“Yessenia was absolutely lovely to work with. She answered any questions we had as first time Rover customers in order to put us at ease. We could see from the first interaction that she would be kind to our dog, as she immediately got down and gave her hand to the dog to sniff and then pet her. She has a daughter with a sweet and gentle personality, who kindly shared her own blanket with the dog to make the dog feel more comfortable. Yessenia‘s husband was friendly and pleasant as well. Yessenia sent us multiple pictures and updates over the weekend while she watched the dog. Though we brought some supplies, she was also prepared with her own if necessary. Furthermore, since Yesenia had already experienced life with a senior dog, she offered us some suggestions that might help with our pup. Our Rusty had never been cared for by a stranger up to this point. It was hard for us to leave her. That said, we would not only highly recommend Yessenia and her family to other dog owners, we will definitely reach out to Yessenia again if we need someone to board the dog. She even included a lovely note about the experience. Her thoughts were genuine, and it was nice for us to be reminded about the beauty of our dog whom we see every day.”
“The best sitter to book with! Xiaoying and her family are excellent and truly the sweetest! I had an overnight cat sitting service with them for a 7 nights and they sent me daily photos and videos and made sure to keep me updated! They also brought so many toys, a cat tree, and cat hideaway spots for my cat. My cat Lucki didn’t want to leave he really liked it there and it’s like his second home now😊 will definitely be rebooking with them again and highly recommend them to anyone looking for a pet sitter or boarding service! ❤️”
“Alba is amazing! She took tender loving care of my poodle Jackson. She took Jackson for long walks and played with him in her yard. She even took special care of him during the Fourth of July fireworks as he was scared and she comforted him. She’s great about sending videos so you can see exactly what your little loved one is doing all day. I highly recommend Alba!!!”
“My pup has the best time with Denise, it's like going away to camp. He has all these other dogs to play with. He has a beautiful backyard and a beautiful couch. He has a blast! Thank you, Denise. I don't know what I would do without you. XOXOX :)”
“Kim is an absolute angel and took amazing care of our dog Clover on short notice. She treated Clover with so much love and patience when it took awhile for our anxious girl to settle in. Kim sent lots of photos and videos and updates, and Clover had an absolutely amazing time going on adventures with Kim, exploring their huge backyard, and sunning around their house. I would recommend Kim to anyone - she is the best dog sitter I’ve found on Rover. We love Kim and will be booking again with her any time we need a sitter 🩷🥰”
“Pam and Jose were amazing with our Smokey. They are both super kind and caring and live in a very nice clean home. Pam kept in constant communication with us, full of photos and videos to ease any and all concerns, and it was clear to see how comfortable Smokey was. Pam even threw him an early birthday party! Highly recommend her services, and we’ll definitely be using her the next time we’re away”
“Michael was great. He took Sal for 2 weeks and that is no easy task. He provided updates and Sal appears to have loved his stay. I would recommend Michael and I will use him again”
“My dog literally came back home so tired from having fun. He received excellent treatment he had another dog to play with (which was great to wear him out) I was sent multiple pics throughout the day letting me know that Ac was in excellent care. I will use them again and again 🙏🏽”
“James and Ellen were wonderful with Toby! They were kind, flexible, and kept us updated throughout his weeklong stay, which gave us so much peace of mind while we were away. We were also able to meet them briefly beforehand, and they were so friendly and welcoming from the start. We really appreciated how well they cared for Toby and would definitely recommend them to others. We’d absolutely book with them again the next time our family goes away!”
“Judy was wonderful, she sent me regular updates and pictures of my dog. Also, my dog is very nervous and skidish and she did a great job making him as comfortable as possible. I will definitely be using her again.”
“Delmy and her daughter were so kind and just wonderful with my elder pup, Jake. Their home was warm, welcoming and super tidy. They provided daily photos and updates which were much appreciated. I would absolutely recommend booking Delmy and look forward to using her again. :)”
“Wenxu & Evan were truly the best sitters we could have asked for for Daisy over the holidays. From start to finish, they went above and beyond in every way. When my travel plans unexpectedly changed and I needed to adjust both drop-off and pick-up, they were incredibly flexible and accommodating, which took so much stress off my plate. They were also amazing with communication—sending me tons of photos and videos that showed just how happy, relaxed, and loved Daisy was. It honestly looked like she was on her own little vacation. Seeing her so comfortable and joyful made me feel completely at ease being away. I’ll definitely be using them again 💗”
“The best sitter on this app! Alissa was so kind and sweet with Dixie. She always sent updates videos and photos for check ins. Would recommend to everyone and can’t wait to rebook in the future!”
“Vanessa and her family were wonderful! She was very flexible with my pickup time. Chase had a great time playing with Storm and he was very happy. She sent videos and photos daily and always kept me updated. I will definitely rebook with her again!”
“Michele was absolutely amazing with my dog! From the start, she was communicative, attentive, and genuinely caring. She kept me updated the entire time with messages and photos, which gave me so much peace of mind while I was away. Her kids were completely in love with Arepa, and it was clear he felt comfortable, happy, and so well cared for. Michele truly treated him like her own. I would 100% trust her again and highly recommend her to anyone looking for a reliable and loving sitter. Thank you so much, Michele!”
“Jen did a great job with our beagle Daisy. She was inquisitive regarding Daisy’s needs, schedule, and likes/dislikes. She sent us pictures and updates throughout the time and even got Daisy to give a big smile on one of her pictures. We will definitely use her again.”
“I couldn’t have asked for a better experience. They kept my dog at their home for 2 days, sent updates and pictures, and were kind and attentive. It was clear my dog was happy and well taken care of. I’m very grateful and would absolutely book with them again.”
“Nachay was awesome! She took such great care of our Stormi. She was so friendly and professional and our puppy immediately took to her. She sent plenty of pictures and kept us updated daily. I would recommend her to anyone in a heartbeat. If you’re apprehensive about this type of service I would encourage you to meet her and see for yourself. We will definitely be using her again.”

We had a wonderful experience with Jim and Ellen as our dog sitters! They were incredibly caring, responsible, and attentive throughout our dog’s stay. It was clear from the beginning that they genuinely love dogs and treated ours like part of their own family. They kept us updated with photos and messages, which gave us great peace of mind while he was with them. Our dog was happy, relaxed, and clearly well cared for when we picked him up. We couldn’t have asked for better dog sitters and would absolutely trust Jim and Ellen with our dog again. Highly recommended!
We had such a great experience! Kayla took amazing care of our dog and made us feel so comfortable while we were away.

Alba is fantastic and very caring! CC really enjoyed her time with her and Tony. She sent over several pictures and videos of CC playing and relaxing at her house, which made the whole experience of having to leave her so much less stressful!! Thank you and CC is looking forward to her next visit!
⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ Amazing Experience with Matt & Kristina! Matt & Kristina were absolutely amazing from start to finish! From our very first meet-and-greet, they took the time to get to know Rocky and make sure he would be a good fit for their family and their two beautiful dogs. Matt showed us their yard and explained where Rocky would be safe to run around and play. He gave us a full rundown of everything and patiently answered all of our questions, which immediately made us feel comfortable and confident leaving Rocky with them. We ended up booking a full week! Throughout Rocky’s stay, we received regular updates, pictures, videos, and text messages, which gave us so much peace of mind while we were away. It was so wonderful to see how happy and comfortable Rocky was. He got along great with their family dogs and even their super-cute daughter! You can truly tell that Matt & Kristina genuinely care about the dogs in their care and treat them like family. We couldn’t have asked for a better experience. We highly recommend Matt & Kristina and will definitely be booking with them again in the future, especially when we need to travel out of the country. Rocky had an amazing time, and we felt completely comfortable knowing he was in such great hands! 🐾❤️ The Arjoon Family 🫶🏻 Breed: Pomsky 😂 more the size of Husky
We could not be happier with the care Toby received from Thu and her family! This was our first time leaving him with an in home sitter and we are thankful for such a great experience. We received updates and photos which put our minds at ease and Toby was so happy to have Pi and Jinx to play with! I can tell he already misses his new friends!
Cindy did great with Candy! Candy is definitely spoiled and needy most days but Cindy was able to meet all her needs and keep her content and resting while we were away on vacation. We enjoyed receiving little videos of her everyday and We will definitely use Cindy again in the future.
My husband and I recently needed a last minute pet sitter for our dog and Susan came through for us big time! Our girl Lexi had never stayed with people she didn't know but she warmed up to Susan and her husband immediately. They are super kind, trust worthy and provide a warm safe haven for your fur baby. She sent lots pictures and updates. We feel very fortunate to have found her and wouldn't hesitate to book with her again. Thank you Susan!
AMAZING. Melissa was very kind. Mandy had an awesome time. Melissa kept us informed during her stay with pictures. It made as feel at ease leaving her with Melissa. Definitely would recommend her to any pup needing a pet sitter. Melissa thanks again for watching our Mandy.

Frequently asked questions about Rover
The average cost for Dog Boarding in Wantagh on Rover is $66.6 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 12,789 sitters on Rover offering Dog Boarding across Wantagh. 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.
95% of Wantagh 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 Wantagh 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 Wantagh 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 Wantagh.
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 Wantagh 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.
