Donna took care of our American Eskimo puppy over the holidays and we were very pleased with the care he received while there. Donna has a lot of experience with breeding and boarding dogs so our puppy was very happy while there. We knew he was safe and secure while we were away. We definitely will be using her services again!

Rocko had a great time with Alejandro and even made new friends. Alejandro sent me videos every day of Rocko playing with his new friends. I highly recommend Alejandro and will definitely use him in the future.

Emily did a great job taking care of our very shy Great Dane puppy. She helped remove any concerns we had with leaving our puppy for the first time. Will definitely look to use Emily again in the future instead of using a kennel.

Ashley went above and beyond to take care of my dog. She was flexible with pick up and drop off. She made sure he had adequate air conditioning during a heat wave. She went to great lengths to give him his medications. And she even gave him a bath before returning him to me. She is knowledgeable and caring. I would definitely recommend her!

Kathy was an amazing pet sitter. My dog stayed for three nights and had the best time playing with her sweet dog Ollie. Kathy was incredibly attentive and kind. My dog had hurt her leg prior to going over there and she even took the time to gently massage her leg ( after checking with me) It really meant a lot knowing my dog was so cared for uncomfortable. I wouldn’t hesitate to book with Kathy again and highly recommend her!

Jennifer was absolutely incredible while caring for our dog, Loki, during a week when my husband Joey and I were away on a cruise. Leaving your pet behind is never easy, but Jennifer made the entire experience feel effortless and reassuring. From day one, she went above and beyond to keep us connected. She sent frequent updates, along with tons of photos and videos, so we could see exactly how Loki was doing. It wasn’t just check-ins—it genuinely felt like we were still part of his daily life. Seeing him happy, relaxed, and clearly well cared for gave us so much peace of mind. Jennifer handled him with such patience, attentiveness, and warmth that he seemed completely at home. It’s clear she truly cares about the dogs she looks after, treating them like her own rather than just a job. I couldn’t recommend Jennifer more highly. If you’re looking for someone trustworthy, communicative, and genuinely wonderful with dogs, she’s the one. We’ll absolutely be booking with her again.

This was our first time leaving our dog to any sitters house. We were nervous how our dog will react but Daniel made him feel at home. If we messaged him to see how our dog was doing, he would answer right away with pictures. Our dog was able to run and play all day. We will definitely be using Daniel’s boarding service again.

I read Matt and Kirsten’s reviews when I needed to board my dog in a pinch, and I thought these reviews may be overstating how wonderful they are. The truth is, they are UNDERSTATING it. I’m not sure nicer, sweeter, more attentive dog sitters exist. They were so true and genuine in their caring of my 2 yr old lab - maybe even more than I am and I’m a pretty crazy dog mom. I felt so at ease on my trip because I knew how happy my hound was and M + K communicated with frequency and love. My dog had THE best time. Thanks so much for an amazing stay for Danny and incredible peace of mind for me.

About: For the comfort and safety of every pup, I only host one family’s dog at a time. This allows me to give your dog my full attention and maintain a calm, low stress environment. My care goes beyond the basics. it’s rooted in genuine love and experience. My journey caring for Kayne, our special needs dog, taught me how to handle medical routines, provide comfort, and stay attentive to every detail. That experience shaped my approach to every pet I welcome. I understand that each animal deserves patience, respect, and love. Whether your pet is playful, shy, or needs a little extra care, they’ll always be treated like family in our home. We’re CPR and First Aid certified, giving you extra peace of mind while your pup is in our care. Pet care is woven into my daily life and something I genuinely love. As a stay at home mom, I’m home full time to give every furry friend constant love and attention. Our days revolve around walks, playtime, and snuggles. Caring for our late dog, Kayne, who developed a spinal injury and heart condition, taught me that true care takes patience, compassion, and adaptability qualities I bring to every pet I meet. In our home, every animal is treated like family. I provide a clean, safe, and active space with multiple walks, a fenced yard for play, and individualized routines. Through my experience caring for Kayne, who required special medical attention, I learned how to adapt to any level of care whether it’s energetic puppies or older companions needing extra comfort. You can feel confident knowing your pet is in loving, capable hands that treat them as one of our own.

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.

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:)

FAQs for Pet Boarding - Shirley

Frequently asked questions about Rover

The average cost for Pet 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 Pet 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 Pet Boarding. For more information on service fees, click here .

There are 874 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 short introductory meeting between you, your pet, and a sitter. It can take place in person or virtually, although we recommend in-person so that your pet can get to know your sitter 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. Most pet parents and sitters on Rover welcome Meet & Greets because the process can give confidence and peace of mind for service experiences, especially for longer stays or first-time bookings.

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.
