“If you are looking for the best dog sitter Pam is your perfect choice. She is loving, flexible and trusting. Our pooch has been to several sitters, I think he would agree that Pam was exceptional! She was welcoming, treated him as her own and spoiled him even more than we do at home. The daily updates were really appreciated. Definitely will use her again, I didn't have to worry while I was traveling.”
“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.”
“Michael did a great job with Heidi, she seemed so happy and comfortable. I have never left her with strangers before and it was a very pleasant experience. Would definitely use his services in the future.”
“Denise was amazing! Kids were great with my little one and made him feel as warm as he could be without his family. She updated me constantly throughout my time away and was very fast with response time. Will definitely bring him back!”
“Sharon is a GREAT Dog sitter. Sharon answered all of our questions while our Dog Remington was in her. care. We received photo's and texts regularly. Remington can't wait to go for another visit.”
“He was wonderful with my baby. He sent pics and or videos often. My baby came back home spoiled and barking for constant rubs so i'mĺĺĺl sure he rubbed her a lot and she reallt enjoyed it. I will definitely use his services again.”
“We had such a wonderful experience! Dior felt right at home from the moment she arrived and was so well cared for during her stay. We loved getting updates and could tell she was receiving lots of attention, love, and even some extra treats. Especially because Dior was in heat we were so happy she was comfortable. The thoughtful gift keychain was such a sweet surprise and really showed how much they care about both pets and their owners. We came home to a happy pup and couldn't ask for more. We will definitely be returning and would highly recommend them to anyone looking for someone trustworthy, caring, and attentive to watch their dog!”
“Thank you for such good care of happy, thank you so much for all the pictures and for cooking for him. I know he had a wonderful time with your two other doggies. I will definitely call you anytime I come to town. Stay blessed. Guys, she’s the best.”
“Michelle is amazing! We are new to the area and had a negative experience with a different sitter previously. I was so nervous to try someone new. We found Michelle and I am SO grateful!! I honestly think our dog didn’t want to leave her house. She sent tons of photos and updates. Our Great Dane is sensitive to new situations and will refuse to eat. Michelle waited with her during each meal so she would eat. She truly went above and beyond and I can not recommend her enough.”
“First time using Rover. Krissy watched my Cairn Terrier for 4 days. She and her family did a tremendous job! We were sent pictures of her acclimating into their home and family. Would recommend Krissy to all who are looking for a safe, healthy home to board their pet for a few days!”
“Thu took excellent care for Remy for the weekend while we were out of town. She sent me pictures of her lounging around and looking very happy. Drop off and pickup were also a breeze as Thu is very accommodating. Thu's dog Pi is also very playful and was great with Remy. I will use Thu again when the need arises.”
“This was peanuts second time staying with Judy. She’s so sweet and caring. I feel so comfortable and worry free knowing peanut is in good hands. Judy sends me pics to reassure he is fine and having a good time. I highly recommend her for your furry babies.”
“I am so glad I trusted Kristen to keep my pet Yorkie. I went with her once I met her and saw how passionate she is about not just her animals but all. She treated my benjie like her own. I have left my dog with his vet boarding in the past and felt he didn't get the attention or care I expected. He was a little withdrawn and took a few days to be his normally playful self. When I picked up my pet from Kristen he was as happy as when I dropped him off and that meant a lot to me. I'm glad I chose Kristen and will definitely continue to use her services. I definitely recommend.”
“Amazing family home, Diana and Mike are perfect sitters and the peace of mind they provided with the constant pics and updates truly made my trip that much better. Highly recommend!”
“Sabrina was so attentive and caring. She took amazing care of my puppy. He just had a surgery and I didn’t have to worry about him at all during my trip. Thanks again”
“I could not have asked for a better pet sitter for my dogs. Danielle was so friendly and communicative. She texted me pictures and updates of my dogs every day. She followed all of our feeding and care instructions. She took them for walks everyday and played with them. When we picked them up, they looked beautiful because she brushed them everyday. My dogs were obviously very comfortable there with Danielle and her dog. I will definitely be using Danielle again.”
“Maria was s exceptional. My finicky pup warmed up to her and clearly has enjoyed staying with Maria during my extended work assignment. Maria communicates in a timely fashion and gives me plenty of time to order food or other supplies during his stay. She even arranged to take Freedom to be groomed during his stay! I would highly recommend her services for anyone boarding.”
“Chiclet could not have been in better hands. Dawn took such good care of her and eased any concerns I had by providing updates and pictures. Very accommodating and seems to really be a dog-lover. Would give 10 stars if I could. Excellent sitter. Thank you, Dawn.”

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!
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!
⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ 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
Outstanding care. My 2 dogs were loved and spoiled from the moment I dropped them off to the time I picked them up. They enjoyed 6 days of playing and cuddling. Michelle sent daily updates and pictures. My dogs were safe and cared for. I would recommend her 100%. Thank you!
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.
