“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.”
“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.”
“Jasmil once again was amazing with Papa! She and her family cared for him as if he was their own :) she is so patient with him and sends the best updates throughout his stay. I will always recommend Jasmil!!”
“Meilin took wonderful care of Teddy! He is blind and I was nervous leaving him for the first time. She was very attentive to his special needs and sent detailed updates. I loved her photos”
“Anky was very communicative throughout the whole stay, taking time to send multiple updates each day. She also took my pup to the dog park almost every day! My dog had a blast staying at Anky’s and I’d highly recommend booking with her”
“Amazing sitter! Received bunch of photos and videos every single day. Respond message quickly. Followed special direction exactly. HIGHLY RECOMMEND! I AND MY FUR BABY ARE SO LUCKY TO HAVE THEM.”
“Diana was very responsive and professional with my stay for my young high energy dog. She sent adorable pictures very often which made me happy while I was away. Her home is spacious and clean, and there's a backyard which was perfect for my dog to go potty in the snowy weather during my trip. Would definitely recommend and book again! Thank you Diana!!”
“John, took excellent care of our girl Cici. He was very communicative and always sent me pictures of her. She came back extremely happy. Cici is definitely looking forward staying with John again!”
“Meiqi was an amazing host, and took great care of both of my cats on short notice after a busted pipe. Will continue to book with her in the future and would highly recommend”
“Luzia and Laura were so great with my shih tzu Ruthie! She got all the cuddles she needed and I got all the picture updates I could have asked for. Will definitely be booking with them again.”
“Sam was absolutely wonderful with Kulfi! She paid attention to all of our instructions and made sure to give her tons of affection and play time. Sam sent lots of cute pics too so I knew Kulfi was doing well! Sam was also very accommodating and actually came to pick Kulfi up since she lives close by. I can’t wait to book with Sam again soon!”
“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!”
“Cannot endorse Lillian (and Picasso) enough! Chase and I have known both from the neighborhood for 2+ years and Lillian’s love, enthusiasm and understanding with the local pups was abundant. Chase just completed an awesome boarding stay and he is for sure still missing his adopted family. Lillian was patient and accommodating with some of Chase’s small quirks and scheduling adjustments when my flight was delayed. Chase had the time of his life and Lillian kept me updated with pics and funny stories of their adventures hanging out, walks and trips to the dog park. And of course Mr. Picasso is an awesome temporary step-bro—easily one of the sweetest, gentlest and most easy-going pups I’ve ever met. Huge thanks to Lillian & Picasso for caring for Chase so well and all the peace of mind while I was away 😁🐾🙏”
“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.”
“John went above and beyond for me and my dog, Andie! Great communication, flexible, and thoughtful throughout her stay. She was so genuinely loved and cared for by John and his family. He even gave her a bath and blow dry. The love is real! I felt completely at ease knowing Andie was in such great hands. I will absolutely be booking with John again. Highest recommendation! ❤️🐾”
“I had a long trip planned and thought of sending my dog all the way out to Queens from Manhattan so he could have a yard and a family! But I never knew I was booking THE BEST FAMILY IN THE FIVE BOROUGHS. This is the kindest, most loving, careful family ever. My dog got so much attention and care, and their little girl is his new best friend. Cannot recommend these folks enough.”
“Iwona was very attuned to my dog’s emotional needs and was always communicative and responsive. I wouldn’t doubt booking boarding with her again the next time I’m out of town.”
“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.”
“I had such a great experience with my cat sitter! She took amazing care of my cat, Simba, and kept me updated the whole time, which gave me so much peace of mind. It’s clear she genuinely loves animals and treats them like her own. Simba was happy, relaxed, and well cared for when I got back. I would absolutely trust her again and highly recommend her to anyone looking for a reliable and caring pet sitter 🐾!”

Gabby has watched my dog Halo at least 6-10 times! She and her partner are wonderful sitters! They also took in my two cats once or twice. It’s amazing for me to see my whole animal crew playing with other pets she is watching. It’s like one big happy family. All the animals and other peoples dogs look so friendly and even my dog looks so calm and comfortable. I’ll be using Gabby as my trusted sitter for a long time!
Josh was a wonderful sitter for my senior girl, Lucy! Like most dogs, especially older dogs, she has her quirks and he was able to handle it all. He was very responsive the whole time and easy to coordinate and work with. I didn’t have to worry too much about whether she was in good hands when I was away. I would gladly rebook with Josh!
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!
Ashely was so great with Gus! Very communicative. Asked questions prior to watching him, sent photos and kept me updated on how he was doing during his stay. Those qualities are very important to me as a dog mom especially with an overly excited golden retriever. He came home tired so I know he had a good weekend with her!
Mariana watched our two dogs for a week while we were on vacation and she was great! The dogs took to her easily and she was very accommodating to our time frame. She was highly responsive and we were able to get plenty of photos and updates. Would 100% recommend her.
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! 💕
I’m so grateful to Riley and her family for taking such wonderful care of my babies, Dana and Honey, especially on such short notice. I was very anxious, but Riley gave me so much peace of mind with frequent pictures, videos, and updates without me having to ask. I truly felt they were in loving hands. Thank you so much, Riley! I would absolutely recommend her to anyone looking for someone they can trust with their fur babies. ❤️🐾
I’m very happy to have found Juliana to watch our dog Benji while my husband and I went on our overdue honeymoon trip. We got updates and photos of him during his stay and he looked like he didn’t even miss us! We will definitely continue booking with her in the future!

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, 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.
<b>Tip:</b> 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.

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 .
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.
