“This was my first time ever using Rover and I couldn’t be happier. Vanessa was great and took really good care of my dog Jax. I could tell he was very happy when he was there especially when he was playing with Oreo and Moreno!! Vanessa is a great and trustworthy person and definitely will be going thru her again 😊”
“Margarita and Cristian are truly the best!! My goldendoodle, Cooper, loves his stay with them. He comes back home happy after his stay and you can tell he is truly loved by Margarita and Cristian. Margarita is very accommodating to a few emergencies that have popped up for me and is willing to work with you to give your pet the best accommodation. She also provides updates on your pet and provides pictures. I highly recommend booking Margarita and Cristian as your pets sitter!! You won’t regret it!”
“Vanessa was amazing ! I was away for a week for vacation and she eased my stress about leaving my Sonny. I loved that she works from home and was able to give my dog the attention he needs . She also sent me updates and pictures everyday which helped ease my anxiety. This was my first time leaving my dog with a Sitter and i am beyond pleased. I will definitely be using Vanessa's services in the future ?”
“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.”
“Amy was so pleasant from beginning to end! Very good communication and was kind enough to send daily updates and photos of our pup, which was very reassuring for us as first-time Rover users. I would 100% rebook with Amy and highly recommend her to anyone who needs a dog sitter.”
“I just love the way she cared for my pet Dusty, it was his first time with her and she managed it. In the Beginning he was a little difficult at the end he improved greatly I could see the changes in him at home. I would highly recommend her to anyone. I would consider her again.”
“Iwona took wonderful care of our dog while we were away and gave us real peace of mind. She kept us updated throughout the weekend and sent photos, which we always appreciate. Our dog was happy, well cared for, and clearly comfortable with her. We would absolutely book with her again and highly recommend her to anyone looking for a reliable and thoughtful dog sitter!”
“Kristin was so wonderful with my cat Maia! Kristin accepted my request quickly, was really friendly and sent me video and photo updates of Maia throughout the week. Maia looked really happy too! So grateful to Kristin and will be requesting her again in the future to watch Maia. Thank you Kristin!”
“Consider them my dog’s second family. I leave her with them full knowing she will be loved and spoiled. Their daily pictures show how she thrives in their environment. Thanks again beagle fam!”
“Anky was absolutely incredible with Greta! I was a little nervous about having someone watch a puppy since they can be such a handful, but Anky was amazing from the start. She treated Greta like her own, gave her so much love and attention, and made sure she had all the care she needed! which is a lot at this age! We felt completely at ease knowing Greta was in such good hands. I would highly recommend Anky to anyone!”
“I have a 2 year old high energy Lab. Tanu took great care of her. Plenty of activities and great care. Posted lots of pictures and videos throughout to let us know how my dog was doing. Would use Tanu next time when i need someone to dog sit. Recommend 100%”
“Dane was great and took care of my pup well. The only thing is his place is not in DC anymore but he offers to pick up. My dog isn't usually comfortable riding with others do this would have just been a helpful heads up. Dane was so nice though that he allowed us to push our pick up time to later when we got a flat tire on the way back. Very kind and my dog seemed to have a happy day with him.”
“Irena was amazing with our Mocca. She was super responsive, sent lots of photos and took great care of him! They became besties in no time and I know he is looking forward to his next vacation with her.”
“We had such a great experience with Sam! She took wonderful care of my dog for 9 days and made the whole process completely stress-free. This was the longest time we’ve been away. She kept me updated every day with messages, photos or videos, which really gave me peace of mind while I was away. It was clear that my dog was happy, comfortable, and well cared for the entire time. I truly appreciated her kindness, reliability, and attention to detail. I would absolutely recommend her to anyone looking for someone trustworthy and caring to watch their pet!”
“Britany was amazing with Maddie! She sent pictures everyday and played with her outside. She even goes out of her way to pick up the dogs. Highly recommended and will continue to bring her back when I'm out of town.”
“Tiffany and Joel were my best experience on rover yet - they were very communicative about my dog, ensured he stayed active, shared tons of pictures, and kept a close eye on how he was doing at every point during his stay. Will definitely be requesting another stay with them!”
“John was great - Extremely responsive and kept me updated while my dog Ollie stayed with him. I gave so many instructions because Ollie has separation anxiety and John took them all very well. When I got Ollie back he was so calm and relaxed because John took such good care of him!”

Jonisha has been a pleasure. This is my second experience with her. Absolutely amazing experiences! I couldn’t have asked for a better dog sitter. She was incredibly caring, attentive, reliable, and treated my dog like her own. It gave me such peace of mind knowing my fur baby was in such loving and capable hands. Her professionalism and genuine love for animals truly stand out. I highly recommend her to anyone looking for someone trustworthy and compassionate. I will definitely be booking with her again!
My experience with Aritra was GREAT! He’s very professional and gathers all the info to care for your pup as if they are his own. He goes the extra mile with a meet-n-greet with his current dogs he is boarding to ensure all the dogs are comfortable and introduces your dog to the space before taking them in. He has a great dog run that is huge for a city setting and it is well taken care of and has all the play essentials. His boarding area is also very clean and maintained very well. I only had to bring my pup and her daily essentials. He takes great pride in his business and I would recommend everyone to check him out! He’s very communicative and updates you with great POV videos of the dogs playing. I definitely will be booking again! Thanks for taking such good care of my fur baby 😊
Ruth-Ann and Brandon are incredible, they took such great care of my boy, he was actually a little bit sad about leaving. They sent pictures and videos of him, so I could see how happy he was. They are also two of the nicest people you could ever meet. I cannot thank them or recommend them enough. If I ever need to board my boy again, I hope that they are available.
This is my third time booking with Tyler, and I’ll continue to do so! He is incredibly responsive, keeps me updated throughout the stay with photos, and, most importantly, my dog absolutely loves spending time with him. I always feel confident knowing my pup is in great hands. Highly recommend Tyler to anyone looking for a reliable, caring, and trustworthy sitter!
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 :)
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
Jacind was great with Milo! I needed someone to keep him overnight while I was busy with my daughter’s Sweet Sixteen, and she made everything so easy for me. She was very communicative, sent me pictures and updates throughout the night, and Milo seemed to warm up to her really quickly. I also really appreciated that she was able to pick Milo up from the venue and drop him back off the next morning. With everything I had going on that weekend, that was a huge help. I felt comfortable knowing Milo was in good hands, and I would definitely book with Jacind again!
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!
Our dog Sadie is a bit unpredictable in her old age, but Elle never missed a beat. Elle stayed in close contact with us about how Sadie was doing and followed our instructions. She was consistently positive and patient, which really stood out, even when Sadie was a bit more work than we expected. Sadie came home happy and her usual self, which we really appreciated. We would absolutely recommend Elle for boarding and dogsitting.
Abbie was fantastic watching our dog Mongchi overnight! She sent regular videos and pictures throughout the stay, so we always felt in the loop and could tell Mongchi was happy and comfortable in her care. He even got to play with her dog Peachy, and it was so sweet seeing them become friends — Mongchi had a blast! Drop-off and pick-up were both easy and stress-free. Abbie is communicative, caring, and it's obvious she genuinely loves the dogs she watches. We felt completely at ease leaving Mongchi with her. We'll definitely be booking with Abbie again!
Ingrid and her family are great host. They hosted Max for almost 2 weeks. They have Max lots of attention and love. She sent multiple pictures and videos every day while we were away. She communicates very well and quickly. Will continue to use Ingrid for upcoming trips and maybe check ins from time to time.
10/10 doesn’t even feel like enough! She is literally the BEST dog sitter ever. You can genuinely tell how much she cares about my dog and goes above and beyond every single time. She takes him out, gives him so much love and attention, and always makes sure he’s happy and comfortable. I never have to worry about him when he’s with her because I know he’s in the best hands. I’m so grateful I found someone I can trust with my baby. Highly, highly recommend her!!!
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!

The average cost of Dog Boarding in Saint Albans is $47 per night as of October 2026. Most bookings cost between $42 and $66 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 of October 2026, there are 13,742 sitters on Rover offering Dog Boarding across Saint Albans. 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 Saint Albans 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 Saint Albans 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 Saint Albans.
<b>Tip:</b> 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 Saint Albans 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.
