“We are incredibly grateful for Kelly and the care she gave our hard‑of‑hearing, one‑eyed dog. She watched him for eight days over a holiday on very short notice, handled his twice‑daily medication, and showed genuine kindness throughout. Her photo updates kept us at ease, and it was clear she treated him like family. We truly appreciate her.”
“11/10 Katherine & Jacob are the best! True dog whisperers! Highly, highly recommend. They took wonderful care of Bella, sent us daily updates and a whole bunch of photos, and even sent her home with a homemade scarf! Thank you Kat & Jacob, Molly & Copper for welcoming Bella into your pack :) We will absolutely be back when we return to Bozeman! Thank you again!”
“Tara took amazing care of our dog Maggie. We always get nervous to leave her with a new person but Tara was immediately welcoming during our pre-stay meetup and we could tell Maggie would be in good hands. She sent us lots of photos and videos which always makes the time away a little easier. Tara is great and we really appreciate the care she takes with our girl.”
“We can’t say enough wonderful things about Kathleen! She was absolutely amazing, and we never had a single worry about Brady while we were away. He is part of our family, so knowing he was in such loving, caring, and capable hands meant the world to us. It gave us total peace of mind knowing he was being well cared for and loved while we were not with him. We are very grateful for Kathleen and would recommend her to anyone looking for someone they can truly trust with their doggie!”
“Eliza went above and beyond while watching Major. She was very good at sending photos and giving updates while we were away. I would highly recommend her to watch your dog while you are away. Her dog is a joy and such a fun playmate!”
“Katherine was such a fabulous dogsitter. She was our first Rover and she set the bar so high. She is a great communicator, she was flexible with us when our trip plans changed and was flexible with planning around drop off/pick up. She sent us daily updates of their adventures with pics and videos. We kept joking the dog was having a better vacation than we were. We would absolutely send our pup to stay with Katherine and Nuggets again and would happily recommend her to others.”
About: I have had cats and dogs my whole life and truly love them. I love puppies, senior dogs, and any pup in between! I am willing to do walks, meds, or whatever your furry friend needs! I am a stay at home mom of 3 sweet girls, so my schedule is extremely flexible! I am available most days and times for meet and greets and drop offs I have a fenced yard and a 1yo spayed Cavalier King Charles Spaniel named Lady! I have a two story home with a gate to block the stairs. I have a small sized doggy door so the dogs are able to be in and out as they please!
“Claire took amazing care of my dog, I couldn’t have felt more comfortable or happy with how it went. Lots of outdoor activity, hiking, walking, swimming, other dogs to play with. I picked up a very happy dog. 10/10 recommend.”
“Our Weimaraner has a great visit with Emma and Chris! It was a test stay because Sam has a lot of energy. Emma and Chris were just great. Super friendly and clearly great with dogs and humans alike! We will book again!”
“What a relief to find a family who will give our little diva a home when we’re away:) Savannah and her family were fantastic and took such good care of Zoey. We will definitely book again!”
About: I’ve had animals my whole life. Grew up with 4+ dogs at all times, fostering and rehabilitating too. My 5 year old terrier is my world, and the best adventure buddy I could ask for. I am very experienced and trustworthy in all things pet sitting. If your pet has dietary restrictions, disabilities, or anything that makes them a bit out of the ordinary, I am more than happy to accommodate. I have reliable transportation and am willing to do what it takes to have your needs met! I have a very flexible schedule and can be available almost any day with at least a few hours notice. When scheduling check ups or sitting, I can do any time during the day including earlier mornings and late nights if needed. I drive an F250 that is very trustworthy and reliable. There is lots of space if I’m taking your big dogs to the park. I will always have transportation to parks, vet, etc. My dogs require an extremely secure environment, so I am good at keeping a close eye on them and making sure everything is escape proof and safe for them and for me. Safety and trust is a big deal for me when meeting clients and their pets and vice versa. I do Rover because I love to do something familiar that I know I’m good at; taking good care of your four-legged friends!
“Raina provided excellent care for our dog Sienna. She quickly made Sienna feel comfortable, giving us peace of mind knowing our pup was in good hands. We got regular updates and Raina was always responsive with our communication, which was much appreciated as well! If you are in need of a thoughtful, responsive, and caring pet sitter, we would recommend Raina (& Ridley)!”
“Lisa was wonderful with Bodhi! She sent lots of photos and updates and was very communicative and easy to schedule with. He came back really happy and seemed to have such a fun time. We will definitely use Lisa in the future!”

Frequently asked questions about Rover
The average cost of Dog Boarding in Manhattan is $44 per night as of October 2026. Most bookings cost between $33 and $59 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 162 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 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.
97% 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, 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 , 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 MT 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.
