“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.”
“Denise took very good care of our Munsy. She is a very nice person and it is easy to tell she truly loves pets. Great communication throughout the entire process and she even sent us a few pictures of Munsy showing how happy our dog was. We highly recommend Denise if your dog needs a sitter.”
“I am an overprotective dog mommy. Sharon gained my trust immediately. Her yard, play time and individual care to our Kingsley is highly commendable! Have already recommended Sharon to another family member. Our dogs had no issues with each other, an absolute plus!”
“I am so satisfied with Alba’s dog sitting for my two dogs this past weekend! I have an almost four year old and a fourteen year old dog, and Alba cared for both of their different needs excellently. I received frequent updates without having to ask, and was able to meet her and visit her home before agreeing to let my dogs stay there. I felt at ease once I met her, and could see her love for dogs. She has a fenced in yard that even the smallest of dogs couldn’t escape through, and she lives in a walkable neighborhood with sidewalks. Right away, my two boys felt at home during our pre-visit. I will definitely be using Alba in the future, and would recommend her to anyone who is traveling and wants to leave their dogs in a safe, comforting, and loving home.”
“Michael was FANTASTIC! I boarded my dog Nico with him for a few days while I went away and he took such great care of him. Nico has some anxiety so he was a little nervous when I dropped him off but I knew he was in good hands. Michael sent me daily pictures and updates which I really appreciated. I will definitely be using Michael again in the future!”
“I was very nervous about leaving my dog with a boarder. I had only left her with relatives. Judy was very helpful. We did a meet and greet beforehand and she took care of my dog. Would definitely use again.”
“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.”
“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.”
About: I have hands on experience working with dogs of all ages and temperaments through my weekly volunteering at a local animal shelter, where I care for, walk, and socialize dogs in a variety of situations. I’m also a dedicated dog owner myself, so I understand how important it is to trust someone with your pet. I’m comfortable with puppies, high-energy dogs, and those who may need a little extra patience. I always focus on providing a safe, structured, and loving environment, along with regular updates so you feel confident while you’re away. I currently work at a school teaching special needs children. During the school year i’m available after 3:30pm on weekdays. Weekends my schedule opens up a lot more . I provide personalized care in my home, as well as drop-in visits and walks, based on each dog’s routine and needs. In my home, dogs are treated like family in a safe, clean, and supervised environment with regular potty breaks, playtime, and attention. For drop-ins and walks, I follow all instructions closely, including feeding, fresh water, exercise, and any specific care requests. I always prioritize safety, consistency, and communication, and I provide regular updates and photos so you feel confident your pet is well cared for
“Delmy and her family took wonderful care of my 2 dogs. They were walked every day, played with, and came home clean and happy. We could not be happier with their stay.”
“Taylor was excellent with my senior dog ! Her home was a quiet & safe space and her own gentle dog provided a nice companion for my pup during her stay. Taylor had to put drops in my pup's eyes which is not the easiest task. She was caring and comforted my pup when she realized we had left. She sent pictures to us also. Would recommend Taylor -”
“Ed was great! We never left Snickers with anyone for more than one night so needless to say we were a little nervous. When we first met Ed, we could tell that he took his job seriously and is a true animal lover. We left Snickers with Ed for four nights and there were no complaints. Ed was great with sending photos and videos and kept us updated each day. Snickers was well taken care of and we would definitely leave him with Ed again. Thank you so much for taking such great care of our little fella.”
“They were great! Lincoln met with them a few days before the stay and was immediately comfortable. There house was very clean and the enclosed backyard was very spacious leaving a lot of room for the dogs to play and secure enough to prevent them from getting out. They sent video and pictures everyday. I would definitely leave my dog with them again in the future.”
“My pug Charlie had another wonderful time with Abbie and Peachy. Charlie feels really safe with Abbie even though she is a little anxious and Peachy is a great friend that helps Charlie to stay active and socialized especially in this cold weather. Outstanding hosts!”

⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ 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!
This was the first time someone other than family watched our chocolate lab and Krissy did not disappoint!! She showed him love and care. He had a blast at her house for the week. She kept us updated throughout his stay by sending pictures and answered all questions in a timely manner. Would highly recommend and will be using again!!
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 August 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 August 2026, there are 12,812 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.
