“Omar was an amazing sitter!! He was so responsive, kind, and Ruffle absolutely loved him. I am so grateful he was available at the last minute and will definitely leave Ruffle with him again soon!”
“Jocelyn’s dedication to her own dog’s well-being and behavior reassured me that she would also take excellent care of my two pups. She went above and beyond to make sure they were comfortable and happy during their play dates. I was grateful for her attentiveness and genuine concern for my dog’s health. Thanks to Jocelyn, I now have a trusted friend who understands the importance of responsible pet ownership and fosters positive relationships between dogs of all breeds. Thank you so much for taking care of my fur babies! I would definitely book Jocelyn again!!! 😊”
“My dog just stayed the night with Noelle and he and I could not be happier. He gets lots of love and attention and I feel totally comfortable with the loving care and security that he is provided - you will too.”
“I have encountered a lot of dog lovers but not like Will! My dog fit in perfectly, and honestly I loved that! I will definitely use Will services again, and even recommend a few of my friends that have dogs. If you looking for a Nanny that is a 10/10 , Will is your person .”
“Maria was awesome! She watched our 2 fur babies for 6 days while we were on vacation. They’ve never been apart from us this long. We had a meet and greet before she watched them, which made us comfortable choosing her to watch them. She sent many pictures everyday and they looked so comfortable with her. She took them for walks and to the dog park to play with other pups. We will definitely use her services again! Thank you Maria!”
“Kiara has a lovely home with a backyard which is a huge plus in my eyes. My dog gets nervous/shy when going to new places and she was really great with him. I definitely plan to return and highly recommend her!”
“We are so appreciative of the wonderful care that Chialing provided our fur baby. It was a last minute booking and she was so accommodating. I really appreciate the fact that she says she will take the puppies for walks and provides photos and videos of them on their walk. She provides a clean, safe, roomy environment for the babies. Her and her partner Ali, who is also a Rover sitter work together and both are professional and friendly. I would definitely recommend.”
“Essence is the best! I know my dogs are in great hands with her. She is always flexible with us, she sends us updates without us having to ask, my dogs are always happy when they leave her place. She is the best and I am so grateful for her. Xoxo thank you Essence.”
“We’re so grateful for the amazing care Sujaya gave our dog, Bosston, over the weekend. They were incredibly attentive, especially when Bosston’s belly wasn’t feeling the best and during the fireworks, which usually make him nervous. She went the extra mile to comfort him and kept us updated the whole time, which gave us so much peace of mind. We could tell Bosston was in loving hands. Highly recommend and would definitely book again!!”
“Banksy was so happy at Juan's home. Juan did a wonderful job taking care of Banksy. He sent us photos of Banksy while we were away. Banksy was in good hands and had a fun time. Thank you Juan!”
“We are definitely happy with Jorge. Our Shi-tzu dog Chico stayed 10 days at his place. Chico had absolutely comfortable and fun time with doggie friends. Jorge sent us pictures, let us know how Chico's doing, and took her for nice walks. We highly appreciate his care and communication.”
“Dana provided wonderful care for Axl, our Brittany spaniel who is full of energy. She sent updates and photos daily, so we knew he was happy and in good hands. She’s experienced, knowledgeable, and her loving care enabled us to enjoy our vacation without worrying about him. Highly recommend Dana and plan to use her for our future vacation coverage needs.”
“This is my second time leaving my doggies with Rafaelina and they are always well taken care of. She updates me regularly and makes me feel at ease when I’m traveling. I highly recommend Rafaelina. She’s the best!”
“Iliana was AMAZING to my Cookies! I received pictures of him and updates while I was away and when I can go pick him up he was freshly bathed and smelled so good! Oh and his bed too! I will definitely be booking with you again! ??”
“Katherine was a godsend when I needed an emergency cat sitter for my little man. She’s accommodating, friendly, and communicative. Also, I appreciated the gentleness she used with my cat, which put my mind at ease while he was boarding. I highly recommend Katherine as a sitter. She’ll definitely be repeat resource for us.”
About: I’m a lifelong dog lover and have grown up around dogs. I personally trained my own dog from the ground up, and he is completely house-trained and well behaved. I’m very comfortable maintaining routines, reinforcing good habits, and making sure each pup feels safe and comfortable in my care. I have a flexible work schedule and spend a lot of time at home, so your dog will get plenty of attention, companionship, playtime, and walks. I love taking long walks with my own dog and would be happy to keep your pup’s usual routine as closely as possible. As an OT, I am very patient, attentive, responsible, and observant of individual needs. I have no children in my home, so it’s a calm environment where I can give your pet my full attention. Most importantly, I genuinely love animals and will treat your dog like family! Get ready to receive tons of pictures! 🐾 I’m currently working on a part time schedule with availability all morning and early afternoons. I work 4x/week about 4 hours each day. I’m available every weekend from Thursday-Sunday. I have my own fur baby to help keep your pup company. I will make sure to keep your dog on a schedule as needed. Long walks are already a part of our daily routine!
“Jaylynn boarded Winston for two days and did a great job at taking care of him. He was returned to us well fed, healthy and happy. She walked him multiple times a day. She returned all of his things clean and organized. I appreciate how receptive she was about concerns, that were raised regarding communication. I would definitely recommend.”
“Sayarlin was an amazing sitter for my dog Storm and my cat Jelly Bean. Not only did she take wonderful care for them by creating a cozy space that feels like home, but she provided reassurance through daily updates while I was away. She is an effective communicator and responds swiftly. The pets loved staying with her, too. I will definitely be keeping her in mind for future boarding!”
“Alyona was terrific with my puppy Bennet. She sent pictures and updates throughout Bennet’s stay and assured me that she was doing well. Alyona was inquisitive about Bennet’s habits and likes and that clearly translated into how she cared for my puppy during her stay. I will absolutely rebook in the future.”

Natalie was absolutely wonderful! She was able to dog sit Duke on very short notice, and I couldn’t have asked for a better experience. She was reliable, caring and attentive. She kept me updated and made sure my dog was happy, comfortable, and well taken care of. Will recommend to anyone:)
Second time having Maria watch Didi, my older dog. Maria is fantastic - based on all of the updates and pictures, it feels more like Didi is on her own vacation and not just being watched. I so appreciate all of the attention and love she brings to her caretaking. She is a true gem!
I can't thank Shaun enough for always stepping in at the last minute to take care of my babies. He's consistently there for us, and I truly trust him more than anyone else. The love and care he shows are genuine, my dogs go absolutely crazy when they see him because they adore him so much. Shaun is our go to, and we’re so grateful to have him in our lives!
William was great with our big puppy Diesel. During Diesel’s one week boarding William made sure to keep us updated and at ease with videos and messages. As a trainer, William also gave us feedback on the areas Diesel could use improvement in his training. We would definitely recommend William as a sitter for your four legged children.
Wilbur seemed happy during his visit with Nikki. Easy arrangement and communication with Nikki - would’ve loved more photos and updates each day - but just happy to see Wilbur was in good shape after the 6 days :) Their dog Scout was super happy to play with Wilbur so it was good companionship at Nikki’s house.
My dog, Roo, had a phenomenal stay with Leticia!! Leticia was very kind and friendly, and had a lovely and cozy home that I felt very comfortable with Roo staying at. Roo is a very finicky chihuahua with high anxiety and is an extreme velcro dog, and she bonded with Leticia without a problem! Roo also tends to go on hunger strikes while I’m away, but to my surprise and delight, she had no problems eating while at Leticia’s! Leticia sent lots of pictures and videos of Roo, which really helped my own anxiety with leaving Roo with a sitter from Rover for the first time. Overall, Roo was happy and healthy and I couldn’t have been more pleased! I would definitely recommend Leticia to anyone!!
Brayhana is the best. I rely on my dog to tell me how a sitter does, and Rosie makes it very clear that she adores her. Rosie gets excited as soon as we turn onto the block and bounds toward the front door. I know she’s is treated with love and care, and I appreciate how Brayhana checks in each day.
Kiara was amazing with our golden retriever Kona. She sent videos and updates every day from their walks and playtime in her large fenced in yard. Kiara’s policy of dog sitting only one at a time ensured he had love and attention. He came back relaxed and happy, not stressed out at all. Kiara herself is warm and friendly, interested in hearing about all your dog’s foibles, and obviously a calming presence to dogs. We are absolutely going to use her again!
We left our doggy again with this lovely family - who now have a baby who is also so sweet with Wilbur. We love them so much and love knowing Wilbur is being taken care. During the heat wave, they made sure to take special care (walking in the morning, ensuring AC is on) as our dog gets super hot outside.
Noelle was a fantastic caretaker for our dog, Dodger. She helped out last minute, watching him for the weekend. He usually gets a little stressed after car rides and being left with strangers but he warmed up easily. Noelle sent great pictures and updates during the weekend and we will definitely be reaching out to her again!
Alyssa was absolutely amazing! From the moment we met, I could tell she genuinely loves animals, and she took care of Peanut and Sprout as if they were her own. She kept me updated with messages and photos, which gave me so much peace of mind while I was away. When I picked them up, they were happy, well cared for, and clearly received so much love and attention. It’s such a relief to find someone I can completely trust with my babies. I truly couldn’t have asked for a better experience. I highly recommend Alyssa to anyone looking for a reliable, caring, and attentive pet sitter. Peanut and Sprout can’t wait to see her again, and neither can I! ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐

Frequently asked questions about Rover
The average cost for Dog Boarding in Mount Vernon on Rover is $66.6 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 13,800 sitters on Rover offering Dog Boarding across Mount Vernon. 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 Mount Vernon 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 Mount Vernon 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 Mount Vernon 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 Mount Vernon.
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 Mount Vernon 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.
