“Catherine was amazing! Her and her husband were very sweet and knowledgeable! They took the time to do a proper meet and greet which helped my dog get to know them and made my experience so comforting to know exactly where my dog would be as well as get to know who my dog would be staying with. They sent updates throughout the entire time. My dog was so happy, well cared for, and felt at home. Highly recommended booking Catherine!”

“This was our first time using Rover. I was very reluctant to use a person I did not know, or friends didn't know. However, I am so glad I took the chance with a 5 day/overnight in Sarah's home. It's a relief she only takes one animal at a time since our dog doesn't like other dogs. At the meet and greet, Sarah asked many questions to get a feel for Milo (eating & bathroom habits, walking, sleeping habits etc...) To start, her home is absolutely immaculate. I received a daily update with pictures on how our dog was adjusting & doing overall. Milo was displaying some quirky behaviors which Sarah reported right away & thought was cute/funny. She was very accepting, flexible in many ways, and an absolute delight to talk with. It is apparent she is a dog lover! Upon pick up, Milo was happy and all his belongings were packed & ready to go. We plan on using Sarah again for our next trip, if she's available.”

“Alev was the best dog sitter I ever had! Very attentive and always kept me updated. My dog is usually uncomfortable when I board him, and I notice he's exhausted after I pick him up but he wasn't like that with Alev. He was still very active when we came home, which means he felt comfortable enough to relax while he was staying. Thank you for loving and taking good care of my boy.”

“Sara was an amazing sitter! From day one, she provided excellent communication and was very responsive to my questions. During the trip, she sent several updates and pictures, so I knew that my pup was well cared for. In some of those pictures, my pup did things that she'd do at our house, so i knew that Sara treated her as a family member.”

About: I’ve been caring for pets my whole life—everything from playful puppies to sweet senior dogs. I’m the go-to sitter for friends and family because they know I treat every pet like my own. I’m all about keeping routines consistent, sending cute updates, and making sure your pet feels safe, loved, and totally spoiled while you’re away. I’m about to start my journey as a pediatric resident, so while my schedule can be a bit hectic at times, I’m still passionate about making time for pet care. I’ll always do my best to be flexible and work around your pet’s needs—whether that means early morning walks, evening check-ins, or weekend snuggles. Communication is super important to me, so I’ll always be upfront about my availability and make sure your pet gets the consistent, loving care they deserve. Whether I’m caring for them in my home or yours, I stick to their usual routines to keep things calm and familiar. I keep a close eye on everything—no off-leash walks, secure spaces, and lots of supervision during playtime. I also love sharing updates (with plenty of cute pics!) so you always know how your furry friend is doing. My goal is to make sure they feel happy, safe, and loved every step of the way.

About: What sets me apart from other sitters and walkers is my lifelong commitment to providing dogs with patient, loving, and reliable care. As a teenager I work for a dog breeder, walking and taking care of his dogs. I spent 14½ wonderful years raising, training, and caring for my Australian Shepherd. Through the Staten Island Training Club, I learned positive training techniques that helped me build a strong bond with him and taught me how to understand canine behavior. I know that every dog has a unique personality, energy level, and routine. Whether your dog enjoys long walks, playtime, mental stimulation, or simply companionship, I tailor my care to their individual needs. My experience also allows me to recognize changes in a dog's behavior and respond calmly and appropriately. In addition to caring for my own dog, I volunteer at a local animal shelter, where I've worked with dogs of different breeds, ages, and temperaments. This has strengthened my ability to make dogs feel comfortable, earn their trust, and provide safe, compassionate care. When your dog is with me, they'll be treated like family—with patience, respect, and plenty of attention. Pet care is a regular part of my weekly routine. I'm available for afternoon and evening dog walks. I also offer boarding for short stays of two to three nights, making it a great option if you're away for a long weekend. I plan my schedule carefully to ensure every pet receives the time, attention, exercise, and companionship they deserve. Whether it's an energetic walk, playtime, or simply keeping your dog company, I'll care for your pet as if they were my own. I care for every pet as if they were my own. I follow your pet's routine, including feeding, walks, playtime, medications (if needed), and plenty of love and attention. My goal is to keep your pet safe, comfortable, happy, and stress-free while giving you peace of mind.

“I booked with Hazard for a weekend, and I can’t say enough positive things about the experience. They were truly awesome! From the start, I felt completely at ease thanks to the frequent photo updates they sent. It was wonderful not having to wonder how my dog was doing because I got to see him happy and well cared for throughout the day. On top of that, they even provided a cute “report card” at the end of the day, which was such a thoughtful touch and gave me a great little summary of how he did. Overall, I was really happy with their care and would highly recommend them to anyone looking for a reliable dog sitter.”

Pet parents share their Rover experiences - Saint James

My Veterinarian's office recommended Rover. Immediately found Hayley and she lives less than a half hour from my home. Hayley and I connected and she suggested a Meet & Greet. After chatting with Hayley, with my cat in her carrier, I decided this arrangement would work for us all when I went away. One concern was the pills being administered in the morning. Hayley is experienced giving meds to pets so this was a big relief. My cat is extremely shy. With Hayley's kindness she came out from under the couch in a few hours and settled in as a gentle guest-cat. Hayley sent updates and heartwarming pictures of my cat. I highly recommend Hayley to care for your cat or dog in her home--or have her come to your place to give your pets the love and attention they need while you're away. -- Jan L. St. James

My dogs Bella and Bailey were in amazing hands with Rachel, Henrik and their children. They treated my dogs like they were their own from the moment they entered their home. My dogs are 14 years old and have some special needs and Rachel was up to the task! She even cooked rice for Bailey when he had an upset stomach! I would definitely recommend them to anyone who needs to have their dogs taken care of. My dogs got spoiled and would love to visit again in the future! Thanks for everything :)

All bookings are backed by the , which provides up to $25,000 in eligible veterinary care reimbursement.

A Meet & Greet is a casual meeting to vet potential sitters and communicate care needs for peace of mind before a booking begins. Only sitters who have never booked with you before can schedule a Meet & Greet on Rover; however, you are welcome to coordinate one in Rover messages with sitters you have previously booked. This can be helpful if you have a new pet or routine you want to go over with your sitter.

Meet & Greets can take place in person or virtually. If you are booking with a sitter for the first time, we recommend in-person Meet & Greets to get a clearer sense of how your sitter interacts with your pet or the new environment.

During the Meet & Greet, you will have a chance to walk through your pet's routine, medical needs, and unique quirks. Take the time to ask your sitter questions about their skills and expertise, and make sure the fit feels right for everyone. Meet & Greets are a great way to prepare your pet and sitter for longer stays or first-time bookings. Read our tips for your first .

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. Cats may be required to have Feline Viral Rhinotracheitis and Rabies up to date.

By discussing your pet's health history early, you’re adding a layer of confidence for you and your sitter before the booking begins.
