About: Hi! My name is Kate and I am a physician assistant student at Pace University! I recently graduated from George Washington University and moved to Westchester to go back to school! I love dogs and am always the one to watch my family and Friends’ dogs! I am very good at caring for dogs of all sizes, and I am never intimidated by any breed. I will make sure that your dog is getting all the love, care, and attention that they need. Back home in Buffalo NY, I have a 2 year old wire hair fox terrier named Otis who I miss very much! Looking forward to meeting some of your dogs! I am currently a full time student who spends most of my time studying, perfect opportunity to study and care for a dog at the same time! It’s very exciting each time I board a new dog for me and everyone around me! I promise your pet will get the most love and attention possible during their stay!
“Jessica was wonderful! Very responsible, flexible and she left my house spotless! My two shy rescue kitties quickly warmed up to her and spent the 2 weeks cuddling and playing with Jessica. Highly recommend!”

“Belkys is the best! She took my dog to the park and was mindful when taking her on walks on really hot days. I’m glad my dog had playmates while staying with her, she looked really happy in her pics and that made us feel good. I would definitely recommend her and we will be boarding with her again.”

She understood that we have some pretty specific protocols for Lino (such as medication and greetings) and followed our requests perfectly. We wouldn’t hesitate to board Lino with her again. Thanks Liana!”
“We have a trip planned for two weeks in May and wanted to have Lola go to Arianne and her family overnight to see how it worked out. Lola got comfortable immediately with her family and with Lily her sweet dog. They slept together and always well.”

“Margaret took excellent care of our senior dog while we were traveling. She was very attentive to his needs and made him feel very comfortable while we were away. She even graciously agreed to extend his stay for a couple of days when our flight home was canceled. I highly recommend her services!”
“I’m so glad we found Tina. Kallie who can be skeptical about unfamiliar situations seemed to take to her and her daughter right away. Since we rarely leave her for any length of time, we were so relieved that her stay worked out so well. Tina went beyond the call of duty - keeping us updated and sending pictures often, even cleaning Kallie’s eyes and ears. Thanks for everything Tina, and I’m sure anyone would be happy to have their dog stay with you Taffy and Mike Rodell”

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.
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.
