“Samantha was fantastic. She took great care of my older German Shepherd, Raven, which included special food and morning and evening medications. She checked in multiple times with pics which made me feel good and confident that Raven was in good hands. I'm already planning my trip next year and hope Raven can hang out at Samantha's again! Thank you!”
“Rocky was well cared for and content during his recent stay with Kathy and Tim. He loves them and they love him. I could not ask for better sitters which allows me to relax knowing that he is happy. Rocky enjoys their fenced in yard and their beagle. I will certainly book with them again if I need to go away. Thank you, Kathy and Tim !! Sheila Nelson”
“Ivy is a very shy dog so we were very nervous to leave her for the first time. Carol was reassuring in her kind gentle voice that she’d be fine. She sent daily notes and pictures. When I went to pick her up Ivy actually hid behind Carol. Hurt my feelings, but I knew she had bonded with Carol which is exactly what you want in a care provider. So thanks again Carol for an awesome job!”
“We could not have asked for a better first experience with using Rover for finding a dog sitter. Our dog Bailey was much more relaxed in a home setting than in the large kennel she had stayed at previously. Ema sent us multiple photos daily of Bailey taking long walks, playing with her own dogs, cuddles with her kids, and exhausted from all the fun. We commented often that Bailey won't want to come home with us since she's having so much fun while we're away. Thank you Ema & family for taking wonderful care of Bailey!”
“Brittani and her family are amazing! They treated Java like their own two adorable pups and sent me pics and updates throughout. I never worried and actually felt a little bad about cutting Java’s vacation short!”
“Dianna and Matthew were so accommodating and wonderful with our dog Reese! They sent consistent updates, wonderful photos and took great care of her. I was nervous to leave my dog somewhere unfamiliar but they were so patient with her and I would 100% consider leaving Reese with them again if we’re in the area. I appreciated how they made me and Reese comfortable and her safe while in their care.”
“Destiny has a lovely home that is very practical for petsitting. She has zones and rooms that can be closed off. Her beagle and cat both did well with my cat, no one was traumatized. But the best of course is the loving family my pet enjoyed. They doted on him and tolerated all of his quirks. I felt like he was so well cared for.”
“Natalie took such exceptionally good care of Goose, and he and Leo had a great long weekend playing together and going on walks. Thank you for your care and attention to him and making him feel right at home :)”
About: I've had pets in my life since the day I was born, and as a teen I spent several years working in an animal shelter, caring for animals and working with the health team. I'm experienced with puppies, elderly dogs, dogs with behavioral challenges, and visually impaired and deaf animals. I've also cared for dogs with serious health needs like cancer and diabetes. I'm not a vet or vet tech, but I'm comfortable with basic care like changing a bandage, and I know how to respond in an emergency and reach the nearest emergency care. I also sit cats, birds, small critters, and reptiles. For dogs, I like to start with a meet and greet, so I ask for as much advance notice as possible, though I'm flexible in emergencies. If you'd like, I can also arrange grooming and specialized training as an additional service while your pet is in my care, provided through a licensed groomer and trainer. Your pet will be treated like family. I work from home, so I offer daytime care during work hours as well as overnight boarding while you travel. Your pet gets plenty of one-on-one time and extra TLC when needed. All pet care happens in my home on a quiet street in the Village of Manchester. I work remotely, so your pet is never left alone for long. Dogs get lots of one-on-one time, and I'm happy to send updates so you always know how your pet is doing. I start with a neutral meet and greet to make sure everyone gets along with my dog Leo. I have a large backyard with natural tree lines and barriers, but safety comes first. Any dog in my care stays on a leash or tie out whenever they're outside, with no exceptions, even if a yard is fenced. I'm happy to take short walks into the yard, and if your pet prefers pet pads, I can provide those. Cats get a quiet room behind closed doors, separate from my own cats, and can stay in their crate, come out, or sit with me in my office. I know how to respond in an emergency and how to reach the nearest emergency care.
“Jennifer watched my dog for 4 days while I was out of then. We did a meet and greet ahead of time to make sure all dogs got along, which they did! They also have separate areas for dogs that would prefer not to overly socialize. My dog had a wonderful time playing, swimming and taking walks with Jennifer and crew. Jennifer was great at communicating daily and sent lots of pictures and videos. It was clear that nacho was having the best time. I definitely recommend Jennifer and will absolutely book again.”
About: I’ve had multiple dogs for 20 years. We currently only have one 10 year old mixed breed little boy but he is used to being with other dogs. I work from home in a quiet neighborhood, perfect for walks. I have plenty of time to care for your fur babies! I’m flexible and can take pets out as often as needed. I’m experienced with giving meds and injections. We can go for long or short walks, whatever works for your pet. My dog is crate trained but spends most of his time at my feet or laying in bed. I’m flexible with whatever your pet needs.
About: Hello, I'm Kylie. My two dogs, Shanti and Nova, and I would be glad to care for your dog while you're away! I'm a healthcare professional with over 20 years of experience, and I work from home full-time. My mother is a retired nurse and shares the home with me. Your pup will never be left alone. At least one of us is always here to give steady attention and company throughout the day. We live in a farmhouse on nearly 3 acres in South Bristol/Canandaigua, a quiet, peaceful setting where dogs can relax and settle in comfortably. Meet my pup crew: • Nova is 10, a border collie/golden retriever mix, and still young at heart. She lives for a belly scratch from anyone she meets and is always ready to greet visitors with her ball. She also loves her frisbee and a good bone to chew. • Shanti is 7, a chihuahua mix. She can be shy and standoffish at first, but she warms up. She spends most of the day snoozing and snuggling into the coziest nook she can find. Your dog will go outside several times a day for walks, fresh air and exercise, and I'm happy to add more at your request. In between, there's plenty of affection, playtime and treats, because a happy dog is a relaxed one. I've had dogs and cats my whole life and am very experienced in giving medications and managing special diets. I follow your dog's routine closely and would be happy to keep you updated with photos and messages, if you’d like. Every new client stay starts with a meet-and-greet so everyone can get comfortable, and I introduce dogs gradually. Message me about your dog's personality, routine and needs, and we'll make a plan together. I look forward to hearing from you. Pet care is built into my day. I work from home and my mother is retired and lives here too, so our dogs, and any guests, are part of the household routine. We take several outdoor breaks each day, depending on the weather, with plenty of time for play, snuggles and rest in between. Your dog stays in my home, where they're treated as part of the household. I work from home and my mother is retired and lives here too, so someone is always around to keep an eye on the pups and give them company. Safety comes first. Every stay starts with a meet-and-greet, and I introduce the dogs gradually. I ask about your dog's health, behavior, routine and any special needs ahead of time. All dogs must be current on vaccinations, with proof provided before the stay. I follow your feeding and medication instructions closely and would be happy to keep you updated with photos and messages, if you’d like. Sleeping arrangements follow your dog's usual routine. My dogs sleep in our bedrooms at night, so yours is welcome to as well. I'm also comfortable with crated dogs if that's what they're used to. Outdoor time is supervised, and we take several breaks throughout the day, depending on the weather. We live on nearly 3 acres in a quiet, peaceful setting, which makes for a calm, low-stress stay.

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.
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.
92% of sitters in Yale can provide daily exercise during dog boarding stays. Depending on the sitter, their home environment, and your dog’s needs, this 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 Yale 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 Yale.
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.
Yes, you can find sitters who have experience with handling special pet needs in Yale. On Rover:
- 97% of sitters can help with special care needs
- 98% can help with giving oral medications or injections
- 92% can help with daily exercise
You can also find pet sitters on Rover who accept only one pet at a time, which is ideal for anxious puppies, kittens, or senior pets who move at a gentler pace. Some sitters will also list availability for 24/7 care, also known as constant care, in their profiles.
Use the search filters to narrow down sitters whose specific experience or environment meets your pet's needs. When reaching out to your sitter, outline your pet's care routine and use the Meet & Greet to walk your sitter through your expectations.
You and your Yale 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.
Adding another pup to the pack? Most sitters and walkers offer a reduced rate for additional dogs. You’ll find these exact rates listed under the "Services" tab on any sitter's profile. Since every dog is unique, final pricing may vary depending on the level of care required.
