“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.”

“Thank you do much Melanie! You leot me updater everyday in regards to my sweet Milo and also sent me pictures of him. You took such great care of him and I will definitely be needing you again for December, I hope you’re available for my sweet boy! Thank you again☺️☺️”
“I have a sweet but anxious girl and she was very happy staying with Janise- I could tell by the videos she keep me updated with that she was happy and trusted her - I would highly recommend her and would rebook 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.”
“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 😄.”
“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.”
“Wei Han was wonderful! My pup had such a great time and she even gave her a t-shirt to go home in. I could really enjoy my vacation knowing Sadie was in good hands. I would definitely use her again!”
“Yuan is the best EVER. She helped when I urgently needed to be with family. Not only did she help me during a quick turn around, Yuan was flexible as my timing changed, steady, and calm. Most, most importantly, my pup has never been so calm and unphased when I picked her up and she’s a mini Aussie/Border Collie (!!). Fantastic communication, great exercise, and great care and concern all around. I’m afraid Yuan will be tough to book in the future - she’s that amazing. ;) Thank you, Yuan!”
“Kiersten and Casey did an amazing job with Nyla. She settled in quickly with no issues, which can be a challenge at times with Nyla…,plus I got a few beautiful portraits of Nyla. Talented for sure, you can see their love for dogs. I will definitely be rebooking!”
“Kecia was so wonderful with our dog, she is very caring, patient, and loving! Throughout the few days our dog stayed with her, she cared for our dog as if she was one of her own. Kecia is very communicative, provided updates and pictures and seemed to really understand our dog's quirks and needs. We know she is good hands with Kecia. Highly recommend Kecia!”
“Maisha was an amazing sitter for my pup! She restored my trust in the Rover platform after a couple of not so pleasant experiences…and he smelled amazing at pickup! I received morning and nightly updates with pics. Will definitely book again!!”
“Anky was very communicative throughout the whole stay, taking time to send multiple updates each day. She also took my pup to the dog park almost every day! My dog had a blast staying at Anky’s and I’d highly recommend booking with her”
“Willow had the best time!!! They really were so communicative, and helpful and sent so many pictures and updates it was a relief for me! Willow has special needs and they really made sure she was comfortable and put at ease and I can’t wait to use them in the future!! Thank you!”

Dog parents share their Rover experiences - Manhattan
Wei was wonderful with our 14-month-old puppy! He kept us updated throughout the stay with videos and photos, which gave us so much peace of mind while we were away. He took our pup to the dog park, and his own dog spent lots of time playing with ours, which was such a bonus. It was clear our puppy got plenty of exercise, attention, and socialization. Our dog came home happy, relaxed, and well cared for. Wei was communicative, reliable, and clearly has a great way with dogs. We really appreciated the thoughtful updates and could tell our pup had an amazing time. We'd absolutely book with Wei again and highly recommend him to anyone looking for a caring and trustworthy sitter!
Ethel watched Max for a 3-day stay and I really appreciated her updates! It looked like he had a lot of fun and was well taken care of. He was tuckered out and not anxious when I picked him up, which is a good sign. Lots of photos and pictures. I would definitely recommend her. She was also extremely flexible and positive even though my travel plans got delayed.
Melanie watched our dog for a week, and we can't thank her enough. We're very anxious dog owners and had actually never left our dog with a rover sitter before, always relying on friends and family. From the moment I met Melanie, it was obvious how much she genuinely loves and cares for animals. We couldn't have asked for a better experience and highly recommend her to anyone looking for a loving, trustworthy, and reliable dog sitter.
Brianna was amazing. She took my pup on several city adventures to parks and the riverside and kept me updated along the way. She administered my dogs medication without issue. Her communication is excellent and she sent me lots of photos of my dog. I would trust her with my dog any day and look forward to booking with her in the future. She is without a doubt the best dog sitter I have booked on Rover.
Seung is truly my favorite sitter by far! The only reason I’ve ever not use him is if he’s unavailable bc he is seriously the best! He always takes care of my Charles and updates me with so many cute photos and videos. He takes him on fun adventures to the park and car rides and Seung has his little pup Latte so my Charlie always has a friend when he’s there. 🥹💗

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.
