“Honestly, she’s more than amazing. She’s guided me to become a better puppy mom as a first time dog owner. Sungmin got out of her way to pick up my dog at 6am in morning almost everyday!!! If that doesn’t show you, her love for dogs idk what will. She sends me pictures & videos throughout the whole day and keeps you updated on everything. My pup loves her and her other dogs so much! So grateful for her. Book her please. Your dog will be in the best hands. 🫶🏼”
“Tania is very responsive and very flexible with the pick up and drop off schedule, which makes my day much easier. My dog looks having a good time from the pictures shared during the day”
“I had a great experience with Antonio. He took excellent care of my two French bulldogs, Leo and Gnocchi. They came back home happy and well care for. Antonio was always very responsive and kept me updated with photos and messages throughout the day. I’d definitely trust him with my dogs again and highly recommend him to anyone looking for someone trustworthy and reliable.”
“Angelina and Donald took wonderful care of my two Vizslas. I could not be happier. I was visiting New York for the day and needed someone to look after my two very active dogs for the afternoon. I was a little nervous about leaving them because they can be a lot to handle and are not accustomed to the city, but I had absolutely nothing to worry about. Angelina and Donald took them on a five-hour adventure through Central Park and then east to Andrew Haswell Green Park. Angelina sent photos throughout the walk, so I could see how much fun they were having. She also fed them exactly as requested and had them ready when I arrived for pickup. The dogs were tired, happy, and clearly adored Angelina and Donald. I will definitely book with Angelina again the next time I am in the city.”
“Zemei is amazing with Remi! She is very accommodating and is willing to watch Remi for long hours. I can trust Zemei with Remi and have peace of mind while I’m away. Remi is always excited to go over for daycare. Highly recommend.”
“Wonderful. Super accommodating last minute. We had a babysitter cancel and she really helped us out and made sure Merlot was comfortable and taken care of. Recommend !”
“Our pup had a great time with Michelle! She was happy to play and go on many walks. Definitely tired by the time we picked her up. We would certainly use Michelle again for doggy day care in the future.”
“Hua took great care of my puppy for two weeks (weekdays from 8am–7pm), and I couldn’t have asked for a better sitter. She is incredibly gentle and patient, and you can truly tell she cares. She always kept my puppy clean and comfortable. On rainy or snowy days, she would thoughtfully wash her paws and blow them dry. Most importantly, my puppy came home happy every single day. That alone tells me she felt safe and well cared for. I really appreciate Hua’s kindness and the wonderful company she gave my puppy.”
“Gina was very flexible and great with dogs. Lulu got plenty of walk and played with Gina’s dog. Will definitely ask Gina for help again in the future!”
“Jiaxu saved us: we needed last minute care for our little Shih Tzu and Jiaxu gave him such excellent, accommodating care. We’re so grateful for her professionalism and flexibility!”
“Sonia is amazing! Dalbit loved her space - I feel good knowing he has a great outdoor area to play. She sent me tons of videos and photos during the day. Definitely recommend her!”
“We got so lucky to find Kimberly! She was wonderful with our senior dog Bella for dog daycare, despite Bella having a few special needs. She was easy to coordinate with, sent pictures throughout the day, and had fantastic communication throughout. We came back to a happy pup. Highly recommend!”

Dog parents share their Rover experiences - Long Island City
Abby was incredibly sweet with my anxious senior dog. She sent pics and updates throughout the day and was extremely responsive and communicative. She even went above and beyond to drop him off at my work to save me the trip of going to pick him up. I would definitely book with Abby again!
Shelby was great with my nervous dog Tater! Although he takes some time to warm up to new people, she made him feel comfortable and he was giddily jumping up on her by the end of the week. Communication and was fast and easy and she was flexible when my schedule shifted slightly. Would love to have her watch Tater again!
Ended up doing a back-to-back appointments across two consecutive days with Jisu and she made the process such a breeze! I could tell Kongie was doing great from all the updates sent throughout the day and it was evident that she was relaxed and feeling settled in. Thank you for everything and hope to cross paths again🥰🙏
I had last-minute birthday dinner plans and was so happy to connect with Sharmistha! She was conveniently close by and incredibly accommodating. I heard Luna got plenty of her favorite belly rubs, which was such a sweet surprise! Thank you so much for taking such good care of my little one and making the evening so easy. Highly recommend!
I have been very happy with my doggy daycare experiences with Tingly! Bailey seems to really enjoy his experiences there! He is always happy to go there and that says a lot when it comes to him! Communication and flexibility are always excellent! So glad to find them!

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 Long Island City 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 11,390 sitters in Long Island City, 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.
