“Essence is the best! I know my dogs are in great hands with her. She is always flexible with us, she sends us updates without us having to ask, my dogs are always happy when they leave her place. She is the best and I am so grateful for her. Xoxo thank you Essence.”
“Naomi is absolutely AMAZING!!!! If you have any worries about leaving your fur baby with someone new, you can rest easy with her. I trusted my 16-year-old pup in her care, and she kept me updated every single day with photos, videos, and sweet messages. I never once had to worry. In fact, when we left, he cried in the car because he already missed her! I’m beyond grateful to have found Naomi and would recommend her to anyone looking for a loving, trustworthy pet caregiver—she’s truly worth it!”
“Stephanie and Corey were absolutely amazing with my baby! 🐾❤️ They were so playful and loving with her, sent tons of updates, photos, and videos, and truly treated her like their own. Their dogs were also the sweetest playmates for Piper! I usually get nervous leaving her, but they made me feel completely at ease knowing she was happy, loved, and well cared for. I couldn’t recommend them enough and would absolutely trust them with my baby again! 🥰🐶”
“5 STARS!!!! Victor is a loving and talented pet person. He saved me in a last minute travel situation! I have a big & powerful dog who is doing her best to be good & calm, but does not always nail it! He was AMAZING with her!! I could tell that she felt totally comfortable and loved the whole 2 weeks I was gone. He walked her a lot and was very understanding about her special attributes & need to destroy toys. She slept in bed with him & was allowed on the couch, which was really comforting for her. I booked him the day before I left town and he was professional, pleasant & flexible with timing. He obviously has a great connection with animals & is an overall lovely person to communicate with on the daily (he sent pics & videos everyday). This is the first time I have picked her up after being away that she is genuinely happy & chill. Def book him!! I have recommended him to my whole family & all of my loved ones who own dogs. He lives on a quiet street with really wide sidewalks, good if your dog has dog reactivity. Perfect experience from start to finish.”
“Charmaine was kind, professional and offered strong communication. This was a last minute request and she was accommodating, flexible, but still transparent about her schedule. Even though I wrote information down when booking her as a dog sitter, she still took the time to ask questions when we met.”
“Samantha is such a blessing to my dog and I. I needed care and support watching my toy poodle and she came through!! My dog really likes her! I can tell when I come to pick him up - he has enjoyed his stay! I look forward to booking her again !!”
About: I have had dogs and cats for over 30 years and they have been a huge part of my family. I am a lifelong lover of all animals and care for all of them. I no longer have my dog so I welcome the opportunity to spend time with others. I am a nutritionist and I work from home and have flexible hours. This enables me to schedule time in my day for dog walks. I live in an apartment and I have two dog friendly parks in my neighborhood to walk in. One of the parks has a very large field as well as access to trails in the woods making this an ideal neighborhood for dogs.
“Raymond and his family were amazing!!! We had such a great experience boarding our 10-month-old cocker spaniel them. They treated our puppy like one of their own, and the whole family—including the kids—welcomed him with so much love and energy. Raymond was communicative, sending regular updates with photos and videos. We will definitely re-book with him in the future.”
“Glory was an awesome sitter. She was extremely communicative and always sent me updates about my Shayna. I felt at peace while I was on vacation while my fur-baby was in her hands. She even took the time to bathe her at the end of her stay. I would highly recommend Glory as a pet-sitter.”
“Ryan and Jefra were the sweetest. They took really good care of my boys and constantly sent a lot of pictures. They were flexible and communicative. I recommend them for sure!”
“This was Piper’s second stay with Daisy… she was well taken care off and looked happy in pics and videos I got throughout the week! Daisy’s family took her in as one of the family! Thanks!!”
“Cindy and her family were so great with our dog while we were away - it gave us so much comfort to know Hank was in a loving home while we were away. We will definitely book again with Cindy!”
“Christina was so communicative and Neptune seemed very well looked after while I was away for a week. When I described Neptunes potential reactivity she took it all in stride and he did very well while he was there, which I’m so grateful for. I will definitely use her services again!”
“Adela was such a wonderful sitter for Griffey! She accommodated our last-minute request for a longer term stay and we couldn’t be more appreciative of how warm and receptive she was to watching our boy. She maintained great communication, sent pictures and videos and made sure to follow his medication schedule. We will definitely be booking with her again!”
Dog parents share their Rover experiences - Woodlawn
Omar is INCREDIBLE! We had a friend who was going to watch our 1 year old puppy cancel on us about four days before we were leaving for our wedding, and we were nervous about leaving him at a pet hotel so we gave Rover a try and booked with Omar for a stay. He was very fast in responding, and even though I didn’t have time to do a formal meet, we had a call to go over our Teddy’s routine. He was so attentive and asked detailed questions, and when the day came we arranged for a pickup. He sent pictures and videos of Teddy every day, socialized him with another dog who was also staying with him, and even showed us a new way to walk Teddy with less pulling. By the time Teddy came back he was almost sad to part with Omar! Highly recommend to anyone looking for a safe, attentive and fun sitter for your fur baby!
She took amazing care of my dog and showed so much love and attention! My dog felt comfortable with her from the very beginning, which gave me so much peace of mind. She truly goes above and beyond to make sure your dog is happy, safe, and well cared for. I highly recommend booking with her ASAP! She’s definitely one of the best dog sitters on this app. You won’t regret it! 🐶❤️
Brandi was great with Enzo! She watched him for a few nights, and I felt comfortable knowing he was in good hands. She was wonderful to work with, and I would absolutely recommend her to anyone looking for a reliable and caring sitter. I would definitely book with Brandi again
⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ I highly recommend Shaun as pet sitter! He was very caring, responsible, and attentive to my pet’s needs. He kept me updated, made sure my pet was comfortable and well cared for, and showed genuine love and patience. It gave me great peace of mind knowing my pet was in such good hands. I truly appreciate his dedication and professionalism, and I would absolutely trust him with my fur bany again. Thank you for providing such excellent care!
I had to travel for work right after my dog had a scary medical crisis. She wasn't fully recovered, she had some complicated medication instructions, and I was a nervous wreck. Not the best conditions for a stay with a new dog sitter! But Nathalie was wonderful. She is very kind and knowledgeable about dogs. She kept me updated on how Maple was doing, figured out creative ways to get her to take her meds, and checked in with me to make sure I was ok with everything. I came home to a recovered and happy (though sad to leave Nathalie's house) dog.
Jenette was terrific with our baby girl. It was our first time to leave her with anyone so we were nervous, but Jenette put us at ease. She stayed in constant communication and always responded very quickly. She well organized and detailed. We will definitely be leaving our dog with Jenette again!
Maria was excellent with my 8 month old Georgina. She pays attention to detail and treated my pup as if it were her own. Took her to the dog parks and Maria sent me so many photos/videos. Plus their resident dog got along so well with my pup and they had such a great time, together . Definitely will be coming back and using her services.
I couldn’t have asked for better sitters for Milo! Miryam and her husband are such kind, humble, and genuinely caring people. They made sure Milo felt right at home, showered him with love, and spoiled him as if he were their own. 🥹❤️ What impressed me the most was how quickly they got to know his personality, little quirks, and habits in just a couple of days. It gave me so much peace of mind knowing he was in such loving hands. I’m beyond grateful for the care and affection they gave my baby. I would absolutely trust them with Milo again and highly recommend them! 🐾❤️
Daisy was amazing! I had to call her last minute to pick up Enzo, and she was so accommodating. Enzo had such a great time, and I could tell he was very well taken care of when I picked him up. She even gave him a bath and washed his bed, which was such a thoughtful extra touch! I would definitely recommend Daisy to anyone looking for a caring and reliable sitter. I’ll absolutely be using her again!
Stephanie and Corey were absolutely amazing with my baby! 🐾❤️ They were so playful and loving with her, sent tons of updates, photos, and videos, and truly treated her like their own. Their dogs were also the sweetest playmates for Piper! I usually get nervous leaving her, but they made me feel completely at ease knowing she was happy, loved, and well cared for. I couldn’t recommend them enough and would absolutely trust them with my baby again! 🥰🐶

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 Woodlawn 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 Woodlawn.
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.
You and your Woodlawn 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.
