“Kuan and Zhixi are the best!! I am so appreciative of them both for taking such great care of my little guy. I know he is in good hands when I leave him with them. 💛”
“Sonia took great care of my sensitive dog. My pup is nervous in new settings, however she quickly warmed up to Sonia and became more comfortable as the day went on. My dog also loved being out in her beautiful yard. Sonia provided frequent updates and answered all my questions, which helped put my mind at ease. I would recommend her and will use her again for my dog!”
“Tracy took great care of my dog, Melo, and made her feel at home right away. She also was mindful to check about any sensitivities and gave Melo medication on time, and sent so many photos throughout the day! I would highly recommend Tracy!”
“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!”
“Kitsune had a great stay with Carlos and came home satisfied and smelling so sweet. Carlos is such an attentive and caring dog lover, I feel at ease leaving my pup with him.”
“Agustina was an exceptional pet sitter. I noticed my dog was very happy and relaxed throughout the day. She kept me updated with frequent reports and photos of everything he was doing, even without me asking, which gave me great peace of mind. She also took amazing pictures, in every photo and video, his tail was up, showing how happy he was. Communication was smooth and easy, even though I booked her services at the last minute. Very responsible and dedicated. I would definitely reach out to her again.”
“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!”
“Alyssa was perfect. Clear and consistent communication all throughout while watching my 2 dogs. She sent pictures and videos and consistently gave me reassurance that everything was going well and that my boys were happy. I would give ten starts if I could.”
“Tingli was great with our very shy Shih Tzu Benji. She picked up his vibe and was so gentle and caring. She took so many pics which was very comforting. It was very obvious she bonded with him and she has such a great approach to her care with dogs. Highly recommended, very good communication/professionalism!”
“Sarah was communicative and took great care of Indy. Took him on nice long walks and was attentive. And sent plenty of photos. Would recommend and would book again in the future.”
“Eleanor was amazing and very accommodating! It was our pup toy poodle’s first time staying away from us and Eleanor handled his nervousness in a great way. She also accommodated us when we were running late. All around it was a great experience, and I would definitely recommend!”
“Theo loves Michele! She was incredibly accommodating with my work hours and kept me updated throughout the day. I really appreciated the care and communication. I’ll definitely be booking with her again!”
“Priscilla has become a calm in my storm! She is always communicative, and helps me to much with my pup that has generalized anxiety and SA. Thank you so much! We love having you- especially me so I can have a few dog free hours in my week! 5 stars!”
“Shaye is lovely and so attentive to our pup. We have a 1 yr old min dachshund that’s never been left in the care of someone before. Shaye put us at ease and accommodated our special request (no stairs). Shaye is now scheduled to watch our dog every Monday and it’s been great!”
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.
“Ashley is absolutely amazing! She went the extra mile to ensure Kiwi felt comfortable and loved while I was away. The regular updates she sent me were so thoughtful. It's clear that she truly cares about the dogs in her care, and I appreciate the extra attention she gives to make sure they're happy and healthy. I highly recommend her to anyone looking for a trustworthy dog sitter. Kiwi likes her a lot!”
About: Í have taken care of dog for a long time, there was always a couple of family dogs in the house and I was always the one responsible for them I am currently unemployed and studying from home, so taking care of animals would perfectly fit in my lifestyle, Í am open to whichever routine the pet has I live in an apartment with one friendly cat and a small dog, they are really social and accept dogs quickly which your pet would not feel alone, if you would like í could also separate them

Dog parents share their Rover experiences - Astoria
Kuan was great with my dog. He was very flexible with the schedule and very responsive with the messages. I reached out last minute and he was able to accommodate my schedule. Will be using his services again! My dog was happy to see him the next day for her second stay which gave me so much peace.
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.
Jatna was amazing and I fully trust her to watch our pup anytime. We were visiting from out of town and she kept our young puppy and ensured he was well taken care of and loved on while we went to an event. Her communication was top notch and she kept me informed during his entire stay. I trust very few people, but I am glad we chose her to take care of our puppy. Highly recommend!
Alice and Ethan were incredible dog sitters. They were responsive, friendly, very communicative, and took great care of my guy, Eli. They sent several pictures and it was obvious how much they love dogs and care for those with them. We’ll certainly be back the next time we’re in New York and I would highly highly recommend.

The average cost for Doggy Day Care in Astoria on Rover is $48.84 per day (as of July 2026). However, all sitters set their own rates based on experience, location, and availability.

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 11,484 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.
