“I can't say enough about Gillian and Mitch. Left my puppy fur almost a week during a move. She had so much fun with new friends and was so well taken care of . If you need someone please use Gillian and Mitch!”
“Nat and her husband were so great! They agreed to watch Auri kind of last-minute when my other plans fell through. They sent me cute photos and videos and perfectly detailed updates. Auri looked like she had a really great time. I would definitely send my pup to them again!”
“Kathleen took excellent care of my chihuahua, Cody. Over the course of a month, I boarded him with her a few times each week, and I always felt confident he was in great hands. She was responsive, kind, and incredibly patient, not just with my (very energetic!) chihuahua 🙃, but with me as well. I’m so grateful for the care she provided and would highly recommend Kathleen to anyone looking for a trustworthy sitter.”
“Thank you Brad & Mery for looking after Tupe while I was away on vacation this past week. I was extremely nervous to have a stranger watch him. You both quickly eased my mind when we stopped over for a “meet and greet”. Tupe felt right at home as soon as we walked into your home. To anyone looking for a sitter…Brad and Mery are best team! I will be contacting you soon!!! Thank you again.”
“We always bring our little dog to Tiffany since he is so happy to be there with other dogs about the same size and have all his home comfort. We know that is not easy to deal with few dogs in the same time, but she does a great job; our big plus is Tiffany's fenced large backyard we're dogs can go out all day - play and run or just sit in the sun. We will be back Tiffany!”
“Jack was fantastic. Our pup Mugi stayed with him for a week while we were on vacation and it seemed like he had a great time with the other dogs and Jack took great care of him. Jack's place is a little far from where we live, but we will definitely contact him again on our next family trip.”
“David was incredibly responsive, kind and easy to work with! He took on my elderly 16 year old pup within a 24 hour notice after we found out our Airbnb didn’t allow dogs :( He took great care of her and sent daily updates which we really appreciated! She felt right at home with him and he made us feel very comforted knowing she was in good hands! Will definitely rejoin with him in the future :)”
“Daniel is an excellent pet sitter. He took great care of my two dogs, allowing me to take a day trip to see my kids in New York without worry. He did all the right things — communicated well & sent pictures, and even coaxed my nervous hound out from under the table so she could get some exercise. I will definitely be hiring him again.”
“Tucker loved his stay with Mike, Amy, and their dog Bear. Bear and Tucker were fast friends and we got pictures of them enjoying their time together throughout the weekend. We were very happy to know that he was well cared for while we were away and will definitely rebook in the future when we need it!”
“This was Dexter's first night away from home in 9 years. Tatiana was amazing. I got updates and pictures throughout his stay and it calmed my nerves. I will be a repeat customer. Thank you!!”
“I can’t say enough about Jaya & her family taking care of my dog Barley like he was one of theirs. She was quick w/ responding, and her communication was thorough. Barley loved his “sleep over” playing w/ Jaya’s cute pup Biscuit in her big back yard. She made me feel like Barley was safe & would be cared for just like her own. We’ll surely be hoping she is available again for our next pet sitting need. Thank you Jaya !”
About: I take my responsibility watching your pets very seriously and treat each one like my own! Over the years I’ve cared for pets with all different personalities, routines and needs, and I always make sure all animals receive the same love and attention. Message me and I would be happy to meet with you and your pets beforehand so you can both get to know me! I work at a job in the medical field Monday - Thursday and I am typically home on the weekends doing yard work or just hanging out! I have a fully fenced in yard with lots of room for your pet to run around, I also own a crate if necessary! I am also comfortable coming to your house overnight or just for a mid day check in!
“This was the 3rd time Samantha had watched picaboo, while we visited the Albany area. We trust her care, very much. So much so that we drove 4 hours out of our way, each way, so picaboo could stay with her. Since picaboo is only 4 months old, we wanted her to not be scared. She loves being with Samantha and pictures show her having a great time. I will always choose for her to be with Samantha if at all possible.”
“Kyle has care for my pup overnight, for anything from 1 night to 9 nights. She is amazing. My dog clearly loves her and is very comfortable each time I bring him. Kyle is extra communicative and shows my dog love in ways that go above and beyond. My pup and I find Kyle to be very trustworthy and safe. We really appreciate her.”
“We had a wonderful experience with Jennifer and couldn’t have felt better about leaving Moose and Maggie in her care. From our initial meet-and-greet through the entire stay, Jennifer was warm, attentive, communicative, and genuinely invested in making sure both dogs were happy and well cared for. Moose is a senior Great Pyrenees with some mobility limitations and additional care needs, and Jennifer went above and beyond for him. She was patient and compassionate, adapted walks and activities to what he was comfortably able to do, helped him when he needed assistance, stayed on top of his medications, and made sure he was comfortable and included. At the same time, she made sure Maggie received just as much individual attention and plenty of activity suited to her energy level. Jennifer sent frequent updates and so many wonderful photos throughout their stay, which we really appreciated. Her mom was also wonderful with the dogs, and it was clear that Moose and Maggie received so much attention and affection while they were there. Jennifer was also incredibly flexible and accommodating throughout the stay, which made everything much easier for us. We’re extremely grateful for the care they received and would absolutely trust Jennifer with them again. I know Moose and Maggie will be very happy when they realize they’re headed back for another stay!”
“Always the best! Camilla’s home is literally perfect for a dog like mine. My dog gets even more socialization than he gets when he is home with me. She has wonderful and friendly pets and she takes the whole crew out to the dog park and it looks like a wonderful experience all around.”
“Again Dawn was great taking care of our pup while we were gone for 9 days — make that 11 days, thanks to Southwest Airlines’ massive series of cancellations. Dawn updated us twice daily and sent cute pix of our pup every day. We’ve had Sunny stay with her several times now and are booking another stay soon.”
“Marianne took excellent care of our year and a half old Golden Retriever. We were apprehensive about leaving him during our long awaited trip out of state to see family after 2 years of no travel, and this was his first time being away from us. We could not have been more pleased with the care Crosby received from Marianne. She sent us videos, photos, and messages daily, assuring us Crosby was having a vacation of his own. Any questions between ourselves and Marianne were answered in a timely fashion. Crosby returned to us happy, healthy, and even better behaved than when we dropped him off. I would recommend Marianne to anybody looking for a kind, patient, and fun pet sitter.”
The median cost per night for dog boarding in Scotia is $50
Dog parents share their Rover experiences - Scotia
⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ We always try to make sure one of us is home with our dog, Levi, so leaving him with someone else was a little nerve-racking for us. However, we had a wedding to attend and needed someone we could trust — and Anna was absolutely the best! She made the entire process so easy and gave us such peace of mind. She cared for Levi like he was her own and kept us updated throughout the entire time with pictures and videos, which we absolutely loved! Being able to see that Levi was happy, comfortable, and having a great time made it so much easier for us to relax and enjoy the wedding. It was clear how much Anna genuinely cared about Levi, and we felt completely comfortable knowing he was in such good hands. We couldn’t have asked for a better experience and will absolutely be using Anna again. We highly recommend her to anyone looking for someone trustworthy, caring, and dependable to take care of their fur baby! 🐾❤️
Mery and Brad were so warm and loving to our little Rosie! She was very happy in their home and played endlessly with the other dogs in their care. They sent pictures of her cuddling with them and having fun with the other dogs which was so reassuring. We will definitely be using their services again!
Marianne provided the perfect home away from home for my pup, who was very well cared over the couple of days she spent under her roof. I received lots of pics and videos and pupdates, and I know my dog would go back in a heartbeat! Can’t recommend Marianne highly enough.
I dropped Stella off with a large cut on her lip (lord only knows what she got into) and she when I picked her up not only was that looking so much better but she was enriched (not a maniac by the time we got home) and Amber was able to administer pain killers to her. Best rover I've had in a while.
Amber took such good care of Sunny while we had to travel. She provided us updates almost instantly after we dropped him off and all through the long weekend. Other than sending pictures, she provided feedback on how he was getting along while staying at her home. The constant communication truly made us happy to know what kind of fun our boy was getting into. We highly recommend Amber!!

Frequently asked questions about Rover
The average cost for Dog Boarding in Scotia on Rover is $42.18 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 369 sitters on Rover offering Dog Boarding across Scotia. 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.
98% of Scotia 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 Scotia 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 Scotia 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 Scotia.
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 Scotia 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.
