“5 STARS - Kelly is an outstanding Dog Sitter. This was our first experience using Rover. We feel very fortunate to have found Kelly. She is a professional in her field that genuinely cares about the safety and well-being of the pets she brings into her home. The drop-off was smoother than we could have anticipated, which made driving away and the start of our trip relaxing and worry free. We quickly began looking forward to Kelly’s daily updates. It was clear to see from the pictures we were not being missed (which is a good thing). The outdoor experiences and newfound friends Quinn was exposed to made for very exciting times. We could tell from the stories and pictures shared with us that he was having a blast. We highly recommend Kelly, and will turn to her anytime we are in need of boarding in the future. Not only does she offer an environment superior to any crated or caged boarding facility, she engages her dogs in regular walks and activities for exercise and enjoyment. This was one of the first times we can recall while away not being concerned about how Quinn was doing. We felt assured he was in good hands and enjoying every minute of his stay with Kelly.”
“Janet is ALWAYS great and I have no issues whatsoever having her take care of my fur-baby. She is so kind and caring and very accommodating! I have 100% confidence in leaving my little dog with Janet knowing that she will be taken care of in just the same way as I would. Janet is the sweetest caregiver and I will always use her once she's available. Thanks Janet!”
“Spencer was fantastic. He was communicative, professional, and sent regular updates and photos, which gave us real peace of mind while we were away. It was clear our dog was comfortable and well cared for. He was attentive and picked up on little personality details, making the experience even better. We came home to a happy, relaxed dog. Highly recommend Spencer and would absolutely book with him again.”
“Jennifer was wonderful with Joe. She pampered him during his visit with lots of snuggles, and even a park trip! Joe was very happy during his time with her. Highly recommend her to anyone looking for a pet sitter.”
“Tilly had a wonderful overnight with Bailey! (Kathy &Tim as well) We love the convenience of having a Rover right in our neighborhood. We appreciate the quick response we get from Kathy & Tim with answers to questions and updates on Tilly's care. Thank you so much!”
“Adalia did a great job taking care of our boy Loki during a 14 day stay at her place. He came back to us refreshed and relaxed, much better than his usual stay at the kennel. Adalia was easy to communicate with and helped us feel confident on our first use of Rover and Loki's first stay with her!”
“Max LOVES being with Bryan and always makes new doggie friends. Also Bryan shares any new behaviors with us, which is very important since Max is relatively new to the family. It takes a village!! We are so glad Bryan and Jenn are a part of Max’s village!”
“Alex and his family took great care of our extremely high energy dog. She went for walks, played with other dogs, and came home exhausted. Alex sent lots of pictures and updates too. Thank you!”
“Hiedi is a wonderful sitter for Molly! Molly was able to stay overnight on very short notice. Hiedi was very accommodating, she sent lots of pictures and you can tell that she loves the dogs she cares for. We have already booked many more playdates for Molly!”
“Tara provided a welcoming home environment for our older dog, Ruby. Unlike recent kennel stays, Ruby returned healthy and relaxed. I would recommend Tara as a pet sitter.”
“Angi and David were great! Our dog got walks, playtime, and seemed to feel right at home. They kept us updated during our dog’s stay and even sent us pictures. I felt so comfortable and would certainly work with them in the future!”
“Aaron and Kaylee take great care of Sherlock. They pick up and drop off Sherlock on time and responded to my messages quickly and in detail. Sherlock is always happy to see them! Sherlock also loves playing with other dogs so their place is a great fit.”
“Quinnlyn had a relaxing and comfortable stay with Amanda and her family. He was given plenty of attention during his visit, and settled in feeling at home with them in a short period of time. We left town feeling confident he was in good hands. Amanda was responsive and easy to communicate with, making planning and coordination seamless throughout the duration Quinn’s stay. We won’t hesitate to schedule with Amanda in the future.”
“Andrea and her family were absolutely wonderful to our elderly pup during his first stay with them. They were extremely attentive to his behavior and needs, and totally proactive in sending me photos and reports on his stay. When I arrived to pick him up, I could see how well they had connected with him through their warmth and kindness. We are very grateful to them and already looking forward to his next visit!”
“Kikka loved her weekend with Maxine. She was well taken care of and Maxine was very quick to respond to questions and sent plenty of pictures and updates! Highly recommend!”
“Laura was a huge help this past weekend while we were visiting the Ithaca area, agreeing to watch our pup, Beau, somewhat last minute after our original pet sitter fell through. She took Beau on a hike and sent great pictures, which really made us feel at ease. When we came to pick him up he seemed very content and like he had had a great time. Thank you, Laura!”

FAQs for Dog Boarding - Horseheads
Frequently asked questions about Rover
The average cost for Dog Boarding in Horseheads on Rover is $38.85 per night (as of July 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 July 2026, there are 101 sitters on Rover offering Dog Boarding across Horseheads. Enter your ZIP code to see which available sitters are closest to your home.
Every sitter 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.
Sitters may also include daily walks in the neighborhood during your dog's boarding stay. You can also request photo and message updates throughout so you can see which local 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 Horseheads 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 Horseheads.
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 Horseheads 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.
