“Minako and her partner took such wonderful care of our puppy we cannot thank them enough! Minako was extremely responsive and sent us fantastic pictures every day. Our dog came back calm, well-rested and happy and we couldn't be more pleased.”
“Ian and Clementina were great with Tripp, from taking him to the dog park to letting him join all their errands. I really appreciated the prompt communication and daily photo updates — Tripp was comfortable and rolling over for belly rubs almost instantly with them!”
“Jelfri and his family were so wonderful and made sure my dog came home happy and healthy! He needed meds and they were very on top of that and made sure to keep me updated on his health! Would highly recommend and will definitely be using him again !”
“Ayush was wonderful with our dog! He made sure he was comfortable in his house and that he got along with his dogs. Super communicative and sent us plenty of pics! Will definitely book with Ayush again!”
“Sherry and Walter were absolutely amazing! This was the first time we had ever left our cat, Romeo, with anyone, and from the very beginning they made us feel completely at ease knowing our baby was in such good hands. Romeo warmed up to them right away and quickly felt right at home, which was such a huge relief for us. They watched him for 15 days while we were away on our honeymoon and sent us daily updates, which we really appreciated. Romeo is extremely social and loves attention, and Sherry and Walter gave him plenty of love and affection throughout his stay. We are so grateful to have found them and will absolutely be reaching out again the next time we go away. We couldn’t recommend Sherry and Walter more highly to anyone looking for loving, trustworthy care for their fur babies!”
“Sarah was amazing with Daisy! She was so easygoing and incredibly helpful, even coming to pick Daisy up, which made everything so convenient. Throughout the entire stay, she kept me updated with the cutest pictures, and Daisy clearly had a great time. She even sent Daisy home with a little gift, which was such a sweet touch. I would absolutely recommend Sarah and would happily have her watch Daisy again!”
“John was great - Extremely responsive and kept me updated while my dog Ollie stayed with him. I gave so many instructions because Ollie has separation anxiety and John took them all very well. When I got Ollie back he was so calm and relaxed because John took such good care of him!”
“Sanaz was so great for agreeing to watch Roscoe last minute. She sent update photos and messages every day. He also was in such a happy mood when I went to pick him up. Will definitely be requesting her again in the near future.”
“Vasiliki is amazing with Kira. My dog is a bit anxious but she loves Vasiliki and looks forward to staying with her all the time! She is super responsive and sends me frequent updates about Kira during her stay. Vasiliki was very accommodating of accepting Kira for a last minute request as well. Kind and responsible, will continue to have Vasiliki take care of Kira moving forward! 🙂”
“Kira shared pics of Turing, and he seems to have really enjoyed staying at his place. She was also flexible about the pick-up time, which we really appreciate!”
“Kristen was a fabulous sitter! Communication was impeccable, and it was so obvious that my dog felt loved. I appreciated all of the photos too. Would definitely use again and recommend!”
“Meilin is so friendly and took such amazing care of my dog! During the meet and greet I could tell she was very knowledgeable about dogs. During my dog’s stay with her she sent me daily updates and I could tell my dog felt comfortable with her. I highly recommend Meilin and would definitely trust her to watch my dog again.”

“David and his partner were amazing with my Tater :) They know so much about rescue dogs and helped with his anxiety while I was away. This is the longest I’ve been away from Tater and they helped me too by sending lots of pictures and updates on him! Highest of recommendations! Thank you again!!! Such a wonderful experience!”
“I had the absolute best experience with Kylie and Kris! From the moment I dropped Lily off, I felt completely at ease. They were incredibly communicative and sent thoughtful daily updates with photos and little notes about how she was doing, which meant so much to me while I was away. It was clear she was truly pampered – she came home relaxed, happy, and so well looked after, which is the biggest testament to how wonderful they are. You can tell they genuinely love dogs and take their responsibility seriously. I would absolutely book with Kylie and Kris again in a heartbeat. Highly, highly recommend.”

“Morgan is a fantastic sitter! She provided regular updates and photos, which I really appreciated while traveling. Milo ended up had a stomach problem during his stay and Morgan was so diligent and kind about managing his needs and keeping him comfortable. She’s caring, reliable, and clearly loves the dogs she watches. Thank you, Morgan!”
“Kiersten & Casey really are the best sitters!! I am always at ease whenever Nalu stays with them, they do such a great job at always keeping me updated with lots of pictures!”

Dog parents share their Rover experiences - New York
A lovely, easy, worry-free experience having our pup stay with Anne-Charlotte for a week. It was our first time boarding him for this long and with someone new but we felt from the start he was in good hands and we we’re right. Our pup has a lot of energy so he loved playing with her dog Norah nonstop and came back home healthy and happy (if only missing his new pal!). Thank you so much again!!!
Chantal is hands-down one of the best dog sitters we’ve ever had. She has watched our dog, Moose, multiple times, and we could not be more grateful to have found her. Moose absolutely adores her, and she treats him with so much love, patience, and genuine care. Moose has had some health struggles over the years, so leaving him can naturally be stressful, but Chantal gives us peace of mind. She is incredibly attentive to his specific needs and is a wonderful communicator, keeping us updated throughout. We love the daily update photos! Knowing Moose is safe, happy, and so well cared for while we’re away is priceless. We cannot recommend Chantal highly enough!
This was my first time having Michael take care of my dog, and I’m so glad I chose him. I was truly impressed by his quick responses, the daily updates with photos, and his thoughtful and attentive care. I was especially worried because my dog is a senior, but Michael took such wonderful care of her and gave me great peace of mind. I feel incredibly lucky to have found such a wonderful sitter. I would definitely trust him with her again!
Audrey was communicative, caring and patient with my senior dog with cognitive decline. Milo has special medication and care needs which Audrey addressed well. I was worried initially to leave Milo for such a long time and relieved to find out that he was well taken care of. Audrey’s dog is adorable and was not an issue interacting with other dogs. I would recommend Audrey’s services to others.
Victoria is a great dog sitter - she took great care of our dogs while we were away for a trip. She was awesome at sending lots of pictures / updates on our pups, which was greatly appreciated. Would recommend Victoria to anyone looking for a reliable and responsible dog sitter.
An amazing and super accommodating sitter who stepped in amidst last-minute travel chaos with a welcome smile, then totally spoiled our Laika with walks and attention. We managed to escape Brooklyn with peace of mind that she was being well loved. Wouldn't hesitate to use again!
Amanda was great with our dog Pierre! They bonded the instant they met. She boarded him at her place for 10 days. She stayed in continual communication with us during our trip.. with daily updates and cute pics/vids of our little guy. That's honestly the biggest deal for me. :) We knew he was doing amazing the whole time. He loved his little life at her place. She's a genuine person, great pet care giver and I will definitely be working with her again! Thanks Amanda!
Morgan watched my dog Billie for almost 2 weeks. She was easy to communicate with and took great care of my dog! She made sure that Billie got plenty of exercise and had time to socialize with her friends and other dogs. I typically take Billie with me whenever I can so I was happy that Morgan did the same! She’s amazing!

FAQs for Boarding - New York
Frequently asked questions about Rover
The average cost for Dog Boarding in New York on Rover is $62.16 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 14,103 sitters on Rover offering Dog Boarding across New York. 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 New York 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 New York 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 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.
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.
