“David was great! We booked last minute and he was very accommodating and communicative. He sent me photos and updates of how they were doing. If we are in the area again I would definitely book with him again. My dogs enjoyed themselves and were well taken care of.”
“Daniela was really wonderful, attentive and patient and flexible. Goguma is still in his puppy phase and got to play with her dog. She checked in several times. I felt like Goguma was in great hands and look forward to future dates with Daniela.”
About: I recently had a German shepherd that lived to 14 years old. I know how to care for senior dogs, I know what it entails. I have no problem administering medicine. He also wasn't friendly with other dogs and I know it's hard to find sitters who also don't have animals. I do not have any animals in my home which will allow me and my family to give all the time, love and attention to your fur baby. I am a stay-at-home mom so I can give your pet plenty of attention. I have a fenced-in backyard that your dog can roam and I like to go on walks. Your dog is allowed to freely roam around my home. I can also crate if needed if you provide the crate. I have a fenced backyard that the dog can access at any time and I have 3 children who would absolutely LOVE to play with and spoil your dog once home from school. If I am at a client's home, I can do whatever the client would like me to do. Feed, fill up the water bowl, administer medicine, let the dog outside and play with him/her in the backyard for a while. I just want the animal to feel comfortable, loved and taken care of.
“Chris was very chill, cool, and communicative. We were only gone for a few hours at the nearby Storm King Art Center but got plenty of photos and our puppy looked happy. She was smiling.”
“Sonia did a wonderful job taking care of my dog. She is very patient, kind, and made sure my pup felt comfortable and happy. She also share photos during the day and walk our pup several times a day. I would definitely bring my dog back again and highly recommend their daycare!”
“Richard & Karen are very friendly & caring. This was our first time using their services and look forward to having Jinga over with them again in two weeks.”
About: I have a very special connection with all animals and will love and care for your pet as if it were my own! I have a lifetime of experience with cats and a few years of experience with dogs, namely raising and training my own dog from ~2 months old. He’s the sweetest, happiest pup and he is very loved! I work from home and have plenty of time to spend with your pet, whether that’s walking them, playing with them or bringing them to appointments!! I don’t have a fenced in yard but have plenty of space to walk and play with your dog outside (or inside!). I can crate the dog if necessary, and my puppy is extremely friendly and welcoming with new dogs!
“Alexa and Alex were amazing! Great communicators and were very accommodating. They were flexible with pickup/drop off times, they helped a bit with crate training and separation training. They even offered to meet in person first to make sure Mabel was comfortable with them and Shay. But most importantly, Alexa and Alex were so sweet to Mabel and I could see by photos that Mabel was very happy being with them, in their home. Mabel and Shay were such best friends and were always so excited to see each other! I will always go to Alexa and Alex (and Shay) first for any babysitter needs in the future! 10/10!!!”
About: I have extensive experience providing care for pets of all ages, ranging from energetic puppies to senior animals with special needs. With puppies, I focus on consistent routines that support their growth and development, including feeding on schedule, basic training reinforcement, safe playtime, and gentle socialization. For adult and older pets, I provide attentive care that includes administering medication, monitoring health changes, assisting with mobility challenges, and maintaining a comfortable and stress-free environment. Currently avaliable 24/7 and boarding, until further notice. At this time my attention and serivces is 100% on the pet that i provide care for. When caring for pets in my home or my clients’ homes, safety, trust, and comfort are always my top priorities. I create a secure environment by keeping spaces clean, pet-friendly, and free of hazards, while following each owner’s specific routines and guidelines. I build trust through reliability, clear communication, and treating every pet with the same love and respect I give my own. Whether it’s providing a calm space for rest, safe playtime, or attentive supervision, I ensure pets feel comfortable and owners have peace of mind knowing their companions are in caring hands.
“Ann Marie is a kind, responsible pet sitter for my sweet, timid dog. She was easy to communicate with. She has a large fenced in yard that is perfect for dogs. She sent updates and understood my shy guy’s special personality. We are happy to have a reliable local dog sitter. Highly recommend!”
“Today was Bernie’s first time with Nayeli, and I was honestly pretty anxious about leaving him with someone new. He’s such a huge part of my life, and dropping him off at someone else’s home made me nervous. But from the moment we met Nayeli, I felt completely reassured. She is kind, warm, and professional, creating an environment where dogs of all ages, sizes, and temperaments feel safe, seen, and cared for. Nayeli is a true dog whisperer who intuitively understands each dog's needs and integrates them into a peaceful, balanced pack. She took the time to get to know Bernie and ensured he was comfortable, happy, and having a great experience. Throughout the day, she sent the most beautiful photos of Bernie playing and relaxing, giving me much peace of mind. When I picked him up, he was calm and content and clearly had a wonderful time. I’m so grateful we found Nayeli and truly hope my schedule eases up so I can bring Bernie back to her again soon. She made what felt like a big leap of trust feel entirely natural. I could not recommend her more!”

Best place I could have chosen!!!! Shannon, her husband & kids are so welcoming to their beautiful home. Perfect choice & Bruno thought so as well. When I dropped him off, the whole family was sitting on the floor with him… he did not even pay attention to my leaving. Warm & delightful & awesome setting. Much thanks from a nervous mommy

Frequently asked questions about Rover
As of October 2026, there are 850 sitters on Rover offering Doggy Day Care across Vails Gate. Enter your ZIP code to see which available sitters are closest to your home.
Sitters on Rover can offer flexible scheduling, so you can coordinate times that work best for you and your pet—whether that’s early drop-off or later pick-up to match your Vails Gate commute.
If your schedule changes, it’s best to let your sitter know through the app as early as possible. Many sitters can adjust pick-up and drop-off times when needed.
Think of doggy day care as your dog’s fun, supervised play date that happens to fit into your workday. Day care through Rover takes place in a real home. This offers a calmer and more personalized environment for your pup.
A typical day can include companionship, one-on-one attention, and same day pick-up and drop-off. Many sitters can also offer structured routines and exercise throughout the day. For recurring, weekly day care, sitters will include photo updates so you can see your dog in their element.
Here are tips for finding the ideal day care fit for your dog:
- For some small dogs: In-home day care can be the perfect fit. Look for sitters whose "can host" section only lists dogs weighing 0–7 kilograms and/or 7–18 kilograms. During your Meet & Greet, ask about play areas based on dog size and energy level.
- For high-energy dogs: The ideal doggy day care can offer scheduled breaks and outdoor spaces or activities. You can also find sitters who host multiple dogs to satisfy your pup’s socializing needs.
- For dogs who prefer human-only companionship: Use the filters "Doesn't own a dog" and "Only accepts one pet at a time" to find the right care.
As of October 2026, there are 850 sitters on Rover offering Doggy Day Care across the region of NY. Enter your address or desired location to see which available sitters are closest to you.
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.
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.
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.
Yes, Rover is well-suited for finding sitters who can care for your pet within 24 hours. With 850 sitters in Vails Gate, 89% respond to messages in under an hour.
You can message multiple sitters simultaneously to find the fastest available match. If you need care today or tomorrow, you can look for sitters with a "calendar last updated" notice on their profiles.
sitters on Rover set their own cancellation policy, which you can find on their profile under their contact information. Sitters may set a same-day, one-, three-, or seven-day cancellation policy. Cancelling within your sitter’s cancellation policy qualifies you for a full refund.
Same-day cancellations for recurring services, which include walks, drop-ins, and day care, follow the full refund policy. Otherwise, for pet boarding and house sitting, if you cancel after 12 pm on the applicable cancellation deadline, you’ll receive a 50% refund for the first seven days of the booking and a 100% refund for any remaining days.
If your sitter needs to cancel within seven days of the booking's start date, then our reservation protection will kick in. This means you will get a full refund and our support team will work with you to find a replacement sitter.
