“Ryan was a phenomenal sitter! He was quick to accept my last minute request. He was attentive and followed all my instructions while sending video and picture updates at my preferred cadence! Ryan is great with dogs and even offered a few toys and treats of his own while checking with me first to see if ok. Ryan was an amazing sitter and I plan to use him again!”
“Roman was incredible. He sent us daily pictures and videos and was very communicative. He took such great care of Luna for 2 weeks, taking her for long walks in the park. We will absolutely work with him again.”
“John is caring, reliable, and super responsive. What more can I say? Our terrier has been in very good hands with him--for two separate overnights as well as a seven-day stay.”
“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!”
“Iliana is the best! She took great care of my dog. She kept me updated and treated Storm like her own. Would definitely recommend her. Thank you so much Iliana!”
“Sarah gave Dante an outstanding stay caring for him while we were away visiting family do 3 days. She sent plenty of photos and kept us updated several times a day on how he was doing. She took Dante on 2-3 walks a day and gave him plenty of opportunities to make new furry friends at Central Park. Highly recommend Sarah and hope we can work together again!”
“Lal is an amazing sitter! She is always so accommodating and makes sure my dog Margot is well taken care of. She sends plenty of updates, which gives me great peace of mind while I’m away. She’s incredibly responsive, responsible, and clearly cares for the pets she watches. I highly recommend her to anyone looking for a trustworthy and caring sitter!”
“Euitae was amazing with our pup Nutmeg! He was incredibly responsive, sent us plenty of photos, and treated her like one of his own. We felt completely at ease knowing she was in such good hands and look forward to having Euitae care for Nutmeg again soon.”
“Michael was fantastic - i have a Chihuahua who is slow to warm up and she loved staying here. Was snuggling in the same bed as their dog Bread in just one night. She even got a bit sick and Michael was super on top of it and checked to make sure she was ok and kept a close eye of her. Sent lots of pics and great communication. Thanks michael!”
“Eleanor took amazing care of my Tex! She asked all the right questions, gave him the best care, and was extremely thorough and responsive. Tex was thrilled to stay with her and we highly recommend her! Thank you so much, Eleanor!”
“Mykala and her partner took great care of my dog Tails! It was a fairly last minute request for multiple days of boarding so I was very relieved to find good caregivers for him. They provided lots of updates and Tails enjoyed spending time with their dog Boots. I would book again!”

“Anton was very kind and accommodating of my anxious dog. It was the very first boarding experience for my dog, Reiki, and he was very nervous when we arrived at Anton's place. I was worried that he would stay restless, but I was totally wrong! Anton sent me photos and updates, which made me feel safe asking more of his service again. Reiki was able to calm down within hours under his care, and very much enjoyed spending time with him 😄.”
“Angelique was absolutely lovely! She was extremely communicative and her love for dogs is apparent! Charlie was very well take care of during his stay. She made sure to stay in contact and provide updates. Highly recommend and will definitely be booking with her again!”

Stefan is great! We have a dachshund puppy (which, if you know can be particular little animals) and he treats her so well, sends many updates, and is incredibly flexible to do what works best for everyone. Our pop always comes home tired and happy. Thank you Stefan!
Samantha was the best caretaker for my dog, Finnley! With heart and attention to his daily needs, she played with him, loved him and took him on lots of walks. Finnley has anxiety issues and physical limitations. I feel so fortunate to have found Samantha and it was evident from the photos she sent to update me, that Finnley felt very comfortable.
Sampras loved staying with Viktoria while we were out of town! She was great with taking him on walks and managing the walk schedule since it was so hot out. She sent frequent pictures and checked in regularly. And she was so friendly and enjoyable for us to coordinate with! We will definitely send Sampras to Viktoria again in the future!
Chih ying was absolutely fantastic with our Labrador retriever Maisy. She was able to watch her on very short notice over the Fourth of July holiday, which was such a huge help. She was incredibly communicative throughout the entire stay, sending daily updates and lots of pictures that gave me so much peace of mind. It was clear Maisy was well cared for and happy. I would absolutely book with her again and highly recommend her to anyone looking for a reliable, caring, and responsive sitter!
Michael was great with our dog and took great care of her during her stay. He sent regular updates throughout, which gave us peace of mind, especially as first-time Rover users. He was also accommodating when we ran behind for pickup. We were very happy with our experience and would definitely recommend Michael
Michelle took care of my 2.5 year old cavapoo over a long weekend. She was very nice and professional and came to meet me and my dog ahead of the booking. She was attentive, asked for detailed notes on Milo, which gave me comfort, sent me updates and pictures every day. Milo came back happy from his stay. I will definitely be a repeat customer.
Angelina and Donnie took such wonderful care of our dog, and we couldn't be more grateful. From the moment we met them, it was clear how kind, caring, and attentive they are. They treated our dog like one of their own, which gave us complete peace of mind while we were away. They kept us updated, were incredibly reliable, and went above and beyond to make sure our dog was happy, comfortable, and well loved. We came home to a relaxed, happy pup, and that says everything. I wholeheartedly recommend Angelina and Donnie to anyone looking for trustworthy, compassionate pet sitters. They are truly wonderful people, and we feel so lucky to have found them!
Alexandra took great care of my dog. She was quick to respond and kept me updated. She also asked some very thoughtful questions before the rover booking which shows she really cares about making sure she has all the info she needed to take the best care of my dog. I will definitely reach out to her again if I need a rover.
Selam was wonderful! We booked very last-minute, and she was happy to make time for a meet and greet. Annie's stay was during a heatwave and 4th of July, so we were worried about her health/safety during the heat and her comfort during the fireworks. Selam handled both of those things perfectly! She was incredibly diligent about making sure Annie got the walks she needed, while also being mindful of the heat and being attuned to Annie's comfort and health. She checked Annie's ears and belly to make sure she wasn't too hot, brought water on walks, and made sure Annie could rest whenever she wanted. Selam was so caring during the fireworks, providing comfort and distraction to minimize Annie's anxiety. She was also very communicative, providing detailed updates and photographs daily. We would happily book with Selam again!
Tolga was amazing with pepper. I really feel she got all the attention she needed, including hugs, ball playing and especially during the fireworks, where pepper needed to be held and calmed down. I hope i get a chance to use him again for pepper- I absolutely would!
Shaiza was absolutely amazing! She is so sweet and we felt immediately that Charlie would be in great hands when speaking to her. She took amazing care of Charlie, took lots of pictures, and sent updates throughout the day. She was also very accommodating for pick-up, when we had a last minute hiccup. Thank you, Shaiza! We will absolutely book you again in the future!

FAQs for Dog Boarding - Manhattan
Frequently asked questions about Rover
The average cost for Dog Boarding in Manhattan on Rover is $64.35 per night (as of July 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 July 2026, there are 14,134 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 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.
