“Truly exceptional care. Denise was very friendly. I picked up the dogs they were energetic and happy. Some minor changes to our vacation schedule were accommodated without issue. Highly recommended !!!!”
“John was an amazing sitter for Benji. He was flexible and communicative. He took great care of my boy and Benji loved the company of John’s dog as well. Would definitely book with him again in the future!”
“I am thrilled that I found such a caring and patient dog lover to care for my 2 babies/ dogs! Jodie was professional , sent me pics & videos everyday and has a true passion for animals ?”
“Gerald watched our dog in his home for 10 days, and we couldn't have been happier with the experience. Our dog can get anxious when he's away from home, but he was calm, comfortable, and clearly well cared for throughout his stay. Gerald took him on walks in the nearby park and provided excellent care. He was also a fantastic communicator, sending regular updates, photos, and videos that gave us peace of mind and made us feel connected while we were away. I would absolutely recommend Gerald to anyone looking for a reliable and caring dog sitter. We'll definitely be booking with him again in the future!”
“Sandy was great with Ella! She sent us a few pictures during the stay, which was so nice to see, and she has a beautiful backyard that Ella loved playing in. Everything went smoothly and we’d happily book again.”
“Nice enough fellow Had to bang on door for him to let us in at drop off. Place was a little overrun with dirty food dishes & disarray on the floor. Michael never reached out to us with an update on our pet. All our things were thrown out on the front porch at pick up. Dog came home full of “piss & vinegar” Think perhaps she didn’t have much opportunity to run & use up some energy”
“Amber was great! She watched my beagle for the past long weekend. My daisy used to like the majority of dogs, but is now a very nervous girl after being bit by a loose dog on a hike last year. She unfortunately is fearful and barky now around other dogs. Amber was great accommodating her needs and letting her be by herself. Would definitely recommend and use her again when needed”
“Pamela took great care of our two pups while we were away for 5 days. She is thorough in ensuring all dogs in the camp are comfortable together, and assessed each dog’s needs. Sends lots of pics and updates throughout the stay. Our pups were happy and tired! Would definitely book again.”
“We were nervous leaving Brody for the first time overnight but Wenxu and her husband reassured us he will be well taken care of. And he sure was. The adorable photos and videos started coming through and Brody was clearly having a great time and felt at home so quickly. Thank you so much for taking care of our pup! He will see you again soon!”
“Bella had a great time hanging out with Erin and her family. She got lots of ball time and cuddles. Erin made up feel very comfortable and welcomed our pup. She provided lots of photos and updates for the duration of Bella’s stay. We will be returning customers!”
“Kathi and company were great sitters on a short notice, they took great care of my dog, provided me with pics and updates twice a day. I will absolutely consider her to look after my dog for my next trip.”

About: I am a lifelong dog lover and owner. Started at 7 years old with my own boxer; now my eldest is 6 with my own dog and house. Usually take care of family and friends’ dogs, excited to share my love of dogs and outdoors with the world ! Currently a stay at home dad for two lovely boys (aged 4 and 6). Also we have a 10 month old bernedoodle that we love so much. So typically we are up early and get them to school by 9am, then I am free until 3 pm when I have to pick the lads up from school. Around 5 pm I can resume doing my walks etc well into the night; I have flashlights and reflective vests for extra visibility. I have a fenced yard with about 1/4 acre of yard space that is mostly covered with grass. I am a very attentive and active dog owner. Ex law enforcement and property inspector so I am always vigilant, proactive, and respectful of someone’s home
“Hannah was AMAZING! This was my first time bringing my dog to a sitter and she kept her for 5 nights while I went away! She made me feel very safe and comfortable by updating me, sending me countless pictures & videos of them playing and on walks, all while answering so quickly. Next trip I take I will definitely bring my dog back to her & I highly recommend you do the same! :)”
“We had such a wonderful experience! Dior felt right at home from the moment she arrived and was so well cared for during her stay. We loved getting updates and could tell she was receiving lots of attention, love, and even some extra treats. Especially because Dior was in heat we were so happy she was comfortable. The thoughtful gift keychain was such a sweet surprise and really showed how much they care about both pets and their owners. We came home to a happy pup and couldn't ask for more. We will definitely be returning and would highly recommend them to anyone looking for someone trustworthy, caring, and attentive to watch their dog!”
Dog parents share their Rover experiences - West Bay Shore
Estefany was great with our pup.! We have used her for a weekend trip as well as a 2 week trip and received daily pictures and updates. We weren't sure our dog would want to come back home with all the fun she was having. She was definitely well taken care of and loved. We will absolutely use her again and highly recommend her to others.
Jodie just watched my Franny for 9 days!!!! she was so patient, caring, understanding and tolerant of my “special” English bulldog. I highly recommend her to anyone. It takes a special person to do what she does and to care for your fur baby. Her communication was excellent and I couldn’t be happier for the care she provided. Thank you Jodie.
We had a wonderful experience boarding Chloe with John and his wife. They are lovely people, their home is immaculate, and it is obvious they love dogs and enjoy caring for them. Their own dog is very well behaved and got along well with ours. We highly recommend John and would certainly board Chloe with him again in the future.
If I could give 10 stars I would. Dyana and her husband were amazing. One of my dogs can be difficult and took to her immediately. I got frequent daily updates and pictures. She treated them like they were her pets. I cant say enough good things. When picking them up she had all their stuff neatly packed up outside so it could load the car first. Best sitter ever!
We absolutely loved Brenda. This was Cookie's first boarding with her and we felt at ease the moment we met her. She sent us so many pictures and videos throughout the day, and every one of them showed Cookie having the best time. It means the world to know she was that happy and that well loved during her stay. Brenda, thank you so much for taking such good care of our girl!
Pam and her staff were absolutely wonderful! I could tell immediately that she was a true animal lover who knew how to ensure that our dog was both comfortable and safe. The twice daily updates and photos made us feel like we never left and we knew he was having a good time and we could relax. We will definitely be using her services again!
Natalia went above and beyond, and I could not ask for a more caring and generous home to place my dog in while I was away. She sent near-daily updates with photos and videos and embraced every one of my loud but sweet corgi's quirks with care. Natalia, her dog and her household took care of my dog Athena and loved her truly as if she were their own. I think Athena might have even had a better vacation than me with all the snuggles, toys and fun she had! I cannot recommend or thank Natalia enough for the experiences and care she gave my dog.
Jamie is absolutely amazing!! She was an excellent care taker for our dog.. making sure to keep his meds on schedule... getting him to eat on a schedule when he normally doesnt (he's a grazer!) and allowing him priority position with her on the couch during the few moments of rest they both had. I got a regular stream of photos and check ins about my dog and never had a doubt he was in great hands. The only doubt I had was whether my dog was going to want to come home. She is so great with dogs and I know for sure we will be using her again in the future. Thank you for everything Jamie!!
Matt was extremely professional and accommodating. My flight was canceled on the return flight and was not able to pick my dog up. Matt was able to care for him while I made arrangements. Highly recommend using Matt for anyone in need of a dog sitter and will be using Matt's service in the future
My fur baby was well taken care of. I cant thank Daniel enough for the awesome service that has been provided. It was top notch! Very professional and kept me updated every day about my fur baby. I felt comfortable and will definitely use his services again. Thank you 😊
Jillian was absolutely wonderful with our 7-month-old puppy! This was his first time being watched by someone outside our family, and she made the experience so easy and reassuring. She kept him active, happy, and well cared for, and communicated with us daily with pictures and videos, which we really appreciated. It was clear our pup was in great hands. We will definitely be asking Jillian to watch him again in the future and highly recommend her to anyone looking for a caring, reliable dogsitter!
We left our pup with Debra for his first boarding experience, and I could not be more relieved. I was super anxious, especially since he was dealing with an ear infection, and we were in town for a wedding with no other option. Debra immediately put my mind at ease. She and her family were so kind and kept me in the loop with updates and photos. It was clear she understood his special needs and made sure he was comfy and safe the whole time. I loved getting the regular updates—felt like he was in great hands. By the time we got home, he seemed happy, healthy, and clearly well-loved. If you’re looking for a trustworthy, warm, and communicative person to care for your dog, Debra is awesome. Highly recommend!

Frequently asked questions about Rover
Rover is the largest marketplace for local pet care. Whether you're looking for pet sitters, dog walkers, or house sitters who specialize in pet sitting, you can narrow your search by entering your ZIP code to find sitters within walking distance in your neighborhood.
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.
Depending on the sitter, their home environment, and your dog’s needs, daily exercise 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 West Bay Shore home-away-from-home, 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 West Bay Shore.
<b>Tip:</b> You can upload your dog’s routine and medical info directly onto their profile so your sitter always has the details at their fingertips.
You and your West Bay Shore 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 , 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 .
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.
