“This was my first time ever leaving my baby Kali with a sitter. Polina was very caring and she kept me posted on how he was doing with her. I will use her again in September. Thank you Polina!!!”
“Christine and Matthew were great! We were a little nervous about boarding our pup because he hadn’t been with people he didn’t know in ages, but they welcomed him in and gave him lots of love! Christine was extremely responsive and kept in touch to let us know how things were going and help alleviate our concerns.”
“Everyday Ashley always keeps me updated with pictures and very thoughtful descriptions of my pups status. My pupper loves staying with Ashley and cannot wait for her next stay:)”
“Georgianne was a great sitter. She posted picks regularly and gave me updates on how my cat was doing. She also responded very quickly whenever I messaged her. I would definitely leave my cat with Georgianne again.”
“Irina watched our two dogs, Sparty and Boss, while we took a weekend trip up to Canada! We didn't have cell phone reception while we were there, but we when we got internet connection we came back to wonderful videos and pictures, as well as updates! We felt our dogs were in great hands with Irina and that they were safe. We absolutely plan to use her in the future with our two four legged family members.”

About: I'm an enthusiastic dog walker and sitter that has a passion for dogs and rescuing them. I have been involved in dog rescue and fostering in the Syracuse area for a number of years. I've cared for a number of my own dogs and cats from young to seniors. I've also been a foster parent to a number of dogs when rescues needed someone. I can handle the most challenging of dogs down to little babies and everything in between. Your dog will get plenty of love and attention when I'm around! I give all dogs the same love and affection I would give my own dog and see the importance of cuddle and buddy time along with good exercise. I show confidence when I'm with a dog so that they know there is trust with me from the beginning. I currently work part time, so have plenty of time to spend with your fur baby. I am always available after 3:00 p.m. during the week, before 8:00 a.m. or anytime on the weekends. I've got a very pet friendly home. I live in a single story, ranch house that has a fully fenced back yard. I do not have children at home that we would need to worry about and I'm very respectful if needed to go into a client's home. Safety and security are always at the forefront.
“I always feel comfortable leaving my dog with Susan, she is great with her! I appreciate the time and care she takes as well as the regular updates and photos 😊”
“Candyse and her family were amazing. My dog had a great time and shr was so accommodating of our rush request and schedule challenges. Highly recommend!!! And we will be coming back.”
“Love love love!! My Onyx has the best night ever while Mom and Dad were away for the night. Jeane kept in communication with us and had us resting easy knowing our baby was so loved! We are in the area for work for a few months and I have uses a couple sitters here in SYR. Jeane is our absolute favorite and we can't wait for the next time Onyx can visit his new friends! ❤️”

“Alyssa was amazing with my little dog. I have a 6lb dog who loves human affection and acts more like a cat than a dog, and Alyssa made her feel right at home. Letting her snuggle up as close as she wanted, and sending pictures of her all comfortable to me throughout the stay! She was very accomodating on pick up and drop off times as we didn't have exact times. Thank you so much Alyssa! We will definitely be in contact when we need a sitter again!”
“Eden went above and beyond when she took on a last-minute request to care for our sausage dog, who's known for her larger-than-life vocal personality. Her passion for animals was evident in every aspect of her care. Throughout the day, Eden kept us updated with adorable pictures of our dog, which reassured us that she was in good hands. What truly impressed us was the thoughtful extras: Eden provided a detailed report card on our dog's behavior and even sent us home with a sweet goodie bag. Having someone as trustworthy and passionate as Eden to care for our furry friend was a true blessing. We are grateful for her dedication and will definitely be relying on her again in the future. Highly recommended!”
“Amanda was amazing! She took great care of my dogs, making sure they were happy and comfortable the entire time. She provided updates and pictures that reassured me everything was going well. Her attention to detail and genuine love for animals really stood out. I highly recommend Amanda for anyone looking for a reliable and caring pet sitter.”
“Luna had a second stay with Ashley & Matt and was well cared for and had a great time with their two dogs Cali & Stella. Thank you for taking such good care of her and keeping us posted with lots of pictures 💙”

Dog parents share their Rover experiences - LaFayette
I have an older lab that I no longer feel comfortable boarding at a traditional kennel and Jaclyn’s house was perfect for him. He also has special requirements for water and she was able to accommodate this unlike boarding facilities he had been to previously. It was comforting to know he was being cared for in someone’s home and Jaclyn made me feel so at ease.
I had become increasingly unhappy with where I was boarding my little dog and was so happy to find Jaclyn,who went above and beyond in her care of my pet! She sent me updates and photos and even gave him a well-needed bath! I most certainly will use her services in the future and recommend her very highly to anyone who needs a place for their dog

Frequently asked questions about Rover
The average cost of Dog Boarding in LaFayette is $50 per night as of October 2026. Most bookings cost between $40 and $56 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 206 sitters on Rover offering Dog Boarding across LaFayette. 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.
98% of sitters in LaFayette 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 LaFayette 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 LaFayette.
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 LaFayette 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.
