“Hazard took amazing care of my two cats. She sent daily photos and videos and even cute report cards. You can tell the cats were well cared for because they did not appear scared or anxious, she even had a whole room full of toys and scratches for them to feel at home.”
“Katelyn was wonderful! She watched our dog Phoebe for 5 days and took such great care of her! Katelyn was very communicative and sent us lots of pictures, Phoebe was very well taken care of and came home tired and happy. We will definitely be reaching out to Katelyn for all future trips — thank you so much for everything!!”
“I am so happy we found Apryl! She treated my fur babies (3Poodles) while we were away with such great care. She was able to take my dogs with last minutes notice. Apryl sent daily pictures, videos and responded to our texts quickly. This made me able to truly relax on my vacation. I highly recommend Apryl and we will definitely be using her again. My dogs loved her too. Our boys got along great with her dog as well.”
“Emma was fantastic. This was my first experience leaving my 4 month old golden. My golden is young and full of energy, the sitter needs to be special and Emma certainly was. I highly recommend Emma and will ask her again in the future.”
“This was our first time using Rover. I was very reluctant to use a person I did not know, or friends didn't know. However, I am so glad I took the chance with a 5 day/overnight in Sarah's home. It's a relief she only takes one animal at a time since our dog doesn't like other dogs. At the meet and greet, Sarah asked many questions to get a feel for Milo (eating & bathroom habits, walking, sleeping habits etc...) To start, her home is absolutely immaculate. I received a daily update with pictures on how our dog was adjusting & doing overall. Milo was displaying some quirky behaviors which Sarah reported right away & thought was cute/funny. She was very accepting, flexible in many ways, and an absolute delight to talk with. It is apparent she is a dog lover! Upon pick up, Milo was happy and all his belongings were packed & ready to go. We plan on using Sarah again for our next trip, if she's available.”
About: I’ve had a dog in my life since I was 7. I’ve always had a great relationship with them. Any new environment I go to I get to know the dogs first. My friends always point out the special relationship I have with them. I’ve taken care of friends dogs throught the years too. About 3 years ago I found a puppy on the street and raised him to be the good boy you see on my profile picture. I am very comfortable with dogs and understand them very well. I hope you trust me with your little friend. I am currently away from home for a few months so for now none. Usually everyday. I take my dog most places I go with me and make sure to let him run around and let out the crazy high amounts of energy he has haha I’m living with my mother here. She loves animals and is excited of the prospect of furry friends coming over. We have a fenced yard with a pool. I’ll also be taking them for walks regularly. At the house we’ll just be hanging out together!
“I could not have found a better family to care for our boy diesel while we were away. They loved him like their own, sent pictures and updates. Such a wonderful family. Would 100000% recommend them and use them again.”
“Judyana was the perfect dog sitter! She communicated quickly and was patient with my hyper dog. She sent me pictures and updates. Her dog also got along with mine which was awesome because they can play together. I will definitely be booking with her again in the future. I highly recommend her for other dog owners who need someone reliable and responsible.”
“This was my first time using Rover to board my cat for 10 days and Hayley’s flexibility and responsiveness made it so easy!! She was absolutely great and I would happily leave my cat with her again—she was so good with him and sent lots of pictures to let me know he was having a good time :)”
“So pleased with our experience! This was our first time leaving our new puppy. Anner did a great job caring for her. He was responsive with communication and pics. Will definitely use him again.”
“Ginia was absolutely fantastic! She sent videos and pictures so often that we felt we were there with our pup. You can tell she really loves your dog like her own and she even said our Joey was now "part of her pack". Would not think twice to have her watch our little guy again. We felt so comfortable and at ease on our vacation since we knew he was in such good hands!”
About: As a longtime dog lover and devoted dog mom to Duke, my beagle–English setter mix, I understand how important it is to have someone trustworthy caring for your pet. I’m responsible, patient, attentive, and comfortable with walks, feeding, playtime, and giving dogs plenty of affection. I’ll care for your dog with the same attention and kindness I give my own. My schedule is flexible, especially during weekday school hours. I’m available for dog walking, drop-in visits, and pet sitting, with some evening and weekend availability when arranged in advance. I carefully follow each owner’s instructions regarding feeding, walks, medications, and household routines. I prioritize safety, supervision, and communication, and I’ll provide regular updates and photos so you can feel comfortable while your pet is in my care.
“We left our yellow lab with Joanne. She sent us pictures through out the day. He came home happy and tired from playing all day. I would definitely leave our dog with Joanne again!!!”
About: I have been watching and taking care of friends/family dogs for years and have raised my own since he was a 8 weeks old. I can clip nails, bath give ear/eye treatments if ever needed. I work remotely from home for the most part and would only accept to care if I am home that day. I have a 30 lb Klee Kai mix at home who would accompany your pet on walks/play time and naps. Walks would be about every 2-3 hours for potty breaks. For extra outdoor play time we could go out on the large patio on my floor. Pets are allowed to hang out and nap on couch
“The absolute best!!! Anastasiia went above and beyond with our dog Oliver. She took him on walks, hiking and to the dog park and sent us the most beautiful pictures throughout the day! She is so sweet and I can tell our dog loved his stay! Don’t look any further…Book Anastasiia!! She is the best dog sitter we have ever dealt with!”
“Jamie was great! We left our 9 month old puppy with her for 10 days and she took really good care of him. She sent us lots of updates and pictures so we knew he was doing ok. Our puppy also got along great with her dog. Overall very happy with the care she provided. We will definitely book her again.”
“I’m very happy for leaving my dog with Laurie and her family Woody seems to be very happy and they taking care of him super well Tku so much and we will see you soon”
“Jay was a LIFE SAVER! We needed a sitter last minute since our old one was moving away, and Jay welcomed our Nixon girl with open arms. He sent pictures and updates during her overnight and we can tell she loved him. He is our go-to now for a sitter and we couldn't be happier. Thank you Jay!”

Pet parents share their Rover experiences - Stony Brook
My dogs Bella and Bailey were in amazing hands with Rachel, Henrik and their children. They treated my dogs like they were their own from the moment they entered their home. My dogs are 14 years old and have some special needs and Rachel was up to the task! She even cooked rice for Bailey when he had an upset stomach! I would definitely recommend them to anyone who needs to have their dogs taken care of. My dogs got spoiled and would love to visit again in the future! Thanks for everything :)

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.
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. Cats may be required to have Feline Viral Rhinotracheitis and Rabies up to date.
