“Farva is very responsive and has a very calm, caring nature which is perfect for our anxious dog. Jack had lots of playtime with Farva and came home very relaxed. He is looking forward to his next stays”
“Saiad was a trustworthy and reliable sitter during Max's stay. Max can be an insecure dog, but Saiad made sure he felt comfortable and well cared for throughout his visit. He followed all of our instructions, accommodated a meet-and-greet beforehand, and made sure Max had a great time playing fetch and enjoying his stay. Would love to book with him again!”
“Maddie was wonderful! Took perfect care of Sasha and checked in often about her during her stay. She was also very understanding and accomodating to some unfortunate tummy troubles Sasha had. Would definitely recommend Maddie!”
“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.”
“Samantha is literally the best person we have ever worked with!!!! She sent daily updates in Barbra and is just such a sweet and wonderful person. We can't wait to send Barbra back with her :)”
“I cannot say enough good things about Anat. Our dog was treated like one of the family. It’s clear that she has a true passion for dogs, and the fact that she has her own dog made us feel so confident. We also appreciated all the updates - it was clear Max was having a great time!”
“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.”
“Juan took great care of my puppy! I was very nervous to leave her for the first time for the weekend, but she did great. Juan provided updates and my puppy seemed to be happy and tired when I picked her up! I think she loved being with Juan’s dog, and the large back yard to play. I highly recommend Juan.”
“Absolutely Incredible Dog Sitter! We couldn’t be happier with the care our Lia received while we were away. Maxine kept us updated which only confirmed that she was having a great time and was so well taking care off. We can’t thank her enough for providing such loving care. We’ll definitely be booking again in the future!”
“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”
“Danae is so responsible, friendly, understanding and careful dog sitter! She took care of my small pug, as if it was her own dog. We definitely will return to her! Strongly recommend to everyone.”
About: I’m Simone and I’ve been taking care for dogs for over 14 years. What started as helping out friends and family quickly turned into something much bigger. I’ve now become the go-to sitter for a wide circle of people, including their friends and referrals. I love animals and treat every pet like they’re part of my own family. Whether it’s a high-energy puppy who needs playtime and exercise or a senior dog who just wants companionship, I tailor my care to meet each pet’s unique personality and needs. I understand how important consistency and presence are for animals when their owners are away. Pet care is a natural part of my daily and weekly routine. We have a 3 year old Mini-Goldendoodle. My husband and I both work from home and take our dog out for two long walks as well as one short walk and as many potty breaks as needed. We live on a quiet street with many other friendly dogs. We have a 3 year old Mini-Goldendoodle who loves playing with other dogs or just having company.
“Sonia is amazing!! She LOVES dogs and took great care of Moonie. She shares photos and videos for everyday updates. our dog had wonderful time with Misty (Sonia’s dog) and other dogs for day care and boarding. Will certainly back to Sonia for day care or boarding again in the future.”
“Paola did a wonderful job of taking care of my 7 year old dog while I was out of town for about a week. I missed him a lot, but she was lovely to share updates and photos of him. I would definitely be happy to leave Tito with her again in the future.”
“Jocelyn took fantastic care of our energetic pup while we were on vacation. She was communicative and sent lots of videos and pictures. Our dog loved the amount of attention and exercise she got.”
“Natasha and Hamir were wonderful sitters for Lino. They took the time and care to listen to our requests and instructions, and updated us daily on how he was doing, including photos. We could tell he was being cared for and he was really happy. Lino can be human-selective and indifferent to other dogs, and Natasha and Hamir respected that and live in an area where there is a lot of space from both possible triggers. We wouldn’t hesitate to reach out to them again for boarding!”

Pet parents share their Rover experiences - Thornwood
We couldn't ask for a better dog sitter! Jax is treated like part of the family every time he stays, and it gives us complete peace of mind whenever we're away. We never have to worry because we know he's in the best hands. The biggest sign of all is how excited and happy he is every time we drop him off. We highly recommend Kevin and he wonderful family to anyone looking for someone who will truly love and care for their dog!
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!

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.
