“I can not say how thankful I am for Angela watching my little Sophie! She was so accommodating and took very good care of her while I was out of town! I was kept very much in the loop and she sent me the most amazing photos of her too! I would definitely recommend Angela to any Rover user and would book her again in a heartbeat.”
“Sherry and Walter looked after our little puppy Figo for a night, and were fantastic sitters! They played with him, made him feel very comfortable with lots of snuggles, took him on a lovely walk and sent us lots of updates throughout. We’d recommend them highly!”
“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%!”
“Matheus was amazing at watching our two dogs. He was constantly sending updates and photos, knew what they needed, and gave them their own little vacation! I am already planning on booking with him again and would trust him with my dogs anytime.”
“Each time we leave Nutmeg in Euitae’s hands we know she will receive the best care and love. She loves staying there and her walks in the park, and we love the photos, communication and updates.”
“Adam was great! It was the first time we were away from our puppy over night and we were very nervous. He took great care of her and sent us videos everyday! Will definitely use him again:)”
“I just left my 2 y/o Yorkie boy for a couple of hours as an introductory experience, and he was fine. Apparently had no problems with the other dogs there. Michael and his wife were very responsive and accommodating. I plan to use them again for an over night stay unless I find someone closer to me, and I recommend them.”
“I’m a kind of crazy pet parent with a 10 page dogsitting guide. Kiersten read the whole thing, remembered every detail, texted to make sure of things… She was amazing. Highly, highly recommended!”
“Lal took great care of my senior shih Tzu Oliver. She sent lots of pictures and videos throughout his stay and was always very responsive when I needed to contact her”
“Sabrina took wonderful care of my dog. I had to book the boarding last minite, but Sabrina was very accommodating. She responded to my messages quickly and also kept sending me photos of how my dog was doing which gave me peace of mind. When I was picking him up, Sabrina explained in detail how he ate, slept, walked and behaved during the stay. This proved to me that Sabrina paid a lot of attention to my dog. Most dog sitters in my experience didn't share this much detail. I highly recommend Sabrina!”
“Bridget really helped me out when I needed a last minute sitter! She was very quick to respond to all messages and sent photos throughout my dog’s stay with her. I would definitely use Bridget again.”
“Michelle is lovely and our dog was so happy to be with her for a week! We really appreciated that she was able to work from home so our dog wasn’t alone for too long. Michelle sent photos and updates daily. I would definitely book with her again.”
“Ryan was so kind and attentive to Poppy!! I had issues with my travel and ended up being away longer than I was supposed to and he cooked food for her!”
“Where to even begin? Onelsis gave A+++ care to Diggory and Dottie - if you want to go on a trip or vacation without worry, Onelsis is the person who will take care of your baby/babies like they are her own. Diggory and Dottie made themselves at home and enjoyed every minute with her, and I didn't have to worry about them even for a second while being OOT for over a week. They slept with her every night, she literally CARRIED Dottie (my little one who has refused to walk outside ever since she got a haircut) on morning and evening walks, and more - I know they will miss her a lot. What is even better is that though her care giving was like a mother, she treats her dog sitting very professionally - I received tons of updates daily, extremely detailed pre and closing messages for our booking, etc. She is a true pro - we will definitely be back!! Thank you Onelsis :)”
“Jelfri has become my go to when it comes to pet sitters for my dog when I’m out of town. He takes awesome care of Meatball and is always super responsive. Couldn’t recommend more!”
“We picked up our large malamute Junie and she was the calmest we had seen her, clearly very happy. Communication with Anton was very easy and he sent several pictures throughout the stay. Will book again!”
“David housed and took care of Elly while I was away for 15 days. He consistently updated me with photos and message about how Elly was doing, walked her regularly, and took her to the park numerous times. If Elly needs a sitter in the future, I hope David is available!”
“I have a high-energy rescue dog, so finding a sitter who can care for him can be challenging. MintZhet was super great for caring for Sanji. He sent daily messages and photos, and let us know if there were any changes to his routine, such as rainy days cutting his walks short, or changes in my dog's appetite, etc. Overall, great sitter and would definitely reach out again. Sanji had a great time.”
“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 😁🐾🙏”

Dog parents share their Rover experiences - Long Island City
I cannot say enough good things about my experience with Siara. My dog is my world, and I know that I am quite the worrisome helicopter pet parent. That being said, I trust Siara with my dog, Rosie, whole heartedly. Thank you, Siara, for all of your help watching Rosie this summer. She loves you and your family so much!!!
Susan was absolutely wonderful! Our Lenny is very shy and nervous around new people. Susan was so patient with Lenny during his overnight stay in her apartment. She sent us many updates and pictures knowing that Lenny was a bit anxious to be away from us. We would highly recommend Susan due to her warm nature and care for animals. We’re excited to have Lenny continue to build a relationship with her!
Remy had another great weekend with Ethel! She gave us a good recommendation for a pupsicle enrichment toy that Remy loved while boarding with her, we’re excited to buy one of our own for him. Loved her photo updates throughout the weekend as usual! Thanks again Ethel!
Deep and Imogen took great care of our senior Beagle mix, Saarinen. They sent a lot of photos and even helped him celebrate his 13th birthday! Their dog Leo is very sweet, and all three of them welcomed Saar into their home. Saar had a great time, and we would love to have him stay with them again.
Eunice took great care of my dog Maddox while I was traveling! The coordination and pre-meetup was seamless and she asked detailed questions to ensure that his routine was followed. I got regular updates from her about Maddox and he looked very happy to be in her care. She was also flexible with me for pick-up when I returned home from my trip.
We had such a great experience with William! He took amazing care of Jax while we were out of the country for a week. We got regular updates and photos, which gave us so much peace of mind while we were away. Jax was happy and well cared for, and we couldn’t have asked for a better sitter. We’ll definitely book again!
I can't recommend Pamela highly enough if you need a dog-sitter! During the meet & greet, it was clear that she loves dogs: her home is perfectly set up for pups, and she takes care to make sure that the dogs she watches are friendly & compatible. She sent pictures twice a day & quickly responded to every message I sent, and was accommodating with pick-up. If I ever need dog-sitting again, I'm definitely sending my guy back to his friends Pamela & Dudley.
Zach watched our dog for a week after a bit of a last-minute request, and we are so lucky he did. From the first meet-up he asked all the right questions, showed so much care for our dog, and was great with communication. Our dog had a great week with him and we appreciated Zach’s photos and updates. Will definitely be using him again.
Ruby had a wonderful stay with Rikki! She took such great care of Ruby and gave us regular updates throughout the weekend, which made it so much easier to relax while we were away. It was clear from the photos and messages that she genuinely cared about Ruby and made sure she was happy and comfortable. We would absolutely book with Rikki again and highly recommend her!
Duke loves spending time at Anthony’s place with his pug, Dulce, when we go out of town! As soon as we exit the train in his part of the neighborhood, Duke drags us straight to his place as fast as he can. This behavior alone tells us that he is both treated well and thoroughly enjoys his time there. Anthony and his girlfriend always sends us updates, photos and videos. Definitely recommend!

FAQs for Boarding - Long Island City
Frequently asked questions about Rover
The average cost for Dog Boarding in Long Island City on Rover is $63 per night (as of August 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 August 2026, there are 14,096 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.
96% 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.
