“Rhinesca took great care of our guy while we were away. We received updates on his daily walks and he was so happy. We were worried he would not want to come home. In the future we will certainly book another stay.”
“Our dog had a great stay with Noelle over the holidays. She clearly has an excellent way with dogs because our slightly nervous pooch seemed to feel at home right away, even with other dogs in the house (which she was not used to). We received regular updates with photos from Noelle and we felt very reassured that our dog was in very good hands. We would recommend Noelle!”
“I had such a wonderful experience with my first-time dog sitter Kiara! 🐾❤️ I immediately knew she was the one I wanted to care for my twin boys, and she did an amazing job taking care of them for 5 days. I would usually text her to check in, and she was always quick to respond with updates and photos of the boys. It was so reassuring to know they were in good hands. The twins seemed to really like her and gradually became comfortable with her, which made me so happy! I would absolutely rebook with her again, if she’ll have us back! 😊 Thank you so much for taking such wonderful care of my fur babies. I truly appreciate you, and I’m sending a little tip as a token of my appreciation. Highly recommend! ❤️🐶”
“I cannot say enough good things about our experience with Binta! She was wonderful, incredibly attentive, and overly accommodating throughout Laila’s entire stay. I absolutely loved the picture updates she sent me—it was such a relief to see Laila so happy and well cared for. Binta made sure Laila was comfortable and treated like family. It’s amazing to find someone so trustworthy and flexible. I’ll definitely be booking with Binta again!”
“incredible dog sitter! Puppies can be a handful, but he was so patient, gentle, and attentive throughout the entire stay. He handled the puppy energy effortlessly and kept me updated the whole time. I truly cannot recommend him enough and will definitely be booking with him again!”
“Christina and Nick were great with Ollie. They updated us with photos regularly and felt very comfortable with Ollie being there. They also graciously did a meet and greet beforehand as Ollie can be selective with new people. Definitely will be booking again!”
“Kate and Juan are fantastic petsitters. They treat my dog, Hodoo better than me, and they walk my dog more than me. I felt really at ease as I received photos every day, every time. I was even worried that my dog wouldn't want to come back home. Thank you very much, Kate & Juan. Now, because of Kate and Juan, I think I can go on a business trip or a vacation with confidence.”
“Natali took wonderful care of Griffin while I was away. She was very patient with all of his quirks and special needs. She was very communicative and regularly let me know how he was doing. I really felt like she made Griffin very comfortable in her home and cared for him as if he were her own. I’m also very grateful to her for being so accommodating when I realized at the last minute that I had booked for the wrong dates! I would absolutely trust her to watch Griffin again in the future.”
“Ryan was a phenomenal sitter! He was quick to accept my last minute request. He was attentive and followed all my instructions while sending video and picture updates at my preferred cadence! Ryan is great with dogs and even offered a few toys and treats of his own while checking with me first to see if ok. Ryan was an amazing sitter and I plan to use him again!”
“Awesome experience for my first time using Rover. Needed an extended care of my dog while away for almost 2 weeks and Jorge stepped up when needed most. Pictures and communication kept me calm while away, I was extremely pleased. Will book again when needed!”
“Mariana was so communicative and took such great care of my dog. Agnes clearly enjoyed her time with Mariana. Thank you so much. I will definitely contact you, again.”
“This was our second time booking and Teddy had another great stay! I really appreciate the updates and always feel comfortable knowing he’s in good hands. We’ll definitely book again! 😊”
“Janise was amazing! She took such great care of our dog, Chiara. She was very attentive, kind, and made sure Chiara felt comfortable the entire time. We really appreciated that she sent photos and videos every single day — it gave us so much peace of mind. When we picked her up, Chiara looked happy, relaxed, and very well cared for. We would definitely book with Janise again and highly recommend her!”
“Joanna took great care of Teddy. I loved that Joanna hosted another dog of similar size to play with him. She took many pictures and was always in contact with me. Teddy looked very happy and satisfied with his time with Joanna.”
“5 STARS!!!! Victor is a loving and talented pet person. He saved me in a last minute travel situation! I have a big & powerful dog who is doing her best to be good & calm, but does not always nail it! He was AMAZING with her!! I could tell that she felt totally comfortable and loved the whole 2 weeks I was gone. He walked her a lot and was very understanding about her special attributes & need to destroy toys. She slept in bed with him & was allowed on the couch, which was really comforting for her. I booked him the day before I left town and he was professional, pleasant & flexible with timing. He obviously has a great connection with animals & is an overall lovely person to communicate with on the daily (he sent pics & videos everyday). This is the first time I have picked her up after being away that she is genuinely happy & chill. Def book him!! I have recommended him to my whole family & all of my loved ones who own dogs. He lives on a quiet street with really wide sidewalks, good if your dog has dog reactivity. Perfect experience from start to finish.”
“Yusuf is literally THE BEST and Buddy loves him! Will never trust anyone except him with our pup going forward. Communication is great, he’s very accommodating, and we are grateful for his amazing care. Thanks again Yusuf!”
“Euitae was great with Rabun! He sent pictures, gave us updates on how she was going and was prompt in responding to my texts. I knew she was in good hands. I would highly recommend him.”

Your beloved pet is in great care with Pachara and Steven. We had peace of mind on our trip while our Timmy was in their care. Pachara listened intently to Timmy’s routine and preferences and gave him a comfortable and loving environment until we returned. We are very thankful and would trust them again and recommend them to others.
Jenette was terrific with our baby girl. It was our first time to leave her with anyone so we were nervous, but Jenette put us at ease. She stayed in constant communication and always responded very quickly. She well organized and detailed. We will definitely be leaving our dog with Jenette again!
Janis was wonderful with Benita! She was super responsive, kept me updated, and sent videos, which gave me a lot of peace of mind. Benita is a shy puppy, but she looked happy and comfortable with Janis. I really appreciated her care and would definitely recommend her!
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.
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.
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!

The average cost of Dog Boarding in Yonkers is $48 per night as of November 2026. Most bookings cost between $24 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 November 2026, there are 13,823 sitters on Rover offering Dog Boarding across Yonkers. Enter your ZIP code to see which available sitters are closest to your home.
If you would like updates while you’re away, you can discuss with your sitter how many or how frequent you’d like those updates to be. The Rover app allows sitters to send photos, videos, and messages about your pet, including how many pee or poop breaks occurred. You can message your sitter at any time through the app and our support team is available 24/7 by email or chat if you have concerns.
The personalized, in-home nature of pet care through Rover can mean more individual attention for your pet.
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.
94% of sitters in Yonkers 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 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.
Yes, you can find sitters who have experience with handling special pet needs in Yonkers. On Rover:
- 85% of sitters can help with special care needs
- 90% can help with giving oral medications or injections
- 94% can help with daily exercise
You can also find pet sitters on Rover who accept only one pet at a time, which is ideal for anxious puppies, kittens, or senior pets who move at a gentler pace. Some sitters will also list availability for 24/7 care, also known as constant care, in their profiles.
Use the search filters to narrow down sitters whose specific experience or environment meets your pet's needs. When reaching out to your sitter, outline your pet's care routine and use the Meet & Greet to walk your sitter through your expectations.
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.
Adding another pup to the pack? Most sitters and walkers offer a reduced rate for additional dogs. You’ll find these exact rates listed under the "Services" tab on any sitter's profile. Since every dog is unique, final pricing may vary depending on the level of care required.
