“This was our first time booking Rob for dog sitting and we will definitely use him in the future. When I dropped Penny off I expected her to be nervous but she immediately marched right into the house with Rob without looking back. A great sign. Then throughout the stay Rob would send photos of Penny looking totally at home. We could tell she was in great hands. Rob was communicative throughout and a pleasure to deal with. Thanks, Rob!”
“Brut and I have the Best Dog Sitter. Doreen, is very special person. I used to think Brut was her favorite but then I saw how she treats all the other dogs who are at her house. She make every dog and parent feel they are the special one. Brut and I love her. She takes such great care of Brut and he is always happy to see her. See you soon. Anne & Brut”
“Jennifer was wonderful. Communicative and extremely flexible. Received daily pictures of our pup who was happily exhausted on pickup day. Will definitely leave Fleur there again.”
“Emma took great care of my dog Buddy! She kept us updating by sending pictures and messages to check in! She was great at responding and looks like Buddy had a great time. Would definitely book again!”
“Brody absolutely loved staying with Danae! Usually when I pick him up he’s excited to leave but in this case he was sad to leave his friends ❤️. If you are a crazy obsessed dog owner like me, I strongly recommend that you book with Danae- your pet will be in wonderful, caring hands!”
“Thandi is amazing! After our initial meet and greet I knew I was leaving our dog in good hands. During our dog’s 5 day stay, Thandi sent many thorough updates. It was immediately apparent that Thandi was super attentive to Jasper’s needs and he was super comfortable with her. This was the best experience I’ve had with boarding our dog. Knowing that he was well taken care of and receiving so much love took all the worry out of our vacation.”
“This was our second time having our pet stay with them, and once again, we could tell how happy and excited our pet was the whole time! 🐶❤️ Even though we were away traveling and couldn’t be together, they sent us lots of pictures and updates, which made us feel like we were right there with our pet. We’re always so grateful for the loving care and attention they give. Thank you so much, as always! 🥰”
“Angie was great. She understands cat well. We left our kitten to her place, she took care of her and we didn’t have to worry about her. She was also flexible with the timings which I really appreciate as we were running late from our trip. She shared with us pictures of our cat and we felt relieved.”
“Mike was absolutely wonderful\! He picked up Judge right on time and delivered him safely and on schedule\. He was incredibly caring and attentive, taking Judge for walks and making sure he was comfortable and well cared for throughout the entire trip\. Judge is a big boy—about five times the size of most dogs—and he slobbers quite a bit\! Despite that, Mike made him feel completely comfortable, safe, and loved\. I truly appreciate the exceptional care Mike gave Judge\. I highly recommend him to any dog owner looking for someone trustworthy, caring, and dependable\. Thank you, Mike\!”
“I have encountered a lot of dog lovers but not like Will! My dog fit in perfectly, and honestly I loved that! I will definitely use Will services again, and even recommend a few of my friends that have dogs. If you looking for a Nanny that is a 10/10 , Will is your person .”
“Thank you Katherine for looking after my little lady Mel Mel. I knew she would be in good hands. Thank you for sending me pictures and videos also. I greatly appreciate it very much !”
About: What sets me apart from other sitters is my PASSION! I’m a 32 year old Taurus who has been on CLOUD NINE since welcoming my first pet in May of last year, since then, as a dog mom myself… I decided that I want to be that home away from home for other dog owners who may be apprehensive about leaving their pet in the care of someone else. What I can assure you is that your dog will be loved, cared for, and attended to as if he or she was my very own! I have a career in life insurance, and I’m home all the time, and my dog does get lonely I think! It would be great for him to have a fur friend as a play date sometimes, so I thought of ROVER!!! 🤩🤩🤩🤩 I hope to see all of your doggies soon!! I work full time as a life insurance agent, and spend most of my work days with the exception of Monday, at my computer, on the phone, or at the occasional in person event where I would definitely adjust my schedule here to reflect those dates. I live in an apartment with three flights to walk up. I can carry your dog up and down if needed, but my little Yorkieton skips right up and down! Lol Pets are allowed on the furniture, and Blue has a guest bed for visitors that will be washed frequently as well, and an extra blanket. Blue eats Instinct Raw, but also has Wholehearted brand dry food if your pet doesn’t bring any of their own, we are willing to share! Fresh spring water only and no tap water!
“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.”
“Consuelo and family take such great care - we booked for 3 different times in the week. and yes, our puppy keeps asking, "When are we going back?" Highly recommend!!!”
“Noelle is the absolute sweetest person ever. Me and my bf left our 9 month old pitbull/beagle mix Milo with her for 3 nights 4 days. From the moment we dropped him off she was calm, kind, very knowledgeable, and knew how to handle Milo right away since he still has a ways to go with socialization. She came up with a game plan instantly so Milo and the other pups could still play but also have relaxation breaks, she kept me posted, sent me pics and updates my entire trip. We have a trip planned for Italy in July and we will 100% be using noelle again !!”
“My Shih Tzu, King, is always well taken care of by Shane. Shane treats King like he’s his own when we board him. When it’s time for King to go home, he tracks Shane until he isn’t able to see him anymore and whimpers! He always receives the best care!”
“We are definitely happy with Jorge. Our Shi-tzu dog Chico stayed 10 days at his place. Chico had absolutely comfortable and fun time with doggie friends. Jorge sent us pictures, let us know how Chico's doing, and took her for nice walks. We highly appreciate his care and communication.”
“Pachara and Steven were very caring and accommodating. They provided regular text and photo updates and were flexible and accommodating of my senior dog and his stubborn behaviors and accidents. I would love to have them sit Czar again!”

We had the best experience with Kaas boarding at Robert’s, would definitely do it again. We received updates of our boy and just felt like he was loved and cared for on his staycation. Big plus is that he has a lovely home/outdoor space and Kaas had two new friends in Arlo and Santi. Thank you ✨
Dog Lovers! I was apprehensive about leaving my tiny, 22 month old Maltese for the first time. However, after meeting Jennifer and her family at a meet and greet along with other dogs she was dog sitting, I felt relieved. My Maltese was welcomed into their home like a family member. Jennifer provided a warm and very safe environment. I informed Jennifer of all of her pet peeves and she made sure that my dog was always secure. Jennifer provided daily pictures and videos which enabled me to enjoy our vacation knowing that my dog was having a good time as well. Several of the videos taken from her home and walks were cute and funny. I can only highly rate Jennifer as a professional dog sitter who will treat your dog as her own. Also, thanks to Jennifer’s husband who assisted on walks!
Tabitha and her family took care of our dog Penny for over a week and it was a fantastic experience. She was very communicative / accommodating, would send us daily pictures and videos, and we felt very comfortable with her. You could tell they enjoyed taking care of dogs and treating them as their own. Penny seemed very happy with her stay. We would definitely use them again!
Catherine was amazing with us and our two dogs. We hardy leave them so finding someone who would give them the care, attention, and love they're used to getting always seems daunting. Not with Catherine from our meet and greet, to drop off, pick up, and the time in-between she was fantastic! She sent text, photos, videos, comforting us all along the way. Through those videos we saw wagging tails and smiles, we knew they would in great hands and could relax from worry about them while away. I would highly recommend Catherine, she's professional, kind, knowledgeable about dogs and is highly sought after. We will certainly be using Catherine again. Thank you so much for taking such good care of our little loves ❤️

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 Worthington 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 Worthington.
<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 Worthington 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.
