“Sophie was very happy with Vasiliki on her first visit! She sent several pictures and videos early on in the stay which helped me to feel comfortable as well. Communication was clear and rapid. We’ll be back the next time we come to NYC!”
“What a fantastic experience!! I was visiting Brooklyn from Texas. My pup, Xena, stayed with Will and Lauren for 4 nights and it was such a positive experience. My pup fit right in and enjoyed all the consistent walks, cuddles, and attention they gave her. They were always quick to respond, flexible, and obviously true dog lovers. I’m so grateful for them and would definitely recommend them to others. Thanks you two!”
“Loved having Anastasiia watch my cat, Dimsum. She was great with updates and letting me know how our cat was doing during the stay. Thank you again for everything!”
“We felt totally comfortable leaving Archie with David and Marcy for a week while we ran off to get married! We were able to totally relax knowing our little guy was in good hands. They send pictures multiple times a day, are super flexible with pickup and drop-off times, and are overall just the best.”
“Jelfri is amazing! He watched my dog Jack for a week and was perfect. Great communication, and he even went out of his way to get him his exact food when he was running out. Would absolutely recommend”
“George was so amazing to Turbo!! his little dog and Turbo got along very well. He gave me a daily update and took Turbo on nice walks. I really appreciate him working with my flight schedule. I landed very late at night and he stayed up so I can pick up Turbo on my way home so I didn’t have to make a second trip. Highly recommend this sitter!”
“Emerald was lovely and communicative! She sent me lots of photos of my dog and hers playing and hanging out together while I was away, and she was very flexible and understanding regarding arrival and pickup times. Stevie clearly had a wonderful time <3”
“We had an absolutely wonderful experience with Neerav! What stood out the most was his genuine passion, care, and patience, especially with our stubborn little pup when it came to eating. Anyone who has a picky eater knows how challenging that can be, but Neerav went above and beyond to make sure our fur baby was comfortable, cared for, and eating well. His attentiveness, dedication, and affection gave us complete peace of mind. It was clear that he treats the pups in his care with genuine love rather than just seeing it as a job. We couldn’t have asked for a better experience and would wholeheartedly recommend Neerav to anyone looking for someone trustworthy, compassionate, and truly dedicated to their furry family members. We would absolutely love to book with him again!”
“Jodie and her son were absolutely fantastic with my sweet little doggie. When I dropped my doggie off I felt completely confident and comfortable leaving him and knew he would be well taken care of. I received daily updates and pictures from Jodie which was very cute and a nice treat to see his little sweet happy face. I would for sure without a doubt rebook with Jodie.”
“Angela (and her partner Dan) took great care of Truffle. They sent meticulous updates with photos throughout the day. Truffle got to spend plenty of time outside and was very comfortable in their home.”
“Willow had the best time!!! They really were so communicative, and helpful and sent so many pictures and updates it was a relief for me! Willow has special needs and they really made sure she was comfortable and put at ease and I can’t wait to use them in the future!! Thank you!”
“Erica is the best. This was a very last minute booking and everyone was busy. She was the only one who said yes and it felt like it was meant to be. She took care of my dog very well and I will 100% book her in the future. Thank you Erica”
“Tiffany was great with Lou. Lou had a sensitive stomach problems that required some dietary changes and diligence. Tiffany was very diligent, communicative and friendly.”
“Cedric took phenomenal care of my sweet Mila girl while I was away. She is a rescue, and he was so kind and she was so comfortable with him. Will definitely book with Cedric in the future!”
“I left my pop Bernice in the good care of Anne for a long weekend and she had an absolute blast. She was very well cared for and Anne was really great about sending consistent updates and photos. I really appreciate that she already had a crate and that it was easy to drop off and pick up due to the parking area of her building. I will definitely be working with Anne again.”
“I’m so grateful to YoungJi & Eun L. for the incredible care and love they showed our sweet dog. Truly it was like she was having her own vacation. They did all her favorite things, took her to parks, fed her exactly by our instructions and most importantly genuinely cared for her. We got amazing end of day highlights with photos and a description of the day which we looked forward to and enjoyed reading every night. I was worried she wouldn’t want to come home! Would 1000% recommend and trust them with our dog anytime.”
“Rochelle was absolutely amazing! She watched after our boy Ham for two weeks while we were in Europe for our wedding/honeymoon and she kept us updated everyday with pics and messages. Truly gave us peace of mind that our boy was well looked after while we were gone. Would 100% recommend!”
“Kaitlyn and Joshua were wonderful pet sitters! They were kind, thoughtful, and responsive throughout the boarding experience. I would absolutely recommend them to others looking to board their dogs.”

Renzo and his wife were amazing. We had to extend our trip due to flight cancellations and we were at ease knowing our puppy was with them. Renzo sent plenty of pictures during Nube’s stay and you could tell they really were loving our dog so much. This was our first time away from our pup for a week and Renzo and his wife made it so easy.
Ellen was truly fantastic from start to finish! We reached out with a request for weekend boarding on short notice and she was able to accommodate. She asked us questions about our dog to get to know her beforehand and was very quick to respond to correspondences. Ellen sent us updates with photos throughout our dog’s stay and we felt very good that she was well care for. We would definitely use Ellen again!
My dog DuDu stayed with Ziang for over a week, and he clearly had a happy, relaxed, and comfortable time, with plenty of walks, playtime, and affection. Every photo and video Ziang sent made me feel DuDu's happiness and great spirits. Thank you, Ziang, for taking such good care of DuDu and giving me complete peace of mind.
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!
Sarah is exceptionally communicative, very easy to work with, and very clearly both loves dogs and understands them very well. She's now watched my dog on multiple occasions, and this most recent time she really went above and beyond. His stay fell on Halloween and she went out and bought him a costume on her own and took him on lots of adventures that he seemed to love. I was also really impressed with how she handled introducing him to another dog that was staying with her; he can be shy with other dogs but she managed the situation very well, was responsive to his personality, and by the end of the stay he was cuddling with the other dog, which he almost never does. I would highly recommend using Sarah and I definitely plan to work with her again.

The average cost of Dog Boarding in New York is $63 per night as of November 2026. Most bookings cost between $37 and $103 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 of November 2026, there are 14,115 sitters on Rover offering Dog Boarding across New York. Enter your ZIP code to see which available sitters are closest to your home.
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.
Every sitter on Rover has their own routine. Depending on the arrangements you agree on before the stay, a sitter can follow your dog’s regular feeding schedule, provide a comfortable place to sleep, offer companionship, and support their usual exercise and play needs.
94% of sitters in New York can provide daily exercise during dog boarding stays. Depending on the sitter, their home environment, and your dog’s needs, this may include walks, outdoor play, indoor enrichment activities, or supervised play with compatible dogs. These activities are not automatically included with every booking, so ask the sitter what a typical day looks like.
During the Meet & Greet, discuss your dog’s usual exercise and play routine, whether they can safely interact with other dogs, and any activities or restrictions the sitter should follow. You can also ask the sitter to send photo and message updates during the stay so you can see how your dog is spending their time.
Preparing for drop-off is easy when you have a checklist! To help your dog settle into their New York 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 New York.
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.
Yes, you can find sitters who have experience with handling special pet needs in New York. On Rover:
- 85% of sitters can help with special care needs
- 90% can help with giving oral medications or injections
- 94% can help with daily exercise
You can also find pet sitters on Rover who accept only one pet at a time, which is ideal for anxious puppies, kittens, or senior pets who move at a gentler pace. Some sitters will also list availability for 24/7 care, also known as constant care, in their profiles.
Use the search filters to narrow down sitters whose specific experience or environment meets your pet's needs. When reaching out to your sitter, outline your pet's care routine and use the Meet & Greet to walk your sitter through your expectations.
You and your New York 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.
Adding another pup to the pack? Most sitters and walkers offer a reduced rate for additional dogs. You’ll find these exact rates listed under the "Services" tab on any sitter's profile. Since every dog is unique, final pricing may vary depending on the level of care required.
