“Emily was amazing!! My dog immediately felt right at home and was relaxed her entire stay. I let Emily know I wouldn’t have much connection where I was going out of town, but she still sent a bunch of pictures for me to see when I got connection! Winnie came home tired which is what I always hope for! 10/10 would definitely book with her again!”
“For the first time ever, I had to leave my dog son for more than a day and I was definitely very uncertain on this whole you know . I couldn’t have asked for a better family to watch over my best friend and care for him like they did. Had me at ease while I was gone the whole time if you’re looking for the same reassurance, I was looking no further!”
“My boarding experience with Lauren has been great. I felt really comfortable knowing she was well cared for during my extended trip away. Lauren is easy to communicate with and very responsive. We also do daycare with her and my Yorkie enjoys going back, which says a lot since she’s usually pretty anxious in environments outside of the house. Lauren is very kind and treats my little one like her own, and I really appreciate the care she gives her. We’ve had a great experience overall.”
“This is our first time using JOE. We have two standard poodles, and they absolutely had a great time and he did a fantastic job caring for them. We will definitely use him again in the future.”
“Angela was great. This was our first time using this app and she was amazing. Very communicative, sent pictures and updates and even gave Frosty a bath. I would recommend and definitely return to Angela again. Frosty loved it!!”
“My dog had a wonderful stay with Carly! She was flexible with drop off and pick up times, took him for several long walks, played with him, and sent great photo/video updates! She even wrote him a little report card 🥹 She went above and beyond and my pup can’t wait to visit her again! Thank you so much!”
“Megan & Jay were wonderful! Easy to communicate with and sent lots of pictures. They took great care of our pup! She looks forward to staying with them again!”
“Dawn was fantastic! She provided daily updates on my dachshund Henry so I knew he was in good hands. She cared for Henry as though he was her own dog. Would definitely rebook with Dawn.”
“Joy was great to deal with and did a wonderful job watching our dog, Jameson. She kept in contact daily and sent us pictures often to allow us to see him enjoying life at her home. She took him for walks and even a car ride for a pup cup. Joy is a pleasure to know and we will definitely use her services again.”
“Kelsey recently watched our two buddies (Lab & Aussie) while we were on vacation for a week. She was completely amazing. She sent us pictures of our guys frequently! This was the second time we’ve used her and we will definitely use her again in the future!”
“Biscuit had such a great time at Laken’s. He has friends to play with and gets all kinds of cuddles and love while I’m away. Laken sends fantastic updates and pictures!!”
“Halina and Ted are so kind and loving to our llttle Trey! This was our first booking, we never had a concenr while we were away!! We receive pictures and updates on his time with them. So comforting knowing he is well cared for and receiving many snuggles. Thank you, Thank you, Thank you!!”
“So incredibly attentive to our pups more than anyone we have experienced elsewhere! Send us videos of his walk, took the time to communicate some issues ours was having since he got into something back home. His emergency response and safety awareness was so comforting since we’re out of town! He is great communication, safety priority, and so loving with his training technique while walking our rambunctious 65lb pitty! Thank you so much Arya!”
“KIrsten did a great job keeping my dog. i had a meet and greet before trip so I knew my dog would be in great hands. She was quick at responding and sent me pictures and updates. Kirsten was helpful when my plans changed and i needed to update dates. Will definitely rebook.”
“This was our first time having someone that wasn't family watch our furbabies overnight while we were out of town and we were more than happy with the care Karen provided. She loved our two bulldogs, Bella and Ace, like they were her own and kept us updated with pictures during the two days we were away! They obviously had tons of fun there as they were passed out within the first 30 minutes of being back home! We will definitely be using Karen again whenever we need a sitter for them!!”
“Lindsey is so sweet and took great care of Milo and Lucy! They both seemed very comfortable with her and she was quick to send me updated and photos while I was away. Would definitely use her again to watch my pups! Thanks Lindsey!”
“Coco had a great time!! Allison is great at sending updates (pictures and videos) enjoying her time, which made it easier for us to be away from Coco for so many days. Thank you Allison!”

Dog parents share their Rover experiences - Harlem
Leah was seriously amazing with our dog, Gus! He’s a big guy and can be pretty shy and anxious, especially with new people, but she was so patient and gentle with him. We were honestly so impressed with how well he did, he seemed calm, comfortable, and totally at ease with her. She also kept us in the loop the whole time with updates, pictures, and videos, which we really appreciated. It made us feel so much better being able to see how happy and relaxed Gus was while we were away. It’s not always easy trusting someone with a dog like Gus, but Leah made it so easy. We knew he was in great hands the entire time. We’d absolutely recommend her to anyone looking for a kind, reliable dog sitter and we’ll definitely be using her again!

The average cost of Dog Boarding in Harlem is $36 per night as of November 2026. Most bookings cost between $27 and $42 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.

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.
95% 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:
- 91% of sitters can help with special care needs
- 96% can help with giving oral medications or injections
- 95% 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 OH 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.
