“I had to go on a trip that was booked months in advance but with the holidays around the corner, it was very hard to find someone caring and trustworthy. I came across Chris and his wonderful home and thought why not. Once I dropped my pups off it was like they entered their second home. They were given full attention and the best treatment any dog owner could ask for. I was updated with photos and videos almost every hour. It was almost like as if I never left. I definitely will be coming back again. If you need a trustworthy and attentive sitter, look no further than here! Thank you Chris!”

We highly recommend her to anyone who wants their baby puppy to be well cared for. We will definitely take our baby to Vanessa again. So happy we found her! We Love Her!!!!”

Dog parents share their Rover experiences - Elmont
This was my first time using Rover and I was a little apprehensive to leave my Kenzo for 8 days. That was the longest I've ever had him boarded. Lorena and her family had my little Kenzo feel right at home. She sent plenty of pictures and communicated with me everyday. I would absolutely 100% board with her again and would recommend her to anyone using Rover for the first time!
I trust Tanu and her family 100% with my sweet 50lb Sheepadoodle Latke. She sent me videos and photos regularly twice a day; the transition for drop off and pick up was seamless. I felt confident the whole time I was away that my pup was well cared for and attended to. I highly recommend her.
Highly Recommend Britany! Britany was absolutely wonderful with Tommy! Knowing he was in such good hands gave me so much peace of mind, especially while I was busy hosting my daughter’s Sweet 16. I was able to enjoy and focus on such a special and important night without having to worry about Tommy because I knew he was being well taken care of. Britany was reliable, caring, and made the entire experience stress-free. It means so much to have someone you can trust with your fur baby, and I’m so grateful for her help. I would absolutely recommend Britany to anyone looking for a dependable and caring dog sitter. Thank you, Britany, for taking such great care of Tommy and sending so many great pictures and videos.
Alexa is amazing and Jack came back home very happy. From the beginning Alexa suggested and accommodated a meet and greet day, and Jack was more then happy to stay with Alexa the day of babysitting. Alexa also was more then accepting of time extensions and I also met her Dad. When Jack was dropped off they had a small sign in the door with jacks name welcoming him. Thank you Alexa!!
Jonisha has been a pleasure. This is my second experience with her. Absolutely amazing experiences! I couldn’t have asked for a better dog sitter. She was incredibly caring, attentive, reliable, and treated my dog like her own. It gave me such peace of mind knowing my fur baby was in such loving and capable hands. Her professionalism and genuine love for animals truly stand out. I highly recommend her to anyone looking for someone trustworthy and compassionate. I will definitely be booking with her again!
A last-minute family emergency led me to Grace, and I’m so grateful it did. She happily welcomed Danny and made it a priority to ensure he would feel comfortable and happy staying with her for the weekend. She was communicative and responsive throughout, which means so much to me. Danny loved spending the weekend with Grace, and I’m simply grateful she exists!
Narly and her family is so amazing! This is our dog’s 3rd time staying with Narly for around a week and he always has the best time playing with her pups. She does a great job keeping us updated with pictures daily! Thanks for being such a lovely home away from home for our doggo and he can’t wait to visit again soon!
This is my third time booking with Tyler, and I’ll continue to do so! He is incredibly responsive, keeps me updated throughout the stay with photos, and, most importantly, my dog absolutely loves spending time with him. I always feel confident knowing my pup is in great hands. Highly recommend Tyler to anyone looking for a reliable, caring, and trustworthy sitter!
We had a wonderful experience with Cynthia as our dog sitter! She was caring, responsible, and attentive to our dog’s needs. She kept us updated throughout the stay, which gave us great peace of mind, and our dog was happy, comfortable, and well cared for. We truly appreciated her kindness and reliability and would absolutely recommend Cynthia to anyone looking for a trustworthy and loving dog sitter!
Abbie was fantastic watching our dog Mongchi overnight! She sent regular videos and pictures throughout the stay, so we always felt in the loop and could tell Mongchi was happy and comfortable in her care. He even got to play with her dog Peachy, and it was so sweet seeing them become friends — Mongchi had a blast! Drop-off and pick-up were both easy and stress-free. Abbie is communicative, caring, and it's obvious she genuinely loves the dogs she watches. We felt completely at ease leaving Mongchi with her. We'll definitely be booking with Abbie again!
Ingrid and her family are great host. They hosted Max for almost 2 weeks. They have Max lots of attention and love. She sent multiple pictures and videos every day while we were away. She communicates very well and quickly. Will continue to use Ingrid for upcoming trips and maybe check ins from time to time.
10/10 doesn’t even feel like enough! She is literally the BEST dog sitter ever. You can genuinely tell how much she cares about my dog and goes above and beyond every single time. She takes him out, gives him so much love and attention, and always makes sure he’s happy and comfortable. I never have to worry about him when he’s with her because I know he’s in the best hands. I’m so grateful I found someone I can trust with my baby. Highly, highly recommend her!!!

If you would like updates while you’re away, you can discuss with your sitter how many or how frequent you’d like those updates to be. The Rover app allows sitters to send photos, videos, and messages about your pet, including how many pee or poop breaks occurred. You can message your sitter at any time through the app and our support team is available 24/7 by email or chat if you have concerns.
The personalized, in-home nature of pet care through Rover can mean more individual attention for your pet.
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 Elmont 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 Elmont 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 Elmont.
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.
Yes, you can find sitters who have experience with handling special pet needs in Elmont. On Rover:
- 85% of sitters can help with special care needs
- 90% can help with giving oral medications or injections
- 94% can help with daily exercise
You can also find pet sitters on Rover who accept only one pet at a time, which is ideal for anxious puppies, kittens, or senior pets who move at a gentler pace. Some sitters will also list availability for 24/7 care, also known as constant care, in their profiles.
Use the search filters to narrow down sitters whose specific experience or environment meets your pet's needs. When reaching out to your sitter, outline your pet's care routine and use the Meet & Greet to walk your sitter through your expectations.
You and your Elmont 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.
Adding another pup to the pack? Most sitters and walkers offer a reduced rate for additional dogs. You’ll find these exact rates listed under the "Services" tab on any sitter's profile. Since every dog is unique, final pricing may vary depending on the level of care required.
