“Brittany was wonderful with Cody. He is not used to be separated from us so we knew that he would be a challenge. I am happy with the treatment that Cody received and if the occasion occurs we will book with Brittany again.”
“Our dog Sam was so spoiled by Maria and her family on his stay. He had such a great time with all the ladies. They are wonderful!! Definitely will keep in contact for any future services. Thank you very much!”
“Donna was exceptional!! First time using Donna and definitely not the last time using her! She took such good care of my dog Zeus! She kept us up to date each day on how he was doing while me and my husband were away. Sending us pictures of him having a great time making himself at home. She genuinely takes care of your dog and all their needs. Don’t hesitate on booking Donna!! You won’t be disappointed!! 🤩”
“Maryline was absolutely wonderful! My dog had the best time during her stay with Maryline! She did a great job taking care of my French bulldog Lola! We will definitely be using her again in the future. Thank you again!!”
“Thayla was an outstanding dog sitter! She kept me updated regularly about Khloe, and was always quick to respond to messages, which gave me great peace of mind. Khloe warmed up to her immediately, and I could see how much Thayla genuinely cares for animals. She made sure to stick to Khloe’s routine. I couldn’t have asked for a better sitter and will definitely book her again!”
“Gretchen took excellent care of my dog while I was away. He seemed very happy during his stay. I also received daily photos and updates about how he was doing. I'll definitely use Gretchen's services again.”
“Phalisity was a great sitter for my dog Prince. She was ready to receive him on time. She sent pictures of him which reassured me that he was well taken care of and comfortable. She had him prepared for pick up in a timely manner. I will definitely reach out to Rover again to request Phalisity’s service. I am grateful of your service. Mrs. Harris”
“We’re so happy we found Nayeli! My husband and I were looking for a sitter near our Airbnb in upstate NY since it didn’t allow dogs, and Nayeli was absolutely fantastic. She’s very knowledgeable and took such great care of our dogs, including giving thyroid medication to our Husky. She sent us regular updates and photos, which made us feel completely at ease while we were away. Her home is clean, well-equipped, and safe for dogs. The fenced backyard is beautiful, and our dogs had so much fun playing there with her own dogs — they got along so well! We couldn’t have asked for a better experience and will definitely book with Nayeli again in the future. Highly recommend her to anyone looking for a trustworthy, caring, and reliable dog sitter!”
About: I have been taking care of animals my whole life. Both in my personal life- and professionally. I have a very big soft spot for older dogs- and have had a lot of experience working with all ages. I have done everything from working at dog day cares, in vet clinics, with seeing eye dogs, housesitting and beyond. Anywhere I can pour love into this world is where I want to be. I am currently working full time but am happy to make sure your pet has everything it needs and more. I do not feel like my work hinders the care I can provide in any way. I work with dogs everyday and understand exactly what they need. I have a 12 year old retired autism dog who gets along with everyone. She is sweet and mellow. I can provide a crate if needed and I can also come to you.
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.
“Daniela took exceptional care of my fur-baby, keeping me up to date with beautiful pictures and messages. I recommend her 100% 😀 Thank you Daniela, you are the pet sitter I always needed.”
“We had to board our 2-year-old cur Rocky, who was skittish around other dogs and had never been boarded. She allowed us to get him acclimated with doggie daycare sessions which made him more comfortable with her. He stayed with Tara 11 days and we got multiple videos and text messages and photos from Tara concerning Rocky. Each day he was a little more comfortable with the other dogs and began playing with them instead of just sniffing them and watching them play with other dogs. He got plenty of exercise and I think he might have even lost a pound or two by staying more active with Tara than with us. I couldn't have chosen a better person to watch Rocky during our vacation. I cannot recommend Tara enough when it comes to pet sitting!”

“Wanda always takes great care of our dog Ollie! She is very communicative and has a wonderful property that has a lot of space for dogs. We would recommend her services to others without hesitation.”
About: I’ve grown up always surrounded by many pets and have loved taking care of them, as I got older I’ve gotten more experience properly taking care of different kinds of pets. I also have experience walking dogs in shelters and have experience with senior pets as well! I work full time during the week but am available any day during the weekends and in the afternoons after 4PM during the week as well! I have a large yard and safe, walkable neighborhood as well as 2 friendly dogs. I would always be respectful of others’ homes and their pets needs and boundaries!
“Leslie boarded Sadie, our 15 yr old Cockapoo, on short notice and was amazing. She was responsive, asked all the right questions, and was flexible when there was a change to our plans. During Sadie's stay Leslie shared regular updates, which we always appreciate. Sadie came home surprisingly happy and energetic for an old lady. Thank you Leslie!”
“Jadyn was so so great with my girls! this was a last-minute request and she helped us out. No problem and I got two very happy very tired puppies when I picked them up, could not recommend her more for any of your doggy daycare needs.”
“Candace is absolutely amazing! She boarded my dog Lou in her home and took such wonderful care of her. From the moment we met, I could tell Candace had a kind and gentle disposition, which instantly put me at ease. She was communicative throughout the entire stay, providing thoughtful updates and letting me know how Lou was doing. At pick-up, she shared even more details, which I really appreciated. If you’re looking for someone who is loving, easy to talk to, responsive, and incredibly responsible, Candace is the one. I’m so grateful to have found her!”

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.
95% of sitters in Wappingers Falls 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 Wappingers Falls 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 Wappingers Falls.
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 Wappingers Falls. On Rover:
- 92% of sitters can help with special care needs

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 Wappingers Falls 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.
