“Farrah had another fantastic stay at Ian and Clementina’s! They shared numerous updates, photos, and videos during her multi day stay at their apartment, and came back super happy!!”
“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!!”
“Kecia is an incredible dog-sitter! She is highly dependable and friendly. I appreciate how she makes sure to keep me updated on how my dog is doing Highly recommend!”
“This was our second time booking with Grace and definitely won’t be the last! She was very attentive and did a great job communicating with us on a daily basis and sending pictures and videos every day! She took great care of our puppy and made us feel very comfortable!”
“My dog was very happy when I picked him up and dropped him off. He is generally very anxious and an older dog so I am always a little wary leaving him behind but I am glad we found Michael and he had a comfortable stay at Michael's house. Michael and his wife were wonderful and always very responsive and flexible with my last minute changes.”
“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!”
“Kris and Kylie were absolutely incredible with Rue! During her 9 days with them, they made sure she got plenty of exercise with long daily walks and playtime at the park, and even a fun adventure upstate. They treated her to a spa day at the end of her stay, which was such a thoughtful touch. It was obvious how much care, attention, and love they gave her. We can’t recommend them enough and would trust them with Rue again in a heartbeat!”
“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”
“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!”
“Minako took wonderful care of my puppy while I was away. She picked him up and offered to drop him off. He also ate like a king while she prepared (with my permission) home cooked meals. He was living a great life while under Minako care.”
“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.”
“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!”

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!
I have nothing but kind and amazing words to say about Wai Pou and her family. As Miya, my dog, has anxiety at times from meeting new people, Wai Pou, Victor, and the kids made her feel right at home. With around the clock care, she was able to receive so much attention from the family. I have never met such a family that has had great patience and love for my dog since I’ve moved to the city and have always worried about who can provide such quality care and effort for my Velcro pet baby. However, I can confidently say that Wai Pou has the qualities that any pet parent is looking for to provide exceptional skills to watch your pet baby whether it being short or long term. Thank you, again Wai Pou, Victor, and the kids for providing my dog the love and attention while I was away.
Yuliia did a fantastic job taking care of our two small dogs. She was on time and maintained excellent communication throughout. One of our dogs takes heart medication twice a day; Yuliia was diligent in understanding and following our dog's health needs. I was initially hesitant about leaving our dogs for several nights based on Rover reviews—once I observed Yuliia interacting with Sasha & Mika, I felt at ease as she quickly established a good rapport.
This was our first occasion to have Robin take care of Ernie. We were searching for someone in our new neighborhood, and were so lucky to have found her. Robin was very open to a meet/greet and showed us her apartment, as well. which helped us feel confident in our decision to leave Ernie in her care. It was very easy to see how much Robin enjoys taking care of dogs and provides them with loving care. She provided us with numerous updates, including photos, which made us feel relaxed knowing Ernie was in good hands. We highly recommend Robin for anyone looking for a dependable and caring person to care for their pet. We will definitely use Robing for future boarding needs.
Clara was an exceptional sitter for my dog, Bagel! She not only sent me frequent updates to make sure to give me peace of mind but also went out of her way to ask really detailed questions during meet and greet. She was fantastic. I would definitely rebook and highly recommend her!
CinDee watched our dog, Wilson, and we could not have been happier with her care. We were nervous about leaving him, but we were so glad to find someone reliable and trustworthy here in the city. CinDee was very friendly, and Wilson absolutely loved her. We would definitely recommend her to anyone looking for a great dog sitter.

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.
