“Angie was amazing. Asked really good questions beforehand and provided such a warm and welcoming stay for willow. She took her on long walks and sent me cute pictures. I’ve already rebooked!”
“Grace was absolutely wonderful with my pup! She took such great care of him and made sure I felt at ease while I was away. I really appreciated the regular updates and adorable pictures she sent—they always brought a smile to my face. It was clear that my dog was happy, well cared for, and getting lots of love and attention. I wouldn’t hesitate to book with Grace again!”
“This was Oscar’s second stay with Heather. We feel so comfortable knowing that he is in her care while we are away. She keeps us updated with pictures and messages. He received so much affection and had plenty of exercise. We are so grateful that Oscar had a home away from home while we were gone. Highly recommend her :)”
“Sanaz was great with my dog Whitney! She was super flexible and communicative while I was away. I had no doubt that my pup was in great care the whole time. Will definitely be using her services again!”
“Vasiliki took special care of my skittish and anxious dog, and by the second day, she was very comfortable around her. She sent updates every day and was very communicative. Would highly recommend booking her!”
“Kathy was super communicative, extremely thoughtful, and very accommodating and was terrific experience for myself, a first-time boarder with Rover. Even when some unforeseen issues arose with our return flights, Kathy went above and beyond expectations making sure Rory was taken care of. We would definitely think of her first and foremost going forward, and we're sure Rory would echo our sentiments!”
“Tallin was a truly wonderful dogsitter! I've left my dog with very few sitters before, so I was a bit anxious about leaving him with a stranger, but Tallin put me right at ease with twice-daily updates and lots of photos. I will absolutely try to book with her again next time I need a sitter!”
“Reka was amazing with Louis! She was patient and calm when we had accidents and was extremely responsible. Her family also seems lovely! Great environment for any pet. Highly recommend.”
“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!”
“Ayush was very attentive and sweet! My dog absolutely loved being with him and was comfortable from the first moment they met. Would definitely rebook and recommend!”
“Vivian was so great!! She sent lots of text updates and pictures and I felt so much ease while traveling knowing that Ro was being so well cared for. Would 100% recommend for anyone looking for a sitter !!”
“This was Pilot’s first stay with Patrice in the colder weather and she graciously dressed him up in her own dog’s sweaters to keep him warm and cozy. Thank you for always taking the best care of my boy!”
“Anne is the best pet sitter for our 14-year old grumpy little terrier we could wish for. She is patient and kind, reliably administers his meds and gives reassuring updates several times a day. We can’t recommend her highly enough.”
“We were visiting New York City for just one night and needed a place for our dog because our hotel was not dog friendly. We found Adam on Rover. He has great availability, is super responsive by text, and all went smoothly. We will definitely board with him if we bring our dog to New York City again.”
“Eva is reliable and communicative and Merritt likes her. He gets lots of walks and one on one attention with her. She puts our minds at ease when we must travel without our beloved Merritt.”
“Alice and Ethan were amazing with my dog Sully! They took so many pictures and I can see how much attention he was getting! He got to go all over with them and explore new neighborhoods which he loves to do. I will definitely be using them again in the future!”
“Sam was absolutely amazing with our 1.4 year old English Bulldog Melon this holiday weekend. She stayed in our place so our dog would be comfortable and she was such a great sitter. Melon clearly loves her and she was very thoughtful sending us texts and pictures / videos of our pup throughout the weekend. We highly recommend Sam - she is awesome!”
“Regina is absolutely amazing. I knew she was wonderful right from our meet and greet. She met my adult dog Otto and my foster puppy Lula. Lula stayed with Regina for over a week and she was so accommodating and helpful. Lula was growing so much and destroyed all her toys so Regina even bought her a harness and some toys! She was worried Lula would be sad because she got so attached to her that she even walked her over to me so that Lula would see Otto in hopes that that would cheer her up! I now use her for walks when I'm in the office and stays if needed! Regina is wonderful and Lula loved her so much 🥹”
“Emerald was amazing with my Benji! I could tell that he really enjoyed spending time with her and I will definitely book again. I also loved that she kept me involved with Benji and what he was doing throughout the day. 10/10”
“Euitae is fantastic. He took such great care of our Boston boy Bruce. Lots of pictures and updates. We know Bruce felt right at home because he ate all his food when away from home! Highly recommend. Thank you, Euitae!”

Marshay was fabulous! Before I booked, she met up with me at the nearby park and then allowed me to bring him to her apartment to confirm that he and they would be comfortable. She kept me updated with pictures daily and when I went to pick up my dog, he didn’t even come to me at first because he felt at home at her place. Will definitely be using Marshay again for future stays!! 😊
I was initially very nervous about leaving Enzo with a pet sitter, but seeing the daily updates gave me so much peace of mind! 💗 Annie took such wonderful care of Enzo, and it honestly felt like a little vacation for him! 🐾💕 I could tell he was happy, comfortable, and well-loved throughout his stay. Annie will definitely be my go-to pet sitter from now on. I couldn’t recommend her enough! 🥰
Emma was amazinggggg. She had no problems taking care of Mipha even with Mipha’s dog-reactivity. She gave so many updates & pictures throughout her stay and I knew Mipha was in good hands when I saw how cuddly Mipha was with Emma 🥹 I would love to have Mipha stay with Emma again 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.
Stephanie was great! Super responsive and accommodating, from setting up the meet and greet to keeping us updated and being flexible with pickup. She took great care of Marshmallow and sent plenty of photos without us even having to ask. We'd definitely book with her again.
Claire is the best sitter we’ve ever had! Poppy always knows when we are close by to where Claire is and tries to drag us over, because of how much she enjoys staying with her. Claire has brought so much joy into Poppy’s life - bringing her to the annual Halloween dog show, shopping, Central Park, Madison square park, and countless other excursions. Thank you for taking such good care of Poppy!
Paulette took care of my dog, Wilson, for the first time, and it was a fantastic experience. Prior to the stay, we met so she could ask valuable questions about his care and gather emergency contacts. During our trip, Paulette was highly communicative, sending regular updates and photos, which reassured us that Wilson was doing well. She maintained his routine and ensured he was comfortable. We were very pleased with her attention to detail and would highly recommend her as a sitter. We would definitely book with Paulette again. Thank you for taking great care of Wilson!
Just the absolute best!! They took such great care of our Sheru and we are so blessed to have met such a wonderful family to keep him with when we go on holiday. The daily pictures and updates make you truly feel at ease knowing your pup is in good hands when you’re away. Would (and already have) rebooked with them and I know Sheru will be so excited to go back to his holiday club!! :)
We had a wonderful experience leaving Ozzy in Junadi and Tina’s care! They were both incredibly attentive and caring, followed all the instructions we provided, and sent us daily photos and updates, which gave us great peace of mind while we were away. It was clear that Ozzy was well cared for and received lots of love and attention. We’re so grateful to Junadi and Tina and highly recommend them! We would absolutely trust them with Ozzy again!
Kevin did an exceptional job watching Lamisu!! he played with her throughout the day and fed her twice and of course he gave her a few treats for good behavior!! Lammie always has the extra bonus of playing with Lottie, who is a very warm and loving and playful dog who enjoys interacting with other dogs. I always know she is in good hands with Kevin and that she will enjoy multiple walks and fun times at the local parks. I would highly recommend him to anyone looking for what feels like your own home care for your dog!!
Paige was excellent with Batman - she sent daily photos, communicated well, and Batman looks happy and healthy after his stay. She also genuinely loves and understands Dachshunds which was a big plus for us and she was able to accommodate him in her home with minimal steps to protect his back ☺️

FAQs for Dog Boarding - New York
Frequently asked questions about Rover
The average cost of Dog Boarding in New York is $62 per night as of October 2026. Most bookings cost between $37 and $102 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.
As of October 2026, there are 14,085 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 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, 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 , 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 .
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.
