Stephanie was wonderful & a perfect choice for watching & caring for our dog. Her home is very welcoming for taking in any dog/pup & has a very large fenced in back yard. Our Bella definitely got all the love & pampering she could ever dream of & came home very happy. Stephanie communicates well & sends pictures throughout the stay so you can see how much fun your pup is having. Will definitely be Bella's (& mine) go to sitter whenever we go away. Thans Stephanie for caring so much for our Bella & welcoming her in to you family home as if she was your own.

I can’t say enough good things about Nikki! She treated my big baby just like her own and put up with me being overly cautious before Finn’s stay with her. She is excellent at communicating and sent lots of sweet messages and pictures while we were gone. I almost can’t console Finn because he misses her and her pups! He probably can’t wait for us to go away again so he can go visit Nikki.

I couldn’t be happier with the care my dog received while staying with Monica. Having a virtual meeting was ideal for us to get to know Monica and for her to learn more about Bentley. This helped solidify that I made the right decision. From the moment I dropped Bentley off, I felt confident that he was in great hands. Throughout Bentley’s stay, I received updates and photos, which gave me peace of mind. It was clear he were getting plenty of exercise, socialization, and love. When I picked him up, he was happy and had obviously been well cared for. I highly recommend Monica to anyone looking for a reliable and loving place to board their dog. I will definitely be bringing Bentley back in the future!

WE WERE TURNED AWAY BY SOOOO MANY SITTERS... I checked the schedule of every sitter before making contact to ensure that they were available. I made contact with at least 10 sitters and got "I'm out of town" or no response at all. The issue was my dog was asked not to return to a commercial kennel "Muddy Paws." There was no violence or aggressive behavior, just anxiety shown by barking, howling, tipping food, and water. But all of this is in Ash's bio, and finally, someone was real enough to tell me. "After reading your dogs bio, I don't feel comfortable with him." So I gave up and started to cancel a much needed family vacation. Then I got a small sign and tried Lindsay. She was the only one who asked, "What happened at Muddy Paws?". From there, we exchanged texts, and she asked if we could have a meet and greet that day. We had a wonderful meet and greet, and she took Ash for our vacation. And from there, we were thoroughly impressed. We got pictures, videos, and text messages. My wife actually got a little jealous due to how comfortable Ash looked and smiled in every picture. Plus, he found a new best friend in her dog, Remi. Now, if you are curious to know how Ash did, I highly recommend you ask Lindsay. She even went as far as to write something the other sitters could read that would educate them on Ash's behavior. And we appreciate that so much. BUT AS LONG AS LINDSAY IS A SITTER, ASH DOES NOT HAVE ANY OTHER SITTERS. THANKS YOU, Lindsay, from the entire Jones family.

My dog Moon loved his visit with Denise and her dog Andy. Decent size fenced in yard for play, which my dog loved. Updates and pictures were sent. Moon even ate his food while there which he rarely does even for his normal sitter. I should mention she is very accommodating. I was a last minute request and my hours for pickup and drop-off were odd. Would definitely use Denise again.

Brian, did a perfect job of taking good care of our Furby! Our boy felt right at home upon coming into his house. Brian and his wife keep up well with making sure the house is clean and dog friendly. There are many doggy toys and much room for any furry friend to roam. I love how quick Brian was able to respond to our last minute dog sitting and boarding request. He kept us posted and took beautiful pictures of my dogs stay. I will most likely use Brian to watch Furby again if ever we are in the area again. Thank you Brian and family for the memorable photos of u and Furby!

Princess was our first intro into Rover and she was great! Princess displayed a genuine love and care for our sweet boy. We appreciated how communicative she was by keeping us updated with regular photos and reports, which put us at ease. Princess's service exceeded our expectations. If you're looking for someone who treats your fur baby like their own, we would recommend Princess!

I can’t say enough wonderful things about Chris and his wife! They took incredible care of my two Yorkies and treated them like their own. From the moment we met, I felt completely at ease knowing my pups were in loving, capable hands. They gave them so much attention, affection, and care—making sure they were comfortable, happy, and well-loved the entire time. I received updates that truly put my mind at ease, and it was clear my dogs were not only being looked after, but genuinely cared for. When I returned, my Yorkies were relaxed, happy, and clearly bonded with their sitter. That says everything. I’m beyond grateful for the love and dedication shown, and I would absolutely trust them again without hesitation. Five stars all the way—highly recommend!

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 .

FAQs for Boarding - Dunkirk

Frequently asked questions about Rover

The average cost for Dog Boarding in Dunkirk on Rover is $22.2 per night (as of August 2026). However, all sitters set their own rates based on experience, location, and availability.

Rover makes budgeting the cost of Dog Boarding 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 Dog Boarding. For more information on service fees, click here .

As of August 2026, there are 5,887 sitters on Rover offering Dog Boarding across Dunkirk. Enter your ZIP code to see which available sitters are closest to your home.

Every sitter on Rover has their own rhythm and routine, but most will follow the flow that keeps your dog happiest. Sitters can give meals on your dog's regular schedule, provide a comfortable place for sleep, and plenty of one-on-one attention.

95% of Dunkirk sitters also include daily walks in the neighborhood during dog boarding stays. You can also request photo and message updates throughout the stay so you can see which Dunkirk landmarks or neighborhoods your dog is enjoying.

If your dog is a little shy, consider booking a one-night trial stay! This practice run can boost your and your dog’s confidence before your trip.

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.

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.

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.
