Patricia took great care of Rosco, our 1 year-old Boston Terrier! He was treated well, had so much fun, was able to run and play in the backyard - and we have plenty of pics to document it all! :) Thanks Patricia!

Lina provided exceptional care for my baby, Viper. From the moment I dropped him off, I knew he was in good hands. She not only tended to his basic needs but also showered him with love and attention. It was evident that she genuinely cared for his well-being and treated him as if he were her own. Throughout his stay, Lina kept me updated with photos and messages, which eased my mind and allowed me to enjoy my time away knowing Viper was happy and content. Additionally, her knowledge and expertise in handling dogs reassured me that Viper was receiving the best care possible. I highly recommend Lina to anyone in need of a responsible and caring pet sitter.

About: Hi there! I’ve always been surrounded by friends’ dogs (and other pets!) growing up. I remember learning how to walk, bathe and understand their dogs in elementary school and always begging my parents to have a fur baby of our own. I’ve learned a great deal through their personal journeys and am looking to have a dog of my own in the future! Your pet will be greatly loved, respected, and safe while you’re away without worry. And of course, updates and photos are guaranteed! I’m greatly detail oriented, meticulous and compassionate about all furry friends. I hope to love them like they’re my own. I work full time remote so I’ll be home fully during the week to care for your furry companion. I’m super transparent on when I’ll need to step out during weekends for commitments or errands and will let you know ahead of time. Despite being fully flexible, I would only accept boarding of dogs without any intense separation anxiety that may result in accidents in the home or continuous barking that would invoke noise complaints in my apartment building. For a suitable match, I would only board dogs that can be alone for minimum 4-5 hours. If they can only tolerate being alone <4 hours, we won’t be a great fit! I thank you ahead of time for your understanding and I’m always open for a chat if we want to talk more details! My apartment is an elevator and pet friendly building and we have a rooftop for fresh air and space. I live with my partner, no pets and with occasional friends that may visit (if your pet is okay with this)! There are parks nearby for long or short walks as well. My space is kept clean and neat at all times too! I never use harsh cleaning products in my home and I also don’t have any plants that may harm pets as well.

About: *I only take one pet at a time for boarding and day care (two if they are in the same family). For additional pets, please inquire. My rates are firm and reflect the level of care I will provide.* I know the feeling of never wanting to leave your fur baby behind. Wherever I went, if I couldn’t take my pets with me, then I would rather not go at all. But sometimes when work calls or when you simply need a little “me” time, we need help from someone we can trust to love and care for our pets while we’re away. I would love to be that person for you! My pet care experience comes from working at and caring for shelter animals, caring for stray cats, fostering cats and dogs, and loving my own beloved pets (My two dogs that have since passed - Terri, 18, Maple, 12, and cat - August, 4). I’m fear-free certified and have extensive experience caring for senior dogs and pets with special needs (especially cushings, CHF, CCD). I can help with giving oral medications and am open to assisting with other needs if you’re willing to teach. If your pet knows any commands or is in training, I’m happy to help reinforce their skills too (just let me know!). In addition to my experience above, I was also featured on NY1’s New Yorker of the week segment for my volunteer work at Animal Haven, an animal shelter based in Manhattan. My home is super senior-dog friendly with rugs all around the house so your pups don’t slip, pet oxygen for emergencies, plus strollers for pets with special needs. I work remote and have a lot of flexibility in my schedule. I offer pet day care, house sitting, and boarding. Please see my calendar for availability. HOUSE SITTING - overnight stays in your home. DROP INS - 30 minutes and I’ll do whatever is needed in that time. This could be a combination of feeding, meds, quick potty/walk, indoor playtime, etc. For high-energy, active dogs, you can extend the visit to an hour for additional walking time. BOARDING - Hours are from 8am to 8pm, with some flexibility on drop off and pick up times. Your dog stays overnight at my place. I do a minimum of 2-4 walks a day, depending on your dogs needs. Owners must provide food for their pets, but I can also accommodate for an added fee of $10 per day (includes treats/meals). Please ask about food options and provide allergy info + food preferences if interested in that service. DAY CARE - Drop off for day care is between 7-8am to 4-6pm. Requests past these hours will be considered boarding. I will love and care for your pet the way you do for them. I treat every animal I care for like family, providing patience, space, and extra attention as needed. I’m super safety conscious and keen on details, so if there are any particular habits, routines, or schedules you’d like me to follow, if your pet is trained or undergoing training and there’s anything you want me to reinforce, or if your pet has special needs and requires special care, please reach out to me with those details. I am always willing and more than happy to work with you to make sure they are cared for and to give you peace of mind. Rest assured, you’ll be getting plenty of updates and photos from me!

About: Hi, my name is Neshie! I’ve had dogs my whole life, and nothing makes me happier than being surrounded by them. I currently have a Boxer and a Pitbull/Schnauzer mix, and we’re always going on walks, hikes, and park adventures together. In addition to caring for my own dogs, I also volunteer at AMA Animal Rescue, where I work with dogs of all sizes, ages, and temperaments including anxious, fearful, and reactive pups. I also spend time with the cats there, making sure they get love and enrichment too! Between my own dogs, my shelter experience, and my time on Rover, I’ve had the chance to work with so many unique personalities and needs, and I truly love it all. I work from home full time, so my schedule is super flexible and allows me to offer everything from drop in visits and dog walks to daycare and overnight boarding. Whether your pup just needs a quick check in and potty break or a full day of play, I’ve got you covered! Your pet will always come first with me, and I will ensure their safety. I’ll always follow their usual schedule for feeding, walks, and playtime and adapt to their energy level. I’m patient, attentive, and will make sure they feel safe and comfortable during our walks. I’ll also keep you updated with plenty of messages and lots of cute pictures! I absolutely love meeting new pets and making their day. I look forward to meeting them, and I’ll love them like they’re my own! If you have any questions, please don’t hesitate to reach out!

Camey was a lifesaver for us when it came to puppy care. I needed someone to watch our 7-month-old puppy post-spay operation, as she could not attend daycare for two weeks. I had a sitter lined up, but the morning I went to drop off Bella, the sitter never showed up to get her or did not pick up calls. I had to go call out of work, take Bella home, and begin a new search. Camey was responsive, flexible, and willing to watch Bella starting that day! She was attentive to Bella's care, and her kindness was apparent from the first meeting. We were so lucky to have found her, and I highly recommend Camey!

About: I’m not just a pet sitter — I’m someone who truly understands and loves dogs of all ages. Having grown up with many dogs, I’m experienced in training puppies, teaching good manners, and helping them adjust to new routines. I’ve also cared for senior dogs personally and professionally, including my own senior dog, so I know how to provide gentle handling, health monitoring, medication support, and extra comfort. I tailor my care to each pet’s personality, energy level, and needs. High-energy pups get fun, structured play and guidance, while older dogs receive calm, attentive, and compassionate care. As a Star Sitter with 5 stars and glowing reviews, I combine experience, professionalism, and genuine love for pets to create a safe, nurturing, and joyful experience for every furry friend. With me, your pet isn’t just cared for — they’re loved, understood, and treated like family. Caring for pets is part of my daily routine! As a Star Sitter with 5 stars and repeat clients, I make sure every pet gets the love, attention, and care they deserve. I structure my days around walks, playtime, feeding, and snuggles, and I’m flexible with drop-ins, multiple visits, or overnight stays. No matter the schedule, your furry friend will always feel safe, happy, and loved — and I’ll keep you updated with photos and messages so you can relax while you’re away. I follow the pet’s routine closely, including feeding, walks, bathroom breaks, playtime, and medication if needed. I give plenty of attention, cuddles, and engagement to keep pets happy and comfortable. I provide regular updates and photos so owners have peace of mind while they’re away. I maintain a clean, safe, and stress-free environment for every pet. I adapt my care to each pet’s personality, energy level, and special needs, making sure they feel safe, happy, and loved at all times.

Lea was so good with my nine month old puppy. My dog has so much energy and loves to play. By the time I picked her up, she was exhausted with her tail wagging from the fun day she had. I also reached out to Lea very last minute as my normal dog sitter had to cancel last minute. Her response was quick and we were able to book the appointment within an hour of me reaching out. Lea asked questions to ensure that she knew how to properly treat Nala and what her normal routine was. She did a phenomenal job and I was very grateful that she was able to show my dog such a good time!

Lina is everything you could hope for in a dog sitter! From the moment Buddy stays with her, I have complete peace of mind knowing he’s safe, loved, and genuinely cared for. She’s incredibly attentive, keeps me updated throughout his stay, and treats him like he’s her own. What stands out most is how much heart she puts into what she does. Buddy is always happy, comfortable, and well cared for with her, and that means everything to me as a puppy owner. Finding someone you can fully trust with your dog is priceless, and I’m beyond grateful to have found Lina. I couldn’t recommend her more!

Mellow is a senior's senior that requires extra attention and care - diapers, bandaging wounds, walking with a sling, he's a handful for sure. Ziwei received all Mellow's care instructions with grace and asked all the questions which told me she was willing and able to take care of Mellow. She sent updates every couple hours which was very comforting. I hope the day went well for both Ziwei and Mellow and she'll be open to babysit him again in the near future considering his needs!

FAQs for Doggy Day Care - Coney Island

Frequently asked questions about Rover

The average cost for Doggy Day Care in Coney Island on Rover is $27.75 per day (as of August 2026). However, all sitters set their own rates based on experience, location, and availability.

Rover makes budgeting the cost of Doggy Day Care easy. As long as your dates and pet profiles are correct, the price you see before you book is the same price you pay for Doggy Day Care. For more information on service fees, click here .

As of August 2026, there are 11,395 sitters on Rover offering Doggy Day Care across Coney Island. Enter your ZIP code to see which available sitters are closest to your home.

Sitters on Rover can offer flexible scheduling, so you can coordinate times that work best for you and your pet—whether that’s early drop-off or later pick-up to match your Coney Island commute.

If your schedule changes, it’s best to let your sitter know through the app as early as possible. Many sitters can adjust pick-up and drop-off times when needed.

Think of doggy day care as your dog’s fun, supervised play date that happens to fit into your workday. Day care through Rover takes place in a real home. This offers a calmer and more personalized environment for your pup.

A typical day can include companionship, one-on-one attention, and same day pick-up and drop-off. Many sitters can also offer structured routines and exercise throughout the day. For recurring, weekly day care, sitters will include photo updates so you can see your dog in their element.

Here are tips for finding the ideal day care fit for your dog:

  • For some small dogs: In-home day care can be the perfect fit. Look for sitters whose "can host" section only lists dogs weighing 0–7 kilograms and/or 7–18 kilograms. During your Meet & Greet, ask about play areas based on dog size and energy level.
  • For high-energy dogs: The ideal doggy day care can offer scheduled breaks and outdoor spaces or activities. You can also find sitters who host multiple dogs to satisfy your pup’s socializing needs.
  • For dogs who prefer human-only companionship: Use the filters "Doesn't own a dog" and "Only accepts one pet at a time" to find the right care.

Play groups can be an option when you book with a day care sitter through Rover. Many sitters do host a small number of dogs at the same time. Smaller dog packs are generally safer, more fun, and ideal for dogs who enjoy playtime but also want to relax throughout the day. When looking for your dog’s pack, check the sitter’s profile to see if they "Accept multiple clients" or have their own dogs. Then during the Meet & Greet, you can see whether your dog is a good fit for their social circle!

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.

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 .

A Meet & Greet is a short introductory meeting between you, your dog, 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.

Yes, Rover is well-suited for finding sitters who can care for your pet within 24 hours. With 11,395 sitters in Coney Island, 87% respond to messages in under an hour.

You can message multiple sitters simultaneously to find the fastest available match. If you need care today or tomorrow, you can look for sitters with a "calendar last updated" notice on their profiles.

Sitters on Rover set their own cancellation policy, which you can find on their profile under their calendar availability.

Cancelling before a booking begins and before the sitter's cutoff time qualifies you for a full refund. Same-day cancellations for walks, day care, and drop-ins follow the full refund policy. Otherwise, for dog boarding and house sitting, you will receive a 50% refund for the first seven days of the booking and a 100% refund for the remaining days when you cancel the same day a booking should begin.

If your sitter needs to cancel within seven days of the booking's start date, then our reservation protection will kick in. This means our support team works with you to find a replacement sitter.
