It has been quite a few months since I last traveled for work and it made me so happy to see how excited Buddie was to see Mike again. I am so grateful to have Mike, Amy and Bear to leave Buddie with because I know he is getting way more attention and love than he ever would at a conventional boarding place. I used to worry every day I was gone when I left him at boarding that wasn't getting enough attention or maybe he was cold at night when he was trying to sleep in a kennel, but those days are over.!!! I already have planned my business trips for the next six months based on when Mike is available. 100% recommend💜🐾

It is such a relief to find a sitter for your dog and have peace of mind. This couple are a gem. We received a bunch of videos and pictures to show how much fun our dogs were having while we were attending an event. Highly recommend!

Natthinee took great care of Bowser. Every day she messaged me how he was doing and sent me lots of photos. The communication was great! It helped me feel comfortable leaving Bowser for so many days. I’d definitely use Natthinee again to watch Bowser.

Kassandra and Johnathan were great with our Puppy Leo! He is a big ball of energy and they were great with him and he loved playing with their dog Charlie. I would recommend to anyone in the area and will definitely bring Leo back when we need boarding again!

Jack was fantastic. Our pup Mugi stayed with him for a week while we were on vacation and it seemed like he had a great time with the other dogs and Jack took great care of him. Jack's place is a little far from where we live, but we will definitely contact him again on our next family trip.

We don’t let anyone else watch our French bulldog. David takes her for plenty of walks, gives her lots of attention, and makes sure she gets her medication. She’s very happy with David, as are we!

Dodo had a great time with Tiffany and her dogs every time he was there. He loves to play outside and Tiffany got a fenced backyard and enough space for dogs to play, perfect for my puppy. I always found my little dog clean and safe. Thank you for all care Tiffany!

Ginger is a fantastic human, Sheba seemed very content to cohabitate with. Ginger went above and beyond in her care for my girl. She sent texts, pictures and videos to keep me posted on how my husky was doing throughout her stay. If I go out of town again I know the exact person I will contact through Rover. Thanks again Ginger

Anna is amazing!!! Her and her family took such good care of my fur baby that I know for a fact he will be seeing them again. The communication was beyond amazing and the pictures were definitely appreciated. She kept in contact with me letting me know how he’s doing constantly. I have never left my baby alone with someone for the night and I must say this has to be the best experience I can ask for. I dont know how to thank her enough for all that she did !

Lyndsie and Vlad were so great with my little guy. He ended up having some challenges being in a house with another dog and they were so patient with him, and kept me informed the whole time. I would definitely recommend them.

Selfishly I would love to keep this my best secret , but John is the best sitter you could possibly hope for. I am actually blown away by the amount of attention and care my pup received here. We got constant updates and had no doubts at all about Winston being spoiled while we were spoiling ourselves. Couldn't ask for more.

I’m a repeat customer because my dog loves staying with Peg. He’s always excited to head into her home. Not to mention, Peg has been very responsive and flexible for booking, drop off, and pick up. Hoping Peg is available the next time I need a sitter.

Frequently asked questions about Rover

As of July 2026, there are 173 sitters on Rover offering Dog Boarding across Johnstown. 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.

97% of Johnstown 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 Johnstown 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 Johnstown 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 Johnstown.

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 Johnstown 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.
