“They truly do an amazing job at making my cat feel at home! I really feel like she’s in good hands and as comfortable as possible not being at home. 10 out of 10 would recommend”
“David is fantastic, as always! Our top sitter choice in the neighborhood. Tati enjoys her time with David so much that she pulls toward his apartment when we walk her!”
“Laura and Luzia took great care of our pup Odey. Before dropping off Odey, they took the time to make us feel very comfortable with leaving him in their care. The great pictures of Odey they sent us kept us updated while we were away. And after the long weekend we could tell that Odey fell in love with them and that he is looking forward to seeing them again!”
“Jasmil was AMAZING with our dog, Papa. She watched him for over a week and took the most amazing care of him. We felt Papa was so safe and cared for while with Jasmil and her family. Papa can be a high needs dog with medications and behavioral quirks but Jasmil was truly an angel with him!”
“I had a pet sitter emergency and had to find someone to take care of my baby for several days at the last minute. Adriana immediately put me at ease as she was very communicative and sent us pictures throughout the day. I would definitely book her again!”
“Euitae was great with my puppy! Communicated with me well throughout the time, sent photos and videos. I felt comfortable leaving her with a new boarder and would work with Euitae again!”
“Meilin is so friendly and took such amazing care of my dog! During the meet and greet I could tell she was very knowledgeable about dogs. During my dog’s stay with her she sent me daily updates and I could tell my dog felt comfortable with her. I highly recommend Meilin and would definitely trust her to watch my dog again.”
“Christian was super responsive and available to a last minute request to care for my Lupita, who immediately connected with him. Christian took great care of Lupita, provided updates and pictures, and welcomed her to a complete home. Highly recommend him!”
“Anastasia and Igor were amazing with our little one for 5 weeks. They even celebrated her birthday in style. Felt completely comfortable and like their own. Communication was on point and they spoiled her rotten with treats toys and walks.”
“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!”
“She was very considerate and open to communication. She cared for my dog with great love and kept him active. She stayed very vigilant on caring for his diet which made me so relieved about his stay, knowing someone exceptional was watching over him while I was away”
“Lilian was a truly amazing with our boy! She kept us updated with videos and pictures the entire time!! Maverick truly loved her! He was at home and truly felt secure with her! She is a true gem with our Maverick!”
“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!”
“Archie was well-cared for and looked happy in all her photos. Michael was easy to work with, responsive, and clearly cares for the fur babies he’s watching.”

“Madison took great care of Spotty and constantly provided updates through out the sitting. She is friendly and understanding of my requests. We can tell that Spotty had a great time with her and would totally recommend her!”

I cannot recommend James highly enough! He truly went above and beyond for Dexter and me during an incredibly stressful situation. While I was traveling internationally, another sitter unexpectedly canceled after already accepting Dexter into their care and keeping him for the first night. James stepped in at the very last minute without hesitation. He even drove to another borough, late at night and in the rain, to pick Dexter up and make sure he was safe and cared for. He also gave Dexter a much needed bath after the previous sitter had left him dirty. What really sets James apart is his patience, kindness, and genuine love for animals. Dexter was welcomed into his home with open arms, and his wife and children treated him like a member of their own family. Knowing Dexter was surrounded by so much love and attention gave me tremendous peace of mind while I was thousands of miles away. James is everything you could hope for in a sitter. Compassionate, dependable, thoughtful, and quite literally went the extra mile to care for Dex! I’m beyond grateful that he turned such a difficult situation into such a positive experience. If you’re looking for someone who will truly treat your pet like family, James is your person. Five stars aren’t enough!
I’m so grateful for Monica! Ice Bear unfortunately got sick during her stay, and Monica was so sweet and attentive throughout the whole situation. She even took Ice Bear to the vet and made sure she was getting the care she needed. She kept me updated with detailed messages, which I really appreciated, especially since I was away and couldn’t be there myself. It really meant a lot knowing Ice Bear was with someone who genuinely cared about her well being. Monica went above and beyond, and I couldn’t have asked for someone better to look after Ice Bear. Would absolutely book with her again! ❤️
Josh was a wonderful sitter for my senior girl, Lucy! Like most dogs, especially older dogs, she has her quirks and he was able to handle it all. He was very responsive the whole time and easy to coordinate and work with. I didn’t have to worry too much about whether she was in good hands when I was away. I would gladly rebook with Josh!
Kristi took such wonderful care of my dogs while I was away on my trip! When I returned, both of my dogs were happy, clean, well-fed, and clearly very well cared for. She went above and beyond by taking them on daily walks, bringing them to the park, and even taking my Chihuahua on a little adventure to Brooklyn! She also kept me updated with photos throughout my trip, which gave me so much peace of mind. It was clear that my dogs were comfortable, happy, and genuinely loved while in her care. I couldn’t have asked for a better experience! You can absolutely trust Kristi with your fur babies. I’m so grateful for the love and attention she gave my dogs and would definitely book with her again. Highly recommend!
Shehzad and his wife were wonderful with our dog Rosie, and we'd book them again in a heartbeat. At our meet and greet, they showed us around their apartment and the building, took time to get to know Rosie, and asked questions about her routine and personality. While we were away, they sent photos, videos, and updates. On our return day, our flight was delayed and traffic was heavy, so we arrived much later than planned. They were incredibly patient and understanding. When we picked Rosie up, they filled us in on how she'd done during her stay. They genuinely care about the dogs they look after. Highly recommended!
My senior frenchie had a great time with Bruno and Victoria’s family! They kept me updated with a ton of photos and updates (my dog needs to take 4 medications a day and needs some extra attention due to her medical issues). They have a really nice space, Bambi was almost always around someone, and I had zero worries while I was on the west coast for 6 days.
Jessica was INCREDIBLE with our senior dog Frida! We had more than a few unexpected changes before boarding and she was super flexible and helpful through it all. She also went out of her way to accommodate Frida while she was there, arranging and providing everything she might need, and giving Frida her medication daily. Jessica also sent multiple pictures throughout the week, which was great and kept us relaxed and happy knowing she was in loving hands. We’ll definitely book with her again!
I had great communication with Janet throughout the entire process. We did a meet and greet before the stay, and she asked thoughtful questions beforehand to really get to know Isabella. During the stay, she shared lots of photos and videos, which appreciated. Isabella adjusted quickly to the environment and became buddies with her dogs.

Frequently asked questions about Rover
The average cost of Dog Boarding in East Elmhurst is $53 per night as of October 2026. Most bookings cost between $27 and $77 per night. On Rover, sitters set their own rates based on factors such as their experience, the length of care, the number of pets, and your pet’s specific needs. As long as your booking dates and pet profiles are accurate, the price shown before you confirm is the total, including any booking fee.
As of October 2026, there are 14,005 sitters on Rover offering Dog Boarding across East Elmhurst. Enter your ZIP code to see which available sitters are closest to your home.
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.
94% 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.
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.
