“It was my first time leaving Cotton with a sitter after a couple of years so I was not sure if he will adjust to being in a foreign environment with strangers however after the first update and pictures I could see that Margarita is a friendly and caring sitter and he was at ease. I received frequent updates and pictures as details on how he was behaving. I will highly recommend Margarita & Christian when considering to leave your furry friend they will be in a safe environment and will be well taken care of. Communication from beginning to end was great and I will definitely use their service in the future.”
“Iwona was great with Mason! Really appreciated how well he looked upon pick up. It was clear she took the time to groom his face while he was in her care. He was a very happy and content little boy in her care.”
“Kristin is absolutely fantastic. She was quick with her reply, extremely communicative throughout my dog’s stay and most importantly my dog came back very happy. I would highly recommend Kristin and plan on using her again.”
“Sam and her family hosted our cockapoo Diamond for a week. Working with Sam was an amazing experience from the first day we inquired! Diamond's stay was amazing, he had lots of fun which we could tell by all the photos that were sent to us. He was loved and taken very good care of for the week. Sam is also a great communicator which was very important to us because Diamond can be a little particular and a picky eater. Sam kept us informed about how Diamond was eating and how he was adapting to his new environment. Hands down we give Sam 10 stars🌟!”
“My pug Charlie had another wonderful time with Abbie and Peachy. Charlie feels really safe with Abbie even though she is a little anxious and Peachy is a great friend that helps Charlie to stay active and socialized especially in this cold weather. Outstanding hosts!”
“Awesome dog sitter! Sent me pictures and gave me updates everyday. I’m not sure my dog even wanted to come home after staying with them. Will definitely use them again.”
“Michael watched our dog June for one night in preparation for a longer stay and was very communicative and helpful! We’re looking forward to having June stay with him again.”
“This was our first time using Rover and Juliana’s service, and we were nervous, like leaving a first grader at day care for the first time! We met with Juliana way before our boarding and the meet and greet went very well and Jin Jin was already comfortable around her and at the backyard. Juliana was very calm and friendly, very gentle and I immediately felt that Jin Jin would be comfortable as she is very anxious with noise and prefers a quiet environment. Jin Jin stayed with Juliana and her mother for over a week and we got photos and updates and Juliana was responsive to my questions. I eventually felt relieved knowing Jin Jin was doing well and that she was in good hands and well taken care of. When Jin Jin got home, she acted all normal and the experience with boarding didn’t traumatize her and I could tell that she enjoyed the time at Juliana’s. I am glad I found Juliana and would highly recommend her to anyone looking for a reliable dog sitter.”
“I'm always a little nervous leaving my elderly dauchsund with back problems, but Adriana was beyond wonderful. She is kind, attentive, and knowledgeable. Aside from the adorable daily photoshoots, she took amazing care of my dog. My pup will absolutely be a repeat guest of Adriana <3. I 100% recommend. As a repeat user of Rover's service, this was the best experience. Thank you, Adriana!”
“I am so thankful Charlie was available for a last minute booking/ boarding for our dog, Bibi. After communicating our needs, we knew Charlie was a great fit. Our dog felt right at home, and Charlie communicated frequently throughout her time there, including sending picture and video updates unprompted. We would love the opportunity to re-book with Charlie in the future.”
“This was Timmy’s second stay with Denis and his wife, and once again, everything was absolutely perfect. Timmy stayed with them for 12 nights, and from the moment we dropped him off, it was clear he remembered them and felt comfortable right away. He was calm, relaxed, and not nervous at all, which gave us so much peace of mind while we were away. Denis and his wife truly treat Timmy like family. They showed him so much love, care, and attention throughout his stay, and it honestly felt like he was at his second home. We knew he was in great hands the entire time. We’re so grateful to have found sitters we completely trust, and we will absolutely continue booking with them in the future. Highly recommend to anyone looking for kind, reliable, and attentive pet sitters.”
“Steven was absolutely amazing with Cookie! Photos were shared daily and Steven was very responsive! I could see that Cookie really enjoyed herself there I will be using his services again in the near future!”
“Vanessa dog boarded my cocker spaniel for 3 nights. In that time I received daily updates (with photos) and top notch care. Shea was very well groomed and given a lot of love and attention. Vanessa even treated a skin issue Shea had and returned her brand new! I would highly recommend her in the future!”
“This was our first time using Rover, and Emily made it such a great experience. She took great care of Lolah from April 1–11 and sent photo updates that made me feel at ease while I was away. Lolah was clearly in good hands. I would definitely book with her again—highly recommend!”
“David and Marcelle (his partner) were fantastic! They understood Dante's quirks and just let him be a dog, which definitely put him at ease. David and Marcelle were able to get Dante's leash reactivity under control, of course, with the help of Nuno their rescue pup. I believe it was all of the cuddles Dante received that definitely made him a more confident dog when he came home. David was highly communicative, with a bit of wit to add, sending me several updates a day with photos. I highly recommend David, and look forward to boarding Dante with him again!”
“Lisa was once again amazing with Kai. He is very comfortable with her. Lisa made sure to update us often and sent many pics and videos of Kai during his stay. I will always recommend Lisa and will continue booking with her! Thank you!!”
“Judith was great with my dog. She kept me updated on his experience via pictures and text. She was very friendly and inviting. I felt like I've know her for years. Her entire family was involved with my pet. She bathed my dog with the most amazing shampoo. It seemed to last for a week.”
“Qin En took good care of my cat Echo while I was out of town. She sent me multiple pictures/videos a day so I can enjoy my vacation while making sure my cat is doing well. She genuinely loves cats and actually any animals! 😂 highly recommend 😊”
“Great experience with Grace. She has a fenced backyard that the dogs can play in. She provides daily picture updates and tells u how your dog is doing. Very accommodating to any requests. Would definitely book again!”

We’ve used Ning multiple times to care of Oreo, and every time has been excellent. She sends lots of photos and updates, which gives us great peace of mind while we’re away. Oreo was recently prescribed medication, and Ning did a fantastic job making sure he took it. Thanks again Ning! 🫶🏻
Margarita and Cristian were fantastic! They took great care of my dog and were attentive throughout the entire stay. They kept me updated, which gave me complete confidence that my dog was in good hands. I wouldn’t hesitate to book with them again and highly recommend them to anyone looking for reliable and caring sitters.
Mehnaz was the absolute best. We had to be out of town and with only a couple days notice, Mehnaz was available and took excellent care of Chi-Chi. Chi-Chi was very nervous to be away from the family and Mehnaz was able to calm her down and relate to her very fast. We were also late picking her up due to the long distance we were driving and unforeseen traffic conditions, Mehnaz was very accommodating and understanding. We really appreciate how well Mehnaz took care of Chi Chi.
Amy was such an amazing caretaker for Apollo! We needed someone to watch him during a long trip, and since he had never stayed with her before, she generously offered not one, but two meet-and-greets. The first was to meet us and Apollo, and the second allowed him to get comfortable in her home before his stay. From the very beginning, Amy was incredibly sweet, kind, and welcoming. Her family was just as excited to have Apollo and made him feel right at home. She took the time to listen to all of our instructions and learn about Apollo’s preferences, and she truly embraced having him as part of her family while we were away. Throughout his stay, she kept me updated with pictures and messages about how he was eating, sleeping, adjusting, and whether he seemed anxious. Her communication was excellent, and she was always so accommodating and thoughtful. Apollo was happy, comfortable, and clearly well cared for, which gave me so much peace of mind while traveling. I trusted Amy completely and would absolutely have Apollo stay with her again. I highly recommend her to anyone looking for a loving, reliable, and communicative sitter!
I left my two dogs with Ma and her family for a 10-day trip, and they took excellent care of them. They not only fed and cared for my dogs, but also spent quality time playing with them and regularly sent me photos and videos, which gave me great peace of mind while I was away. What impressed me most was how attentive Ma was to my dogs' behavior. It was clear that she spent a lot of time with them and genuinely cared about their well-being. During their stay, both of my dogs developed diarrhea. Ma notified me promptly, kept me updated on their condition, and worked closely with me on how to treat them. When I became concerned that one of my dogs might need veterinary care, she was ready to take him to my veterinarian immediately. She also carefully administered his medication, and he recovered well. Knowing that my dogs were in such caring and capable hands allowed me to enjoy my trip with much less worry. I highly recommend Ma and her family, and I will definitely book with them again in the future.
Judith is one of the most reliable sitter i have met. My baby Ace was safe, comfortable, and well cared for while i was away. I really enjoyed the consistency and reliability in communication along with the daily updates/videos. I am in awe! I really can’t say enough about how great Judith and her family was to Ace. This was my first time leaving Ace alone and i was hesitant, but her warmth and love of animals was apparent from our first meet. Phenomenal job taking care of Ace Judith 🤎🐩🙏🏾 I will absolutel be booking again!!!
We needed to find a new Rover sitter and decided to reach out to Janie. After a quick meet and greet, we were confident Momo would be in good hands. We were only gone for the weekend, but we received plenty of photo and video updates from Janie. Momo got lots of love and plenty of playtime. Janie treated Momo like she was her own pup and we greatly appreciated her care and attention!
I can’t say enough great things about this dog boarding experience! From the moment we arrived, it was clear my dog was in caring, capable hands. What really stood out was how she took the time to care for my dog at her own pace, making sure she felt comfortable and safe the entire stay. I came back to a happy, pooped out pup, which says everything. Highly recommend!

Frequently asked questions about Rover
The average cost for Dog Boarding in Richmond Hill on Rover is $39.44 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 13,932 sitters on Rover offering Dog Boarding across Richmond Hill. 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.
95% of Richmond Hill 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 Richmond Hill 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 Richmond Hill 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 Richmond Hill.
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 Richmond Hill 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.
