“Wonderful Pet Sitter! I couldn’t be happier with the care my pet received! The couple was loving, attentive, and responsible. I felt completely comfortable knowing my fur baby was in such good hands. They kept me updated, followed all of my instructions, and treated my pet like her own. I highly recommend them to anyone looking for someone trustworthy and caring to look after their pet! ❤️🐾”
“Christina is so good with my dog. This was the second time Wedge stayed with her, and he was so happy to see her when they met. Wedge really felt like home, which I could easily spot by the lovely pictures Christina sent me over the weekend. I really appreciate her caring for my dog and will definitely continue to hire her services. Thank you, Christina!!”

“Rochelle did a great job boarding our two cats for two weeks while we had some work being done at our house. Her setup is great - she works from home, so they aren't alone most of the day. Professional and accommodating. Clearly loves cats and sent daily pictures. I'd absolutely recommend her services!”

“It was my first time leaving Cotton with a sitter after a couple of years so I was not sure if he will adjust to being in a foreign environment with strangers however after the first update and pictures I could see that Margarita is a friendly and caring sitter and he was at ease. I received frequent updates and pictures as details on how he was behaving. I will highly recommend Margarita & Christian when considering to leave your furry friend they will be in a safe environment and will be well taken care of. Communication from beginning to end was great and I will definitely use their service in the future.”

Pet parents share their Rover experiences - Manhattan
Lillian was great with Rowan! Him and Picasso got along so well, by the end they were best friends! Lillian sent us daily updates with questions and was very responsive. She cared for Rowan and took the time to learn about his habits, preferences, and even nicknames. Whenever we're out of town, now we know whom to leave Rowan with.
I appreciate Darlene so much and the care the provides for my Cashew is exceptional. Anyone with a senior dog knows that it can be quite challenging to meet their changing needs. I can rest easy while away when Cashew is with Darlene; she is an excellent communicator and goes above and beyond to make sure the dogs under her care are happy and healthy. I am so grateful to have found her.
Thank you very much for taking care of our little Idly. Idly had a wonderful time with Shayla. This was our first time boarding Idly but Shayla made it a wonderful experience. He was safely taken care of and Shayla made sure he followed the same schedule he follows at home. He was very happy. We were very glad she gave us updates and kept us posted regularly. Would definitely use her care in the future, no doubt!

The average cost of Pet Boarding in Manhattan is $65 per night as of November 2026. Most bookings cost between $37 and $111 per night. On Rover, sitters set their own rates based on factors such as their experience, the length of care, the number of pets, and your pet’s specific needs. As long as your booking dates and pet profiles are accurate, the price shown before you confirm is the total, including any booking fee.
There are 14,574 sitters on Rover for Pet Boarding in Manhattan. About 88% of Manhattan sitters can respond to requests in under 60 minutes. Whether you’re planning ahead for holidays, need last-minute care, or need same-day coverage for an urgent trip, you can message multiple sitters at once to find available care.
Once you find the right match, you can arrange a Meet & Greet to ensure they are a perfect fit for your pet’s personality before confirming.
If you would like updates while you’re away, you can discuss with your sitter how many or how frequent you’d like those updates to be. The Rover app allows sitters to send photos, videos, and messages about your pet, including how many pee or poop breaks occurred. You can message your sitter at any time through the app and our support team is available 24/7 by email or chat if you have concerns.
The personalized, in-home nature of pet care through Rover can mean more individual attention for your pet.
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 casual meeting to vet potential sitters and communicate care needs for peace of mind before a booking begins. Only sitters who have never booked with you before can schedule a Meet & Greet on Rover; however, you are welcome to coordinate one in Rover messages with sitters you have previously booked. This can be helpful if you have a new pet or routine you want to go over with your sitter.
Meet & Greets can take place in person or virtually. If you are booking with a sitter for the first time, we recommend in-person Meet & Greets to get a clearer sense of how your sitter interacts with your pet 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. Meet & Greets are a great way to prepare your pet and sitter for longer stays or first-time bookings. Read our tips for your first Meet & Greet.
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. Cats may be required to have Feline Viral Rhinotracheitis and Rabies up to date.
By discussing your pet's health history early, you’re adding a layer of confidence for you and your sitter before the booking begins.
Emergency support is available by phone or email in English 24/7. When an incident occurs, we recommend that sitters contact our Trust & Safety team immediately so that they can connect your sitter with a board-certified veterinarian or offer other resources to help.
If a sitter needs to cancel at the last minute, Rover’s reservation protection means our team will work with you to find a suitable replacement as quickly as possible.
