“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.”
“This was the second time my Noodles spent time with John. He came home super calm, happy and tired which is so unusual for this energetic puppy. Thank you so much!”
“Sabrina was amazing with magnolia! I’ve had unfavorable Rover experiences in the past so planned ahead and did a meet and greet. I could tell instantly how warm and genuine she is- she even read up on the notes before that meeting. I felt super comfortable heading into our weekend away. During the weekend she gave several updates and was generous with photos/ videos all descriptive of magnolias characteristics. I knew Magnolia loved her stay with Sabrina when I picked her up and she kept looking back for her to walk away with us! I will absolutely book with her again whenever she’s free!”
“I am beyond grateful with her and her husband. Im sure Bruno had s great time. I was updated with pictures and she was always available to answer my questions. I tried not to bother to much since it was Bruno first time sleeping outside the home but she was very patient. Bruno has a lot of energy so im sure they worked hard. Thank you sooo much for your service.”
“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 is very professional and flexible. Vito looked well taken care of and seemed right at home with Euitae and Winston. I’m glad Vito has new friends in the neighborhood!”
“Michael was great! Ozzy stayed there for a few nights and seemed happy via the updates. He was in great health and seemed comfortable. Michael did a great job with making sure Ozzy adjusted appropriately, giving him his medication and going out of his way to make sure he ate his food as he acclimated. Appreciate the care!”

“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 😄.”

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!
Philip was absolutely wonderful with our dog Hades! Hades has anxiety and needs a little extra patience and care, and Philip went above and beyond to make him feel comfortable and at home. It was clear from the start that he genuinely cares about the dogs he watches. His sweet pup, Nana Bu, was also incredibly welcoming and helped Hades settle in, which made such a difference. We could tell Hades was in great hands, and it gave us so much peace of mind while we were away. We couldn't be happier with the care Hades received and would absolutely book with Philip again. We highly recommend him to anyone looking for a kind, attentive, and trustworthy sitter!
Stephanie provided a wonderful time for a sweet little dog Stella over a busy holiday weekend. She took great care providing fun photos and videos of our doggo. She even went the extra mile watching our dog for an extra few hours when travel plans changed. It gave us a huge relief for her accommodations. Her dog Trout is an absolute treasure and kept her comfortable during her stay, snuggling and playing with her all day long. We would absolutely ask her to watch Stella (our dog) again.

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.
