Aksel has watched our dog many times and we rest easy knowing that our pup is in great hands. Honestly our dog probably has more fun with Aksel than at home. We were in a pinch and had to drop our dog off at the last minute this time - it is such a relief to know that Aksel will make sure our quirky and stubborn dog will be well looked after.
Jane was absolutely wonderful with Zissou while we were away for two weeks. She took such great care of him and went above and beyond to make sure he was happy, comfortable and well cared for. She was incredibly attentive to his dietary needs, even cooking him fresh meals, and made sure he got plenty of exercise and extra walks. We really appreciated the consistent updates and knowing he was in such caring, capable hands while we were away. It gave us so much peace of mind during a long trip. We would absolutely trust Jane with Zissou again and highly recommend her!
Janis was outstanding. Biggie was so happy staying at her lovely apartment. She was so warm and caring with him and I could tell as soon as I arrived, and again when I picked Biggie up, that I had stumbled across a complete gem. I will absolutely be using Janis again in the future. Wouldn’t want to deny Biggie another opportunity to hang out with her. Thank you, Janis!
Jacqueline did a great job boarding my two dogs! She was very communicative throughout their stay and kept me updated with photos and messages, which I really appreciated. My dogs seemed comfortable and well cared for, and everything went smoothly from drop-off to pickup. I would definitely recommend Jacqueline and would be happy to book with her again!
Noah took great care of Sunny! Sunny had such a good time and came back so relaxed - which means he had a good time :) The communication was super easy and consistent, we received many updates and pictures and happily recommend Noah to anyone who is looking at his profile!
Teresa watched our dog for almost two weeks and did an amazing job. She listened carefully to our notes about taking care of her, asked lots of questions to ensure our dog would be comfortable and sent multiple daily updates. We could tell from the pictures that our dog was having an amazing time and was getting tons of exercise, pets and care. We would highly recommend Teresa and definitely plan to work with her again!

Frequently asked questions about Rover
The average cost for Pet Boarding in New York City on Rover is $61.05 per night (as of August 2026). However, all sitters set their own rates based on experience, location, and availability.
Rover makes budgeting the cost of Pet Boarding 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 Pet Boarding. For more information on service fees, click here .
There are 14,572 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 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.
