“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.”
“Binta is great at communicating and taking care of all your pet’s needs. Leading up to my pets stay Binta was available for not only a meet and greet , but available for all my questions and concerns. This was my first time booking with not only Rover , but with a pet sitter . Leaving my puppy for 1 week scared me tremendously, but I was put at complete ease after communicating with Binta. She worked hard to stay on schedule with my pets walks and feeding times. She also kept him busy with park activities and socialization for my pup ! She kept me updated each day and was always available for communication! I would definitely rebook with Binta for future stays !”
“She really is amazing! Her house felt like a home soon as I stepped in. I asked so many questions because I was so nervous at first. But she made me feel comfortable and took her time. I can tell she genuinely loves dogs. She sent lots of pictures and updates just to make me feel at ease. I went away for 4 days and when I came back my dog was so happy, just how I left him. I would give her 20 stars if I could. She is absolutely awesome! You won’t be sorry if you decide to try her out.”
“I am incredibly impressed and grateful for the amazing care Naomi gave my two dogs over the 9 days she watched them. This was my first time using a sitter, and I was especially nervous because one of my dogs has separation anxiety. Naomi handled everything so beautifully and made them feel safe, happy, and comfortable. She kept me updated with pictures and videos, which gave me so much peace of mind. She has an amazing space for dogs, and you can genuinely tell how much she loves animals. She was so kind, patient, and answered all my questions without ever making me worry. I’m so grateful to Naomi and couldn’t have asked for a better first experience. I would 100%”
“This was my first time using a pet sitter, so I was definitely nervous, but Jada did an amazing job with Rex. She kept me updated throughout his stay, sent pictures, and communicated any questions or concerns. When I picked Rex up, he didn’t even want to leave, which says a lot! I’ll definitely be booking with Jada again. If you’re looking for a trustworthy and caring pet sitter, I highly recommend her!”
“Charmaine was wonderful with Oliver while we were gone! She loves animals and he was in the best hands during our trip, the pictures and videos were very welcomed as well! Book with confidence”
“I’m a first time Rover user and Omar went above and beyond to make everything super easy. I had to head out of town kind of last minute and needed boarding for my Pitbull Border Collie mix, Sage. We met up beforehand so he could meet her and I could meet him, and I really can’t say enough good things. Omar made me feel at ease right away and was great with Sage. She was instantly comfortable around him. When I dropped her off she didn’t even look back at me, which honestly says it all. He sent daily updates with pictures and videos, and was always on time for drop off and pickup. Definitely a 10/10 experience. I’ll absolutely be booking with Omar again. 🐐”
“Ir was a last minute request and I was fearful to trust anyone with Coco. But Jatna kept me updated with my 6 months old filled with energy frenchie with texts and photos easing my anxiety. Now I have a place to trust leaving Coco when needed. Thank you, Jatna!”
“Mariana was so communicative and took such great care of my dog. Agnes clearly enjoyed her time with Mariana. Thank you so much. I will definitely contact you, again.”
“I have seen various people say that their homes are like doggie day camps, but it would be hard to imagine any coming closer to that description than Rafaelina. She and her sister treated our dog and the other dogs as if they were their own. The backyard is like a puppy playground, fenced in and filled with ways to be active. The house was warm and welcoming. And we were given daily updates with pictures reflecting Dexter’s day: his playtime, his peaceful sleep. It eliminated all the concern we had about leaving Dexter, and helped us truly enjoy our time away.”
“Anali was AWESOME!! I never once found myself wondering what my Appa was doing because she made sure to keep me updated! From morning/afternoon walks, to play time, Appa meeting friends, and even about Appa being super picky with his food — she kept me in the loop. She sent me multiple pictures and videos throughout the day, and even offered training tips. Appa had soooo many other friends with him this weekend, and all of them got along great! I will 100% be keeping Anali as my pet sitter and recommend her to others ☺️☺️☺️”
“Lauren did a great job with Koda and we will definitely book her again! She was very responsive and provided lots of updates. We were comfortable knowing Koda was being cared for while we were away for the weekend”
“It’s so sweet and comforting to see how Ryan and Jefra treat Buttercup like their own. This was the first time I’ve left him with a sitter for so long (two weeks) and he got special treats, snuggles, and playtime in their hallway while it stormed in New York. I got updates anytime I asked, and as usual Jefra took stunning pictures of him that are hard to believe are just iphone photos! Anytime we come by with him they’re friendly, and easy to talk to as well. Would highly recommend.”
“Priyanka and her husband showed great care for Sage during his 4 day 3 night stay. They are stellar animal lovers and will be my go to whenever Sage has boarding needs.”
“Janise and her family took the absolute BEST care of my Daisy! From the moment she arrived, I knew she was in the best hands. Daisy had so much fun that she didn’t even want to leave! She especially loved spending time with Frankie, their incredibly sweet and gentle Bernedoodle, and I know Daisy will miss him so much! I also can’t thank Janise and her family enough for being so accommodating when I unexpectedly needed to add an extra day of boarding at the last minute. They were incredibly kind and flexible, and throughout the entire stay, day and night, I knew Daisy was safe, happy, loved, and well cared for. I couldn’t have asked for a better family to care for my girl. I’m so grateful and would recommend Janise and her family to anyone looking for someone they can truly trust with their fur baby! ⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️”
“John, took excellent care of our girl Cici. He was very communicative and always sent me pictures of her. She came back extremely happy. Cici is definitely looking forward staying with John again!”
“Everything went great with Miryam! She was extremely accommodating and was super helpful when my flight was delayed and my dog had to stay an extra day with her. She was lovely and would recommend to anybody.”
“Sandra and San were absolutely incredible with Leo! We left him with them for 5 nights and felt so comfortable knowing he was in such good hands. They were so warm, kind, and caring, and I really appreciated how much effort they made to get to know Leo beforehand and understand his personality and routine. It really showed how responsible and thoughtful they are as sitters. Leo got tons of walks, playtime with Penny, and plenty of room to run around in their big fenced-in yard. We loved all the photos and videos and could tell he was having such a great time. They were also so easy to communicate with, which made everything completely stress-free. We’d absolutely have Leo stay with them again and HIGHLY recommend!!!”
“Mayra was truly a life saver for being so flexible in taking care of Charlie last minute for us. I could tell that Charlie was in good hands as soon as I met Mayra,she’s so caring and loving. I couldn’t have asked for a better caregiver for Charlie while we were away. Thank you so much Mayra!”
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, 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 , 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.
