“Rachel and Henrik (and their two wonderful kids!) watched our two Goldendoodles for the weekend, and we couldn’t have had a better experience. From the start, it was clear this was a perfect fit—we did a meet-and-greet beforehand, and instantly felt comfortable. Their home is beautiful, clean, and has a great backyard where our dogs had plenty of space to run and play. More importantly, our dogs were treated like part of the family—they got tons of attention, snuggles, and care all weekend. We also really appreciated the frequent updates and photos, which gave us total peace of mind. When we dropped them off, our dogs were so excited they ran right in without hesitation—that says everything. You can truly tell how much Rachel and Henrik love dogs and care for them as their own. One of the nicest families we’ve met, and we felt completely at ease knowing our dogs were so well cared for. We will absolutely be using them again and highly recommend them to anyone looking for exceptional dog care.”

“Angela was wonderful from the start. I was in a bind and needed to have my pup looked after for a few days. Angela lives very close by so I thought I would try her services even though she requires advance notice. She totally came through for me and I am so grateful. I knew my Jorgey was in good hands, as she has many 5 star reviews. Angie is so nice, and friendly, and texted me pics and updates a few times a day, every day. Jorgey had a great time running around her spacious back yard and playing with her pup. Angie is a genuinely nice person and an excellent caregiver. I highly recommend you leave your fur baby in her care. You can rest assured that she will provide an active, healthy and happy environment.”

“Kelly could not have been more communicative and kind. She took such good care of our pup, and he came home exhausted (which is what we hoped for since he’s so high energy). She kept us up to date on all necessary things during our pups stay, and send videos and pictures too. We will definitely consider booking again in the future!”

“Louis was a fantastic dog sitter for our pitbull, Thor. He sent daily photos of all the activities they did and kept Thor active. We could easily see how happy Thor was about his new friend through his photos which provided us with peace of mind while on vacation. We highly recommend Louis if you’re looking for a sitter who truly cares for dogs. He also gifted Thor a doggy bag of treats which was a special touch! Thanks Louis!”

About: I’ve always been a dog person, and spending time with pups has always been something that brings me so much happiness. I find being around animals incredibly therapeutic, and I truly enjoy getting to know each dog’s unique personality. I’ve had 13 years of experience caring for my own two dogs, which has taught me the importance of patience, attentiveness, and responsibility. I understand that pets are family, and I will always make it my priority to ensure your furry friend feels safe, comfortable, and loved while in my care. I can’t wait to meet your pets and give them the same love and attention I give my own! As a college student, I have a relatively flexible daily schedule that allows me to make plenty of time for pet care. I can plan my day around walks, feedings, playtime, and any other needs your pet may have. I’ve always been someone who wants to bring home every dog I see, and I’ve been fighting the urge to add a third dog to my own family for a while now! Since that’s not quite in the cards right now, I figured pet sitting would be the perfect way to spend more time with animals and share some extra love with other people’s furry friends. I genuinely look forward to making pet care part of my everyday routine! I’ve had two very different dogs for the past 13 years, so I’m familiar with a variety of personalities and energy levels! One of my dogs is a total couch potato who loves cuddles, relaxing, and spending time together, while my other is a Blue Heeler mix who is full of energy and absolutely obsessed with playing fetch (especially with her tennis balls!). I love both sides of having dogs, whether that means relaxing on the couch with a cuddly pup or getting outside and playing with a more energetic one. Having experience with both has taught me that every dog has different needs, and I genuinely enjoy adapting to their personalities and making sure they get the attention, exercise, and affection they deserve!

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.

FAQs for Pet Boarding - Shirley

Frequently asked questions about Rover

The average cost of Pet Boarding in Shirley is $50 per night as of November 2026. Most bookings cost between $39 and $71 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 860 sitters on Rover for Pet Boarding in Shirley. About 91% of Shirley 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.
