“Lucy took excellent care of our 1 year-old golden doodle! She requires lots of activity which she got at the park daily. Lucy provided great daily updates including videos of their adventures and snaps of her enjoying the day at home playing with toys or just watching people go by out the window. We will definitely book again with her!”
“Katherine was a godsend when I needed an emergency cat sitter for my little man. She’s accommodating, friendly, and communicative. Also, I appreciated the gentleness she used with my cat, which put my mind at ease while he was boarding. I highly recommend Katherine as a sitter. She’ll definitely be repeat resource for us.”
“Rhinesca made my first dog sitting experience wonderful. She had excellent communication & sent pictures daily. My Kobe fell in love with her on the first visit. I would definitely recommend her & I attended to use her again.”
“Essence is the best! I know my dogs are in great hands with her. She is always flexible with us, she sends us updates without us having to ask, my dogs are always happy when they leave her place. She is the best and I am so grateful for her. Xoxo thank you Essence.”
“Again, another great stay with Cindy and her family. Always tries to accommodate our requests. Already 3rd time with her and definitely will not be our last. We will see you again soon!”
“Words cannot express how grateful I am for Omar. Not only did my overly anxious dog feel extremely comfortable with him right away but he made sure to keep me consistently updated and made sure to keep her very active. I had some travel issues that caused me to need Omar to keep Phoenix an extra day and he was so accommodating which is very important in a pet sitter. Phoenix is in love with him and we will most definitely be back!”
“Iliana was absolutely wonderful!! She took such good care of my pup, sent so many photos and updates and was very communicative and easy to reach! My dog Abby loved her, 10 out of 10 I would definitely recommend and definitely will be reaching out to her again when I need someone to watch my sweet pup ❤️🤗”
“Kiara has a lovely home with a backyard which is a huge plus in my eyes. My dog gets nervous/shy when going to new places and she was really great with him. I definitely plan to return and highly recommend her!”
“Maria was simply amazing! Many pictures and video multiple times a day of our dog playing in the park swimming at the beach with her and other dogs. And again at the park and the beach… Amazing! Thank you for taking such good care of our dog we definitely recommend Maria’s help in any possible way!”
“William and his family have been amazing. I received updates and pictures every day I was away from my pitty and will absolutely be sending her back in the future. Thanks again William!”
About: I’m a lifelong dog lover and have grown up around dogs. I personally trained my own dog from the ground up, and he is completely house-trained and well behaved. I’m very comfortable maintaining routines, reinforcing good habits, and making sure each pup feels safe and comfortable in my care. I have a flexible work schedule and spend a lot of time at home, so your dog will get plenty of attention, companionship, playtime, and walks. I love taking long walks with my own dog and would be happy to keep your pup’s usual routine as closely as possible. As an OT, I am very patient, attentive, responsible, and observant of individual needs. I have no children in my home, so it’s a calm environment where I can give your pet my full attention. Most importantly, I genuinely love animals and will treat your dog like family! Get ready to receive tons of pictures! 🐾 I’m currently working on a part time schedule with availability all morning and early afternoons. I work 4x/week about 4 hours each day. I’m available every weekend from Thursday-Sunday. I have my own fur baby to help keep your pup company. I will make sure to keep your dog on a schedule as needed. Long walks are already a part of our daily routine!
“Vivian is the best! My schedule can be difficult to work with and she’s always been flexible with me. My dog always drags me towards her apartment whenever we walk by, he LOVES going over her place. I would definitely recommend.”
“Sayarlin was an amazing sitter for my dog Storm and my cat Jelly Bean. Not only did she take wonderful care for them by creating a cozy space that feels like home, but she provided reassurance through daily updates while I was away. She is an effective communicator and responds swiftly. The pets loved staying with her, too. I will definitely be keeping her in mind for future boarding!”
“Riti was amazing with Maggie! Riti's dog Sky is adorable and very friendly. We loved hearing about Maggie and Sky's adventures. They became quick buddies. Riti sent lots of a pics and was always quick to respond to any texts. Maggie came home happy and looking great. Thanks Riti!”
“Pachara and Steven were awesome for our boxer! Pachara sent so many updates and was very communicative. Steven’s experience in the emergency veterinary world is very reassuring! We would absolutely book with them again!”
“Dana provided wonderful care for Axl, our Brittany spaniel who is full of energy. She sent updates and photos daily, so we knew he was happy and in good hands. She’s experienced, knowledgeable, and her loving care enabled us to enjoy our vacation without worrying about him. Highly recommend Dana and plan to use her for our future vacation coverage needs.”

Our dog Kati had a great stay with Cindy and her family. We booked her last minute because our other arrangements fell through. We were a little nervous since Kati sometimes takes a little while to get used to people. She was very flexible and communicative throughout the stay. Kati seemed to settle in much quicker than with other dog sitters and had a great time running in the park nearby. She seemed very well cared for and was clearly given lots of attention throughout. We rebooked her halfway through the stay because Kati seemed to be getting along with them so well.
Chialing went above and beyond for out little Beagle Billy, and was able to help us out with a last minute request and not only did Billy have the best day ever but was so happy he didn't want to leave! 10/10 would book again. Communication was constant, clear and and many happy pictures of our little puppy. Thank you so much!
Pachara and Steve took great care of my dog , Mashu. They were very good about communication and bonding with my dog. I felt comfortable leaving my dog with them for 12 days. Mashu became very comfortable with them and I was glad to see he was getting a lot of affection and attention during his stay. They listened to my instructions about my dog and took care to follow them . I would recommend Pachara and Steve to anyone looking for a pet sitter.
Brayhana is the best. I rely on my dog to tell me how a sitter does, and Rosie makes it very clear that she adores her. Rosie gets excited as soon as we turn onto the block and bounds toward the front door. I know she’s is treated with love and care, and I appreciate how Brayhana checks in each day.
Riti was amazing with Maggie! Riti's dog Sky is adorable and very friendly. We loved hearing about Maggie and Sky's adventures. They became quick buddies. Riti sent lots of a pics and was always quick to respond to any texts. Maggie came home happy and looking great. Thanks Riti!
We left our doggy again with this lovely family - who now have a baby who is also so sweet with Wilbur. We love them so much and love knowing Wilbur is being taken care. During the heat wave, they made sure to take special care (walking in the morning, ensuring AC is on) as our dog gets super hot outside.
Noelle was a fantastic caretaker for our dog, Dodger. She helped out last minute, watching him for the weekend. He usually gets a little stressed after car rides and being left with strangers but he warmed up easily. Noelle sent great pictures and updates during the weekend and we will definitely be reaching out to her again!
Essence is the best! I know my dogs are in great hands with her. She is always flexible with us, she sends us updates without us having to ask, my dogs are always happy when they leave her place. She is the best and I am so grateful for her. Xoxo thank you Essence.
Jesus took wonderful care of my dog Benji while I was away. I really appreciated the frequent updates with photos and videos throughout his stay. Benji can be a little cautious when he meets new people, but Jesus was very patient, caring and made him feel comfortable. It was clear that he received plenty of attention, playtime, and affection. When I picked him up, he was happy and relaxed. I am so grateful for the excellent care and communication and would highly recommend Jesus to anyone looking for a reliable and loving dog sitter. I would definitely book with him again.
I cannot say enough amazing things about Lakeema! From the moment Winter arrived, I knew she was in great hands, but Lakeema exceeded every expectation. She treated Winter like one of her own, and it was clear that Winter absolutely fell in love with her and her family. Throughout the stay, I received updates that gave me so much peace of mind, and when I picked Winter up, she came home happy, relaxed, and literally smiling. It was obvious she had been showered with love, attention, and care the entire time. What truly touched my heart was the kindness Lakeema showed me as well. She even surprised me with a birthday cake, which was such a thoughtful gesture and completely unexpected. That level of care and generosity speaks volumes about the kind of person she is. As a dog mom, finding someone you trust with your fur baby is priceless, and I can confidently say Winter has found her sitter for life. We are so grateful for Lakeema and her wonderful family, and I know Winter is already looking forward to her next visit! Thank you, Lakeema, for loving Winter like your own. ❤️🐾🎂
Monica was great with my two shih-poos! She was loving, extra attentive, and took care of several details, including insulin shots and careful walks with my older dog who is diabetic and blind. She sent videos and photos, and was lovely to deal with. I recommend!
Beatriz and her family genuinely care about our fur babies as if they were their own! My dogs are older, one has arthritis and separation anxiety, yet Beatriz gave him the love and attention he required. She was extraordinarily accommodating. Her home is spacious and very pet friendly. She sends daily pictures and updates. When I am making travel arrangements, I check her availability first because I wouldn’t want anyone else to care for my pets during my absence. Thank you Beatriz!
We got just the right amount of pictures and video, enough to see she was having her best life but not an overwhelming number that interrupted our vacation. Our pup had itchy ears and she informed us immediately and asked what she could do. When it persisted, she came up with options that were safe and helpful. Second time our pup has stayed with her, definitely our go-to sitter from now on

Frequently asked questions about Rover
The average cost for Dog Boarding in Yonkers on Rover is $55.5 per night (as of September 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 September 2026, there are 13,778 sitters on Rover offering Dog Boarding across Yonkers. 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 Yonkers 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 Yonkers 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 Yonkers 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 Yonkers.
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 Yonkers 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.
