“Magda and her family took great care of Coconut. She felt as if it was her home. They sent pictures and updates all the time when we were away. We will surely go back again. Thank you very much”
“Leslie has watched our 2 dogs a couple times. She’s very kind and our dogs love staying with her. She sends pictures and gives us updates regularly. Her communication is excellent. We HIGHKY recommend her.”
“Elizabeth was amazing with our dog, Chief! She took great care of him while we were away and kept us updated so we knew he was doing well. It gave us a lot of peace of mind knowing he was in good hands. She’s very kind, responsive, and clearly loves dogs. We would absolutely trust her to watch Chief again and highly recommend her to anyone looking for a reliable sitter!”
“Our dogs were spoiled with love! We got pictures each day and we could see our dogs were super happy and well cared for during their visit. We highly recommend Julie!!”
“Mercedes is an angel. I have of the two most spoiled and stubborn Doodles in the world. This was our first trip where they were away from family. I knew that adjusting to someone else would be difficult for them, but Mercedes was so reassuring that all would be well. She was so patient, kind, and loving with my babies. I was so sure that we would have to cut our trip short, but with the updates and open dialogue on how to approach their care, I was left feeling at ease. My babies fell in love with her and they don’t do that easily. She has a wonderful supportive family and I wouldn’t trust them with anyone else.”
“Christina took care of our 5 month old puppy, Mocha, and gave us the best updates while we were out of town :) We’re very grateful to have found a home where Mocha is taken care of and has another dog to play with! Definitely would recommend Christina to anyone we know.”
“Julia was fantastic! She took such great care of my dog, did more than I even expected of her. And kept up with any questions I may have had while I was gone and updated me with photos. Would book again. I could tell my dog fell in love with her and her dog while I was away.”
“We had an amazing experience!! So sweet and caring, received many pictures. She made sure our dogs were very well taken care of and loved. Reccomend and will book again!”
“OUTSTANDING! Tootie had a wonderful time! Kathy sent pictures with funny comments. That should me Tootie was having a great time. That's important to me. Kathy was very thorough with the detailed care instructions. She asked questions for clarity. If you are in the Chicago area, please choose Kathy.”
“Susseth was a wonderful host. Our first time having her stay with our Boxer. Very patient with my anxiety and my last minute schedule change. She was able to keep my Boxer an extra day with one days notice. I’m thankful for her and her help with easing my stress. Communication was key and she provided me with all the details to make sure that all was ok. The pictures of my fur baby enjoying his time there were priceless.”
“Cary (and family) were great hosts for Mashed Potato. He's a pretty no fuss dog, and she matched with a similar "chill energy". We got in a Meet & Greet ahead of time (not that MP ever met a stranger or enemy, but it was a good double check), and we got photos here and there over our pretty long time away (mostly of him enjoying scratches and attention). Otherwise, it was pretty no frills and a smooth process. He came back happy and healthy.”
“Diana and Brian were wonderful! They were knowledgeable, responsive, caring, and very loving to our puppy while we were out of town. They sent lots of pictures and updates. We couldn't have asked for better providers!”
“Thank you again Kayla for having my Lady girl for the weekend! Kayla does a great job caring for my pup and keeping me in the loop on how she is doing. I never have to worry about Lady being in good hands.”
“Wayne did a wonderful job. His daily photos really exemplified how comfortable she was at his house with her new furry friends while we were away for a week. We will definitely use Wayne’s services again and highly recommend him!”
“Michelle was wonderful! She was very responsive and my dog absolutely loved her. She sent picture updates and was very prompt with drop off and pick up. Highly recommend”
About: I've had family dogs as long as I can remember and enjoy their company. From puppy to senior I have experience with pet needs and would love to treat your furry friend as our own! Currently available to walk in the late afternoons and evenings on the weekends and evenings only on week days. Only providing dog walking services for now. I have experience feeding and walking my family pets but also enjoy playing with them as well. I love exploring new places with my pets like taking them to the beach for example and enriching their lives with new experiences.

Frequently asked questions about Rover
The average cost for Dog Boarding in Manhattan on Rover is $42.8 per night (as of August 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 August 2026, there are 1,212 sitters on Rover offering Dog Boarding across Manhattan. 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.
95% of Manhattan 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 Manhattan 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 Manhattan 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 Manhattan.
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 Manhattan 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 IL 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.
