“Megan kept me updated on how my dogs were doing and worked very well with my schedule! Was willing to be up early in the morning and dropped the dogs off at my place late with no problem. The dogs came back happy and exhausted showing they had a fun time. I'd definitely book with her again.”
“Erika went above and beyond to accommodate us at short notice, then we were delayed at the border so arrived late, she was great to deal with and Reggie had a wonderful time, one tired and happy little dog! Thanks Erika”
“Jin was wonderful!! She took in both our girls. We have two Rottweilers, both over 100 lbs. they loved Jin, and made themselves right at home at her house. She sent daily pics, and updates on how they were doing. Will definitely be booking Jin again.”
“Denae and Mark were wonderful hosts for our dog, Cooper. Denae was a great communicator and provided us photos and messages to let us know how Cooper was doing during his brief weekend stay. We will be using them again!”
“Jenn was awesome!! She sent pictures of all the adventures our dog had with her. Ducky seems like she has a great time and has been sleeping for days lol.”
“Alena was very patient with our dog Rayo since he had separation anxiety the first night of his stay. She sent pictures and videos and responded quickly to my texts. He settled in and I felt secure knowing that he was well cared for.”
“Our dog always has a great time with Dana and Jeremy. We really appreciated the pictures and updates throughout the weekend. Dana and Jeremy take great care of our dog whenever we travel and we look forward to using them again!”
“My family and I went on a mini vacation for 3 nights. When I left my two dogs with Monica I felt very comfortable and felt there was no need to worry about anything, well boy was I right! She is fabulous! About 20 min into their stay with her, she messaged me pictures of them Playing and lounging around . She continued to send me pics daily of them showing me how they were, which was very relieving! The very last day one of my dogs was experiencing loose poops (we think it was just from the heat) which she also had messaged me about prior to pick up . My dog has an accident in her house which I felt terrible about but she was so easy going and sweet about it which was really nice , since I felt so bad! I would take my dogs back to her in a heartbeat! They loved their stay with her and we enjoyed our vacation without worrying about our doggies! She is also very reasonable! I would recommend her 100%!”
“Katie was great with my pup, Mugsy. She kept me updated on how he was doing; she sent pictures, videos and text messages. She always touched base to inquire about extending/pickup as my move-in date was moved a few times. I really appreciated her adapting and accommodating my changing schedule. Thank you Katie for loving my pup when I couldnt be with him.”
“Kiara & Yves are genuinely such fantastic pet sitters, and kept my mind at ease during travel knowing that my cat was in such good hands! Not only were they very kind and pleasant to talk to, but Kiara was very knowledgeable about animals in general and shared some useful information. They were very diligent in making sure my kitty was being cared for properly, along with sending updates and pictures. From medication, to going out of their way to buy specific kibble that my cat was used to after not adjusting, you can be assured that your pet will be watched by responsible, enthusiastic, and caring folks.”
“Joan and Timothy were so amazing with our son! We were gone almost a full week for our wedding and it was such a blessing that we found them. It was clear from the moment we first met them that they were very experienced in dog sitting and their home was perfectly equipped and spacious for our boy. They made sure to walk through his entire daily routine with us when dropping him off and they provided us with daily updates, pictures and videos on how he was doing. He came back to us a smiling and happy pup. Would absolutely book with them again - thank you so much Joan & Timothy!!!”
“Michaela did a wonderful job watching our two rescues for a day. This was their first stay with her and I would love to book a stay with her again in the future. She sent photos and put my mind at ease as I was worried about how my dogs would do, everything went perfectly! I couldnt be happier with today's visit. Thank you Michaela!”
“Jessica was amazing with caring for our Bailey! She is kind, reliable and a true dog lover. She follows all care instructions and keeps in communication with pictures and updates. We would book with her again without reservation.”
“We had such a great experience with Crystal! She took amazing care of our dog and kept us updated throughout the stay, which gave us so much peace of mind. Our dog was happy, comfortable, and clearly well cared for when we picked her up. We could tell she received lots of love and attention. We would definitely recommend Crystal and will absolutely book with her again! 🐾❤️”
“Mindy was so kind and flexible regarding drop off and pick up. Isabella really loved hanging with Mindy. And even made a new friend with the kitty. Isabella also loved running around in the nice yard”
“They were fantastic. Denise and her daughter showed right away my little guy would be in good hands. She was even willing to go the extra step to drop him off at his normal daycare for me. Thank you Denise!”
About: I’ve been around dogs and cats my entire life, so caring for animals has always come naturally to me. Over the years, I’ve cared for pets with different personalities, energy levels, routines, and needs, and I understand how important it is to make them feel comfortable when their people are away. I’m patient, attentive, dependable, and genuinely enjoy getting to know each pet individually. Whether they need walks, playtime, feeding, cuddles, or just someone to keep them company, I’ll treat them with the same care and attention I give my own pets. My schedule is currently very flexible, which allows me to dedicate plenty of time and attention to the pets in my care. I’m available throughout the week and can accommodate a variety of schedules and routines. Whether your pet needs companionship, playtime, walks, feeding, or just someone nearby to make them feel comfortable, I’m happy to work around their normal routine. I understand that every pet is different, and I believe their care should reflect that. I take the time to learn each pet’s normal routine, personality, boundaries, feeding schedule, and individual needs. I will always respect the instructions and preferences you provide and prioritize your pet’s safety and comfort. My goal is to make their time with me feel as familiar, comfortable, and stress free as possible.

Dog parents share their Rover experiences - Lackawanna
Jin was absolutely amazing! She took such great care of Sol and Taz, and we couldn’t have asked for a better person to watch our babies. She sent us frequent updates and pictures throughout their stay, which we truly appreciated and made us feel so comfortable knowing they were happy, safe, and well taken care of. It’s never easy leaving your pets with someone, but Jin made the whole experience completely stress-free. You can tell she genuinely cares about the animals she looks after and treats them like her own. We came home to two very happy pups! Thank you so much again, Jin, for taking such wonderful care of Sol and Taz. We would absolutely recommend her to anyone looking for someone trustworthy, caring, and dependable to watch their pets. We will definitely be booking with her again! ❤️🐾
Once again Jessica provided the best care for our dog. He came back happy to see us, but also quite content and not the least bit stressed. Jessica is willing to provide pictures and updates, but is never bothersome. We absolutely trust her with our dog and will continue to look to her first.
Marissa was the perfect sitter for our girl. She has a cozy home complete with all the essentials - dog blankets, chewies and sidewalks for walks. More than that, Marissa is a dog lover and made my dog her priority during the stay, with the photos of her tucked in under blankets to prove it 😂 I’m very lucky to have found her and will def be booking again!

Frequently asked questions about Rover
The average cost for Dog Boarding in Lackawanna on Rover is $55.5 per night (as of September 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 September 2026, there are 322 sitters on Rover offering Dog Boarding across Lackawanna. 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.
91% of Lackawanna 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 Lackawanna 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 Lackawanna 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 Lackawanna.
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 Lackawanna 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.
