“Jenn and Brian were outstanding hosts for Cooper. Not only were they flexible with our times and willing to work with us, but they clearly understand dogs, owning their own dogs and having fostered dogs in the past. Jenn kept me posted on his activities and energy level, and clearly she wore him out as he's been sleeping since the moment we put him in the car 4.5 hours ago. Playing in their backyard and with their pups certainly wore our energetic 2 year old out. We highly recommend Jenn and Brian for their care with your dog.”
“Thank you very much Joan and Thomas for taking such good care of Oli, I’m sure he enjoyed all the walks and attention that you gave him. We were very happy that we were able to find you so quickly. We appreciate all your care for our Oli-fur 😊 Thanks again, Lorraine and Rich”
“HIGHLY RECOMMENDED! WILL DEFINITELY BE A REPEAT CUSTOMER! We couldn’t have been more appreciative with the care Erika provided taking care of our young puppy for the 5 days we were away. Erika’s pup Huxley was the perfect play mate for our pup to feel right at home and to help burn off energy. Erika was very easy to communicate with and sent us updates multiple times a day with how our pup was doing.”
“My dog seemed to have a good time while staying with Melissa! Melissa’s dogs were friendly and got along with mine at the initial meeting. The fenced in back yard was perfect for my dog who enjoys spending time lounging outside. Drop off and pick was easy and flexible.”
“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!”
“Kiara & Yves are genuinely such fantastic pet sitters, and kept my mind at ease during travel knowing that my cat was in such good hands! Not only were they very kind and pleasant to talk to, but Kiara was very knowledgeable about animals in general and shared some useful information. They were very diligent in making sure my kitty was being cared for properly, along with sending updates and pictures. From medication, to going out of their way to buy specific kibble that my cat was used to after not adjusting, you can be assured that your pet will be watched by responsible, enthusiastic, and caring folks.”
“Derek and Chelsea were nothing short of amazing in their care for our 2 dogs while we were away. They constantly sent pictures and updates which put us at ease. We also got in touch with them on short notice and they were able to accommodate us after I brought the dogs out for a meet-and-greet with them (and Piper)! They have a great property if you have active dogs, they went on long walks along/in the creek, through the woods and would also just let them play in the huge yard. Charlie, our 2yr old standard Goldendoodle, has to get 4 pills/day for seizures and they had no problems getting him his meds when he needed to take them. In the end, they were great and we’d absolutely recommend them to anyone looking for pet care!”
“Denae and Mark were absolute angels! They are such nice people! I felt that my crazy, young pittie was in great hands! Zero felt right at home during the first meet and greet and that made leaving her there for a long weekend less anxiety-inducing for both me and her as she is a bit of an anxious dog. They made her feel so comfortable! I will definitely be booking with them again and would recommend them for anyone! Lots of pictures and great communication! Thank you Mark and Denae!”
“Beverly was great! She sent several pictures of Lucy throughout the day. Very good communication. Lucy had a great time because she came home exhausted. Would definitely have Beverly watch Lucy again when we need a pet sitter.”
“Mindy took such great care of our Troops! This was our first long trip away in a very long time and we wish we could have brought him with us but are so happy that he had Mindy to take care of him! She updated all the time on what he was doing and we were all so excited to see all the pictures and videos! She is top-notch,highly recommended, I wouldn’t want to trust anyone else! 🐾🐾🐾”
“Crystal did amazing taking care of our two dogs over the holidays for an extended stay. This was our first time leaving our dogs for multiple days and Crystal sent us lots of photos and it put my mind at ease. You can tell she definitely is experienced! She handled everything really well. Our dogs are rescues and can be timid, in all the photos she sent they looked super comfortable and right at home. I recommend Crystal to anyone looking for someone they can trust to take care of their pups!”
“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!”
“As always Alena went above and beyond in her care for my fur baby Champ. My baby had an accident just a few days before I was set to travel for a wedding, Alena was willing and able to care for champ and administer his medications and watch over him. She kept me up to date with photos and health updates and made it so I didn’t have to worry or stress about him. I knew with her he’d be in good hands, and my pup was so excited to see her again. Thank you Alena for taking care of my fur baby!”
“My dog was so happy and calm when I picked him up, he must have had a great time and was comfortable. I highly recommend Alexis!! Will definitely use her again if she'll have Dobby!! Thank you for making a tough time in my life a little easier (college move in week).”
“Michelle did a great Job watching Sadie Mae! Was sent pictures consistently and updated. She took her for a walk/jog even in the cold weather. Will be using her for future boardings.”
“This was our second time using Rover, and I am so thankful we chose Charlette and her family. From the moment we dropped our dogs off, they fell in love — and honestly, so did we. Charlette was amazing. She followed everything I asked, kept me updated, and sent pictures so I always knew my babies were safe and happy. Her whole family treated my dogs like their own, and that meant the world to me. You can truly feel the love, the patience, and the care they put into watching them. I’ll definitely be booking with Charlette again. If you want someone who treats your dogs like family, she’s the one. We will definitely be booking her again.💕🐶”

FAQs for Dog Boarding - Elma
Frequently asked questions about Rover
The average cost for Dog Boarding in Elma on Rover is $44.4 per night (as of July 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 July 2026, there are 338 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.
94% 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.
