“They were great! Lincoln met with them a few days before the stay and was immediately comfortable. There house was very clean and the enclosed backyard was very spacious leaving a lot of room for the dogs to play and secure enough to prevent them from getting out. They sent video and pictures everyday. I would definitely leave my dog with them again in the future.”

“It’s been years since I left my dogs with a sitter and I was so worried about finding someone they’d be convertible with. I am happy to report I think they had a great time with Michael! Communication was fast, he was very flexible in pick up and drop off times and my girls were very well taken care of. I will definitely be hiring Michael again next time we leave town. 5/5 stars!”

“Ed was great! We never left Snickers with anyone for more than one night so needless to say we were a little nervous. When we first met Ed, we could tell that he took his job seriously and is a true animal lover. We left Snickers with Ed for four nights and there were no complaints. Ed was great with sending photos and videos and kept us updated each day. Snickers was well taken care of and we would definitely leave him with Ed again. Thank you so much for taking such great care of our little fella.”

“I highly recommend this sitter! They took amazing care of my two dogs, Whiskey and Midnight, while I was away on vacation. Leaving your pets behind is never easy, but Dilania made the entire experience completely stress-free. Communication was outstanding from start to finish. I received daily updates with pictures and videos, along with thoughtful messages about how the boys were doing. Those updates gave me so much peace of mind and allowed me to truly relax and enjoy my vacation, knowing Whiskey and Midnight were in great hands. It was clear she genuinely cared for my dogs and treated them like family. I came home to two happy, well cared for pups, and I couldn’t be more grateful. If you’re looking for someone who is reliable, attentive, communicative, and truly loves animals, I wouldn’t hesitate to book with her.”

About: Hello, I’m Raymonii or Ray. I’m a Toy Designer and Illustrator, and dog lover! I have always had a love for dogs and have watched some of my family and friends dogs for about 2 years and now have my own! I am ambivert. I love the outdoors, playing, and having energy to run and have a great time with mine and your pets. I have a backyard ready to play in and I also live 5 minutes from a trail. I value your pet’s safety and happiness like they are my children too! I work remotely at my house which is near a dog friendly trail and I have a spacious backyard. I am available currently seven days a week. I am very active and love walks as much as dogs do. I make lists for organization and I love playing with my dog to keep her tail wagging and put a smile on her face! I would love to do the same for another. As a dog owner myself I understand the value in having a safe, comfortable, and fun space for your beloved pet. I get it, leaving your pet with someone new can be daunting but I’m here to make sure to give you a peace of mind. I handle everything from food, water, and play time with caution as if it were my own baby (dog).

About: I have taken care of dogs for family and friends since my late twenties. I have experience with puppies as well as senior dogs. For many years I lived and cared for a paralyzed pug who never let his special needs stop him from living a happy life. He used a wheelchair, went on long stroller walks, participated in dog walks and events, took both oral and injected medications regularly and had to have his bladder expressed. Each new health issue was just another learning experience. I have since been certified in pet first aid and never shy away from caring for a pet with special health needs. I am currently working full time and can provide pet boarding only on weekends since I’m not home during the weekday until the evening. Dog Walking and drop-ins I am available weekends as well and evenings M-F I have a large 2 bedroom apartment with no pets of my own right now so your pets will get lots of attention and can relax freely.. I don’t have a yard but can easily walk your dog around my quiet neighborhood where there are plenty of parks and dog parks we can go to for exercise. I love going on walks and being outside so if your pet is up for it there is plenty of opportunity for exercise and exploring.

“We had to leave Nene and Scrappy with Jonisha and her family for a weekend while we were traveling, and once again, we did so with complete peace of mind, knowing they would be well cared for and loved. This time, Nene had a small rash on her back left leg that required the application of topical ointment twice daily. Jonisha and her family not only assured us they would handle it but went above and beyond by putting a soft cone on Nene to prevent her from licking the hot spot. Their attentiveness and care truly exceeded our expectations. As usual, Jonisha and her family kept us updated with lots of videos and pictures. It warmed my heart to see how well-cared-for and at ease Nene and Scrappy were. They fit right in with Jonisha’s family and her two dogs. The videos showed them outside, romping around and active, while the pictures captured them snuggling and resting together, as well as with Jonisha and her family members. Knowing that they were so loved and happy gave me immense comfort. Once again, Jonisha and her family delivered exceptional care. We couldn’t be happier with them and wouldn’t dream of entrusting Nene and Scrappy to anyone else. It’s clear they treat our dogs as if they were their own, and that level of love and dedication means the world to us. The girls were even excited to see Jonisha and her sister when we dropped them off, which speaks volumes about the bond they share. How could you not want that kind of care for your dogs when leaving them with a sitter?”

Once again, Vanessa is the absolute best! Each time I have left my dogs in her care, I have felt completely at ease knowing they are being loved, well-cared for, and have playmates to keep them company while they are apart from their family. She’s communicative (always keeping us updated with the cutest pictures and videos), patient, and goes out of her way to make sure all bases are covered when you have any particular needs for your pups. Being away on a busy holiday weekend, we got stuck in even worse traffic than expected and were late to pick up. She was so understanding and patient which relieved any extra stress we had. She’s truly a saint, and her family is lovely as well. I will be sure to recommend her to any of my loved ones who need a sitter and you can rest assured knowing she’ll take the best care of your pets, too.

I honestly cannot say enough wonderful things about Pamela and the incredible care she gave my dog, Shadow, while I was away on vacation. From the very beginning, I felt completely comfortable knowing Shadow was in her hands. Pamela is an absolutely incredible woman—kind, caring, dependable, and genuinely devoted to the animals she looks after. She treated Shadow as if he were her own, and that kind of personal attention and compassion is priceless when you’re away from your pet. It gave me tremendous peace of mind knowing Shadow was safe, happy, comfortable, and being so well cared for. Pamela went above and beyond, and I couldn’t be more satisfied with the experience. If you’re looking for someone you can truly trust with your pet, I would recommend Pamela without hesitation. She is an exceptional caretaker and an exceptional person. Shadow was lucky to have her, and so were we! Five stars simply aren’t enough. Thank you, Pamela! 🐾❤️

We had a great experience with Jaxon’s stay! It was his first time away from us, and she was very understanding and kept us updated with lots of pictures and videos. He was a little nervous the first day, but by day two he had settled in, made friends with the other dogs and bonded with her daughter. They took great care of him, took him for walks, and she even gave him a hygiene trim. Jaxon came home happy and well cared for. We would definitely use her again!

We had a wonderful experience with Jim and Ellen as our dog sitters! They were incredibly caring, responsible, and attentive throughout our dog’s stay. It was clear from the beginning that they genuinely love dogs and treated ours like part of their own family. They kept us updated with photos and messages, which gave us great peace of mind while he was with them. Our dog was happy, relaxed, and clearly well cared for when we picked him up. We couldn’t have asked for better dog sitters and would absolutely trust Jim and Ellen with our dog again. Highly recommended!

Ivana was wonderful with Sunny. She is very caring, patient, understanding, and has a very calm, relaxed demeanor that made us feel comfortable right away. Sunny showed some separation anxiety on the first day, and Ivana was extremely patient with her and gave her the time she needed to settle in and feel comfortable. Ivana also did a great job keeping us updated with messages and pictures throughout Sunny’s stay, which really helped put our minds at ease while we were away. It was obvious that she genuinely cared about Sunny and wanted her to feel safe and happy. We felt very comfortable leaving Sunny in her care and would definitely use Ivana again.

FAQs for Dog Boarding - North Merrick

Frequently asked questions about Rover

The average cost of Dog Boarding in North Merrick is $61 per night as of November 2026. Most bookings cost between $50 and $72 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.

As of November 2026, there are 13,177 sitters on Rover offering Dog Boarding across North Merrick. Enter your ZIP code to see which available sitters are closest to your home.

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.

Every sitter on Rover has their own routine. Depending on the arrangements you agree on before the stay, a sitter can follow your dog’s regular feeding schedule, provide a comfortable place to sleep, offer companionship, and support their usual exercise and play needs.

94% of sitters in North Merrick can provide daily exercise during dog boarding stays. Depending on the sitter, their home environment, and your dog’s needs, this may include walks, outdoor play, indoor enrichment activities, or supervised play with compatible dogs. These activities are not automatically included with every booking, so ask the sitter what a typical day looks like.

During the Meet & Greet, discuss your dog’s usual exercise and play routine, whether they can safely interact with other dogs, and any activities or restrictions the sitter should follow. You can also ask the sitter to send photo and message updates during the stay so you can see how your dog is spending their time.

Preparing for drop-off is easy when you have a checklist! To help your dog settle into their North Merrick home-away-from-home, we recommend packing:

  • Health and safety essentials such as their ID tags, vaccination records, medication, and emergency vet or secondary caregiver contacts.
  • Food and gear such as harnesses, collars, food (portioned by day), and an item that smells like you.
  • Special instructions such as a list of training cues, medical administration needs, or favorite hang-out spots in your North Merrick.

Tip: You can upload your dog’s routine and medical info directly onto their profile so your sitter always has the details at their fingertips.

Yes, you can find sitters who have experience with handling special pet needs in North Merrick. On Rover:

  • 85% of sitters can help with special care needs
  • 90% can help with giving oral medications or injections
  • 94% can help with daily exercise

You can also find pet sitters on Rover who accept only one pet at a time, which is ideal for anxious puppies, kittens, or senior pets who move at a gentler pace. Some sitters will also list availability for 24/7 care, also known as constant care, in their profiles.

Use the search filters to narrow down sitters whose specific experience or environment meets your pet's needs. When reaching out to your sitter, outline your pet's care routine and use the Meet & Greet to walk your sitter through your expectations.

You and your North Merrick sitter can schedule drop-off and pick-up in a way that works best for the both of you—and your dog. Most sitters offer flexible times for drop-off and pick-up but the easiest way to confirm those times will be through in-app messaging. Confirm your arrival time the day of pick-up and drop-off can also help keep the process smooth and organized.

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.

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.

By discussing your pet's health history early, you’re adding a layer of confidence for you and your sitter before the booking begins.

If a health concern arises during a stay, your sitter is instructed to contact you and our Trust & Safety team immediately and, if needed, take your dog to the closest veterinarian. Through our Trust & Safety support team, sitters can ask for diagnostic advice from a qualified veterinary professional if your dog is showing signs of possible illness.

For extra peace of mind, you can also prepare an authorization form for your regular vet. An authorization form outlines your preferred method of care and allows your sitter to bring your pet into their regular clinic.

Every qualified booking made on Rover is backed by the Rover Guarantee, which includes reimbursement for eligible emergency vet care.

Adding another pup to the pack? Most sitters and walkers offer a reduced rate for additional dogs. You’ll find these exact rates listed under the "Services" tab on any sitter's profile. Since every dog is unique, final pricing may vary depending on the level of care required.
