure in leaving our fur baby for a week. Great pics and video each day. Boodles got lots of exercise, go-fetch, back scratches and attention. You cannot go wrong with booking with Aritra!
I had a wonderful experience with Shania as always! She took care of my dog for almost two weeks, and I couldn’t have been happier with the care she provided. My dog absolutely loves her, and she consistently kept me updated throughout the stay, which gave me so much peace of mind. I would highly recommend her and would happily book with her again!
Jonisha has been a pleasure. This is my second experience with her. Absolutely amazing experiences! I couldn’t have asked for a better dog sitter. She was incredibly caring, attentive, reliable, and treated my dog like her own. It gave me such peace of mind knowing my fur baby was in such loving and capable hands. Her professionalism and genuine love for animals truly stand out. I highly recommend her to anyone looking for someone trustworthy and compassionate. I will definitely be booking with her again!
This is my third time booking with Tyler, and I’ll continue to do so! He is incredibly responsive, keeps me updated throughout the stay with photos, and, most importantly, my dog absolutely loves spending time with him. I always feel confident knowing my pup is in great hands. Highly recommend Tyler to anyone looking for a reliable, caring, and trustworthy sitter!
Vanessa was open honest and personable. She shared how Max did each day and what he ate and did not eat. Max was happy to see me when I returned but he continued to show his affection for Vanessa. This showed me that he liked her as well. Thank you Vanessa for taking such good care of me and Max
Jacind was great with Milo! I needed someone to keep him overnight while I was busy with my daughter’s Sweet Sixteen, and she made everything so easy for me. She was very communicative, sent me pictures and updates throughout the night, and Milo seemed to warm up to her really quickly. I also really appreciated that she was able to pick Milo up from the venue and drop him back off the next morning. With everything I had going on that weekend, that was a huge help. I felt comfortable knowing Milo was in good hands, and I would definitely book with Jacind again!
Laura was very good with my boy, it was our first time being away from him for a few days and we were very nervous but Laura assured me that my boy was in good hands and indeed he was. I even ask to extend my baby stay for one more day and she was willing to accommodate as well. Will definitely book in the future!
Abbie was fantastic watching our dog Mongchi overnight! She sent regular videos and pictures throughout the stay, so we always felt in the loop and could tell Mongchi was happy and comfortable in her care. He even got to play with her dog Peachy, and it was so sweet seeing them become friends — Mongchi had a blast! Drop-off and pick-up were both easy and stress-free. Abbie is communicative, caring, and it's obvious she genuinely loves the dogs she watches. We felt completely at ease leaving Mongchi with her. We'll definitely be booking with Abbie again!
Ingrid and her family are great host. They hosted Max for almost 2 weeks. They have Max lots of attention and love. She sent multiple pictures and videos every day while we were away. She communicates very well and quickly. Will continue to use Ingrid for upcoming trips and maybe check ins from time to time.
10/10 doesn’t even feel like enough! She is literally the BEST dog sitter ever. You can genuinely tell how much she cares about my dog and goes above and beyond every single time. She takes him out, gives him so much love and attention, and always makes sure he’s happy and comfortable. I never have to worry about him when he’s with her because I know he’s in the best hands. I’m so grateful I found someone I can trust with my baby. Highly, highly recommend her!!!
Amy was such an amazing caretaker for Apollo! We needed someone to watch him during a long trip, and since he had never stayed with her before, she generously offered not one, but two meet-and-greets. The first was to meet us and Apollo, and the second allowed him to get comfortable in her home before his stay. From the very beginning, Amy was incredibly sweet, kind, and welcoming. Her family was just as excited to have Apollo and made him feel right at home. She took the time to listen to all of our instructions and learn about Apollo’s preferences, and she truly embraced having him as part of her family while we were away. Throughout his stay, she kept me updated with pictures and messages about how he was eating, sleeping, adjusting, and whether he seemed anxious. Her communication was excellent, and she was always so accommodating and thoughtful. Apollo was happy, comfortable, and clearly well cared for, which gave me so much peace of mind while traveling. I trusted Amy completely and would absolutely have Apollo stay with her again. I highly recommend her to anyone looking for a loving, reliable, and communicative sitter!

On Rover, sitters set their own rates based on factors such as their experience, the length of care, the number of pets, and your pet’s specific needs.

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.
94% of sitters in Saint Albans 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 Saint Albans 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 Saint Albans.
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 Saint Albans. On Rover:
- 85% of sitters can help with special care needs
- 90% can help with giving oral medications or injections
- 94% 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 Saint Albans 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.
