“Our two beagles had a great stay with Jared! This was the first time we’ve left them with someone else and Jared was so accommodating, gentle, and kind with them. He also sent us frequent updates with photos. Our pups have separation anxiety and Jared was a pro at keeping them calm and distracted. We couldn’t recommend him enough.”

“Laura was amazing! From the day we went over to meet her and see her home we knew our dog Rooster was in good hands. Throughout our time away Laura kept us updated with pics and videos showing how much fun he was having with the other dogs in her care. This meant so much! He came home happy, healthy, and I’m sure missing the fun he was having all day at Laura’s. We will definitely be using her for all future trips.”

About: Your dog is going to have a good time with me because I really enjoy time with them, they make my life better every single day. In my opinion the safest way to know the love is sharing time with dogs, they always let you know how happy they are to have to near, they just are always good and better for our life with the hability to change a bad day in a few minutes with some with some licks and barks from them. Dogs are love, Joy, loyalty for everybody around the world. Undoubtedly! I am 100% sure about it. Let me be happy with your dog too :) I will be so glad I am a part time employee, so I have always some time to take care of your dog when you are busy and need some help with your fur friend I have an spacious home with one dog and always door open to receive your dog when you need help taking care of him or her

“My Golden had a great stay with Connie and family. She sent photos, gave updates, and we met before at a dog park to make sure our dogs got along. He was well cared for, and even sent him home with a goodie bad with some treats. They are much more like professional caretakers and couldn’t recommend enough.”

“I had a family wedding to go to and wanted to find a safe and comfortable place to leave Winston, my young dorgi (half dachshund, half corgi) who had never been away from me since I was lucky enough to get him. Laura and her family turned out to be the perfect people and place. With a beautiful, safe home out in the country, a deck and fenced in yard where he could play, a open-plan house where he was visible at all times, Laura’s place was perfect. And the bonus: three little girls who adored him and lavished attention upon him, much to his delight. Laura, herself, was wonderful, caring, professional, delightful. She took him on long walks which he loved, texted me photos and updates on this progress during the stay, saw to his every need and even made some recommendations to me as to feeding bowls which might slow his eating down (he snarfs up his food in seconds!). I was afraid he wouldn’t want to come home. But I think he knows he can go back and stay in this home away from home which he will definitely be doing the next time I need to go away without him. I can’t tell you the peace of mind that all this brought me, knowing that he was happy and being well-cared-for and loved.”

“I’m so happy to have found Julie to take care of my pride and joy, Zoey, when I need to travel. Julie was very accommodating and reasonably priced. She kept me updated by sending photos of Zoey a few times a day. During my trip away, my flight was cancelled. I called Julie, and she immediately responded that she could keep Zoey until I arrived. I feel blessed to finally have someone I can trust, and is readily available. Julie loves dogs. Zoey seemed very relaxed when I picked her up, no signs of stress. I believe Julie made Zoey feel very much at home. Thank you for your support Julie, I will definitely be booking upcoming stays.”

About: I've cared for cats, dogs, mini ponies, horses, chickens, cows, mini pigs, pot-bellied pigs, and tortoises after living on a working ranch with a wide range of animals. There isn’t a fur baby too small or too big that I can’t handle. I have an open schedule and can work with any routines. I can be up early or out late. And I can keep to any personal schedule your fur babies have. I have indoor kennels and outdoor kennels, multiple leashes and harnesses, and a large property to run around on. My house is extremely pet-friendly; snuggles on the couch are encouraged!

“After trying 4 dog sitters, we finally found Lauren and couldn’t be happier. She takes incredibly good care of pups, she’s reliable and flexible with scheduling. Even when we have last minute bookings, she’s been available every time. He’s the only sitter that our pup looks forward to seeing. And he comes back clean, with freshly cut nails. If you need a sitter you can rely on and trust to treat your baby well, call Lauren.”

FAQs for Dog Boarding - Dering Harbor

Frequently asked questions about Rover

As of November 2026, there are 254 sitters on Rover offering Dog Boarding across Dering Harbor. Enter your ZIP code to see which available sitters are closest to your home.

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.

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.

94% of sitters in Dering Harbor 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 Dering Harbor home-away-from-home, we recommend 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 Dering Harbor.

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.

Yes, you can find sitters who have experience with handling special pet needs in Dering Harbor. On Rover:

  • 95% of sitters can help with special care needs
  • 97% can help with giving oral medications or injections
  • 94% can help with daily exercise

You can also find pet sitters on Rover who accept only one pet at a time, which is ideal for anxious puppies, kittens, or senior pets who move at a gentler pace. Some sitters will also list availability for 24/7 care, also known as constant care, in their profiles.

Use the search filters to narrow down sitters whose specific experience or environment meets your pet's needs. When reaching out to your sitter, outline your pet's care routine and use the Meet & Greet to walk your sitter through your expectations.

You and your Dering Harbor 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 Rover Guarantee, 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 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.

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.

Adding another pup to the pack? Most sitters and walkers offer a reduced rate for additional dogs. You’ll find these exact rates listed under the "Services" tab on any sitter's profile. Since every dog is unique, final pricing may vary depending on the level of care required.
