“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.”
“Great experience with Grace. She has a fenced backyard that the dogs can play in. She provides daily picture updates and tells u how your dog is doing. Very accommodating to any requests. Would definitely book again!”
“This was our first time using Rover, and Emily made it such a great experience. She took great care of Lolah from April 1–11 and sent photo updates that made me feel at ease while I was away. Lolah was clearly in good hands. I would definitely book with her again—highly recommend!”
“Angelique was a lifesaver. She took care of our sweet boy while we were away for the weekend. She was so attentive and communicative when he had unexpected stomach issues and made sure our boy was well taken care of. Truly appreciate her and could not recommend more highly!”
“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.”
“I reached out on very short notice but she was able to watch MJ. She sent pics and kept me updated the whole time. Very grateful for her! Thank you!! MJ will definitely be a returning client”
“I’m new to town and am SO grateful I found Pamela. I don’t leave my pupper very often and he (and me) was very anxious about staying in a new place with new friends. Pamela is a dog whisperer and she could tell that he was nervous but assured me that he would be just fine. After the first day, he settled in and soon was happy and content. Pamela was awesome and very understanding of my need for lots of communication and pictures! I highly recommend her!!”
“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.”
“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.”
“This was Timmy’s second stay with Denis and his wife, and once again, everything was absolutely perfect. Timmy stayed with them for 12 nights, and from the moment we dropped him off, it was clear he remembered them and felt comfortable right away. He was calm, relaxed, and not nervous at all, which gave us so much peace of mind while we were away. Denis and his wife truly treat Timmy like family. They showed him so much love, care, and attention throughout his stay, and it honestly felt like he was at his second home. We knew he was in great hands the entire time. We’re so grateful to have found sitters we completely trust, and we will absolutely continue booking with them in the future. Highly recommend to anyone looking for kind, reliable, and attentive pet sitters.”
“Lal was amazing! She watched our puppy and was very communicative and committed to taking great care of him! It was our first time leaving him and we were so pleased with her and are glad to have a trusted sitter!”
“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 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.”
“It was our first time using Rover and leaving our pup and we’re so glad we choose Bridget! We were just around the corner from her and it’s a plus that she has a pup of her own, Dior, to keep our little guy company. She sent daily updates, including pictures, of our little guy and he came home happy and healthy. We will definitely continue to use Bridget to help care for our little guy Marty!”
“Gaby and her husband were wonderful with my pet cat Bushoo. They sent daily updates with photos, and Bushoo seemed happy when she came home. I will definitely be rebooking with them!”
“Eric was an amazing sitter to my baby, Ruby! I just recently moved to NY and had to find a sitter for a trip that had been planned before I moved here. I would have never gone on this trip had I not found Eric. Ruby was so happy around him and from all the pictures I received, I could tell she was having a great time with him. He helped her socialize with other dogs, which was very necessary since the place where we lived previously didn't have many dogs around, he took her to the park to play and on the rainy days, they just hung out at home and cuddled. Her favorite thing ever! He was very loving and kind toward her and I know she's made a friend for life. I will definitely be contacting Eric in the future when I need someone to watch my baby again. I highly recommend him.”
“Ryan watched both our dogs for a couple of days while we were gone. Initially it was only supposed to be one but we had some plans change and had a last minute request which he kindly accommodated. He kept us updated everyday while watching the boys. One of them got an upset stomach which he helped tend to. Thank you for taking good care of the boys!”
“Milly was so kind as to take our pup for a last minute request and he had a great time! She was well prepared to handle his separation anxiety and gave him some yummy natural treats as well. We will definitely be booking again.”
“Qin En took good care of my cat Echo while I was out of town. She sent me multiple pictures/videos a day so I can enjoy my vacation while making sure my cat is doing well. She genuinely loves cats and actually any animals! 😂 highly recommend 😊”
“Anthony and Sofiya were fantastic with Oliver while I was away! They were incredibly patient and reassuring from the start, especially since I was a little nervous leaving my pup for the first time. They kept me updated with messages and photos throughout the stay, which really gave me peace of mind. I’d absolutely highly recommend them and I look forward to have them take care of Ollie again.”

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!
She’s very sweet and kind. A little bit of a miscommunication between us but was handled extremely professionally. My dog was nervous on the first day and acting out of the normal. She communicated well with me and was super understanding. Nala was in great hands and I’d definitely leave her under her care again ☺️
I left my two dogs with Ma and her family for a 10-day trip, and they took excellent care of them. They not only fed and cared for my dogs, but also spent quality time playing with them and regularly sent me photos and videos, which gave me great peace of mind while I was away. What impressed me most was how attentive Ma was to my dogs' behavior. It was clear that she spent a lot of time with them and genuinely cared about their well-being. During their stay, both of my dogs developed diarrhea. Ma notified me promptly, kept me updated on their condition, and worked closely with me on how to treat them. When I became concerned that one of my dogs might need veterinary care, she was ready to take him to my veterinarian immediately. She also carefully administered his medication, and he recovered well. Knowing that my dogs were in such caring and capable hands allowed me to enjoy my trip with much less worry. I highly recommend Ma and her family, and I will definitely book with them again in the future.
Maria was absolutely a perfect dog sitter. She took great care of my Xena last minute and made Xena feel comfortable in her home. Maria was very responsive, reliable, easygoing and a pleasure to communicate with. She send pic updates. Maria was also flexible with times and dates for drop off and pickup. I highly recommend Maria !!
I am so glad I found Nicolas and his family. His Step dad Ricardo is a retired firefighter with such a calm demeanor, which was a huge plus when you are dealing with a GSD puppy. His mom also has a lot of experience growing up with her own dogs. Initially I had a very hard time finding a sitter that accepted unspayed dogs and dogs that are in heat. I am grateful that wasn’t the case with Nicolas and his family. I dropped off my dog and she had diarrhea which I thought would’ve cleared up with a bland diet with chicken and white rice, which they had cooked for her. They also administered medication at times and had to walk her at all times throughout the night when she had to go. Every day they kept me up to date on my dogs health and sent photos and videos. I could see my baby was very happy. They also did some magic because my dog would go crazy when I cleaned the floors with a broom or a rag but that isn’t the case anymore. I don’t think you will find a more loving family that will take care of your pet like it’s their own.
Athena was a great sitter. I needed a last minute booking and she, with no hesitation picked up and responded to all my questions and requests. Athena updated me throughout her whole booking and was constantly and consistently sending me photos and videos of Ziggy. But her expertise didnt end at the end of the booking. She evn gave me great advice and pointers to help me with my new puppy. I will definitely recommend Athena.
We needed to find a new Rover sitter and decided to reach out to Janie. After a quick meet and greet, we were confident Momo would be in good hands. We were only gone for the weekend, but we received plenty of photo and video updates from Janie. Momo got lots of love and plenty of playtime. Janie treated Momo like she was her own pup and we greatly appreciated her care and attention!
I can’t say enough great things about this dog boarding experience! From the moment we arrived, it was clear my dog was in caring, capable hands. What really stood out was how she took the time to care for my dog at her own pace, making sure she felt comfortable and safe the entire stay. I came back to a happy, pooped out pup, which says everything. Highly recommend!
I am grateful to Susan C. for taking good care of my puggle Remy. Susan was very responsive to any of my concerns, thus giving me peace of mind! Susan was generous in providing lots of photos for me to enjoy while being separated from Remy. I would definately use her again!

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.
