Dog Boarding in New York
The kennel alternative: a real home, not a crate
New York is one of the most dog-dense cities in the United States, but also one of the trickiest to leave a dog in. Manhattan apartments rarely have outdoor space, traditional kennels are scarce and stressful, and many doormen buildings make traditional pet care complicated. Petme connects you with verified in-home sitters across every borough, from Upper East Side studios to Park Slope brownstones to Astoria walk-ups, so your dog gets a quiet sofa, a familiar routine, and Central Park or Prospect Park walks rather than a concrete pen.
Petme charges pet owners in New York 0% commission. The price you agree with your sitter is the price you pay, with no service fees layered on top. Every completed stay earns cashback that compounds across bookings, and every reservation includes up to $22,000 through the Protection Plan, meaningful peace of mind in a city where a 2 a.m. emergency vet visit at Animal Medical Center or BluePearl can otherwise be a real financial risk.

FAQ
Common questions about dog boarding in New York
How much does dog boarding cost in New York City?
In-home dog boarding in NYC typically runs $45-$95 per night, with Manhattan averaging higher than the outer boroughs. On Petme, owners pay 0% commission, the rate you agree with your sitter is the rate you pay, and earn cashback after every completed stay.
Is in-home dog boarding better than a kennel in NYC?
For most New York dogs, yes. Manhattan and Brooklyn kennels are often loud, cramped, and offer limited outdoor time. A Petme home boarder gives your dog a couch, a routine, and real walks in Central Park, Prospect Park, or Riverside Park, far closer to their day-to-day life.
Do Petme sitters in NYC accept large breeds?
Yes. Many of our verified NYC sitters have ground-floor apartments, brownstones with backyards, or Queens and Brooklyn homes that comfortably accommodate large breeds. Use the size filter when searching to match your dog with a suitable home.
Can I find last-minute dog boarding in Manhattan?
Petme shows real-time availability so you can book same-day or next-day boarding in Manhattan, Brooklyn, and Queens. Last-minute availability is highest mid-week; weekends and holidays book out faster, especially in popular areas like the Upper West Side and Williamsburg.
What does the $22,000 Protection Plan cover during a NYC boarding stay?
Every Petme booking includes up to $22,000 through the Protection Plan. If your dog needs urgent care during a stay, whether at the BluePearl on Park Avenue, Animal Medical Center, or any licensed NYC clinic, eligible costs are covered. Full terms live in the Petme app.
How does cashback work for New York pet owners?
After each completed boarding stay in New York, cashback is credited automatically to your Petme account. The longer the booking and the more frequently you book, the more you accumulate. Cashback can be applied to future stays.
