“Jacqueline was incredible! Literally couldn’t have asked for more in a sitter for our dog Mabel. Mabel is a very sweet but anxious lady and wasn’t her best self when we dropped her off - barking and very anxious to be left. Jacqueline was very understanding and updated me soon after I left to let me know Mabel had calmed down and was doing well. She asked all questions necessary to ensure Mabel had the best and most comfortable stay possible, and Mabel did indeed have a great time! Jacqueline sent photos and updates the whole time we were gone and I felt very comfortable with Mabel’s care which allowed me to enjoy my time away! Will absolutely be using Jacqueline & fam again!”

“Stacia is a very kind & very professional dog boarder. She also has a very pleasant personality. I received daily pics and videos of my 2 dogs while I was on vacation for 5 days. Stacia kept me inform with how the dogs were doing day to day, their eating habits how healthy their stool was and how comfortable they were just being at her location. I really appreciated how clean/manicured and dog friendly her backyard yard was for the dogs to run & play. I would absolutely use her services again & recommend her to a friend or family member that needs boarding. 10/10”

About: I'm a lifelong animal lover! Dogs and cats have always felt like family to me. Caring for animals brings me genuine joy, and I've put that into practice by volunteering with rescue organizations like See Spot Rescued. What sets me apart is reliability and real presence, I'm not just checking a box, I'm actually engaged: sticking close to your pet's normal routine, sending regular photo/video updates so you can relax while you're away, and paying attention to the little things (favorite spots, feeding quirks, anxiety triggers) that help a pet feel comfortable in a new situation. Your pet will get the same care and attention I'd want for my own. I work from home, which gives me a flexible schedule that fits pet care in naturally, I'm not squeezing visits in around a commute or rigid office hours. I'm available for overnight sits and walks throughout the week, including weekdays and weekends, so I can be consistent and reliable whether it's a one-off walk or a longer stay. Because I'm home most of the day, your pet won't be left alone for long stretches. I can check in, take breaks for walks or play, and keep an eye on things throughout the day rather than just morning and evening. My home is an apartment with easy access for walks, so getting your dog outside for a bathroom break or a stroll is quick and simple. I'm also close to a park, so I can take dogs there for longer walks, extra exercise, or just some time to sniff around and enjoy the outdoors. I don't currently have other pets in the home, so your dog or cat gets my full attention without having to navigate another animal's territory or temperament. I keep a close eye on pets at all times, no unsupervised outdoor time, secure doors and gates checked before any potty breaks, and a calm, clean space for them to settle into. If I'm sitting at your home instead, I follow the same principles: I stick closely to your routines and instructions, keep exits secure, and treat your space with the same care and respect I'd want for my own.

My pup fit right in and enjoyed all the consistent walks, cuddles, and attention they gave her. They were always quick to respond, flexible, and obviously true dog lovers. I’m so grateful for them and would definitely recommend them to others. Thanks you two!”

She sent us pics during our vacation and updated us. I was relieved that they had a fenced in yard because dalmations love to run. We picked up our fur baby in great shape. Thanks to Yanina and her family we will definitely rebook in future.”

Lorraine was super understanding and knew exactly what to do when my dog was having a hard time adjusting due to separation anxiety. She kept me updated every step of the way, which gave me a lot of peace of mind. Since my dog was in a new environment, I was worried at first, but Lorraine was patient, caring, and very experienced. Thanks to her, my dog was able to settle in comfortably and felt safe. I highly recommend Lorraine to anyone looking for someone trustworthy and compassionate to care for their pet.

FAQs for Dog Boarding - Old Place

Frequently asked questions about Rover

The average cost of Dog Boarding in Old Place is $37 per night as of November 2026. Most bookings cost between $32 and $53 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 13,972 sitters on Rover offering Dog Boarding across Old Place. 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 Old Place 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 Old Place 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 Old Place.

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 Old Place. On Rover:

  • 84% 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 Old Place 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.
