“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.”
“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.”
“Iwona was great with Mason! Really appreciated how well he looked upon pick up. It was clear she took the time to groom his face while he was in her care. He was a very happy and content little boy in her care.”
“I'm always a little nervous leaving my elderly dauchsund with back problems, but Adriana was beyond wonderful. She is kind, attentive, and knowledgeable. Aside from the adorable daily photoshoots, she took amazing care of my dog. My pup will absolutely be a repeat guest of Adriana <3. I 100% recommend. As a repeat user of Rover's service, this was the best experience. Thank you, Adriana!”
“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.”
“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.”
“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.”
“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.”
“Michael watched our dog June for one night in preparation for a longer stay and was very communicative and helpful! We’re looking forward to having June stay with him 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!”
“David and Marcelle (his partner) were fantastic! They understood Dante's quirks and just let him be a dog, which definitely put him at ease. David and Marcelle were able to get Dante's leash reactivity under control, of course, with the help of Nuno their rescue pup. I believe it was all of the cuddles Dante received that definitely made him a more confident dog when he came home. David was highly communicative, with a bit of wit to add, sending me several updates a day with photos. I highly recommend David, and look forward to boarding Dante with him again!”
“My pug Charlie had another wonderful time with Abbie and Peachy. Charlie feels really safe with Abbie even though she is a little anxious and Peachy is a great friend that helps Charlie to stay active and socialized especially in this cold weather. Outstanding hosts!”
“Sam and her family hosted our cockapoo Diamond for a week. Working with Sam was an amazing experience from the first day we inquired! Diamond's stay was amazing, he had lots of fun which we could tell by all the photos that were sent to us. He was loved and taken very good care of for the week. Sam is also a great communicator which was very important to us because Diamond can be a little particular and a picky eater. Sam kept us informed about how Diamond was eating and how he was adapting to his new environment. Hands down we give Sam 10 stars🌟!”
“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!”
“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!”
“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!”
“Steven was absolutely amazing with Cookie! Photos were shared daily and Steven was very responsive! I could see that Cookie really enjoyed herself there I will be using his services again in the near future!”
“Sophie’s second time with Dane. As always very grateful to have found Dane. Feel’s great to know my pup is on vacation while I’m on vacation. Highly Highly recommend! Thank you guys for everything!”
“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 😊”

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.
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 !!
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!
Megan and Brian are the absolute best! They took amazing care of our beagle Benji for five days and treated him like one of their own. We received regular updates and pictures. We could tell he was happy, comfortable, and well-loved the entire time. It gave us so much peace of mind while we were away. We’re so grateful for the excellent care and would absolutely trust them again in the future. Highly recommend!

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 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 13,996 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.
