“I can’t say enough good about Chrissy. Not only did she take excellent care of our dog, she sent daily pictures and videos (and we were gone for two weeks). It was very much appreciated. If I could give her more than five stars, I would. Thank you so much Chrissy.”

“Maegan took my two boys on very short notice without having had them before. She eased all my concerns before drop off. Once there we got the lay of the land and the boys were off and playing in no time. They came happy and tired. Thank you!!”

“Gillian is the best and u can tell she does dog sitting as a labor of luv because it is obvious how much she loves and is good with animals. We felt completely comfortable leaving our 10 mos Corgi Bear with her for the first time for a few days and could tell how much fun he had with Gillian’s dogs while he was there. Daily throughout our weekend she sent updates with videos and pics which made leaving him for the first time much easier😊”

She has a great back yard (fenced in), with lots of great areas to walk dogs. Overall we are super pleased, will be booking with them again!”

About: I take my responsibility watching your pets very seriously and treat each one like my own! Over the years I’ve cared for pets with all different personalities, routines and needs, and I always make sure all animals receive the same love and attention. Message me and I would be happy to meet with you and your pets beforehand so you can both get to know me! I work at a job in the medical field Monday - Thursday and I am typically home on the weekends doing yard work or just hanging out! I have a fully fenced in yard with lots of room for your pet to run around, I also own a crate if necessary! I am also comfortable coming to your house overnight or just for a mid day check in!

Our dog came back happy and obviously well taken care of. Definitely will use them again!!”

“This was Oliver’s first extended stay following a great trial overnight. It is hard to express how great it was for him, and, by extension, for us. Sylva and Mark made him feel right at home, and judging by the pictures, he took full advantage of this. Aside from our own house, we couldn’t have imagined how comfortable he looked, and how Sylva and Mark treated him as one of their own. Super couple who provide a welcoming environment for their furry guests! Thank you! Michael and Vivian B”

“Kania was AMAZING with our dog, Dude. She sent daily pictures and videos and was very prompt at getting back to us to help put our minds at ease while we were away. In the past, we have boarded our little guy at the vet and it always took him awhile to seem like himself again when we got home. Not with Kania! Dude acted as though he had never been away! That to me is a sign of a great sitter! Highly recommend! :)”

My dog Mojo stayed with Rebecca and her family for a week while I was on vacation and she was incredible! She followed all of my instructions, made sure my dog was always in a comfortable environment, and sent frequent updates and photos which I really appreciated. Mojo was happy and healthy when I picked him up, thank you Rebecca!

Tom took great care of our dog. He sent us photos and texts while she was with him. His dog Klaus is very mellow and was a good companion to Willow. He is an excellent communicator, keeping us informed and responding to every question/message. We would love to use him again as our dog sitter and recommend him with no reservations.

FAQs for Dog Boarding - Elnora

Frequently asked questions about Rover

As of November 2026, there are 382 sitters on Rover offering Dog Boarding across Elnora. Enter your ZIP code to see which available sitters are closest to your home.

If you would like updates while you’re away, you can discuss with your sitter how many or how frequent you’d like those updates to be. The Rover app allows sitters to send photos, videos, and messages about your pet, including how many pee or poop breaks occurred. You can message your sitter at any time through the app and our support team is available 24/7 by email or chat if you have concerns.

The personalized, in-home nature of pet care through Rover can mean more individual attention for your pet.

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.

96% of sitters in Elnora 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 Elnora 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 Elnora.

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.

Yes, you can find sitters who have experience with handling special pet needs in Elnora. On Rover:

  • 88% of sitters can help with special care needs
  • 95% can help with giving oral medications or injections
  • 96% can help with daily exercise

You can also find pet sitters on Rover who accept only one pet at a time, which is ideal for anxious puppies, kittens, or senior pets who move at a gentler pace. Some sitters will also list availability for 24/7 care, also known as constant care, in their profiles.

Use the search filters to narrow down sitters whose specific experience or environment meets your pet's needs. When reaching out to your sitter, outline your pet's care routine and use the Meet & Greet to walk your sitter through your expectations.

You and your Elnora 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.

Adding another pup to the pack? Most sitters and walkers offer a reduced rate for additional dogs. You’ll find these exact rates listed under the "Services" tab on any sitter's profile. Since every dog is unique, final pricing may vary depending on the level of care required.
