“Brianna was awesome with my two babies. Very patient and gentle with my new puppy nugget she is definitely an animal lover. Will always book her when I need a sitter again.”
“I couldn’t be more pleased with the care Steven provided for my pup, Abby! From the moment we met, it was clear he had a natural connection with dogs and a genuine love for animals. Abby was happy, well-exercised, and clearly well-loved while I was away. Steven kept me updated with messages, which gave me great peace of mind. It’s always a little nerve-wracking to leave your pet with someone new, but Steven exceeded all expectations. I returned to a happy, healthy pup. Highly recommend Steven to anyone looking for a reliable and caring sitter. I’ll definitely be reaching out to him again in the future!”
“Brooke and her husband took great care of my little dog. When I went to pick her up she was in no hurry to leave! They are responsive, polite, and obviously love dogs. Highly recommend!”
“Yamile is a wonderful boarding host. She kept me informed on Osiris several times a day, and he seems to being extremely comfortable with her and her family. I would recommend her services every time.”
“I give Nicole a 10/10! I have never left my Ghost with anyone but family and has never been boarded. I was extremely nervous and apprehensive but Nicole reassured that he would be fine. Ghost had an amazing time and came home exhausted. I received plenty of pictures too. I have found a true home away from home for him. Thanks again!”
“Deangelo came over for a meet and great with my baby and they hit it off immediately. He has a large fenced yard which allowed my sweet angel to run and play. Deangelo was very patient and kind.”

About: I’ve been a professional dog trainer for the last 5 years. I spent my childhood training horses and showing horses and dogs. I’m very comfortable with any breed and size dog! I work from home and can make my own schedule which allows me to be very flexible with my availability to care for your pets! I have a fenced yard and ruffland crates to keep your dogs safe! I have 2 very friendly female German shepherds for you pup to play with!
“Tyeshia is one of the most caring people I have ever come across. She’s patient and kind and went out of her way to take care of my pup River. You should really talk to her and that’s all it takes you will feel rest assured your fur babies are well taken care of. Tyeshia thank you again.”
“Sarah & Hagan are the best!!! I was so nervous and worried leaving my 3 dogs for a week simply because I have never left them or had them boarded. I cried after dropping them off and Sarah felt my heartbreak and teared up too.. I knew right then my pups would be greatly taken care of! I received pictures and videos at least twice a day. Sarah & Hagan don't just leave them in their kennels... they interact with them, play with them and build bonds of their own. You don't get this kind of service from anywhere else. Being a traveler and not always having the trust in people with todays society is hard but I will travel distances to bring them back to Sarah & Hagan in the future.. Thank you guys so much for loving my dogs the way you did!! TOP NOTCH SERVICE & COMMUNICATION!!”
“Emilie is an awesome petcare provider. She kept my 3 babies over the Christmas holidays while my family went on a cruise. I was able to enjoy knowing they were in good hands. She was very flixible and gave them the same treatment and compassion as if they were her own. I would highly recommend her and look forward to using her services again.”
“She was absolutely amazing taking care of my doggy! Kept me up to date with everything and sent pictures every now and then. Definitely rebooking if needed and 100% recommend!”
About: I have years of experience caring for dogs, including my own senior toy poodle as her needs changed with age. This taught me patience, attentiveness, and how to adapt to different routines, diets, and mobility needs. I know how important it is to trust the person caring for your pet. I’m affectionate, dependable, and will make sure your pet feels safe, comfortable, and loved while you’re away. I work full time but my schedule is flexible, which gives me plenty of time to care for your pets! I’m available throughout the week and on weekends. I have a fenced in yard and will follow your care instructions and normal routine. I’m attentive to feeding schedules, walks, medications, and any special needs your fur baby may have!
About: I've been around dogs of all shapes, sizes, and temperaments, pretty much my entire life. I can handle all aspects of a dog's care, from feeding and routine excercise to bonus hang out time or other extra special attention as needed. I've always felt a special connection with dogs, and they've always responded well to my calm, but firm energy. I will treat your dog with the utmost care, providing a sense of security and familiarity as we build a bond. I am currently proud parent to my 3 year "dog"ter, Eevee, who is a happy-go-lucky American Pit Bull Terrier with a heart of gold. Eevee and I, along with my wife, enjoy taking trips to go fishing, visiting the North Augusta Bark Park, and exploring Elijah Cove Dog Beach. We're excited to have your dog be a bonus member of our pack! I currently work part time, so I have plenty of time to accommodate your pets' schedules and needs. I'm happy to arrange "Doggie Day Out" for adventures/external stimulation (hello, naptime!) or simple potty breaks/mini hang outs - whatever works best for you! I have a fenced backyard, as well as the ability to separate dogs in my home, as needed. I do have one small/medium dog crate that can be used if needed/requested, though I prefer to have everyone together for maximum good times! My dog, Eevee, has a variety of toys and cozy blankets on hand that she is more than happy to share. I also offer a variety of dog treats should extra love be required: usually some form of organic cookies or fresh fruit (bananas, blueberries, and strawberries). Your dog will be in safe and happy hands.
About: I’ve been caring for pets since I was 10 years old and have always considered animals part of the family. I currently have two 8-year-old cats, and until recently I also had two dogs, including a 12-year-old German Shepherd/Malamute mix who sadly passed away from heart failure this year and a Pit Bull who passed away the year before. Caring for pets throughout their different stages of life has taught me how important patience, attention, and love are. I’m comfortable with feeding, walks, playtime, potty breaks, giving pets attention and companionship, and keeping their normal routines while their families are away. I know how hard it can be to leave your pets with someone else, so I’ll treat them with the same care and respect I would want for my own. I’m currently a stay-at-home mom, so I have a flexible schedule and am home most of the day. My only regular commitments are school drop-off and pickup. This allows me plenty of time for walks, potty breaks, playtime, and check-ins throughout the day. I live in a quiet apartment community with a small dog park that I can use for appropriate dogs. I have two friendly 8-year-old cats who are comfortable around people and pets. I also have a toddler who loves animals and a 5-year-old who is more timid around very energetic dogs, so I’m especially mindful of each pet’s temperament and comfort level. I will only accept pets that are a good fit for my home and family, and I always prioritize safety, supervision, and following your pet’s normal routine
“Paws & Effects exceeded my expectations while watching my little girl Phoebe. From the meet and greet through pick up, Alexcis experience and love for her job shined. From start to finish Alexcis was beyond professional. Phoebe was sad to leave Alexicis and her friends. We will definitely book again!”
“Sam and Cole have been absolutely amazing! Can’t forget about their sweet pup Remi as well. All the photos that they sent my dog had the biggest smile on his face 😊 i appreciate them treating my dog as if he was one of theirs. I will without a doubt rebook with them in the future!”
“Tamara is a GODSEND!! she is sooo kind and I can tell she loves animals and treats my baby like her own. Sophie is always so excited to visit. Will definitely use again!”

Dog parents share their Rover experiences - Harlem
Brianna is such an amazing caretaker for my little fur baby. Whenever I need a great sitter, my baby is going to be in the best hands. She sends so many updates throughout the day, which helps me feel at ease while I’m out of town and always sends him off with treats and toys and all the goodies. I recommend her to anyone who wants to put their pet in the hands of someone who’s safe, reliable, clearly passionate about loving on the fur babies and just overall always have a 10 out of 10 experience with her! Thank you!!!
⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️ If I could give 10 stars I would! Brianna is AMAZING!!! I will definitely be using her when I’m in town again and again and again! She is super communicative and continually sending pics of your fur baby’s daily activities. She spoils them and loves on them like they’re her own!❤️❤️❤️

Frequently asked questions about Rover
The average cost of Dog Boarding in Harlem is $33 per night as of November 2026. Most bookings cost between $28 and $47 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 199 sitters on Rover offering Dog Boarding across Harlem. 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 Harlem 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 Harlem 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 Harlem.
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 Harlem. 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 Harlem 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 GA 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.
