“Doug was amazing. My frenchie can be a handful and Doug took exceptional care of him-sent pics and videos without me having to ask. We will definitely use Doug again! Highly recommend!”
“Sabrina took wonderful care of my dog. I had to book the boarding last minite, but Sabrina was very accommodating. She responded to my messages quickly and also kept sending me photos of how my dog was doing which gave me peace of mind. When I was picking him up, Sabrina explained in detail how he ate, slept, walked and behaved during the stay. This proved to me that Sabrina paid a lot of attention to my dog. Most dog sitters in my experience didn't share this much detail. I highly recommend Sabrina!”
“Riceli and her family took great care of our baby Maddie while we were out of town, she would constantly send me picture updates of Maddie and it was very clear that they were having fun always. She was boarding other dogs at the same time so Maddie had friends to play with, when we picked her up she was ecstatic and I could tell she had been well taken care of. Will definitely book with her again!”
“Stefan has boarded my 11 year old labradoodle several times. He stays in communication and sends pictures regularly. Paris seems comfortable with him each time she sees him. Stefan has been wonderful to often take her last minute. Thank you!”
“Gina is an amazing dog sitter. She is responsible, very communicative, and you can tell she loves your dog as much as you do. We will be using her again!”
“We rebooked with them because of a great experience before. Our dogs enjoyed their stay and seemed quite comfortable, including our more particular dog. Would definitely return.”
About: I have always been so passionate about dogs and taking care of dogs. Growing up I volunteered at a local shelter (shout out to Best Friends Animal Shelter! Also where I adopted my dog!) and absolutely loved it. I have always found such fulfillment and joy taking care of dogs and I feel truly confident I am a great dog sitter. I am also the main caretaker for my dog Bode (pictured in the profile pic!) and have taken care of friends and family’s doggies whenever was needed. From training and playing, to grooming and bathing, I am your girl! I am currently a student from home and a yoga instructor so I am flexible! I would be open to discussing any scheduling requests with you :) My goal as a dog sitter is to provide a safe, loving, and nurturing environment for the pets in my client’s home. I will be sure to follow any instructions as to feeding routines as well as ensure there is always fresh water accessible for them. I love any playtime/physical activity as well such as playing fetch and going on walks. I am totally equipped to handle any bathroom situation your pet has as well as being able to monitor their bathroom break needs. Any health care needs as well will be taken very seriously, whether it’s giving medication, changing bandages, or providing any treatments I ensure the pet’s health needs are met! I will keep a close eye for any signs of distress or disconcerting behavior and be sure to notify the owner promptly. Lastly, I offer companionship and comfort to these pets in the absence of their owners.

“Waylyn enjoyed her time with Sulyema and Luna this weekend! She got to go to the dog park and got sooo many steps in! I received lots of photos, which are my favorite while away from my baby. Would definitely let her stay again on my next weekend away!”
“Bridget really helped me out when I needed a last minute sitter! She was very quick to respond to all messages and sent photos throughout my dog’s stay with her. I would definitely use Bridget again.”
“It was such a pleasure sending my pup to stay with Victoria!! From the second I met her I knew Brody was in good hands. Throughout his stay she was beyond communicative making me feel at ease from start to finish. Victoria was amazing with sending pictures and videos and providing constant updates. Brody was so happy and wagging his tail in every picture! Her dog Roxie is such a sweetheart and it was so nice that our pup had a buddy. I highly recommend Victoria and I will definitely be booking with her for our next trip!”

“Lal took great care of my senior shih Tzu Oliver. She sent lots of pictures and videos throughout his stay and was always very responsive when I needed to contact her”
“Andrea was communicative and conscientious. Her detailed questions before the stay were reassuring in that I could see she was serious about providing the best care possible. She was understanding when my dog had some health issues during the stay. Thank you Andrea!”
“Samantha took great care of our golden retriever and was very accommodating when we decided to extend our vacation, keeping him for another 48 hours and picking up some additional kibble for him. We will definitely ask her to take care of him on a future trip out of town.”
“These two guys are the BEST- they go above and beyond for your dog!!! Our dog Simba was sooooooo happy in all of his picture updates, we HIGHLY recommend them! If you can book with them, then YOU are the lucky ones- your dog will be well cared for!”

Dog parents share their Rover experiences - Manhattan
Susan was absolutely wonderful! Our Lenny is very shy and nervous around new people. Susan was so patient with Lenny during his overnight stay in her apartment. She sent us many updates and pictures knowing that Lenny was a bit anxious to be away from us. We would highly recommend Susan due to her warm nature and care for animals. We’re excited to have Lenny continue to build a relationship with her!
Remy had another great weekend with Ethel! She gave us a good recommendation for a pupsicle enrichment toy that Remy loved while boarding with her, we’re excited to buy one of our own for him. Loved her photo updates throughout the weekend as usual! Thanks again Ethel!
We had such a great experience with William! He took amazing care of Jax while we were out of the country for a week. We got regular updates and photos, which gave us so much peace of mind while we were away. Jax was happy and well cared for, and we couldn’t have asked for a better sitter. We’ll definitely book again!
Ruby had a wonderful stay with Rikki! She took such great care of Ruby and gave us regular updates throughout the weekend, which made it so much easier to relax while we were away. It was clear from the photos and messages that she genuinely cared about Ruby and made sure she was happy and comfortable. We would absolutely book with Rikki again and highly recommend her!
I cannot recommend Gabriela enough for both evening and overnight stays! She provides a safe and super loving home for Teddy when we’re busy, handles all her little idiosyncrasies with grace and is super responsive & flexible. Honestly a dream, no notes. Teddy didn’t want to leave her home after a 5 day trip! I think it’s safe to say we’re going to be lifers with her..!
Alex was fantastic with my dog Mickey! Mickey can be a bit shy and scared at times but Alex made him feel so comfortable in her home. She great had communication, very reliable and very understanding to Mickey’s needs I highly recommend her, and I’ll definitely be booking her again. Thank you so much Alex!
Adrienne was WONDERFUL. She is so sweet and Tinker was obsessed with her. He was smiling ear to ear in every picture update and was beaming when I picked him up. She was also so accommodating when my flights were delayed and travel got wonky. I will absolutely be bringing Tinker back to Adrienne! We are so happy
Yuliia (& Tony) were the absolute BEST! They took Benji on many adventures including a beautiful mountain hike - and I received the most fantastic videos, pictures and recaps. I know for sure that Benji loved his time with them and will look forward to reuniting in the near future. HIGHLY recommend booking Yuliia for your dog sitting needs!

Frequently asked questions about Rover
The average cost for Dog Boarding in Manhattan on Rover is $64.38 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 14,169 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.
96% 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 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.
