“Denis and his wife are so sweet and took great care of our dog while we were at a concert at Forest Hills stadium. Would 100% use them again. Close to the R train!”
“I am thrilled to leave a positive review. She did an exceptional job taking care of my cats while I was away. Each cat had their own private area and plenty of toys to keep them entertained. I came home to happy, well-cared-for pets. Her attention to detail and dedication to ensuring my cats' comfort and happiness were truly impressive . I highly recommend her services!”
“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.”
“Emily was great with Evie! Very responsive and also made sure we were comfortable with everything. Even though our dog is very skittish around other dogs, she made sure her own dogs stayed at a family member's home during Evie's stay. We will likely use her again in the future if we have to go on any other away trips. Sent a lot of pictures each day to update us. Also, Evie's stay was during the forest fires in Canada so the air quality was bad outside. However, Emily made sure that her air filters were on so we never had to worry about her or Evie. 5/5 stars!”
“Anthony & Sofiya were WONDERFUL with our rescue pup!!! They were both so sweet and caring with her, and she was immediately comfortable in their house. Anthony/Sofiya checked in multiple times with updates and photos— and their pug Dolce is the cutest cuddle bug who was super chill with our dog. Will 1000% book with them again.”
“Michelle did a wonderful job taking care of our doggo while we were away with plenty of pictures and texts. Our dog loved her stay with Michelle. We would definitely book her again for further accommodations!”
“I couldn’t be happier with the care my Sheltie received. She was accepted at the very last minute, and he was incredibly open, kind, and accommodating. He truly pampered her and made sure she felt comfortable and loved the entire time. I received plenty of daily photos and videos, always following every instruction exactly as given. It’s clear he cares deeply about the pets he looks after. Highly recommended.”
“This was my first time ever using a sitter to watch my pet and I must say that I am so glad that my first experience was with Kristin. She made sure that penny was comfortable and felt the same love that she gets at home. I’d definitely use and recommend Kristin’s services in the future. Thank you again”
“First time ever leaving my boy with someone… Juliana was amazing !!! my pup was happy & comfortable. daily updates & great communication!!! definitely rebooking for future stays!!”
“Took great care of StarFox! I know my dog enjoyed his stay and I appreciate all the time spent with him playing and walking. My dog had a prior injury and he got the best care and attention possible, even a visit to the vet, medical instructions, everything was taken care of. My dog was taken care of like he was family! My dog is a clever fox, so he can be a handful sometimes. Fantastic job and would definitely book again when I’m out of town. Great photos too and updates!”
“We picked up our large malamute Junie and she was the calmest we had seen her, clearly very happy. Communication with Anton was very easy and he sent several pictures throughout the stay. Will book again!”
“Lal was great! Very communicative and Joey had a great time w Hank and her cat. Sent lots of updates and made us feel very comfortable during Joey's stay.”
“John is a great Rover while he watched Pisco for a couple of days. He responds quickly, and we enjoyed his daily pics on how Pisco is doing. Thank you!”
“Kiersten & Casey were (/are) amazing. Highly communicative, tons of photos, clearly massive dog lovers with lots of experience. Can’t say enough good things!”
“Fantastic! Angela went above and beyond and our little baby boy… he was very well taken care of! Will 10000% use her again. If you want someone who will go above and beyond for your fur baby, Angela is for sure the way to go. I’m in tech and a military veteran and have used different dog sitters in the past while moving around. Angela is beyond number 1. Thanks again Angela :)”
“Pamela took such good care of my pup and sent photos and updates through the weekend. Felt super comfortable leaving my dog with her and knowing she’ll be taken care of. Thanks Pamela!!”
“Each time we leave Nutmeg in Euitae’s hands we know she will receive the best care and love. She loves staying there and her walks in the park, and we love the photos, communication and updates.”
“We left our 18 month old Lhasa Apso with Ana and Manuel for a full week. Needless to say, I was like a nervous mama. However, from the moment we started corresponding, Ana made me feel at ease with my decision. She truly made me feel like our Violet was part of the family and she would be well taken care of. Turns out it was a great decision- Violet was loved and well cared for with Ana and Manuel. Each day we got pictures and corresponded with Ana. This made us feel so much better about leaving Violet for a week. When we picked her up, she was content and happy. I could not have asked for a better experience! As any doggie mama knows, it’s the best feeling knowing your baby is in good hands. This is what Ana and Manuel do so well!”
“This was Brownie’s first long term stay away from us as we went on vacation. Millie kept us in the loop every day and sent us pics letting us know how he was doing. He did great and I was so relieved knowing he was in good hands. Thanks Millie!!”

Dog parents share their Rover experiences - East Elmhurst
Juliana was my very first pet sitter for my dog. I was so nervous about the experience and from the very start she put us at ease. She had everything we needed (especially for a big dog) that made our trip away for the weekend stress free. She set-up an early meet and greet, sent daily pictures and updates, had space for a big dog to roam, a big crate to accommodate his stay, and a seamless drop off and pick up process. I will definitely book with Juliana again!
I booked Henly last minute for boarding and was reliable from the very start of communication. She communicates so well and has a very welcoming personality that makes you feel like your furry one will be in great hands. Throughout his stay, she made Leo feel so loved, and allowed him to explore different park and animal friendly areas. She provided updates, lots of amazing, cutesy photos and notified us of any places she was taking him which we really appreciate. We are so thankful for her care, and will keep her in mind for future care if needed.
Zach watched our dog for a week after a bit of a last-minute request, and we are so lucky he did. From the first meet-up he asked all the right questions, showed so much care for our dog, and was great with communication. Our dog had a great week with him and we appreciated Zach’s photos and updates. Will definitely be using him again.
Athena took such good care of our very active Italian Greyhound. He was comfortable around her from the beginning. She took him for 3 walks daily and sent us messages and pictures often. I felt very much at ease. When it was time to pick him up, he was walked, fed and bathed. Will definitely book with Athena again.
This was my first time having Lulu stay for two weeks and with Gaby. I had read all the great reviews and scheduled a meet and greet prior to. I’m glad we booked with Gaby and her husband. She’s such a sweetheart with pets and caring to their personalities. I could tell Lulu was taken care of and made new friends along the way 💕.
I can’t recommend Gustavo enough! He took such amazing care of my dog and gave me complete peace of mind while I was away. It was clear from the updates and photos that my dog was loved, happy, and treated like part of their family. He went above and beyond to make sure my dog was comfortable and well cared for. Knowing my dog was in such caring hands made all the difference. I’m so grateful for his kindness, professionalism, and genuine love for animals. I will definitely be booking with him again!
We couldn’t have asked for a better experience! Dennis and Jule took amazing care of our two Boston Terrier girls and kept us updated with lots of photos, videos, and messages. It was obvious our dogs were having a great time. Communication was fantastic, everything went smoothly, and we had zero worries while we were away. They have our highest recommendation!
Emily amd her husband are fantastic! They watched my last dog (who sadly passed away a few years ago) and were fantastic with him in the past. My wife and I were taking our 2 son's on vacation for 8 days, last minute the person we had scheduled to watch our new dog backed out. I immediately reached out to Emily, she was super accommodating and accepted the last minute booking. She completely saved the day! The entire experience was seemless and easy, i was comfortable and cinfident from the start. Every day, multiple times a day, I got photo and video updates of our dog. I can't say enough good things about my experience, I HIGHLY recommend considering Emily to watch your pet for you. 11/10! Thank you Emily!
Maria was s exceptional. My finicky pup warmed up to her and clearly has enjoyed staying with Maria during my extended work assignment. Maria communicates in a timely fashion and gives me plenty of time to order food or other supplies during his stay. She even arranged to take Freedom to be groomed during his stay! I would highly recommend her services for anyone boarding.
Got to say My son was worried, and When we met the Bruno and Victoria family, my son was still nerves, But Bruno and his wife made my son happy with all the daily videos messages and pictures thru out the day made him feel that his dogs were in safe hands and with a happy home. Bruno and his family are clearly a caring family and they had alot of space at there home and a yard.
Kimberly was amazing! Before Gracey's stay, we met in person to go over everything, which immediately made me feel comfortable. She was quick to communicate, sent regular updates and photos, and took such great care of Gracey. I especially appreciated that she took her out and helped socialize her, something Gracey absolutely loved. It gave me so much peace of mind knowing she was happy, active, and in such caring hands. I would absolutely book with Kimberly again and highly recommend her to anyone looking for a trustworthy and attentive dog sitter.

Every sitter on Rover has their own rhythm and routine, but most will follow the flow that keeps your dog happiest. Sitters can give meals on your dog's regular schedule, provide a comfortable place for sleep, and plenty of one-on-one attention.
96% of East Elmhurst sitters also include daily walks in the neighborhood during dog boarding stays. You can also request photo and message updates throughout the stay so you can see which East Elmhurst landmarks or neighborhoods your dog is enjoying.
If your dog is a little shy, consider booking a one-night trial stay! This practice run can boost your and your dog’s confidence before your trip.
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.
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.
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.
