“This was my first time ever leaving any of my dogs with a pet sitter, so it was a nerve-wracking experience to find the best match for my young puppy. John put my fears at ease during my pup's stay of over two weeks by providing regular updates. I will absolutely use his services again in the future!”
“Cindy is amazing! I needed a last minute sitter and this was my first time using Rover. Cindy sent photos throughout the day and was so communicative. Definitely will be booking again!”
“Great feedback and an understanding and accommodating of my dog's quirks. Traveling is made so much easier when you can feel that your dog is well taken care of in your absence. That is what I experience here.”
“My Scrappy (who is a 2 year old Pomeranian/ Poodle Mix male) stayed with Maria, Eric, and Penny (their fur baby girl) for 12 days. Scrappy and Penny had a meet and greet prior to booking. They hit it off. They were like long lost loves. Scrappy is one to be pretty scrappy at times, so I had to check the fence line because he likes to try to dig. They have a very secure backyard that made me feel comfortable to leave him there too. Maria said she would be out there with them, which made me feel better. But the fence was very secure anyway. Maria sent me photos and videos daily of Scrappy and Penny playing in the snowy backyard, napping together, and enjoying each other’s company. Scrappy seemed very happy and content staying with the family. Unfortunately, Scrappy had to say farewell to Penny for now. When I picked him up there was another fur friend there too, who was an elderly regular. He seemed like a sweetheart too. It was nice to see Scrappy had so many few friends. Maria’s sending us pictures and videos made me smile while we were away. It made me feel like he was doing well and he was happy and it provided me with a great sense of comfort to know he was being well taken care of. I would recommend Maria and her family for pet sitting. Maria herself was very nice and welcoming to me and my family. Eric seemed very pleasant and sweet and Penny was a beautiful and lovable dog, whom I wanted to bring home with us. Lol. Glad we picked them for Scrappy. Thank you Maria, Eric and Penny!!! All the best, Victoria, Tom and Scrappy”
“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.”
“Christine is fantastic! We boarded our 9 month old Bernese Mountain Dog with her for the weekend. From the moment we stepped into her backyard Mr. Winston wanted to play and hang out. Would highly recommend!”
“We couldn't be happier with Melissa. She took such amazing care of Sparky and kept us updated with great photos. Highly recommend to anyone looking for care and attentive sitter.”
“Jinay was awesome and her family couldn’t have been sweeter and more welcoming to Zeke. She was flexible and communicative and kept me feeling reassured that he was in the best hands while I was away. Highly recommend!”
“Korin took wonderful care of my cat, Rajah, for five days while I was away. She was attentive, kind, and clearly cared about Rajah's well-being. I especially appreciated the regular updates and photos, which gave me peace of mind and allowed me to enjoy my trip knowing she was in good hands. Korin was reliable, communicative, and went above and beyond to make sure Rajah was comfortable and well cared for. I would not hesitate to trust her with my cat again and highly recommend her to anyone looking for a caring and dependable pet sitter.”
“This was our first time using Rover. It was so easy! We had a variety of dog sitters to choose from within a short distance. Something told us to look into Jocelha. She is THE BEST!! Sophie had a great time. Jocelha sent us lots of pictures and had detailed and funny stories about Sophie’s days & evenings. We were starting to think that she was having so much fun, she might not want to come back home with us!! lol”
“Lorena is an angel. Our family came with a special kind of crazy this trip including changing dates of pickup and all sorts of chaos, but Lorena handled everything with ease and kindness. She was excellent at communication and I could tell from all of the pics and videos that Birdy was having a great time at her place. Birdy brings a lot of energy when she's first meeting a new person, and Lorena seemed to welcome her with open arms. I give her the highest of praise. Really wonderful to work with.”

“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!”
“This is the second time my dog has stayed with Antonia, and she absolutely loves it there! I always get lots of pictures and updates, and I know she’s being well cared for. Every time I pick her up, she never wants to leave. Highly recommend! 🐾❤️”
“Gen and her family are wonderful hosts!! We received regular updates and pics of how well our Bailey was doing. When we picked her up, she was tired and happy - a perfect combo:) Gen has a fenced yard and two dogs that were wonderful companions to our pup. I highly recommend!!”
“Excellent substitute fur parents. Best compliment we can give is that we will use them again any and every time we need to ……they took wonderful care of our pups!”

We booked Lorena for our senior dog Onnie somewhat last minute as our regular pet sitter had a medical emergency only a couple of weeks prior to a two week vacation. Lorena was lovely to chat with via the Rover app and was flexible with scheduling a meet and greet. Onnie needs extra care as she takes an oral medication, topical medication and wears dog-diapers. Lorena handled it all in stride. We were left at ease knowing the Onnie was receiving amazing care and lots of love. We loved receiving lots of pictures and video updates. Lorena’s house and large backyard are clean and pet friendly. Lorena will be our go-to sitter from now on. Do not hesitate to schedule with her:)

Frequently asked questions about Rover
The average cost for Dog Boarding in Shirley on Rover is $61.05 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 852 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 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 Shirley 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 Shirley 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 Shirley 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 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 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.
