About: I have been taking care of all sorts of pets for over 30 years. I am very familiar with puppy, senior and all stages in between. Currently I have been given the responsibility of let outs for 2 adorable pups and mid day walks for another great pup when his family is on vacation. I am currently a stay at home mom . I am looking to fill my time with some pups who need cheering up while their family is away! I have a fenced in yard to keep dogs safe. Our family includes 3 dogs and 4 cats. The cats and dogs coexist well without any issues. 2 of our dogs are seniors who are very quiet. Our younger pup is 5 years old and loves everyone. He would be a great playmate for your pup. I am very hands on and will not take my eyes off your pup. They will be treated just like my fur babies!

About: I’ve been around dogs most of my life. I enjoy taking care of animals. I am very attentive and will take care of your furry friend like they were my own. I’m currently freelancing and have my schedule pretty open so your fur baby will have plenty of attention. I will do what ever it takes to make your dog feel comfortable and cared for. I have a fenced in back yard. And quiet low traffic roads around me for walks. We have had 2 dogs previously who are in doggie heaven now. We miss you Minnie and Bentley.

“Cong was amazing!! We had to leave town with one day's notice for a death in the family, and were frantic with worry about who would take care of our boys for us. Cong came through in a *big* way. She let us drop our boys off at 3am, on our way to the airport! We got frequent and regular updates from her, most with photos, and knowing that our boys were getting love and care removed a giant source of worry from us at a difficult time. Cong's doggie is a sweetheart, and she had fun playing our boys. I will 100% be contacting Cong in the future to keep our boys safe and happy! Thank you!!”

“Both Koda and Dulcie loved their stay at Megan’s with all of the welcoming friends. Megan was very understanding of Koda being reactive towards dogs and made no judgements about him which was a huge relief. She sent lots of pictures of the dogs out and about having a blast, Dulcie made all the dog friends and was right at home. We will definitely have our dogs vacation with her again.”

About: I’ve taken care of animals my whole life, I’ve owned multiple dogs & cats that are sadly no longer with me. I love the joy going for a run or walk can bring them. Bathing your furry friend is never an issue. I do have a cat named Zelda who loves animals but she’s the only one I have now. Offering boarding services for holiday times coming up! I work part time and go to school full time as well as being a mother to my daughter. We can always talk about what works best for us both & your furry friend(s). I do have an open backyard but I do have extra long tie outs so they will be able to run. I have no problem taking them to a local dog park or a walk around the neighborhood. If you’re going on vacation & your furry friend can’t come, we can easily discuss what works best for scheduling.

About: Need extra attention for your fur babies? I not only feed/walk your pets, I read or sing to them after meals/exercise. I spend the time needed to ensure their comfort while you are away. I love both dogs and cats. I grew up with Dachshunds, St.Bernards, Beagles and an Airdale Terrors (not all at one time!). I've also had cats through the years. I have 2 now (lost one in June, 16 years old). All of my cats have been indoor and spoiled rotten! I have helped owners who have been hospitalized, vacationing and working to ensure their furry friends are safe and happy. Rest assured...your pet will be well taken care of. ❤. Why did I decide to do this? When I've traveled, it's been difficult finding reliable sitters or drop in visits. I can assure you, there will be no worrying about your furry family member(s). At your home, your furry family members will be well taken care of. They will receive lots of love and attention. Be sure to instruct me about any special needs. you will receive updates when taking care of your pets. I can do early drop-in visits (7-9 a.m.) and afternoon/ evening hours. I have no restrictions on weekends. I can be fairly flexible because I work out of my home. I can only offer services in your home. Your pooch or kitty will get lots of hugs and kisses. I will treat yours as I do mine.

About: I have owned dogs for my entire life and have given them the best care possible. Our last dog passed away in August 2025 after 17 1/2 years in our family. We miss her! I am not sure if she could ever be replaced and I am not ready to adopt a new one yet. Instead of adopting a new dog, I thought that I could start short term boarding of dogs. My daughter has been very successful in doing boarding for the past 2 years in Nashville and loves taking care of her now regular group of visiting dogs! I am newly retired and have a flexible schedule. Typically, I am in and out of my house throughout the day and can easily adjust my schedule as needed. I am flexible and love to give TLC to all dogs. I do not accept dogs who have major behavior or medical needs at this point.

Kathleen was great with my two guys. I was a little concerned when she told me she had 10 cats, because my guys are not accustomed to being around cats, but they were fine. In addition, when I found out that Kathleen rescues animals, I was further convinced that my guys were in good hands. I hear that my youngest guy attempted to go on a hunger strike and Kathleen actually hand fed him! I look forward to using her services again.

⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ 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! 🐾❤️

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!!

FAQs for Pet Boarding - Scotia

Frequently asked questions about Rover

The average cost of Pet Boarding in Scotia is $42 per night as of November 2026. Most bookings cost between $31 and $50 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 long as your booking dates and pet profiles are accurate, the price shown before you confirm is the total, including any booking fee.

There are 361 sitters on Rover for Pet Boarding in Scotia. About 94% of Scotia sitters can respond to requests in under 60 minutes. Whether you’re planning ahead for holidays, need last-minute care, or need same-day coverage for an urgent trip, you can message multiple sitters at once to find available care.

Once you find the right match, you can arrange a Meet & Greet to ensure they are a perfect fit for your pet’s personality before confirming.

If you would like updates while you’re away, you can discuss with your sitter how many or how frequent you’d like those updates to be. The Rover app allows sitters to send photos, videos, and messages about your pet, including how many pee or poop breaks occurred. You can message your sitter at any time through the app and our support team is available 24/7 by email or chat if you have concerns.

The personalized, in-home nature of pet care through Rover can mean more individual attention for your pet.

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.

A Meet & Greet is a casual meeting to vet potential sitters and communicate care needs for peace of mind before a booking begins. Only sitters who have never booked with you before can schedule a Meet & Greet on Rover; however, you are welcome to coordinate one in Rover messages with sitters you have previously booked. This can be helpful if you have a new pet or routine you want to go over with your sitter.

Meet & Greets can take place in person or virtually. If you are booking with a sitter for the first time, we recommend in-person Meet & Greets to get a clearer sense of how your sitter interacts with your pet or the new environment.

During the Meet & Greet, you will have a chance to walk through your pet's routine, medical needs, and unique quirks. Take the time to ask your sitter questions about their skills and expertise, and make sure the fit feels right for everyone. Meet & Greets are a great way to prepare your pet and sitter for longer stays or first-time bookings. Read our tips for your first Meet & Greet.

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. Cats may be required to have Feline Viral Rhinotracheitis and Rabies up to date.

By discussing your pet's health history early, you’re adding a layer of confidence for you and your sitter before the booking begins.

Emergency support is available by phone or email in English 24/7. When an incident occurs, we recommend that sitters contact our Trust & Safety team immediately so that they can connect your sitter with a board-certified veterinarian or offer other resources to help.

If a sitter needs to cancel at the last minute, Rover’s reservation protection means our team will work with you to find a suitable replacement as quickly as possible.
