“My dog had a great time with Jennifer, Thomas and their kids. They’ shared photos of her getting petted on the couch and going on walks. She was exhausted when she came home after having had a very fun day with this lovely family.”
“Nicole and family were amazing!! Rummi was treated as a member of the family as soon as she arrived. Nicole provided regular and detailed updates as well as adorable photos. Rummi is wiped out from all the fun she had during her stay. We will definitely be booking with Nicole again! Highly recommend.”
“Sean was absolutely great and I will definitely be using him again for future bookings! He was easy to communicate with both leading up to and during our boarding. My two dogs clearly were well cared for and came home happy and tired!”
“Clementine had a great stay with Gabe! I was kept up to date the entire weekend on how she was doing. She got along great with his pups and my fiancée and I were able to enjoy our weekend away.”
“Nicole was fantastic—very communicative when booking and took the time to show me around and answer all my questions when I was dropping Harper off. She also stayed in touch regularly and sent lots of photos. Harper had a great time and would love to stay with her again. I would highly recommend Nicole!”
“Cipriana & Pamela took amazing care of our pup. They provided lots of updates & pics, which were super appreciated while we were missing the little guy. He came home happy & pleasantly tuckered.”
“Bambou had the best time playing in the garden with her doggie friends, and snuggling up and watching tv in the evenings! We loved getting the daily photos of her enjoying her holiday with Jane! :) xxx”
“Rosalie was very kind to our senior dog, Bob. She has a lovely, clean home with a private, enclosed back yard for him to roam around. I would hire her again and recommend her to others.”
“Communication with Victoria is amazing. We met before and she spent plenty of time listening to what I wanted and expected. She told me exactly what she could and would do. The daily updates and pictures are long and informative and I really felt like I knew what was going on, even across the Atlantic. She is super friendly and really understands dogs. She even maintained my training regiment (probably better than I was doing it). I hope to keep using her over and over!”
“We had a family medical issue and was able to book Jacqueline quickly. Our dogs are both rescues and it matters a great deal to us who we bring into their lives. Jacqueline immediately made us, and our dogs, feel comfortable and within 5 minutes of being with them, our eldest was resting in her lap. Jaqueline sent constant photos and updates and we are very grateful to have found her and will for sure book her again. TY again, Jaqueline. That last note was from the pups!”
“Kate has a very warm demeanor and my first impression when I brought our dog Astrid over to her house for a meet and greet before boarding, was that she would care for our dog as if she were her own. Astrid is usually quite anxious when she’s first introduced to a new person and a new environment, but she appeared to be more at ease much quicker with Kate at her house than she typically is. Kate sent us regular pictures and updates, was very flexible about our schedule for pickup and drop-off, prompt and easy to communicate with, and we didn’t worry about Astrid at all. We will certainly reach out to Kate again when planning future boarding accommodations for our sweet Astrid.”
“Second time booking with Volha and still very pleased. Dogs were well cared for and far less-stressed upon pickup than when I use a kennel. Volha sent text and photo updates to let me know my dogs were happy and healthy. Cannot recommend enough! I will use her services again in the future.”
“This was my first time boarding a 3month old puppy, and Loretta and her partner were so fantastic! They took such sweet care of her, she was never alone and loved her time with Paprika and Akira! It was such sweet peace of mind knowing my girl was safe and happy. Thanks Loretta 💕🐾🦴”
About: Now that I have graduated college and I am living back home! I have a lot of time to do one of my favorite things which is to care for animals! I have experience rescuing dogs and giving them loving homes. In the past I have trained with a dog trainer to get a better sense on how to better work with dogs. I am an early bird, I usually start my days at 5:30! I make sure to get some exercise and take a morning walks. I have a very strong ritual of waking up early and being active. I usually take the afternoons to read and prepare my applications for JD/PHD programs. In between these two things in my schedule, I have a lot of free time that I would love to spend with your pets! I also do not mind traveling to different boroughs if needed!! In my own home, I have a very large living room space, which gives pets spaces to stretch, lay out, play and or explore. In clients home I always make sure to know what boundaries/ areas are off limits for the pets and respect that.
“Janice took great care of our almost one year old golden retriever on a recent weekend stay. She was caring, thorough, and only takes on one pet at a time so she can provide one on one care and attention. Ellie loved getting to know Janice’s two dogs and cat and enjoying the beautiful fall weather from the relaxing farm atmosphere. Janice sent frequent updates and photos throughout Ellie’s stay, which made it easy to relax and enjoy our time away. I would definitely book her again!”
“Amy was nice when I first met her for a meet and greet with my dogs. Both were happy and comfortable with her. We communicated through text and she sent me updates to include pictures.”
“I have always been very happy with Maria watching our dogs. I have used her any time we go on vacation and my daughter is a regular customer now too. The thing I like best ( and my dogs like too) is this is not a kennel- it’s a home that they become part of the family. My dogs never liked kennels and became very upset whenever I brought them to one. At Maria’s they jumped out of the car and were happy to be there - like visiting a relative home. I’m very glad I found Maria and most of all my dogs are very glad too!”

Frequently asked questions about Rover
As of June 2026, there are 299 sitters on Rover offering Dog Boarding across Ruby. 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 Ruby 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 Ruby 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 Ruby 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 Ruby.
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 Ruby 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.
