“Kelly was very accommodating and she accepted to dogsit for us as per our last minute request. Our dog had a lot of fun and he seemed to have felt at home during his visit, which was very reassuring. Also, Kelly provided daily pictures to update us during his visit. I recommend Kelly’s services. We are satisfied and we have already booked another stay with her this summer!”
“Erika and Nick were wonderful while watching my pup! They were very communicative right from the beginning, even took time to meet up with me before drop off to a sure that our dogs got along. They were very communicative the entire time they were watching my pup and sent lots of great pictures so I can always know how things were going. Will definitely be using them again!”
“I’m so grateful she accepted my dog last minute on the same day. She took amazing care of him and treated him like her own. I felt completely at ease knowing he was in such loving, reliable hands. We’ll be back!! Highly recommend!”
“Joan and Timothy were so amazing with our son! We were gone almost a full week for our wedding and it was such a blessing that we found them. It was clear from the moment we first met them that they were very experienced in dog sitting and their home was perfectly equipped and spacious for our boy. They made sure to walk through his entire daily routine with us when dropping him off and they provided us with daily updates, pictures and videos on how he was doing. He came back to us a smiling and happy pup. Would absolutely book with them again - thank you so much Joan & Timothy!!!”
“Charlette is very kind and caring, she will take care of your fur baby as if it was her own. She communicates quickly and often, leaving you no doubt about the situation. I'm not sure how I could give her a higher recommendation, but if I could, I would!”
“I am new to Rover and was very anxious about leaving my dog with somebody. Crystal was amazing. She is super communicative and sent me pictures throughout the time my dog was with her. My dog had such a fin time with her and her family! Will 100% be booking Crystal again in the future. Thank you again!”
“I made a last-minute booking with Katie and I am so grateful she was able to watch My Dog. She had a bunch of other very friendly dogs there and My Dog really enjoyed his stay!”
“My dog Joey stayed with Mindy again this year during our annual Buffalo Christmas trip to visit friends. Mindy was again very communicative and gave regular updates on Joey‘s well-being and snapshots of playtime with friends. Thanks again Mindy for being a great host to our boy!”
“Sarah was awesome! She was available on a pretty short notice and sent me photos and updates throughout the weekend. Sarah and her family are all dog lovers and very friendly. I highly recommend her and if I'm ever in need of a dog sitter again, she's first on my list! Thanks again Sarah!”
“Denae & Mark provided a second home for my dog, who emerged from their care happier and healthier than when he started. They stayed in regular contact to ease my mind, and I highly trust their capabilities in caring for canines.”
“No non-sense pet sitting. My dog was very well taken care of, got to play with other dogs and run around the yard. I got updates, pictures, and videos on a regular basis. Would highly recommend!”
“I booked Beverly because I thought she would take good care of my Lola while I was away. And she did. She messaged me almost every day I was away and sent pictures! Lola had a good time and got along well with Bev’s dog, Daisy. An added “perk” is the fenced in back yard where I knew Lola could do her “zoomies” safely. I didn’t worry about Lola getting good care while I was away. I highly recommend Beverly and would book with her again.”
“This was the first time we ever used a sitter on Rover and we will definitely be using Michelle again in the future. She made us feel so much better about leaving our pet with a stranger with the constant updates and photos. She’s responsible and loving and treated our Winnie like her own. Highly recommend!!! Michelle we can’t thank you enough!!!”

Guy was wonderful in taking special care of our elderly dog Oli. We would recommend Guy for dog care, he was very tentative to Oli’s special needs. Guy kept us updated on how Oli was doing and even sent a picture. Thanks again for taking care of him while we were on vacation! Lorraine and Rich

Frequently asked questions about Rover
The average cost for Dog Boarding in Elma on Rover is $47.17 per night (as of September 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 September 2026, there are 330 sitters on Rover offering Dog Boarding across Elma. 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.
91% of Elma 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 Elma 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 Elma 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 Elma.
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 Elma 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.
