“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!”
“Deanna took such good care of my baby girl! I loved my daily updates and felt so much peace knowing she was in such great hands! Highly recommend and will definitely utilize her services again!”
“Yushan and Sam are animal lovers who made space in their home and hearts for our cat and dog this weekend. From the many pictures they sent during the stay, it looks like our pets were very comfortable and got along great with Yushan and Sam's. Would recommend for an accommodating and compassionate boarding experience for your pets.”
“Jasmil once again was amazing with Papa! She and her family cared for him as if he was their own :) she is so patient with him and sends the best updates throughout his stay. I will always recommend Jasmil!!”
“Yejin did an amazing job taking care of our pup Richard while we were out of town. She went above and beyond sending us consistent updates and taking him on long walks around the neighborhood. She also spoiled him by getting him some yummy treats! Richard seemed so happy and calm. We will definitely book her again next time we are in need of a sitter.”
“Anthony was so sweet to my dog Charlie. Charlie is a larger dog (85 lbs) and Anthony was so thoughtful to ask about his likes and dislikes in detail to make sure Vharlie was safe and happy.”
“I can’t recommend Cody enough. He watched my 1 year old Frenchie Gizmo for six days and took better care of him than I could’ve hoped. From the start he asked all the right questions so I knew Gizmo was in good hands, and he was always super quick to respond. He kept me updated with photos the whole time which put me at ease. Zero stress on my end. He lives right by the dog park so Gizmo got tons of outdoor time and walks, and he even worked on some training. Gizmo came home better behaved than when he left. Cody and his partner are both home so Gizmo was supervised the entire time and never left alone. Cody made safety a priority and made sure I was comfortable too. Honestly Gizmo didn’t even want to come home lol. That says it all. If you want a sitter who’s reliable and actually cares, book Cody. I definitely will again.”
“Vivian was so great!! She sent lots of text updates and pictures and I felt so much ease while traveling knowing that Ro was being so well cared for. Would 100% recommend for anyone looking for a sitter !!”
“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.”
“Anky is wonderful. Great communication while we were away and providing daily photos of our pup. I could tell our puppy really liked her because when we picked him up and Anky was walking away, he stood on two legs looking towards her wagging his tail till she was out of sight. We would recommend her to anyone.”
“Nicole was very caring for Pickles and her pup had patience putting up with Pickles teenager tactics. We really appreciate them caring for our boy while we were away.”
“Kevin and his dog Reuben were wonderful hosts for our girl Lily!!! She has an absolute ball with them! Kevin was very communicative and proactive about sending photos of all the fun and adventures they were having. We would love to have Lily stay with them again if a need arose!”
“Hannah was great! She was so responsive and accommodating with a phone call to coordinate drop off and learn a little about Wallace. She sent updates while we were away including the fact that Wallace actually ate his food while we were gone! (Something our anxious old guy doesn't always do when we're away - so it felt like the truest testament of how comfortable he was in her company.) Can't say enough wonderful things!”
“This was Bogie’s first stay with Xiao and won’t be his last. Through all the updates I could tell he was well cared for and loved. Definitely gave me peace of mind while I was away.”
“This was a 5 star experience from start to finish. Shortly after my “Baby” arrived at Giulia’s, we said our goodbyes. Soon after, I received a photo of my little one out and about, which gave me instant comfort. Baby had an exciting 9 day vacation. She relaxed in bed, watched television and had some playtime in the bathtub and sink. When Giulia’s kiddos went to bed, Baby kept Angel alert in the nursery, standing guard as the children slept. She played in her tunnel, had plenty of family cuddles and oversaw pumpkin painting at the family table. Baby felt so welcomed and comfortable, that by the end of her stay she was sitting like a human on the couch, my favorite picture of all!!!! Julia was in touch on a daily basis with a video or photos and some reassuring words. The entire experience was extraordinary. I would trust this loving family with my “ Baby” anytime.”

Nena is so great!! My dog Coco can be a little nervous but she warmed right up to Nena who made her feel comfortable and at home. Nena took Coco out and about for lots of walks and play, and kept me updated throughout Coco’s stay. She’s communicative and attentive, not to mention all around lovely, and it’s very apparent she genuinely loves animals. I highly recommend Nena… I will definitely be booking with her again!
Heather and Ronald are amazing. Their service is going beyond just taking care of your pet - they understand that separation with your little baby is stressful for the pet and parents as well and they insure you have no worries at all while traveling. Our baby girl Mazzy had the best time ever staying at their home and most likely didn’t want to return back home 🐕 all the fun she had, friends she made, and worry free travel we had are priceless. We are so lucky having Heather and Ronald around!
tara was so lovely with luna! she made halloween extra special for her, from playing fetch and going on long walks to meeting all the little trick-or-treaters. loved getting her sweet updates and hearing how much fun luna was having. you can really tell how much love and attention she gives. made me so happy knowing luna was in such good hands. thank you tara for taking such wonderful care of luna!
Jia is so incredible - she kept us posted with photos and videos several times throughout the days Koda stayed with them which filled our hearts! If you’re needing a sitter in Jersey city, we cannot recommend Jia enough - she has a gift for making her home feel immediately comfortable to others! Thank you so much, Jia!
Aiste and Chris are dream dog sitters. You really feel like your dog is their special guest and enjoying her own vacation while you are on yours. I received adorable updates every single day with plenty of photographs. This was the best experience I’ve had leaving my dog. I used to always feel bad leaving her… now I’m already dreaming of my next trip.
Daniela was amazing for our little Clover! We needed a last minute sitter in Jersey City and couldn't have been happier! We received multiple videos and photos while we were away and Clover seemed so happy the entire time. She's just under two so she has a LOT of energy and Daniela ensured plenty of park visits and play time. 10/10 would recommend!
Jessica was amazing with Corote! It was our first time being away from him for such a long period, but she made us feel completely at ease. She was super communicative, kept us updated, and made sure we knew he was in good hands. It really helped us enjoy our trip without worrying. We're so grateful and would definitely book with her again. Thank you, Jessica!
Janina is absolutely wonderful with our pup Frankie. Her dog Lola and him are the best of buds, she provides updates throughout the stay consistently, and he always comes home in good spirits! I highly recommend her for anyone looking for a trusting sitter to care for their little ones. A++
Christina was amazing as always! We use her as our walker twice a week and have boarded our dog with her a couple times now too. She is EXTREMELY communicative, I never worry about being able to reach her. She will also follow any instruction perfectly and send LOTS of pictures throughout the stay. It’s clear she is experienced with dogs and I would recommend her to anyone!

The average cost of Pet Boarding in New York City 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 14,688 sitters on Rover for Pet Boarding in New York City. About 88% of New York City 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.
