“Lola had a wonderful stay! Doreen gave her such great care and sent daily updates with pictures. Lola got to walk loose in the very pretty fenced in yard which she doesn’t get to do at home. I would definitely book again.!”
“Elizaveta did a fantastic job watching our Boston Terrier for almost 3 weeks. Our little guy is often afraid of new people and being away from our family, but with her he was super comfortable right away - I think her dog helped with the process. Definitely recommend and would use again.”
“Our puppy Luna had the most amazing time! Jocelyn made sure that she had her daily exercise and playtime. We also received videos, pictures, and updates during the 3 days she spent at Jocelyn’s home which made us so happy and reassured. Best puppy stay for sure, highly recommended!”
“Luna recently stayed with Jennifer for 11 days and had the best time. Jennifer was so easy to communicate with and always quick to respond. She sent multiple pictures daily and provided frequent updates. I never worried while Luna was in her care. There is no question that I’d leave Luna with Jennifer again any time I am traveling - it’s her new home away from home! Thank you, Jennifer, for taking such good care of my Luna!”
“We are very happy to ask Maureen for our Chamonix. Maureen was waiting for us in front of her house to do a first meeting before sitting. She’s very reliable and responsible. She kindly updated how Chamonix’s doing through her stay. We will definitely return to her if we needs someone next time.”
“Charmaine took a very good care of Teddy. She sent photos of him every day and shared what he was doing. Teddy looked happy and well cared for. I'd use Charmaine again. Thank you”
“Angie was great. She understands cat well. We left our kitten to her place, she took care of her and we didn’t have to worry about her. She was also flexible with the timings which I really appreciate as we were running late from our trip. She shared with us pictures of our cat and we felt relieved.”
“Chialing was friendly, communicative, and professional. She had our timid dog high fives within the hour. It was comforting knowing our dog was in good hands with the regular walls, a clean home, and of course a great host. Thank you so much!”
“Axl is a very reliable dog sitter. She was one of the few sitters that responded and didn’t cancel or ghosted me on the Rover. I truly recommend her for your dog care. Our dog - Peaches - stay at Axl home was amazing. Our dog had a lot of fun with her and her two other dogs. Peaches didn't even notice that we were leaving her with a new family. She was well entertained and taken care off. We were getting updates and pictures from our dog stay regularly. She really took a great care of our dog.”
“We are so grateful that Tracy was able to take care of Hank with a last minute boarding request. Ahead of Hank’s stay with her, we had a meet and greet, and Tracy welcomed us and Hank into her home and made sure Hank felt comfortable, letting him explore freely. We immediately knew he was going to have a great time with her. When we dropped Hank off, he got along right away with Tracy and her husband. They have a very nice and welcoming home, and Hank seemed comfortable from the start. He ate all of his food, was very active, and seemed completely at ease. Tracy was also very communicative throughout his stay and sent us pictures and updates on how Hank’s day was going, which we really appreciated. She was also very flexible with our pickup time. We had a great experience and would love to have her watch Hank again! I’m sure Hank would love that as well!”
“My three-year old golden doodle had a great stay with Laura and my whole family couldn’t be happier of the care that he received. Laura kept us informed of his activities with pictures. I highly recommend her services and I will definitely use her services in the future.”
“Yuri took amazing care of Jolie while she was sitting for her. She sent me pictures daily and updates about her well being and any concerns she had. I will definitely be booking with her again! Thank you so much Yuri!”
“This was our second time having our pet stay with them, and once again, we could tell how happy and excited our pet was the whole time! 🐶❤️ Even though we were away traveling and couldn’t be together, they sent us lots of pictures and updates, which made us feel like we were right there with our pet. We’re always so grateful for the loving care and attention they give. Thank you so much, as always! 🥰”
“Blanca is great with dogs and she stays with them during the whole stay. She is also comfortable giving medication if needed. Very flexible and outgoing, positive personality!”
“Joanna took great care of Teddy. I loved that Joanna hosted another dog of similar size to play with him. She took many pictures and was always in contact with me. Teddy looked very happy and satisfied with his time with Joanna.”
“Kelly was fantastic. So responsible, communicative and focused on making Zuko’s experience positive. She helped troubleshoot a tricky situation with his food as well. A gem!”
“Christine was so attentive and wonderful to Gertie! Our pup can be a bit nervous and Christine was so understanding and receptive to her needs. She truly is an amazing dog lover and I’d recommend her through and through!”
“Ralph and Eloise loved their stay in Nanuet!!!! They had a super fun time playing constantly. Ken and Irene sent us tons of photos to keep us up to date. A perfect vacation weekend!”

Dog parents share their Rover experiences - Elmsford
I feel that I left my dog to my family member. They took care of her as their own dog. My dog had a chance to be with other family and feels safe like vacation for her, interact with other people, not to be timid with strangers. She comes home as good as she left. When I ask for extension of day to care for her, they did not hesitate to say yes. I was traveling away , and it make you feel comfortable that somebody is watching and taking care of my dog in the way I take care of her. Great service!.
We had the best experience with Kaas boarding at Robert’s, would definitely do it again. We received updates of our boy and just felt like he was loved and cared for on his staycation. Big plus is that he has a lovely home/outdoor space and Kaas had two new friends in Arlo and Santi. Thank you ✨
Dog Lovers! I was apprehensive about leaving my tiny, 22 month old Maltese for the first time. However, after meeting Jennifer and her family at a meet and greet along with other dogs she was dog sitting, I felt relieved. My Maltese was welcomed into their home like a family member. Jennifer provided a warm and very safe environment. I informed Jennifer of all of her pet peeves and she made sure that my dog was always secure. Jennifer provided daily pictures and videos which enabled me to enjoy our vacation knowing that my dog was having a good time as well. Several of the videos taken from her home and walks were cute and funny. I can only highly rate Jennifer as a professional dog sitter who will treat your dog as her own. Also, thanks to Jennifer’s husband who assisted on walks!
Tabitha and her family took care of our dog Penny for over a week and it was a fantastic experience. She was very communicative / accommodating, would send us daily pictures and videos, and we felt very comfortable with her. You could tell they enjoyed taking care of dogs and treating them as their own. Penny seemed very happy with her stay. We would definitely use them again!
Catherine was amazing with us and our two dogs. We hardy leave them so finding someone who would give them the care, attention, and love they're used to getting always seems daunting. Not with Catherine from our meet and greet, to drop off, pick up, and the time in-between she was fantastic! She sent text, photos, videos, comforting us all along the way. Through those videos we saw wagging tails and smiles, we knew they would in great hands and could relax from worry about them while away. I would highly recommend Catherine, she's professional, kind, knowledgeable about dogs and is highly sought after. We will certainly be using Catherine again. Thank you so much for taking such good care of our little loves ❤️

The average cost of Dog Boarding in Elmsford is $56 per night as of October 2026. Most bookings cost between $45 and $89 per night. On Rover, 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.

As of October 2026, there are 13,306 sitters on Rover offering Dog Boarding across Elmsford. Enter your ZIP code to see which available sitters are closest to your home.
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.
94% of sitters in Elmsford 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 Elmsford home-away-from-home, 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 Elmsford.
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 Elmsford 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 , 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 .
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.
