About: I've loved dogs since childhood and have always had one by my side. Right now, I have a toy poodle, so I understand the unique needs of small breeds firsthand—from their exercise requirements to their more delicate care compared to larger dogs. Because of this, I'm especially comfortable and confident caring for small dogs under 20 lbs. What sets me apart is the personal, hands-on experience I bring: I know how to read small dogs' body language, keep them calm around bigger animals, and give them the gentle, attentive care they thrive on. I'm patient, observant, and treat every dog like my own poodle—with genuine affection and close attention to their comfort and safety. I work from home. So I will be able to take care of your pet. If you have something on weekend or on Holiday then you can rely on me I have a toy poodle who is very friendly. He loves to play. If your pup is not aggresive then he will be safe here. I can give your food or my pets food.
“David was amazing! He was super accommodating about a last minute booking, and sent lots of sweet pics of my pup having fun and getting loved on. He came back tired from all the playing and fun he had.”

“Hannah was great with our dog! Tobi doesn’t normally eat much when we are gone away but with Hannah Tobi ate a full bowl each night! She enjoyed the large backyard and had a great time with Hannah dogs. I can tell Tobi was well loved while we were away. We also loved receiving daily updates with photos! Thanks for the amazing care you gave to Tobi!”

About: I come from a family who has always had multiple pets at a time, with anywhere from 3 to 10 foster dogs under our care at any given time! I’ve cared for a wide range of dogs from smaller poodles and Shih tzus to much larger retrievers, border collies, and German shepherds. I have experience with cats as well, but much more lengthy experience taking care of dogs of different sizes and temperaments :) I am a med student so my schedule varies in flexibility but I live in a very walkable area and typically spend a lot of time at home studying! I love taking long walks in between classes and studying and would love to bring a furry friend along with me :) As I do have to be in classes some days for a few hours (no more than 3-4 at a time), i am better boarding pets who can be left alone for a couple hours. As for my home, I have plenty of space for them to run around freely.

About: Hi! I’m Jenine — a lifelong animal lover with years of hands-on experience caring for dogs, cats, and senior pets. I’m patient, gentle, and I truly treat every furry friend like part of my family. I understand how stressful it can feel to leave your pets with someone new, so I make sure you’re always updated with photos, messages, and clear communication. Whether your pet needs extra snuggles, a steady routine, daily exercise, or slow introductions, I adjust to their personality and make sure they feel safe and loved. I have experience with: • Puppies and energetic dogs • Senior pets who need patience and comfort • Cats with shy or affectionate personalities • Oral medication administration • Dogs who need structured walks or extra exercise I work later hours, so I’m very dependable for evening and overnight care — perfect for pet parents with busy schedules, hospital shifts, or last-minute plans. Your pet’s happiness and safety are my top priority, and I always go the extra mile to make sure you come home to a calm, cared-for companion. ❤️ Pet care is part of my everyday routine. I love starting and ending my day with walks, feeding, and cuddle time. I make sure every pet gets the right amount of exercise, attention, and consistent care so they feel secure and comfortable while you’re away. Whether your pet is staying with me or I’m visiting your home, I follow their routine closely—meals, walks, medication, playtime, everything. I make sure they’re well-fed, exercised, relaxed, and comfortable. My priority is keeping tails wagging and whiskers purring while giving you total peace of mind.
“After an unsuccessful kennel stay, I decided to look at Rover. I read Lori’s information and reviews and was very impressed. We did a meet and greet and I found Lori to be so kind and genuine towards Winnie. I decided to set up a short one night visit before sending Winnie for a longer stay. I could not be happier about how well the visit went. Lori spent the entire time making Winnie feel safe and loved. They did all of Winnie’s favorite things that she loves to do at home. Lori sent many texts and photos. I could not have asked for better care! My husband and I both felt like Winnie gave us the “ how come your back so soon” look when we picked her up. Winnie is all signed up for her next stay (10 days) and we are totally confident she will have an awesome time and that we will be able to relax while we are away!!”

About: I’ve grown up with dogs my entire life and have cared for several family dogs over the years, including American Akitas and a Husky and Australian Shepherd mix. I’m comfortable with different breeds, personalities, and energy levels. I enjoy walks, playtime, and making sure each dog feels safe, comfortable, and cared for while you’re away. I recently graduated and am currently looking for a job, which gives me a flexible schedule during the week and on weekends. I have plenty of time to provide pets with attention, playtime, walks, and companionship. I enjoy making sure pets stay active, happy, and comfortable while their owners are away. I have a comfortable home with plenty of trees, nearby walking trails, and a river area where dogs can enjoy outdoor time. Since my yard is not fenced, I always use a leash and supervise dogs during potty breaks and walks to make sure they stay safe. I also have my own cat, Eartha, who is friendly and enjoys meeting people. I understand that every pet has their own personality, so I take the time to help them feel comfortable and follow each owner’s instructions to provide the best care possible.
About: I’ve taken care of dogs and cats for family and neighbors since I was 12 years old. I love animals of all shapes and sizes! I’ve volunteered at lollypop farm caring for cats, dogs, and their small animals. I also have experience working in a pet boarding/daycare facility! I love giving personalized special attention to each pet I meet. I take pride in treating all my clients with the utmost care and love the flexibility of personal pet care vs. a large facility. I’d be happy to watch your furry (or not furry) friends! I’m currently inbetween jobs so my schedule is mostly open! I’m flexible with visits and am excited to use my free time for the things I enjoy! I just went from working full time at a pet care facility to now finally pursing cosmetology again! I’d love to learn grooming aswell! I’m flexible with my visits and happy to workout whatever works best for you and your pet! I am extremely comfortable around dogs and have done pet behavior training! I am trained to make animals as comfortable as possible and pay close attention to body language! I’m comfortable being around all types of pets from a playful puppy to a shy cat! My goal is to make your pets feel as comfortable as possible! I also am experienced with reptiles and small animals!
“Michelle was very flexible and willing to work with our schedule changes, and took great care of our senior dog for a 10-day stay. She understood all of our concerns and gave us plenty of updates, and we went home with a happy pup!”

“Quinn was very kind and accommodating, she met with me prior to the stay to make sure it seemed like a good fit and then watched my dog Charli for 5 days. Everything went well and she kept me updated everyday on how things were going. Highly recommend her as your rover go to :)”


About: You no longer have to worry about finding a trustworthy and responsible dog watcher. My name is Ellie V and I am 27 years old. I’ve been watching dogs for at least 16 years of all sizes. Not afraid of any breed. I currently have two dogs, one is a Rottweiler and a French Bulldog. I will give your pet the best care you can imagine while you’re gone. At this time, I am free Monday-Friday at any time. That could change, so message me for an accurate response. I will not walk dogs after dark. I can drop-in or walk your dog during the day at almost any time. I do not walk dogs after dark, but will do drop-in visits after dark.
“I’ve had my dog Kramer stay with Valerie several times and I’ll always go to her first. It was hard to leave Kramer for eight days for my honeymoon, but she made me feel at ease every single day and sent me updates with photos on a daily basis. Shes an amazing boarder and don’t hesitate to book her!”

“I left my fur baby with Matt for a two-week span, and it couldn't have worked out better. Matt immediately connected with my pup, asked a bunch of questions about his routine and likes/dislikes, and was extremely communicative throughout the stay, sending photos and video updates of their walks and playtime. He even helped unload and set up my dog's crate, bed, and belongings! Matt is conscientious and caring, and I am so glad to have found him!! Highly recommend.”


“Maryfran was wonderful with our timid bulldog. Our dog felt right at home in the relaxing environment created by Maryfran. We were sent frequent updates and photos of our pup while we were away that put us at ease as well. We will be using her services again very soon. We would highly recommend Maryfran.”

“Had a great experience with Patrick. We had an unplanned trip for family reasons and had to find a sitter for Whiskey (1yo unfixed cav) a day before leaving. Patrick was very accommodating with this last minute booking and extending Whiskey's stay for another night. Whiskey had an awesome time playing with Moose. We got updates with pictures and videos. We're definitely going to book again for other trips”

Pet parents share their Rover experiences - Shortsville
This was the first time ever leaving my dog. He is a certified emotional support dog for my PTSD. The hotel would not let any emotional support animals come regardless of paperwork. Jeffrey was absolutely wonderful with keeping in touch as well. Sending many pictures. Apollo was very happy while he was there. He provided exceptional care.

Jeffrey was wonderful with our sometimes nervous pup! He went above and beyond to make him comfortable and happy and was incredible sending pictures and communicating with me throughout the stay. Highly recommend to anyone looking for someone really confident and skilled with all dogs (even ones with quirks)!

Carol is absolutely WONDERFUL!! She is a beautiful person and incredibly loving of our Lani. She’s a great communicator and so considerate of the dogs needs. She gave Lani and bath and even got her a new harness as she had grown out fit the one I sent with her. All around 5* I am so fortunate to have found her!!

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.

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.
