“Our Buddy Rumpus spent the whole day playing! We got pictures of a happy boy all day long. We're always nervous about leaving him with someone new but he was in great hands. She even brushed him before we brought him home.”
“I found Jennifer while searching for a dogsitter for Thanksgiving. She was terrific. We did a meet-and-greet beforehand to get acquainted. She is very nice and clearly comfortable with dogs. She was flexible with timing (drop off and pick up) and sent me messages and pictures for updates. Very grateful she was available for the holiday. I recommend Jennifer to anyone with a dog who is looking for a sitter.”
“Juliana watched our precious pup Winston for the day while we went to the US open (she is located right by the stadiums and had phenomenal reviews). She did not disappoint! She was very attentive to Winston and patient with him as he can be quite shy at first. He had a very good experience and I’m glad we left him in good hands.”
“This was our second time leaving our Buddy boy with Dane. He sent us pictures and videos throughout the day. He was very communicative. Five out of five!”
“Ms. Anamika was phenomenal with our puppy who suffers with separation anxiety. He got to exercise in her backyard and had so much room to explore and be curious. She provided pictures and videos to put our minds at ease while his dad and I went to work. We definitely recommend and will be using her services again. Peace and blessings, Amanda, Tanner and Ragnar Ganesh.”
About: I provide dependable, loving care for dogs of all sizes and treat every pet as if they were my own. Whether it’s walks, playtime, feeding, or overnight care, I make sure your dog stays safe, happy, and comfortable while you’re away. Pet care is a regular part of my daily routine, and I make time each day for walks, feeding, playtime, and giving pets the attention they deserve. My flexible schedule allows me to provide reliable care throughout the week, including weekends when needed. I follow each pet’s normal routine by providing fresh food and water, regular walks, playtime, and plenty of attention while making sure they feel safe and comfortable. In both my home and my client’s home, I keep the environment clean, follow any special care instructions, and treat every pet with patience, kindness, and respect.
“I had a wonderful experience with Stephanie as our dog sitter! She took care of my dog overnight and did an amazing job. I received daily updates and adorable photos, which made me feel so at ease. She was incredibly pleasant, accommodating, and truly seemed to care about my pet's well-being. I highly recommend her to anyone looking for a reliable and caring pet sitter!”
“Ana was incredibly sweet with our Boston Terrier puppy who experienced his first time away from us with her. She sent lots of pictures and gave frequent updates. Highly recommended!”
About: I have been caring for other people’s pets since I was 14 years old, and from a young age I’ve been passionate about animal welfare. Over the years, I’ve gained experience with puppies, picky eaters, senior dogs, and dogs with medical needs, including administering insulin injections and medications for diabetic dogs. Your dog will be cared for by a compassionate, attentive, and affectionate sitter who truly treats every pet like family. I also have three dogs of my own, so your pup will always have companionship and will never feel bored or lonely. I understand how it feels to leave your own dog in someone else’s care, which is why I strive to be the kind of sitter I would want for my own pets—reliable, loving, and highly attentive. This year, I became a stay-at-home dog mom, which means your pup will receive full-time care, supervision, and attention throughout the day. Since I spend most of my time at home, your dog will always have a safe, loving, and attentive environment while in my care. I love spending quality time with my pup and doing fun, enriching activities throughout the day, and your dog will be included too! We enjoy going to the park, taking long walks, and staying active together whenever the weather is safe and your dog is comfortable and healthy enough for exercise. At home, I make sure the dogs in my care receive plenty of playtime, attention, and affection in a loving environment.
“So grateful for them. I was extremely nervous of leaving Teddy because since I’ve rescued him, I hadn’t been able to leave him with a sitter because he’s a nervous dog and it takes him a while to open up. Luckily they were so amazing and understanding with him. Teddy even let them scratch his belly. Can’t wait for them to watch Teddy again so they can continue building that trust.”
“I am really thankful I found Arianna. My dog warmed up to her very quickly , she gives helpful updates and I am so thankful for how accommodating she is. Sway & I thank you.”
“Sophia is fantastic! She helped us out when we had an emergency and needed pet care — she is responsive and very kind. She gave us updates during the day and made our Pumpkin feel very comfortable. We would highly recommend.”
“Steven was perfect with our dog, sent amazing pictures and video, and kept us updated on how he was doing. Steven’s dogs are adorable and were the perfect playmates. We will absolutely be booking again very soon. Thank you!”
“Priscilla has become a calm in my storm! She is always communicative, and helps me to much with my pup that has generalized anxiety and SA. Thank you so much! We love having you- especially me so I can have a few dog free hours in my week! 5 stars!”
“Sara accepted our last minute request to take care of our doggo Frankie. She has been the kindest and cared for our pup as if he’a her own :) She also has two pups at home so Frankie felt more confident being around his kind ahha. I would recommend her to everyone: responsive, reliable, caring— full package! Thank you Sara!”
“Iwona was fantastic and updated me frequently. She was very kind to my dog, who has a lot of anxiety but Iwona handled it with a lot of grace and seemed like my dog didn't want to come back from having such a good time Would recommend!”

“What a lovely person - I’d give her 100 stars if that were an option. To explain, I had to go into my office LAST minute and at 1230 am it was my first time using this app and I posted requests for someone to basically dog sit for the same day- she was immediately responsive even though it was a last minute request. I saw she had already gotten consistent great reviews and I was worried to leave my 7 week old shih tsu (like a baby) with anyone ) -Jameeka she handles all dog ages - she was responsive, kept me updated throughout the day. I even got stuck in traffic on the way for pick up and was late she was fine. The top 3 reasons I give Jameeka 5 stars is because 1) she is the opposite of stressful and worked with my unique needs, 2) she has great communication skills snd 3) it is clear she is an expert - my puppy was returned perfectly she gave me some updates and my puppy was happy and fell right asleep because Jameeka ensured my puppy got play time and exercise time - thank you !”

This is my second time leaving Freckles (Pitbull/Bully Mix) over at Jonalynn’s house, they instantly connected and got along. To my surprise my dog got along with Romeo just fine, best buds. Romeo knows hows to behave and be around bigger dogs. Jonalynn updated me with pictures of Freckles and Romeo together playing, resting, window watching. She is also a huge life saver for last minute bookings, best dog sitter ever!
Peggy and Anthony were terrific with our very active young cockapoo. Even though our dog stayed with them for the first time, it was as if she knew them all this time. Peggy and Anthony were also very responsive, warm, understanding and easy to talk to about the dog’s needs. We look forward to having them take care of our dog again in the future.
Sara accepted our last minute request to take care of our doggo Frankie. She has been the kindest and cared for our pup as if he’a her own :) She also has two pups at home so Frankie felt more confident being around his kind ahha. I would recommend her to everyone: responsive, reliable, caring— full package! Thank you Sara!
Kaylee is so kind and accommodating. I brought my dog to her home for daycare and he was under the weather the whole time but Kaylee made him feel so loved and cared for. She truly treats them like family and makes them feel at home. My dog Frankie didn’t want to leave after I picked him up :)
Juliana was able to accommodate a last minute sitting request for my two senior dogs. She was extremely responsive, caring and provided updates throughout the day. Our dogs are elderly, shy and need frequent walks and she took care of them as if they were her own. Highly recommend!
Janie was great with our senior dog who is very anxious. Janie went above and beyond to make him feel comfortable for the day. She sat with him, let him explore, and gave him a lot of attention. She was very thoughtful with her questions in order to really understand his needs and updated us throughout the day. We will definitely book with her again.
Dawson's safety and comfort is always my top priority so having to find a new sitter made me feel very anxious. I shouldn't have worried though because from the first meet and greet to the two daycare visits that Emely has completed with Dawson, she's made both of us feel comfortable. She communicates well with pics and updates, provides stimulating walks and enrichment, and respects when Dawson is anxious or needs space. Her dog, Hercules, is also very playful and good to Dawson. I will definitely use her again in the future.
Jennifer and her husband are wonderful caretakers. This was the first time we left our puppy with anyone outside the family and she loved them and I picked her up very happy. Jennifer was also very communicative and sent pictures throughout the day which we appreciated a lot. Would def recommend!!
Jasmin is an insanely good dogsitter/doggy daycare caretaker. She was really respectful upon meetup and my dog, Ida, is usually scared and shy but she wasn't when we met jasmin. Upon receiving Ida she was very calm. Jasmin said that Ida slept very well and I certainly believe her. I will be using jasmin in the near future
I needed a sitter last minute for my dog and managed to find Nina. She’s friendly and professional, She took amazing care of Ziggy,she kept me updated throughout the day and it was a really good match. She took him on walks and played with him he was very happy and tired when I picked him up I will be booking with her again.

FAQs for Doggy Day Care - Forest Hills
Frequently asked questions about Rover
The average cost for Doggy Day Care in Forest Hills on Rover is $42.8 per day (as of August 2026). However, all sitters set their own rates based on experience, location, and availability.
Rover makes budgeting the cost of Doggy Day Care 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 Doggy Day Care. For more information on service fees, click here .
As of August 2026, there are 11,467 sitters on Rover offering Doggy Day Care across Forest Hills. Enter your ZIP code to see which available sitters are closest to your home.
Sitters on Rover can offer flexible scheduling, so you can coordinate times that work best for you and your pet—whether that’s early drop-off or later pick-up to match your Forest Hills commute.
If your schedule changes, it’s best to let your sitter know through the app as early as possible. Many sitters can adjust pick-up and drop-off times when needed.
Think of doggy day care as your dog’s fun, supervised play date that happens to fit into your workday. Day care through Rover takes place in a real home. This offers a calmer and more personalized environment for your pup.
A typical day can include companionship, one-on-one attention, and same day pick-up and drop-off. Many sitters can also offer structured routines and exercise throughout the day. For recurring, weekly day care, sitters will include photo updates so you can see your dog in their element.
Here are tips for finding the ideal day care fit for your dog:
- For some small dogs: In-home day care can be the perfect fit. Look for sitters whose "can host" section only lists dogs weighing 0–7 kilograms and/or 7–18 kilograms. During your Meet & Greet, ask about play areas based on dog size and energy level.
- For high-energy dogs: The ideal doggy day care can offer scheduled breaks and outdoor spaces or activities. You can also find sitters who host multiple dogs to satisfy your pup’s socializing needs.
- For dogs who prefer human-only companionship: Use the filters "Doesn't own a dog" and "Only accepts one pet at a time" to find the right care.
Play groups can be an option when you book with a day care sitter through Rover. Many sitters do host a small number of dogs at the same time. Smaller dog packs are generally safer, more fun, and ideal for dogs who enjoy playtime but also want to relax throughout the day. When looking for your dog’s pack, check the sitter’s profile to see if they "Accept multiple clients" or have their own dogs. Then during the Meet & Greet, you can see whether your dog is a good fit for their social circle!
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.
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 .
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.
A Meet & Greet is a short introductory meeting between you, your dog, and a sitter. It can take place in person or virtually, although we recommend in-person so that your pet can get to know your sitter or the new environment. During the Meet & Greet, you will have a chance to walk through your pet's routine, medical needs, and unique quirks. Take the time to ask your sitter questions about their skills and expertise, and make sure the fit feels right for everyone. Most pet parents and sitters on Rover welcome Meet & Greets because the process can give confidence and peace of mind for service experiences, especially for longer stays or first-time bookings.
Yes, Rover is well-suited for finding sitters who can care for your pet within 24 hours. With 11,467 sitters in Forest Hills, 87% respond to messages in under an hour.
You can message multiple sitters simultaneously to find the fastest available match. If you need care today or tomorrow, you can look for sitters with a "calendar last updated" notice on their profiles.
Sitters on Rover set their own cancellation policy, which you can find on their profile under their calendar availability.
Cancelling before a booking begins and before the sitter's cutoff time qualifies you for a full refund. Same-day cancellations for walks, day care, and drop-ins follow the full refund policy. Otherwise, for dog boarding and house sitting, you will receive a 50% refund for the first seven days of the booking and a 100% refund for the remaining days when you cancel the same day a booking should begin.
If your sitter needs to cancel within seven days of the booking's start date, then our reservation protection will kick in. This means our support team works with you to find a replacement sitter.
