“Thank you so much for caring for Banks. It was our first time using Jamie and Brian, but Banks came back happy and very tired from playing. Hope to use you again!”
“Jessie was the perfect choice to watch our dog Mabel. He spent a lot of quality time with our dog and his two dogs were the perfect play pals. Jessie provided us with regular updates on Mabel to keep our worries at ease. He also included pictures. As this was our first time away from our dog he made sure everything went off without a hitch. We couldn't have asked for a better first Rover experience.”
“Mackenzie did an outstanding job caring for my dog Kobe. I was very pleased with the quality of care and found her to be reliable and trustworthy. She sent me regular updates on Kobe's situation which kept me happy knowing he was in good hands. I would go to her again in the future.”
“This is the 3rd time we have booked Tetiana to watch our pug, Elsie, and we will continue to book with her because she is fantastic. Tetiana is excellent with communication, not only making drop off and pick extremely convenient, but also providing updates about how our dog is doing throughout her stay. She provides a lot of photos, which we always love receiving. Tetiana is kind, caring, professional and a wonderful pet sitter. I’m so happy we found her!”
“This could not have been a better experience!! Heather and Joe were so kind and clearly took great care of my pup! He even came home with a cute picture their son made for him. Communication was great! They sent updates and pictures so I could see how much my dog enjoyed his stay with them.”
About: I grew up around animals. I have taken care of my own dogs, cats, rabbits and fish throughout my life. I have also taken care of friends pets when they’ve gone out of town. I am comfortable with large and small dogs, cats, and caged animals. I’m currently working part time so I have plenty of time for your pets. I have a 4yr old who is comfortable around animals and I am available for boarding if your animal is comfortable with men, women, and children. I live on a quiet street in an apartment and look forward to walking with your dog at my home or yours. I am comfortable working with multiple kinds of collars and leashes.
About: Im used to being around different dogs my whole life I’ve had my own dog for three years. I’ve also taken care of dogs for my friends and family. Right now I am not working since and I’m only 18 so I’m available whenever you need me unless it’s when I’m busy and doing something. I care for my pets by having a lot of toys so if they want to play with there toys they can also I walk them so they get the exercise they need.
“Kelsey and her family were AMAZING with Buck! We got photo and video updates the whole weekend. She was very reassuring when I was so anxious about leaving him for the 1st time. Kelsey even slept with Buck on the couch his 1st night to help his restlessness. I really can't say enough great things about how awesome our 1st time using Rover and Kelsey was! Thanks again for being so great to our boy!”
About: I love all animals like they are my own. I grew up with big dogs and lots of other animals and I've always had such a passion for them. I can run or walk with your dog to make sure they get all of their energy out and I am good with working with large dogs. If I'm sitting your pet I will make sure to give them lots of attention and playtime! I have experience with walking many dogs and many people trust me to take care of their pups while they are away. I hope you give me the opportunity to show just how well I can care for your pets and give you one less thing to worry about while you're away. I work full time, but love to spend my time outside of work with animals. I have over 10 years of pet sitting experience along with growing up around cats, large breed dogs, and even horses. I have my own cat and 2 bunnies who have their own room in my house. I have fostered multiple rounds of kittens, rabbits and rabbit kits over the past 5 years. I’ve taken care of animals my whole life. I am an experienced sitter and foster parent who you can trust to take amazing care of your pets. I take any (and all) opportunities to snuggle and go on fun adventures with dogs. I will love on your pets with everything I have. I am incredibly reliable, trustworthy, and flexible.

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.
96% of sitters in Waterport 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 Waterport 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 Waterport.
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 Waterport. On Rover:
- 93% of sitters can help with special care needs

- 96% 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 Waterport 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.
