“John and his family are absolutely amazing. I left Iroh with him for a full week and didn’t worry once! He sent pics and kept me updated throughout my trip, which really put my mind at ease! 100000/10 would recommend!!!”
“Ashley was so amazing - she went above and beyond to make sure my dogs were cared for (especially when my little pup was having stomach issues unexpectedly). Nothing phased her and she was super communicative along the way. Can’t recommend her enough. Trust her 100%!”

We booked Roman last minute and he was excellent! Frequent videos, pictures, and updates of Jobi were incredibly reassuring as this was his first time staying with someone other than a friend/family member. So glad we have someone reputable in the neighborhood to watch our pup!
Ethyl was so amazing. She did so many fun adventures with Facci and showed her a ton of love while at home. I needed dog sitting very last minute and she was made me feel much more relaxed. Facci seemed so at home and was having a lot of fun and also was able to feel relaxed when I was away. Loved all the pics and videos and updates. I can’t recommend Ethyl enough.
Christina and Stefan took incredible care of our senior pup, Milo, for a full week, and we couldn't have asked for better sitters! From start to finish, their communication, attentiveness, and genuine love for animals shone through. They handled pick-up and drop-off seamlessly, taking extra care to pace their walk with regular breaks so Milo wouldn't get overexerted. Throughout the stay, they provided frequent photo and video updates, keeping us completely at ease while we were away. Milo had an absolute blast—whether he was sunbathing, visiting the dog park, getting brushed, receiving belly rubs, or even joining them on coffee runs for special treats! They even thoughtfully cooked sweet potatoes for him as dog-safe treats. What impressed us most was how attentive and gentle they were with Milo’s senior needs: When he had an accidental bladder leakage while sleeping, they immediately gave him a gentle shower, dried him off carefully, kept him cozy beside them, and closely monitored him while giving us clear, reassuring updates. When they noticed him shaking his head and scratching his ear, they gently cleaned it to relieve his discomfort. When he was licking his paws in the evening, they thoughtfully rinsed his paws with warm water before bed so he could sleep soundly. They never hesitated to accommodate his schedule—even taking him out at 4:30 AM when nature called! Christina and Stefan treated Milo like family. We are so grateful for their exceptional care and would rebook them in a heartbeat. Highly recommended to anyone looking for compassionate, trustworthy, top-notch pet care!
Devon was great with Max! She kept us updated and sent photos throughout his stay, which we really appreciated. Max was a very nervous at first, and she was very patient and understanding with him and helped him settle in. We felt very comfortable knowing he was in good hands. Thank you, Devon!
Gina is wonderful! She treats my baby Shiba Inu’s so well, especially my older Shibas who’s very anxious and scared of everything around her. She gives them the care and attention that they need, and I can tell that they feel comfortable around her. Guaranteed to book her again. 🐕
Kelsey was an absolute delight to work with. She was easy, accommodating, friendly, and most importantly took very good care of my French bulldog Dolores. My dog takes a specific person to watch her and I was very open with Kelsey about it and Kelsey in return was so good about everything and made my weekend away Seamless. I will absolutely be using Kelsey again in the near future.
Sorayah was absolutely wonderful! My dog stayed with her for 7 weeks, and it was clear from all the photos and videos that she was having the best time. Sorayah sent me the sweetest updates throughout her stay, which made being away from my pup for so long so much easier. She also did a great job keeping up with my dog’s various medications and supplements, which gave me a lot of peace of mind. Most importantly, my dog absolutely loved her and came home happy and well cared for. I’m so grateful to have found Sorayah and will definitely be reaching out to her again the next time I travel. I wouldn’t hesitate to recommend her to anyone looking for someone kind, reliable, and genuinely caring to look after their pup!
Emma was wonderful with Amigo! She was very communicative, sent frequent photos and updates, and even took him to the park, which he absolutely loves. It gave us great peace of mind knowing he was happy, comfortable, and so well cared for during our weekend away. We would happily book with Emma again!
Alexandra was a superstar, literally the best and most accommodating person (not just sitter!) that we could’ve hoped for. She was attentive, responsible, and loving with her care of our dog, and she even created some silly, cute memories for him. I wouldn’t hesitate at all to book again with her. If she’s available, sprint to book her!

Frequently asked questions about Rover
The average cost for Dog Boarding in Long Island City on Rover is $64.17 per night (as of September 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 September 2026, there are 14,045 sitters on Rover offering Dog Boarding across Long Island City. 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 Long Island City 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 Long Island City 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 Long Island City 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 Long Island City.
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 Long Island City 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.
