“This was our first time using Rover and Juliana’s service, and we were nervous, like leaving a first grader at day care for the first time! We met with Juliana way before our boarding and the meet and greet went very well and Jin Jin was already comfortable around her and at the backyard. Juliana was very calm and friendly, very gentle and I immediately felt that Jin Jin would be comfortable as she is very anxious with noise and prefers a quiet environment. Jin Jin stayed with Juliana and her mother for over a week and we got photos and updates and Juliana was responsive to my questions. I eventually felt relieved knowing Jin Jin was doing well and that she was in good hands and well taken care of. When Jin Jin got home, she acted all normal and the experience with boarding didn’t traumatize her and I could tell that she enjoyed the time at Juliana’s. I am glad I found Juliana and would highly recommend her to anyone looking for a reliable dog sitter.”
“Can't recommend Pamela enough!!!! Our girl is a cuddle bear, and she had no problem giving her all the attention she usually gets at home. Her two dogs are so sweet and it shows how loving and genuine Pamela is. We are so happy we found her and so close to home! Thank you Pamela!!! You rock! Ps: We were thrilled to receive daily pictures with our Bonbon looking so comfortable and happy!”
“Margarita and Cristian took wonderful care of my dog, Gracey, while I was away for 10 days abroad. They sent pictures and let me know how she was doing. I provided notes and suggestions about Gracey as she has anxiety and she managed to adjust really well in their environment and with the other dogs that had overlapped with Gracey’s stay. I look forward to when I need to have Gracey stay with them in the future.”
“This is our 3rd time booking Joshua for our 2 very active black labs! Our dogs now get excited when they enter his building knowing how much fun they have when they are with him.”
“David was great with my dog Boo, providing updates every day and even taking him to the dog park! Will definitely be reaching out for future dogsitting needs!”
“My second time leaving my puppy with her and she is amazing!! Sent photos and checked in constantly since I’m a worried puppy mommy. A real caring sitter who I would highly recommend.”
“I had an amazing experience having Denis and his wife to watch my cat Fifi for a few days! They were able to confirm to watch my cat, given the short notice and on a holiday weekend. I was sent plenty pictures and videos throughout her stay and I was shocked to see how quickly Fifi adjusted to her new environment. I was happy hearing how well she was doing, and seeing her be herself. She had earned their trust pretty quickly on. They really took the time to care for my angel 😌 I could see how much passion, care and attention they have for animals and they treated Fifi as if she was theirs. 🥲 I was worry-free most of the time, knowing she was having a blast with her new friends ☺️ I was able to get alot done while they took Fifi off my hands. My cat will definitely miss being there with them. I am so glad I booked and I absolutely trust them with her again. I highly recommend them looking after your pet! 😊”
“My dog Charlie does so well when I leave him with Eric, even though he usually has separation anxiety when I’ve left him with other sitters, he doesn’t with Eric. Which I really appreciate and calms any anxiety I would otherwise have about leaving my pup. Eric sends a lot of photos and videos, which is nice when you’re outta town. Your pup will be in great hands with Eric. I also love how much socializing With other dogs Charlie gets to have when I leave him with Eric. He’s a spoiled only child so it’s great for him to be with the pack once in awhile. Haha. Anyhow, Eric is awesome, so glad I found him here in Astoria! Thank you Eric.”
“Bridget took great care of my Shih Tzu Oliver. Drop off/pick up were seamless and she’s always quick to respond with an update and picture whenever I check in.”
“We left our puppy for 2 nights with Laura. She was very gentle and kind with him and his nervous needs. Laura sent regular photo and video updates for us and was quick to respond to any messages I sent to her. Milo came back happy and we will definitely use them again. Thank you guys so much for taking such good care of Milo.”
“Gabriela was amazing! She took such great care of Liberty while we were out of town for a few days. Super friendly and she kept us up to date with lots of cute pics! Would highly recommend!”
“Duke loves spending time at Anthony’s place with his pug, Dulce, when we go out of town! As soon as we exit the train in his part of the neighborhood, Duke drags us straight to his place as fast as he can. This behavior alone tells us that he is both treated well and thoroughly enjoys his time there. Anthony and his girlfriend always sends us updates, photos and videos. Definitely recommend!”
“Took wonderful care of our little Penny. She came back happy and well cared for, and John was perfectly communicative before and during her stay. Would highly recommend trusting John with your fur baby.”
“Kristin is absolutely fantastic. She was quick with her reply, extremely communicative throughout my dog’s stay and most importantly my dog came back very happy. I would highly recommend Kristin and plan on using her again.”
“Euitae was the best dog sitter I’ve ever had. Euitae was responsive and so so attentive and caring for my senior guy, Jack, taking Jack for lots of walks and adventures in the park, and even a dog café where Jack got to make new friends. I’m so incredibly grateful for Euitae and 1000% recommend him as a sitter! I can’t wait to call Euitae again, Jack had an AMAZING time.”
“This was the second time Meilin took care of my dog, and as always, she did a great job! She sent me news and photos every day, and I knew he was happy and safe with her. I really trust her and I’m very thankful. I strongly recommend Meilin!”
“Our experience with Yejin was amazing! She was extremely thorough and transparent in daily updates on Theo. Constant text and photo updates that made me feel so at ease while away from him for a week. Theo took to Yejin immediately and I could see why. She is so incredibly caring, kind, and patient. Especially with Theo being a rescue who can be easily anxious and spooked, Yejin did an amazing job caring for him exactly the way I do, treating him like her own. I’ll definitely be booking with her again and I know Theo would look forward to spending time with her again as well!”
“Meiqi was an amazing host, and took great care of both of my cats on short notice after a busted pipe. Will continue to book with her in the future and would highly recommend”
“Viktorila was amazing! Before booking, we did a meet-and-greet, and I immediately felt at ease. After meeting her, I was confident that my pups would be in great hands. Throughout the stay, she communicated frequently and sent plenty of photos of my fur babies, which gave me tremendous peace of mind. As an added bonus, she even brushed out my puggle, who has been shedding like crazy. I have to say, she did a better job than his groomer! I would absolutely recommend Viktorila to anyone looking for a caring, attentive, and reliable pet sitter. I have already booked her again. :)”
“I had such a great experience with my cat sitter! She took amazing care of my cat, Simba, and kept me updated the whole time, which gave me so much peace of mind. It’s clear she genuinely loves animals and treats them like her own. Simba was happy, relaxed, and well cared for when I got back. I would absolutely trust her again and highly recommend her to anyone looking for a reliable and caring pet sitter 🐾!”

Dog parents share their Rover experiences - East Elmhurst
Not sure where to begin.. Irina is AMAZING! She was so caring of my dog, so attentive and kind. Provided me with constant updates throughout each day with lots of fun photos and videos. Genuinely went above and beyond from every aspect. When I got my dog back he was super clean, healthy, happy and smiling which even moreso tells me he really enjoyed his stay with her. I can go on and on about how great our experience was, but you should definitely try it for yourselves and see. Thank you again so much for all the love and care you provided us! 💕
I’m so grateful to Riley and her family for taking such wonderful care of my babies, Dana and Honey, especially on such short notice. I was very anxious, but Riley gave me so much peace of mind with frequent pictures, videos, and updates without me having to ask. I truly felt they were in loving hands. Thank you so much, Riley! I would absolutely recommend her to anyone looking for someone they can trust with their fur babies. ❤️🐾
I’m very happy to have found Juliana to watch our dog Benji while my husband and I went on our overdue honeymoon trip. We got updates and photos of him during his stay and he looked like he didn’t even miss us! We will definitely continue booking with her in the future!
Jennifer and her family have been the best caretakers for Arthur. He stayed there for over two weeks and seemed to be part of the family. That was clearly evident from the photos and videos that arrived on a daily basis. We can highly recommend this lovely people and will use their services again. Thank you Jennifer & Co 😙
Emily and her family are wonderful! Frequent updates and pictures. Mason and Gobi always look so happy. Their things was packed very nice and tidy. Was worried about Mason’s skin since it gets easily irritated but it looked better than when he was home. Glad we were able to find Emily.
I had to find a last-minute sitter for Romeo while I was away. He was initially staying with family, but due to some unexpected medical emergencies, we had to make other arrangements. I was so lucky to find Jun T., who took care of Romeo for 15 days. I honestly couldn’t have asked for a better sitter. Jun took wonderful care of Romeo, took him out for walks, and sent me pictures and videos every day along with regular updates. Knowing that Romeo was happy, safe, and well cared for gave me such peace of mind while I was away. I’ll admit I was a little nervous because of a previous bad experience with a Rover sitter, but I trusted Rover enough to give it another try. This time, I decided to look for someone a little farther from home and try a new environment for Romeo—and I’m so glad I did! I’m truly happy I found Jun T. He clearly has a genuine love for pets and treated Romeo with care and affection. I would absolutely use him again. Now I know that whenever I travel, Romeo has someone I can trust who will love and care for him as if he were his own. ❤️🐾
Kristi and her husband were phenomenal! Kristi was so understanding about a last minute, extended stay for Dom and Ellie, and is clearly a huge dog person. We got lots of updates, where it was clear they were having the best time, and they came home happy and healthy. Highly recommend!
Kiara has been our go-to sitter for years! She always takes such great care of our furbabies and has no problem handling their quirks and schedules (bonded pair, reactive, special diets). One of our dogs developed several illnesses later in life and Kiara was a pro at handling medication, monitoring seizure episodes, and keeping us constantly updated.

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.
95% of sitters in East Elmhurst 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 East Elmhurst 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 East Elmhurst.
<b>Tip:</b> You can upload your dog’s routine and medical info directly onto their profile so your sitter always has the details at their fingertips.
You and your East Elmhurst 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.
