“Lincoln loved his stay at Anna’s! Anna was very communicative and flexible when our departure time changed a bit. Lincoln met new friends to play with and was a happy boy when we picked him up! We love the goody bag and doggy report card we received at the end of his stay! We will definitely be booking with Anna again!”

“I was so anxious about leaving my senior dog because we are rarely ever apart but the entire experience was amazing. I got so many updates throughout each day and it was clear that he was living his BEST life. I am so happy that I know I have a great place where Ted is happy and well cared for that I can leave him without having to worry at all.”

“Kaitlin, along with her crew of kids and kitties, were absolutely fantastic. My dog had a wonderful time there, and I know made fast friends with everyone in the house. You can tell from the moment Kaitlin meets your pup how comfortable she is around dogs, and especially for a sensitive pup like mine, she made us both feel like it was going to be a great match. During my dog's stay at her house, I got lots of photo and video updates, my dog got lots of great outdoor time, and Kaitlin was also super flexible around me coming by to pick up my doggie at the end of it, which was really helpful because my flight got in sort of late! Would definitely ask her to pup-sit again.”

“Tiffany was absolutely stellar. From the moment we met her all the way to drop off, she made us feel completely at ease and answered any and all questions. Great communication - she sent pictures and videos of the dogs while we were away. This was our first time leaving the pups with someone and I would not hesitate to leave them with her again!! Highly recommend!”

“Jialin and John watched my new senior rescue Bianca for a long weekend and were so good to her! I was a little nervous since I had her less than a month and was still figuring out her unique behaviors and preferences but she was in great hands. We did a meet and greet beforehand and Boo-boo was a great host, sharing his home and parents. Jialin even taught Bianca a new trick that we have been working on back home. Bianca was sent home with a plastic baggie of some treats she liked to keep the good times going back home. I look forward to the next time Bianca can stay with them!”

About: Hello! I am 32 and a lifelong dog & cat mom. I currently have 1 big dog and 3 cats. I have been dog sitting for friends, family, and clients for as many years as I can remember. I’ve been an animal lover since I was old enough to know what an animal is. I’m comfortable walking large and reactive dogs, administering meds, cleaning litter boxes, and any other services you may need. Feel free to send a message to see if I would be a good fit for your fur family I work on weekdays from 10-6 pm, so I have plenty of time in the mornings, evenings, and on lunch breaks to give your furry friend loads of attention and exercise. Pets in my home are allowed on furniture and are allowed to sleep in the bed if they like to. We have lots of toys (for both dogs and cats) and enjoy lots of walks on the nearby walking trail.

About: Thank you for checking out my profile! I am happy to dog sit in my home (dog and cat friendly). I love to walk, hike, & go on many adventures with my pets! I look forward to watching/walking your “fur babies” and getting to know you! I work as a full time physical therapist but work very close to home so I am able to stop for potty breaks. Walks and drop ins can also happen first thing in the morning or after work hours! I have a fully fenced in yard, pool, and a very cute mini goldendoodle your pup will get to play with! We have lots of walks and neighborhood walking trails near by!

“We are so incredibly grateful for the wonderful care Kimberly gave our dog, Emma. From our first meeting at our home, it was clear she is a conscientious and loving pet sitter. We were taking a trip out of the country, and finding someone experienced and trustworthy was our top priority. Kimberly went above and beyond, walking Emma, and sending us several texts, and photos every day. She even sent several videos. Each update showed a relaxed, happy, and well-cared-for Emma, which gave us the opportunity to truly relax and enjoy our vacation. Knowing Emma was in a safe environment with a fenced yard was a huge plus. We can't recommend Kimberly enough! She is truly an exceptional pet sitter.”

About: I work from home, so your pup gets plenty of company, attention, and care throughout the day. I have a huge yard for supervised play and a great neighborhood for walks. I’ve also cared for friends’ and family members’ dogs for years, and after losing my own dog when he was 16, I know how special our pets truly are. Your dog will be treated like family here! I’m also happy to work on basic training and good manners while they’re with me! Since I work from home, pet care fits naturally into my daily routine. I’m able to provide at least two walks each day—one in the morning and another in the afternoon or evening—along with plenty of playtime and attention throughout the day. I also have two teenage boys who are at home 50% of the time and absolutely love dogs, so your pup will have lots of company and affection! I'm available during the week and most weekends for playtime and boarding. I care for every pet as if they were my own, while following their normal routine and any instructions you provide. In my home, they’ll have plenty of attention, playtime, and walks, plus a big yard to enjoy and plenty of space for a crate or dog bed if they’re used to having their own spot. Since I work from home, I’m around throughout the day to keep them company and give them lots of love and attention.

“Saskia was absolutely fantastic! She took such wonderful care of our two energetic dogs and our energetic cat, and we couldn't have been happier. She truly went above and beyond, staying in constant communication with us the whole time we were away and sending photos and updates that really put our minds at ease. She put an incredible amount of heart into caring for our pets—she easily gave one hundred and fifty to two hundred percent—and her response time was incredibly fast.”

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 .

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 .

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. Cats may be required to have Feline Viral Rhinotracheitis and Rabies up to date.

By discussing your pet's health history early, you’re adding a layer of confidence for you and your sitter before the booking begins.

is available by phone or email in English 24/7. When an incident occurs, we recommend that sitters contact our Trust & Safety team immediately so that they can connect your sitter with a board-certified veterinarian or offer other resources to help.
