“Huijun was communicative and thoughtful in caring for my pup! I felt comfortable knowing she was well taken care of! She was also willing to care of my pup on short notice, which I was very appreciative of.”
“Maytte is a gem! We have two very shy dogs and weren’t sure how they would do staying with a new person. They loved her and warmed up to her at the meet and greet we set up. It made going away much easier. Maytte sent updates every day, with pictures and videos of the dogs. We could tell they were loved and well cared for. Maytte went above and beyond, buying them each a harness for walks and new toys. We’ve already booked her for our next trip.”
“Ellen & John have continued to provide amazing care and company for my puppy. I travel frequently and every time I have needed to board her, they have been available even on short notice! The communication and flexibility has been a godsend. Ellen & John will always be my first go-to!”
“Susan always takes great care of my dog. I am confident that she is in great hands whenever I leave her with Sue and really appreciate the updates during Gemma’s time with her.”
“This is our dogs second visit to Dan and Teresa’s. They are very communicative and accommodating to what our dogs need. Our dogs were very happy and welcomed as if they were a part of the family. We have been extremely satisfied and will continue to drive a little farther to have our dogs be taken care of by Dan and Teresa.”
“Literally the best sitter we’ve ever had! I was SO nervous to leave my bestie, but Donna made me feel comfortable from the start. She took care of our girl like she was her own and communicated very frequently. Georgia came home happy and exhausted!”
“The girls had a great time. Ashley sent pictures daily. She let me see the yard and areas where the girls would be to make me feel better as my little one is an escape artist. Ashley was great at communicating. I will definitely use her again.”
“Thank youuuu for taking such good care of our sweet Kenya!!! Thank you for all the love you gave to her, the walks and games, the photos and detailed updates. We could tell she had a blast the whole time she was with you guys 🥹💕”
“Jeanne was amazing! We needed to go out of town for the weekend and were nervous about leaving our dog with someone since we’ve only had her for about a month. Jeanne was so kind and asked us to have our dog meet her dog first so we could see if it was a good fit. This was reassuring to us, rather than folks who accepted right away. Jeanne kept us informed and sent updates throughout the weekend. We are definitely going to reach out again if we’re in need of a sitter”
“Booked last minute and was very accommodating. I needed a day sitter for my 2 labs and received pictures/ updates thought the day. My dogs had a great day and were well cared for. Would definitely recommend and book again in the future.”
“This was our first experience using Rover and Irina. She is a sweetheart and clearly loves dogs! She was very accomodating and I think my dog was very comfortable there. I got pictures and updates to make me feel better about being gone and having my dog at a sitter. There was other dogs there as well and they all got along just fine! I would definitely use her again!”
“Watched our boy for about 4 days and did a great job of taking care of him while giving us frequent updates. She even helped train him off leash while we were gone. Highly recommend!”
“Amanda did a wonderful job watching our two pups while we were out of town. She met all their needs and gave them their pills while we were away. They were able to get plenty of exercise and love. She kept us updated and we felt comfortable the whole time that they were in great hands and getting lots of love and attention. 10/10 recommend and we will absolutely use her again!”
About: I’ve always loved dogs and truly enjoy spending time with them! I have a 4-year-old dog of my own who is friendly, playful, and gets along great with other dogs. I’m comfortable caring for dogs of different personalities and love giving them plenty of attention, playtime, walks, and cuddles. When your pup is in my care, I’ll treat them like one of my own and make sure they feel safe, comfortable, and loved while you’re away. I know how important it is to have someone you can trust with your pet, and I’ll do my best to give you peace of mind with regular updates and lots of love for your furry friend! 🐶❤️ I’m available most weekends and have more flexibility to spend time with your pup. Monday through Friday, I work from 6:30 AM to 3:00 PM. Before work, I always make sure my own dog gets outside for some morning exercise and attention. When I get home, we spend time playing and relaxing together in our fenced-in yard. Your pup will be welcomed into our routine and given plenty of love, attention, and playtime! Your dog’s safety and comfort are my top priorities. I have a fenced-in yard where dogs can safely play and get some exercise, and I’ll always supervise outdoor time. I have a friendly 4-year-old dog who gets along great with other dogs and can provide a companion for your pup. I’ll make sure every dog in my care feels comfortable, secure, and treated like part of the family. I’m also happy to follow your dog’s normal routine, including feeding schedules, medications, walks, and any special instructions.
“I have booked with Jenna before... our experience was so good and easy, we came back for another round. Satisfied customer yet again! My pup is always so happy when he gets there, and doesn't seem to want to leave! He loves his buddy Stitch (Jenna's pup). Jenna is also really accommodating to pick up and drop offs. Just another happy customer. Thank you Jenna!”
“Kate and her pups were so great with Indie! This was my first time leaving my pup since I moved to NY, and Kate made sure to keep me updated and love Indie as her own. He played with Otto, and Puck became his little bestie. I couldn’t recommend them enough! Thank you!!”
“Amber was lovely and super attentive to Rizzo's needs before and during their time together! She sent plenty of pictures and updates and he seemed very happy to play with Kegan the whole weekend. Will definitely look to send Rizzo her way again!”
“Krissy was amazing! I wish I could give more stars! From the first meet and greet I knew she was the person to watch our baby! She sent pictures daily and kept us posted on Ella’s daily happenings! I felt comfortable and never once was worried! I think my little girl is missing Krissy and her husband Jim! We most certainly will use Krissy again and again!!!! If you are in need of someone to watch your beloved pet look no further…..Krissy is amazing and the sweetest!!!!”

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.
98% of sitters in Van Buren 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 Van Buren 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 Van Buren.
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 Van Buren. On Rover:
- 94% of sitters can help with special care needs
- 98% can help with giving oral medications or injections
- 98% 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 Van Buren 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.
