“This is our second time booking with Judy for a 2 week stay. My dog didn’t even look back and was excited to see her again when he was dropped off. 😀 She is great!!! Highly recommend.”
“Dew is the most kind, und loves my dog like he belongs to her. I am so relieved he is with her as I am in bed with a broken ankle. I know he is so well loved and taken care of.”
“We are a repeat customer of Carrigan's. Selena always seems to have a good time when she stays over. She's happy, energetic and doesn't really make the mad dash for the car that she sometimes does when she stays with other sitters. I would definitely have her stay with Carrigan again.”
“Karen is a wonderful dog sitter, she gave our baby so much love and attention. She followed her schedule and it looked like she was right at home! She communicated throughout the days and took so many excellent pictures. Roxy misses her already!!”
“Laura was awesome. She was communicative and thoughtful. Left my pup overnight with her. Being that it was our first time, We were of course nervous. I couldn’t ask for a better experience. My pup now stops on her street corner waiting to go to her house <3”
“Our boy has a great time with Cristina! He loves playing in the yard and snuggling up with some blankets at her place. She’s super communicative and takes amazing pictures of him. Highly recommend!”
About: I dog sat for the same family for 2 years during their family vacations. I’ve taken care of dogs and cats I love all animals and would love to care for yours ! I work part time during the week and I am also a student, my weekends are usually free or mornings before 12 during the week. I live in a spacious townhouse with six other girls who are all animal lovers, so your pet will get lots of love, attention, and company during their stay! There are stairs throughout the townhouse, but I’m happy to accommodate your pet based on their individual needs. We don’t have a fenced-in yard, but there is plenty of space nearby for walks, outdoor time, and bathroom breaks. I don’t currently have a crate in my home, so if your pet is crate-trained or requires one, you would need to provide their crate for their stay. My main priority is making sure your pet feels safe, comfortable, and at home while they’re with me!
“Christine was amazing! She communicates well and timely, sent photos while we were away and kept us up-to-date even regarding our Lucy’s rough first night. She’s lovely, caring, accommodating, and flexible. Strongly recommend and would rebook again without hesitation.”
“Mike is amazing. I needed to board my 10 1/2 year old beagle , Kobe on short notice. Within minutes , Mike responded to my request and he was flexible in his schedule . Throughout Kobe’s stay, I received numerous updates from Mike showing how well my fur baby was doing. I was fully at ease knowing my dog was in great hands. Mike is not only friendly but highly knowledgeable when it comes to caring for your pet. He took the time to fully understand my dog’s needs and temperament which in turn, helped Kobe to acclimate well to a different environment. I know I will always rely on Mike to care for Kobe.”
“Lily always does an excellent job watching my dog Tito! She always sends pictures and videos of him hanging out peacefully with the other little doggos that she takes care of.”
“We couldn't have asked for a better sitter than Kate! She was reliable and responsive from start to finish, and kept us updated with lots of great pictures, which gave us real peace of mind while we were away. Our dog clearly loved her, and it's obvious Kate genuinely loves dogs. We'll definitely be booking her again!”
“Raymond and his family were amazing!!! We had such a great experience boarding our 10-month-old cocker spaniel them. They treated our puppy like one of their own, and the whole family—including the kids—welcomed him with so much love and energy. Raymond was communicative, sending regular updates with photos and videos. We will definitely re-book with him in the future.”
“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”
“Amazing host! They offered a meet and greet before boarding. During boarding, they shared many photos and updates such as what they’ve played and their appetite. I felt very comfortable having them watch over my dog.”
“Moose and Alaska got long well while we were out of town and Moose came home happy and tired. That spent lots of time playing in the yard. Thank you, Natalia, for being available over thanksgiving and taking care of Moose!”
“Laura took such great care of my pup Biba! She gave so many updates with photos/videos. I had a last minute booking and a last minute extension and she was super flexible with it all. She even let me pick up from her parent’s house in the cove to make it more convenient for me. The extra love Biba got from her family was also an added bonus 😊. Highly recommend you book with her!”
“Clinton was great with our dog Otter! He was very accommodating, communicative and friendly. Sent lots of pictures and it looked like Otter had a great time. We would definitely use Clinton again!”
“William was great and I felt comfortable boarding my dog with him for a week. He has an excellent space including a fenced in yard for the dogs to enjoy. Would definitely rebook in the future!”

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. The Rover app allows sitters to send photos, videos, and messages about your pet, including how many pee or poop breaks occurred. 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 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 Meet & Greet.
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.
