“This is a great family home for my dog -- she loved boarding here. Aaron take all your special needs and indulgences into consideration and provides plenty of play opportunities. Just what my little doodle needs!”
“I had a wonderful experience with Hannah and would highly recommend her to anyone looking for reliable, caring pet care. She was attentive, communicative, and clearly treated my Scooby with kindness and patience. It gave me real peace of mind knowing Scooby was safe, happy, and well cared for while I was away. I would absolutely book with Hannah again.”
“Kim was fantastic, and my dog was so happy at her house. Kim sent lots of photos, and communicated well. I am so happy with Kim’s services, and will be returning again soon. Thank you!”
“Marie was wonderful with our dog, Champ. He’s a very nervous dog and it takes a lot for him to feel comfortable with new people, but Marie was patient, kind, and took great care of him. We trust her completely and feel confident leaving Champ in her care. In fact, we already have her scheduled to watch him again! We would highly recommend Marie to anyone looking for a reliable and caring dog sitter.”
“Kasia is a SAINT - she watched our dog for 10 days, after he had recently had a procedure to have a growth removed. He had his cone, lots of medications, and was more uncomfortable than we had expected. She was so patient with him, help with tapering his meds over his recovering, transitioned him back to his normal food, and gave him lots of love. She was fantastic with updates too. We felt terribly putting this on her, but she handled it with grace and understanding. A true empath and dog lover. She is simply the best!”
“Everything went well with Cara's 1st overnight stay. No issues were reported back to me. I will be leaving her with Jose again next weekend for a week. He sent a picture of Cara hanging in his back yard. Thanks again.”
“Shawn and Douglas were great! They took Ranger for walks and plenty of backyard play time; he made a new friend in Jolene, whom is such a sweet dog. They were very responsive, flexible and great to communicate with. Highly recommend and will definitely rebook in the future.”
“I have found a solid option for bookings for my pup Blaze. Luke, his wife and their 2 pups took great care of my guy. It looks like he had a great time staying with them and being part of the family for the day. I will be booking with them very often.”
“This was the first time Sunny was cared for outside his own surroundings and his first time meeting a dog. Maria was very thoughtful about Sunny’s firsts. Sunny is an investigator and enjoyed all the opportunities for adventure with Maria and her family. Maria sent photos and messages throughout the week, which we appreciated. When we need another boarding opportunity we will absolutely contact Maria.”
“Last minute, my usual sitter fell through, and Kate was able to come through and provide my Cooper with a place to stay for the weekend. Kate and her dad provided Coop with excellent care, provided consistent updates and made him feel like home. It was his birthday while I was away as well and they celebrated it and took a video and everything. It was really sweet and above and beyond. I would have Cooper visit these two gems again, anytime with zero trepidation. I strongly encourage anyone in need of a reliable sitter to utilize Kate’s services. Thanks again, again guys! You’re the best.”
“Quinn was very kind and accommodating, she met with me prior to the stay to make sure it seemed like a good fit and then watched my dog Charli for 5 days. Everything went well and she kept me updated everyday on how things were going. Highly recommend her as your rover go to :)”
About: I grew up with a great dane, and then my family adopted 3 dogs of different sizes after that. I’ve been surrounded by, and taken care of dogs my entire life growing up in Rochester. I have worked for local dog daycare and boarding facilities as well. My location provides a good place to socialize with other dogs as well if needed, just minutes from several parks and open land. A fIexible schedule allows me to work with people to meet their specific needs, and take the necessary time to be thorough. I enjoy the process of working with dogs and understanding their personality. I use positive reinforcement techniques to reward behavior and maximize dog comfort. I currently work afternoons, and am a night owl. I spend my mornings drinking coffee or walking dogs, and evenings helping friends with pet care who work late nights in health care, law enforcement, etc. While I cannot board dogs overnight in my apartment building, I have experience boarding within owners homes. I know the stress of finding a private care provider, and offer meet and greet beforehand to make sure pet parents feel at ease. I also provide normal drop in walking/care while owner is away.
“Absolutely noone could top the care they provided for Bella. Bella is a 15 yo senior partially blind and in diapers. They provided an exceptionally great care with much love. They followed all instructions and asked if there were any questions to her behaviors. Pictures followed frequently thru the day with updates. My dog was safe and greatly cared for. I couldn't be more happy with no worries. Bella was quite happy as well.”
“Serafina and Sky took great care of my 10 week old puppy. Serafina was very easy to work with for my first time using Rover. My puppy was actually upset to leave and wanted to keep playing with Sky when we left. I will definitely be contacting Serafina next time I am in Rochester!”
About: I’ve had 2 dogs of my own previously & hiked them around many trails in the area. My special skills would be that I am very patient when it comes to sniffing the grass!! I’m currently able to fit pet care into my routine and would love to spend time with yours! Feel free to reach out to me for more info I have an apartment with plenty of space for a pet. Your pet will be treated as my own, and be well loved and cared for!

It always makes me happy when Scout is excited to see a sitter--he's pretty shy so seeing him excited to see Jose really puts our minds at ease. Jose has watched Scout multiple times and each time Scout has a blast! He got to run around the backyard with a furry friend during this stay and he was LOVING IT☺️ We're already booked again for Scout's next stay!
Cara and Dan were awesome to work with through the whole process! It is always hard to leave our Nikki but we know she will be in good hands with Cara and Dan. We will be doing more traveling and are grateful to have found them so we can go and know she is being treated like a queen!
Aaron and Rachel were wonderful to work with! They were very friendly, responsive, and made everything so easy. They watched our two high energy girls overnight and took great care of them. We really appreciated how comfortable and well cared for our pups were while we were away. We will definitely use Aaron and Rachel again for any future stays!
Brandon P boarded our dog Salvatore and did not disappoint! We were updated daily with a photo and was told about their daily adventures! When we met up before the stay, Brandon asked important questions about Sal’s care and traits. Was also impressed with his friendliness and attention to detail. I would recommend Brandon to anyone who wants great service!
Natha was amazing with Remi. Remi is an anxious dog, and Natha’s experience with dogs who have anxiety made all the difference. She created a safe and comfortable environment for him and kept me updated with helpful feedback on how he was doing. Communication with her has been easy and consistent. She also kept Remi’s pill organizer and dishes very clean, which I really appreciated. I highly recommend Natha.
Alexandra and her family took great care of my dog, Hiccup, while we were across the country. Very communicative, and flexible, including with a last minute flight delay that caused a late night pick up. They sent photos and videos and made sure to ask tons of clarification questions! We would definitely recommend.
Awesome sitter, my dog came back in great shape + condition, wasn’t stressed at all, and overall seemed pretty happy! Super sweet sitter, very caring and attentive to our dog. Only issue is I wish there was more communication from her side. More pictures + updates, etc. Otherwise, would book again!

Frequently asked questions about Rover
The average cost of Dog Boarding in Irondequoit is $44 per night as of October 2026. Most bookings cost between $32 and $60 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 October 2026, there are 313 sitters on Rover offering Dog Boarding across Irondequoit. Enter your ZIP code to see which available sitters are closest to your home.
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 Irondequoit 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 Irondequoit home-away-from-home, 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 Irondequoit.
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 Irondequoit 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 , 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 .
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.
