About: What sets us apart is how much we genuinely love dogs. We are dog parents ourselves, so we understand how much trust it takes — and how worrying it can feel — to leave your dog in someone else’s care. For us, dog sitting is more than just feeding and walking. We love spending time with them, playing with them, and making sure they feel comfortable, safe, and loved while you’re away. Because we know how much owners miss and worry about their dogs, we always try to send photo updates in the morning and evening so you can see how your pup is doing and feel at ease. We have hands-on experience caring for different breeds, including Samoyeds, Weimaraners, Shetland Sheepdogs, and Golden Retrievers. Since we have friendly and social dogs of our own, we carefully supervise all interactions and focus on creating a safe and positive environment for every dog. We follow each dog’s routine closely and give them the attention, care, and love they deserve. When dogs are in my care, I keep a close eye on them and make sure they are not left alone. I give them plenty of attention, walks, playtime, and rest based on their individual needs. My husband and I both truly love dogs, and our own dogs are also very social and enjoy having other dogs around. Caring for dogs is the main reason I became a Rover sitter, and we treat every dog with genuine care and attention, just as we would want someone to care for our own dogs. I carefully follow each dog’s routine, including feeding schedules, walks, and rest time. As a dog owner myself, I understand how important safety and trust are, and I also know how much pet parents can worry while they are away. That’s why I make sure to share regular updates on how their dog is doing throughout the stay. My goal is to make every dog feel safe, comfortable, loved, and cared for like a member of our family.
“Very friendly and nice couple, they have dogs of their own so they know what it’s like to have a dog. Our pup had a great time with them from what we can tell, no issues. They are very accommodating and are flexible with pick up/drop off time within reason. Would recommend and would use again.”
“Catherine was fantastic! She was always quick to respond whenever I asked for an update, which made the whole experience stress free. We’ll definitely be booking her again!”
“Jocelyn took lovely care of our two dogs for a day while we went into the city - she sent plenty of pics of them having fun and they came home tired and happy :) drop off and pick up was also super easy!”
“Katherine did an amazing job with Presley! Presley is an anxious little pup but took well to Katherine. Katherine sent us pictures and kept us posted throughout her stay. We will definitely be using Katherine again in the future!”
“Jolly sitter, Ms. Lee is an high- level expert to take care of dog as a dog mom. Already jolly miss her. I'm so jealous for her. Even she made me relived to send pictures & videos. Next occasions for Jolly, I will choose her again! Thanks lee & Rover. You are my saviour!”
“Our new Boston Terrier puppy, Frankie, had his first stay with Hope, and we couldn’t have been happier! Hope is a pleasure to deal with, is clearly an avid dog lover and pretty much something of a “dog whisperers.” You could tell from the moment we dropped Frankie off until we picked him up that he would be in great hands. She creates a completely stress-free, comfortable environment and has a wonderful large fenced-in yard in which Frankie had plenty of room to play or just “hang out.” Hope’s attention to every detail of Frankie’s care inside her welcoming home put us completely at ease with leaving our puppy with her. Frankie wants to know when he’s going back....Well, he was happy to hear that we re-booked Hope for multiple future stays! Thanks so much, Hope! A unique, caring and extremely friendly environment. Can’t say enough about the total experience. Highly, highly recommend!”
“This was our first time putting our Choco in day care. We were extremely nervous given he is a new dog and we were unsure about his behavior around other dogs. However, Michelangelo was extremely professional and introduced his dogs to Choco, they had such a wonderful time together and put my mind at ease knowing he was in good hands!”
“So happy I found Evelyn for weekly day care! They've been soo accommodating and flexible for me. Excellent communicators and always send pics of my Aussie looking so at home. Highly recommend!”
“It was Zuni’s first daycare time with Robert. She came back happy and relaxed (and seems like she made new friends). He sent photos regularly. It was great first day! Highly recommend Robert.”
“Andrea was great with Mochi and we appreciated her last minute availability for a same day booking. We got updates throughout his stay and she was easily reachable. Mochi came back to us both happy and healthy.”
“Tracy is on top of his game. Communication and care for our pup was thoughtful and clearly executed. Bear is a covid pup and anxious in new environments, but she quickly warmed up to Tracy. Bear looks forward to her next visit!”
“My wife and I were very thankful with Chialing as she took our baby Taco on a very short notice and took care of him wonderfully. She kept us posted of his activity and send us pictures through out the day. I highly recommend her services.”
“Diana was great and so patient with my dog. My dog was very nervous and didn't want to go with her but she was so kind and loving, she went with her. She spent the whole day with her and kept me updated throughout the day. I would highly recommend her. In fact, my dog is going back two more days this week to Diana.”
About: I’ve been a dog lover since I was six years old, growing up with pets back home in Guatemala. Over the years, I’ve cared for all kinds of dogs—big, small, playful, and shy—and I’ve gained experience with everything from daily walks to giving medication. I currently don’t have pets of my own, which means I can give your dog my full attention. You can expect lots of walks, playtime, love, and regular photo and video updates. I live in a calm, pet-friendly environment and I’m home all the time, so overnight care is never a problem. I’m here to make your dog feel safe, happy, and right at home! I work part-time in the mornings and am free the rest of the day, and I’m available to board your dog anytime that works for you. Since I work nearby, I can easily accommodate your schedule for drop-offs and pick-ups. I spend most of my time at home, giving plenty of attention, playtime, and companionship. I especially enjoy taking dogs on walks—it’s a great way for them to get exercise and have fun. Pet care fits naturally into my routine because I love being active with animals and making sure they feel happy and loved all day long. I live in a calm, pet-friendly environment where your dog can feel safe, relaxed, and loved. My home is free of harmful plants and other hazards, I always keep the space clean and comfortable. I have a big yard where I can walk and play with your dog throughout the day, giving them plenty of exercise and attention. I take time to get to know each dog’s personality and needs so they feel right at home. Your pet’s safety and well-being are my top priorities, and I’m happy to follow any routines that help them feel secure. I know trust matters, so I always keep pet parents updated with photos, videos, and clear communication.
“Our dog always has the best time with Aeli and her dogs! She sends so many pictures and was able to watch her on Thanksgiving which was so helpful. Ruby can’t wait to go back!”
“Omar is AMAZING!! Walter felt at ease from the first moment they met. He walked right in as if he has known Omar all his life. He looked forward to seeing him every morning. Omar kept me informed throughout the day which I truly love and appreciate. Cannot say enough great things about Omar. 100% recommend!”
About: I’ve had dogs all my life in my family. My experience is in medium sized breeds (French bulldogs, English bulldogs, and boxers) but can watch smaller dogs as well. I’m very attentive, organized and can provide very good throughout the day when I work from home. I’ve had personal pets outside dogs as well and have a lot of experience going to Westwood vet for any emergencies. Comfort and care are my priorities. Pet care fits well into my current schedule. I’m remote every weekday and usually have large pockets or time to devote to care as I’m usually ahead of work. For day care I can provide my personal bedroom for rest on my bed and my living room where I work. Comfort on the couch overlooking a busy and happening road through a large bay window. Long walks throughout the neighborhood which is very safe.

Sitters on Rover can offer flexible scheduling, so you can coordinate times that work best for you and your pet—whether that’s early drop-off or later pick-up to match your Tappan commute.
If your schedule changes, it’s best to let your sitter know through the app as early as possible. Many sitters can adjust pick-up and drop-off times when needed.
Think of doggy day care as your dog’s fun, supervised play date that happens to fit into your workday. Day care through Rover takes place in a real home. This offers a calmer and more personalized environment for your pup.
A typical day can include companionship, one-on-one attention, and same day pick-up and drop-off. Many sitters can also offer structured routines and exercise throughout the day. For recurring, weekly day care, sitters will include photo updates so you can see your dog in their element.
Here are tips for finding the ideal day care fit for your dog:
- For some small dogs: In-home day care can be the perfect fit. Look for sitters whose "can host" section only lists dogs weighing 0–7 kilograms and/or 7–18 kilograms. During your Meet & Greet, ask about play areas based on dog size and energy level.
- For high-energy dogs: The ideal doggy day care can offer scheduled breaks and outdoor spaces or activities. You can also find sitters who host multiple dogs to satisfy your pup’s socializing needs.
- For dogs who prefer human-only companionship: Use the filters "Doesn't own a dog" and "Only accepts one pet at a time" to find the right care.
Play groups can be an option when you book with a day care sitter through Rover. Many sitters do host a small number of dogs at the same time. Smaller dog packs are generally safer, more fun, and ideal for dogs who enjoy playtime but also want to relax throughout the day. When looking for your dog’s pack, check the sitter’s profile to see if they "Accept multiple clients" or have their own dogs. Then during the Meet & Greet, you can see whether your dog is a good fit for their social circle!
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.
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 .
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 dog, 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.
Yes, Rover is well-suited for finding sitters who can care for your pet within 24 hours. With 10,988 sitters in Tappan, 87% respond to messages in under an hour.
You can message multiple sitters simultaneously to find the fastest available match. If you need care today or tomorrow, you can look for sitters with a "calendar last updated" notice on their profiles.
Sitters on Rover set their own cancellation policy, which you can find on their profile under their calendar availability.
Cancelling before a booking begins and before the sitter's cutoff time qualifies you for a full refund. Same-day cancellations for walks, day care, and drop-ins follow the full refund policy. Otherwise, for dog boarding and house sitting, you will receive a 50% refund for the first seven days of the booking and a 100% refund for the remaining days when you cancel the same day a booking should begin.
If your sitter needs to cancel within seven days of the booking's start date, then our reservation protection will kick in. This means our support team works with you to find a replacement sitter.
