Kevinh was fantastic! He gave adequate updates on Zula and sent lots of cute pictures. Drop off and pick up was a breeze and he responds to messages quickly. He’s also very flexible if you have travel delays. I could tell that Zula was very comfortable around him. I would highly recommend.

Jennifer took such wonderful care of our puppy for an entire week. It was like leaving him with a family member and we couldn’t be happier. We will definitely work with Jennifer again.

This was the first time I have left my Westie in 9.5 years. Debbie was very easy to work with and Lady settled in quickly and was very comfortable with Debbie and her dogs. She has a great fenced yard and sent pictures throughout the weekend to keep us informed. I highly recommend Debbie and will ise her again.

Brigid did a great job taking care of our senior dog for the first time. She was very communicative and sent us photos of various happenings during the days that Jessie was at her house. We appreciated knowing that all was well while we were away. Brigid was very conscientious in following through with all instructions for our dog’s care. We have already booked her for another time.

This is the second time we entrust Penny to Christopher and his lovely wife, and they continue to provide wonderful care for my elderly pup, all while sending me pics and videos of her, which is always wonderful. Penny requires attentive care with meds and some ear cleaning, and Christopher did both. They are great dog sitters!

Margie and her family are absolutely wonderful. Very easy to schedule a meet and greet, time to drop off/pick up our dog and received plenty of updates and photos. Our dog has anxiety issues and Margie made sure to care for her needs (excelled, really), and was comfortable giving medicine to her each day. We will book another time for sure!

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!

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!

Tucker loved his stay with Mike, Amy, and their dog Bear. Bear and Tucker were fast friends and we got pictures of them enjoying their time together throughout the weekend. We were very happy to know that he was well cared for while we were away and will definitely rebook in the future when we need it!

Maggie is awesome. She took good care of my dog when we were out of town for the weekend. She sent photos and videos everyday, and also followed feeding/walking instructions. Our boy had a great time with her! We would definitely come back to her again if needed.

Samantha and her partner Zachary took fabulous care of our two dogs for three days. They are both high energy young dogs, one 7 months and one 13 months old and we were worried that they were going to be a problem. They love each other, romping like crazy with each other indoors and out and Samantha and Zach had no problem dealing with them. When we went to pick them up, it was obvious that both dogs really liked their caregivers. What more can one hope for in someone taking care of their dogs? We will be using them again when we are back in the Albany area. Thank you, Samantha and Zachary! Clifford and Ann Wagner

About: What sets me apart is the level of compassion, patience, and individualized care I provide to every dog I meet. As a licensed Mental Health Counselor, my profession is built on trust, attentiveness, and understanding each individual’s unique needs—and I bring that same approach to caring for pets. I don’t believe in a one-size-fits-all experience. Whether your dog is energetic and loves long walks, prefers a slower pace, or simply enjoys extra cuddles and companionship, I’ll tailor my care to what makes them feel happiest and most comfortable. I treat every dog as if they were my own, keeping pet parents updated with photos and messages so you can relax knowing your furry family member is safe, loved, and receiving exceptional care every step of the way. Hi! I’m a licensed Mental Health Counselor with a genuine love for animals and a passion for providing compassionate, dependable care. My career has taught me the value of patience, trust, and creating a calm, supportive environment—qualities I bring to every pet I care for. I offer evening dog walks after 7:00 PM, making it easy for busy pet parents to ensure their dogs get the exercise, attention, and potty breaks they need. I also provide weekend boarding in my loving home, so you can enjoy a weekend away knowing your furry family member is safe, comfortable, and treated like one of my own. Whether we’re going for a walk, playing, cuddling, or simply relaxing, I’ll make sure your pup receives plenty of love, attention, and personalized care. I understand how important it is to leave your pet with someone you trust, and I’m committed to giving you peace of mind while you’re away. I live in a clean, pet-friendly apartment without a fenced yard, but that doesn’t mean your dog will miss out on exercise or outdoor time! My own dog enjoys multiple walks throughout the day, and I make it a priority to provide regular potty breaks, fresh air, and plenty of physical activity. We have a wonderful neighborhood that’s perfect for safe, enjoyable walks, and I’ll make sure your pup gets the same level of care, attention, and exercise as my own. Every dog has different needs, so I’ll tailor our walks and activity level to match your pet’s age, energy level, and personality, ensuring they stay happy, healthy, and comfortable during their stay.

Amazing people. You can tell right away they care for your dog just as much as you would yourself. Our dog had so much fun there I wasn’t sure she would want to come back! Would recommend them to anyone I know and will definitely use them again.

FAQs for Boarding - West Sand Lake

Frequently asked questions about Rover

The average cost for Dog Boarding in West Sand Lake on Rover is $49.95 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 400 sitters on Rover offering Dog Boarding across West Sand Lake. 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 West Sand Lake 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 Sand Lake 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 Sand Lake 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 Sand Lake.

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 Sand Lake 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.
