About: I’ve taken care of dogs and been a dog owner since I was 10 years old. I love caring for them and providing fun, comfort and companionship! I work from home so am very flexible with days & times. In addition to being home all day, my work schedule is flexible so not too bogged down at my desk all day. Lots of time to walk and play! I have a big, comfortable, quiet apartment. I live right near Carl Schurz park and about 20 minutes from Central Park - great for walks :)
About: Hi! My name is Nana, and I would love the opportunity to care for your dog. I have many years of hands-on experience as a dog owner and have also cared for dogs for friends and family. After spending 15 wonderful years with my beloved dog, I realized how much I enjoy providing loving, attentive care and would love to share that experience with more dogs and their families. I am a Certified Senior Dog Caregiver and a Certified Dog Trainer. I believe every dog deserves individualized care, so I only accept one family’s dog(s) at a time. This allows me to provide your pet with my full attention in a calm, safe, and stress-free environment. For everyone’s safety, I currently accept dogs up to 25 pounds. This allows me to safely lift your dog if needed during an emergency and helps keep them safe from reaching kitchen counters or tables where food or unsafe items may be left. My apartment is small but very dog-friendly, with low furniture and protected non-slip flooring to help prevent slips and injuries. My building also has a private dog run, and we’re just steps from Carl Schurz Park, making it easy to enjoy plenty of walks, fresh air, and exercise. I’ll happily follow your dog’s normal routine, whether that means frequent outdoor walks, setting up wee-wee pads indoors, administering medications (if needed), or simply providing lots of love and companionship. I carefully follow every owner’s instructions so your dog feels comfortable, secure, and at home. I am reliable, organized, tidy, and detail-oriented. Communication is very important to me, and I’ll send regular updates, photos, and videos so you always know how your furry family member is doing. I understand how much trust it takes to leave your dog with someone else because I felt the same way with my own dog. Your dog’s safety, comfort, and happiness will always be my top priorities. Please feel free to reach out with any questions. I look forward to meeting you and your furry family member! I work from home, so I have a flexible schedule and can spend plenty of quality time with your dog. On Mondays and Thursdays, I am away for approximately 6 hours, but I’m otherwise home and available. If you prefer care in your own home, I’m also happy to provide drop-in visits within the Upper East Side area. Please feel free to reach out if you have any questions about scheduling or your dog’s specific needs. I’ll do my best to accommodate your needs whenever possible! Your dog’s safety and comfort are my highest priorities. I only care for one family’s dog(s) at a time, allowing me to provide personalized attention in a calm, low-stress environment. My home is clean, organized, and dog-friendly, with non-slip flooring and low furniture to help keep pets safe. I carefully follow each owner’s instructions regarding feeding, medications, potty routines, exercise, and any special needs. I also provide regular photo and video updates so you can feel confident knowing how your dog is doing. For drop-in visits in the Upper East Side, I’ll treat your home with the same care and respect as my own while ensuring your dog stays on their familiar routine. My goal is for both you and your dog to feel safe, comfortable, and well cared for.
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.

Dog parents share their Rover experiences - Astoria
Jessica was wonderful! She was so warm and caring, and Simba looked happy and well cared for when I picked him up. She kept me updated throughout his stay and shared lots of pictures, which gave me great peace of mind. I would definitely recommend her to anyone looking for a reliable and loving dog sitter!
Angelina is INCREDIBLE. I’m so anxious about trusting people with my dog and she is incredibly communicative, responsive, reliable, and responsible. Plus, my dog absolutely loves her and her boyfriend! She is so sweet, a dog lover, and very protective of the dogs she petsits. She’s always my first choice for a rebook! Thanks for making Harvest feel safe and happy Angelina!!
Sharyn was wonderful with my dog, Lelu! She was always outside waiting before our scheduled pickup and drop off times, which I really appreciated. I was a little late and felt so bad because she was already there waiting. Lelu was happy and well cared for, and I had complete peace of mind. I would definitely book with Sharyn again and highly recommend her!
We left our 5 month old puppy Dill with Abdon, which was the first time we EVER left Dill alone with a stranger. Abdon was the perfect person to watch Dill and Dill can not wait to go back! Abdon was very communicative and sent pics and videos of them playing together. Abdon even was willing to meet Dill and I halfway between our apartments to ease the commute time for me. Truly a great guy, not just a job for him, he truly cares about and loves hanging out with our pup. Will absolutely be a returning client!
5 stars! Jashalund was great with our dog Avicii, who can be a little moody and anxious, but Jashalund is patient, communicative and understanding. She sent wonderful photos and updates which gave us peace of mind. Jashalund’s gentle approach really made a difference for Avicii and for us, we are thankful to have found such a nice person who really loves dogs.
Keysis has been amazing with Estrella! She watched her Monday through Thursday for the past four months, from when she was just 2 months old puppy until now at 6 months. It truly became Estrella's second home. She would get so excited every morning to see Keysis, which says everything about the love and care she received. Keysis is so kind, reliable, and treats every dog like family. I'm so grateful for everything she's done for Estrella! We are going to miss her 💕
Angela did a great job taking care of Bigby for the day! Drop off and pick up was smooth and she followed instructions really well. Would definitely come to Angela to take care of Bigby again soon! She even talked me through how to use the app better, which was very much appreciated.
I had a great experience with Antonio. He took excellent care of my two French bulldogs, Leo and Gnocchi. They came back home happy and well care for. Antonio was always very responsive and kept me updated with photos and messages throughout the day. I’d definitely trust him with my dogs again and highly recommend him to anyone looking for someone trustworthy and reliable.
Katie was wonderful with my dog. She is a pro. I could tell my Puzzle had a very nice day and was feeling safe and cared for. And they went to Central Park! Katie was also super friendly to interact with and accommodating with me. I definitely will be booking her services again soon. Maybe today even;)
Hannah was absolutely amazing with my dog, Lelu! From the moment we met, I could tell she genuinely loves dogs and made Lelu feel comfortable and cared for. She kept me updated throughout the stay, which gave me so much peace of mind. When I picked Lelu up, he looked happy, relaxed, and clearly had a wonderful time. It’s obvious that Hannah goes above and beyond to make sure every dog feels safe and loved. I couldn’t have asked for a better sitter, and I will definitely be booking with Hannah again. Highly, highly recommend her to anyone looking for someone trustworthy and caring to watch their dog🥺🐾🐾💕
Anna and Oliver were Wonderful with my senior dog. They were very fast to respond when I txted them which I really appreciate. Lila loved spending the day with them. They kept me updated on how Lila settled in, and they made sure she had lots of cuddle time. I highly recommend Anna and Oliver for taking care of your fur baby. I look forward to booking with them again.
Ronald was great about asking permission before making any caretaking decisions for my dog, whether it was feeding her extra food or taking her on a trip. He also kept me updated with messages throughout the day on how she was doing. She was clearly having a great time with him!

FAQs for Doggy Day Care - Astoria
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 .

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.
