“Sheronda was a great sitter for my elderly poodle! She provided updates and photos and was very conscientious about a couple of special instructions I left. Sheronda is highly reliable and very personable. I highly recommend her!”
“I once again couldn't be happier that I found Mark & Sylva to watch my boys Buddy & Connor. This is the 2nd time they've watched my boys and once again I'm deeply appreciative of the attention and care they give my babies. The pictures and daily updates eased my worries about being gone. I would recommend them to watch your fur babies over and over again.”
“Rocket loves going to Mellysa’s and playing with her sweet puppies! She sends the best updates, and obviously goes above and beyond to care for Rocket. She gives me peace of mind!”
“We couldn’t have been happier with our first experience leaving our dog with Kyle. Her love of dogs is obvious. She took such good care of him and kept in regular contact with us with pictures and videos. He came home happy and unstressed. Actually, I’m not sure he wanted to come home 😆. We definitely recommend her!”
“Larry took excellent care of our dog while we were away for the weekend. He was extremely professional and made sure to ask questions to ensure our dog was as comfortable as possible. We received updates during our time away on how our little guy was doing. We were extremely satisfied with our experience and will definitely keep Larry in mind for our next trip!”
“My dog had a great time with Patty! She was so communicative throughout my dog’s stay. I always get anxious leaving my pup when I go on vacation but Patty made me feel so comfortable. I received many photos and updates while I was away and my dog came home happy and healthy. I can’t recommend Patty enough and my pup will be back.”
“Brigid was perfect for my older dog Scout. She is very loving and attentive. Scout seemed very content with Brigid, who kept me updated with photos and videos. I couldn't have asked for a better sitter for Scout.”
“Kimberly was fantastic! Mocha had such a fun weekend with her and Kimberly sent me lots of photo updates. She was also very flexible with changes in my travel plans which was greatly appreciated.”
“Jannice was wonderful! From the moment we met, I could tell she loves animals. Our dog Lili took to her right away. I highly recommend her! You can’t trust just anyone with your furry baby, but I know I can trust Jannice. - Caroline”
“I have a high anxiety; high energy breed and Cache took amazing care of him. Additionally, she sent plenty of updates/ videos, so I didn't have to worry about him. I will 100% be rebooking with her!”
“Richelle was amazing! She kept us updated every day on how our pup was doing, which really put our minds at ease. Teddy had a blast going on walks and received so much love and care, especially since he’s quite the energetic ball of joy! We're incredibly grateful for her flexibility in taking our last-minute request due to a family emergency. We will absolutely be using her services again in the future!”
“Omg, we’re so thankful for Geena! Story time, so our previous sitter was unavailable but the app said she was available (technology lol). So we were worried because we didn’t have a backup plan and we needed a sitter for my grandma’s funeral. Geena was so helpful with last minute arrangements and made us feel so comfortable with leaving our fur babies for the day. She responded to all my messages, questions and even sent pictures. We were able to attend the funeral with no worries and even booked her again for our vacation. I would definitely recommend using her and we will continue to book with her. Thank you again 💜🫶🏾💜”
“Amanda is the best dog-sitter ever and Woodrow had a fantastic time with her!!!! Amanda was very transparent, kept in constant contact and sent plenty of pics of Woodrow on hikes, walks, sleeping, sun bathing and playing. I can leave Woodrow without any concerns at all. I would definitely recommend Amanda and leave Woodrow with her again for future trips! Thank you so much for taking care of my boy and allowing me to have a worry-free vacation. 🫶🏼”
“Marisa has been very accommodating to each of my stays for my dog!! I couldn’t more appreciative. I will definitely reach out in the future for more stays! Thanks Marisa!!”

“(I have a BullyMix) Jayla is great! Warm personality can see she is caring and my pup will be in great hands and he was!! This was my first time and my pups first of staying overnight and overall with someone he doesn't know. She shared pictures and updates and accommodated my delay in schedule. He seemed happy and at ease! Thank you will be booking again.”
“Emer took great care of our little dog. Her house and yard are well set up for dogs. She was easy to communicate with and a pleasure to deal with. My dog came home happy and relaxed.”

Dog parents share their Rover experiences - Watervliet
This was our first time leaving our baby with Kimberly and of course we were all nervous. Kimberly did very well keeping us informed of Ila's progress with daily, multiple photos. I was a little more worried because Ila didn't eat anything because she too was in a different environment and she's just a picky eater. Kimberly tried her best to get Ila to eat something, but it was difficult. I appreciated how she just took extra measures to help Ila feel comfortable. We will definitely ask for Kimberly's help in future.
Emmaly is amazing! She has been both our regular dog walker and boarding sitter, and I always know Nutmeg is in great hands. She sends lots of pictures and videos, keeps me updated, and it's obvious how much she genuinely cares about the dogs she watches. This stay was extra special because her daughters even threw Nutmeg a little birthday party! He came home happy, healthy, and completely exhausted from all the fun. I can't recommend Emmaly enough if you're looking for someone who will treat your dog like family.
Omg, we’re so thankful for Geena! Story time, so our previous sitter was unavailable but the app said she was available (technology lol). So we were worried because we didn’t have a backup plan and we needed a sitter for my grandma’s funeral. Geena was so helpful with last minute arrangements and made us feel so comfortable with leaving our fur babies for the day. She responded to all my messages, questions and even sent pictures. We were able to attend the funeral with no worries and even booked her again for our vacation. I would definitely recommend using her and we will continue to book with her. Thank you again 💜🫶🏾💜
Sheronda was amazing! She was so accommodating to the needs of my girl violet who is shy and anxious at times. Violet had an amazing time staying here and playing with the other dogs and I received so many pictures and updates on how she was doing throughout my trip. Absolutely will be rebooking next time I need a dog sitter!
Amanda was extremely organized and communicated clearly throughout the entire process. Her home was a perfect fit for Timon and he came home in tip top shape, ready to get back to lounging around on the couch. We would absolutely recommend and consider Amanda for future trips. It was a pleasure.
Frances and her family are amazing! Our sweet girl Dolly was in the best hands and we are so grateful that she got so much activity and attention. Frances was very easy to communicate with and gave plenty of pictures which made my day. Would absolutley re-book and reccomend
I didn’t think it was possible for my puppy to be tired but she is wiped from her weekend with Net and her pack! She had the best time playing and I was able to enjoy my trip knowing she was safe in a great home. Net was so accommodating about my last minute trip and understanding of my flat tire on the way home! I received several updates each day and we were sent home with some goodies! Will absolutely use Net again in the future. Highly recommend!
We had a last minute need to find a caretaker for our 5 year old Goldendoodle. Jonathan responded promptly, and was wonderful with her! She tends to be a tad anxious in new settings, but he made her feel very comfortable almost immediately. He also sent us regular updates and photos. It gave me a peace of mind. Jonathan has a great vibe!

FAQs for Dog Boarding - Watervliet
Frequently asked questions about Rover
The average cost for Dog Boarding in Watervliet on Rover is $49.95 per night (as of July 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 July 2026, there are 413 sitters on Rover offering Dog Boarding across Watervliet. 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.
98% of Watervliet 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 Watervliet 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 Watervliet 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 Watervliet.
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 Watervliet 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.
