“Candace is absolutely amazing! She boarded my dog Lou in her home and took such wonderful care of her. From the moment we met, I could tell Candace had a kind and gentle disposition, which instantly put me at ease. She was communicative throughout the entire stay, providing thoughtful updates and letting me know how Lou was doing. At pick-up, she shared even more details, which I really appreciated. If you’re looking for someone who is loving, easy to talk to, responsive, and incredibly responsible, Candace is the one. I’m so grateful to have found her!”
“You can tell how much Natasha and Hamir really care about dogs and they took such good care of our 6-month poodle puppy Jujuba during our 10-day trip. We were very worried as it was our first time away from our puppy but they did an amazing job treating him as if he was theirs and putting all our worries at ease. Natasha sent us updates everyday with pictures and prioritized Jujuba’s safety. The dog area is separated from the kitchen by gates, so you don’t need to worry about puppy swallowing something that’s not good for them. Natasha and Hamir not only took him on regular walks, but also kept him away from heat when it was too hot outside. Our puppy gets some eye allergy and Natasha cleaned his eyes as I asked. We could see how comfortable and happy Jujuba got with them when we picked him up. We will definitely use them again in future! 🥰🥰”
“My dog Keke had a great time with Maxine, her family and their dog, Skyler. Keke is a runner and there is plenty of space for running, hiking and more. I recommend Maxine and will surely have Keke stay again in the future. Thanks”
“Hayden is a very kind and easy going. We love his flexibility and accommodating approach to dog sitting. Zorra enjoys her time with Hayden and family. We trust Hayden implicitly with our baby and would highly recommend him to anyone.”
About: Hi My name is Stacy, I live in Cortlandt Manor, NY and have been keeping tails wagging and paws prancing for over 23 years in Westchester, NY. I provide pet sitting services in Cortlandt Manor, Peekskill, Mohegan Lake, Croton, Yorktown, Putnum, Montrose Jefferson Valley, and Briarcliff. I can accommodate drop-in visits for dog walks and feedings and love doing drop-in visits for cats to ensure they get enough playtime and attention. I am available for the summer and upcoming holidays for 2026. I am also accepting boarding for small to medium-size dogs. NOTE: I board one pet at a time to ensure they get my 100% attention and love. I am certified in Pet CPR and First Aid. I have experience sitting for large dogs, small dogs, puppies, older dogs and lots of cats. I am also very comfortable giving pills to dogs and some shots for diabetic cats. As an experienced pet sitter, my priority for every pet is to make sure they are safe and totally pampered. I take great pride in sending adorable pictures and notes to clients to ensure they have real time updates to see their pets are happy and comfortable with me. Pet owners can feel relaxed knowing their pet is in great care while they are away. If you would like to set up a free meet and greet, please contact me. I am available for meet and greets during weekdays after 4:00 pm and I am very flexible on weekends. I work remotely now and I am available for boarding during the week and weekends and can do drop in walks and visits both during the week and on weekends I require at least 72hrs notice for boarding. I only take in one pet at a time, so I can ensure they get my full attention and can feel comfortable and pampered in my home. I will walk dogs three times a day if needed and try to keep to their regular routines.
“We only used Arsenii once so far but will definitely be going back. Oscar has a bit of separation anxiety but Arsenii's place provides a relaxed vibe and Oscar made himself right at home.”
“Irene and her family did a wonderful job taking care of Nibbles! As soon as we drove up, Irene and her husband came to greet us and Nibbles felt comfortable with both of them immediately. She sent me pictures throughout the time he was there and I am so grateful that I found her!”
“Simba was well cared for when he was with Lucienne. She was flexible and easy to communicate with. I would recommend her to others looking for someone to board their furry friend(s).”
“I cannot recommend Ariana highly enough! I left my Goldendoodle in her care for two weeks, and the peace of mind was incredible. From day one, Ariana’s communication was detailed, positive, and incredibly reassuring. She sent daily photos and written updates that kept me smiling and informed throughout my trip. What truly set Ariana apart was her patience and attentiveness to my dog's personality. She can be quite skittish about new things, but Ariana gently encouraged her to try new experiences without ever pushing her comfort zone too far. I even had the joy of seeing my dog confidently walk across a bridge she used to be afraid of — a huge milestone thanks to Ariana’s supportive handling! She also made sure my dog stayed mentally stimulated with visits to new parks and local dog-friendly spots. When I came back to pick my dog up, she was thrilled to see me but clearly missed Ariana, wanting to stay just as much. You could tell my dog felt safe, loved, and well-cared for. If you are looking for a sitter who pays close attention to detail and truly cares about your dog’s emotional well-being, Ariana is the one.”
“Jessica and her family took great care of our large breed dog while we were away. She sent lots of updates and we could tell she was very well cared for while in their care. We will definitely use them again.”
“Lily took wonderful care of my dog Pippa! It was my first time working with her and I will definitely use her again. Pippa is a very playful dog and Lily kept her entertained and engaged the whole time. I think Pippa was very bummed to come back home and leave her new friends. Thanks Lily!!”
“Alexis was wonderful! This was my first time having Cooper boarded at someone’s house and she made him so welcomed and like one of her family. She sent photos and videos of him daily, he seemed to be having a great time each day. 100% will be using Alexis again and would recommend!”
“Michael is awesome and a pleasure to work with. Our dog Frank does not do well with standard kennels and we've struggled to find places to board him. We recently needed a someone to care for him for 4 days and thankfully discovered Michael. Not only was Frank very well cared for, but we're pretty sure he wanted us to extend our trip for another 4 days. Michael clearly loves dogs and treats his guests like kings/queens. He sent multiple pictures daily and it was clear that Frank was comfortable, happy...and spoiled. We just hope Michael is available every time we travel!”
“Ryan EXCEEDED my expectations! He has an intuitive way with dogs. He is very knowledgable about dogs & dog behavior. Ryan is the real deal-- a true animal lover & kind, decent human being. He communicated well with pics and updates during my dog's visit. During our initial meeting I felt an instant rapport he had with my dog that put me at ease. His home is VERY dog-centric! The visiting dogs are not confined and are free to mingle and find their own place to relax. There are ample dog beds, couches, human beds and floor space for lounging and sleeping. I especially appreciate that Ryan limits the number of dogs he boards at one time to a very small group, & makes sure they vibe well together beforehand. The living space Ryan and his boarders occupy is all on one level, which is great for my dog with arthritis. There is a wooded trail for walks adjoining the yard, and a guest bedroom if a dog needs some quiet alone time. I would HIGHLY recommend Ryan and I plan to use him again!”
“This is my second time having my fur baby with Sue. It was a much longer visit this time (a week) amd Sue remained her kind communicative self. Would recommend in a heartbeat. She goes above and beyond. Thank you! 💕”
“Gretchen took excellent care of my dog while I was away. He seemed very happy during his stay. I also received daily photos and updates about how he was doing. I'll definitely use Gretchen's services again.”
The median cost per night for dog boarding in Shrub Oak is $60

Audrey was fantastic! One of our dogs had an ear infection while we traveled and Audrey had no problem with medication administration. Our flight was delayed by almost a full day and she was so understanding and very accommodating. Her communication was great and our dogs loved their time with her and we would definitely love to have her watch them again!

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.
95% of sitters in Shrub Oak 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 Shrub Oak 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 Shrub Oak.
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 Shrub Oak. On Rover:
- 87% of sitters can help with special care needs
- 93% can help with giving oral medications or injections
- 95% 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 Shrub Oak 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.
