“Super responsive, easy to communicate with, and convenient drop off location right by Central Park! Our dog came back happy :) will definitely reach out to Euitae again when we’re in UWS!”
“Couldn't ask for a better sitter! My dog can be nervous in new places and around new people, but Eleanor made him feel right at home and accommodated for his health issues as well. She was also incredibly flexible and understanding when it came to drop off and pick up times. Just a wonderful experience.”
“She took amazing care of our dog during doggy day care. She sent lots of pictures and even sent him home with some fancy treats! He was well loved and cared for.”
“Our dog Ricky has been having a great time with Darlene, practically running towards her building after just the first visit. She keeps us updated throughout the day and Ricky can’t wait to have doggy day care at her secure, clean, and convenient place again.”
“Amazing! 🤩 I had a personal emergency and asked Shaye if she could take care of Reese she responded within seconds and was so supportive! 1000/10 ✨✨”
“Laura was so good with Billie. She kept me up to date throughout the day and Billie came home exhausted from all the fun but eager to go back the next day! Will definitely be using Laura again!”
“Lee and Alex are fantastic duo! They are incredible hosts and have graciously agreed to take care of our pup last minute. Lee was so thoughtful and kind, and sent so many pictures and videos as she knew I was worried (this was the first time we tried day care), and made me feel at ease. She is truly a great mama and it felt like she was my good old friend, and my pup's auntie. Thank you Lee and Alex! Satto can't wait to spend time with you and his new dog friends again!”
“We were visiting NY for summer vacation with our doggy from NS, Canada and were very worried about sitter for doggy as they’re not allowed in most of the sight seeing places. Angelina took care of Bow even though it was last minute booking and was really friendly in taking care of big dog like Bow. Right from sending pictures of Bow to responding to messages, she’s prompt and kind. I would highly recommend her as a sitter.”
“Our dog Maisy absolutely loved her daycare stay with Heather. Maisy is only 5 months old and a very shy dog, but Heather was sure to make her stay was as stress free as possible, even hand feeding her. By the end of her stay, Maisy and Heather were best friends. I also appreciated the updates and photos throughout the day, which made my day stress-free. We will be back to visit NYC soon and will definitely book with Heather again. If you are looking for a reliable, attentive and patient dog sitter, I would highly recommend Heather.”
“Sophia is the best! She sent me so many photos throughout the day :) because my dog has medical issues, she took so much care in paying close attention to him throughout the day and updating me. ❤️❤️”
“Haziza was wonderful! I had to take a last minute trip into the city and traveling with my pet (Scout) was tough. I made the request last minute and Haziza responded immediately! I was nervous as I have never used a Rover in the city, but Haziza has us meet and immediately I felt at ease! She went above and beyond for sending me photos and videos of Scout at the park and even enjoying her family time in the comfort of Hazizas home! I will 100% book with her again any time I am in the city! Cannot give her a high enough review!”
“We had such a great experience with Alyssa! Interactions were very positive including meeting up beforehand, great communication throughout the stay with photos and updates, and just a really nice person who makes you feel comfortable leaving your pup with. Thanks Alyssa!”
“Laura was wonderful with our German shepherd Rosie, with lots of enthusiastic care. She kept us up to date with photos and reports so we knew Rosie was happy and relaxed. We recommend Laura’s services!”
“I was nervous to leave my puppy in daycare for the first time, but Sungmin took such good care of him and put me at ease with frequent updates, photos and videos. Our puppy is a lot of work and she spent plenty of time playing with him and giving him attention. She was transparent about other animals that would be there as well, and i am happy he was able to socialize and play with another puppy.”
“Sonia is amazing! Dalbit loved her space - I feel good knowing he has a great outdoor area to play. She sent me tons of videos and photos during the day. Definitely recommend her!”
“Kadeem went above and beyond to accommodate changes in both of our schedules. His care of my dog allowed me to work an event in the area and know my pup was cared for.”
“Pablo had a great stay with Kehlani and was very happy when I picked him up. Additionally, Kehlani was very responsive before and during the time she cared for him. I was also appreciative of the fact she was available on somewhat late notice. I will definitely check to see if she is available the next time we need a dog sitter.”
“Tracy is always so good with my dogs! They come home happy and healthy every time, and I LOVE the pictures and updates she sends me. A kind soul who’s great with dogs!”

Justin was great with McNugget! He treated her so sweetly, played lots of fetch with her, and gave her plenty of cuddles. He followed all of our instructions perfectly and was also very kind and easy to communicate with. McNugget seemed very happy and comfortable with him. We’d definitely trust him to watch her again! Thank you Justin, see you next time :)
Abby was incredibly sweet with my anxious senior dog. She sent pics and updates throughout the day and was extremely responsive and communicative. She even went above and beyond to drop him off at my work to save me the trip of going to pick him up. I would definitely book with Abby again!
Shelby was great with my nervous dog Tater! Although he takes some time to warm up to new people, she made him feel comfortable and he was giddily jumping up on her by the end of the week. Communication and was fast and easy and she was flexible when my schedule shifted slightly. Would love to have her watch Tater again!
Finley was great with Gigi, booked quickly when I was on a time crunch for work. Sent updates and you can tell really enjoys taking care of them. Gigi seemed to enjoy his hang, sometimes he can get a bit overstimulated around new people but she did great handling and could tell he was at ease when I picked him up, definitely would use again!
I had last-minute birthday dinner plans and was so happy to connect with Sharmistha! She was conveniently close by and incredibly accommodating. I heard Luna got plenty of her favorite belly rubs, which was such a sweet surprise! Thank you so much for taking such good care of my little one and making the evening so easy. Highly recommend!
I have been very happy with my doggy daycare experiences with Tingly! Bailey seems to really enjoy his experiences there! He is always happy to go there and that says a lot when it comes to him! Communication and flexibility are always excellent! So glad to find them!

Frequently asked questions about Rover
The average cost for Doggy Day Care in Manhattan on Rover is $51.06 per day (as of September 2026). However, all sitters set their own rates based on experience, location, and availability.

Sitters on Rover can offer flexible scheduling, so you can coordinate times that work best for you and your pet—whether that’s early drop-off or later pick-up to match your Manhattan commute.
If your schedule changes, it’s best to let your sitter know through the app as early as possible. Many sitters can adjust pick-up and drop-off times when needed.
Think of doggy day care as your dog’s fun, supervised play date that happens to fit into your workday. Day care through Rover takes place in a real home. This offers a calmer and more personalized environment for your pup.
A typical day can include companionship, one-on-one attention, and same day pick-up and drop-off. Many sitters can also offer structured routines and exercise throughout the day. For recurring, weekly day care, sitters will include photo updates so you can see your dog in their element.
Here are tips for finding the ideal day care fit for your dog:
- For some small dogs: In-home day care can be the perfect fit. Look for sitters whose "can host" section only lists dogs weighing 0–7 kilograms and/or 7–18 kilograms. During your Meet & Greet, ask about play areas based on dog size and energy level.
- For high-energy dogs: The ideal doggy day care can offer scheduled breaks and outdoor spaces or activities. You can also find sitters who host multiple dogs to satisfy your pup’s socializing needs.
- For dogs who prefer human-only companionship: Use the filters "Doesn't own a dog" and "Only accepts one pet at a time" to find the right care.
Play groups can be an option when you book with a day care sitter through Rover. Many sitters do host a small number of dogs at the same time. Smaller dog packs are generally safer, more fun, and ideal for dogs who enjoy playtime but also want to relax throughout the day. When looking for your dog’s pack, check the sitter’s profile to see if they "Accept multiple clients" or have their own dogs. Then during the Meet & Greet, you can see whether your dog is a good fit for their social circle!
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.
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 .
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.
A Meet & Greet is a short introductory meeting between you, your dog, and a sitter. It can take place in person or virtually, although we recommend in-person so that your pet can get to know your sitter or the new environment. During the Meet & Greet, you will have a chance to walk through your pet's routine, medical needs, and unique quirks. Take the time to ask your sitter questions about their skills and expertise, and make sure the fit feels right for everyone. Most pet parents and sitters on Rover welcome Meet & Greets because the process can give confidence and peace of mind for service experiences, especially for longer stays or first-time bookings.
Yes, Rover is well-suited for finding sitters who can care for your pet within 24 hours. With 11,461 sitters in Manhattan, 87% respond to messages in under an hour.
You can message multiple sitters simultaneously to find the fastest available match. If you need care today or tomorrow, you can look for sitters with a "calendar last updated" notice on their profiles.
Sitters on Rover set their own cancellation policy, which you can find on their profile under their calendar availability.
Cancelling before a booking begins and before the sitter's cutoff time qualifies you for a full refund. Same-day cancellations for walks, day care, and drop-ins follow the full refund policy. Otherwise, for dog boarding and house sitting, you will receive a 50% refund for the first seven days of the booking and a 100% refund for the remaining days when you cancel the same day a booking should begin.
If your sitter needs to cancel within seven days of the booking's start date, then our reservation protection will kick in. This means our support team works with you to find a replacement sitter.
