“We couldn’t have asked for a better dog sitter! From the moment we met, it was clear that Erika genuinely loves animals and takes the responsibility seriously. She treated Bowie like a member of her own family, making sure that he was not only well cared for but also happy, comfortable, and loved while we were away. Communication was outstanding throughout our trip. We received regular updates, photos, and videos that gave us complete peace of mind. It was obvious that Bowie was getting plenty of attention, exercise, and affection. It’s such a relief to know we have someone we can trust completely with Bowie. Her professionalism, kindness, and attention to detail exceeded every expectation. We wholeheartedly recommend Erika to anyone looking for a reliable, compassionate, and exceptional dog sitter. We will absolutely be booking with her again, and we know Bowie can’t wait for the next visit!”
About: Looking for more than just a quick walk or a busy kennel? I provide personalized, one-on-one care tailored to your dog's personality, age, and energy level. Whether your dog enjoys a neighborhood walk, a wooded trail hike, a sniff walk, puzzle games, fetch, or simply relaxing with companionship, my goal is to make every visit enjoyable, enriching, and stress-free. I have over 14 years of hands-on experience with dogs, including supervising groups of up to 30 dogs in a professional dog daycare and caring for puppy groups under 4 months old. For more than five years, I also organized dog hikes throughout Westchester County, NY, and Fairfield County, CT, giving dogs a safe, structured, and fun way to exercise and explore. My experience is strongest with Golden Retrievers, Labrador Retrievers, Doodles, Cavaliers, and other friendly companion breeds that thrive with individualized attention, exercise, enrichment, and companionship. While I welcome many different breeds, I always schedule a meet-and-greet first to make sure we're the right fit for each other. My own Golden Retriever, Kobi, was my best friend and adventure partner for over 12 years. Together we explored hiking trails, beaches, kayaking trips, road trips from Maine to Florida, and countless daily walks. He taught me that every dog is an individual with unique needs, and that is exactly how I care for every dog I meet. I believe many dogs are happier with personalized care than large-group environments. Over the years, I have learned to read canine body language, recognize stress signals, manage different personalities, and create a calm environment where dogs feel safe and comfortable. I have experience with puppies, senior dogs, oral medications, and dogs that simply need extra patience and attention. My home has a fenced yard for supervised outdoor time and is just a five-minute walk from beautiful wooded trails. I intentionally keep boarding and daycare small by accepting only one guest dog at a time, or two dogs from the same family, so every dog receives plenty of supervision, affection, exercise, and individual attention. I also have a playpen available for puppies and young dogs who benefit from structured rest time. My apartment is on the second floor, so dogs should be be comfortable using stairs. While living in England, I helped care for a Golden Retriever, and later in Spain, I cared for a Yorkshire Terrier. These experiences, together with years of owning dogs, leading dog hikes, and working professionally in dog daycare, have given me experience with many different breeds, personalities, and energy levels. My approach combines practical experience with a calm, patient mindset. I am certified in Reiki and Emotion Code energy work and believe dogs thrive when they feel safe, understood, and respected. While every visit focuses first on your dog's physical needs, I also pay close attention to their emotional well-being. Services I offer: • Dog walking • Adventure walks and hikes (up to 2 hours) • 30-60 minute drop-in visits • Puppy visits and enrichment activities • Limited home daycare • Limited boarding for approved dogs For everyone's safety and comfort, I require a meet-and-greet before accepting new clients. I look forward to meeting you and giving your dog the same love, attention, and care that I gave my own. Pet care fits naturally into my daily routine. I am self-employed as a bookkeeper and real estate agent, which allows me to work primarily from home and maintain a flexible schedule. While I occasionally leave the house for appointments, errands, or property showings, I am able to plan my schedule around the needs of the pets in my care. This flexibility allows me to provide frequent potty breaks, exercise, playtime, companionship, and close supervision for dogs staying in my home. I provide a safe, calm, and personalized environment with plenty of individual attention. My home has a fenced yard for supervised outdoor time, and I live just a 5-minute walk from wooded trails for walks and adventures. Dogs have access to a comfortable sofa, toys, and puzzle games for enrichment and mental stimulation. I live in a second-floor apartment, so dogs should be comfortable using stairs. I only accept 1 dogs at a time or 2 from the same family to ensure each dog receives plenty of supervision, exercise, and companionship.
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.
“Alexis was fabulous when we boarded our two dogs with her for four nights! She was communicative and extremely flexible when we had to change our drop off time. Our dogs seem happy and healthy. They were both really tired when we got them to our hotel so I think they must've played a lot. Highly recommend!”
“Maddie was wonderful! Took perfect care of Sasha and checked in often about her during her stay. She was also very understanding and accomodating to some unfortunate tummy troubles Sasha had. Would definitely recommend Maddie!”
“We left our senior dog with Vijaya for a week and are very pleased to offer a strong recommendation for her services. As an added plus, she sent photos to us every day showing how happy the dog was. We recommend her services without hesitation.”
“Lucy was wonderful! My dog is special needs. Her blindness and anxiety made me reluctant to leave her anywhere, but Lucy made both of us feel comfortable. She kept in touch throughout the week and sent plenty of pictures. I am so grateful that my baby was safe and so well cared for!”
“Jadyn stayed with my 119-pound Bernedoodle for five days, and she was absolutely amazing. She maintained regular communication throughout my trip and sent pictures, which gave me great peace of mind while I was away. Knowing that she already had experience caring for large dogs made me feel very comfortable from the start. My dog was well cared for, and I could tell he was in great hands. I will definitely be booking Jadyn again for my next vacation and highly recommend her to anyone looking for a reliable and caring pet sitter.”
“Denise is incredible. I truly believe that she loves and takes care of our dog as if he was her own. She has a fenced in yard for play and takes our dog on long, beautiful walks. She is highly responsive and is comfortable with medications, special diets, etc…. Denise is a true gem!”
“This was my first time leaving my dog Pigeon overnight/extended period while I traveled and Pidgie was so happy and tuckered out when I picked him up! He seems like he had an excellent time, maybe even sad to leave his new friends! I had to book an additional extra night last minute due to international travel and they were so so accommodating, always quick to reply, and sent videos and updates along the way.”
“Thank you Sam! She’s our go to for help with our puppy Ruby - Sam is so sweet with her as she takes a while to warm up to new people, she takes very good care of Ruby, reaches out with questions and always follows our sometimes wordy instructions!”
“Jessica and her family were the perfect hosts for our dog. We felt comfortable that our pup was with a nice family who treated her as one of their own. We received regular updates and communication was excellent.”
“Stephanie has taken care of our dog Murphy on two occasions and both times have been positive. You can tell how happy he is to be there and how he is well cared for. It gives us great piece of mind when we are away.”
“We had an excellent experience with Michael from Rover. From the very beginning, he demonstrated outstanding communication by ensuring we brought all the necessary supplies and asking thoughtful questions about our three furbabies' care. He was always responsive and replied to our messages promptly, giving us confidence that our pets were in great hands. During their stay, Michael went above and beyond by sending us daily updates with pictures and messages, which gave both my fiancé and me peace of mind. He also carefully followed all of our care instructions, including cleaning our pets' eyes as requested, showing genuine attention to detail and compassion for their well-being. It was clear that Michael truly cared for our three furbabies and treated them as if they were his own. We greatly appreciated his professionalism, reliability, and dedication. We would highly recommend Michael to anyone looking for a trustworthy and caring pet sitter, and we would not hesitate to book with him again.”
“Marie and her family were incredible with our puppy. He was only 13 weeks at the time so of course we were a little anxious. What a waste of energy! We got texts and pictures every day so we could see how well he was doing. Allowed us to relax and enjoy our time away. Exceeded all of our expectations. Wouldn’t hesitate to use again and would highly recommend Marie to anyone ?❤️”
“Crystal watched our dog and did a fantastic job! She was responsive, flexible, and most importantly caring for our dog while we were away. We would absolutely recommend her and use her again in the future!”
“Sara was the perfect choice for Dory while we were visiting town. She was focused on ensuring she understood Dory’s needs before and during her stay. Dory came home happy and tired… and Sara provided us with great reports during her stay and at pickup. We highly recommend!”
“First time boarding with Randi and it was an incredibly smooth experience. Randi is extremely flexible and was a life saver for when we were away on a multi city driving trip. We were watching the weather in case we needed to abandon our plans and come back home mid trip. Randi was extremely flexible and accommodating and I am so grateful for that. Our dog is a picky eater and is also on some tricky meds…and Randi kept in touch with regular updates. She persevered with attempts to get her to eat both food and meds, until our dog did finally start to eat! Our dog came home happy and healthy! We will definitely board with Randi again!”
“Phoebe was wonderful with my two beagles who can be a handful at times. She got them out multiple times a day to do their business and kept them busy physically. They came home tired from the exercise. I would definitely use her again and totally recommend her to my friends.”

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!

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.
A Meet & Greet is a short introductory meeting between you, your pet, and a sitter. It can take place in person or virtually, although we recommend in-person so that your pet can get to know your sitter 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. Most pet parents and sitters on Rover welcome Meet & Greets because the process can give confidence and peace of mind for service experiences, especially for longer stays or first-time bookings.
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. 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.
Emergency support is available by phone or email in English 24/7. When an incident occurs, we recommend that sitters contact our Trust & Safety team immediately so that they can connect your sitter with a board-certified veterinarian or offer other resources to help.
If a sitter needs to cancel at the last minute, Rover’s reservation protection means our team will work with you to find a suitable replacement as quickly as possible.
