“Mildred was AMAZING watching our dog Sandy. She was highly responsive, very accommodating, and gave Sandy all the love and attention she needed. She sent photos and updates throughout her stay. Would highly recommend Mildred to anyone, and would definitely book with her again!”
“Volha and her family were WONDERFUL. She was super communicative and sent photos and updates every day that we were away. Our pup loved his time there and we felt confident that he was in excellent hands. We will absolutely be booking Volha again!”
“Our little guy, Wrigley, had an absolutely wonderful stay with Judy and Steven! I wholeheartedly recommend them to anyone looking for a warm, welcoming environment for their pup. As a beagle, Wrigley usually hates being left behind—but I felt completely at ease knowing he was in such caring hands. He got the royal treatment with pup cups, plenty of love and attention, and he even made a new friend in their sweet dog, Ginger. Thank you, Judy and Steven, for making Wrigley feel so at home and for giving me such peace of mind!”

I couldn’t have asked for a better sitter and will definitely book her again!”

“We’re so happy we found Nayeli! My husband and I were looking for a sitter near our Airbnb in upstate NY since it didn’t allow dogs, and Nayeli was absolutely fantastic. She’s very knowledgeable and took such great care of our dogs, including giving thyroid medication to our Husky. She sent us regular updates and photos, which made us feel completely at ease while we were away. Her home is clean, well-equipped, and safe for dogs. The fenced backyard is beautiful, and our dogs had so much fun playing there with her own dogs — they got along so well! We couldn’t have asked for a better experience and will definitely book with Nayeli again in the future. Highly recommend her to anyone looking for a trustworthy, caring, and reliable dog sitter!”

About: I have 2 dogs, Australian Shepperd hound mix and a Chihuahua mix. Previously had a Bichon Frise mix (Rip). I will love your dog just like my own. I can do drop ins, walks or pet sitting. I love sitting on the floor with my own dogs and sing life away (not a very good singer but my dogs loves it) i can do the same for yours. Lol I am available full time. Monday through Friday. Saturdays available at my own discretion. If needed i can make arrangements. Although i love all dogs i could care for small to medium dogs. Life full of dogs is a wonderful beautiful life. I will provide the best care for your baby. They are our children so why not give the best for them. Working from home is boring!! I have availability for your doggie baby Monday through Friday 6pm -10pm and weekends at my own discretion. I will post availability on my calendar.

Incredibly responsive, friendly , and easy going. Amruta agreed to watch our dog child during our wedding weekend and…. Bring him for family photos and back on our wedding day. She made it so easy and we were able to trust her to deliver. Alfie had a great time and we couldn’t have done it without Amruta. Thank you!!
Nayeli took such great care of our two pups! I really appreciated that she took the time to send pictures and videos multiple times per day and kept us informed about how they were doing. It felt great knowing that our dogs were in good hands while we were away. Nayeli also had great communication with us throughout the entire process. I would definitely use her again to care for our pups!

FAQs for Dog Boarding - Poughkeepsie
Frequently asked questions about Rover
The average cost for Dog Boarding in Poughkeepsie on Rover is $53.5 per night (as of July 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 July 2026, there are 510 sitters on Rover offering Dog Boarding across Poughkeepsie. Enter your ZIP code to see which available sitters are closest to your home.
Every sitter on Rover 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.
96% of Poughkeepsie sitters also include daily walks in the neighborhood during dog boarding stays. You can also request photo and message updates throughout the stay so you can see which Poughkeepsie 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 Poughkeepsie 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 Poughkeepsie.
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 Poughkeepsie 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.
