“James was a thorough, kind and responsible pet sitter for our dog Perry! He gave me updates throughout the day and was so kind to us when we needed a few extra days of dogsitting. I highly recommend him to anyone who wants a caring, compassionate and loving dog sitter!”
“Nicole was great with Charlotte! She sent me pics throughout our trip and was extremely flexible when we had an unexpected travel snafu. I so appreciated knowing Charlotte waa in good hands!”
“David was amazing! Communication was consistent and adorable and I really felt like Roman was welcomed into his family. He was amazingly chill when I picked him up, not straining to get to me like he usually is, which I think says it all about the excellent care he received at David’s home. I would recommend him to anyone!”
“Bridget was great. Took excellent care of Bella. We were very nervous and worried, but things worked out great. Process was smooth and no complaints.”
“I am one satisfied customer. Ryan took excellent care of my dog for one week. He stayed in contact with me for the duration of the week via text and emails. Ryan sent several pictures not to mention asking questions pertaining to my dogs needs. He is an excellent dog sitter. Trust me when I tell you booking him is a fantastic choice!!!”
“Gustavo’s home was the perfect place for our Seymour. Everyone was so kind and sweet to our dog. We found comfort in the level of communication and updates, and could tell everyone was so intentional and thoughtful. Highly recommend! So grateful we’ve found them!”
“My dog had a great weekend with Adam and his dog Hermes! Adam took them out on walks/ dog park multiple times daily, and provided plenty of updates and pics. He even let my dog sleep on the bed! Highly recommend Adam, especially for small dogs!”
“Wes is just awesome. He took in my dog, Jack, for 2 weeks while I was abroad. Wes knew I was anxious and it was my first time leaving my baby for that length of time. He was super kind, responsive, and sent me tons of photos and videos. I felt so relieved knowing Jack was having the best time running around, and cuddling (his two favorite activities). Wes was even understanding when my flight was delayed because of the IT outage, and I had to pick up Jack late. Thank you so much! Highly recommend Wes!”
“Kamil did a great job taking care of Cooper for a week. She kept me updated with photos and videos. I would definitely use Kamil the next time I go away on vacation and need a dog sitter.”

“Flora did a wonderful job with Cece. Cece gets very sad when we leave, but Cece was so sad to leave Flora. Pictures and updates were on the regular. Cece was truly cared for well while we were away, I will definitely be reaching out again when the time arises.”

I would leave my dog in her care again and would definitely recommend her to other pet parents. 😊 Thanks, Jiaxu!”
“Jefra watched Finnegan while my mom and I went out for a day trip and she was so wonderful! Ryan was out traveling, but Jefra took a beautiful portrait of Finnegan and he made friends on walks and with the neighbor across the hall! He was very happy when we picked him up. I’ll definitely be booking with them again.”
“Finding Mariana was such a blessing. I could tell from the moment I met her that I made the right choice. She is so kind, gives tons of daily updates, and even came and picked up and dropped off Parker from my house. I will definitely be calling her again to watch Parker!”

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.
Angel is truly a wonderful person: kind, caring and exceptionally attentive. He showed incredible patience, gentleness and understanding towards my dog Benny, who can be quite challenging and has had some difficult and traumatic experiences. What I appreciated most was the genuine care he showed throughout Benny's stay. Every single day, Angel kept me updated, sending me lots of lovely photos and messages so I could see how Benny was doing. This gave me great peace of mind and made me feel that Benny was in very good hands. It takes a special person to understand and care for a dog like Benny, and Angel really went above and beyond. His kindness, patience and genuine love for animals made all the difference. I am truly grateful for everything he did. I couldn't have asked for a better person to look after Benny. I wholeheartedly recommend Angel! Sandra R.
This was my first time leaving Bosh with someone else, so I was a little nervous at first, but Ronald was great! Bosh stayed with him for 7 days, and I kept updated throughout his stay. He was always quick to respond whenever I reached out, which really put my mind at ease. I’m so happy I found someone I can trust to take care of Bosh. Ronald will definitely be my go-to sitter from now on. Thank you again for taking such good care of him!
Jisu was a wonderful sitter for my dog Lolli. She and her husband took great care of her and sent me regular photos and videos. She is a little dog with a big personality and they really got her and enjoyed having her. When I picked her up it was smooth sailing--no adjustment period--a sure sign that she received plenty of attention and love. Thank you Jisu and Caleb!
Lorenzo and his wife are so lovable, I knew once I met them in person my pup was in amazing hands! My longtime dog sitter wasn't available for this particular stay and i was hesitant to book since I recently did not have the most positive stay with another rover booking earlier this month. However, Lorenzo made me feel at ease. Once booked, for a 5 day stay… I got daily updates with multiple pictures that help ease my questioning if they were the right pair to watch my dog. I had to change last minute arrangements and meet Lorenzo after midnight from my flight home and he was accommodating and said yes without hesitation. I would 100% book Lorenzo again. Lorenzo is perfect for senior dogs and would highly recommend!
Laura was wonderful with Oliver! She was attentive, sweet, and very accommodating to my requests. She kept me updated throughout the stay, which gave me great peace of mind. Ollie seemed very comfortable with her, and I would absolutely book with her again. Highly recommend!
I cannot recommend James highly enough! He truly went above and beyond for Dexter and me during an incredibly stressful situation. While I was traveling internationally, another sitter unexpectedly canceled after already accepting Dexter into their care and keeping him for the first night. James stepped in at the very last minute without hesitation. He even drove to another borough, late at night and in the rain, to pick Dexter up and make sure he was safe and cared for. He also gave Dexter a much needed bath after the previous sitter had left him dirty. What really sets James apart is his patience, kindness, and genuine love for animals. Dexter was welcomed into his home with open arms, and his wife and children treated him like a member of their own family. Knowing Dexter was surrounded by so much love and attention gave me tremendous peace of mind while I was thousands of miles away. James is everything you could hope for in a sitter. Compassionate, dependable, thoughtful, and quite literally went the extra mile to care for Dex! I’m beyond grateful that he turned such a difficult situation into such a positive experience. If you’re looking for someone who will truly treat your pet like family, James is your person. Five stars aren’t enough!

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 Jackson Heights 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 Jackson Heights 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 Jackson Heights.
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 Jackson Heights. 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 Jackson Heights 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.
