“Maria was amazing! From day 1, she was attentive and had open communication with us about Stella and Hunters' progress. She facilitated a comfortable and fun environment, and we were pleased with the overall experience. I would highly recommend Maria and would work with her in the future”
“Cindy was super accommodating at the last minute! She made me feel very comfortable by sending frequent updates and photos. When i unpacked his bag i even had souvenir photos from his stay! I would definitely book Cindy again!”

“Melissa and her husband took great care of Keuka, and she had a good time romping around their backyard with the other boarded dogs. They were responsive and made everything quite seamless; recommend, especially if your dog gets along with other small nice dogs :)”
“Gen was very accommodating by taking Winston and gave me updates the entire time. I knew the whole time Winston was safe, and was well taken care of. I will be booking w/ Gen again the next time I go away!”
“Colleen truly put me at ease immediately with my 14 year old small dog! She sent pictures of his wonderful adventures in her fenced in lawn, going for walks, playing with his toys and even let him snuggle in bed at night where he is used to sleeping! Colleen was a true professional, inviting to tour her house and did not rush one moment, making sure I felt 100% comfortable. I will absolutely use Colleen again in the future when I’m traveling to Long Island. Thanks Colleen!”
“Amber was awesome with Jag. Sent me pictures & videos of Jag having fun. I would definitely recommend Amber. I’ve never felt so comfortable leaving my dog with anyone. Thank you again Amber for making my time away relaxing & worry free!”
“Carlos is such a wonderful dog sitter! He really cares about your pet while they are with him. We are returning clients and will absolutely continue to schedule with him. Thank you so much for taking such good care of Ruby!”
“Kerri took the greatest care of our Alfie while we were away. She provided daily pictures of him and went above and beyond caring for him when our return flight was canceled and we had to stay away longer than expected. Alfie had not only her family to interact with but her dogs as well. We would definitely use her services again.”
“Our experience with Natalia was amazing! She provided many updates and pictures to us which helped us so much, as this was our first time leaving our pup in someone else’s hands. We were able to enjoy our vacation knowing he was in the best care. Highly recommend Natalia and will be using her care again!”
“Simply the BEST!! Lisa and Micheal have boarded my dog since he was a pup, they are very loving and caring and go above and beyond when watching our Stormy. We are so happy to know that when we need to leave our boy, he is well taken care of in his second home with Lisa and Micheal. Do not hesitate to book them, they are great and will give your pet the care they deserve.”
“I can not express how extraordinary Lenny was with our Max! We’ve never used Rover before, and let me just say that as soon as I met Lenny, I knew Max would be in great hands! She made a promise to my 5 year-old that she would make sure that we knew Max was okay and would send updates and pictures it was superb. Our dog was so happy, content and had absolutely zero anxiety. Lenny is highly recommended and we will be using her again. She’s 10 stars in our book! ❤️”
“This was our first time leaving our girl for an extended length of time and I was beyond nervous, but Toni was absolutely amazing! She kept me updated with texts and photos that I not only felt that my dog was in good hands, but I saw that she was having the time of her life while staying at Toni’s! I will not only be recommending her in the future but I will definitely be boarding with Toni in the future!”
“Christine took good care of my pup for a day. Very communicative and provided picture updates all through the day. The spacious yard is a plus for all pups. Will definitely use again !!”
“Lauren was VERY accomodating graciously accepting Cub on short notice with later than expected arrival. Interested in getting to know Cub s tendencies. Sent pictures. Very patient with unexpected diarrhea first night. Gave Cub a bath! Highly recommended Lauren!”
“Sara was an amazing sitter! From day one, she provided excellent communication and was very responsive to my questions. During the trip, she sent several updates and pictures, so I knew that my pup was well cared for. In some of those pictures, my pup did things that she'd do at our house, so i knew that Sara treated her as a family member.”
“Shannon was wonderful. She asked detailed questions before I dropped off my dog regarding diet, likes and dislikes and since I have an older dog, her health and limitations. I felt, right from the start, she was invested in the care and well being of my dog. During my pet's stay, she sent regular updates and pictures which was greatly appreciated for this anxious dog mom. My dog seemed well cared for, calm and happy when I arrived to pick her up. I was please with her services and I would highly recommend Shannon and will use her again in the future.”

“Alev was the best dog sitter I ever had! Very attentive and always kept me updated. My dog is usually uncomfortable when I board him, and I notice he's exhausted after I pick him up but he wasn't like that with Alev. He was still very active when we came home, which means he felt comfortable enough to relax while he was staying. Thank you for loving and taking good care of my boy.”

Ariel watched our dog for the first time. He came home happy and very relaxed. Charlie has a fear of thunder and some anxiety. Ariel understood this and let us know how he did when the weather was bad. She sent us pictures and information about how he was doing. We would definitely leave Charlie with her again.

Frequently asked questions about Rover
The average cost of Dog Boarding in Shirley is $61 per night as of October 2026. Most bookings cost between $48 and $73 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 840 sitters on Rover offering Dog Boarding across Shirley. 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.
97% of sitters in Shirley 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 Shirley 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 Shirley.
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 Shirley 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.
