“Sheronda was great! Communicated often with us, sent us lots of great photos of our dog, and did a great job socializing him with the other dogs (making him comfortable). She has a great back yard (fenced in), with lots of great areas to walk dogs. Overall we are super pleased, will be booking with them again!”
“Sylva, Mark and family were fantastic hosts for Rey. They provided great updates and pictures over the 4-night stay. Rey seemed to have a great time and made herself at home. I will definitely reach out to them again for our next trip.”
“Debbie was patient, kind, and flexible in every aspect. I would highly recommend her and I plan on requesting her boarding services the next time I need them. Thank you so much Deb!”
“Tenzin was amazing! She took great care of my nigh energy puppy and was super communicative throughout the stay. I really appreciated her help. My puppy came home relax, tired, and happy. Thanks Tenzin!!”
“Brigid was amazing with my little Peach. She took great care of her and gave her lots of affection. Knowing Peach was with Brigid gave me great peace of mind while I was away. I highly recommend her!”
About: I’ve been taking care of dogs most of my life. This is the first time since I was 6 years old that I don't have a pup to take care of. I grew up in a very pet oriented household (including cats, dogs and pet pigs). I used to volunteer with my mom at the Mohawk Humane Society so I have a lot of experience with all different kinds of dogs. I live in a great walkable neighborhood with lots of greenery trails. I do work full time so I am not available from 8am-5pm but I have a very flexible schedule on weekends and nights after 5pm. I currently work full time at a Cardiologist Practice so I am available for walks and dog sitting on weekends only. I am available after 6pm for night time dog walks as well. I live in a very walkable area with lots of trails / sidewalks that I personally enjoy walking on daily. I do not personally have any animals so I have a lot of space and attention to give to a pup.
“Kimberly was very nice to my kittens. She sent me at least 2 pictures per day and updated me daily. For sure she will be my choice for future whenever I need to leave my cats in the future again.”
“Samantha was wonderful to work with - sent lots of great updates on our pup throughout the visit and we felt totally at ease knowing Milo was in good hands. Definitely recommend Samantha!”
“I highly recommend boarding with Maggie. I have relied on her for dog boarding for several years, since my dog was a puppy. He is prone to stress induced tummy troubles from my longer trips away, but Maggie always takes extra care to ensure he’s happy, comfortable, and cared for—and consequently he’s had no issues from boarding for quite some time. I trust and recommend her care, and my dog is always excited to see her at drop off (which I take as a strong indicator of his comfort level there). I’ve also had spontaneous adjustments to travel plans occur (e.g. cancelled return flights), and Maggie has been flexible in adjusting accommodations as needed and overall has been a great help in reducing the stress that comes with those scenarios.”
“Meeting Peg for the first time she put all my fears to rest about leaving my 2 dogs. Her home is very pet friendly with lots of outside time and doggie friends to play with. She treated my dogs as though they were her own. I will not hesitate to call on her again knowing my babies are in good hands.”
“I truly cannot say enough good things about Gillian! My dog, Benson, has serious separation anxiety along with specific dietary and medical needs, and it has been such a relief to finally find someone I completely trust to care for him. I never thought I’d see the day where he’d happily run into a sitter’s home—until we found her! From day one, Gillian has gone above and beyond to make sure he’s comfortable, safe, and genuinely happy. She understands all of Benson’s quirks and needs, and treats him with the same patience and love that I do. It’s so clear how much she cares about every dog she looks after and truly treats them as her own. She’s also great about sending daily updates with photos and thoughtful notes, which give me so much peace of mind while I’m away. I always know he’s in the very best hands with her!”
“Jialin and John watched my new senior rescue Bianca for a long weekend and were so good to her! I was a little nervous since I had her less than a month and was still figuring out her unique behaviors and preferences but she was in great hands. We did a meet and greet beforehand and Boo-boo was a great host, sharing his home and parents. Jialin even taught Bianca a new trick that we have been working on back home. Bianca was sent home with a plastic baggie of some treats she liked to keep the good times going back home. I look forward to the next time Bianca can stay with them!”
“Super easy boarding experience! My 10 month old puppy gets a little anxious in new places and she did great with Jack. She had tons of fun playing and came back to us happy and healthy!”
“I’ve booked Kevinh twice now, this time was a last minute, long-term arrangement. He was just as wonderful with Zula as he was the first time. He’s incredibly attentive to her needs, and I can see she adores him. He’s excellent! Absolutely no complaints at all.”
“Last minute urgent booking with Lori. She is very reliable, responsible, and an amazing person. She took care of my dog as of her own. I am extremely satisfied and highly recommend.”
“Mery and Brad looked after my greyhound Nadia for a few nights and they did a marvelous job! Setting up Nadia's stay was very easy and my messages were replied to promptly. I was also kept updated throughout her stay. Nadia was obviously happy and well looked after when I went to pick her up; I would definitely recommend Mery and Brad to anyone looking for caring and wonderful dog sitters!”
“Natthinee is an awesome sitter! She communicates daily w an update and photos. My doodle got along w hers. Many walks. Snuggles on the couch😊 I will definitely have her watch Rudy again even though she’s a 30 minute drive away👍👍”

Frances is amazing! We will absolutley rebook and I would reccomend her to any fur parent. She is very communicative, sends lots of photo and video updates, and showers my pup with the love she deserves. I can travel stress free knowing my baby is getting amazing care.
Richelle was amazing! She was available when we were in a bind and she was able to care for our dog while we were out of the country. She kept us informed for the whole time and our dog seemed happy and well-cared for. We will happily book her again in the future!

The average cost of Dog Boarding in Waterford is $44 per night as of October 2026. Most bookings cost between $33 and $72 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 October 2026, there are 391 sitters on Rover offering Dog Boarding across Waterford. Enter your ZIP code to see which available sitters are closest to your home.
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.
95% of sitters in Waterford 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 Waterford home-away-from-home, 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 Waterford.
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 Waterford 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 , 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 .
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.
