“I had such a great experience with Lieb. He took amazing care of my dog and went above and beyond to keep me updated. I received lots of pictures and videos throughout the stay, which really helped me feel at ease knowing she was safe, happy, and well cared for. I wouldn’t hesitate to book with him again! Highly recommend.”
“When my dog sitter fell through last minute before the long weekend, I was scrambling and I turned to Rover. Monica and Kelvin were available, very communicative and my dog came home relaxed and happy! Would definitely re-book.”
“We had a very positive experience from start to finish, beginning with scheduling and completing the meet and greet, as well as the smooth drop-off and pick-up process. Lucy truly enjoyed her stay with Kimberly and Tom, and she came back happy and clearly well cared for. We will definitely return for our future boarding needs. Thank you for making the entire process so pleasant!”
“We left both of our dogs for a weekend stay with Sriram and Rekha and they did an amazing job taking care of them. We got plenty of pictures and updates. The dogs came back very happy and tired from all the playing. Will definitely reach out to them in the future for other stays.”
About: I have had pets since the age of 8. I have also cared for my cousins' pets when he goes on vacation for over 10 years sparking my interest in pet care. There have been very few times in my life that I have not been caring for pets. Feeding, walking and most importantly providing love, care and quality time. In addition, my wife previously worked as a dog groomer and provided me with additional knowledge of pet care and grooming. I have a great love for animals and if you love what you do it is not a job but an experience. I am currently working from home, so I have plenty of for care, love and attention. Any specific request can be meet as care will be the main focus of my day. I have large back yard with a lot of space for your pets to enjoy. The would be walked under supervision due to the yard being unfenced. Any specific needs can be accommodated your request.
“A very honest review: Celeste is absolutely wonderful. I am military and I had to leave on a mission overseas last minute, and she accommodated my needs and my dog’s needs for an extended stay. I will definitely use her services again, she’s a wonderful pet sitter, she’s very communicative and sent me pictures of my dog and an update daily while I was overseas. Her and her family all love pets and are very caring, this shows as my dog gets very excited to see her, her family, and her pets. She treated my dog as if it was her own.”
“Ruby had the time of her life at Brittny's. She was SMILING in photos Brittny sent us. Brittny has a great home with an amazing backyard for the dogs to play in. Her family dog was a great sibling for Ruby. I think Ruby misses Benji! Thank you Brittny and your whole family for taking such good care of our girl. Will definitely board Ruby with you again in the future if possible!”
“Carolina took amazing care of our 1 year old cavapoo! She has a beautiful dog Daisy who was so friendly and playful and other dogs for her to play with too. We got daily updates while our dog was in her care - with pictures too!!! Her whole family was so wonderful - we would definitely book Carolina again when we travel!”
“Deborah and her family were amazing with our 8 month old corgi pup. We had never left him overnight before and were nervous how it would go, but he felt right at home with Deborah. It gave us peace of mind knowing that she is a retired vet tech and presently trains dogs. We knew that Captain would be in great hands and that she could handle his sensitivities. He loved it so much that I think he was sad to leave. We will absolutely be booking again!”
“Sandra was a great sitter! She was incredibly caring and attentive to all of Duke's needs. She kept us informed on his stay with them and sent lots of pictures. She was very friendly and reliable. Duke had a great time! Highly recommended!”
“We had such a great experience with Michaelangelo! We had a last-minute need for someone to watch our almost 2-year-old Boxer, Walter, who is VERY energetic and has some separation anxiety. Michaelangelo said yes without hesitation, which we really appreciated. He has two Pomeranians of his own and a great fenced-in yard where Walter could run around and get all of his energy out. Michaelangelo sent us pictures and updates every day, which really helped us feel comfortable knowing Walter was doing well. He was also very quick to respond anytime I had a question. Walter had a great time and came home happy! We’re so happy we found Michaelangelo and would definitely recommend him to our family and friends. We will absolutely use him again! ❤️”
“Karalyn was fantastic with Cookie! Booking through Rover was seamless, and her communication throughout the stay was wonderful. We loved receiving daily updates and pictures, which gave us total peace of mind. Cookie was happy and well cared for—we’ll definitely be booking with Karalyn again!”
“Lisa was so loving and caring to Jupi during his stay. She made sure he was never alone and took the extra step to make sure he ate his food given he recently has started requiring add-ons to his regular dry food. She regularly sent me pictures and was always very responsive. Thank you for taking care of Jupi, we will definitely bring him back.”
“I have never entrusted Dexter's care to anyone outside my immediate family, but after our initial meet and greet with Cathy at her home my mind was completely at ease. You can tell that she truly loves and cares for animals and the house is very dog-friendly. She sent me an update each of the two days I was gone, and a photo of Dexter hanging out in the backyard. Highly recommended!”
“Sienna was absolutely phenomenal while watching my German Shepherd for two weeks. From the moment we met her, I knew my dog was in great hands. She went above and beyond every single day, taking her on multiple walks, letting her play in the stream, and making sure she stayed active, happy, and loved. One of the things I appreciated most was the constant communication. Sienna regularly sent updates, photos, and messages, which gave me complete peace of mind while I was away. It was obvious that she genuinely cared about my dog and treated her like one of her own rather than just another pet she was watching. Her husband was also wonderful, and together they made an amazing team. They were incredibly kind, welcoming, and easy to work with throughout the entire experience. I truly couldn’t have asked for a better pet sitter. I have absolutely zero complaints and would recommend Sienna without hesitation to anyone looking for someone trustworthy, caring, and reliable to watch their pet. I will definitely be booking with her again in the future.”

Frequently asked questions about Rover
Rover is the largest marketplace for local pet care. Whether you're looking for pet sitters, dog walkers, or house sitters who specialize in pet sitting, you can narrow your search by entering your ZIP code to find sitters within walking distance in your neighborhood.
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.
Depending on the sitter, their home environment, and your dog’s needs, daily exercise 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 Sterling Forest home-away-from-home, 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 Sterling Forest.
<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 Sterling Forest 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 , 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 .
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.
