“I felt very confident that she was going to love my pup as her own. All of the puctures & feedback i got from her while I was away for 4 days proved it to me. I love that she keeps only small dogs - my lil Buddy fit right in & was able to play with friends his size. I will happily use her again.”
“Shorty is a puppy we had not gotten a couple weeks prior to needing someone to watch him. We chose Joel and Crystal because of their reviews. Shorty wasn’t well socialized so we were nervous to leave him. Crystal sent regular picture and text updates through Rover. Shorty made new friends! He came home happy, healthy, and tired! I could tell they hadn’t used his crate (we requested only use if necessary) and he reportedly slept with a family member each night which made me SO happy!!! They care about the animals they watch. That meant more to us than anything!”
“We have a rescue dog who is nervous in new situations but Dee Dee was wonderful with her. She gave her a great atmosphere to feel calm and welcome, and then plenty of pets when our pup was ready. Dee Dee was communicative, cheerful, and sent us lots of photos, which we loved. We are definitely going to reach out to Dee Dee the next time we go out of town. She’s so delightful!”
“Diane has such calm, patient energy for dogs. She has a great house and a big yard for them to run around. You can tell she loves dogs, and loves having them at her house. We felt so comfortable leaving Annie there for 10 days, which was a long stay! She was loved and cared for in every way.”
“Brittany loved on my sweet Nova. She worked hard to make sure she was well taken care of. Nova has some unique special needs that Brittany gracefully supported. It’s always a hood sign when Nova doesn’t want to leave.”
“Wonderful experience with Alexis. Excellent communication. She took awesome care of Cooper. I was gone for a week. She sent pictures and updates. He was very happy and I never worried about him. Her love of pets is genuine.”
“My dog was well cared for and enjoyed playing with Amanda and Matthew’s dogs. He liked the attention he receives from them and was tired after returning home. I appreciated the photos, videos, and updates about my dog while he was in their care. Great experience overall.”
“Dylan was a wonderful dog sitter for Skittles!! We will absolutely use Dylan again. Thank you so much for giving Skittles so much love and sending updates regularly.”
“Amazing family!!! Keith & Co brought Grover into their home and holiday festivities and made him a member of their family♥️ I don’t think my precious pooch even wanted to come home. Truly felt like my boy was in the best hands♥️💜💙”
“Rio had an amazing stay and returned home completely refreshed. It was clear he had the time of his life! I highly recommend Tessa and Tyler P. They were fantastic hosts. They kept me updated throughout his visit, which I truly appreciated. I look forward to booking again in the future.”
“Highly recommend Corynne and Matthew! They watched our 2 dogs while we were out of the country for 11 days. They did great with both of them, which are completely different in their needs: one a very energetic 2 year old heeler mix and the other a 16 year old lab mix. They administered meds for our senior also. Our dogs had such a great time, they didn’t want to leave. Will be booking again - thanks!”
“Angle took great care of my dog! I received regular updates, photos & videos & my pup. He loved playing with Tahoe & the other Rover friends. My dog came back happy, tired & content. He had such a blast on his mini vacation! Thanks Angie!”
“Destiny was flexible and accommodating to my schedule. I liked the perodic update photos of Snowball eating,relaxing,going on walks, and playing with her dog Max. Her home is very dog friendly and I would definitely rebook.”
“These guys are amazing. Derrick stayed in touch the whole time they had my pup. I got so many pictures of her playing with all the other dogs that came to stay. Their backyard is basically doggy Disneyland. 100% would recommend. 10/10 stay!!”
“Erika is incredible. She will care for your dog as if she were her own. My dog, Ziggy, loves her and enjoys being with her. Erika is responsible, reliable, and very caring. Erika is truly a wonderful person and a great dog sitter.”
“Rocko had an absolute blast with Katelyn and her family. I'm so grateful for her endless patience with Rocko's 1-year-old-puppy energy, for her flexibility with my last-minute trip changes, and for her consistent communication throughout Rocko's stay. Look no further for your pet's care; Katelyn is the best!”
“Homer considers a stay at Lucy's to be a vacation of his own. He loves to run with Lucy's "pack" of friendly, sweet natured dogs, and knows he will play plenty of fetch, swim in the pond, and sleep in a snug spot of his own.”
“This was our second time using Ying and it was fantastic! He has really bonded with our dog and made him very comfortable. Ying gives him lots of attention and exercise and the two of them have quickly become good friends. We are so happy to have found Ying!”

Dog parents share their Rover experiences - Elmira
Malaia is the best sitter I have ever had. She kept me continuously updated on the care of my senior dog. She kept reassuring me that my fur baby was in good hands. My dog liked her and her fur babies from the moment they first met. I will let her keep my dog again very soon. I really like that the dogs have a nice yard to play in. She followed my instructions of giving my dog his food and medicine very well.

Frequently asked questions about Rover
The average cost for Dog Boarding in Elmira on Rover is $33.3 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 298 sitters on Rover offering Dog Boarding across Elmira. 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.
100% of Elmira 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 Elmira 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 Elmira 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 Elmira.
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 Elmira 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 OR 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.
