“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!”
“John is a great Rover while he watched Pisco for a couple of days. He responds quickly, and we enjoyed his daily pics on how Pisco is doing. Thank you!”

“Caterina was terrific with Fala! She sent updates and photos + videos throughout Fala's two night stay and despite generally stormy weather, got Fala out as much as possible. I look forward to booking with Caterina again!”
“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%!”
“Tiffany was great with Lou. Lou had a sensitive stomach problems that required some dietary changes and diligence. Tiffany was very diligent, communicative and friendly.”
“Euitae was the best dog sitter I’ve ever had. Euitae was responsive and so so attentive and caring for my senior guy, Jack, taking Jack for lots of walks and adventures in the park, and even a dog café where Jack got to make new friends. I’m so incredibly grateful for Euitae and 1000% recommend him as a sitter! I can’t wait to call Euitae again, Jack had an AMAZING time.”
“They did such a wonderful job taking care of my fur child while I went on vacation. My fur child enjoyed her time with them. She’s happy. They did some nice touches like giving her a small mini groom, supplemented her food with some freshly cooked food (of course I ok’ed it).”
“I have a senior dog with some specific needs and Jiaxu took great care of her while I was away! She sent me photos, videos and updates every day and made sure to clarify any questions she had so that she could take the best care of my dog. I would leave my dog in her care again and would definitely recommend her to other pet parents. 😊 Thanks, Jiaxu!”
“Sabrina was amazing with magnolia! I’ve had unfavorable Rover experiences in the past so planned ahead and did a meet and greet. I could tell instantly how warm and genuine she is- she even read up on the notes before that meeting. I felt super comfortable heading into our weekend away. During the weekend she gave several updates and was generous with photos/ videos all descriptive of magnolias characteristics. I knew Magnolia loved her stay with Sabrina when I picked her up and she kept looking back for her to walk away with us! I will absolutely book with her again whenever she’s free!”
“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.”
“Lillian was the absolute sweetest with Mango! You can tell she’s a true dog lover no matter what. It was great to see Mango warm up to Lillian and Picasso so quickly. He truly felt comfortable and at home with her.”
“Vasiliki is amazing with Kira. My dog is a bit anxious but she loves Vasiliki and looks forward to staying with her all the time! She is super responsive and sends me frequent updates about Kira during her stay. Vasiliki was very accommodating of accepting Kira for a last minute request as well. Kind and responsible, will continue to have Vasiliki take care of Kira moving forward! 🙂”
“Highly recommend Hongquan and Annie! They took such great care of Monty on his overnight stay. Should the opportunity present itself, I will definitely use them again! They were great communicators and they sent some really nice photos. Thanks again guys.”
About: I’ve had cats and dogs my whole life and love caring for animals. I’ve fostered 14 cats, including kittens, undersocialized cats, and cats recovering from surgery, as well as fostered two dogs. I’ve also been a neighborhood dog walker and have cared for family pets. I’m comfortable with animals of all ages and personalities and always make sure they feel safe, happy, and well cared for. I work from home, which gives me a flexible schedule and allows me to accommodate different pet care needs. I’m happy to work around your pet’s routine and provide consistent, reliable care based on what works best for you and your pet. I have my own cat at home, so pets staying in my home must be comfortable and get along well with cats. I always prioritize safety and make sure every pet has a calm, comfortable environment while in my care. For pets who aren’t comfortable around cats, I’m happy to provide care in their home instead.

Cedric was amazing! He already had a full dog setup at his place and was clearly very experienced in caring for dogs. He provided regular updates and was extremely responsive throughout the stay. My younger pup is a bit of a handful, but Cedric did a wonderful job ensuring he got plenty of walks and playtime. I 100% recommend him and would love to book him again!"
Sherry & Walter were amazing with my nervous rescue, Lula! She takes her time warming up to people and by the time we picked her up she was sleeping in their bed and clearly so comfortable in their home. They provided daily updates making us feel very confident in Lulas progress. We will definitely be booking with them for our next trip.
This was the first time our dog was in a non-facility boarding stay for more than 1 day, and we are incredibly happy with how things went. Angela was amazing, communicative, and we were able to tell our dog was very comfortable and happy for our 8 day vacation based the updates she frequently shared with us. Very happy we found Angela!!
Yuliia was AMAZING! She took such good care of Mabel that we joked that the dog had a better vacation than we did. She sent lots of pics and videos, took our dog on lots of adventures, and we could tell Mabel adapted to her vacation lifestyle right away because she was comfortable eating right away (unusual for her in a new place!) and came home happy and tuckered out. Yuliia also provided pick up and drop off free of charge - can’t recommend her enough, and Mabel can’t wait until the next time we go out of town!
Had a wonderful experience with Anaheed: my pup Zoe took to her right away and she was super easy to communicate with (sharing photos too, which I really appreciated). It made a huge difference for me to know that Zoe was being cared for by someone I trusted 1000%. Would highly recommend and will definitely book with Anaheed again!
Isabella was lovely! Our 9 month old pup loved her. She responded quickly to any questions, shared plenty of updates and photos while we were away, and was flexible when our plans changed. Our dog can be high-energy at times since she's still young, but Isabella was great at dealing with it. We would absolutely book with her again.
I'm so happy I found Paola. If you're looking for someone who will go above and beyond your expectations in caring for your dog, she's the person you want. It was my first time using Rover, and I was nervous about finding the right person to watch our dog, Milli. When I came across Paola and saw how happy another user was with the way she cared for their dog, I decided to take a chance. First, she made the effort to come meet Milli to see if they would be a good fit. I was running late because the NYC trains have no mercy, but she waited for me so the meetup could happen. Milli instantly took a liking to her, and we agreed it would be a great fit. Second, she came to our home to pick Milli up, which was really professional and saved me the time of bringing Milli to her. Third, she kept us updated on everything Milli was doing: how many walks they took, how many times Milli went to the bathroom, how they were hanging out together, the whole nine yards. Paola is such a sweet, outgoing professional, and I'm really happy to have met her and trusted her with our dog. I highly recommend her services, and I'll definitely be booking her again.

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.
