“Doggy daycare at Donna’s house was the best today. Lots of love for our dog, friends to play with and a big back yard to explore. Donna is communicative and attentive to our dog, and her own.”
“My husband and I were able to have an enjoyable day/evening at Mohonk Mountain House with no worries of our dog with Dawn. She was great with her. She kept us up to date with how her stay was going. She came back happy and exhausted with all the playing she did. Will definitely use her again when she’s needed.”
“At first, I struggled with the thought of leaving my grand dog (Zyla is my daughter’s dog), because Zyla really is treated like a family member and Zyla is our everything but Monica was wonderful. Monica sent multiple photos throughout the day which reassured us that Zyla was ok. From the photos I could tell that Zyla was having a blast. Zyla made a new furry friend and two human friends. Monica not only sent me photos but updated me throughout the day on Zyla’s activities which eased my worry as well. I can tell Zyla had the time of her life because she fell fast asleep on her ride home. Monica made Zyla’s first doggy daycare experience wonderful for both Zyla and her owners. I am definitely scheduling more future dates with Monica for both doggie daycare and boarding.”
“Demi was perfection as a dog sitter. Responsible, communicative, and caring, she did such a good job we couldn’t have asked for better. Highly recommended, and we will certainly call on her again.”
“Weina was flexible with our drop off/pick up time for Finnegan which was much appreciated! She took our sweet pup out on three long walks over a 7+ hour period plus additional short potty and water breaks. She sent updates and photos throughout the stay. Quick to respond to our request and any additional outreach!”
“My dog loves to go to Stephen’s for doggie daycare and comes home tired from her day there. I feel comfortable having her there and I will be using Stephen again to watch my pup.”
“Athena was absolutely amazing with my dog, Toulouse. He's a whiny handful with major separation anxiety, so I was nervous about leaving him with anyone, but Athena won him over completely. She took him on some adorable adventures around her university campus and, somehow, got him to actually do all of his business, which is nearly impossible even for me sometimes! She was patient, attentive, and clearly has a real gift with anxious dogs. I'd trust her with Toulouse again in a heartbeat, and I can't recommend her enough.”
“Rosalie was SO GOOD and patient with our nervous chihuahua. She sent great updates and he had a lovely time in her home and fenced yard. We highly recommend her for dogs of all sizes! :)”
“We boarded our two dogs (1.5 yr old 75lbs mix and 11 year old Chihuahua) for two days, one overnighy. Leah was very accommodating, even when we added a second day last minute. She has a calm energy which helped with both our excitable puppy and small lap dog. She has a great fenced yard for the dogs to run around, she followed our instructions nicely and let us know about any concerns (even if small) when they came up. We appreciate her taking such good care of our two dogs so we didn’t have to worry about them at all!”
“Daniela was really wonderful, attentive and patient and flexible. Goguma is still in his puppy phase and got to play with her dog. She checked in several times. I felt like Goguma was in great hands and look forward to future dates with Daniela.”
“Rachel and her mother was amazing! They kept me up to date with Athena's care, and sent me pictures throughout the day. It says a lot when your puppy doesn't want to go home when you arepicking her up. Lol... It means she was well taken care of. Thank you so much Ladies!! I appreciate it. You have gained a returning customer”

“Alexa and Alex were amazing! Great communicators and were very accommodating. They were flexible with pickup/drop off times, they helped a bit with crate training and separation training. They even offered to meet in person first to make sure Mabel was comfortable with them and Shay. But most importantly, Alexa and Alex were so sweet to Mabel and I could see by photos that Mabel was very happy being with them, in their home. Mabel and Shay were such best friends and were always so excited to see each other! I will always go to Alexa and Alex (and Shay) first for any babysitter needs in the future! 10/10!!!”
“If you want an awesome person to pet sit this is the person. She would send text messages of your pets and how it was getting along. I would recommend her and I will definitely use her again”

Dog parents share their Rover experiences - Poughkeepsie
Nayeli was a great dog sitter. She had our 2 pups for more than 9 hours. I could tell right from the first meeting that she would provide good care. She was also very patient with me as I tried to figure out how to navigate the Metro North Train into The Bronx. She even gave me information on an app that helped. We used her service so we could go to a NY Yankees game, which was rain delayed. The train back to Poughkeepsie was also later than planned but Nayeli worked with us without complaint. We'd definitely recommend her.
We had a great experience with Alison & Jason! Our rescue dog, Apple, deals with separation anxiety, but she settled right in and felt completely secure with them. The communication and photo updates were top-notch the entire time. It’s a huge relief to find sitters we can trust, and we’ll definitely be booking with them again!

Frequently asked questions about Rover
The average cost of Doggy Day Care in Poughkeepsie is $50 per day as of October 2026. Most bookings cost between $37 and $67 per day. 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 October 2026, there are 363 sitters on Rover offering Doggy Day Care across Poughkeepsie. Enter your ZIP code to see which available sitters are closest to your home.
Sitters on Rover can offer flexible scheduling, so you can coordinate times that work best for you and your pet—whether that’s early drop-off or later pick-up to match your Poughkeepsie commute.
If your schedule changes, it’s best to let your sitter know through the app as early as possible. Many sitters can adjust pick-up and drop-off times when needed.
Think of doggy day care as your dog’s fun, supervised play date that happens to fit into your workday. Day care through Rover takes place in a real home. This offers a calmer and more personalized environment for your pup.
A typical day can include companionship, one-on-one attention, and same day pick-up and drop-off. Many sitters can also offer structured routines and exercise throughout the day. For recurring, weekly day care, sitters will include photo updates so you can see your dog in their element.
Here are tips for finding the ideal day care fit for your dog:
- For some small dogs: In-home day care can be the perfect fit. Look for sitters whose "can host" section only lists dogs weighing 0–7 kilograms and/or 7–18 kilograms. During your Meet & Greet, ask about play areas based on dog size and energy level.
- For high-energy dogs: The ideal doggy day care can offer scheduled breaks and outdoor spaces or activities. You can also find sitters who host multiple dogs to satisfy your pup’s socializing needs.
- For dogs who prefer human-only companionship: Use the filters "Doesn't own a dog" and "Only accepts one pet at a time" to find the right care.
As of October 2026, there are 363 sitters on Rover offering Doggy Day Care across the region of NY. Enter your address or desired location to see which available sitters are closest to you.
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.
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.
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.
A Meet & Greet is a casual meeting to vet potential sitters and communicate care needs for peace of mind before a booking begins. Only sitters who have never booked with you before can schedule a Meet & Greet on Rover; however, you are welcome to coordinate one in Rover messages with sitters you have previously booked. This can be helpful if you have a new pet or routine you want to go over with your sitter.
Meet & Greets can take place in person or virtually. If you are booking with a sitter for the first time, we recommend in-person Meet & Greets to get a clearer sense of how your sitter interacts with your pet or the new environment.
During the Meet & Greet, you will have a chance to walk through your pet's routine, medical needs, and unique quirks. Take the time to ask your sitter questions about their skills and expertise, and make sure the fit feels right for everyone. Meet & Greets are a great way to prepare your pet and sitter for longer stays or first-time bookings. Read our tips for your first Meet & Greet.

You can message multiple sitters simultaneously to find the fastest available match. If you need care today or tomorrow, you can look for sitters with a "calendar last updated" notice on their profiles.
sitters on Rover set their own cancellation policy, which you can find on their profile under their contact information. Sitters may set a same-day, one-, three-, or seven-day cancellation policy. Cancelling within your sitter’s cancellation policy qualifies you for a full refund.
Same-day cancellations for recurring services, which include walks, drop-ins, and day care, follow the full refund policy. Otherwise, for pet boarding and house sitting, if you cancel after 12 pm on the applicable cancellation deadline, you’ll receive a 50% refund for the first seven days of the booking and a 100% refund for any remaining days.
If your sitter needs to cancel within seven days of the booking's start date, then our reservation protection will kick in. This means you will get a full refund and our support team will work with you to find a replacement sitter.
