“Tatyana is truly a one of a kind dog sitter! She treats every dog like her own and sends along tons of updates, photos, and videos. You can see how happy the pups are with her in all of the photos and my dog Thunder gets so excited to see her when they reunite for boarding! You truly cannot beat her services and I’d recommend her to anyone!”
“Dontae was amazing with Kira. I was abroad and needed someone to take care of her in a pinch and he was very accommodating. He regularly sent updates and made sure Kira was comfortable. His dog seemed to be very chill and got along with Kira. Will definitely book again, thank you again for your help Dontae!”
“Jay was amazing with Winnie! He’ll be my go-to doggy daycare, super reliable, a fellow dog parent so a complete natural with my Winnie, highly recommend!!”
“Monique was very flexible and agreed to take care of our Mocca at the very last minute. She communicated well with us and regularly sent updates and photos, which we greatly appreciated. We'd be happy to work with her again anytime!”
“She was a sweetheart! I had a scheduling issue and she let me add an extra day. She handled it all and was easy to coordinate with for the hours for pick up and drop off. Her dog was a great dog and very friendly with mine. She shared lots of photos and updates and my dog has been snoring all day since I’ve brought her home!”
“Kate and Michael did such a good job with Juno. While he was excited to see me when I arrived, I could tell he’d gotten plenty of love and attention while I was away. They were so professional, communicate, and accommodating to all our needs. I’ll definitely be rebooking!”
“Thank you for taking such great care of Maple this weekend! The photos, videos and updates were so appreciated and helped us enjoy our time away knowing that Maple was also having a great weekend!”
“Ethel always makes sure my dogs have a great time, while keeping me updated and providing flexibility when life gets tricky. I so appreciate her help, and will definitely come to her in the future if in need of walking or boarding!”
About: I’ve always been surrounded by dogs, whether it’s my sister’s or my cousin’s dog. As a nurse, I already have the compassion and caretaking qualities. If you’ll entrust your best friend to me, I’ll give them plenty of love and care. I’m a night shift nurse working three shifts a week. I’m always trying to take advantage of the daytime to catch some sun- hopefully your dog will join me in those times on a sweet stroll. A firm believer in touching grass, I’d dedicate my stretches of days off when I’m not working to take your furfriend out for some much deserved playtime! I live in an apartment that is dog friendly. My home has plenty of space albeit a one-bedroom unit. There is a security system built into place as well.
“My Dog Rio is the biggest baby you’ll ever meet,also he has severe separation anxiety… he took to Jacqueline immediately and that was a relief to me , if he trusted her so would I … Jacqueline was awesome with him and communication was easy , she updated me with pictures and told me how he was doing daily , couldn’t ask for a better sitter”
“I really appreciated how communicative Lal was. She sent lots of photos and videos and it felt very reassuring. Lal is very kind and I know she put in great effort to make Jaz comfortable.”
“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.”
“Douglas took loving care of Breezy for two weeks. I received frequent updates. Douglas has a dog and hosted others during Breezy’s stay which is nice for my dog. Pick up and drop off were smooth. I will ask Douglas to do more stays.”
“I could not have imagined a better sitter for my puppy, Leo. This was my first trip away from him, so I was a little nervous and didn't know what to expect. Wei was super communicative from the start. We exchanged many messages before my trip, and met in person so my pup could meet her sweet doggo ahead of time. I could tell right away that Leo was in good hands. I so appreciated all the pictures and videos of Leo while I was away. You can 100% trust her with your pet! We will definitely book with her again. Thank you Wei!”
“Caterina was terrific with Fala! She sent updates and photos + videos throughout Fala's two night stay and despite generally stormy weather, got Fala out as much as possible. I look forward to booking with Caterina again!”
“Victoria took such good care of my dog, she was super communicative and made sure she understood his unique needs and preferences. She gave me lots of updates and photos and made it a special experience for him, thank you!”
“Highly recommend, Jamie was incredible! I appreciated that she asked several questions before accepting my request for a sitter to truly make sure she could offer the level of care I was looking for. She sent several updates/pics throughout each day and played fetch and went on plenty of walks with my pup daily. Her communication and reassurance throughout the entire stay was the best I've seen. I would without a doubt hire her the next time I'm out of town!”
“Kavita was a great sitter and provided tons of updates and pics throughout the stay. This was our first time leaving our puppy with a sitter and she made us feel like she was in great hands!”
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.

We booked Roman last minute and he was excellent! Frequent videos, pictures, and updates of Jobi were incredibly reassuring as this was his first time staying with someone other than a friend/family member. So glad we have someone reputable in the neighborhood to watch our pup!
Ethyl was so amazing. She did so many fun adventures with Facci and showed her a ton of love while at home. I needed dog sitting very last minute and she was made me feel much more relaxed. Facci seemed so at home and was having a lot of fun and also was able to feel relaxed when I was away. Loved all the pics and videos and updates. I can’t recommend Ethyl enough.
Christina and Stefan took incredible care of our senior pup, Milo, for a full week, and we couldn't have asked for better sitters! From start to finish, their communication, attentiveness, and genuine love for animals shone through. They handled pick-up and drop-off seamlessly, taking extra care to pace their walk with regular breaks so Milo wouldn't get overexerted. Throughout the stay, they provided frequent photo and video updates, keeping us completely at ease while we were away. Milo had an absolute blast—whether he was sunbathing, visiting the dog park, getting brushed, receiving belly rubs, or even joining them on coffee runs for special treats! They even thoughtfully cooked sweet potatoes for him as dog-safe treats. What impressed us most was how attentive and gentle they were with Milo’s senior needs: When he had an accidental bladder leakage while sleeping, they immediately gave him a gentle shower, dried him off carefully, kept him cozy beside them, and closely monitored him while giving us clear, reassuring updates. When they noticed him shaking his head and scratching his ear, they gently cleaned it to relieve his discomfort. When he was licking his paws in the evening, they thoughtfully rinsed his paws with warm water before bed so he could sleep soundly. They never hesitated to accommodate his schedule—even taking him out at 4:30 AM when nature called! Christina and Stefan treated Milo like family. We are so grateful for their exceptional care and would rebook them in a heartbeat. Highly recommended to anyone looking for compassionate, trustworthy, top-notch pet care!
I’ve used Genesis’s service for over 5 years. I’ve been so impressed with her professionalism, courtesy and commitment to my dog’s health and happiness. It’s no wonder that every time we come for a drop off my dog is so excited and happy to see her. I’m so thankful for Genesis’s amazing help over the years.
Devon was great with Max! She kept us updated and sent photos throughout his stay, which we really appreciated. Max was a very nervous at first, and she was very patient and understanding with him and helped him settle in. We felt very comfortable knowing he was in good hands. Thank you, Devon!
Gina is wonderful! She treats my baby Shiba Inu’s so well, especially my older Shibas who’s very anxious and scared of everything around her. She gives them the care and attention that they need, and I can tell that they feel comfortable around her. Guaranteed to book her again. 🐕
Kelsey was an absolute delight to work with. She was easy, accommodating, friendly, and most importantly took very good care of my French bulldog Dolores. My dog takes a specific person to watch her and I was very open with Kelsey about it and Kelsey in return was so good about everything and made my weekend away Seamless. I will absolutely be using Kelsey again in the near future.
Sorayah was absolutely wonderful! My dog stayed with her for 7 weeks, and it was clear from all the photos and videos that she was having the best time. Sorayah sent me the sweetest updates throughout her stay, which made being away from my pup for so long so much easier. She also did a great job keeping up with my dog’s various medications and supplements, which gave me a lot of peace of mind. Most importantly, my dog absolutely loved her and came home happy and well cared for. I’m so grateful to have found Sorayah and will definitely be reaching out to her again the next time I travel. I wouldn’t hesitate to recommend her to anyone looking for someone kind, reliable, and genuinely caring to look after their pup!
Jagruti did 16 days of walks, plus a week of boarding at their home, for our Labrador while we were away in August. This included hand-off and return of our dog and her essentials in the middle of the relevant period, because we were away at different times. Everything went very well - good communications before, during and after. Plenty of pictures and updates❤️ Thanks very much!
Emma was wonderful with Amigo! She was very communicative, sent frequent photos and updates, and even took him to the park, which he absolutely loves. It gave us great peace of mind knowing he was happy, comfortable, and so well cared for during our weekend away. We would happily book with Emma again!
Alexandra was a superstar, literally the best and most accommodating person (not just sitter!) that we could’ve hoped for. She was attentive, responsible, and loving with her care of our dog, and she even created some silly, cute memories for him. I wouldn’t hesitate at all to book again with her. If she’s available, sprint to book her!

Frequently asked questions about Rover
The average cost for Dog Boarding in Manhattan on Rover is $64.38 per night (as of September 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 September 2026, there are 14,120 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.
