“Merin was AMAZING!! I really felt Moose was being well taken care of and left me with such peace of mind while on vacation. She was super thorough, gave constant updates, and reached out with any questions/concerns. Hands down we found our go to sitter which is the best feeling knowing I have someone to trust to take care of Moose when I need a little R&R! Thank you!!”
“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!”
“Kecia is by far the best sitter I have worked with from Rover! She is super attentive and I left for my trip with not a doubt that my pups would be in good hands. She is exceptionally communicative and treated my pups with love and care. I will definitely book with her again!”
“Sabrina took wonderful care of my dog. I had to book the boarding last minite, but Sabrina was very accommodating. She responded to my messages quickly and also kept sending me photos of how my dog was doing which gave me peace of mind. When I was picking him up, Sabrina explained in detail how he ate, slept, walked and behaved during the stay. This proved to me that Sabrina paid a lot of attention to my dog. Most dog sitters in my experience didn't share this much detail. I highly recommend Sabrina!”
“Second time using Teraesa and I must say…her consistency will keep me coming back. Her amazing communication, constant checking in and willingness to go above and beyond says it all for me. She is a “super host” as far as Jazzy and I are concerned. My dog always comes home happier than when I left her and that says alot. Thank you Teraesa…you are officially and forever my dog-sitter!”
“I just left my 2 y/o Yorkie boy for a couple of hours as an introductory experience, and he was fine. Apparently had no problems with the other dogs there. Michael and his wife were very responsive and accommodating. I plan to use them again for an over night stay unless I find someone closer to me, and I recommend them.”
“Kylie and Kris are the best! My dog, Kimber, is a sweet but dog-reactive little guy. He’s stayed with Kylie and Kris twice now, most recently for 2 weeks. They’re amazing with Kimber, and he always comes home happy. They gave him lots of cuddles and play time. They also helped Kimber with his fear of other dogs by spending time outside on a park bench together. My partner and I really appreciate the daily photo and text updates and how responsive Kylie and Kris are. So glad we found them on Rover. We’ve already booked with them again for next month!”
“Minako and Yoshi are very reliable and dependable. They took great care of my dog, Bridget. They picked her up from my apartment (a big help!) and sent me pictures of Bridget while I was away. They were very responsive in communicating with me and flexible in making arrangements. We had a wonderful experience with them.”
“First time booking on Rover. Elaine is very accommodating and I was able to book her on short notice. I have a six month old pug puppy who is very energetic and just got a neuter surgery, and she was able to accommodate his needs and care for him. She sent photos while I was away, mainly of him napping so I know he was tired out. She provided feedback on his pulling behaviors on walks and suggested different types of harnesses. I will definitely book her again, and thank you, Elaine!”
“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!”
“Anky watched Penny while we were away for a long weekend and she was extremely communicative and reliable, sharing lots of pictures and updates! We will definitely book with her again!”
“Gio and Starry were absolutely incredible! This was our first time using Rover and they made the entire experience feel so easy, comfortable, and reassuring. They sent so many photos and thoughtful updates, which meant the world to me. I could truly see how loved and cared for Phoenix was the whole time.”
“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 !”
“We booked with Sanaz for a long weekend and Ivy adored her! She sent us daily updates and took Ivy on lots of walks. Ivy gets very anxious when we go anywhere without her, and Sanaz was very understanding of her separation anxiety and made her as comfortable as possible. She also was flexible with timing of drop offs and pick ups which was much appreciated!! Thank you so much! (:”
“This is the second time we leave our cat Luna to Sherry and Walter and as always they took such good care of her , provided frequent updates and made amazing studio level photos We will definitely have them babysit Luna again soon Thanks again”
“The absolute best sitters - thank you both for always caring for Nalu like your own and always taking the time to truly understand and accept her LOL”
“John was the perfect choice to watch my sweet Barney while I was on a vacation. He is a true dog lover and treated Barney as his own. I will definitely be leaving my pup in his care when i travel in the future. So Thankful to have found John!”
“My dog Coconut can be a little particular and shy, so I usually feel nervous leaving her with someone new. Jennifer was perfect. She took the time to meet us beforehand, asked thoughtful questions, and really wanted to understand Coconut’s needs and temperament. She was so communicative and attentive throughout, which made me feel completely at ease. I could tell Coconut felt comfortable and cared for. I am so grateful and will definitely be booking with Jennifer again!”
“Shishi and her husband were amazing! They really took the time to check in and send updates and photos through out the stay. You can tell they really love dogs! I knew my pup was in good hands and being well taken care of while I was away which made me feel so much more at ease.”

Mihika is an awesome pupsitter. Super communicative, sent lots of photos and updates and my pup had the best time with her. She administered medications easily and checked in with questions, as needed. Would def recommend and use Mihikas services again. Thank you!
Anne-Charlotte was an amazing dog sitter! She was super responsive and made drop off really easy. She took Hark on tons of walks, gave him lots of attention and cuddles at home, and sent us so many wonderful updates. I felt great knowing our dog was in her care while we were gone. Thank you!!!
Wonderfully competent, communicative, sensitive, and lovely boarder. Cari went beyond all expectations during a particularly urgent and difficult time. Took fabulous and kind care of Chewy overnight in her home. Highly recommend Cari to fellow New York City pup parents. 100%
I felt so at ease leaving my dog with Victoria while I was away for the weekend, and more importantly I think my dog felt at ease too! She provided me with lots of updates and photos each day, and reassured me she was spending plenty of time with her doing actitvities. Victoria is kind and responsible, exactly the type of person you want as a dog sitter!
If I could give 10 stars, I would! Yulia is responsible, communicative, professional and caring. My dog is like a child to me but I was truly able to relax and trust her when he was under her care. Tons of photos and videos that reassured me of their days together, she honored the request for stairs for the bed (dachshunds and their backs!) and she even told me when they were saying goodnight! Already planning the next trip and will be booking her for sure!!!!
I can't say enough good things about Kevin! He took care of our dog Kona for over a week, the longest we had ever ben away. We were concerned about the heat wave and Kevin was very responsive to our concerns and immediately put us at ease. He provided little reports on walks, food, and activities at the end of each day, together with plenty of photos and videos, so we were in the loop on what was going on. Kevin was obviously paying attention to Kona and she got plenty of scratches, belly rubs, and playtime. It was very cute to see how Kona became more and more comfortable and playful each day and was clearly doing well. Communication was great, and pickup and drop off were completely seamless. Kevin did a fantastic job and was such a pleasure to interact with. We will definitely reach out to Kevin again if we need help with dog sitting, and are so appreciative of the great care he provided for Kona.
Jiayi did an excellent job of looking after my dog. She was very clear in communication, and made sure that she knew everything she’d need to know to make sure he had a great time. Included making sure any extra treats were okay for him to have. She also let me know when she felt something on his skin I had noticed yet, so also very attentive to details about the dogs under her care and shows her care for dogs. I got plenty of photos of him and he looked like he was very comfortable and happy. Highly recommend!
Chandni and Isaac were diligent, trustworthy, and caring sitters for my pup, Mabel. Chandni and Isaac were very mindful to follow all of my care instructions, and ensured that Mabel felt right at home during her stay. They provided photo updates, and were flexible on our drop off time. Mabel was very happy when we picked her up, and clearly had a great time staying with them. We would highly recommend them and look forward to booking with them again! Thank you again, Chandni and Isaac!

FAQs for Dog Boarding - New York
Frequently asked questions about Rover
The average cost for Dog Boarding in New York on Rover is $61.99 per night (as of July 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 July 2026, there are 14,128 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.
