“Michelle was wonderful. I have two Yorkies that love everyone but each other. She handled them with a breeze. She was excellent with picture updates. The care provided by Michelle was awesome and gave me great peace of mind. I look forward to bringing the girls back. Thanks again for the excellent service.”
About: Dogs are our whole world. I grew up taking care of dogs, I have spent years baby sitting dogs, and now I have a dog of my own. I work from home so my schedule and availability is open. I have a spacious home for your dog to run around in as well as a yard perfect for potty breaks or playtime. My schedule is very flexible so I have the ability to give full attention to your dog. I can take them on potty breaks, walks, and have play time as needed. I have a fully fenced and spacious yard that your dog can run around in. Inside my home is also spacious for playtime or running around. My home is puppy proofed and safe for puppies and adult dogs.
“Julia was terrific! She and Bailey hit it off right away. Got a bunch of pics with Bailey out for a walk, playing with toys and a restful night sleep. Will use Julia again!”
About: I’ve grown up with dogs and animals my whole life - 31 years at this point. Ive had about 10 dogs throughout my life and have always helped with taking care of them. I’ve also helped train, walk, bathe, and groom dogs of friends and family. I am super comfortable with all types of dogs. I am very good at sensing animal behavior- sensing their body language and knowing how to alleviate any type of anxiety or reactivity, as well as working with them to build their confidence. I currently work part time locally, and part time at home so my availability is very flexible. I can be available at any time including weekends & holidays with notice. At home I have a nice size backyard that is fenced in with two dogs as well. I have a lot of toys to keep them entertained. At clients home I am very engaged. I can help with training and/or feeding your dogs, and whatever else may be needed. I have a very calm energy which is helps with building dogs’ trusts.
“Juliana was such a great fit for my fur baby. I had never been separated from tiny (gsd) since she has been with me and I was worried about her separation anxiety . We did a meet n greet before booking and Juliana was so calm and patient with my baby. Tiny quickly became comfortable with her . I also loved how Juliana kept me updated with pictures , videos and communicated throughout tiny stay. I would absolutely book again”
“Adriana was a fantastic, caring, and kind dog-mom to our little nugget. She went above and beyond with every possible opportunity - meeting up for hand-off, making sure that Hugo had adequate walks, snuggles, treats, and food. Communication throughout the trip was excellent - lots of check-ins and photos to let us know he was doing okay. The highest recommendation you can give a sitter on Rover is repeat business, and she'll be the first phone call I make the next time we need someone to keep an eye on our little dude. Twenty out of five stars.”
“Amy and her family were very welcoming and loving towards our pup. We wholeheartedly trust her and will be requesting her services again. She was very communicative while watching our dog.”
“Aritra is always so good with pimento. He gives me daily updates and makes sure pimento gets the exercise he needs! I’m very appreciative Aritra is so caring! He’s the best!”
“My dogs have stayed with Jenny a few times and they are always in good hands. This most recent stay we were late picking them up and she was very gracious and understanding about it.”
“Dominique is wonderful, kind, communicative, super responsive, and a joy to work with. We have a nervous, 95 lb pup and I’m a nervous dog mom - Dominique took so much time to make us both feel comfortable for Saint’s first boarding - sending tons of pictures and always staying in touch. Dominique also walks Saint once a week (so we could make sure our nervous pup was prepared for this boarding) and Saint absolutely adores them. Saint almost never gets excited to see “strangers”, but when Dominique comes to pick her up, Saint thinks she’s hanging out with her best friends. There’s days Saint knows Dominique will be coming for her walk, and she’ll sit by the door waiting, given how Saint is super shy, seeing her look forward to a friend coming over like this makes me so happy. Dominique knows dogs, with a background in dog training, they knew exactly how to make Saint feel comfortable in no time at all (Dominique was “friends” with Saint within five minutes of her first walk!!). We would recommend Dominique without hesitation to anyone in the area.”
“Sam was amazing! We had never left Penelope with any sitter and Sam made us feel very comfortable and confident. She sent us pictures as well which made us feel at ease. We definitely plan to have Penelope stay with Sam again in the future. Thank you, Sam!”
“My Claire stayed with Samantha. She gave Claire space to settle down and get comfortable in a environment that was not home. I felt at ease leaving Claire with Samantha. I received pictures even it though it was slightly over a 24 stay. I would totally recommend Samantha!”
“We had a fantastic experience with Yogita. She took amazing care of my pet Circuit and kept me updated the entire time. You can tell she truly loves animals. I highly recommend her to anyone looking for a reliable and caring pet sitter!”
“Andrew was absolutely wonderful with our Roxie. She is a 7 month old Maltipoo and Andrew handled all the puppy-ness so well. We received constant updates and pictures, and when our flight was delayed to get home he was more than accommodating. When we picked her up, we could tell she had been loved on the whole week we were gone. So appreciate all his hard work! We would definitely use Andrew again!”
About: I've taken care of dogs since I was 16. First it was a Yorkie (my family's little dog) then I took care of a pitbull and other small dogs. I’m currently not working So I have a lot of time to play and spend with your dog (Spending my day with your dog to make him/her comfortable I have a big yard and I also really like doing greats activities and training them.the most important for me is that they feel like in their home
About: I'm a very caring person who has two dogs of my own. they get a lot of attention and are always out for a walk I'm also always giving snacks out their able to relax in the rooms their able to play with other dogs my dogs are friendly which makes most dogs comfortable to play with them. I love playing with the animals. I also enjoy petting. I can give then baths and do their nails. I'm also able to shave them if you would like. I've had pets all my life so I am able to deal with pets. I feel like pets should be treated like humans because they have feelings just like we do. Many people don't understand animals but I think it's easy all they want is love and attention. I’m currently free everyday of the week at any time so I can work with the schedule you choose to provide me with it’s no issue I don’t have a fenced yard but the little babies will go for a walk three or 4 times through out the day so that’s a plus.
“This was the first time being away from our dog and Nicole did a great job at making him and my family feel at ease! She regularly kept me updated with messages and pictures and took very good care of him. Will definitely use her again!”
“Iwona was very attuned to my dog’s emotional needs and was always communicative and responsive. I wouldn’t doubt booking boarding with her again the next time I’m out of town.”

Once again, Vanessa is the absolute best! Each time I have left my dogs in her care, I have felt completely at ease knowing they are being loved, well-cared for, and have playmates to keep them company while they are apart from their family. She’s communicative (always keeping us updated with the cutest pictures and videos), patient, and goes out of her way to make sure all bases are covered when you have any particular needs for your pups. Being away on a busy holiday weekend, we got stuck in even worse traffic than expected and were late to pick up. She was so understanding and patient which relieved any extra stress we had. She’s truly a saint, and her family is lovely as well. I will be sure to recommend her to any of my loved ones who need a sitter and you can rest assured knowing she’ll take the best care of your pets, too.
Joanna is an amazing sitter to our pups, as always. She accepted a very last minute request when my newborn decided to arrive to this world a little early, and was very understanding and flexible for us to extend the pups’ stay when I had complications from labor that kept me in the hospital longer than expected. We are very grateful to have found her here on rover. She is truly a gem and the pups absolutely love staying with her!
Excellent experience, from first communication on rover, to the meet and greet, drop off and pick up. Sonia and her son Kenny sent updates and pics everyday. My dog Levi gets a little nervous with new people but they were so patient and loving, he settled in so quickly. When we picked him up, he was so calm, almost seemed like he wanted to stay longer, hahaa. So glad we found them on Rover, we will definitely be using them in the future and recommending to friends and family. Do not hesitate to book with them.
Farah was beyond amazing with our cat! We needed a last minute booking and she was super accommodating and kind. She went above and beyond to make sure our cat was comfortable, and she sent tons of videos and updates. I truly appreciate her and her care of our cat! I can’t wait to book with Farah again!
We had an absolutely amazing experience with Grainne! Teddy was immediately comfortable the moment they met, and it’s completely obvious that Grainne has a true passion for caring for dogs. He had a wonderful vacation of his own, and the photo updates she sent while we were away completely put our minds at ease—the kids loved seeing them! We will definitely book with Grainne again
Ivana was wonderful with Sunny. She is very caring, patient, understanding, and has a very calm, relaxed demeanor that made us feel comfortable right away. Sunny showed some separation anxiety on the first day, and Ivana was extremely patient with her and gave her the time she needed to settle in and feel comfortable. Ivana also did a great job keeping us updated with messages and pictures throughout Sunny’s stay, which really helped put our minds at ease while we were away. It was obvious that she genuinely cared about Sunny and wanted her to feel safe and happy. We felt very comfortable leaving Sunny in her care and would definitely use Ivana again. Highly recommended!
Lisa took such amazing care of Ruffles while we were away for 3 weeks. She sent daily updates with photos and videos that really put our minds at ease while we were miles away. We will absolutely be using Lisa again for our future needs and highly recommend her for your fur babies!
Thank You So Much, Ellen, for providing such wonderful care for Ozzy while we were away! Ellen bought fruits for Ozzy when we forgot to bring extra healthy snacks! It was truly a blessing that Ozzy got to stay at Ellen's meticulously clean house with the enchanting backyard!
We couldn’t have asked for a better pet sitter! From the moment we met her, we felt completely comfortable leaving our fur baby in her care. She was reliable, attentive, and genuinely loving. We received regular updates and photos which gave us so much peace of mind while we were away. Thank you, Grace!

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.

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.
