“Michala watched our boy for 4 nights and honestly we could not have asked for a better sitter. We’ve been using Rover for 4 years now and she’s hands down one of the most communicative sitters we’ve had. She sent updates all day so we never had to wonder how he was doing. She took him to the park daily, let him sleep in bed with her, even asked before giving him watermelon, and gave him enrichment toys to keep him busy. You can just tell she actually cares about the dogs she watches, not just going through the motions. Can’t recommend her enough!”
“Sarah took great care of our dog Scout and we appreciate the frequent photo updates. She also provides pick up service and was prompt both ways. Scout is looking forward to spend time with Sarah!”
“Jisu was a wonderful sitter for my dog Lolli. She and her husband took great care of her and sent me regular photos and videos. She is a little dog with a big personality and they really got her and enjoyed having her. When I picked her up it was smooth sailing--no adjustment period--a sure sign that she received plenty of attention and love. Thank you Jisu and Caleb!”
“Gloria and her husband were lovely and took tequila in after last minute travel plans. I'm so happy to have found sitters in my new city that tequila loves!”
“Ashley did a fantastic job watching our dog and a cat. She is close to multiple parks that my dog already loves, and I know he was happy and super well taken care of. Ashley was very on it and I felt 100% secure entrusting our pets to her for a week. Our communication was great and I will certainly have her care for our pets again.”
“Tanzeela was lovely- she provided excellent care for my girl Josie and she happened to be available at short notice! She communicated well with me and was flexible with timing. Highly recommend!”
“Jessica was absolutely fabulous. She took amazing care of our 10 year old mini poodle Copper. Constant walks and play time with great photo updates. He wasn't left alone for extended periods of time. We couldn't have asked for a more pleasant experience. We will definitely be using Jessica again and again.”
“I had a great experience booking my pup for boarding with Carlo while I was away for the holidays! Carlo was super communicative and kept me updated with pictures and messages. I felt very comfortable with my dog in his care and could tell he had a great stay when I picked him up . I would rebook and recommend to others !”
“Christian really helped me out with a last minute boarding request for my dog Joey. He’s super responsive and sent lots of photos - Would definitely recommend!!”
“Nicole was a dream! She took care of my shy dog like her own for 3 days. While my dog is shy and scared of people, Nicole had lots of love, toys and walks for a whole weekend to make him feel at home. Will definitely rebook!”
“Brandon is a true life-saver! After having an unsuccessful encounter with two other sitters, he accepted my frantic short notice request to keep our 7 month old puppy. I contacted Brandon three hours before we were scheduled to drive four hours out of state to catch my overseas flight the next morning. He provided his personal cell number so we could do a brief meet and greet over the phone. I was able to give him all the information and routine schedule for my 7 month old puppy. He even left work an hour early to meet us so he could assume care of my pup and allow us to get on the road to drive to drive to our destination (this was so awesome). He immediately put my mind at ease and I felt comfortable with him and knew that he would be a great sitter for our puppy. Brandon sent lots of pictures and really cool videos of him and my pup interacting and hanging out. My family and I were able to relax and enjoy our 2 weeks vacation abroad. We are so grateful to have found Brandon!!!”
“Adam was great! He was flexible and able to accommodate my last minute request. Brought Nala to the dog park. And lots of videos to show me how. She was doing while I was away! He only does small dogs too if that’s a concern.”
“As always, Pamela took excellent care of our two boys, allowing us to spend much needed time bonding with our newborn and recovering. Her kindness and love for our dogs is palpable. We can’t thank her enough!”
“Our dog Rudy stayed with Ivette & Gonzalo for a week and he looked happy and stress-free when we picked him up. I’m sure he also enjoyed having another dog to hang out with. I would rebook with Ivette & Gonzalo without hesitation.”
“Thank you, Beautifull, for taking such incredible care of my dogs! I am forever grateful for everything you did while I was away. She cared for my two senior dogs for an entire week and kept me updated every step of the way. She sent me photos during their walks and regularly checked in with updates, which gave me so much peace of mind. Whenever anything came up, she let me know right away. Since my dogs are seniors, they experienced some anxiety being away from home and even had a little stomach upset, which can happen when they’re stressed. She handled everything with so much patience, care, and compassion, and made sure I was informed throughout the entire stay. It was clear that she genuinely cared about their well-being and treated them like they were her own. Knowing they were in such loving hands allowed me to truly enjoy my trip without constantly worrying about them. I trust her completely and will absolutely book with her again in the future. If you’re looking for someone who is reliable, communicative, compassionate, and truly loves animals, I cannot recommend her enough. Your pets will be in amazing hands!”
“Very accommodating and understanding especially with how late I booked her. Willing to take a last minute booking and my dog enjoyed his stay. She kept me updated the entire time and did a great job babysitting.”
“Natalie was amazing with my rescue dog who has anxiety. She took the time to understand him and his issues. She kept us updated with pictures and videos. Gizmo enjoyed his vacation, as much as we enjoyed ours!”
“Very attentive to our fur baby. Sent through lots of photos during the stay, and was very responsive to messages. Highly recommend Eric if you’re looking for a sitter or walker!”

Ashley was amazing with our two kiddos (one cat and one dog)! They stayed with her for 16 days, and we were provided with the perfect amount of updates and photos. They seemed to really enjoy their stay, and we are so happy to have someone we can trust with our furry friends while we’re away!
Cindy is absolutely wonderful! Brownie is always so happy to see her, and that alone tells me how much Brownie loves and enjoys spending time with her. Cindy takes the time to play with Brownie, give her attention, and make sure he feels loved and comfortable. I especially appreciate that Cindy sends me videos and updates while she’s with Brownie. Seeing Brownie happy, playing, and having a good time gives me so much peace of mind and makes being away from him so much easier. I couldn’t ask for a better sitter. I highly recommend Cindy to anyone looking for someone who will treat their pet with genuine love and care. Thank you, Cindy, for taking such wonderful care of our Brownie!
Angel is truly a wonderful person: kind, caring and exceptionally attentive. He showed incredible patience, gentleness and understanding towards my dog Benny, who can be quite challenging and has had some difficult and traumatic experiences. What I appreciated most was the genuine care he showed throughout Benny's stay. Every single day, Angel kept me updated, sending me lots of lovely photos and messages so I could see how Benny was doing. This gave me great peace of mind and made me feel that Benny was in very good hands. It takes a special person to understand and care for a dog like Benny, and Angel really went above and beyond. His kindness, patience and genuine love for animals made all the difference. I am truly grateful for everything he did. I couldn't have asked for a better person to look after Benny. I wholeheartedly recommend Angel! Sandra R.
Stefan and Christina were the best!! I was able to rest easy on my vacation knowing these two were taking care of my 5 year old dog Kaya. We got so many updates every day (so many cute pics and videos) and Kaya also got so much love and play during our 1.5 week trip to Asia
This was my first time leaving Bosh with someone else, so I was a little nervous at first, but Ronald was great! Bosh stayed with him for 7 days, and I kept updated throughout his stay. He was always quick to respond whenever I reached out, which really put my mind at ease. I’m so happy I found someone I can trust to take care of Bosh. Ronald will definitely be my go-to sitter from now on. Thank you again for taking such good care of him!
Jisu was a wonderful sitter for my dog Lolli. She and her husband took great care of her and sent me regular photos and videos. She is a little dog with a big personality and they really got her and enjoyed having her.

The average cost of Dog Boarding in Astoria is $56 per night as of November 2026. Most bookings cost between $33 and $83 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 long as your booking dates and pet profiles are accurate, the price shown before you confirm is the total, including any booking fee.
As of November 2026, there are 14,174 sitters on Rover offering Dog Boarding across Astoria. 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 Astoria 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 Astoria 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 Astoria.
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 Astoria. 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 Astoria 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.
