“Chrissy was just what our dog needed. She has a fenced in yard and friendly playmates for my Bandit who has tons of energy. She kept the slider open to the yard so the dogs could run in and out and play. Bandit is an anxious dog and I could tell from the videos that he was immediately calm and enjoying himself. We will definitely book Chrissy again in the future!”
“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.”
“My 8 year old, Curly Coated Retriever, had never been boarded before. Kyle made me so comfortable at our initial meet & greet that it reduced my trepidation of being away from my girl for the first time & I knew she was in good hands. Kyle’s daily pictures & comments made being away from my girl so much easier. It was very clear seeing how much Kyle loved dogs and she was such a good caregiver to my girl. I would strongly recommend Kyle’s service to anybody who wants to ensure their dog is in the hands of someone who truly cares about her furry friends.”
“Amazing as always! My doggie didn't want to leave her house. He has so much fun when he is at Peg's. She takes really good care of him and he loves her. She is very flexible when we are running behind to pick him up or if we need to drop him off earlier.”
“Elvis came back from visiting his best friend, Bear, exhausted from playing and a happy boy. I am so happy we were able to find someone that takes large breed dogs and gives him the space he needs to run around.”
“Natthinee did such an amazing job taking care of my dog. She communicated with us daily. She took care of my dog like she was her own. My dog gets anxious sometimes but I think pema had a great time in natthinee’s backyard.”
“Brigid did a great job taking care of our senior dog for the first time. She was very communicative and sent us photos of various happenings during the days that Jessie was at her house. We appreciated knowing that all was well while we were away. Brigid was very conscientious in following through with all instructions for our dog’s care. We have already booked her for another time.”
“Where do I even begin? Heidi and her family were life savers. I had a different host that I had booked well over a month before my trip, and on the day of drop off I could not get a hold of her. I was in pure panic mode, and I found Heidi. She lives even closer to my home so that was another bonus. I got all the pictures and updates constantly. She treated my fur baby as if she were her own. She gave my girl a homemade pup cup, sweet potato and rice on her food, and all the snuggles. I know that she was truly in the best hands, and the first host falling through was a blessing in disguise. I would definitely book with her again!”
“This was our first time ever leaving our two year old boxer overnight and we were super nervous. Anna is super kind, calm, and we felt very confident leaving our dog after meeting her. We got updates and photos despite it being a major holiday (thanksgiving) and it meant a lot that she took the time to give us peace of mind with updates. Picked up the dog happy and we will definitely be repeat clients!”
“Catherine is amazing. She and her family are so accommodating and they worked with us to schedule a playmate and sitting for our dog. Bold had a great time and came home and crashed from all the play she got. It was such a wonderful experience and I highly recommend Catherine for your pet's needs. We will be using her for all our pet needs going forward.”
“Carolyn was so amazing with our 3 year old golden, Ellie. She sent photos every day that we were away and updated us on walks or playtime. Ellie looked so happy in every picture and that made me feel confident that she was in good hands while we were on vacation. Carolyn is funny and so sweet. She’s a dog lover at heart and it shows in how she cared for Ellie. Ellie can’t wait to go back!”
“Thanks so much for another great stay! Can always trust Tiffany to take the best care and go above and beyond. Thank you for the extra help with his nails. Appreciate you!”
“Tatiana is fabulous and deserves 5+ stars. We were away for a week vacation and she took the best care of our dog, Gunther. He had snuggles and play time socializing with some new friends. We will definitely use Tatiana in the future!”
“Took great care of my pup! Was willing to accommodate his special needs. Received lots of updates and pictures. My pup had a great time and was well loved. Will be booking again in the future.”
“Cansu watched our puppy Winston for a week while we were out of town and made him feel right at home! It was our first time leaving him and she made me feel very comfortable sending us videos and pictures daily! He got along well with their dogs and loves running around in their huge fenced in yard! Thank you again Cansu!”
“I always get the best pictures of my dog when he is staying at Camilla’s. This past time there were great pictures with other friendly dogs and good pictures of my dog snuggling with dogs and loving people. All the dogs are so well cared for.”
“Definitely recommend Chris & Lindsey. This was my 1st time using Rover and I was nervous. They communicated with me frequently throughout the day and kept my mind at ease! If the need arises again I will absolutely book again with them”
“Alyson was wonderful! She was very patient with my dogs, even when they got nervous and peed on her floor. They quickly warmed up to her and her dog, and from the photos she sent, it was obvious they were having a great time. I will definitely rebook with Alyson.”
“Brittany watched our two pups on short notice for the weekend. It was our first time leaving them with someone away from our home. She was so kind and caring with our girls. She set our mind at ease and kept us up to date while we were away! We will definitely use her again!”
“We needed someone to watch our pups for a couple of days, and since it was our first time doing this, we were nervous. Megan put us at ease right away. She was flexible with our specific needs and sent us frequent updates, so we always knew how the dogs were doing. We came home to happy, well-cared-for pups. We'd definitely book her again and would recommend her to anyone looking for someone reliable and caring for their dogs.”

Dog parents share their Rover experiences - Ballston Lake
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!

The average cost of Dog Boarding in Ballston Lake is $54 per night as of October 2026. Most bookings cost between $40 and $67 per night.

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 Ballston Lake 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 Ballston Lake 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 Ballston Lake.
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 Ballston Lake 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.
