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!

“We are so glad we found Brigid. Our dog, Roscoe, was comfortable with her right away when we had our meet-and-greet. Brigid asked good questions and took notes. She and her house are well-suited for a little dog visitor. She has a nice, fenced-in yard. Her couch is a cozy spot for napping, snuggling and looking out the window. Brigid stayed in touch with us leading up to our trip and while we were away. It was so fun for us to hear and see pictures of how Brigid and Roscoe were spending their time. I felt that they had developed a special bond and I can't wait to book Brigid again. I think Roscoe feels the same way.”

“I can’t say enough about Jaya & her family taking care of my dog Barley like he was one of theirs. She was quick w/ responding, and her communication was thorough. Barley loved his “sleep over” playing w/ Jaya’s cute pup Biscuit in her big back yard. She made me feel like Barley was safe & would be cared for just like her own. We’ll surely be hoping she is available again for our next pet sitting need. Thank you Jaya !”

About: Hello! I am 32 and a lifelong dog & cat mom. I currently have 1 big dog and 3 cats. I have been dog sitting for friends, family, and clients for as many years as I can remember. I’ve been an animal lover since I was old enough to know what an animal is. I’m comfortable walking large and reactive dogs, administering meds, cleaning litter boxes, and any other services you may need. Feel free to send a message to see if I would be a good fit for your fur family I work on weekdays from 10-6 pm, so I have plenty of time in the mornings, evenings, and on lunch breaks to give your furry friend loads of attention and exercise. Pets in my home are allowed on furniture and are allowed to sleep in the bed if they like to. We have lots of toys (for both dogs and cats) and enjoy lots of walks on the nearby walking trail.

“Richelle was amazing with my puppy Kairo while I was away on my trip! She kept me updated every single day with pictures and videos, which made me feel so comfortable and reassured the whole time. Kairo had such a great time with her, and that means everything to me because I do not just leave him with anyone. She was caring, trustworthy, and made the whole experience stress-free. I would absolutely recommend Richelle to anyone looking for a great pet sitter, and Kairo will definitely be welcomed back into her hands again!”

Jennifer and her Mom took excellent care of our Raya for 5 days. Jennifer was excellent to work with, communicated well and often, gave us plenty of pictures and updates of how our Raya was doing. Raya was on heartworm meds at the time, and Jennifer took special care to ensure that her activity level was kept low. They are very dog-friendly, having 3 elderly dogs of their own, have a nice fenced in back yard, and we certainly will keep her in mind for the future.

FAQs for Dog Boarding - Fort Hunter

Frequently asked questions about Rover

The average cost of Dog Boarding in Fort Hunter is $34 per night as of November 2026. Most bookings cost between $27 and $54 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 long as your booking dates and pet profiles are accurate, the price shown before you confirm is the total, including any booking fee.

As of November 2026, there are 365 sitters on Rover offering Dog Boarding across Fort Hunter. 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 Fort Hunter 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 Fort Hunter 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 Fort Hunter.

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 Fort Hunter. On Rover:

  • 87% 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 Fort Hunter 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.
