About: I’ve been a dog lover and owner my entire life, growing up in a family where dogs were truly considered part of the family. Caring for pups has always been second nature to me, from daily walks and playtime to feeding, cuddles and everything in between. My parents currently have two dogs (my dogs too, they just don’t live with me full time). Billy, a 3 year old mini bichon poodle, and Pixie, a 3.5 year old mini schnauzer poodle, who I’ve helped care for regularly and absolutely adore. Additionally, my best friend and past roommate got a puppy while living together. Tilly, a mini bernedoodle who is now almost 2! I spent a lot of time helping train and watching Tilly (she loves her auntie). My boyfriend and I recently relocated to New York from Chicago, and while we’re settling into our new city, we’re definitely missing having dogs around every day. We’re excited for the opportunity to spend time with some amazing pups, explore the city on walks, take them to our dog run in our building, and bring even more love and energy into our new place. Your dog will be treated with the same care, attention, and affection we’d give our own pets! I work in media and am in the office 2–3 times a week, but I otherwise have a very flexible work-from-home schedule. My boyfriend, Ryan, is currently a student at NYC dental school, so between the two of us, we have schedules that are very conducive to spending quality time at home with your dog. We’re both excited to have pups around as we settle into New York, and we’ll make sure your dog gets plenty of attention, walks, playtime, and love throughout the day! While we do not have a yard, we love to go on walks. Either long walks to explore the city or just a quick stroll to get some fresh air! We can be adaptable for whatever your dog needs, weather that be spending time in their crate or chillin with us on the couch.
“Grace was an incredible sitter for Cricket, making her super comfortable and settling her in quickly. Grace provided regular updates and photos. Cricket is looking forward to her next stay!”
About: I grew up with two dogs back in California and would love to care for yours as if they were my own. I do well with puppies to senior dogs. I am available during the week and happy to stop in whenever needed! I am job hunting now and looking to fill my time. Message me! I know my way through the neighborhood and understand how to keep the dogs safe and comfortable. I have experience with lock boxes and entering through doorman apartments.
“Sarah did a wonderful job with Aubrey - it's so clear she's a huge dog person and treats her pets like family. She's very responsive and always willing to go the extra mile - when my flight was cancelled last minute, she was able to arrange an exchange with just a few hours notice to watch Aubrey that night!”
“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! (:”
“We felt totally comfortable leaving Archie with David and Marcy for a week while we ran off to get married! We were able to totally relax knowing our little guy was in good hands. They send pictures multiple times a day, are super flexible with pickup and drop-off times, and are overall just the best.”
“Marika did an awesome job watching Duke! We booked 2 weeks in a row, and Duke was clearly happy to see her the second week. She’s very communicative and easy to work with! We’ll be back!”
“Jenny was great with our dig, Riley. She asked lots of smart questions to be sure Riley was getting the best care and staying on his routine. She sent photos and was very accommodating when out flight delay resulted in a later than expected pick up. I highly recommend Jenny and will certainly call on her again.”
“Wai and her family were so caring, responsive, and kind. They sent so many cute photos and took him on many adventures around the neighborhood. I highly recommend her family as sitters for your pet and wouldn’t think twice about booking again!”
“Qing took care of my two poms for a weeks and she was the best. She kept me inform about how their were doing, she sent me pictures and videos every single day during their daily walks. She went above and beyond on making sure they had a great time with her and kept me informed during their entire time. Thank you!!”
“Megan is great! She’s flexible, communicative, and really friendly. I could genuinely tell my pup loved spending time with her, and he was well taken care of. 10/10 would book with her again!”
“Ivan was wonderful and caring with my dog Petey! He was patient and really cared for him until he finally warmed up to him. He sent me videos and kept me updated daily with how Petey was doing and I appreciated that. In the end they became best friends! So grateful for Ivan and will definitely book with him in the future.”
“Awesome dog sitter! Sent me pictures and gave me updates everyday. I’m not sure my dog even wanted to come home after staying with them. Will definitely use them again.”
“Sherry and Walter looked after our little puppy Figo for a night, and were fantastic sitters! They played with him, made him feel very comfortable with lots of snuggles, took him on a lovely walk and sent us lots of updates throughout. We’d recommend them highly!”
“Jocelyn is so great with my dog. She also goes above and beyond to come pick him up for me and drop him off when I am home. He slept for 2 days after all the play time he got while staying at Jocelyn's house. I'll be a repeat customer for sure. Thanks for everything Jocelyn!”
“Excellent! Sean took great care of Dita!. Very easy to coordinate with and we received daily updates with pictures, which definitely gave us peace of mind while away on our trip. Definitely recommend!”

“Kendall was absolutely amazing! We rarely leave Sophie with anyone else, and it was clear from reading Sophie's body language from all the photos Kendall sent us over the stay - that Sophie immediately felt comfortable. Thank you Kendall for letting us be worry-free, Sophie can't wait to come back!”

Pet parents share their Rover experiences - New York
My baby stayed with Nikita for 3 days, and I couldn’t have asked for a better experience. She was incredibly communicative, responded promptly to every message, answered all of my questions, and kept me updated with lots of adorable photos throughout the stay. Knowing he was in such loving and capable hands gave me complete peace of mind while I was away, I highly recommend Nikita to anyone looking for a trustworthy and caring pet sitter.
One of the best rovers we’ve ever used! They were incredibly communicative, and we loved receiving so many photos every day. It gave us great peace of mind knowing our pets were happy and well cared for while we were away. We will absolutely be using them again and highly recommend them!
She did a great job taking care of our cat for a month! She sent lots of pictures and gave him lots of love. He's a very needy cat and needs lots of attention. He came back very relaxed and with no behavioral issues. (With a different sitter he came back visibly stressed and upset after only a week). 10/10 experience truly made us feel at ease.
Andrea and her partner are wonderful dog sitters! I could tell from every image sent that my velcro dog was having the time of his life. She is very communicative, flexible, and great about sending updates/pics. Our flight back to the city was cancelled and she was kind enough to be flexible with pick-up times. Her sweet puppy Teddy is friendly with all dogs from what I could tell and helped my anxious one open up. Thanks Andrea!
Susan is kind, cheerful and really accomodating, going above and beyond. We are really glad to add Susan to our pet family and will be using and recommending her to our friends and for our pet care. Great communication, active and attentive with our dog assessing when he needed walks, play and comforting. Timely and flexible helped us immensely with our constantly changing needs and itinerary. Thank you Susan I highly recommend your service.
We had a last minute scramble after our usual boarder told us they couldn't honor our booking before a 3 week trip... Found Yuliia thanks to her stellar ratings and had a great intro call to ask our questions. Really lovely, warm person and we immediately felt comfortable. This trust was well placed since our dog London came back so chirpy and in a great mood and clearly loved Yullia. Got all the photos / videos as promised throughout the trip and we appreciated all the walks he clearly went on. Thanks to this, Yuliia will now be our first call, ahead of the boarder that let us down in the first place. THANK YOU!!
Cameron was amazing!!!! She took great care of Gerald when I was traveling and needed someone to board him last minute. She understood I was anxious about leaving him with someone he hadn’t met before and gave very detailed updates every morning. Gerald can be a picky eater and Cameron gave me updates about how much he was eating every day and tried mixing in various different foods to try get him to eat (which worked!). It‘s clear Cameron really cares about the dogs in her care and I would recommend her to anyone!!
This was our second time booking with Breana and Adam, and they took amazing care of our dog! They kept us updated with photos and gave us complete peace of mind while we were away. Crush came home very happy. We'd absolutely book with them again and highly recommend them!

The average cost for Pet Boarding in New York on Rover is $61.05 per night (as of August 2026). However, all sitters set their own rates based on experience, location, and availability.

There are 14,572 sitters on Rover for Pet Boarding in New York. About 88% of New York sitters can respond to requests in under 60 minutes. Whether you’re planning ahead for holidays, need last-minute care, or need same-day coverage for an urgent trip, you can message multiple sitters at once to find available care.
Once you find the right match, you can arrange a Meet & Greet to ensure they are a perfect fit for your pet’s personality before confirming.
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.
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 pet, 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.
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. Cats may be required to have Feline Viral Rhinotracheitis and Rabies up to date.
By discussing your pet's health history early, you’re adding a layer of confidence for you and your sitter before the booking begins.
Emergency support is available by phone or email in English 24/7. When an incident occurs, we recommend that sitters contact our Trust & Safety team immediately so that they can connect your sitter with a board-certified veterinarian or offer other resources to help.
If a sitter needs to cancel at the last minute, Rover’s reservation protection means our team will work with you to find a suitable replacement as quickly as possible.
