“Maegan took great care of both my dogs on a short notice. Sent pics daily to make me feel more at ease and reminded that they were in great hands. Love the indoor space she has created for dogs with direct access to her fenced in back yard so dogs were able to go outside at their free will. Will book with her again in the future.”

“Debbie was AMAZING! She will definitely be my go-to sitter from now on. She was so kind accommodating my last-minute request and answered all of my questions. Im usually so anal about who I leave my dogs with and schedule meet-and-greets well I’m advance, but something popped up last minute and she was She has a HUGE beautiful fenced in yard that my dogs went crazy for. Her two sweet chihuahuas were great company. Could not recommend more.”

“Couldn’t ask for a better and more reassuring experience!! Sylva and Mark are a great couple and went out of their way not only making Oliver comfortable but also understanding our concern for this first time boarding. They sent us several pictures and Oliver obviously had no problem making himself at home. He’ll be spending a weekend with them later this month.”

I highly recommend Richelle to anyone looking for a reliable and loving dog sitter!”
About: I have been taking care of all sorts of pets for over 30 years. I am very familiar with puppy, senior and all stages in between. Currently I have been given the responsibility of let outs for 2 adorable pups and mid day walks for another great pup when his family is on vacation. I am currently a stay at home mom . I am looking to fill my time with some pups who need cheering up while their family is away! I have a fenced in yard to keep dogs safe. Our family includes 3 dogs and 4 cats. The cats and dogs coexist well without any issues. 2 of our dogs are seniors who are very quiet. Our younger pup is 5 years old and loves everyone. He would be a great playmate for your pup. I am very hands on and will not take my eyes off your pup. They will be treated just like my fur babies!
“Vera kindly agreed to host our Piper with less than a week’s notice. She was super communicative, sending a reminder packing list prior to the visit, as well as detailed updates and lots of photos. Piper had a terrific time with Vera and returned home a happy pup. Thank you!”
“Alex was WONDERFUL! He went above and beyond to take care of my 70lb foster puppy, Sony. Took him on long walks and to the dog park ?. He was also super helpful when I couldn’t get the crate into my car. He went above and beyond by picking up the crate and the pup at my apartment. Sony was so happy and relaxed when he got back home. I will definitely book with Alex again.”

Kathleen was great with my two guys. I was a little concerned when she told me she had 10 cats, because my guys are not accustomed to being around cats, but they were fine. In addition, when I found out that Kathleen rescues animals, I was further convinced that my guys were in good hands. I hear that my youngest guy attempted to go on a hunger strike and Kathleen actually hand fed him! I look forward to using her services again.
Jack did an absolutely wonderful job caring for Moona! What really stood out was how much he genuinely loves animals and has such a natural knack for caring for them. I also loved that he keeps a smaller number of pets, so the dogs get plenty of individual attention and aren't lost in a big boarding environment. He has a great fenced-in yard for them to run around and play, and I love that they're able to spend time with him right at home. Moona had the best time with Jack and his pets, and it was clear she was in great hands. We couldn't be happier with the experience and would absolutely trust him to watch Moona again. Highly recommend!
These guys are great! Our dog is easy, and on the first nite she got a little house broken and took it out on them. But they found the way to relax her and show her love. When we brought her home, she was sad to leave them. My wife and I couldn’t have found any better sitter. We recommend them too anybody who needs a dog sitter. Thank You Guys very, very much
Marianne provided the perfect home away from home for my pup, who was very well cared over the couple of days she spent under her roof. I received lots of pics and videos and pupdates, and I know my dog would go back in a heartbeat! Can’t recommend Marianne highly enough.
Helen's great! She's clearly a true dog-person and has a system down for doing this. I got videos every day and the proof was right there in the picture: Oscar was having fun, getting affection at home, and great exercise with other dogs, (even when it was cccold out there!) Definitely will be going back.

The average cost of Dog Boarding in Alplaus is $50 per night as of November 2026. Most bookings cost between $41 and $61 per night. On Rover, sitters set their own rates based on factors such as their experience, the length of care, the number of pets, and your pet’s specific needs.

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.
96% of sitters in Alplaus 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 Alplaus 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 Alplaus.
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 Alplaus. On Rover:
- 88% of sitters can help with special care needs
- 95% can help with giving oral medications or injections
- 96% 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 Alplaus 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.
