“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.”
“David is quite simply the best!! I always have full confidence that my (sometimes difficult) little guy is safe, happy, and having fun at his place. I love the updates and know that Roman is always surrounded by friends, affection, and adventures from walks to the dog park. Thank you so much again, David! :)”
“Adriana has cared for my puppy multiple times and she is consistently amazing. Ollie is a nervous dog but she does a fantastic job of helping him feel secure and relaxed. Adriana sends photos daily and is very responsive to all communication. She is always number one on my list when I need a sitter!!!”
“Vanessa dog boarded my cocker spaniel for 3 nights. In that time I received daily updates (with photos) and top notch care. Shea was very well groomed and given a lot of love and attention. Vanessa even treated a skin issue Shea had and returned her brand new! I would highly recommend her in the future!”
“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!”
“Laila was amazing with my girl. She was attentive and patient with her anxiety and spoiled her rotten! So many cute videos/pictures with updates as well as great feedback on her behavior. 10/10 Laila is amazing.”
“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.”
“Erica was amazing with my girl Sweet Potato! She was super responsive when I needed a sitter in a pinch, and was communicative throughout her week-long boarding, putting me at ease throughout. I will definitely request Erica to take great care of my kid in the future.”
“Nicole took wonderful care of our pup while we were away on an extended trip. She sent plenty of photos and made our pup feel right at home. We are so grateful and would be interested in her services again!”
“Kiersten and Casey were the best Dogsitters we’ve had hands down! Incredibly attentive, tons of pictures, and it was clear June was as happy as could be. Thanks again guys!”
“Katsiayrna took great care of Dembe. She communicated throughout his time with her and sent pictures. I could tell that he enjoyed his time with her. I’m happy to have found a trusted sitter for my sweet boy 🫶🏼”
“John was the perfect choice to watch my sweet Barney while I was on a vacation. He is a true dog lover and treated Barney as his own. I will definitely be leaving my pup in his care when i travel in the future. So Thankful to have found John!”
“I needed to find a last minute sitter as my usual one is unavailable. She is local to me which is great. We arranged for a meet and greet with our dogs and all went well (her dogs are so sweet!). She is very accommodating to my dog's needs and after picking her up the next day, she was so exhausted from a great time with Lauren and her family (humans and pets). We will definitely be booking with Lauren again!”
“Booked last minute because of a trip out of town. Seems to be a warm caring couple. Their poodle Eliot is adorable and lots of energy. Toby seemed to get along with him. Would book again.”
“Josh was amazing with our boy Hades! He kept us updated throughout our trip, took Hades on long walks, and kept him by his side for his entire 5 day stay (Hades has separation anxiety, so we really appreciate the amount of attention Josh gave him to keep him calm!!) Hades came home happy and sleepy, we will definitely be booking with Josh again! Thank you!”

Adriana is wonderful and took great care of Winston for 4 days while I was away with my family. She made me and Winston feel immediately comfortable with her door wide open and dealt exceptionally well with his first-visit anxiety. I got to see lots of pictures and updates of Winston enjoying his day and had no worries while I was away. Thank you for taking the best care of Winston! Adriana promptly answered all of my questions and assuaged all of my concerns. On the day I dropped off Winston, he immediately immersed himself in her warm home. I couldn't have been happier with how everything went and would gladly trust Adriana to watch my fur baby again in the very near future. Thank you! Adriana made sure everything went as smoothly as possible. What a great experience!! I had a 4-day visit with family and wanted personal care for my Winnie. Adriana was enthusiastic, knowledgeable, and clearly loves dogs/animals. Her warmth when meeting Winnie for the first time immediately put me at ease as a brand new resident of Queens, NY, and I knew I made the right decision. I was impressed by Adriana's professionalism throughout the entire process. She requested detailed information about Winnie, and it was evident that she took the time to really understand Winnie's individual requirements, which made me feel confident in her ability to provide proper care. Most importantly, the quality of care provided by Adriana was outstanding. Winnie seemed genuinely happy and well-cared-for when I returned. It was evident that Adriana had spent quality time with him, engaging in playtime and providing the attention and affection that Winnie needed. I wholeheartedly recommend Adriana's dog boarding service. Her passion for animals, consistent communication, reliability, professionalism, and high-quality care make her an exceptional choice for anyone seeking a trustworthy and dedicated dog sitter. Without reservation, I will not hesitate to hire Adriana again in the future, knowing that my beloved Winston/Winnie will be in the best hands possible!
Hannah (Hanrou) took such wonderful care of our AppleJack! We truly appreciate her kindness, care, and thoughtfulness throughout his stay. The photos and updates were so reassuring and gives us peace of mind while we were away. We couldn’t have asked for better care. Highly recommend!
Josh cared for our boy Waldo for an extended weekend away and did a phenomenal job. He kept up with Waldo's heart medication as scheduled, took him on regular walks, fed him on his regular schedule, and gave him a very comfortable stay for his time away from home. We will absolutely be booking with Josh again in the future.
I had a wonderful experience with Shania as always! She took care of my dog for almost two weeks, and I couldn’t have been happier with the care she provided. My dog absolutely loves her, and she consistently kept me updated throughout the stay, which gave me so much peace of mind. I would highly recommend her and would happily book with her again!
Ashley was amazing and my dog really loved her! 2 weeks without my dog and I can’t imagine a more comfortable setup, she was so well cared for and happy when I picked her up. Ashley kept me up to date with photos, videos, etc. I’ve never felt so comfortable with my dog in someone else’s care and this was the most time we spent apart in 10 years! Thank you so much Ashley!
Leaving your dog with anyone is super nerve-racking and can give you a lot of anxiety, but when I tell you that all of my anxiety and nervousness went away instantly when me and my dog Tyson met Michelle and Michael. Tyson immediately fell in love with them you can tell he was so happy to meet them, it’s almost as if he already knew them. It’s something about their energy and presence. It’ll be a blessing for your dog to stay with them. Tyson is a 75 pound mostly pitbull/Labrador, so of course with our size dogs we’re always a little more nervous and worried if dog sitters are going to take care of your dog the way you want them to and I can say that Michael and Michelle went above and beyond, they sent me pictures and updated me how he was doing daily. And when I picked up Tyson, he was at peace, He didn’t have any anxiety. He was really calm and happy. You can tell that he had a great stay and was well taken care of. I will highly recommend Michelle and Michael. Also their home is super clean ! Thank you again for the awesome service and for showing all the love to my boy while I was away. Tyson will be back.
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! ❤️
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!
Not sure where to begin.. Irina is AMAZING! She was so caring of my dog, so attentive and kind. Provided me with constant updates throughout each day with lots of fun photos and videos. Genuinely went above and beyond from every aspect. When I got my dog back he was super clean, healthy, happy and smiling which even moreso tells me he really enjoyed his stay with her. I can go on and on about how great our experience was, but you should definitely try it for yourselves and see. Thank you again so much for all the love and care you provided us! 💕

The average cost of Dog Boarding in Forest Hills is $56 per night as of November 2026. Most bookings cost between $33 and $80 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 of November 2026, there are 14,011 sitters on Rover offering Dog Boarding across Forest Hills. Enter your ZIP code to see which available sitters are closest to your home.
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 Forest Hills 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 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.
Yes, you can find sitters who have experience with handling special pet needs in Forest Hills. 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 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.
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.
