“Victoria has been watching my dog Fritz for several months now and he always is happy to go to her house and happy when he comes home. She takes excellent care of him and sends updates. We're very happy to have found such a wonderful pet sitter for him.”
“We met Randi before Todd's overnight stay to meet her and her dog. She made me feel comfortable with leaving him overnight. Randi did great with keeping me updated on how my dog was doing. He came home exhausted from playing. We've already booked a second stay with her!”
“Courtney was wonderful to book with, we had the utmost confidence in her care of our senior dog. She opened up her home to our elderly dog Elias and was communicative, professional and kind. We will happily be re-booking with her again in the future. Thank you again!”
“Kymberly was wonderful! She took my booking at the last minute and then worked with us as we had schedule changes. She was prompt with communicating and provided regular updates on our dogs. They were well taken care of and we'll use her services again!”
“Nora was great with Boston & very flexible. I booked with not a lot of time in advance and she was flexible for me to come and do a meet & greet despite it being the week of Thanksgiving. She sent lots of pictures while we were away from our sweet boy, and we are grateful for the good care Nora & her family provided to Boston.”
About: My name is Patrick, my family has owned 6 dogs all from when they were puppies, I love dogs and will care for yours as if they are my own. I will walk with the dogs (run if requested) currently I have two dogs marlow and mimi one suffers from epilepsy so I know what to do if there are any problems with the dog or dogs. I can brush and groom dogs, I previously had a husky so I am used to shedding. My dogs love to go on walks, when I walk them I usually avoid taking the same route so they can have new smells and it seems to be more enjoyable for them. I love to meet new animals and learn about different breeds of dogs.
“She was great with Nora! She was super accommodating with my last minute booking and everything went smoothly. Very flexible with our pick up and drop off times which I appreciate. Would recommend her serviced!”
About: I’ve take care dogs since I was 7 always around dogs and always helping neighbors with their dogs. It is the best environment that I love to in it. I’m currently working on base but I’m always available after 5 pm and weekends for walking daily after 5 pm or staying with me if someone needs to travel. I have a fenced backyard and friendly dog that loves to play so I have enough space for more dogs and toys for them to play.
The median cost per night for dog boarding in Manhattan is $32
Dog parents share their Rover experiences - Manhattan
I can’t recommend Kymberly and her fam enough! They took such great care of Fletch while I was on vacation, and it gave me so much peace of mind knowing he was in such good hands. They were so sweet, caring, and attentive to him, and I could tell he was well loved and taken care of the entire time. I loved all the updates I got on a daily basis. I’m so grateful they were willing to watch him, and I would absolutely trust them with him again! I highly recommend them to anyone looking for someone who will treat their pet like their own.
Randi was great! She helped us feel comfortable immediately. During the meet and greet she took us, her dog, and our dog on a walk to get acclimated to each other. She provided her knowledge about techniques she’s found helpful in working with our little one. During the booking she sent us photos daily and stayed in contact about everything. I would 100% recommend having your animals cared for by Randi!
Jessi did a wonderful job with our girl! She has a very clean environment, individual kennel space and we loved receiving the daily pictures. Our girl felt right at home besides having more fur friends to play with. She came home very happy. We highly recommend her. Truly worth every penny!
⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️ 5/5 — Amazing Dog Sitter! I recently had my dog cared for by Colton and I couldn’t be happier with the experience. From the moment we met, it was clear that they genuinely love and understand animals. They treated my dog like family, and I felt completely comfortable leaving him in their care. Throughout the stay, I received regular updates, pictures, and messages that showed my dog having fun, getting plenty of attention, and being well taken care of. My dog can be a little shy with new people, but he warmed up to them instantly which says a lot about their energy and patience. The home was clean, safe, and dog-friendly, and they followed all my instructions perfectly. When I picked my dog up, he was happy, calm, and clearly had a great time. It gave me huge peace of mind knowing he was in such good hands. I highly recommend Colton to anyone looking for a trustworthy, caring, and reliable dog sitter. I will definitely be booking with them again!

If you would like updates while you’re away, you can discuss with your sitter how many or how frequent you’d like those updates to be. The Rover app allows sitters to send photos, videos, and messages about your pet, including how many pee or poop breaks occurred. You can message your sitter at any time through the app and our support team is available 24/7 by email or chat if you have concerns.
The personalized, in-home nature of pet care through Rover can mean more individual attention for your pet.
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.
96% of sitters in Manhattan 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 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.
Yes, you can find sitters who have experience with handling special pet needs in Manhattan. On Rover:
- 94% of sitters can help with special care needs
- 96% can help with giving oral medications or injections
- 96% can help with daily exercise
You can also find pet sitters on Rover who accept only one pet at a time, which is ideal for anxious puppies, kittens, or senior pets who move at a gentler pace. Some sitters will also list availability for 24/7 care, also known as constant care, in their profiles.
Use the search filters to narrow down sitters whose specific experience or environment meets your pet's needs. When reaching out to your sitter, outline your pet's care routine and use the Meet & Greet to walk your sitter through your expectations.
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 KS 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.
Adding another pup to the pack? Most sitters and walkers offer a reduced rate for additional dogs. You’ll find these exact rates listed under the "Services" tab on any sitter's profile. Since every dog is unique, final pricing may vary depending on the level of care required.
