“Sonia is amazing! Dalbit loved her space - I feel good knowing he has a great outdoor area to play. She sent me tons of videos and photos during the day. Definitely recommend her!”
“She is EXTRAORDINARY! Words can not do her level of professionalism and love of our dog Goose! She treated Goose and us just like family. She was kind and understanding...we tried to not be late for meeting which is hard in NYC with 3 children..She is the best fit for any situation!”
“Kuan & Zhixi are super communicative and accomodating. Loved the many pictures and updates we get. Our dog Tango really likes them and I feel comfortable knowing he'll be well taken care of. We look forward to scheduling more day care in the future.”
“Hades loves staying with Ron and MJ! Hades has separation anxiety, so he can be a bit of a handful! Ron and MJ made sure that Hades always had someone home with him, and MJ took him on several long walks during the day and sent videos of them having a blast. Hades came home sleepy and comfortable! I could tell he really warmed up to them quickly. I am so grateful we found them, I highly recommend to anyone looking for a sitter!”
“Anna was attentive to Rosco and very accommodating of my difficult work schedule. She took Rosco on outings to different parks and cuddled with him on the couch. He came home to me a happy man! Thanks again Anna!”
“Angelina and Donald took wonderful care of my two Vizslas. I could not be happier. I was visiting New York for the day and needed someone to look after my two very active dogs for the afternoon. I was a little nervous about leaving them because they can be a lot to handle and are not accustomed to the city, but I had absolutely nothing to worry about. Angelina and Donald took them on a five-hour adventure through Central Park and then east to Andrew Haswell Green Park. Angelina sent photos throughout the walk, so I could see how much fun they were having. She also fed them exactly as requested and had them ready when I arrived for pickup. The dogs were tired, happy, and clearly adored Angelina and Donald. I will definitely book with Angelina again the next time I am in the city.”
“Carlos is such a caring sitter for pups, he knows the language of canines and enjoys looking after them and taking them out for fun. I recommend him highly.”
“We had such a great experience with Alyssa! Interactions were very positive including meeting up beforehand, great communication throughout the stay with photos and updates, and just a really nice person who makes you feel comfortable leaving your pup with. Thanks Alyssa!”
“Tracy saved us when we were out of the country on a holiday and Frank needed daycare unexpectedly. She was flexible, communicative, and Frank had such a fun time with her!”
“Anastasia took amazing care of Sully. It was clear how happy he was after his stay! Anastasia was extremely responsive to all of our messages, sent pictures, and clearly has a vast knowledge of dog breeds, behaviors and tendencies. Looking forward to having her watch Sully again next week, thanks Anastasia!”
About: I work from home full-time, so your dog gets company and supervision all day: no long stretches alone. My basement-level apartment has a private, fully enclosed outdoor open-sky patio with direct sliding-door access for easy care, play, and sunbathing. I’ve fostered dogs before and share my home with Jasper, my friendly 5-year-old corgi, who loves canine company (we do a meet-and-greet before every booking to make sure everyone’s comfortable). Daily routine includes walks, play sessions, and photo updates so you always know how your pup is doing. Neutered/spayed dogs only, please or we can talk about it in depth before booking. I work from home full-time and go gig work on the side. My work and career are flexible to meet the needs of those who are looking for a treat extra support and care! I can easily adapt to any needs for care. Since I work from home, pups can stay out and about with me all day. We take multiple walks throughout the day around the neighborhood and/or the block which is very dog friendly. Additionally, there is a park within 10 minutes walk and a dog park within 10 minutes walk however we typically will stay on our back patio and do treat dispensing play toys, splash pad days, or general lounging. The patio is where the pups love to explore and lay out on in the sun. It is cleaned off daily and deep cleaned weekly.
About: i have a private fenced off garden that can be used when not actively on a walk. i have experience caring for a variety of animals including dogs, cats, birds, turtles, hamsters and fish. i’m a lifelong animal lover looking to expand my animal friends list 🙂 pet care is my full time job, i have a flexible schedule and the space to care for multiple animals if needed. i spend a lot of time exploring the neighborhood and would love to have another animal friend to join me on an adventure. i have a fenced yard and pet friendly apartment. i truly love animals so they would have my full attention at all times. if a client has any special requests i would be glad to fulfill them whether it be in my apartment or theirs.
About: Whether you require daycare, boarding, house-sitting, or occasional drop-in visits/walks, you can count on me to treat your pet like a precious, irreplaceable gem! I’m the pawrent of a Pekingese dog, two Exotic Shorthair cats, and a Persian cat. I am also a foster meowmie for other kitties. I have experience with senior and special-needs pets, including as a volunteer dog walker for PAWS NY, an organization that helps people in need keep their pets in their lives. I will send you lots of photos and videos so you can be fully informed about the well-being of your pet/s. I am a full-time pet care specialist. In addition to dogs and cats, I’m also happy to care for bunnies, guinea pigs, hamsters, chinchillas, birds, and other exotic pets. I’ve read some horror stories about overnight sitters, as I’m sure you have. If I am house-sitting for you, I will be staying overnight in your home, so your pet will be in its usual environment. If you choose daycare or boarding with me, I will be staying overnight with your pet in a secure, cozy apartment with a fenced-in backyard (my own dog and cats won’t be present). I don’t walk dogs off leash and I don’t open windows for the safety of small dogs and cats. If your animal has any symptoms of illness, you’ll be advised immediately. If it’s hot out, I will ask that we run the A/C for the health of your pet. The well-being of your pet is as important to me as the well-being of my own pets.
“Eleanor was responsible, flexible - and most importantly, seemed to love my pooch and take amazing care of her! he was a LIFESAVER - agreeing to care for my pup at the last minute because I had to work in the city for the day. he came down to meet me at my car and was timely and totally responsible in every way. Highestly recommended!”
“Matthew and Katherine were absolutely fantastic!! I was gone for the week of July 4th and they treated Mango to a true summer camp experience. He got to play in a little pool, run around the dog park, and watch the World Cup on their couch. Truly could not have asked for a better couple to have him stay with.”
“Xiaohui was an incredible sitter for Milo! After mentioning he's a high energy dog, she took him on extra long walks to make sure he's well exercised. Xiaohui also took amazing photos of him with the Manhattan skyline and even edited them. Thanks for giving Milo so much attention and love! He came home very happy”
“Tania is very responsive and very flexible with the pick up and drop off schedule, which makes my day much easier. My dog looks having a good time from the pictures shared during the day”

Cindy was an absolute pleasure to work with. She was extremely responsive (very quick), very accommodating of my two dogs’ different food diets, shared great photos and videos with kind complimentary words of the dogs. An absolute pleasure - my dogs loved being with her - would absolutely rebook.
10/10. I was in a pinch and Emily got back right away to book. Very efficient. Her apt is in a location near major subways too. She was flexible and accommodating and my pet was well walked and cared for. Highly recommended and I will go to Emily again if my pet needs sitting.
Stacey and Andrew were amazing dog sitters for Peachu! They are so responsive, flexible, and communicative. They shared a lot of updates and photos throughout the day. Peachu had so much fun with them and their pets. I would highly recommend them to care for any pet and would definitely book again!
Melissa was absolutely wonderful with Louie! She was on time, respectful, attentive, and took such great care of him. I felt comfortable knowing he was in good hands, and Louie loved her! I would definitely recommend Melissa to anyone looking for a caring and reliable sitter. ⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️
She treats my fur baby like her own. As a sitter, she’s very communicative throughout the day. She sends photos/videos throughout the day as updates and if she is unsure, she asks clarifying questions. Towards coco, she’s attentive, caring, and compassionate. When I picked coco up, she was calm and didn’t seem to want to leave 😂 which, overall, is a good sign!
Nicole is an amazing dog sitter! My senior pup absolutely loved her. She was incredibly responsive and answered all my texts right away. Nicole took excellent care of Lila while I was away, and I felt completely at ease knowing she was in such good hands. I would gladly use Nicole again and highly recommend her to anyone looking for a reliable, attentive, and truly caring sitter.
Ana took fantastic care of our little puppy for an evening! She was really lovely, and sent us lots of photo and video updates, showing how he’d settled in and was enjoying his time with her dog as well. Would highly recommend Ana for any dog sitting needs!

Frequently asked questions about Rover
The average cost for Doggy Day Care in Astoria on Rover is $46.62 per day (as of August 2026). However, all sitters set their own rates based on experience, location, and availability.
Rover makes budgeting the cost of Doggy Day Care 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 Doggy Day Care. For more information on service fees, click here .
As of August 2026, there are 11,553 sitters on Rover offering Doggy Day Care across Astoria. Enter your ZIP code to see which available sitters are closest to your home.
Sitters on Rover can offer flexible scheduling, so you can coordinate times that work best for you and your pet—whether that’s early drop-off or later pick-up to match your Astoria commute.
If your schedule changes, it’s best to let your sitter know through the app as early as possible. Many sitters can adjust pick-up and drop-off times when needed.
Think of doggy day care as your dog’s fun, supervised play date that happens to fit into your workday. Day care through Rover takes place in a real home. This offers a calmer and more personalized environment for your pup.
A typical day can include companionship, one-on-one attention, and same day pick-up and drop-off. Many sitters can also offer structured routines and exercise throughout the day. For recurring, weekly day care, sitters will include photo updates so you can see your dog in their element.
Here are tips for finding the ideal day care fit for your dog:
- For some small dogs: In-home day care can be the perfect fit. Look for sitters whose "can host" section only lists dogs weighing 0–7 kilograms and/or 7–18 kilograms. During your Meet & Greet, ask about play areas based on dog size and energy level.
- For high-energy dogs: The ideal doggy day care can offer scheduled breaks and outdoor spaces or activities. You can also find sitters who host multiple dogs to satisfy your pup’s socializing needs.
- For dogs who prefer human-only companionship: Use the filters "Doesn't own a dog" and "Only accepts one pet at a time" to find the right care.
Play groups can be an option when you book with a day care sitter through Rover. Many sitters do host a small number of dogs at the same time. Smaller dog packs are generally safer, more fun, and ideal for dogs who enjoy playtime but also want to relax throughout the day. When looking for your dog’s pack, check the sitter’s profile to see if they "Accept multiple clients" or have their own dogs. Then during the Meet & Greet, you can see whether your dog is a good fit for their social circle!
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.
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 .
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.
A Meet & Greet is a short introductory meeting between you, your dog, and a sitter. It can take place in person or virtually, although we recommend in-person so that your pet can get to know your sitter or the new environment. During the Meet & Greet, you will have a chance to walk through your pet's routine, medical needs, and unique quirks. Take the time to ask your sitter questions about their skills and expertise, and make sure the fit feels right for everyone. Most pet parents and sitters on Rover welcome Meet & Greets because the process can give confidence and peace of mind for service experiences, especially for longer stays or first-time bookings.
Yes, Rover is well-suited for finding sitters who can care for your pet within 24 hours. With 11,553 sitters in Astoria, 87% respond to messages in under an hour.
You can message multiple sitters simultaneously to find the fastest available match. If you need care today or tomorrow, you can look for sitters with a "calendar last updated" notice on their profiles.
Sitters on Rover set their own cancellation policy, which you can find on their profile under their calendar availability.
Cancelling before a booking begins and before the sitter's cutoff time qualifies you for a full refund. Same-day cancellations for walks, day care, and drop-ins follow the full refund policy. Otherwise, for dog boarding and house sitting, you will receive a 50% refund for the first seven days of the booking and a 100% refund for the remaining days when you cancel the same day a booking should begin.
If your sitter needs to cancel within seven days of the booking's start date, then our reservation protection will kick in. This means our support team works with you to find a replacement sitter.
