“I had to go on a trip that was booked months in advance but with the holidays around the corner, it was very hard to find someone caring and trustworthy. I came across Chris and his wonderful home and thought why not. Once I dropped my pups off it was like they entered their second home. They were given full attention and the best treatment any dog owner could ask for. I was updated with photos and videos almost every hour. It was almost like as if I never left. I definitely will be coming back again. If you need a trustworthy and attentive sitter, look no further than here! Thank you Chris!”
“Karina took great care of our fur baby during our vacation. We received pictures and updates multiple times a day. Karina is highly recommended and we’ll definitely book her again!”
“We had a unique situation that lead us to Eric and he was incredibly accommodating. I forgot my dog's bed and he was able to provide one. He took great care of our shepherd and sent us several photos to show us our dog was doing just fine. Eric is a super nice guy to boot! Would highly recommend!”
“Michelle was a Godsend!!! I was referred to her for a last minute dog sitter. The moment I met her I knew she truly loves dogs. Michelle put my mind at ease and I knew Rocki would be in excellent hands. Rocki is normally standoffish and LOVED her immediately after meeting her. She sent pictures, videos, and updates throughout the night. Rocki is very scared of thunderstorms and she petted her throughout the night to keep her calm. I will definitely use her again! HIGHLY RECOMMEND!!!!!!”
“Another great vacation for Frodo with Britany - she’s the best! She sent daily photos and videos without me even having to ask, and I never worried about Frodo during his stay. He looked like he was having the best time, and I honestly don’t think he wanted to leave when we picked him up! We can’t wait for Frodo to stay with her again in the future.”
“Miss Narly is an amazing fur mama! She took my lil Shiloh for 7days and never failed to send me updates with pictures everyday. Her house is so clean and amazing and have a huge fenced backyard. She is very professional. Loves dog truly! I will def come back.”
“Pam does it again!!! Mugsy can be such an anxious little guy when away from our little family, but he waltzed right into Pam’s house knowing he was in good hands!!!! We received multiple updates throughout our extended trip which kept the kids (and me!) calm knowing he was in such a loved and welcomed home!!! Pam’s house has become Mugsys own little vacation as he gets spoiled with treats and playtime with all of his new doggy friends!!!! Thank you so much Pam!!!!”
“Michael did an amazing job! He was very responsive, and provided updates throughout our dogs stay with him. He made pickup and drop off smooth and easy, and our dog had a great time with him. This was her first time with a sitter, and she really enjoyed herself. I would recommend Michael to anyone and everyone to use for future pet sitting.”
“I couldn’t be any happier with the service Nachay provides. Not only did she take care of Jacob for the last 4 days, but the amount of updates made us feel even more secure with our decision to go with her. He was treated like family. Thank you Nachay for your professionalism and attention to detail. You rock!!!”
“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.”
“Jana was an excellent caretaker for our shiba inu. When we met her we immediately had the sense that we were meeting someone highly intelligent and empathetic, which are precisely the qualities we look for when seeking out someone to take care of our favorite family member. Jana communicated with us consistently throughout the week she looked after our girl, and put an obviously high amount to effort into making our girl feel happy, safe, and loved. We always feel high degrees of stress when we leave our dog behind, but I can’t think of anyone that could have put us more at ease than Jana. Thank you Jana!”
“Cannot say enough great things about Sam and her family. You can truly tell they love animals and took care of my dog like he was their own. She kept me updated and send me pictures for the week I was away. My dog truly did not want to leave when I went to pick him up. I know he cannot wait to go back!”
“So very happy my dog was able to stay with Amy and her family. We had multiple updates throughout the day with many pictures. We felt confident our dog was in safe and loving hands. Would definitely use her services again in the future.”
“Eddie is the most reliable dog carer we found on Rover. He knows exactly how to take care of our dog, and gives proper exercise and food. Our dog is always happy and healthy when we pick him up. Highly recommended!”
“I can’t recommend Samantha enough! From the moment we met, I knew my dog was in amazing hands. She treated my pup like family — giving them tons of love, attention, and care. While I was away, she kept me updated with regular messages and adorable photos, which gave me so much peace of mind. My dog came home happy, calm, and clearly well taken care of. It’s such a relief knowing there’s someone I can fully trust with my fur baby. I’ll absolutely be booking with Samantha again. Thank you for everything!”

From the first meet and greet, we knew that Cynthia would take a great care of our Canela. She sent us updates regularly which made us feel at peace while on vacation. My daughters asked if we can always leave our dog with her whenever we go away. We definitely will. Thank you so much Cynthia.
Lisa took such amazing care of Ruffles while we were away for 3 weeks. She sent daily updates with photos and videos that really put our minds at ease while we were miles away. We will absolutely be using Lisa again for our future needs and highly recommend her for your fur babies!
We had a unique situation that lead us to Eric and he was incredibly accommodating. I forgot my dog's bed and he was able to provide one. He took great care of our shepherd and sent us several photos to show us our dog was doing just fine. Eric is a super nice guy to boot! Would highly recommend!
Tanu is great! She took good care of our 6 year old Ace for a day. She loves your pet like it’s her own. Ace is picky with his eating habits and spoiled I should say, but she was very concerned when he skipped his meal. She followed all our instructions and sent us pictures of Ace more often than we expected. He was very happy at her place. I would use her services again without any hesitation and would recommend her to anyone who is looking for an excellent sitter for their furry. Thank you so much Tanu for taking care of Ace!
We couldn’t have asked for a better pet sitter! From the moment we met her, we felt completely comfortable leaving our fur baby in her care. She was reliable, attentive, and genuinely loving. We received regular updates and photos which gave us so much peace of mind while we were away. Thank you, Grace!
Kara was an absolute joy to work with. From the initial meet-and-greet to the thoughtful pictures and updates she sent throughout the stay, she made the entire experience stress-free and reassuring. Knowing my pet was safe and well cared for gave me complete peace of mind. She was definitely the right choice, and I will certainly book with her again!
Once again, I was worry and stress free leaving Lucas in the care of Caitlyn and family. They are so kind and caring with Lucas. He is particular and has specific needs which they are able to accommodate. I received updates, pics and stayed informed of his care during our time away. Thank you so much for taking excellent care of my furbaby :)
Erica did a great job babysitting our two dogs while we were on vacation. She communicated with us every single day, kept us updated with how they were doing, and gave us peace of mind while we were gone. I would absolutely recommend her to anyone looking for a trustworthy person sitter!

The average cost for Dog Boarding in West Hempstead on Rover is $73.26 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 13,528 sitters on Rover offering Dog Boarding across West Hempstead. 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 West Hempstead 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 West Hempstead 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 West Hempstead 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 West Hempstead.
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 West Hempstead 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.
