“Alice and Ethan were amazing with my dog Sully! They took so many pictures and I can see how much attention he was getting! He got to go all over with them and explore new neighborhoods which he loves to do. I will definitely be using them again in the future!”
“Euitae was the best dog sitter I’ve ever had. Euitae was responsive and so so attentive and caring for my senior guy, Jack, taking Jack for lots of walks and adventures in the park, and even a dog café where Jack got to make new friends. I’m so incredibly grateful for Euitae and 1000% recommend him as a sitter! I can’t wait to call Euitae again, Jack had an AMAZING time.”
“Another great stay with Michael. He is so caring and our fur baby always has a good time despite his separation anxiety. Bonus is that Paneer is now good friends with Bread! Thank you Michael!”
“Meilin was fantastic! She took very well care of my older dog Lotus. She gave updates several times a day and answered immediately to my texts. I felt completely at ease knowing that he was with her while I was away.”
“It’s so sweet and comforting to see how Ryan and Jefra treat Buttercup like their own. This was the first time I’ve left him with a sitter for so long (two weeks) and he got special treats, snuggles, and playtime in their hallway while it stormed in New York. I got updates anytime I asked, and as usual Jefra took stunning pictures of him that are hard to believe are just iphone photos! Anytime we come by with him they’re friendly, and easy to talk to as well. Would highly recommend.”
“Sabrina was amazing! She took such great care of my dog and sent lots of pictures and updates, which I really appreciated. I felt completely at ease knowing my Maximus was in such good hands. I would definitely book with her again!”
“Sanga is 14 years old, and stayed with Ivette and Gonzalo for a week. He has come home looking really happy and healthy. He seems to be have been well cared for. The hosts are super responsive and Sanga looked really at home at their place. We are really happy and would highly recommend Ivette and Gonzalo.”
“Sarah and Danny were extremely kind and communicative. They sent plenty of photos and updates throughout my dog’s stay, putting my mind at ease. I would definitely use them again.”
“We unfortunately had to leave our new 2.5mo puppy for ten days only a couple weeks after adopting her. She was in the middle of housetraining which made us nervous but Adam was fantastic with her. He helped reinforce housetraining with Rey, gave her lots of attention, took her on good long walks, and kept us updated the whole week. Would definitely recommend Adam, especially for high energy puppies like ours.”
“Alexandra accepted our booking last minute and was very flexible with our schedule for pick up and drop off! She sent videos of Fennel throughout the stay and was very responsive. We would definitely use her again.”
“AMAZING DOG SITTER. Sampson played and snuggled and i got a million photos a day. Wei is an incredible person! She even gave my dog a christmas present and sent us home w new toys”
“Cannot endorse Lillian (and Picasso) enough! Chase and I have known both from the neighborhood for 2+ years and Lillian’s love, enthusiasm and understanding with the local pups was abundant. Chase just completed an awesome boarding stay and he is for sure still missing his adopted family. Lillian was patient and accommodating with some of Chase’s small quirks and scheduling adjustments when my flight was delayed. Chase had the time of his life and Lillian kept me updated with pics and funny stories of their adventures hanging out, walks and trips to the dog park. And of course Mr. Picasso is an awesome temporary step-bro—easily one of the sweetest, gentlest and most easy-going pups I’ve ever met. Huge thanks to Lillian & Picasso for caring for Chase so well and all the peace of mind while I was away 😁🐾🙏”
“Another great board with Kat! She was super knowledgeable and turns out she is actually in school for dog training. She gave me a few pointers for training my pup so that was a nice perk!”
“Paige took such great care of our pups, Trooper and Leia! She sent regular updates and they came back healthy, happy, and clean. She even sent them home with a toy that they enjoyed while staying with her. We recommend Paige to any pet parent!”
“I have a senior dog with some specific needs and Jiaxu took great care of her while I was away! She sent me photos, videos and updates every day and made sure to clarify any questions she had so that she could take the best care of my dog. I would leave my dog in her care again and would definitely recommend her to other pet parents. 😊 Thanks, Jiaxu!”
“Alyssa was so professional and truly an amazing sitter. Olive had a tough time adjusting this weekend and Alyssa made the best of the situation at every turn. I'm so thankful to her for watching after Olive and really making sure she was happy even after she had acted up early in the stay. I would recommend Alyssa to anyone needing any kind of assistance with their dogs.”
“Yuliia was great with our fur-baby! She made sure he got lots of outdoor time and provided regular photo and video updates. We had a late notice request and Yuliia responded quickly and kindly! Definitely would use her again.”
“Eva was kind, flexible, and communicative. She clearly loves dogs and took good care of Wallace. But appreciated her accommodating my schedule around the busy holidays.”
“Michelle is lovely and our dog was so happy to be with her for a week! We really appreciated that she was able to work from home so our dog wasn’t alone for too long. Michelle sent photos and updates daily. I would definitely book with her again.”

I feel so lucky to have found Amerah. Kelso and Izzy have stayed with her twice now while I've gone on work trips and I could not imagine leaving them in better hands. My guys are older and have complications, but from the get go, Amerah has been thoughtful, responsive and just all around lovely. Kelso and Izzy, of course, adore her and I'm sure are looking forward to their next visit. Again, counting our lucky stars.
Taylor was so amazing with Calvin! Starting from the meet and greet, she was asking all the right questions about his routine and his personality. Calvin was so excited when I dropped him off that he didn’t even look back to watch me leave. He had some tummy issues which Taylor made me aware of and I should note she handled them perfectly. I would definitely have her watch Calvin again!
We had a wonderful experience with Ryan! He took such great care of my dog, and she was happy and comfortable with him. He kept us updated with photos and messages, which gave us peace of mind while we were away. Thank you so much, Ryan! We would definitely book with him again!
Doosung was an excellent dog sitter! He gave plenty of communication and photo updates while my dog was boarding with him, and took my dog on walks or trips to the dog park every day. Doosung's frequent and regular communication was very comforting, and I could tell he really cares.
Sawyer was great with Pepper and great with communications. Pepper seemed happy and comfortable in his house and around him. Sawyer communicated daily about Pepper's eating, sleeping, walking, playing and 'bathroom' events, so that I felt comfortable while I was away. I'm already booked to use him again next month!
I’ve started referring to Seung as the “Dog Whisperer.” From the countless pics and videos he sends I DAILY of our dog being loved and well cared for, it’s evident just how much our dog trusts Seung and feels safe and happy even though he’s not with us. Seung is kind, generous, he truly loves dogs and genuinely cares for their safety and wellbeing. My baby is going back next month 💝
I was so lucky to find Dave for my Golden Retriever puppy, Bentley! Dave kept me updated the entire time with plenty of photos and videos documenting all their moments together. When I picked Bentley up, I could immediately tell how much he loved staying with Dave—he was actually sad to say goodbye! If I ever need dog boarding again, I will definitely reach out to Dave for Bentley. I highly recommend him to anyone looking for a reliable and caring dog sitter!

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.
94% 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.
<b>Tip:</b> 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 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.
