“Blondie had a blast with Linyan at daycare today! Highly recommend her for any pet sitting needs! She sent a bunch of photos and videos of Blondie having the best time with her pup and was super communicative!”
“Mariliz is absolutely amazing! From the moment I met her, I knew my dogs were in great hands. She made the entire processs easy, from drop off to pick up, and gave me complete peace of mind while I was away. What really sets Mariliz apart is her communication. She provided regular updates, photos, and messages, which allowed me to relax knowing my dogs were happy, safe, and well cared for. It’s clear she genuinely loves animals and treats them like her own. Finding someone you trust with your pets is priceless, and I couldn’t recommend Mariliz more highly. If you’re looking for a reliable, caring, and professional dog sitter, look no further. Your fur babies will be in the best hands possible! Thank you, Mariliz, for taking such wonderful care of my dogs. I will be using your services again and recommending you to others.”

About: We’ve both grown up with pets in the family, and once we moved to the city, we both started pet sitting and walking for our neighbors. We have experience with senior pets, administering medication, and special need pets. Your baby is safe with us! We both work hybrid in the city, making it easy for us to adjust our schedule to fit your pet’s needs. Whether it’s both of us or just one, we can assure you your baby will be accompanied at all times! Whatever you need from us for your pets, you got it! If you need us to crate your dog, leave and pick up keys with a doorman, turn heaters on/off, etc. for your fur baby, nothing is too big of an ask. We’ll always share lots of pics too for you to feel comfortable!
“Chloe is amazing. She watched Fritz and I could tell from photos that he was having the best time ever. The second time she watched him, he started dragging me to her place when he knew where he was going. Always a great feeling. Can’t recommend her enough.”
“Thankful to Antoinette for caring for my anxious puppy. I was a little worried about how my dog would do since it was our first experience with a Rover sitter but Antoinette was great. She was very kind and reassuring and was quick to respond to any messages. Would recommend.”
“Yirui took such great care of my pup Naomi. Yirui asked detailed questions to ensure that she provided continuity and routine for Naomi, while also giving her a comfortable space to have fun and feel at home. She sent updates and pics throughout the day that made me feel at ease. The best part is that Naomi has made a new friend with Yirui’s pup Julie!”

“We had a great experience with Bethany! She was very responsible, responsive, and flexible throughout the process. We did a meet-and-greet beforehand, which made us feel very comfortable. During daycare, she kept us updated with messages, photos, and videos, and always responded very quickly. She was also accommodating when we needed to adjust the original timing. She clearly cares about the dogs she watches, and we would definitely book with her again!”

About: I offer a boutique, limited-client approach to pet care focused on attention, consistency, and trust. I intentionally keep my client list small so each pet receives individualized care and a calm, safe experience. I have experience caring for dogs, cats, and small animals, and I pay close attention to each animal’s comfort, behavior, and routine. I’m comfortable supporting puppies who need structure and consistency, as well as senior pets who may need a slower pace, patience, medication support, or extra attentiveness. What sets me apart is a combination of hands-on animal care, strong communication, and a thoughtful, observant approach. I hold a Master’s degree in psychology, which informs how I read behavior, respond calmly, and build trust with both animals and people. I’m also a professional photographer, which gives me a flexible schedule and allows me to offer attentive, personalized care. I love photographing pets and people, and I enjoy sharing thoughtful photo updates during walks or stays so owners feel connected and reassured. I provide dog walking, pet sitting, and overnights with safety, reliability, and clear communication as priorities. My goal is to provide dependable, personalized care so pets feel comfortable and owners feel at ease. Please note: I have a young child in the home, so it’s important that owners disclose any history of aggression toward people or other dogs, bites within the past 2 years, or behavior concerns such as destructive chewing or indoor spraying/marking. This is rarely an issue, but if a pet damages furniture due to chewing, spraying, or similar behavior, the owner will be responsible for replacement costs. Pets in my care are allowed on furniture, and I’m unable to offer boarding or daycare in my home for dogs that spray/mark indoors. Pet care fits naturally into my weekly routine alongside my work as a professional photographer, which gives me a flexible schedule for walks, drop ins, and overnight care. I intentionally keep a limited client list so I can provide dependable, personalized attention and maintain consistency for the pets in my care. I am available for weekday, evening, and weekend care, including holiday bookings. I prioritize safety, consistency, and a calm environment while respecting each pet’s routine and comfort level. In a client’s home, I follow feeding, walking, medication, and household instructions carefully, keep doors and leashes secure, and pay close attention to behavior and wellbeing. I maintain a clean, low stress environment, provide thoughtful supervision, and communicate clearly with photo updates and check ins so owners feel informed and reassured.
About: I’ve grown up with animals my entire life primarily cats and my family at home now has 3. I’m very understanding of cat behavior and am experienced in how to care for them. I’ve gained experience in dog care with taking care of friends pets over the years and more recently, with the 2+ years on rover. I’m comfortable with small to large dogs. I recently finished fostering a male cat from the ACC shelter and it was my greatest joy! Id love to help in anyway I can take care of your fur babies! I work from the office Tues/Wed and remote the other days, I’m available anytime on weekends. I’d be more than happy to work with your schedule so don’t hesitate to reach out if you have any timing requests, I would just need to plan ahead of time. I have a spacious one bed apartment, with a large rooftop. I’m blocks away from tompkins sq park and the east river. I can bring any necessary supplies your pet may need in the event you run out while your away. I’ll always keep constant communication with you and make sure the process goes as smoothly as possible.

Lauren did an amazing job taking care of my dog! She was friendly, attentive, and clearly cared about making sure my dog was happy and comfortable! I felt completely at ease knowing my dog was with her. I wouldn't hesitate to book Lauren again and highly recommend her to anyone looking for a dependable and caring dog sitter!
Amy watched our 3.5-month-old puppy on very short notice, and we were so grateful she could step in. She took the time to learn our puppy's routine and what she loves, and kept us updated with photos and videos the whole time. It was obvious when we picked her up that she'd been happy, safe, and well cared for. We couldn't have asked for better. Highly recommend!
Sonia was accommodating and ensured that Ezra received a lot of outside walks and off-leash playtime. She also gave treats and a meal if the pickup time was beyond Ezra’s typical dinner time. Her dog played well with my dog and provided a lot of healthy social activity. Thanks!
Jackie makes it clear from the very beginning that she understands how much trust it takes to hand over your new puppy. She immediately puts you at ease, taking the time to ensure you're comfortable and showing genuine thoughtfulness in meeting every one of your dog's needs. Jalen was still a young puppy adjusting to a new environment, yet he warmed up to Jackie almost instantaneously. Knowing he was in such caring, capable hands gave me complete confidence and peace of mind.

FAQs for Doggy Day Care - New York
Frequently asked questions about Rover
The average cost for Doggy Day Care in New York on Rover is $44.4 per day (as of July 2026). However, all sitters set their own rates based on experience, location, and availability.
Rover makes budgeting the cost of Doggy Day Care 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 Doggy Day Care. For more information on service fees, click here .
As of July 2026, there are 11,485 sitters on Rover offering Doggy Day Care across New York. Enter your ZIP code to see which available sitters are closest to your home.
Sitters on Rover can offer flexible scheduling, so you can coordinate times that work best for you and your pet—whether that’s early drop-off or later pick-up to match your New York commute.
If your schedule changes, it’s best to let your sitter know through the app as early as possible. Many sitters can adjust pick-up and drop-off times when needed.
Think of doggy day care as your dog’s fun, supervised play date that happens to fit into your workday. Day care through Rover takes place in a real home. This offers a calmer and more personalized environment for your pup.
A typical day can include companionship, one-on-one attention, and same day pick-up and drop-off. Many sitters can also offer structured routines and exercise throughout the day. For recurring, weekly day care, sitters will include photo updates so you can see your dog in their element.
Here are tips for finding the ideal day care fit for your dog:
- For some small dogs: In-home day care can be the perfect fit. Look for sitters whose "can host" section only lists dogs weighing 0–7 kilograms and/or 7–18 kilograms. During your Meet & Greet, ask about play areas based on dog size and energy level.
- For high-energy dogs: The ideal doggy day care can offer scheduled breaks and outdoor spaces or activities. You can also find sitters who host multiple dogs to satisfy your pup’s socializing needs.
- For dogs who prefer human-only companionship: Use the filters "Doesn't own a dog" and "Only accepts one pet at a time" to find the right care.
Play groups can be an option when you book with a day care sitter through Rover. Many sitters do host a small number of dogs at the same time. Smaller dog packs are generally safer, more fun, and ideal for dogs who enjoy playtime but also want to relax throughout the day. When looking for your dog’s pack, check the sitter’s profile to see if they "Accept multiple clients" or have their own dogs. Then during the Meet & Greet, you can see whether your dog is a good fit for their social circle!
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.
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 .
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.
A Meet & Greet is a short introductory meeting between you, your dog, and a sitter. It can take place in person or virtually, although we recommend in-person so that your pet can get to know your sitter or the new environment. During the Meet & Greet, you will have a chance to walk through your pet's routine, medical needs, and unique quirks. Take the time to ask your sitter questions about their skills and expertise, and make sure the fit feels right for everyone. Most pet parents and sitters on Rover welcome Meet & Greets because the process can give confidence and peace of mind for service experiences, especially for longer stays or first-time bookings.
Yes, Rover is well-suited for finding sitters who can care for your pet within 24 hours. With 11,485 sitters in New York, 87% respond to messages in under an hour.
You can message multiple sitters simultaneously to find the fastest available match. If you need care today or tomorrow, you can look for sitters with a "calendar last updated" notice on their profiles.
Sitters on Rover set their own cancellation policy, which you can find on their profile under their calendar availability.
Cancelling before a booking begins and before the sitter's cutoff time qualifies you for a full refund. Same-day cancellations for walks, day care, and drop-ins follow the full refund policy. Otherwise, for dog boarding and house sitting, you will receive a 50% refund for the first seven days of the booking and a 100% refund for the remaining days when you cancel the same day a booking should begin.
If your sitter needs to cancel within seven days of the booking's start date, then our reservation protection will kick in. This means our support team works with you to find a replacement sitter.
