“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!”
“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!”
“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!”
“John went above and beyond for me and my dog, Andie! Great communication, flexible, and thoughtful throughout her stay. She was so genuinely loved and cared for by John and his family. He even gave her a bath and blow dry. The love is real! I felt completely at ease knowing Andie was in such great hands. I will absolutely be booking with John again. Highest recommendation! ❤️🐾”
“Jelfri has become my go to when it comes to pet sitters for my dog when I’m out of town. He takes awesome care of Meatball and is always super responsive. Couldn’t recommend more!”
“Wonderful Pet Sitter! I couldn’t be happier with the care my pet received! The couple was loving, attentive, and responsible. I felt completely comfortable knowing my fur baby was in such good hands. They kept me updated, followed all of my instructions, and treated my pet like her own. I highly recommend them to anyone looking for someone trustworthy and caring to look after their pet! ❤️🐾”
“We had a wonderful experience boarding our puppy with Ayush. From the start, communication was excellent, and we felt completely at ease leaving our puppy in his care. He provided regular updates, photos, and videos, which gave us peace of mind while we were away. Our puppy came home happy, healthy, and clearly well cared for. It was obvious that Ayush genuinely enjoys spending time with dogs and treated our puppy like part of the family. We especially appreciated our puppy having new friends to play with (Ayush’s dogs). We would absolutely book with Ayush again and highly recommend him to anyone looking for a reliable, caring, and trustworthy person to board with.”
“Grace was a wonderful caretaker to Suki! Suki seemed very happy and comfortable with her. Grace was super communicative and I would love for Suki to stay with her again.”
“Geethanjali took amazing care of Willow, including taking her to the park, giving her treats (she asked in advance if that was okay), and giving her lots of attention. She sent pictures each day and Willow seemed calm and happy when I picked her up.”
“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.”
“Rosanna was an amazing host for my dog Tigger! Tigger can be anxious, but Rosanna went above and beyond to make sure he was comfortable and happy for the three nights he stayed with her. I got lots of updates and pictures and returned to a happy and relaxed pup! Would definitely choose Rosanna again!!”
“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!”
“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.”
“John was great! Remi’s first time in the city and she did well. She had her own little adventure while we were tourists for the day. John was attentive and responded quickly to messages. Remi had a great time with John.”
“Paige took such great care of our pups, Trooper and Leia! She sent regular updates and they came back healthy, happy, and clean. She even sent them home with a toy that they enjoyed while staying with her. We recommend Paige to any pet parent!”
“Reka is an amazing sitter. Her attention to care is unmatched. She made Saint feel like part of her family. She’s very responsive and sends daily updates and photos. I would recommend her to anyone wanting their pup to receive the same level of care and love that an owner would give their own. She’s the best!”
“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!!”
“Bridget is an excellent dog sitter. Our pyredoodle is a bundle of separation anxiety, for us and him. Bridget sent frequent updates and pictures showing how well he was doing and allaying our concerns. Highly recommended.”
“Ellana is always so great watching our french bulldog, Sully. Sully arguably leaves his visits with Ellana happier than when we drop him off!”

Dog parents share their Rover experiences - New York
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.
