“Maddie was a life saviour, on very short notice she took care of our dog, she updated us while she had our dog and took great care of her…I highly recommend her…”
“This was Allie’s second stay with Luz and Michelle - and they are THE BEST!! I never once worried. They treat Allie like she’s part of their family, communicate regularly with photos and videos, and send her home clean, happy and so well cared for!! I am SO grateful to have found Luz and Michelle! They are extraordinary!”
“Aurora was right at home during her stay and I was worry free! From the moment I met Saiad and he showed us around I knew Aurora would be in good hands. Clean and attentive- making sure to share photos and details of Aurora’s stay. It was just the safe, happy stay we required.”
“Danae was great with our two beagles. From the pictures and videos we received we saw that the boys had a lot of fun. We would definitely recommend Danae for your four legged friends.”
“We were worried that our Laima would have a hard time with separation anxiety, (first time away from us in the 2 yrs since we rescued her) but Rene and her pups made her feel right at home. The pictures she posted spoke volume on how well Laima enjoyed her stay! We hope to use Rene again soon!”
“Jennifer was the absolute best. Our dog had some separation issues that we weren’t aware of. Jennifer understood what was happening and handled it like the pro she is.”
“I am loathe to spread the word about this great host, but Jennifer, James, and Seamus were the perfect caregivers for our dog Evelyn. We met the crew the night before and were very comfortable because of the knowledge that Jennifer had about dog behavior. She watched our dog closely to see how she would interact with Seamus and handled both dogs really well. Seamus was very interested in our dog, Evelyn. After a little bit Seamus and Evelyn calmed down and it became clear that they would become good compatriots in their adventures around Brooklyn. When we dropped Evelyn off first thing in the morning, James appeared to be baking dog treats. Let me repeat that, the dog sitter appeared to be baking dog treats when we dropped our dog off. They were undoubtedly organic. Our New York cynicism was demolished by the hospitality that they showed Evelyn. Jennifer sent us numerous pictures of their exploits. Upon return we picked Evelyn up and she looked completely at home in their house. She wouldn't have wanted to leave except for the fact that she knew that doorman would give her a treat on the way out the door. When Evelyn got back to our apartment she looked totally comfortable and tired from a great weekend with Jennifer, James & Seamus. I would highly recommend this host.”
“Obi came back happy and healthy. He was well taken care of and Maxine was great at sending daily pictures, updates. We definitely were able to take vacation without worrying about Obi. Thanks to Maxine and family for taking care of our lil' guy.”
“Laura was great from the first day we contacted her to the day she brought Caramel back home. She showed us the house, asked all the right questions, replied to our txts, sent pictures, super punctual and - most importantly- super caring with our Caramel. She is one of the best sitters in Rover for sure.”
“Really grateful to have found them. They were able to take care of my pup last minute and Sophie had an amazing time. I will definitely be using them again. Highly recommend!”
“Jocelyn is a wonderful dog sitter! She shared pictures and videos of our dog every day we were away. She is very responsive to texts. We would definitely leave our dog with her again when we are away 😊”
“We’re so thank to have found Nandita! She’s very professional, her home and backyard are a perfect set up for dogs, and she’s a very sweet person!! We appreciated the pictures and videos she sent while we were away and she truly pampered our pup during his stay. Highly recommend!!”
“Scooter had the BEST holiday week with Tabitha and her family. It’s nerve-racking leaving your dog somewhere new for the first time, especially for a full week. We got so many picture updates of scooter having a blast and playing throughout the week and he even made a new doggie friend which can be hit or miss for him. We will happily send him to her family again anytime they are up for hosting. Highly recommend!!”
“Craig took excellent of my dog Tucker. Craig’s large fenced in back yard was so thrilling to Tucker that he was very tired after the visit. I will be using Craig again on a regular basis. Thanks so much Craig”
“Arsenii was wonderful with my dog Genevieve while we had to be away for a family’s memorial. He was always kind, understanding, and sent me updates with pictures everyday without me having to ask. He also brought all her things (bed, food, toys, etc) back to my car when I picked her up, which was so generous. Genevieve also had the best time with them, and was very happy and relaxed. I’ll definitely be asking Arsenii to help out again in the future. Fully recommend him!!”
“We're so glad that we found Tanya! Daisy had a wonderful time, and I had a rare opportunity to meet a friend for a nice evening in New York City! We will definitely be calling on Tanya again. Highly recommended!”
“Ari and his family took wonderful care of Freddie while we were away. He came back happy, healthy, and clearly had a great time playing with their kids. We really appreciated the regular updates and photos throughout the week, which gave us complete peace of mind. We would absolutely use their services in the future.”

Pet parents share their Rover experiences - Thornwood
First time boarding with Randi and it was an incredibly smooth experience. Randi is extremely flexible and was a life saver for when we were away on a multi city driving trip. We were watching the weather in case we needed to abandon our plans and come back home mid trip. Randi was extremely flexible and accommodating and I am so grateful for that. Our dog is a picky eater and is also on some tricky meds…and Randi kept in touch with regular updates. She persevered with attempts to get her to eat both food and meds, until our dog did finally start to eat! Our dog came home happy and healthy! We will definitely board with Randi again!

There are 12,824 sitters on Rover for Pet Boarding in Thornwood. About 88% of Thornwood sitters can respond to requests in under 60 minutes. Whether you’re planning ahead for holidays, need last-minute care, or need same-day coverage for an urgent trip, you can message multiple sitters at once to find available care.
Once you find the right match, you can arrange a Meet & Greet to ensure they are a perfect fit for your pet’s personality before confirming.
If you would like updates while you’re away, you can discuss with your sitter how many or how frequent you’d like those updates to be.

You can message your sitter at any time through the app and our support team is available 24/7 by email or chat if you have concerns.
The personalized, in-home nature of pet care through Rover can mean more individual attention for your pet.
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 pet, 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.
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 .
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.
By discussing your pet's health history early, you’re adding a layer of confidence for you and your sitter before the booking begins.
Emergency support is available by phone or email in English 24/7. When an incident occurs, we recommend that sitters contact our Trust & Safety team immediately so that they can connect your sitter with a board-certified veterinarian or offer other resources to help.
If a sitter needs to cancel at the last minute, Rover’s reservation protection means our team will work with you to find a suitable replacement as quickly as possible.
