“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!”
“Kristine took care of my dog for 3 nights and it all well for communication and boarding service. I really appreciate for taking care of my dog and professional service.”
“Juliana was very kind and extremely accommodating. I felt like Skye had a great time while he was there. The only thing I would've improved on is more frequent updates especially since this was my first time boarding with her. Thank you for your time and care Juliana!”
“John is great with my tiny poodle! My girl Eva has anxiety and I know she must be crying for me pretty badly at first.. since she annoys my own family when I leave. When she comes back home after a stay at John’s she is literally so much more relaxed 😌 He communicates with a daily update that brightens our day. Thank you John for the care!”
“Cooper always has the best time with Odin, Katherine and her hubby! And we enjoy our vacation knowing Cooper is having fun. Highly highly recommend Katherine! We will sure be back. Thank you so much!!!”
“This was the second time David watched Koko and everything was smooth and perfect, just like the first time. Thanks for watching her and looking forward to next time!”
“My dog had a wonderful stay with Nicole. It was Charlie's first time staying with another dog and she was extremely reassuring. I could immediately see that she was very attentive and experienced which put me at ease. Would highly recommend!”
“This was my first time leaving Jesse with anyone other than family and Athena did such an amazing job. Jesse warmed right up to her and she kept me updated. You can tell she’s very good with dogs because my pup usually has separation anxiety. I definitely will book again”
“Leaving our dog is never easy, however Bridget made him feel right at home. She always kept us updated and sent us updates, pictures and videos all of the time. She has her own dog, so we were worried about how he’d react to coliving in another dogs home. We were told after a day, the two got along very well. Bridget was very cool about drop off/pick up times as well, as we dropped him off pretty late, since she had work. But we also picked him up pretty late, as our flight back was a little delayed. Overall, our dog came back happy and excited to see us and we could tell he was well taken care of. Thanks Bridget!”
“Luzia and Laura were so great with my shih tzu Ruthie! She got all the cuddles she needed and I got all the picture updates I could have asked for. Will definitely be booking with them again.”
“This is my 3rd time leaving Kuddle with them, this time for 2 weeks. They really looked after her very well and we would use them to look after her many more times.”
“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.”
“Ryan was so kind and attentive to Poppy!! I had issues with my travel and ended up being away longer than I was supposed to and he cooked food for her!”
“Iliana took really good care of my Chloe. I received daily pics and updates. She was very responsive when I reached out to checkin. I greatly appreciate her services.”
“We unfortunately had to leave our new 2.5mo puppy for ten days only a couple weeks after adopting her. She was in the middle of housetraining which made us nervous but Adam was fantastic with her. He helped reinforce housetraining with Rey, gave her lots of attention, took her on good long walks, and kept us updated the whole week. Would definitely recommend Adam, especially for high energy puppies like ours.”
“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.”
“Sherry and Walter were absolutely amazing! This was the first time we had ever left our cat, Romeo, with anyone, and from the very beginning they made us feel completely at ease knowing our baby was in such good hands. Romeo warmed up to them right away and quickly felt right at home, which was such a huge relief for us. They watched him for 15 days while we were away on our honeymoon and sent us daily updates, which we really appreciated. Romeo is extremely social and loves attention, and Sherry and Walter gave him plenty of love and affection throughout his stay. We are so grateful to have found them and will absolutely be reaching out again the next time we go away. We couldn’t recommend Sherry and Walter more highly to anyone looking for loving, trustworthy care for their fur babies!”
“LOVED PAMELA!!!! I had a trip scheduled to Texas for my nephew’s 2nd birthday party. I was extremely nervous to book a sitter on Rover because it was my first time leaving my 2 girls. However, once I met Pamela for the Meet and Greet, my 2 fur babies were instantly connected with Pamela! While I was in Texas, she sent me photos throughout my entire trip. My girls were literally glued to Pamela, that’s how much they loved her! Pamela’s kind and warm personality makes booking your pups stressed-free. She’s amazing and I can’t wait to book again!”
“Milly watched our 5yo bichon, Turbo, when we went away for an overnight trip. We were delighted with the service she provided, and will gladly re-book with her when the opportunity presents itself.”
The median cost per night for dog boarding in East Elmhurst is $60
Dog parents share their Rover experiences - East Elmhurst
Riley looked after our miniature schnauzer while we were away for a month and we couldn't have been happier with the love and care she and her family offered. She kept us updated and shared plenty of pictures. Our dog is a senior so it was especially nice to see how she took great care of her needs. We highly recommend her services.
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.
We have a very happy pup! Sarah was communicative and sent plenty of pics. Our dog got so much exercise (we can see it through her Tractive app) and came back very happy. She took such good care of her and her baby was so good with her. We will definitely have her watch our dog again.
Second stay with Annie and once again, exceptional service! Communication was excellent, all instructions were followed perfectly, and our dog was extremely well cared for. Having a reliable, trustworthy sitter gives us complete peace of mind while away. Highly recommend!
Jessica was wonderful with Chai! She kept us updated every day with messages and photos, which gave us so much peace of mind while we were away. It was clear from the updates that Chai was comfortable, happy, and having such a great time with Jessica and Luna. We really appreciated how well she cared for him and treated him like part of the family. We would absolutely trust Jessica with Chai again and highly recommend her! ❤️🐾
Mason and Benji had an awesome time!! They got along well with Melo. Nick and his wife took great care of them, kept us updated, and included photos. The pups reallyyy enjoyed the grass in the backyard (especially Benji) lol. I would definitely recommend Nick to take care of your pets!

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.
95% 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.
