“Samantha and her partner were absolutely amazing. They are the best sitters I have met by far. I 10000/10 recommend. Samantha updated me throughout my dog's stay. I will definitely rebook.”
“Brigid did a great job taking care of our senior dog for the first time. She was very communicative and sent us photos of various happenings during the days that Jessie was at her house. We appreciated knowing that all was well while we were away. Brigid was very conscientious in following through with all instructions for our dog’s care. We have already booked her for another time.”
“Kimberly was so kind to take Toby my 19-lb Havenese dog very last minute! I have a bad wrist fracture and was not able to take care of him properly. She took such great care of him with only hours’ notice. I will definitely use her services again!”
“Chelsea and Christopher were amazing sitters. As soon as we met we were given a tour of the house, which was the perfect environment for our pup. They were extremely friendly and sent many pictures throughout the stay. Maple was in such a good mood afterwards and we could tell she had a fantastic time. We will definitely be returning customers :)”
“Nat and her husband were so great! They agreed to watch Auri kind of last-minute when my other plans fell through. They sent me cute photos and videos and perfectly detailed updates. Auri looked like she had a really great time. I would definitely send my pup to them again!”
“Kyle was great with our pup! I am sure that Buddy enjoyed his stay and having such a a nice yard to play in. Kyle was quick to follow up on any questions and kept us updated during our trip.”
“Thank you Brad & Mery for looking after Tupe while I was away on vacation this past week. I was extremely nervous to have a stranger watch him. You both quickly eased my mind when we stopped over for a “meet and greet”. Tupe felt right at home as soon as we walked into your home. To anyone looking for a sitter…Brad and Mery are best team! I will be contacting you soon!!! Thank you again.”
“Kaya had another fabulous time with Lori and her dog Rees. This is the best dog sitting experience you could ever ask for. I'm so happy she had a wonderful place to stay while we were on vacation.”
“We had a wonderful experience with Jennifer and couldn’t have felt better about leaving Moose and Maggie in her care. From our initial meet-and-greet through the entire stay, Jennifer was warm, attentive, communicative, and genuinely invested in making sure both dogs were happy and well cared for. Moose is a senior Great Pyrenees with some mobility limitations and additional care needs, and Jennifer went above and beyond for him. She was patient and compassionate, adapted walks and activities to what he was comfortably able to do, helped him when he needed assistance, stayed on top of his medications, and made sure he was comfortable and included. At the same time, she made sure Maggie received just as much individual attention and plenty of activity suited to her energy level. Jennifer sent frequent updates and so many wonderful photos throughout their stay, which we really appreciated. Her mom was also wonderful with the dogs, and it was clear that Moose and Maggie received so much attention and affection while they were there. Jennifer was also incredibly flexible and accommodating throughout the stay, which made everything much easier for us. We’re extremely grateful for the care they received and would absolutely trust Jennifer with them again. I know Moose and Maggie will be very happy when they realize they’re headed back for another stay!”
“I am so happy we found them, our dogs had an amazing time and we will 100% bring them back. They are so nice and really care for the dogs. I was so nervous because of previous experiences with other sisters but they put my mind at ease. I couldn’t imagine bringing our dogs anywhere else!”
“I can't say enough about Gillian and Mitch. Left my puppy fur almost a week during a move. She had so much fun with new friends and was so well taken care of . If you need someone please use Gillian and Mitch!”
“Great experience! My dog was very happy and well cared for. The service was friendly, professional, and attentive. I really appreciated how gently they treated my dog and kept me updated. I would definitely recommend them to other dog owners!”
“David was incredibly responsive, kind and easy to work with! He took on my elderly 16 year old pup within a 24 hour notice after we found out our Airbnb didn’t allow dogs :( He took great care of her and sent daily updates which we really appreciated! She felt right at home with him and he made us feel very comforted knowing she was in good hands! Will definitely rejoin with him in the future :)”
“We always bring our little dog to Tiffany since he is so happy to be there with other dogs about the same size and have all his home comfort. We know that is not easy to deal with few dogs in the same time, but she does a great job; our big plus is Tiffany's fenced large backyard we're dogs can go out all day - play and run or just sit in the sun. We will be back Tiffany!”
“It was my first time leaving Mookie with Marisa for a week and I’m glad I did. She did really take care of him and even sent me some pics to keep me updated, and he seems very comfortable. That really put me at ease during my trip. Thank you so much Marisa!”
“I’m very satisfied with Kathleen's service. She cared for my puppy excellently. This was my first experience, and I am glad my Simba found a caring home while I’m away. I travel for work and feel confident I can rely on her in the future. Thank you! Roya Ross”
“Alex was a fantastic dog sitter for our senior dog, Zuzu! He provided lots of pictures during her stay, and in every one, Zuzu looked so happy and comfy. She received several walks per day, and lots of pets. I would book Alex again in a heartbeat!”
“I cannot say enough good things about Anna. She took care of our dog Rex. She sent us updates on our puppy and even photos! If you want a pet-sitter you can trust with anything, please book her. She went above and beyond caring for our puppy. Anna is a gem!””
“Catherine and her family took great care of our Gigi and totally treated her as their own! Catherine was in constant contact with us and sent us pictures throughout her stay. I would highly recommend Catherine and her family and will definitely be contacting Catherine again!”

Pamela was wonderful! This was our first time leaving Ruby overnight and for an extended stay (Wed–Sun). Pamela kept us updated with pictures and messages. Ruby had a blast with her dogs, and we felt comfortable knowing she was in good hands. We’ll definitely be booking with Pamela again!
This was our second time booking with Alexa, and once again she was fantastic. She took great care of our dog, kept us updated, and gave us complete peace of mind while we were away. It’s such a relief knowing we have someone we can trust. We wouldn’t hesitate to book with her again!

Frequently asked questions about Rover
The average cost for Dog Boarding in Guilderland on Rover is $53.28 per night (as of September 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 September 2026, there are 380 sitters on Rover offering Dog Boarding across Guilderland. 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.
98% of Guilderland 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 Guilderland 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 Guilderland 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 Guilderland.
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 Guilderland 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.
