“Christine was the best sitter for Enzo! She gave daily updates with photos and videos and it was obvious that he was very happy and entertained. He came home exhausted which is always a good sign!”
“Maria was amazing! From day 1, she was attentive and had open communication with us about Stella and Hunters' progress. She facilitated a comfortable and fun environment, and we were pleased with the overall experience. I would highly recommend Maria and would work with her in the future”
“Cindy took very good care of Cooper… she sent pictures of Cooper snuggling with her family and her dog Pepper. I would highly recommend Cindy. Cindy is a wonderful person… very kind and flexible. She is a fantastic dog sitter. I would definitely bring Cooper back again.”
“John was absolutely amazing with my dog, Prince. He sent me pictures and Prince even smiled for the camera. Prince loved playing and snuggling with his dogs and he was sad to leave them because he doesn’t have any dogs to play with at home. John was very accommodating in helping me with the drop off & pick up since I’m disabled. I would use him again.”
“Jeff was fantastic with our dog, Moby. It is obvious he loves dogs and that made us happy leaving him with someone who would take such good care of him. Jeff is a great communicator and sent photos of Moby often. We already are booking Jeff for our next trip. Thank you!!!”

“Lorena was the best possible dog sitter I could’ve imagined. She was quick to reply to my request, asked great follow up questions and I could tell right away how she cares for animals. Her yard was fenced in, tons of space and my puppy had such a great time. She sent pictures/videos throughout the day. I felt so safe with with my puppy being under her care. I will definitely be using her again and recommending her to others!”
“Our Jack Russell terrier had a terrific time with Catherine and her family! Catherine is super-friendly and really knows, and loves, dogs. We are so happy with the care Cosmo received and all the great photos of Cosmo Catherine sent us every day we were away. We will definitely ask Catherine to take care of Cosmo the next time we travel!”
“Korin took wonderful care of my cat, Rajah, for five days while I was away. She was attentive, kind, and clearly cared about Rajah's well-being. I especially appreciated the regular updates and photos, which gave me peace of mind and allowed me to enjoy my trip knowing she was in good hands. Korin was reliable, communicative, and went above and beyond to make sure Rajah was comfortable and well cared for. I would not hesitate to trust her with my cat again and highly recommend her to anyone looking for a caring and dependable pet sitter.”
“Ariel watched our dog for the first time. He came home happy and very relaxed. Charlie has a fear of thunder and some anxiety.

“Colleen is THE BEST! We left our baby, Tako with her for 15 days and we already had a good feeling after meeting her and visiting her impeccably clean and dog friendly home. We received the MOST wonderful pics every day of our boy playing with the other doggies, enjoying the back yard, the sun room (his favorite I think) and of course cuddling up to Colleen and her husband on the couch and bed. Things we LOVE about Colleen....only small/medium size dogs, great space for doggies to roam and find their favorite spot, great communication and MOST of all, her wonderful manner and love of dogs. We know that she cared for our Tako as if he were her own. Thank YOU Colleen, we will be back again and again and of course recommend you highly to anyone needing your service.”

They provided exceptional care for our puppy while we attended a wedding Our pet “gigi” was happy, Marcela went above and beyond, sending us regular updates and photos to give us peace of mind.

“This was our first time using Rover. It was so easy! We had a variety of dog sitters to choose from within a short distance. Something told us to look into Jocelha. She is THE BEST!! Sophie had a great time. Jocelha sent us lots of pictures and had detailed and funny stories about Sophie’s days & evenings. We were starting to think that she was having so much fun, she might not want to come back home with us!! lol”

Ariel watched our dog for the first time. He came home happy and very relaxed. Charlie has a fear of thunder and some anxiety. Ariel understood this and let us know how he did when the weather was bad. She sent us pictures and information about how he was doing. We would definitely leave Charlie with her again.
We booked Lorena for our senior dog Onnie somewhat last minute as our regular pet sitter had a medical emergency only a couple of weeks prior to a two week vacation. Lorena was lovely to chat with via the Rover app and was flexible with scheduling a meet and greet. Onnie needs extra care as she takes an oral medication, topical medication and wears dog-diapers. Lorena handled it all in stride. We were left at ease knowing the Onnie was receiving amazing care and lots of love. We loved receiving lots of pictures and video updates. Lorena’s house and large backyard are clean and pet friendly. Lorena will be our go-to sitter from now on. Do not hesitate to schedule with her:)

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 Shirley 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 Shirley 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 Shirley.
<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 Shirley 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.
