“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!”

“Brad & Mery are such wonderful people. This was Millie's fourth visit to their home. If you are looking for people who will love your fur baby like their own, Brad & Mery are for you. They are kind and send lots of pictures. I trust them 100% with our Millie and will always book them to care for our pup when we are away!”

“Rocky clearly enjoyed his stay with his new friends, although happy to see me he clearly was upset leaving Bear, whined half way home and slept like a rock ! Thanks again to Mike and we will look forward to our next stay :)”

“I cannot say enough good things about Brigid and her care of our Keely. She loved and cared for her so well that we never had to worry at all while we were gone. She sent pictures and gave regular updates. Highly recommend! We will use Brigid again!”

“Ella had a great time. It was great to find a easy drop off for her so she stay while we were traveling though the area. Jonathan was super flexible and it worked out great for us.”
“This was the first time using Rover and leaving our puppy and Tiffany was amazing! Super supportive and sent many updates. She is fantastic and I encourage you to trust your furbabies with her!”

“I’ve booked Kevinh twice now, this time was a last minute, long-term arrangement. He was just as wonderful with Zula as he was the first time. He’s incredibly attentive to her needs, and I can see she adores him. He’s excellent! Absolutely no complaints at all.”

“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.”

“Great dog care. She understood big dogs which is a plus. She loved Thunder as her own and was great to know he was in good hands. I personally loved that she sent so many pics so it fealt as if I was still there with him”

“Great experience for our dog, Buddy. He get anxious in new places and has to adjust. It was just one night but, she seemed to do great. Got along with Tatian and her dogs. Tatiana was very responsive and sent updates and some pictures to keep us at ease. Will have Buddy stay there again soon!”

“Pam did a great job with my dog who has never been comfortable with other dogs. I’m very glad that Pam not only took care of my anti-social dog (got her during COVID) while I was away, but also helped her learn social skills with other dogs!”

“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 :)”

“Nat and her husband were an absolute pleasure to work with from booking to pick up. Having just moved to the area, I was worried about finding a sitter who would love my little guy during a 9-day vacation. We could not have asked for a better sitter. ❤️🐶”

“My dog Asher was treated like a family member, not a guest. I was absolutely thrilled as was Asher.. Cansu and Brett took him in like their own. Tons of photos and videos every day.”

“Lianna was amazing. This was my first time using Rover and Lianna helped relieve any anxiety I had. Great communication, pictures sent multiple times a day, and answered any questions I had in a timely fashion. I 100% recommend her for your next fur baby stay.”
“Samantha and her partner were absolutely amazing. They are the best sitters I have met by far. I 10000/10 recommend. Samantha updated me throughout my dog's stay. I will definitely rebook.”


“Jarvis loved staying with Kierra and her family. He was well cared for and Kierra sent many photos of Jarvis playing with her dog Atlie. I highly recommend her, and Jarvis looks forward to staying with them again!”


“My 8 year old, Curly Coated Retriever, had never been boarded before. Kyle made me so comfortable at our initial meet & greet that it reduced my trepidation of being away from my girl for the first time & I knew she was in good hands. Kyle’s daily pictures & comments made being away from my girl so much easier. It was very clear seeing how much Kyle loved dogs and she was such a good caregiver to my girl. I would strongly recommend Kyle’s service to anybody who wants to ensure their dog is in the hands of someone who truly cares about her furry friends.”

The median cost per night for dog boarding in Scotia is $50
Dog parents share their Rover experiences - Scotia
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 August 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 August 2026, there are 375 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.
