“Gillian was amazing with my dog, Cooper. She sent me daily updates, pictures and videos. Most days I received multiple messages saying n how he was doing. They really accommodated his needs and let me know when his eye doctor as a little runny. He was as able to sleep with someone, like at home, sleep during the day and enjoy the outside and long walks. I will always reach out to Gillian when I need someone to watch Cooper. He’s lonely today because he’s missing Gillian, Mitch and all his new doggie friends.”
About: What sets me apart is the level of compassion, patience, and individualized care I provide to every dog I meet. As a licensed Mental Health Counselor, my profession is built on trust, attentiveness, and understanding each individual’s unique needs—and I bring that same approach to caring for pets. I don’t believe in a one-size-fits-all experience. Whether your dog is energetic and loves long walks, prefers a slower pace, or simply enjoys extra cuddles and companionship, I’ll tailor my care to what makes them feel happiest and most comfortable. I treat every dog as if they were my own, keeping pet parents updated with photos and messages so you can relax knowing your furry family member is safe, loved, and receiving exceptional care every step of the way. Hi! I’m a licensed Mental Health Counselor with a genuine love for animals and a passion for providing compassionate, dependable care. My career has taught me the value of patience, trust, and creating a calm, supportive environment—qualities I bring to every pet I care for. I offer evening dog walks after 7:00 PM, making it easy for busy pet parents to ensure their dogs get the exercise, attention, and potty breaks they need. I also provide weekend boarding in my loving home, so you can enjoy a weekend away knowing your furry family member is safe, comfortable, and treated like one of my own. Whether we’re going for a walk, playing, cuddling, or simply relaxing, I’ll make sure your pup receives plenty of love, attention, and personalized care. I understand how important it is to leave your pet with someone you trust, and I’m committed to giving you peace of mind while you’re away. I live in a clean, pet-friendly apartment without a fenced yard, but that doesn’t mean your dog will miss out on exercise or outdoor time! My own dog enjoys multiple walks throughout the day, and I make it a priority to provide regular potty breaks, fresh air, and plenty of physical activity. We have a wonderful neighborhood that’s perfect for safe, enjoyable walks, and I’ll make sure your pup gets the same level of care, attention, and exercise as my own. Every dog has different needs, so I’ll tailor our walks and activity level to match your pet’s age, energy level, and personality, ensuring they stay happy, healthy, and comfortable during their stay.
“Lucy had a wonderful stay with Kristine, Bob, and Flynn. They all went above and beyond to make sure our Lucy received great care while we were away. Also, in addition to being adorable, Flynn is a terrific pup companion!”
“Chelsea and Christopher were wonderful with our 2 pups. This is the first time we’ve had to leave our dogs outside of staying with family so I was nervous and hesitant. They calmed all my fears and took great care of our dogs— one of which also has some special needs. If we come back to upstate NY, we will definitely be booking with them again! Thank you!!”
“Katie was amazing! Our other sitter backed out last minute and Katie was there to help. She took amazing care of our Black Lab Shuri and sent us updates and pictures. Shuri was so happy. Thank you for taking her and being so amazing.”
“Margie and Family were more than gracious hosts for my fur baby! My dog and her dogs got a long great. Pick up and drop off were a breeze and I got updates and pictures of my little guy while I was on vacation. I highly recommend her services!!”
“Thank you Brad & Mery for looking after Tupe while I was away on vacation this past week. I was extremely nervous to have a stranger watch him. You both quickly eased my mind when we stopped over for a “meet and greet”. Tupe felt right at home as soon as we walked into your home. To anyone looking for a sitter…Brad and Mery are best team! I will be contacting you soon!!! Thank you again.”
“Our two pups had the best time with Margaret. She sent daily updates and pictures so we knew about all of their daily activities and how they were doing. We felt very comfortable with the dogs being in her care. We would definitely recommend Margaret to others in need of a dog sitter.”
“Larry took excellent care of our dog while we were away for the weekend. He was extremely professional and made sure to ask questions to ensure our dog was as comfortable as possible. We received updates during our time away on how our little guy was doing. We were extremely satisfied with our experience and will definitely keep Larry in mind for our next trip!”
“Tenzin and her husband did a great job taking care of my almost 6 month old puppy who was away from me overnight for the first time. She sent pictures and sent updates that really helped ease my mind.”
“Tatiana took good care of our puppy. He had walks allong other dogs, she sent us pictures and made him feel comfortable away from home. She is a great groomer also; we were happy to find our energic puppy with a clean hair cut and cutted nails.”
“Alyson was wonderful! She was very patient with my dogs, even when they got nervous and peed on her floor. They quickly warmed up to her and her dog, and from the photos she sent, it was obvious they were having a great time. I will definitely rebook with Alyson.”
“Natthinee B is definitely a 5 star. This was my first time leaving my fur brother with anyone while we went away. We received updates twice a day along with beautiful pics. The meet & greet was very good!….. I knew from then it was going to be a lovely experience for my fur brother. Thank you, Natthinee for making fun and feeling like a home for my Frisco.🧡🦋…. Props to your husband as well!🧡”
“Kathleen took excellent care of my chihuahua, Cody. Over the course of a month, I boarded him with her a few times each week, and I always felt confident he was in great hands. She was responsive, kind, and incredibly patient, not just with my (very energetic!) chihuahua 🙃, but with me as well. I’m so grateful for the care she provided and would highly recommend Kathleen to anyone looking for a trustworthy sitter.”
“Cooper loved his stay with Robin & John!!!! Them, their house, and their dogs are all great! And I appreciate that they could accommodate a meet and greet quickly and take Cooper on such short notice.”
“Richelle was amazing with my puppy Kairo while I was away on my trip! She kept me updated every single day with pictures and videos, which made me feel so comfortable and reassured the whole time. Kairo had such a great time with her, and that means everything to me because I do not just leave him with anyone. She was caring, trustworthy, and made the whole experience stress-free. I would absolutely recommend Richelle to anyone looking for a great pet sitter, and Kairo will definitely be welcomed back into her hands again!”
“Felt comfortable leaving my dog with Marisa. She was great. Plus she has her dog and had a couple other boarding dogs my dog could play with. Will definitely book her again when we go out of town. Happy to have found her for Lela.”
“Thanks so much for another great stay! Can always trust Tiffany to take the best care and go above and beyond. Thank you for the extra help with his nails. Appreciate you!”
“Jannice was wonderful! From the moment we met, I could tell she loves animals. Our dog Lili took to her right away. I highly recommend her! You can’t trust just anyone with your furry baby, but I know I can trust Jannice. - Caroline”

Sheronda was great with my two dogs! They came home exhausted from the fun! She sent daily pictures and updates while we were on vacation so we knew they were well taken care of. Her husband and daughter are just as great and they are a wonderful family to work with! We will definitely be booking in the future! Thanks again Sheronda!
Chris & Jia continue to take such good care of Sunny while we’re out of town. Sunny was able to go swimming and was able to have company the whole time he was there which we know he loves versus being home alone while we’re at work. We are so happy he’s so comfortable with them and that Chris goes above and beyond with taking care of Sunny.
This was our first time leaving our baby with Kimberly and of course we were all nervous. Kimberly did very well keeping us informed of Ila's progress with daily, multiple photos. I was a little more worried because Ila didn't eat anything because she too was in a different environment and she's just a picky eater. Kimberly tried her best to get Ila to eat something, but it was difficult. I appreciated how she just took extra measures to help Ila feel comfortable. We will definitely ask for Kimberly's help in future.
Emmaly is amazing! She has been both our regular dog walker and boarding sitter, and I always know Nutmeg is in great hands. She sends lots of pictures and videos, keeps me updated, and it's obvious how much she genuinely cares about the dogs she watches. This stay was extra special because her daughters even threw Nutmeg a little birthday party! He came home happy, healthy, and completely exhausted from all the fun. I can't recommend Emmaly enough if you're looking for someone who will treat your dog like family.
Amanda was extremely organized and communicated clearly throughout the entire process. Her home was a perfect fit for Timon and he came home in tip top shape, ready to get back to lounging around on the couch. We would absolutely recommend and consider Amanda for future trips. It was a pleasure.
Frances and her family are amazing! Our sweet girl Dolly was in the best hands and we are so grateful that she got so much activity and attention. Frances was very easy to communicate with and gave plenty of pictures which made my day. Would absolutley re-book and reccomend
I didn’t think it was possible for my puppy to be tired but she is wiped from her weekend with Net and her pack! She had the best time playing and I was able to enjoy my trip knowing she was safe in a great home. Net was so accommodating about my last minute trip and understanding of my flat tire on the way home! I received several updates each day and we were sent home with some goodies! Will absolutely use Net again in the future. Highly recommend!

Frequently asked questions about Rover
The average cost for Pet Boarding in Watervliet on Rover is $49.65 per night (as of July 2026). However, all sitters set their own rates based on experience, location, and availability.
Rover makes budgeting the cost of Pet Boarding easy. As long as your dates and pet profiles are correct, the price you see before you book is the same price you pay for Pet Boarding. For more information on service fees, click here .
There are 420 sitters on Rover for Pet Boarding in Watervliet. About 90% of Watervliet sitters can respond to requests in under 60 minutes. Whether you’re planning ahead for holidays, need last-minute care, or need same-day coverage for an urgent trip, you can message multiple sitters at once to find available care.
Once you find the right match, you can arrange a Meet & Greet to ensure they are a perfect fit for your pet’s personality before confirming.
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.
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.
A Meet & Greet is a short introductory meeting between you, your pet, and a sitter. It can take place in person or virtually, although we recommend in-person so that your pet can get to know your sitter 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. Most pet parents and sitters on Rover welcome Meet & Greets because the process can give confidence and peace of mind for service experiences, especially for longer stays or first-time bookings.
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. 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.
Emergency support 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.
If a sitter needs to cancel at the last minute, Rover’s reservation protection means our team will work with you to find a suitable replacement as quickly as possible.
