“We had a wonderful experience with Volha and her family! We really appreciated the regular updates and pictures throughout our travel. She was very thorough and detailed with her questions about our pups to ensure everything went smoothly. Our pups had a great time and were well cared for. We hope Volha can watch them again soon!”
“Cherissa and Ricardo were great with my 4yr old pup. They took very good care of him and sent pictures of him and let me know he was doing great. I would recommend them to anyone to watch their dog! Great job thank you!”
“Bruno had such a good stay with Donna and we felt completely comfortable leaving him somewhere new because of our previous visit and her great communication! He keeps running to the car wagging his tail since returning home- I think he is hoping to return for a visit!”
“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!”
“Thalya was amazing. She was super sweet and loved Jaxon like he was her own. She gave me numerous updates, pictures and videos. I felt extremely comfortable leaving my pup with her.”
“she was an excellent nanny for Pluto .. she was always in contact with me, she sent me photos and videos, she looked after Pluto for 5 days ... 100% recommended, she has a lot of love and responsibility for pets”
“Jeff was absolutely fantastic from the first enquiry to the end of Zizou’s stay. Communication was quick and easy, when my plans changed/got delayed Jeff was extremely flexible and accommodating. Zizou loved running around outside, and Jeff’s dog Sarah is such a sweetie too! 100% would book with Jeff again in the future.”
“Cristian went above and beyond to make sure i felt 100% comfortable while i was boarding my pit mix Nala for 11 days for the first time. Nala even sadly got a pretty severe UTI during her stay and Cristian was so on top of it with photos, concern, and ended up even taking her to the vet for me and getting the care she needed. Even with a 6hr time change he managed to keep up with great communication and updates throughout the stay. I truly couldn’t be happier with my experience. He will definitely be my top choice in the future - no question. Thank you endlessly Cristian!”
“Nayeli was great! Excellent communications and expectations. We did a meet and greet to make sure Rosie and her pups got along. She was attentive to Rosie's needs and personality quirks, and sent lovely updates that were very reassuring. Will definitely book again!”
“We left our pup with Rebecca for a long weekend and he had a great time! She sent lots of pictures and updates and clearly showered him with love all weekend. Would definitely book again! Thanks Rebecca!”
“This was my first experience with getting dog sitter for my dog. I was very relaxed and comfortable when I met Brittany and loved the fact that we communicated about my dog and she sent me some pictures on how she was doing. I definitely recommend using Brittany and will use her again 😊”
“I would highly recommend Amruta, she is a caring, responsible and communicative dog sitter. Amruta took time to understand my dog's specific needs, preferences and routine ensuring that they received the best care possible. Amruta sent me frequent pictures and updates, keeping me informed about my dog's mood and health. This level of communication gave me immense peace of mind while we were away.”
“Mario was so great to work with. He was thoughtful, kind, sent lots of cute updates, and most importantly he treated Eiger like a part of his family! I felt super confident leaving Eiger with him for the weekend. Thanks Mario!”
“❤️😳🙌I dropped my puppy Malinois off with Angel for 5 days. She came back happy, and better behaving when I picked her up. I can tell a lot af attention was given to her and she was treated well. A Puppy Malinois not the easiest dog to handle… Angel is definitely a dog whisperer 🙏🏻✨”
“Stephanie took amazing care of my two older pups. Her home was welcoming, and her pets had a blast with their new playmates while we were out of town, Stephanie provided consistent updates and photos, we were able to relax and enjoy our getaway knowing they were in good hands. I will definitely be returning!”
“Cory was a great host for Henny. Her dogs were friendly and she was super communicative! She sent lots of photos and videos which helped soothe my pet parent anxiety. Would definitely book with her again”
“Chaqutia looked after my pup, Ralph, for just over a week. I was nervous about leaving him for such a long period of time especially as he was unwell. Chaqutia put my mind at ease instantly and sent updates multiple times throughout the day of both photos and videos as well as a report of how he did with his food and confirming he took his meds. Any questions I had or suggestions I made, she responded to promptly. She’s a very kind and caring person and also very responsible with things like a camera set up in the room dogs sleep in to check on throughout the night. She was flexible with both pick up and drop off times and really listened to our needs Her home is beautiful, large and on a very quiet secluded road which was reassuring as less traffic. Her family are truly lovely and her eldest child played with Ralph lots (particularly loved those videos) Would definitely use Chaqutia again and recommend her to others!”

We cannot recommend Jordan enough! Leaving our dog, Emma, is always stressful, but Jordan put our minds completely at ease from Saturday. She is reliable, incredibly communicative, and sent us wonderful daily photo updates and stories. If you need a trustworthy, patient, and truly caring person for your pet, look no further. We will definitely book with Her again!
Thalya was amazing looking after our 7 months old puppy for 12 days. He clearly had fun at her house, which we could see from the many pictures and videos she sent with her regular updates. She even showered him before bringing him home to us. He seems much calmer and relaxed and I think the time with her and her dogs was a great experience for him. We are already planning his next stay with her. Definitely recommend her!
Mildred and her family were great with my Lily. We had a meet and greet prior to the boarding to make sure she would be a good fit for Lily. Mildred and her family were so warm and inviting, we knew immediately we were going to book her. Mildred shared multiple pictures and videos of Lily’s daily activities and well as when she was in slumber. I will 💯 use her service in the future and highly recommend her.
Judy and Steven took great care of Sandy for us. They sent multiple pics and vids of her playing and having a grand 'ol time there. It really helps put your mind at ease and we were very grateful to get those while we were away. They were a pleasure to deal with. They are both great communicators up to and during Sandy's stay with them. That will definitely be our go to folks when we need a place for Sandy to stay. Thank you very much much, Judy and Steven and Ginger!

Frequently asked questions about Rover
The average cost for Dog Boarding in Poughkeepsie on Rover is $54.75 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 494 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.
97% 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.
