“Trusting someone with our Theo for the first time was a big step for us. Our trip had been planned before we welcomed him into our family, and I even considered canceling it due to the anxiety of leaving him with a sitter. I’m so glad we found Juliana and her family. The relief I felt when we received updates with photos was immense—Theo looked happy and well cared for. Juliana provided daily updates and was always quick to respond when we checked in. Thank you @Juliana!”
“Margarita and Cristian took wonderful care of my dog, Gracey, while I was away for 10 days abroad. They sent pictures and let me know how she was doing. I provided notes and suggestions about Gracey as she has anxiety and she managed to adjust really well in their environment and with the other dogs that had overlapped with Gracey’s stay. I look forward to when I need to have Gracey stay with them in the future.”
“I've booked Kristin a few times, and she has always been very kind and helpful, especially with the special accommodations that my cat needs. I feel she provided a good environment for boarding my cat. In particular, I appreciate her being very helpful and communicative after my cat had a medical episode and needed to be taken to the ER. Her care made a difficult moment easier to go through.”
“Adriana is absolutely the best! My 12 year old chihuahua, Trudy, has never spent a night away from me. I needed someone to take care of her for three nights and she can be quite any around strangers. But it could not have gone better. Adriana sent me pictures a number of times each day. I could see how happy and relaxed Trudy was. I am so happy. I will definitely use her again.”
“AMAZING AMAZING AMAZING!!! Our pup obviously enjoyed his stay over the holidays! I can’t be so happy and grateful for the daily photo and videos! Truly going to be booking you again for future trips! Baxter truly was loved from the daily updates, my partner & I felt such a relief regardless if we have no reception. We truly appreciate it! Thank you!!!”
“Awesome dog sitter! Sent me pictures and gave me updates everyday. I’m not sure my dog even wanted to come home after staying with them. Will definitely use them again.”
“We love David and Marcy so much! We always feel totally confident that Archie is in good hands, and they're super flexible about pickup and drop-off times. Can't recommend enough. Also their resident dog, Nuno, is a true king.”
“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!”
“Gabriela took care of Naro a whole week. Took him on long walks and sent me lots of pictures. She was a true angel and very accommodating for last minute requests. I’ll choose her without doubt.”
“Vanessa made this a great experience. We were very pleased with the communication while we were away and how well she took care of our Peppy. We’d definitely recommend her to everyone.”
“If I could give 10 stars I would. Iwona was a god send, her, her family and dog were so lovely and I could tell how much Elvis loved being there. She took such good care of him and stayed in touch with me, sending photos and updates every day of my trip. If she is available for any of my trips in the future I will without a doubt bring Elvis to her.”
“Bridget was wonderful. Zuko, my 14-pound Shihpooh, had a happy and relaxed time in her home. I could tell he was comfy and well cared for. Highly recommend.”
“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!”
“This is the second time we leave our cat Luna to Sherry and Walter and as always they took such good care of her , provided frequent updates and made amazing studio level photos We will definitely have them babysit Luna again soon Thanks again”
“Tiffany and Joel took wonderful care of our puppy Theo. They were awesome at sending lots of photos and updates throughout the day, making us feel super comfortable and happy to see he was having a great time. Would recommend them to anyone on Rover and I’m sure Theo would love to stay with them again!”
“Bruno and Victoria were absolutely wonderful with my dog! From the moment we met them, they were kind, attentive, and genuinely caring. They kept me updated throughout the stay with photos and messages, which gave me so much peace of mind. It was clear that my dog was comfortable, well cared for, and received plenty of attention and affection. They were reliable, communicative, and treated my pet like one of their own. I came home to a happy, relaxed dog, which says everything about the quality of care they provided. I highly recommend Bruno and Victoria to anyone looking for trustworthy and compassionate pet sitters. I would definitely book with them again. Thank you both for taking such great care of my furry family member!”
“Jelfri has become my go to when it comes to pet sitters for my dog when I’m out of town. He takes awesome care of Meatball and is always super responsive. Couldn’t recommend more!”
“She was great with Max. Max loved her, she is very kind and cooperative. She updated me with lovely pictures of him and took great care of him. I would definitely have her take care of him again.”
“Ralph did a great job taking care of my anxious senior dog! He made sure he knew what she needed to have a comfortable stay and sent plenty of updates throughout the week so I never had to worry. Would definitely recommend!”
“Krystal took wonderful care of our dog, Joules, while we were away for two weeks. We were initially nervous about leaving our older dog for that long, but Krystal made the experience completely stress-free. She kept us updated regularly, gave Joules plenty of attention and long walks, and clearly cared about his well-being. We came home to a happy dog and couldn't be more pleased. We highly recommend Krystal!”

Anna was absolutely amazing! She watched our Goldendoodle, Zoie, for a full week and we couldn’t have asked for a better experience. She was incredibly reliable, communicative, and caring, and it was clear from the start that Zoie was in great hands. We had complete peace of mind while we were away, and came home to a very happy and well cared for dog. Zoie absolutely loved her, and we’ll definitely be using Anna again.
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.
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! ❤️🐾

FAQs for Dog Boarding - Forest Hills
Frequently asked questions about Rover
The average cost for Dog Boarding in Forest Hills on Rover is $55.5 per night (as of September 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 September 2026, there are 13,992 sitters on Rover offering Dog Boarding across Forest Hills. 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 Forest Hills 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 Forest Hills 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 Forest Hills 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 Forest Hills.
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 Forest Hills 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.
