“Excellent very pleased w everything... lollipop seemed to have enjoyed her stay..perfect yard.. Chrissy is a very pleasant person would recommend her and use her again in a heartbeat..”
“My 8 year old, Curly Coated Retriever, had never been boarded before. Kyle made me so comfortable at our initial meet & greet that it reduced my trepidation of being away from my girl for the first time & I knew she was in good hands. Kyle’s daily pictures & comments made being away from my girl so much easier. It was very clear seeing how much Kyle loved dogs and she was such a good caregiver to my girl. I would strongly recommend Kyle’s service to anybody who wants to ensure their dog is in the hands of someone who truly cares about her furry friends.”
“What a lovely guy! I was looking for a new doggie daycare that had boarding options and came across Awoo. Did a test run for boarding to make sure all the pooches got along and it went perfectly. Awoo clearly loves the animals in his care. Great set up and huge, secure yard space. Highly, highly recommend. We will definitely be regulars there.”
“Jack is by far the best dog sitter in the capital region. He is so attentive to dogs, has the best space for dogs to run and play around, and his dog is very well trained. Our Aussie Lilo loves Jack and she is always happy for her staycation. We are so happy to have found Jack and that our Lilo gets along so well with him and his dogs. We cannot recommend Jack enough.”
“Kathleen took excellent care of my chihuahua, Cody. Over the course of a month, I boarded him with her a few times each week, and I always felt confident he was in great hands. She was responsive, kind, and incredibly patient, not just with my (very energetic!) chihuahua 🙃, but with me as well. I’m so grateful for the care she provided and would highly recommend Kathleen to anyone looking for a trustworthy sitter.”
“Brigid was amazing with my little Peach. She took great care of her and gave her lots of affection. Knowing Peach was with Brigid gave me great peace of mind while I was away. I highly recommend her!”
“Karen was so kind, and really great with Gertie. I was so happy to see her quickly be affectionate with Karen which made me so happy! She sent me sweet photos and responded to my messages very quickly which was much appreciated. She took her into her home and everyone was happy. I am hoping to back up Karen’s way more in the future and will 100% use Karen again and also highly recommend her to other dog parents!!”
“Andre (John) took great care of Gus and Penny. I appreciated the pictures and updates during their stay. My sister recommended Andre and she was correct. Great care!”
“Sunny always has a great time with Christopher and his wife. They treat him so well and they are both so accommodating if we need to change the time for drop-off/pickup. We couldn’t be more appreciative of them!”
About: I take my responsibility watching your pets very seriously and treat each one like my own! Over the years I’ve cared for pets with all different personalities, routines and needs, and I always make sure all animals receive the same love and attention. Message me and I would be happy to meet with you and your pets beforehand so you can both get to know me! I work at a job in the medical field Monday - Thursday and I am typically home on the weekends doing yard work or just hanging out! I have a fully fenced in yard with lots of room for your pet to run around, I also own a crate if necessary! I am also comfortable coming to your house overnight or just for a mid day check in!
“Rocky clearly enjoyed his stay with his new friends, although happy to see me he clearly was upset leaving Bear, whined half way home and slept like a rock ! Thanks again to Mike and we will look forward to our next stay :)”
“We had a wonderful experience with Bailey watching Rip and Thor. She communicated well throughout their stay, kept us updated, and clearly took great care of them. She gave them good walks and played with them regularly, and it was obvious they enjoyed spending time with her. Both dogs were happy and comfortable the whole time. We would definitely book Bailey again and highly recommend her!”
“Tatiana was wonderful. I felt so safe with Lola there and I could tell by the pictures I was being sent that Lola herself was very comfortable there as well. She clicked right away with everyone there (dogs and people), and snuggled into her own little spot. All of the positive messages and pics helped a lot, but I could tell that Tatiana and her daughter were dog lovers and that they had been doing this for a while. Thanks, guys, for making Lola feel so comfortable and cared for there, which made me feel a thousand percent better about that during what I had to do while she was away (a funeral). And I was able to add another day because we were all too exhausted and sick to pick her up at the normal time, which was a lifesaver. Tatiana was so gracious and helpful! We hope to see you again sometime soon. ?”
“Christine was wonderful with our often anxious pup Caroline. When we met before Caroline's visit, she asked us lots of questions about what would make her most comfortable. Christine prepared for her visit in sweet and sensible way and our pup was very clearly settled in. Christine made their time together fun. She was responsive to us and kept us informed with pictures and texts.”
“Kierra took great care of Cooper, he was very happy him and Atlie. He definitely made a new pup buddy. Kierra took Cooper for daily walks which he loves to go for walks. I would definitely use Kierra to watch Cooper again on the future.”
“Always the best! Camilla’s home is literally perfect for a dog like mine. My dog gets even more socialization than he gets when he is home with me. She has wonderful and friendly pets and she takes the whole crew out to the dog park and it looks like a wonderful experience all around.”
“Lori worked with us and my dog even though had a difficult time while there and was a bit more challenging than I had realized he would be. Fox had grown to like her in the 5 days he was there and gave her a nice "hug" before he left.”
“Everything went wonderfully! I was worried about leaving Wednesday with her medical issues but Mikkal knew what he was doing and took great care of her! She seemed very happy and healthy when I picked her up and will gladly use his services again in the future should I need them.”
Dog parents share their Rover experiences - Ushers
Libby did a wonderful job caring for Rocco! She watched him for several days in her calm, quiet home while we were on vacation. She sent lots of photos, checked in with me several times, and handled my crazy, hyper little guy like a pro. I felt completely comfortable knowing he was in such good hands. Highly recommend Libby!
My dog Mojo stayed with Rebecca and her family for a week while I was on vacation and she was incredible! She followed all of my instructions, made sure my dog was always in a comfortable environment, and sent frequent updates and photos which I really appreciated. Mojo was happy and healthy when I picked him up, thank you Rebecca!

Frequently asked questions about Rover
Rover is the largest marketplace for local pet care. Whether you're looking for pet sitters, dog walkers, or house sitters who specialize in pet sitting, you can narrow your search by entering your ZIP code to find sitters within walking distance in your neighborhood.
Every sitter on Rover has their own routine. Depending on the arrangements you agree on before the stay, a sitter can follow your dog’s regular feeding schedule, provide a comfortable place to sleep, offer companionship, and support their usual exercise and play needs.
Depending on the sitter, their home environment, and your dog’s needs, daily exercise may include walks, outdoor play, indoor enrichment activities, or supervised play with compatible dogs. These activities are not automatically included with every booking, so ask the sitter what a typical day looks like.
During the Meet & Greet, discuss your dog’s usual exercise and play routine, whether they can safely interact with other dogs, and any activities or restrictions the sitter should follow. You can also ask the sitter to send photo and message updates during the stay so you can see how your dog is spending their time.
Preparing for drop-off is easy when you have a checklist! To help your dog settle into their Ushers home-away-from-home, we recommend packing:
- Health and safety essentials such as their ID tags, vaccination records, medication, and emergency vet or secondary caregiver contacts.
- Food and gear such as harnesses, collars, food (portioned by day), and an item that smells like you.
- Special instructions such as a list of training cues, medical administration needs, or favorite hang-out spots in your Ushers.
Tip: You can upload your dog’s routine and medical info directly onto their profile so your sitter always has the details at their fingertips.
You and your Ushers sitter can schedule drop-off and pick-up in a way that works best for the both of you—and your dog. Most sitters offer flexible times for drop-off and pick-up but the easiest way to confirm those times will be through in-app messaging. Confirm your arrival time the day of pick-up and drop-off can also help keep the process smooth and organized.
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.
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.
By discussing your pet's health history early, you’re adding a layer of confidence for you and your sitter before the booking begins.
If a health concern arises during a stay, your sitter is instructed to contact you and our Trust & Safety team immediately and, if needed, take your dog to the closest veterinarian. Through our Trust & Safety support team, sitters can ask for diagnostic advice from a qualified veterinary professional if your dog is showing signs of possible illness.
For extra peace of mind, you can also prepare an authorization form for your regular vet. An authorization form outlines your preferred method of care and allows your sitter to bring your pet into their regular clinic.
Every qualified booking made on Rover is backed by the Rover Guarantee, which includes reimbursement for eligible emergency vet care.
