“It was my first time leaving Cotton with a sitter after a couple of years so I was not sure if he will adjust to being in a foreign environment with strangers however after the first update and pictures I could see that Margarita is a friendly and caring sitter and he was at ease. I received frequent updates and pictures as details on how he was behaving. I will highly recommend Margarita & Christian when considering to leave your furry friend they will be in a safe environment and will be well taken care of. Communication from beginning to end was great and I will definitely use their service in the future.”
“I’m so happy I found Emily! My dog tends to be pretty high energy and which makes me a little nervous. Emily was awesome— she communicated with me and sent me photos through out Harlem’s stay. He was very calm and well taken care of. I will certainly be booking again!!”

“Sarah gave Dante an outstanding stay caring for him while we were away visiting family do 3 days. She sent plenty of photos and kept us updated several times a day on how he was doing. She took Dante on 2-3 walks a day and gave him plenty of opportunities to make new furry friends at Central Park. Highly recommend Sarah and hope we can work together again!”
“I am so thankful Charlie was available for a last minute booking/ boarding for our dog, Bibi. After communicating our needs, we knew Charlie was a great fit. Our dog felt right at home, and Charlie communicated frequently throughout her time there, including sending picture and video updates unprompted. We would love the opportunity to re-book with Charlie in the future.”
“Gabby‘s spoiled cerulean so much she’s like “why am I not at my hotel stay and came back chill, calm, a bit energetic because I know she was ready to play and all that but Gabby took real good care and sent me a lot of updates and photos. It was good.”
“This was the second time my Noodles spent time with John. He came home super calm, happy and tired which is so unusual for this energetic puppy. Thank you so much!”
“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!”

Ryan sent several pictures not to mention asking questions pertaining to my dogs needs. He is an excellent dog sitter. Trust me when I tell you booking him is a fantastic choice!!!”
“Sabrina was amazing with magnolia! I’ve had unfavorable Rover experiences in the past so planned ahead and did a meet and greet. I could tell instantly how warm and genuine she is- she even read up on the notes before that meeting. I felt super comfortable heading into our weekend away. During the weekend she gave several updates and was generous with photos/ videos all descriptive of magnolias characteristics. I knew Magnolia loved her stay with Sabrina when I picked her up and she kept looking back for her to walk away with us! I will absolutely book with her again whenever she’s free!”
“Anastasia was wonderful. First time using her,she gave daily updates which had me at ease and a genuine love for animals. I will definitely rebook with her. She gained my trust.. and Nyla’s…”
“Kristen was amazing to work with! She sent daily updates with adorable pictures of my little old lady, which totally eased my nerves since it was my first time leaving her in someone else's care. I'd happily leave my dog with her again.”
“Anthony and Sofiya are the BEST!! They have taken care of my pup Mickey like he’s their own. Mickey’s so happy when he realizes we’re heading for their door. And as a dog mom who hates leaving him behind when I travel for work, it is SO reassuring to know how happy he is there, and how much they love him. They are so thorough, detail-oriented, and attentive, and they send tons of photos, too. Cannot recommend them highly enough! 💜💜💜”

Dog parents share their Rover experiences - East Elmhurst
Athena was amazing at taking care of my puppy Isobel. She made sure that we were informed that she has been fed, walked and even napped. Sent picture and video updates. Athena also made sure that our puppy Isobel was safe and tucked during the 4th of July fireworks to avoid Isobel being scared. I definitely would recommend Athena's services to any dog parent. Will definitely will be using her services again in the future.
Amanda and Kevin are superb! Our dog Piper is very shy and they treat her like family, she opens up to them right away. This time our dog was unexpectedly put on meds before her stay and they were great about making sure she took her antibiotics. We’d recommend them to anyone! Super communicative and lovely people.
Peggy and Anthony were awesome! Despite having a big dog that can be intimidating to many, they welcomed him with open arms and took very good care of our baby! They were awesome and asked all the right questions. Their excitement to have him, made it easier to feel comfortable leaving him with them.
Rosie is our 14-year-old dachshund mixed dog with arthritis and separation anxiety, and leaving her for nights at first worried us as we’ve never done boarding before. But Kam gave us total peace of mind. She learned Rosie’s whole feeding and supplement routine thoroughly, and since Rosie eats so little, she even boiled eggs for extra nutrition (she always checks with us first to make sure if Rosie can or can not eat certain things). Worried Rosie would be anxious at night, she slept on the living room floor with her. Every day we got sweet, detailed updates with photos and/or videos. You can tell Kam truly loves animals and cares for every pet like her own. This was the most relaxed we’ve ever felt leaving Rosie. Thank you, Kam.
Jennifer and her family were so kind and went above and beyond for our dog. She kept us updated with photos and tried everything she could to get him to eat when he didn’t want to. He seemed so calm and happy when we picked him up!! We’ll definitely be using her in the future. We could not recommend her enough!!
Margarita and Cristian were fantastic! They took great care of my dog and were attentive throughout the entire stay. They kept me updated, which gave me complete confidence that my dog was in good hands. I wouldn’t hesitate to book with them again and highly recommend them to anyone looking for reliable and caring sitters.
Suzanne is amazing! She keeps us constantly connected throughout the whole stay with the BEST photos and updates! It is very clear that she is super comfortable and experienced around dogs. Charlie can be shy and she makes sure that he is comfortable and happy. Highly recommend and will be sure to book with her again!

The average cost for Dog Boarding in East Elmhurst on Rover is $50.29 per night (as of July 2026). However, all sitters set their own rates based on experience, location, and availability.
Rover makes budgeting the cost of Dog Boarding easy. As long as your dates and pet profiles are correct, the price you see before you book is the same price you pay for Dog Boarding. For more information on service fees, click here .
As of July 2026, there are 14,028 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 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.
