“Madilynn was a great! She communicated quick and was very flexible throughout the stay. She asked if we had any special requests and made sure all questions were answered. Madilynn sent us pictures during our trip and I could tell our dog felt right at home snuggled up on the couch with her. I would highly recommend Madilynn and we will definitely rebook with her for our next trip.”
“Wow, Julie was absolutely amazing! Starting from the beginning with the meet and greet all the way to the very end on pick up. Our sweet dog had a fantastic time at her place. We were leaving town and were having issues with our flight and Julie was flexible on dropping our dog off. She kept us informed on how everything was going by sending videos and pictures everyday. She really is the best and highly recommended.”
“Bianca was absolutely amazing watching our dog, Jeeves. She went above and beyond, every day with updates and pictures. We highly recommend her and will definitely be coming back soon.”
“Ashley is super kind and easy to communicate with. She really loves animals and treated our dog like one of her own. Our dog is large and a little bit older, and so he comes with a few bits of baggage, and she happily helped him out and made sure that he was comfortable. it really meant a lot to our family that our dog could be somewhere safe, happy and welcome while we were gone. I would gladly take our dog back for another visit, if she would have him!”
“I’m so grateful for Cara. She cared for my baby while I was away and he was happy and healthy. They are a beautiful family and have two well behaved dogs. I feel comfortable leaving my puppy with her and will do so if needed again in the future. Thank you!”
“It was my first time using a dog sitter, and I couldn’t have asked for a better experience. Angelia took amazing care of Piper and kept me at ease the whole time. I’m so grateful for her kindness and professionalism. I highly recommend her!”
“LINDSEY IS THE BEST OF THE BEST. It’s never easy to trust a stranger with your fur baby, especially when you know your pup better than anyone and know their different quirks, along with if they struggle with separation anxiety. First off, meeting Lindsey she is sooo sweet & has the most warm loving energy. I have strong intuition when it comes to people and can always tell whether or not something seems off, but as soon as she opened the door to meet & greet us, I knew that my dog Daisy would not only be completely safe, but especially LOVED. Lindsey was the best communicator, provided updates, cute pictures & it was honestly the first vacation we were able to relax knowing Daisy was having her own fun vacation absolutely loving Lindseys dog becoming instant best friends. The only negative thing I need to warn others about… is your dog will not want to leave once it’s time to go home with you after how much fun and happy their time has been there.😂❤️🫶😅❤️😍 10/10 ABSOLUTELY WILL BE BOOKING WITH HER FOR ALL OUR UPCOMING TRIPS. Best service and best family you can trust & count on to leave your fur babies with 🥹🙌👏”
“Chris and her family are truly amazing! We received updates with pictures during our whole trip which was so fun. Chris is the sweetest lady and we had total piece of mind that our pup was in the absolute best hands! So glad we found her❤️ Thank you Chris!”
“Danii went above and beyond watching our dogs this time. She had to give medicine to Boo and keep a sock on our Gracie, plus all the regular things she does to watch over our fur babies. We appreciate the good job she does!”
“Jessica was absolutely amazing! She went above and beyond and made sure I had nothing to worry about while I was away. She will definitely be the first person I go to anytime I need to leave my dog.”
“Laura was amazing! She provided pictures and updates on my girl Bella. She treated her so very well and she was a happy pup, I wasnt sure if she would be coming home with me at pickup. I will definitely be a return customer.”
“Pazely was great with our pup! Super patient with our energetic Lab. I was happy to find her. She did a great job sending us updates and getting his energy out. I would recommend!”
“Chandra took amazing care of our pup! She gave good updates and was very understanding with his quirks, especially with it being his first time away from home! Definitely recommend!”
“Kaitlyn and Tyrel took such great care of our dog Sunny! They updated us with pictures each day and took care of her like she was their own. We will definitely be return clients!”
“Lauren is a fantastic dog sitter who provided exceptional care for my two beloved pups. Mia, who is typically quite timid, and Bruno, who craves attention and affection, were both happy and content under Lauren's watchful eye. Her sweet nature and commitment to keeping me updated with photos and videos put my mind at ease, knowing that my furry friends were in capable hands. Lauren's kindness and expertise made it feel like my dogs were in their own home. I highly recommend her services and look forward to booking with her again in the future! We love you Lauren, see you soon 🫶🏼🐶🐶🥰”
“Bailey was awesome!! She watched Jet while my husband and I went on our honeymoon for 12 days and sent pictures and updates every day or every other day! She has an awesome backyard and her dogs are also very friendly which was great for Jet. When I came to pick him up he seemed like he wanted to go back inside her house so he definitely felt like he was at home haha!”
“Macie did a wonderful job taking care of Moose.💕 She sent lots of photos to show how well he was doing, and made me feel like he was being taken care of really well. We will be working with Macie again!”
“Taylor was fantastic. We felt like our dog found a home away from home with her and her wonderful dogs. Really appreciated getting pictures and updates about how things were going each day and it made us feel like our dog was safe and well taken care of. Thanks Taylor”

Dog parents share their Rover experiences - Syracuse
We have a 4 mo old puppy that was hard to leave home so we could go on vacation! Ashley & Michael were awesome! We first did a meet & greet at their house, they were great to answer all my questions. Our cute girl stayed for 5 days and did great. I loved the daily updates & pictures from them. I would be comfortable booking them again!
Bianca is Amazing!! She always sends Beaux home happy and healthy. It’s better than just doggy daycare it’s like a doggy spa. Beaux gets a fresh new bandana and always smells so good. She gives Beaux treats to take home. We love that she treats Beaux like one of her own. ⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️
We had such an amazing experience with Mckehl! She was absolutely wonderful with our dog and made us feel completely comfortable leaving him in her care. She was loving, attentive, reliable, and kept us updated throughout his stay, which gave us so much peace of mind 🫶🏽
Edgar was an awesome dog sitter. Provided timely response, daily updates with pictures and videos. His two pups made it real easy for Chevy to make friends real quick. Edgar also provided some good excersise for Chevy which is a huge plus especially for herding dogs. Would highly recommend and would book again!

The average cost of Dog Boarding in Syracuse is $39 per night as of November 2026. Most bookings cost between $27 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 of November 2026, there are 1,215 sitters on Rover offering Dog Boarding across Syracuse. Enter your ZIP code to see which available sitters are closest to your home.
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.
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.
96% of sitters in Syracuse 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 Syracuse 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 Syracuse.
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.
Yes, you can find sitters who have experience with handling special pet needs in Syracuse. On Rover:
- 89% of sitters can help with special care needs
- 94% can help with giving oral medications or injections
- 96% can help with daily exercise
You can also find pet sitters on Rover who accept only one pet at a time, which is ideal for anxious puppies, kittens, or senior pets who move at a gentler pace. Some sitters will also list availability for 24/7 care, also known as constant care, in their profiles.
Use the search filters to narrow down sitters whose specific experience or environment meets your pet's needs. When reaching out to your sitter, outline your pet's care routine and use the Meet & Greet to walk your sitter through your expectations.
You and your Syracuse 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 UT 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.
Adding another pup to the pack? Most sitters and walkers offer a reduced rate for additional dogs. You’ll find these exact rates listed under the "Services" tab on any sitter's profile. Since every dog is unique, final pricing may vary depending on the level of care required.
