“Monica and Kelvin were amazing with my dog Melo! It was his first time staying with them and with a dog sitter in general so naturally I was nervous about it. Monica made me feel at ease by sharing multiple updates and pictures throughout the day and treated Melo like he was her own. He came home a happy boy !”

About: Looking to help people with their doggy pet care needs! I had my dog Buddy for 15 years since he passed a couple of years ago, he was my everything, so know how important it is to have someone care for your pet like they are part of your family ❤️Went thru all the stages of life with him from training to his elder days of taking care with doggy dimentia and incontinence issues.I’ve also been around and helped my family and friends with their dogs and cats and put my love into doing that ❤️I’m great with walking , feeding, and just overall play with animals and enjoy it as much as they do, I really take pride and care in each pet I’m watching and treat them as if they were my family. I work a part time job in an acupuncture office doing front desk so have a lot of free time to help out and walk dogs or take care of them during the day for people. I also have my own condo so can also have pets stay and take care of or I can go to houses to pet sit that are not to far away. I don’t have any other pets at the moment and live alone so a safe and good environment, I live in a complex that is pet friendly and a lot of areas outside to walk and play .
“Kariss & Daniel were great. Communication was great and very responsive. My pup got along great with their dogs and their fenced in backyard was great. My dog clearly enjoy her time with them and I’ll definitely be using them again.”
“What a great experience. I love getting updates, and being reassured that my pup is having a good time and also getting what he needs. Valerie is conscientious, for example, she walked my dog before I came to make sure that he had his needs met before a long drive with me. Got an along well with her dog, in a family setting with a backyard — really appreciate her care.”
“Rafaelina and her daughter took great care of our dog Cohiba. They took the time to care for (including giving meds) and understand Cohiba's personality. It's so comforting to be able to leave Cohiba with such caring people.”
“Suzanne and her family are open and friendly caregivers. We received regular updates and pics of our pup while we were away. They made us feel certain that our Lily was taken good care of.”

Irene and Ken were real lifesavers! We had a family emergency and needed their help right away. They were flexible, accommodating, and caring. They took great care of Troy, communicated with us and sent pictures, and were so nice! This is the second time that we utilized their services. It won't be the last. Superb sitters and great people!
This was our 1st time using Rover and we had the best experience and luck in finding Kathleen! Kathleen was wonderful and we felt comfortable leaving our senior dog with Kathleen. Her family is wonderful and we are thrilled we were able to find Kathleen.she sent us videos and pictures and took the best care of our dog. Thank you Kathleen!!!
Maureen was absolutely wonderful! She had great communication throughout, and you can truly tell how much she loves and cares for dogs. We felt completely comfortable knowing our pup was in such good hands. I would highly recommend Maureen to anyone looking for a caring, reliable, and trustworthy sitter!
Axl is a very reliable dog sitter. She was one of the few sitters that responded and didn’t cancel or ghosted me on the Rover. I truly recommend her for your dog care. Our dog - Peaches - stay at Axl home was amazing. Our dog had a lot of fun with her and her two other dogs. Peaches didn't even notice that we were leaving her with a new family. She was well entertained and taken care off. We were getting updates and pictures from our dog stay regularly. She really took a great care of our dog.
Joanna is amazing! She took such great care of my dog, and I felt completely at ease knowing my pup was with her. She has a large, securely fenced backyard where the dogs have plenty of room to run, play, and burn off energy. It's clear that she genuinely loves animals and treats them like her own. I appreciated the updates and the care she provided throughout the stay. I would absolutely recommend Joanna to anyone looking for a trustworthy, caring, and reliable dog sitter. We'll definitely be booking with her again!
Bianca took wonderful care of my dog and gave me complete peace of mind while I was away. She communicated with me throughout the day, sharing updates and letting me know how everything was going, which I really appreciated. I would absolutely recommend Bianca to anyone looking for someone reliable, caring, and attentive to their pet.
Tyler is an amazing sitter. My pup Jesse, loved him and the meet and greet and practically pulled my arm off to get into his house on the day of booking. She had a great time with the other pups. Tyler sent pictures and Jesse was a very happy pup when she came home. 10 out of 10 will be booking again!

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.
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.
94% of sitters in Valley Cottage can provide daily exercise during dog boarding stays. Depending on the sitter, their home environment, and your dog’s needs, this 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 Valley Cottage 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 Valley Cottage.
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.
Yes, you can find sitters who have experience with handling special pet needs in Valley Cottage. On Rover:
- 84% of sitters can help with special care needs
- 90% can help with giving oral medications or injections
- 94% can help with daily exercise
You can also find pet sitters on Rover who accept only one pet at a time, which is ideal for anxious puppies, kittens, or senior pets who move at a gentler pace. Some sitters will also list availability for 24/7 care, also known as constant care, in their profiles.
Use the search filters to narrow down sitters whose specific experience or environment meets your pet's needs. When reaching out to your sitter, outline your pet's care routine and use the Meet & Greet to walk your sitter through your expectations.
You and your Valley Cottage 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.
Adding another pup to the pack? Most sitters and walkers offer a reduced rate for additional dogs. You’ll find these exact rates listed under the "Services" tab on any sitter's profile. Since every dog is unique, final pricing may vary depending on the level of care required.
