“Our dog was well taken care of and seemed very content and happy under Sandra and Lee’s care. Sandra kept us updated daily about Moose and sent pictures. I’d definitely seek their services in the future.”
“She is truly amazing. She instantly made me feel at ease leaving our baby. Very communicative, daily updates with photos and videos. She goes above and beyond. Our baby suffers from allergies, and she was great with keeping up medications and updates on symptoms. It was his first birthday not at home with us, and she went out of her way to ensure his day was special and got him special birthday treats. She made him feel comfortable, very loving and truly caring. I can tell she has a big heart, and really has a love for animals, I saw she really cared. It was so nice to see, she eased my mind, especially as I tend to over worry about him, and he was very happy with her as so were we. We would DEFINITELY rebook. I cannot thank her enough for her care, love, attentiveness she had for our baby Guinness.”
“Daniel was outstanding and provided constant communication throughout the stay. The reviews are true. We were lucky to have him available on short notice. Thank you!”
“Christina takes great care our dog Odie! She sends pictures during the stay and responds timely to any questions. We always feel Odie is in good hands with Christina !”
“David took great care of Tully and she came home happy and tuckered out from her weekend vacation. He was very responsive with communication and took her on short notice after my previously booked sitter canceled.”
About: I've been caring for dogs since middle school, including over 12 years of hands-on experience caring for my own dog, Aubrey. I've also had family, friends, and neighbors rely on me to walk, feed, groom, and care for their pets. Over the years, I've gained experience with dogs of many sizes, breeds, and personalities, including Golden Retrievers, mixed breeds, Yorkshire Terriers, hounds, Chihuahuas, and Corgis. I especially enjoy caring for senior pets and making sure they receive the patience, attention, and affection they deserve. I like spending quality time with them, grooming them, observing their behavior and how they're doing, and making sure they're comfortable and cared for. I've also expanded my experience through volunteer work with Rockland Orange Furrever Homes and the Hudson Valley SPCA, where I've worked with shelter animals and gained additional experience observing animal behavior and providing hands-on care. Whether your pet needs a good walk, a meal, some grooming, companionship, or simply someone who will give them plenty of love and attention, I want them to feel safe, comfortable, and cared for while you're away. I currently have a flexible schedule, which gives me plenty of time to dedicate to pet care. I enjoy making time for walks, play, grooming, companionship, and simply getting to know each pet's personality and routine. I'm able to be flexible with my availability and want every pet in my care to feel comfortable, safe, and loved. When caring for pets in a client’s home, I focus on keeping them safe, comfortable, and following their normal routine as closely as possible. I make sure doors, gates, and other exits are secure, provide fresh water and meals according to the owner's instructions, and give pets plenty of attention and exercise. I also pay close attention to their behavior and overall condition so I can recognize anything unusual and communicate concerns to their owner. During walks, I use safe handling practices and stay aware of the pet's surroundings, other animals, and potential hazards. I want every pet to feel comfortable and cared for while their owner is away.
“Carla was great! I’ve never left my dogs with anyone other than family, so I was honestly really nervous. Now that I have Daisy, my 2.5-year-old rescue, I needed to find someone I could trust. My vet recommended Rover, which helped, and after reading Carla’s reviews I felt much better. She was super communicative before the booking, and when I dropped Daisy off and saw the fenced-in yard (something she doesn’t get at home), I knew she’d love it. Carla also had a separate room set up for her to sleep in, which I really appreciated. When I picked Daisy up, she was happy and relaxed—it was obvious she had a great time. I’ll definitely be booking with Carla again. So glad I found someone I can trust. Thanks, Carla!”
“Very pleased to add another glowing review: this was the first stay for our energetic young cat Bella w/ Maria, her caring family, and resident cats and canines. Maria has a particularly good arrangement and process for gradually acclimating guest cats to a residence, especially one with other felines. As the only pet in our household, Bella's very curious about other cats. The updates and photos show that she was enjoying the run of the house within the first couple days and getting along with the other cats and dogs. It says a lot about the family's skill in creating a comfortable atmosphere for their own pets and boarders alike. Highly recommended.”
“Amy was amazing with Ruba. She sent plenty of pictures and videos of Ruba having a wonderful time romping around with the other dogs! Will definitely be choosing Amy for our future dogsitting needs in this area.”
“Cindy was the best! Would highly recommend. We were in a tight because our son's surgery was rescheduled for earlier than expected and she agreed to watch our dog Remy very last minute. She was thorough in understanding his feeding/sleeping/bathroom needs and sent pics of him during his stay! She was easy to reach at all times and responded very quickly. She took him out for walks and played with him indoors when the weather got bad. We are grateful for such a caring thorough sitter and will definitely be reaching out to her to watch our Remy again. Thank you, Cindy!!!!!”
“Jillian was great with our dog Rufus! He loved the freedom of the large fenced in backyard that he could freely roam and run around in with Jillian's two dogs! Rufus made new friends! We highly recommend Jillian and will definitely book with Jillan again soon!”
“Beckie and her family were the perfect home away from home for our high-energy 2yo German Shepherd. She has a beautiful and massive back yard and provided photo updates throughout the stay. We’ll happily trust Beckie with Echo on future trips and highly recommend her!”
“When I take my dogs to the vet or groomers, they know within a mile where we're headed and they start crying. I have to practically pull them out the vehicle to go inside. When I'm taking them to Jane's, they know where we're headed with a mile and they start going nuts! They cannot wait to get out the vehicle and will pull my arm off trying to get in her house. They absolutely love being there and that, to me, is comfort beyond words.”
“Annie is great. I had to do a quick trip and leave my dog with her for a week. I have a stubborn Shiba Inu and she was great with her. She took her time to understand her. She was always updating me throughout her stay. Definitely recommend her.”
“Cherissa and her family were wonderful. I felt so comfortable leaving my pup with them. Cherissa sent me constant updates and pictures. Would highly recommend her and would definitely use her family again.”
“First time using Rover and couldn’t be happier. Andrea keep us updated through out the trip and when we picked him up he couldnt seem happier. Highly suggest you book with Andrea for your dog sitting needs.”

Alexis was so great! My Rosie absolutely loves her! Alexis sent me pictures every day with updates on her. When I picked her up after 4 days she wasn’t trying to pull me out of Alexis’ home which she usually does when I’ve picked her up from other places she’s stayed. Rosie was very well cared for and I highly recommend Alexis! Thank you for the love and care you gave her!

Frequently asked questions about Rover
The average cost for Dog Boarding in Scotchtown on Rover is $64.2 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 515 sitters on Rover offering Dog Boarding across Scotchtown. 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.
97% of Scotchtown 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 Scotchtown 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 Scotchtown 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 Scotchtown.
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 Scotchtown 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.
