“Rene is great and my dog King loves her. Apparently he sneaked out under a small rabbit hole - not her fault cuz King tends to dig and look for where he can escape. He returned without problem and I will always continue to use Rene as my doggy sitter. She takes great care of him!!”
“Our dog Ellie had a great time staying with Kay. She kept us well informed of what Ellie was up to and gave her lots of attention and time outside. We got some nice pictures and videos during the stay. Thank you and we hope to have Ellie back in the future!”
“Ramanda and her family took incredible care of Wrigley when we were out of town. They sent pictures throughout his stay and he was active and loved on the entire time. He had an unexpected medical emergency while in their care and they acted swiftly to get him the attention he needed to save his life. We are so appreciative of their care and support!”
“Kj and her family did a fantastic job caring for our Penny Lane! Kj communicated frequently with updates and photos of our girl. Would love to have Penny board with Kj again!”
“Cassandra was very accommodating, and communication was great while Lambo was in her family’s care. We received pictures and updates during his stay, and he came home happy. This was our second time using Cassandra & Eric and we will definitely reach out to them again.”
“Alicia and Simon's family were wonderful hosts for our Toffee! Toffee was thrilled with his time playing with Daisy and the kids. When Toffee was not showing interest in his food, Alicia offered to add chicken broth which worked. We really appreciated her thoughtfulness. Toffee cant wait to go back to them and Daisy!”
“Our dog Sunny was well taken care of at Lori's home! Sunny received lots of love, walks, and cuddles during her time w/ Lori. Sunny will be returning to Lori's home for our next vacation. :)”
“Christina was so amazing with my Hunny. So many pictures I could tell she was well taken care of. Thank you so much for making the first time our dog being away from family or friends so much easier. Will definitely use her in The future”
“Melissa and her family were great. She was easy to book with and very accommodating with all of our requests. Our dachshund, Squatch, came home happy and tired from a weekend of playing and cuddles. We will definitely be using her again.”
“Trudy is absolutely amazing! My furbaby is very shy especially with new people and has separation anxiety. Trudy was amazing with Stormy. She knew exactly what to do to help win him over and make him feel completely at ease and comfortable. She sent multiple daily updates which helped me be at ease and be able to enjoy my trip. Will most definitely rebook! Highly recommend for all kinds of dogs.”
“Wonderful experience! We were nervous to leave our 3 1/2 month puppy for a week, but couldn’t have asked for a better sitter than Logan. Great communication, and our puppy came home happy and tired. Highly recommend!”
“Manami was fantastic and really came through! I got very sick on my trip and was not able to fly home, but she was able to watch my cat until I was well enough to fly home. I appreciated her flexibility and tons of pictures!”
“Any was great and really flexible with me as far as pick up and drop off times. I think her rates are really reasonable and she was awesome at sending me pics so I would be comfortable knowing my Tucker was doing fine. I will definitely use her again!”
“Nickolai was great. He was easy to communicate with and always prompt with responses. Our dog came back happy and seemed well taken care of for the weekend. We would definitely leave our dog with him again. Thank you!”
“I have a rather anxious & untrusting Collie so I had great trepidation about leaving him with a stranger. I needn’t have worried. Even during the meet & greet, I could tell that Donald & his dogs were a great fit for my boy, Captain. This genuine rapport continued during his stay with Don & it was obvious, even at pickup time, that Captain felt totally at ease in this setting. Donald has a setup at his home that caters to the comfort of his clients. The big selling point for me was a huge backyard, totally enclosed within a 6’ fence…great security for an anxious dog & reassuring for an anxious Mom. You can bet that Don & his “girls” will be my first choice the next time I need a pup sitter. He really ticks all the boxes as the ultimate canine caregiver.”
“Thank you Alanna for watching Haley! So nice to know she was well taken care of and we didn’t have to worry! She almost seemed sad on the way home! I hope you guys continue to do this we would love to have you watch Haley again. Thanks! Faye”
“April was very accommodating on short notice when another sitter canceled suddenly. Gracie was very comfortable and enjoyed the fenced in yard. I was very happy with the service.”
“Megan and Brandon were very accommodating and responsive. My dog was able to run around their wonderful fenced in backyard and play with their two dogs. I had full confidence in their ability to take care of him.”

Frequently asked questions about Rover
The average cost of Dog Boarding in Buffalo is $44 per night as of October 2026. Most bookings cost between $27 and $53 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. As long as your booking dates and pet profiles are accurate, the price shown before you confirm is the total, including any booking fee.
As of October 2026, there are 1,172 sitters on Rover offering Dog Boarding across Buffalo. 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.
95% of sitters in Buffalo 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 Buffalo 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 Buffalo.
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 Buffalo 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 MN 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.
