“Margarita and Christian took excellent care of Charlie! We had great communication and they kept us updated on his stay. We highly recommend them and would hire them again to take care of Charlie!”
“Adriana is absolutely the best! My 12 year old chihuahua, Trudy, has never spent a night away from me. I needed someone to take care of her for three nights and she can be quite any around strangers. But it could not have gone better. Adriana sent me pictures a number of times each day. I could see how happy and relaxed Trudy was. I am so happy. I will definitely use her again.”
“David was great with my dog Boo, providing updates every day and even taking him to the dog park! Will definitely be reaching out for future dogsitting needs!”
“Juliana is an amazing dog sitter! She is so kind, has a gentle demeanor and it is so evident that her and her whole family love animals. Juliana also has great communication skills and updated me daily with pictures. The daily updates really gave me peace of mind and I felt that my little fur baby was on a vacation being in her care. I would book Juliana again in a heartbeat.”
“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.”
“Meilin was fantastic! She took very well care of my older dog Lotus. She gave updates several times a day and answered immediately to my texts. I felt completely at ease knowing that he was with her while I was away.”
“Gaby took very good care of my baby Kobe and he seemed to really like her! He even gave her some love saying good bye when I picked him up, so sweet! She also sent some pics of him while I was gone which I really appreciated!”
“Dominique is wonderful, kind, communicative, super responsive, and a joy to work with. We have a nervous, 95 lb pup and I’m a nervous dog mom - Dominique took so much time to make us both feel comfortable for Saint’s first boarding - sending tons of pictures and always staying in touch. Dominique also walks Saint once a week (so we could make sure our nervous pup was prepared for this boarding) and Saint absolutely adores them. Saint almost never gets excited to see “strangers”, but when Dominique comes to pick her up, Saint thinks she’s hanging out with her best friends. There’s days Saint knows Dominique will be coming for her walk, and she’ll sit by the door waiting, given how Saint is super shy, seeing her look forward to a friend coming over like this makes me so happy. Dominique knows dogs, with a background in dog training, they knew exactly how to make Saint feel comfortable in no time at all (Dominique was “friends” with Saint within five minutes of her first walk!!). We would recommend Dominique without hesitation to anyone in the area.”
“Jessica was so amazing with my Chloe all weekend! She gave frequent updates with photos & was very responsive. I would definitely recommend her if you want your fur baby to be well taken care of!”
“Josh was amazing with our boy Hades! He kept us updated throughout our trip, took Hades on long walks, and kept him by his side for his entire 5 day stay (Hades has separation anxiety, so we really appreciate the amount of attention Josh gave him to keep him calm!!) Hades came home happy and sleepy, we will definitely be booking with Josh again! Thank you!”
“Jelfri was amazing with Lottie. It was my first time leaving her with a sitter, so I was a little nervous, but he made me feel completely comfortable. He was very communicative and clearly really caring with her. I could tell she was in great hands. I would absolutely trust him with her again and highly recommend him. Thank you!”
“John and Madeleine were extraordinary caretakers for our dog June while we were away for two weeks. They consistently sent detailed updates and clearly made every effort to make sure that our dog was comfortable, walked regularly, and loved. They even worked on keeping up with June’s training for leash pulling and took her to the vet for an appointment to check on something that ended up being a non-issue. We would gladly board with them again!”
“We have entrusted Peggy & Anthony to care for our dog on 3 separate occasions, making this review well overdue! They consistently kept us informed with updates while we were away, and it was clear that our dog, Titan, thoroughly enjoyed his time with them each visit. We would not hesitate to recommend Peggy & Anthony as pet sitters. They are amazing.”
“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!”
“We had such a wonderful experience with Bruno and Victoria! From the very beginning, they were incredibly communicative and made us feel completely at ease. Daily walks were provided for both my Yorkies and I was sent lots of photos and videos, which gave me so much peace of mind while being away. Leaving our dogs with someone new can always feel a little scary. However, Bruno’s friendly, kind, and caring nature immediately reassured us that our dogs were in great hands. I highly recommend them to anyone looking for a reliable, thoughtful, and attentive dog sitter!”
“Kristhel is absolutely fantastic! She is amazing with my Duke! He gets super excited to see her each time! And I always get the cutest pictures of my baby when he’s with her! Always a pleasure!!!”
“Sarah was fantastic with boarding our two kitties for over a week! She was very communicative and flexible, sent us lots of updates and pictures, and even gave our cat medicine with no problems at all. After a few days they were snuggling with her and having a great time! We would definitely recommend her and use her again as a sitter.”
“James was a thorough, kind and responsible pet sitter for our dog Perry! He gave me updates throughout the day and was so kind to us when we needed a few extra days of dogsitting. I highly recommend him to anyone who wants a caring, compassionate and loving dog sitter!”

Ashley was amazing and my dog really loved her! 2 weeks without my dog and I can’t imagine a more comfortable setup, she was so well cared for and happy when I picked her up. Ashley kept me up to date with photos, videos, etc. I’ve never felt so comfortable with my dog in someone else’s care and this was the most time we spent apart in 10 years! Thank you so much Ashley!
Leaving your dog with anyone is super nerve-racking and can give you a lot of anxiety, but when I tell you that all of my anxiety and nervousness went away instantly when me and my dog Tyson met Michelle and Michael. Tyson immediately fell in love with them you can tell he was so happy to meet them, it’s almost as if he already knew them. It’s something about their energy and presence. It’ll be a blessing for your dog to stay with them. Tyson is a 75 pound mostly pitbull/Labrador, so of course with our size dogs we’re always a little more nervous and worried if dog sitters are going to take care of your dog the way you want them to and I can say that Michael and Michelle went above and beyond, they sent me pictures and updated me how he was doing daily. And when I picked up Tyson, he was at peace, He didn’t have any anxiety. He was really calm and happy. You can tell that he had a great stay and was well taken care of. I will highly recommend Michelle and Michael. Also their home is super clean ! Thank you again for the awesome service and for showing all the love to my boy while I was away. Tyson will be back.
Jessica was INCREDIBLE with our senior dog Frida! We had more than a few unexpected changes before boarding and she was super flexible and helpful through it all. She also went out of her way to accommodate Frida while she was there, arranging and providing everything she might need, and giving Frida her medication daily. Jessica also sent multiple pictures throughout the week, which was great and kept us relaxed and happy knowing she was in loving hands. We’ll definitely book with her again!
Not sure where to begin.. Irina is AMAZING! She was so caring of my dog, so attentive and kind. Provided me with constant updates throughout each day with lots of fun photos and videos. Genuinely went above and beyond from every aspect. When I got my dog back he was super clean, healthy, happy and smiling which even moreso tells me he really enjoyed his stay with her. I can go on and on about how great our experience was, but you should definitely try it for yourselves and see. Thank you again so much for all the love and care you provided us! 💕
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.

Frequently asked questions about Rover
The average cost of Dog Boarding in Richmond Hill is $39 per night as of October 2026. Most bookings cost between $37 and $67 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 October 2026, there are 13,918 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 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.
94% of sitters in Richmond Hill 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 Richmond Hill home-away-from-home, 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 , 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 .
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.
