“I've booked Kristin a few times, and she has always been very kind and helpful, especially with the special accommodations that my cat needs. I feel she provided a good environment for boarding my cat. In particular, I appreciate her being very helpful and communicative after my cat had a medical episode and needed to be taken to the ER. Her care made a difficult moment easier to go through.”
“Denis was absolutely wonderful with my energetic orange boy cat! He was great at communicating every day and noting anything in terms of behavior which helped make me feel calm during the early days. Not entirely sure who’s vacation was better 🐈🤍 Would highly recommend him and will definitely be rebooking in the future!”
“This was my first time leaving my boys with a dog sitter so I was super nervous about it. After meeting Vanessa for the first time I felt at ease right away. She's super friendly and super knowledgeable. My boys were so happy and well behaved with her. I was gone for the weekend so I left my boys with Vanessa for a few days. Throughout the weekend, Vanessa sent me updates on them via photos and videos which was really nice of her. She will definitely be my go to sitter for my boys.”
“Royce's 2nd time staying with Juliana and her family and we couldn't have been happier. They were able to get through our old man's tough exterior and his level of comfort while staying with them in their home showed in the pictures she sent. Juliana and her family not only has our trust, but most importantly Royce's!”
“Margarita and Cristian took wonderful care of my dog, Gracey, while I was away for 10 days abroad. They sent pictures and let me know how she was doing. I provided notes and suggestions about Gracey as she has anxiety and she managed to adjust really well in their environment and with the other dogs that had overlapped with Gracey’s stay. I look forward to when I need to have Gracey stay with them in the future.”
“As always, Luna had an amazing time with Adriana. She takes such loving care of her and shares the sweetest photos. Adriana does such an amazing job caring for Luna that I have never worried once while away. I could not possiblly recommend her more. She is amazing!”
“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!”
“If I could give 10 stars I would. Iwona was a god send, her, her family and dog were so lovely and I could tell how much Elvis loved being there. She took such good care of him and stayed in touch with me, sending photos and updates every day of my trip. If she is available for any of my trips in the future I will without a doubt bring Elvis to her.”
“I left my poodle-mix named Scruffy, with Megan and Brian so that I could go away with my husband for a few days to visit family. They were incredibly kind and trustworthy, and I could tell as soon as a I met them that they would be good sitters. Their own dog, Duke, is a good-natured and well behaved dog, and my dog really liked him. Their home is super clean with a cheerful and loving atmosphere. They took such good care of Scruffy, I could see when I picked him up that he had been happy and well cared for. Megan and Brian had also sent me photos of my dog throughout while I was away, which I really appreciated. As soon as you meet Megan and Brian you can see that they are genuinely good people who truly love dogs. I give my highest recommendation to them, and they will always be my first choice to sit my dog when I am traveling somewhere that I cannot bring him. 10 out of 10.”
“Last minute booking and I’m so happy they were able to take care of my baby boy! Thank you so much taking him in, keeping him safe and happy. If I could give you 10 stars I would. Thank you again”
“John is a great Rover while he watched Pisco for a couple of days. He responds quickly, and we enjoyed his daily pics on how Pisco is doing. Thank you!”
“I’m so happy I found Emily! My dog tends to be pretty high energy and which makes me a little nervous. Emily was awesome— she communicated with me and sent me photos through out Harlem’s stay. He was very calm and well taken care of. I will certainly be booking again!!”
“Bruno and Victoria took excellent care of our dog. They are reliable and is clear that they have a genuine passion for animals. We received daily updates from photos and videos, and it made us happy knowing our dog was having a good time while we were outside the country. Overall very communicative and went above and beyond to make sure to meet all of our dog's needs were met. They’re truly probably the best dog sitters we’ve encountered yet, and hoping to use their services again in the future!”
“Butterscotch had such an amazing time with Sam. We got daily updates and felt really assured knowing our baby was having as much of a vacation as we were. Sam was quick to respond to our every need and was extremely accommodating. Butterscotch already got her next visit booked!”
“Took great care of StarFox! I know my dog enjoyed his stay and I appreciate all the time spent with him playing and walking. My dog had a prior injury and he got the best care and attention possible, even a visit to the vet, medical instructions, everything was taken care of. My dog was taken care of like he was family! My dog is a clever fox, so he can be a handful sometimes. Fantastic job and would definitely book again when I’m out of town. Great photos too and updates!”
“Jasmil once again was amazing with Papa! She and her family cared for him as if he was their own :) she is so patient with him and sends the best updates throughout his stay. I will always recommend Jasmil!!”

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!
This was my third time leaving Sandwich with Omar, and Sandwich appears to have grown very comfortable with him and his partner. They’re both always excited to welcome Sandwich into their home, which is like a second home for my dog. I can be at ease while on vacation knowing that Sandwich is being taken care of and snuggled! ❤️ Sandwich can’t wait for his next stay!
Vanessa was an amazing dog sitter! She was incredibly accommodating when we needed to extend our dog’s stay and made the whole process so easy. She was caring, flexible, and treated our dog like family. We really appreciated her kindness and excellent care. We highly recommend Vanessa! 🐾❤️

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.
