“As always, I felt very comfortable leaving Zuri with Kelly and Maurice. I knew she would be well taken care of while I went out of town on travel. They even sent pics and videos which is a great touch. I highly recommend them!”

“I don’t think 5 stars is enough for Onayda. My baby has found his new second home with Onayda. She is the most loving, understanding, amazing person I have ever ran across that care for my baby! She will forever be his dogsitter! We love Onayda sooooo much! I wish I can submit a million stars for her lol”

“Thank you so much for watching Casio and Koa! We really appreciate the extra care given for Casio’s eye injury. As always, we know our pups are in great hands and have fun playing with old and new friends!”

“My family and I travel separately because we had not found the right sitter for our babies. We will never look any further, because Lindsey and her family treated my babies as if they were theirs. How do I know? They were full of smiles each time she sent us a picture of them, while we were away. We are now planning trips for the future, because Devin & Louie have another place to call home when we are away. Thank you so much. We look forward to future visits!”

“I would leave 6 - Stars if I could. My fur baby was well taken care of. Donna and her husband were excellent hosts. Their love for pets was very obvious. I truly hope I have the opportunity to board my baby with them again.”

“Aaron & Tia did an AMAZING job watching my Bella. They were so warm and welcoming and I left knowing she was in good hands. Thank you both for the care you gave to her. She had fun with her new fur friends as well! Thanks again! 😊”

“I had a wonderful experience with Monica. Very professional, her attention to detail to ensure the safety of my fur baby and others was outstanding. Communication skills was excellent, when I had to reach out to her she responded quickly and made sure I understood everything. The main thing that I loved. was the report card!!! yes, she will send you a report card to let you know how your pet is doing plus picture. A+ will definitely use again.”

“This was Balee's first boarding stay with Mady. She and her family were Ah-Mazing! I felt bad leaving because of an ear infection that he was diagnosed with a day before our departure. Balee received lots of TLC during his visit and Mady kept me updated about his adjustment daily (which was comforting).”

“Antavia was amazing! She took very good care of my fur baby! Apollo definitely enjoyed himself and the environment he experienced! Definitely will use her again!”

“We called Bianca a few hours if that prior to a spontaneous trip. She graciously accepted and took care of our dog wonderfully. Her daughter walked our dog and was great too! We will be contacting Bianca for any future trips! Highly recommended!”

“Crystal was fantastic! We left our small toy poodle Boba with Crystal for the holiday, and it was as if Boba had the time of her life in a puppy holiday summer camp, with so many nature walks and friends to play with. We are so lucky to have found such a beautiful home for Boba when we travel out of town, thank you!!!”

“I cannot say enough wonderful things about Zulma. From the moment I walked into her house she made me feel completely at ease about leaving my dogs in her care. She asked thoughtful questions about their routines and treated them as if they were her own. Throughout my time away, she provided regular photos and videos, that brought me so much peace of mind. It was clear they were happy, well cared for and completely comfortable with her. I was able to actually enjoy my trip knowing they were in capable hands. If you’re looking for someone trustworthy, responsible, and generally caring I will highly recommend Zulma. I’m so grateful to have found her.”


“Bianca was fantastic!! From the get go she made Bailey feel welcome, comfortable and loved! She is a genuine pet lover! Bianca was accommodating to our asks re Baileys rules, super communicative kept us updated during his stay and we could tell he was happy. Bianca has a great space and set up for the doggies. I would totally recommend and would def book again. Thank you Bianca and Family!”

“Shuling always makes me feel so much better about leaving my needy dog, manny, when I go for vacation. He always comes back with a huge smile and has so much fun playing with her dog, Bear. Thank you so much, Shuling!!”


“We had a wonderful experience with Mary. My dog struggles with separation anxiety, so leaving her can be stressful, but she was in incredibly capable and compassionate hands. From the start, it was clear that she genuinely cares about the dogs she boards and takes the time to understand their individual needs. She was patient, attentive, and proactive in making sure my dog felt comfortable and secure. I received updates that gave me peace of mind, and it was obvious my dog was being well cared for. When I picked her up, she was calm, happy, and clearly had been treated with kindness. I would absolutely recommend her to anyone. We will definitely be booking with her again.”

“Sabrina was AMAZING! Great with keeping me updated on JoJo and provided pictures along the way! Jojo has a great time and will definitely recommend Sabrina to everyone!”

Dog parents share their Rover experiences - Dunkirk
Madalyn and her family went above and beyond for our little guy. They took exceptional care of our dog who has history of separation anxiety and used their knowledge and skills to make sure that our boy felt like safe and free of anxiety and boy, did it work! I am so overjoyed that I found an individual who I can rely on to make my pup feel safe and happy!

Stephanie and Robert are AMAZING !!! We were nervous to drop our doggie off because he is a pound dog with severe anxiety but they took care of him like he was their own!. We got pics and updates throughout his stay. We were afraid he may not want to come home . We will definitely be using them every-time we leave town .

The average cost of Dog Boarding in Dunkirk on Rover is $23 per night as of October 2026. Most bookings cost between $16 and $47 per night. 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.

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 Dunkirk 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 Dunkirk 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 Dunkirk.
<b>Tip:</b> 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 Dunkirk 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 MD 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.
