“Andrew and his wife took excellent care of our dog over the weekend. It was his first time staying with them, so they sent me several updates and photos to let me know how he was doing. When we picked him up, they sent me home with a handwritten note, dog treats, and a new chew toy. A very thoughtful finishing touch!”

“Kiera took such wonderful care of my senior guy! I dropped him off at her home while I moved into my new place and I had such peace of mind knowing he was in good hands. Kiera sent me pics and videos of Chico playing and out on walks with her sweet senior girl! I will definitely bring Chico back to Kiera’s in the future.”

“Paige did a great job caring for our 2 girls!!! She communicated with us daily, sending great pictures! They returned home very happy!! Thank you Paige! We will be return customers!”

“Thank you so much, Molly & Nikola, for taking such amazing care of Kenyesita! She had an absolute blast on her adventures and played so much that she was completely tuckered out by the time she got home. It’s clear she was in great hands, and we truly appreciate the love and attention you gave her. We’ll definitely be booking with you again!”

“Erix was amazing! Super friendly and professional. He took great care of my boy Glacier and sent pictures and videos to keep me updated on how things were going. I definitely recommend him if you're looking for a sitter for your fur babies! Thank you again Erix for everything! You made everything feel safe and smooth caring for my boy.”

“Lisa and Jon took care of my dog for a full week and they were excellent. Great communication, and regular updates with pictures, and our dogs seemed to get along great. We had no issues and I’ll definitely be coming back to Lisa and Jon the next time I have to leave town :)”

About: I grew up with both cats and dogs, so caring for animals has always come naturally to me and remains one of the most rewarding parts of my life. I currently have my own dog, who I adopted as a puppy while I was in college and is now 4 years old. Raising her has given me experience with training, building routines, and understanding different stages of a dog’s development. I’m comfortable administering medication, brushing and bathing, handling anxious behaviors, and keeping pets on their regular care schedules. I also have experience walking dogs that pull and can confidently handle strong or high-energy pups while keeping walks safe and structured. Whether your pet needs active playtime, consistent routines, or gentle care and attention, I’m patient and attentive, and I treat every pet like my own. As a current medical student, I understand the importance of flexibility and prioritizing a pet's needs. I pride myself on being reliable, communicative, and dependable. Your pet’s safety, comfort, and happiness are always my top priorities. I am excited to learn about your pet's unique personality and am more than happy to accommodate any specific requests. As a medical student, my schedule is currently very flexible, which allows me to thoughtfully plan pet care into my daily and weekly routine. While there are periods of time when I am less available, I’m committed to clear communication about my availability and will always work to accommodate your pet’s needs as best as possible. Time management is extremely important to my academic program, and I bring that same organization, dependability, and attention to detail to pet care. I take pride in my work and practice compassionate, attentive care in everything I do. Most importantly, I genuinely love animals and value the trust you place in me to care for them. In my home, I provide a safe, calm, and structured environment where pets can feel comfortable and secure. I currently live in an apartment located directly across the street from a dog park with both large and small dog areas, which allows for convenient, safe, and appropriate exercise based on your dog’s size and temperament. The neighborhood is safe and very pet-friendly. I’m attentive to maintaining each pet’s normal routine, including feeding schedules, walks, playtime, and any medications or special care needs. I make sure pets receive both physical activity and plenty of attention and affection. When caring for pets in a client’s home, I prioritize consistency and respect for your space. I’m happy to follow detailed instructions and maintain your pet’s usual routine to minimize stress. I’m also willing to travel or make special trips if your dog attends daycare, has a preferred park, or enjoys a specific walking route. My goal is to make your pet feel as comfortable and cared for as possible, wherever they are.
“We are so grateful to have found Staci. She saved us by accepting our request two days before we were meant to leave on vacation. We have a 9 year old English bulldog and she took such wonderful care of her! She provided pick up and drop off services, sent us daily photos and updates, was prompt responding to our messages and punctual! To top it off she is so lovely, very warm, thoughtful and caring. Our Zoe even followed her back to her car to leave with her at drop off. We are so pleased with Staci’s services and would highly recommend her to anyone looking for someone who would care for their pets as if they were their own. Thank you again Staci, you are truly wonderful! 🌟”
“Elizabeth is great! She is super caring with our needy dachshund. She is also kind enough to keep him separate from the bigger dogs. We’ve sent our Alex to her for a couple of family vacations, and for sure we will again! Thank you!”

“Nina was a lifesaver! She was able to schedule a meet and greet, and book our dog for the weekend with short notice. She was very communicative. We received updates, and pictures, which was so appreciated. Our dog seemed very content during his stay with Nina. We are looking forward to using her again!”

“Joan and Duncan were great. They have a lovely home on a quiet street, were very responsive and thoughtful. Oakey enjoyed his time there and I felt comfortable with them taking care of him.”

“This was our first time using the Rover app. Irina made it so easy and we instantly felt comfortable with her. Our puppy is only 5 months old and still a baby and Irina was great with her! She stayed in touch throughout our trip and sent pictures and put our mind at ease. I would definitely recommend using Irina. We are already booked again!”

“Eden and her mom were absolutely phenomenal caregivers to our dog Mindy on our first extended trip! They welcomed her in with open arms and treated her like family with so much love and care. Eden sent lots of updates and pics which we loved and helped put us at ease knowing she was in great hands. Mindy loved having a companion (their pup Cruizey) throughout the week. Eden is extremely knowledgeable and tremendously thoughtful. I can’t say enough about how much we love and appreciate Eden and her mom, and their sweet pup Cruizey! Mindy can’t wait for her next stay!”

“Angela did an amazing job taking care of Gigi. Gigi was a happy tired girl when I picked her up from having so much fun. Highly recommend. I look forward to using Angela again.”

“Daylin was the best! I had never left my dog with anyone before and I was sooo nervous to leave my Jazzy for a week with a stranger. Daylin met us and she sent photos and videos multiple times per day. She responded quickly and made me feel very at ease. Her dog Maggie is Jazzy’s new best friend. She has a beautifully fenced in back yard and she was so loving. I think my girl was a bit spoiled with Daylin and I love that!!!! I would definitely use Daylin again for my baby!!!!! Highly, highly recommend her!!!”

“Our first time using Rover and Brent was amazing! He set up a meet and greet to ensure his and our/Oscar's comfort. Brent is very friendly and Oscar took a liking to him immediately. Brent kept us updated with pictures and video while we were gone and he was super accommodating with pickup and drop off times. We will definitely be using him again!”

“Tawni is an amazing pet sitter. Iggy, my pet dog apparently had a great time, evident from the numerous pictures that Tawni shared pro-actively and also she was pretty energized on her return :-) I am sure Iggy did not miss us a bit :-) Thanks Tawni for all your help and support. We sure have found a second home for Iggy in our absence.”


“Carrie and her husband took excellent care of my almost 16 year old pug. I haven’t left her with anyone else in a very long time so was a little nervous, for both her and the sitter. She kept me updated with texts and pictures and was told she was just fine. I’m hoping she can go there again when I need overnight stays.”

“I needed a last minute boarding for my dog on Memorial Day Weekend. I had never used Rover previously but a friend recommended it. At first, I was a little nervous leaving my dog with strangers but didn’t have many other options. I brought my dog to Matthew and Christie’s house to meet them and their dog a day or two prior and was immediately relieved. They have a very pet friendly set up, fenced in yard, and our dogs immediately became friends. While I was out of town, they sent me updates and pictures, responded to all my messages immediately, and made me comfortable knowing my dog was in excellent hands. I will definitely be recommending them to anyone who needs a doggy sitter!”

Tiffany was such a good sitter! Buster really enjoyed his stay, and we enjoyed having her care for him. She provided regular updates, was super responsive, and attentive to my fur baby. You can tell she loves dogs and treated Buster like her own. I will rebook in the future. Thank you Tiffany!

Wonderful dog sitter. I had absolutely no concern when I dropped off my Labrador, except that she might like him more than me 😊. He was very flexible taking in my dog over Easter weekend with less than a day of notice because I had to be in the hospital for surgery on very short notice. I appreciate what he did and I know my dog enjoyed her stay!

The average cost for Pet Boarding in Clay on Rover is $44.4 per night (as of July 2026). However, all sitters set their own rates based on experience, location, and availability.

There are 220 sitters on Rover for Pet Boarding in Clay. About 89% of Clay 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 short introductory meeting between you, your pet, and a sitter. It can take place in person or virtually, although we recommend in-person so that your pet can get to know your sitter 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. Most pet parents and sitters on Rover welcome Meet & Greets because the process can give confidence and peace of mind for service experiences, especially for longer stays or first-time bookings.
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.
