“Victoria is a great dog sitter - she took great care of our dogs while we were away for a trip. She was awesome at sending lots of pictures / updates on our pups, which was greatly appreciated. Would recommend Victoria to anyone looking for a reliable and responsible dog sitter.”
“Alexis was fantastic. So proactive in sharing lots of photos and updates of Anubis throughout his stay. Very diligent in following his eating and medication plan. Anubis had a great stay!”
“This is the second time we left our cocker spaniel Puno with Nadia. She was always sending us pictures of him and telling us how he was doing. I was very relaxed during my vacations knowing that Puno was in good hands. When we came back to pick him up, he didn't want to leave because he was so happy! I recommend Nadia 100% and next time I leave town, she will be my first option.”
“SHE IS THE BEST AND THE ONLY PERSON I TRUST TO WATCH MY DOG ONYX LOVES HER AND IM SURE HE CANT WAIT TIL I GO ON VACATION AGAIN CAUSE HE GOING BACK TO HER FOR SURE”
“Each time we leave Nutmeg in Euitae’s hands we know she will receive the best care and love. She loves staying there and her walks in the park, and we love the photos, communication and updates.”
“Kira is absolutely amazing with dogs and our go-to sitter. We have a high-energy pup and Kira is great with her and has a calming effect. She’s a great communicator and I’d highly recommend her!”
“Cathy did a phenomenal job watching Vida. She was always responsive and accommodating. She took excellent care of Vida, and I would absolutely use her again.”
“Highly recommend Aksel. This was my first time leaving my dog with somebody I didn’t know (he’s stayed with friends before, but I had never used the Rover app or anything similar). Aksel was great with communication, and send photos each day of my dog on walks, playtime etc. I’m 100% comfortable leaving my dog with Aksel again, and would happily endorse him.”
“Xinyue was very responsive and always kept us updated every day, which gave us so much peace of mind while we were away. Most importantly, she genuinely cared for and loved our dog, and it was clear that he was happy and comfortable with her. We really appreciated how attentive and caring she was. We would definitely recommend her to other pet parents!”
“Qing took AMAZING care of my cat Andre, he was clearly so happy in her care. I felt very reassured with Qing’s experience and updates during his stay! Definitely a top tier experience for your pet.”
“Svetlana took great care of our dog Mac. She was very communicative and gave us daily updates with pictures. We will certainly be using her in the future and would highly recommend for others looking for a sitter.”
“Kevin was AMAZING with our girl Lily!!! Kevin and their dog Reuben were perfect hosts, Lily absolutely loved her stay :). We got regular updates with great photos and videos, it was so nice to see what a great time she was having! Thank you Kevin -- we would absolutely rebook if there was ever a future need!”
“Claudia provided excellent care for our Shiba Inu when we had to travel for a family wedding. She sent updates regularly and pictures so we felt completely safe and assured during his stay. We would absolutely book with her again!”
“Great person overall, and a wonderful pup sitter. She’s very thorough and communicative. I extremely comfortable leaving my super senior dog with her. Highly recommend!”
“Our dog Augie had a great stay! We received lots of pictures and updates throughout his stay, and it looked like he had so much fun. He would definitely love to stay again.”
“Teraesa M. was amazing -- she kept me updated on Tumi's stay. Tumi really enjoyed Teraesa's home and company. I would definitely use her again.”
“We had an amazing experience with Hannah. She took exceptional care of our dog, Cooper, while we were away. We received daily photos of Cooper, and it was clear he was happy and comfortable. Cooper only pulls his ears back when he feels safe and trusts someone, and seeing him do that in the photos was incredibly reassuring. When we were looking for boarding options, some people were uncomfortable with us seeing their homes, which was a definite no-go for us. We couldn’t imagine leaving our dog in a place we hadn’t seen. Hannah, on the other hand, had no issues with us visiting her place, and it was very clean and super neat. This transparency gave us great peace of mind. It was also very important to us that Cooper felt at ease and could roam freely, just like at home. It was so good to see photos of Cooper on her sofas, looking relaxed and happy. We couldn't have asked for a better boarding experience. Highly recommend!”
“I cannot say enough wonderful things about Lindsay! She is so kind, caring, flexible and loving to our Scout. We feel so at ease going away knowing she is in Lindsay’s care. She’s the very best!!!”

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 Pet Boarding in New York is $62 per night as of November 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.
There are 14,553 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 casual meeting to vet potential sitters and communicate care needs for peace of mind before a booking begins. Only sitters who have never booked with you before can schedule a Meet & Greet on Rover; however, you are welcome to coordinate one in Rover messages with sitters you have previously booked. This can be helpful if you have a new pet or routine you want to go over with your sitter.
Meet & Greets can take place in person or virtually. If you are booking with a sitter for the first time, we recommend in-person Meet & Greets to get a clearer sense of how your sitter interacts with your pet 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. Meet & Greets are a great way to prepare your pet and sitter for longer stays or first-time bookings. Read our tips for your first Meet & Greet.
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.
