“Margaret and her children took such loving care of Windy, I can’t thank them enough! Margaret kept me updated on how Windy was doing which I very much appreciated especially since I had never her left her like this before. I would highly recommend Margaret as a very experienced and loving dog caregiver.”
“Pamela did a wonderful job caring for Ella for an extended stay with surprise medical care for Ella thrown into the mix last minute! I really felt like she cared for Ella as if she was her own pet. I got updates and pictures, and she handled the medical hiccup like a pro. So grateful that Ella was in such good hands.”
“Destiny took care of our puppy for us the first time we ever had to leave him. She provided a safe, comfortable environment with plenty of exercise and play time. She was super communicative and sent us daily messages and photos while were away! Highly recommend!”
“Caitlin did a great job taking care of our Italian Greyhound. Her schedule was flexible for drop off and pick up, she sent pictures in the morning and evening and let us know how he was doing. It was pretty much seamless and what I would have expected. I would use Caitlin again.”
“We will definitely stay with her again, I talked and she sends me photos of my dog all the time, I was calm and because she has her safe and clean space. She answered my questions quickly and helped me with my reservation, a great person. Lu and I love her ❤️?”
About: I’ve grown up with dogs and cats so caring for pets comes naturally to me. I will provide a comfortable home suitable for your pets. Pet care fits seamlessly into my routine! I work part-time doing deliveries, which gives me the flexibility to create my own schedule — meaning I can easily adapt around your pet’s needs rather than the other way around. 🐾 Whether you need early morning visits, midday check-ins, or evening walks, my availability is largely open and I’m happy to work around what works best for you and your furry family member. Consistency and reliability are really important to me, so once we establish a routine that works, I stick to it! My home is a safe and comfortable place for your pet without any children or other animals. My time is solely dedicated for your loved ones.
“Kevin was amazing with our girl, Nala! He provided a safe environment for her and treated her like his own. When I picked her up she was so relaxed and had even eaten most of her food, which told me just how comfortable she was with Kevin and his sweet boy Oscar. It's very reassuring to know when we're away that Nala is in such good hands.”

Lower stress, means happier and healthier pets long term..
“Josée, We want to thank you so very much for taking care of Molly! This was the first time Molly had been away from home and our first time leaving her under another's care. The updates, pics and videos over the weekend were fantastic and greatly appreciated. We were able to see she was doing great and enjoying her "time" away with you, your family and in your home. We are very grateful for your care and attention to Miss Molly. Hoping that you also enjoyed her company! Thank you!”
About: I’ve been petsitting for family and friends for two decades now, and would love the opportunity to help you out as well! I love all pets big and small, with familiarity with dogs, cats, lizards, rodents, and birds! Bonus! I’m a teacher as my day job, so you can trust that I’ve been solidly background checked, fingerprinted, etc, ensuring a safe, trustworthy person around your pets on a predictable schedule. I am also fully insured through PSI, adding an extra layer of protection for you and your pets! I am a full-time teacher from September to June. This means that my summers are wide open, and you can count on a reliable consistent schedule for your pets during the school year. Since I have my own cats at home, I offer pet-sitting at your home on your schedule. This can range from stop ins for potty breaks to walks every few hours to overnight stays - you tell me and I’m there! We’ll discuss your expectations to make sure that your pets get exactly the care you expect during your time away, and I promise clear and open communication while you trust me to watch over your babies! (If you are looking for boarding, please be aware that I have cats at my home. Any pup coming in MUST be good around cats, for everyone's comfort!)
“Shae was fantastic with Minou! She communicated quickly and often with photos so that I knew Minou was happy and having a great time. She even bought her a new toy to have fun with while we were away. Will definitely be booking with Shae again.”
About: I’ve been an animal lover my entire life and no one should ever have to worry about quality pet care while away. Call on me. I am plenty capable of being where I’m needed, at any time of day. Don’t feel like you don’t have options. I’m one call away. I am a responsible, respectful, private & compassionate person. I’m within the Massena area and willing to drive if needed. Just give me a call or text.

Frequently asked questions about Rover
The average cost for Dog Boarding in Potsdam on Rover is $33.3 per night (as of September 2026). However, all sitters set their own rates based on experience, location, and availability.
Rover makes budgeting the cost of Dog 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 Dog Boarding. For more information on service fees, click here .
As of September 2026, there are 11 sitters on Rover offering Dog Boarding across Potsdam. Enter your ZIP code to see which available sitters are closest to your home.
Every sitter has their own rhythm and routine, but most will follow the flow that keeps your dog happiest. Sitters can give meals on your dog's regular schedule, provide a comfortable place for sleep, and plenty of one-on-one attention.
Sitters may also include daily walks in the neighborhood during your dog's boarding stay. You can also request photo and message updates throughout so you can see which local landmarks or neighborhoods your dog is enjoying.
If your dog is a little shy, consider booking a one-night trial stay! This practice run can boost your and your dog’s confidence before your trip.
Preparing for drop-off is easy when you have a checklist! To help your dog settle into their Potsdam 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 Potsdam.
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.
You and your Potsdam 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.
