“Raisa took wonderful care of our dog, Bonita! We could tell Bonita had a fun and comfortable stay, and she almost did not want to leave. Raisa went above and beyond by giving Bonita extra home-cooked dog food and comforting her during loud noises and thunderstorms. Bonita also loved spending time with her daughter and husband too. We are so thankful for the love and care Raisa and her family gave Bonita. Highly recommend and would definitely book again!”
“Charlette was wonderful!!! Nikey does well with new people, but can get nervous in new environments. Charlette treated him with kindness and patience. She was able and willing to work with his normal routine and sent plenty of updates and pictures, which helped me feel at ease. Nikey warmed up to her, her home, and her family quickly. We are so happy to have connected with Charlette and will absolutely request services again!!!”
“Nichole took such good care of our dog, Juniper! She was so well cared for and enjoyed playing with Nichole's dog. Nichole sent lots of pictures and updates and even went as far as to clean her ears when she saw they were irritated. We could not recommend her more!”

“Our dog Astro has stayed with Courtney twice now. I could tell from the start that he was very comfortable in Courtney's home. She knows so much about dogs and animals, its very reassuring. She is super accommodating for drop-offs and pickups. The first time we picked-up Astro, he didn't want to leave! After this past stay he was very tired and sleepy. We could tell he had a great time playing! We will 100% use Courtney again!”
“This is my first time using Rover and Erica took care of my 7monthold puppy so well and giving me pics and videos everyday! She is super experienced in dog care and I definitely recommend her!”
“Leaving my 2 pups with Kimberly was the best decision I made!! She was an incredible sitter and kept me up to date on their activities with texts and pictures, truly it made my time away so much easier. I knew they were in great hands with her and her beautiful family!! The kids were so helpful and wonderful helping looking after and playing with them! I would fully recommend using her services to anyone if you are looking for a sitter and hope to be able to use her again soon, she was wonderful!! My girls and I can’t thank you enough, Kimberly and family!!”
“Mindy and her family were wonderful with my Livi! I was able to enjoy my vacation knowing she was loved and cared for. I highly recommend Mindy and will definitely use her again!”
“This is my second time using rover and find it a little scary how my ludo will react to being in a different household with other dogs and cats. Miranda was very reassuring and sent me more than enough pictures of how well ludo was doing when getting comfortable in a new environment. I highly rec booking with Miranda as she is a great care taker! Could not be happier that ludo was watched with such care!”
“Racheal was terrific with my min-pin, Raina! She was given lots of comfy places to rest and got along with Racheal's dog well. Racheal has a fenced in yard as well as land behind that for walks and she took her along on outings as well. Raina seemed very happy and relaxed when I picked her up. Great experience all around, recommend her highly.”
About: I have past experience working for Wag where I walked a number of different dogs over the course of about a year and a half. I also have experience with raising, training, and caring for my own pups as well as my two cats! I work as a freelancer currently, so I will have plenty of time to stop in and care for your pet any day of the week you need me! I can accommodate any and all needs that your pets have while you are away from home! In my experience with Wag as a dog walker, I entered and re-secured many homes while owners were away.
“My cat Vlad was well taken care of and loved with Julio! I got consistent updates and pictures of how he was doing during his stay, and would recommend Julio to anyone needing a trust worthy sitter for their furry friend! I’m excited to continue using his services in the future!”
“Charlene is a kind, calm and pleasant person. She took amazing care of Lenny for an overnight at her place. Charlene was very easy to communicate with and she sent sweet photos and videos of Lenny’s stay. I would HIGHLY recommend Charlene if you are looking for a loving place (with a fenced yard) for your dog to stay. Thanks so much!”
“Vidya was wonderful with our 1 year old rescue dog. We got daily updates and pictures. You could tell she truly cares about the dogs she sits and makes them comfortable. She also kept our dog busy and occupied. We would highly recommend her and use her again!”
“Genevieve and her son Alex were simply fantastic. From the initial meet and greet, and test run (night over stay to familiarize our dog with their space) they were kind, caring and very professional. Kiedis stayed for 10 days while we were on vacation and Genevieve always gave in depth updates around the stay accompanied by many photos. Kiedis is dog aggressive so they ensured that the space was safe for him, especially during walks in a dog busy neighborhood. They really care about providing the best care for the dogs they are looking after first and foremost. We will always trust our boy kiedis with Genevieve and Alex any time we have to travel.”

The average cost of Dog Boarding in Rapids is $42 per night as of November 2026. Most bookings cost between $24 and $55 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 318 sitters on Rover offering Dog Boarding across Rapids. 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.
95% of sitters in Rapids 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 Rapids 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 Rapids.
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 Rapids. On Rover:
- 91% of sitters can help with special care needs
- 95% can help with giving oral medications or injections
- 95% 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 Rapids 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.
