“My two boys stayed almost a week and definitely were the happiest they have been away from their mom. The photos and videos I got I could just see it in their eyes following her all around her home, getting belly rubs from her children! She even let them sleep with her. It was definitely a vacation for them as it was for me! Already planning their next vacation :)”

“Amanda & Lee we're absolutely fantastic with our girl. They were able to come through for us in a tough spot and watch her for the weekend. Daisy was able to frolic and do all her dog things in their yard and she made new friends too. Would highly recommend them the next time you need to board your pup!”

About: I’ve had pets (dogs of all sizes and cats) my whole life and currently have two corgis. If there’s a dog or cat in a room, that’s where you’ll find me. I follow your instructions to a T because I believe the way you need pet care doesn’t stop when you leave for a trip. Also available for emergency drop ins and help, because you never know when life get crazy. Having pets myself, pet care it’s my routine! I focus my day around making sure pet’s needs are met, as well as try to go above and beyond to make them as happy as they make us. I follow your instructions to a T - if you need/want your pets cared for in a certain way, I’ll make sure that it’s done just as you need!

“Charlie took amazing care of our girl and I couldn’t be happier with the experience. Woody was well looked after, happy, and clearly comfortable the entire time. Charlie was reliable, attentive, and kept me updated, which gave me real peace of mind. I’d absolutely recommend Charlie to anyone looking for a trustworthy and caring dog sitter.”

About: I have been caring for animals my entire life and have extensive experience with cats, dogs, guinea pigs, and rabbits. I am comfortable providing attentive, loving care and understand that every animal has their own personality, routine, and needs. I am experienced with administering medications and making sure pets receive the proper care and attention they need. I also enjoy taking dogs on walks, playing with them, and keeping them active and happy. I’m responsible, patient, and genuinely passionate about animals, and I treat every pet in my care as if they were my own. I’m currently working full time Monday through Thursday. I am available Friday through Sunday and federal holidays all day. Weekdays I’m only available after 5pm. I’m happy to care for pets in my home and provide them with a safe, comfortable, and loving environment while you’re away. I have one friendly dog of my own, so your pet will have the option of having a companion if they enjoy other dogs. My home has a fully fenced-in backyard where pets can safely play, relax, and get some fresh air, and I also live right near a walking trail for enjoyable walks and outdoor time. I’m happy to follow your pet’s normal routine, give them plenty of attention and playtime, and make sure they feel right at home throughout their stay.

About: I have had dogs my whole life. Great with meds, after surgery care, senior dogs, walks an of course lots of play and cuddle time. I treat each dog as if they are mine. I work from home and can make my own schedule, which leaves time to spoil my dog and get cuddling and lots of play time in. I have an unfenced yard but plenty of room for your fur baby to run. I have a staffy that is a rescue and is very sweet and gets along with other dogs. If I come to you we will have lots of fun. I am dog cpr certified and take care of each animal as if they where my own.

Cannot recommend enough! Sheila takes such good care of Rudy, is sure to update us, and is so pleasant to work with. We love knowing our fur baby has a home away from home.

My dog doesn’t like a lot of people. Yasmin was the exception, she was incredibly flexible with my ever changing plans and accommodations for numerous things that came up last minute. By the time I finally picked up my dog, I think my dog liked them more than me. Cannot recommend Yasmin highly enough. Phenomenal experience 10/10 would recommend

The average cost of Dog Boarding in Black River on Rover is $41 per night as of October 2026. Most bookings cost between $33 and $56 per night. 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.

As of October 2026, there are 36 sitters on Rover offering Dog Boarding across Black River. Enter your ZIP code to see which available sitters are closest to your home.

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 Black River 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 Black River.

<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 Black River 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.
