“I am beyond happy with Kelly. She took such good care of Molly. I received pictures everyday and Molly always looked so happy. Will definitely be using Kelly again to take care of Molly.”
“Racheal was terrific with my min-pin, Raina! She was given lots of comfy places to rest and got along with Racheal's dog well. Racheal has a fenced in yard as well as land behind that for walks and she took her along on outings as well. Raina seemed very happy and relaxed when I picked her up. Great experience all around, recommend her highly.”
About: I grew up taking full responsibility for my two dogs, handling their daily feeding, walks, playtime, and overall care. Dogs have always been a big part of my life, and I truly enjoy spending time with them. Friends often trust me to look after their dogs when they need help, and I treat every dog as if it were my own with patience, attention, and lots of care Pet care fits easily into my daily routine. I’m available all day during the week as well as on weekends, which allows me to give pets plenty of attention, regular walks, playtime, and consistent care throughout the day I care for pets with a calm, attentive, and safety-first approach, whether in my home or a client’s home. I follow each pet’s routine closely, including feeding, walks, playtime, and rest. I live close to a park, which allows for regular outdoor walks and exercise. I’m very careful during walks and always stay alert to my surroundings to ensure pets are safe and comfortable at all times
About: As a fellow pet parent, I know how much trust it takes to leave your dog with someone new. That’s why I treat every pet like part of my own little furry family—warm cuddles, silly moments, and all. Your pet’s happiness and comfort mean everything to me. I’m available for boarding pet care on the weekends mainly. Also, open to be flexible and accommodate special requests. Please message me with your questions. I have a smaller fenced yard for quick potty breaks throughout the day and take my own two doggies for regular walks in the neighborhood as well. A minimum of 2x per day, rain or snow.
“Catia was AMAZING with Altivo. We left Altivo with her for 10 days and she sent updates regularly. She took him for daily walks, a trip to Canadian tire, the beach and car rides. In Every photo our dog looked so happy. He even had an issue with his ears that she took care of and snuggled him to make him feel at home. Definitely recommend her as she clearly loves animals and takes very good care of them.”
“Joanne P. was absolutely incredible with our dogs, Nala and Bella. This was their first time ever being away from us for an extended period (9 days), so naturally we were a bit nervous going in. From the very first meet-and-greet, though, any worries disappeared. Nala and Bella took to Joanne right away, which told us everything we needed to know. Throughout our trip, Joanne went above and beyond. She consistently sent photos and updates, which made such a difference in helping us relax and actually enjoy our vacation. It was clear in every message and picture that our girls were not just being cared for, but genuinely loved. When we came back, Nala and Bella were happy, comfortable, and clearly had a wonderful time. It’s such a relief to know we have someone we can trust completely with them. We couldn’t recommend Joanne more highly. She is kind, attentive, communicative, and truly treats your pets like her own. We will absolutely be booking with her again.”
“Bailey had a great visit with Monique! She got along well with her dogs, we got lots of updates and pictures, and she was very quick to respond! We felt very comfortable leaving our dog with her. Will definitely see Monique again!”
About: Hi, PJ here! I have had dogs and cats all my life. During the day I am a teacher, and I love nothing more than to come home and unwind with fur babies. I do have experience with reactive and anxious dogs as well with my own dog. Rest assured your pets will be in good hands with me. I am picking this up as a side job because I genuinely enjoy it, and I am working to get my first home! I do currently work Monday through Friday from 6:30—2:45pm. My schedule follows all school holidays being a teacher, so I do have some time where there is wiggle room. Generally I am able to get to a pet sitting location by 3pm. I follow strict routines that are set in place by the pet parent. Feeding times, walk length, play information and medications. As long as the routine is clear it will be followed.
About: Growing up we always had multiple pets and u currently own a feline best friend named Carlos! I am more than comfortable performing any sort of dog care! I work as an electrician during the day so I am available any time outside of 7am-3pm Monday through Friday. If the dog can make it through the work day, I am the perfect fit! I am happy to accommodate any sort of service for your dog. Just give me the details upon booking and I will ensure your animals are cared for!
“Monica was wonderful with our dog Bella. We were nervous about leaving her with anyone, and she eased all my concerns we got constant updates and pictures.. Bella had a wonderful time with her. Would definitely use her again!”
“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!”
“Jeff was absolutely wonderful with my dog, Stanley! He boarded him overnight and made the whole experience completely stress-free. His home was very clean and welcoming, which gave me great peace of mind right away. Jeff has such a calm and soothing demeanor that immediately put Stanley at ease and comfortable in a new environment. He also kept me updated with lots of photos and videos, which I truly appreciated. I would absolutely trust Jeff with Stanley again and highly recommend him to anyone looking for a caring and reliable sitter!”
“We were a bit nervous leaving our 3.5 month old pup for a couple days but she was perfectly happy and so well cared for! I would 100% recommend Richard, he took time with our puppy and sent pics to let us know she was doing great. She had snuggles and outside time and even got to play with the dog he owns. It was very stress relieving to leave our pup with Richard, knowing she was being well cared for!”
“Charlene took good care of Gracie on her overnight visit. We received lots of updates and pictures, and could see that she was enjoying her stay, playing and comfortable with lots of snuggles. Thanks Charlene!”
“Sarah was great with our dog Belle! She was super sweet and easy to communicate with. She wanted to know every detail so that Belle could be as comfortable as possible. She also sent pictures daily which made me feel better. You can tell that Sarah has a love for animals and is very passionate about watching yours. I would recommend Sarah to anyone looking for a sitter!”

Kiara and Yves are such a lovely couple! We really appreciate them accommodating our super early drop-off for Max before our flight out of Buffalo. They kept us updated throughout his stay, which gave us peace of mind. Max seemed to have had a great time and really enjoyed his stay with them! We’re so grateful and will definitely book with them again whenever we travel.
It's been a long time since we had to board Milo, a rescue, and this was the first time since we lost his brother, who Milo was strongly attached to. This didn't help his separation anxiety and other issues, baggage from an abusive puppyhood. But none of this phased Jackie. She took Milo in stride and provided a welcoming temporary home for him. Her place is spacious, offering room to roam and corners for curling up. Confident that we've found somewhere Milo is well cared for and secure, we will plan our future weekends away and vacations around Jackie's availability.
Amanda was wonderful with Loupy! I was a bit anxious as this was my first Rover experience, Loupy can be a bit of a nervous nellie, AND I was going to be completely out of service for four days, but Amanda was so easygoing and sweet with her that I immediately felt at ease. Loupy had a great time! I will absolutely be reaching out to Amanda again the next time I'm out of town.
Jaddua was amazing. He was kind and made me feel at ease when dropping Mando off. He showed me where mando would be staying and going out. You can tell Jaddua genuinely loves animals and Mando was loving all the attention Jaddua gave him. Couldn’t have asked for better people to take care of Mando while I was gone. I missed Mando so much, thankfully Jaddua provided the most adorable photo updates. If I’m in Buffalo again definitely request Jaddua again. Thank you! Love - Mando and Jasmine :)

Frequently asked questions about Rover
The average cost of Pet Boarding in Buffalo is $39 per night as of November 2026. Most bookings cost between $30 and $56 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.
There are 323 sitters on Rover for Pet Boarding in Buffalo. About 95% of Buffalo sitters can respond to requests in under 60 minutes. Whether you’re planning ahead for holidays, need last-minute care, or need same-day coverage for an urgent trip, you can message multiple sitters at once to find available care.
Once you find the right match, you can arrange a Meet & Greet to ensure they are a perfect fit for your pet’s personality before confirming.
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.
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.
A Meet & Greet is a casual meeting to vet potential sitters and communicate care needs for peace of mind before a booking begins. Only sitters who have never booked with you before can schedule a Meet & Greet on Rover; however, you are welcome to coordinate one in Rover messages with sitters you have previously booked. This can be helpful if you have a new pet or routine you want to go over with your sitter.
Meet & Greets can take place in person or virtually. If you are booking with a sitter for the first time, we recommend in-person Meet & Greets to get a clearer sense of how your sitter interacts with your pet or the new environment.
During the Meet & Greet, you will have a chance to walk through your pet's routine, medical needs, and unique quirks. Take the time to ask your sitter questions about their skills and expertise, and make sure the fit feels right for everyone. Meet & Greets are a great way to prepare your pet and sitter for longer stays or first-time bookings. Read our tips for your first Meet & Greet.
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. Cats may be required to have Feline Viral Rhinotracheitis and Rabies up to date.
By discussing your pet's health history early, you’re adding a layer of confidence for you and your sitter before the booking begins.
Emergency support is available by phone or email in English 24/7. When an incident occurs, we recommend that sitters contact our Trust & Safety team immediately so that they can connect your sitter with a board-certified veterinarian or offer other resources to help.
If a sitter needs to cancel at the last minute, Rover’s reservation protection means our team will work with you to find a suitable replacement as quickly as possible.
