“David housed and took care of Elly while I was away for 15 days. He consistently updated me with photos and message about how Elly was doing, walked her regularly, and took her to the park numerous times. If Elly needs a sitter in the future, I hope David is available!”
“Margarita and Cris took good care of our dog. Margarita is very polite, kind and responsive. While we were away she texted us pictures and updates of our pup, which was a really thoughtful touch. We definitely recommend her !”
“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.”
“This was Timmy’s third stay with Denis and his wife, and at this point, they’ve truly become his home away from home. The moment we dropped him off, we knew he was in the best hands. What stands out most is the genuine love and care they show him. The daily photos and videos always make us smile because you can clearly see how comfortable, happy, and loved Timmy is. The cuddles, attention, and affection they give him are so heartfelt—it’s obvious they treat him like one of their own. Knowing Timmy is with people who care for him so deeply allows us to fully relax and enjoy our trip without any stress or worry. Denis and his wife are repeat sitters for life, and we’re incredibly grateful to have found them. We highly recommend them to anyone looking for kind, trustworthy, and truly exceptional pet sitters.”
“Juliana was easy to communicate with and super flexible when our flight time changed last minute causing us to come the night before originally planned. She sent pictures and took care of our Sadie. Would recommend.”
“This was my first time ever using a sitter to watch my pet and I must say that I am so glad that my first experience was with Kristin. She made sure that penny was comfortable and felt the same love that she gets at home. I’d definitely use and recommend Kristin’s services in the future. Thank you again”
“Vanessa made this a great experience. We were very pleased with the communication while we were away and how well she took care of our Peppy. We’d definitely recommend her to everyone.”
“Tiffany and Joel are the best! Me and my wife were visiting NY for a concert and didn’t really plan where we will leave our pet. We found Tiffany and Joel last minute and they were really accommodating , flexible and took a great care of our little putty! We will definitely use Tiffany and Joel if we visit NY next time!”
“Iwona was very attuned to my dog’s emotional needs and was always communicative and responsive. I wouldn’t doubt booking boarding with her again the next time I’m out of town.”
“Erica is the best. This was a very last minute booking and everyone was busy. She was the only one who said yes and it felt like it was meant to be. She took care of my dog very well and I will 100% book her in the future. Thank you Erica”
“I’m so happy I made the right choice and left my angel with Sam! She sent constant updates with pictures while we were on our vacation. My dog was very happy in each photo and was well taken care of. She even made sure she got her ear medication every day which was important. She got plenty of walks everyday and lots of playtime. I appreciate her dedication to making sure she feels at home. Zula blended in with her family seamlessly. I HIGHLY recommend Sam😊.”
“Ruth-Ann and Brandon are amazing!!! Our furries came home happy and excited from a week long adventure at their home. They sent us daily photos and videos (which kept us at ease since that was their first stay with Ruth-Ann and Brandon). We would definitely rebook them again in the future.”
“Jelfri and his family were so wonderful and made sure my dog came home happy and healthy! He needed meds and they were very on top of that and made sure to keep me updated on his health! Would highly recommend and will definitely be using him again !”
“Jasmil was AMAZING with our dog, Papa. She watched him for over a week and took the most amazing care of him. We felt Papa was so safe and cared for while with Jasmil and her family. Papa can be a high needs dog with medications and behavioral quirks but Jasmil was truly an angel with him!”
“Thank you so much for the last minute request, but you’ve taken care our little Baxter with such grace and ease, I truly appreciate the timely photo updates, I know he can be a bit mischievous and you guys handled him really well.”
“Anna was absolutely amazing! She watched our Goldendoodle, Zoie, for a full week and we couldn’t have asked for a better experience. She was incredibly reliable, communicative, and caring, and it was clear from the start that Zoie was in great hands. We had complete peace of mind while we were away, and came home to a very happy and well cared for dog. Zoie absolutely loved her, and we’ll definitely be using Anna again.”
“Thank you so much for your excellent work with my baby. Thank you for all the pictures and updates, that allowed me to enjoy my trip. Austin's was very happy. Thank you so much for everything!”
“Jennifer and her family made Frost feel at home while we were away for the holidays. She provided pictures, updates, and feedback. I will definitely keep Jennifer and her family in mind for future bookings!”
“Krystal took wonderful care of our dog, Joules, while we were away for two weeks. We were initially nervous about leaving our older dog for that long, but Krystal made the experience completely stress-free. She kept us updated regularly, gave Joules plenty of attention and long walks, and clearly cared about his well-being. We came home to a happy dog and couldn't be more pleased. We highly recommend Krystal!”

I’m very happy to have found Juliana to watch our dog Benji while my husband and I went on our overdue honeymoon trip. We got updates and photos of him during his stay and he looked like he didn’t even miss us! We will definitely continue booking with her in the future!
Aviel was amazing with our large, leash reactive dog. We left her for 11 nights and knew she was in great hands the whole time. He took excellent care of her and she warmed up to him right away. He sent lots of pics/video updates throughout. We would highly recommend Aviel to anyone! His neighborhood is also very calm and quiet, which is great for a reactive dog like mine :)
Anna was absolutely amazing! She watched our Goldendoodle, Zoie, for a full week and we couldn’t have asked for a better experience. She was incredibly reliable, communicative, and caring, and it was clear from the start that Zoie was in great hands. We had complete peace of mind while we were away, and came home to a very happy and well cared for dog. Zoie absolutely loved her, and we’ll definitely be using Anna again.
Vanessa was open honest and personable. She shared how Max did each day and what he ate and did not eat. Max was happy to see me when I returned but he continued to show his affection for Vanessa. This showed me that he liked her as well. Thank you Vanessa for taking such good care of me and Max
Kiara has been our go-to sitter for years! She always takes such great care of our furbabies and has no problem handling their quirks and schedules (bonded pair, reactive, special diets). One of our dogs developed several illnesses later in life and Kiara was a pro at handling medication, monitoring seizure episodes, and keeping us constantly updated.
Jessica was wonderful with Chai! She kept us updated every day with messages and photos, which gave us so much peace of mind while we were away. It was clear from the updates that Chai was comfortable, happy, and having such a great time with Jessica and Luna. We really appreciated how well she cared for him and treated him like part of the family. We would absolutely trust Jessica with Chai again and highly recommend her! ❤️🐾
Laura was very good with my boy, it was our first time being away from him for a few days and we were very nervous but Laura assured me that my boy was in good hands and indeed he was. I even ask to extend my baby stay for one more day and she was willing to accommodate as well. Will definitely book in the future!
Dominique was awesome with my pup. We did a meet and great with my dog before hand which was very considerate and reassuring. My pup was well taken care of while boarding. She was punctual with time, sent many photos and messaged promptly with all updates. I would most definitely recommend Dominique and comfortably have my pup board again in the future.
Jahim was wonderful with my dog and I couldn’t have asked for a better sitter! He was caring, responsible, and very attentive. What I especially appreciated was how accommodating and flexible he was when I had a last-minute change in my schedule. He was very understanding and worked with me to make sure everything went smoothly. He kept me updated by sending me photos and how she was doing. I felt completely comfortable knowing my dog was in good hands. I highly recommend Jahim to anyone looking for a reliable, caring, and flexible dog sitter. I would definitely book with him again! Thank you, Jahim!

Frequently asked questions about Rover
The average cost for Dog Boarding in Richmond Hill on Rover is $39.44 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 13,931 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.
