“We've left our mini labradoodle, Cookie, in her care a couples now, and each time has been an incredible experience. Monique is very communicative and keeping us aware of Cookie's status, making sure we never ever have to stress about him. It's an added bonus that she has a couple of her own, which gives Cookie a chance to socialize and forget about his separation anxiety. Highly recommended to leave your loved ones in her care if you're in the area!”
“Copper's second stay with Jennifer and Brent was as successful as the first. Copper had a great time - And got spoiled by all the attention and special treatment -- Like getting to sleep on the sofa! Jennifer and Brent also took him hiking one day which we know he loves. We will certainly leave Copper with them again on our next trip to St. Catharines. Thanks for all you do for him and us, guys! Take care. Ron and Jen.”
“Naomi and Sam were AMAZING with my dog. Lots of communication and very friendly! They have a huge fenced in backyard, provided daily walks and you can tell they really love animals! Would 100% recommend for anyone looking for a good home to place your dog when away.”
About: I have attended and completed puppy training sessions for all of my 4 pets over the past 35 years. We have loved 2 Springer Spaniels and 2 Labrador Retrievers which are energetic breeds and love the outdoors. Outdoor walks, playtime puzzles and toys to keep doggies engaged and happy is the approach. Most of our family and friends have pets that we have looked after and boarded over the years. Looking forward to getting to know some new furry friends! I'm retired and have great flexibility in my schedule. I also intend to only focus on 1 pet at a time so they will have my full attention. I have a fenced yard and love in a very quiet neighborhood with sidewalks providing safe walking. I'm also close to a sports park that also has a lovely path system and has the opportunity for socialization with other walkers. I'm happy to crate your pet if that is the option you are looking for when they are resting.
“Anna was very communicative during Barleys stay. She sent pictures videos and updates. Her dog Pepper and Barley got alone famously. Anna was also accommodating for some slight time changes we need. We have already booked again.”
“We were very nervous about leaving our 9-year old frenchie (Gus) while we went on a family vacation over Christmas. How fortunate we were to find Siobhan on this Rover App. Our dog accompanied us to a short visit prior to our booking and we were immediately put at ease. Gus loved being there. While we were away we received regular updates with pictures and videos which reinforced our good feelings about how he was being cared for. When we arrived to pick him up he wasn’t all that excited to leave with us. We could tell that he loved his stay with Siobhan and family. We would 100% highly recommend!”
“We are so grateful for Genevieve and Alex for the great care that they gave Rascal. He’s a senior pup with special needs ( blind, meds, wobbly legs) and the patience, stimulating environment (including fun toys and walks), pictures, videos and updates put my mind at ease. I fully recommend Genevieve and thank her for treating Rascal like her own. I absolutely will book with her again!”
“I know my dog had a good experience because she was very calm when she came home, which indicated she was happy and hadn't been in distress. I received photos and updates on her behavior which were wonderful. Would definitely use Matrice's services again.”
“Couldn't be happier with the care Connor gave to Atlas. He also sent amazing updates and so many great pictures. It was clear that Atlas was super well cared for and we're so grateful.”
“Karen and Jorge were great with our little dog Gracie. Gracie took to them right away, was clearly comfortable in their home and they spoiled her with love and attention. They sent us photos and updates throughout the weekend. We will happily book again with Karen and Jorge.”
“Dana was awesome! She is such a caring and welcoming person. Our dog immediately warmed to her and it was easy to leave her in such good hands. Dana sent updates and pictures during our dog’s stay and it was easy to see how happy, relaxed and well cared for she was.”
“Where do I even begin?!! Michelle has to be one of the best dog sitters we have ever encountered in our lives. She pays so much attention to our dogs and loves them as if they were her own. I never had to wonder what was going on while we were away, as Michelle does a fantastic job with updates and pictures galore throughout the day. We were able to enjoy ourselves the entire trip because we knew our dogs were in good hands. Michelle goes above and beyond to make sure everything is taken care of. I highly recommend her services. Thank you so much!”
“Monica and her children were great with Nova. Nova got lots of attention and I got great updates and pictures regularly on how Nova was doing :) I will definitely rebook with her in the future”
“Kiara & Yves, did such an amazing job with my little kitty. She was so well cared for and the sitter was super responsive sending many nice updates and photos of Lottie. I would recommend their services to anyone who was looking for a sitter!”
About: I’ve been taken care of dogs since I’m young my great grandma had a great love for animals and that made me fall in love of every animal! I do take care of them and also give al my love I’m currently working part time 3 times a week and I have plenty of time to give to others that might be a little bit busy during the week I’m very clean and organized, Don’t have pets on my own right now in Canada but my dogs that are 14 and 12 years old live in my home country
“This was our first time using Rover and we couldn't have chosen better than Ruth! Ruth is just such a calm, caring person who we know loved our dog like her own. Our dog loves walks and he received nice long ones every day with Ruth. I think our pup was a bit spoiled with Ruth which we truly appreciated. We will choose Ruth again when we need the service and hope she will be available!”
“Collin was wonderful to have looking after my precious Luna. We met before my vacation to put my anxiety to rest. He had my kitty for 9 days and treated her very well. The communication and care he offered was appreciated. I received regular photos and videos during my trip. He even bought her some new toys. I forgot her scratch post when I picked her up and he dropped it off for me subsequently. Thank you so much Collin!”
“Catia was amazing with my boy! She sent plenty of updates and pictures, which I loved! She also took him for multiple walks and he came home happy and content. I highly recommend her services. I don’t trust just anyone with my dogs, but I’m glad I found Catia!”
“Noelle did an amazing job caring for our dog, Max, overnight! She took the time to schedule a meet and greet beforehand, which made us feel very comfortable and confident leaving him in her care. She showed Max so much love, patience, and attention, and it was clear she truly cares about the dogs she watches. I highly recommend her services and will definitely continue using her in the future!”

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.
