“I cannot recommend Yinuo enough! She was wonderful with our senior dog, Harlow. She sent pics and so many updates. I would definitely rebook!”
“Jelfri was amazing with Lottie. It was my first time leaving her with a sitter, so I was a little nervous, but he made me feel completely comfortable. He was very communicative and clearly really caring with her. I could tell she was in great hands. I would absolutely trust him with her again and highly recommend him. Thank you!”
“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%!”
“Mykala and her partner took great care of my dog Tails! It was a fairly last minute request for multiple days of boarding so I was very relieved to find good caregivers for him. They provided lots of updates and Tails enjoyed spending time with their dog Boots. I would book again!”
“Jen is amazing! She took care of my two senior dogs, Mister (13) and Nola (14) for two weeks while we were away on vacation. I was really nervous to use rover because they’ve never stayed with strangers before but Jen made me feel at ease at our meet and greet. The dogs made themselves right at home when we dropped the off. She made sure to send us tons of pictures and updates on what they were doing and how they were eating. It felt like we never really left them behind. When we I went to pick them up I could tell they really enjoyed their time there and got a good amount of play time and exercise. 10/10 experience for myself and the pups. I couldn’t recommend Jen more. Thanks again!!”
“Stella went absolutely above and beyond taking care of Bao for a long weekend. This was our first time leaving Bao with a boarder since getting her and I can't imagine anyone providing better care than Stella. We're so spoiled now! Stella sent very frequent and detailed updates each day and took Bao and her dog, Koukla on countless adventures during her stay. Stella is mindful about the number of dogs she has in her care at one time so she can give her undivided attention to your pup during their stay. It really felt like Bao was an honorary member of her family and we can't wait to send Bao back for another stay 🥰”
“Nicole took care of our young pup for a week and ensured he had a great time! We were worried how he would be in a new home, but Nicole took such good care of him. She was very communicative, texting and sending us pictures every day. Would definitely recommend Nicole!”
“I had the absolute best experience with Kylie and Kris! From the moment I dropped Lily off, I felt completely at ease. They were incredibly communicative and sent thoughtful daily updates with photos and little notes about how she was doing, which meant so much to me while I was away. It was clear she was truly pampered – she came home relaxed, happy, and so well looked after, which is the biggest testament to how wonderful they are. You can tell they genuinely love dogs and take their responsibility seriously. I would absolutely book with Kylie and Kris again in a heartbeat. Highly, highly recommend.”
“Marina and co. I had such a wonderful experience boarding my 11-year-old baby boy Golden Retriever. Leaving an older dog can always make you a little anxious, but they made the entire process incredibly reassuring and easy. My boy is very laid-back and just needs his walks, meals, and a calm environment, and they took such thoughtful care to make sure he was comfortable and relaxed. It was clear he was treated with genuine kindness and patience. More importantly, I really appreciated the updates and the peace of mind knowing he was in such caring hands. I would absolutely board with them again and highly recommend them to anyone looking for a reliable and compassionate dog sitter.”
“⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️ I can’t say enough good things about our dog sitter. She watched my dog for a full week and took excellent care of him. My dog is elderly and has a luxating patella in his back knee, and she was very attentive to his needs and limitations. She handled him carefully, made sure he was comfortable, and truly paid attention to his health. She kept us updated throughout the entire stay, which gave us so much peace of mind. When we picked him up, he was happy, calm, and clearly very well taken care of. On top of that, she even washed him the day before pickup, so he came home freshly cleaned, which was such a thoughtful touch. You can tell she genuinely cares about animals. I would 100% trust her again and highly recommend her to anyone looking for a responsible, loving dog sitter.”
“Margarita and Cristian were amazing with Milky! They provided daily updates with photos, videos, and messages, which gave me so much peace of mind while I was away. Margarita is incredibly sweet, and Milky looked happy and comfortable in every single picture. I could tell she really enjoyed her stay. I would highly recommend Margarita and Cristian to anyone looking for loving and reliable pet sitters!”
“Michelle did a wonderful job taking care of our doggo while we were away with plenty of pictures and texts. Our dog loved her stay with Michelle. We would definitely book her again for further accommodations!”
“Audrey and her boyfriend were very sweet with Bear and seemed to really like him. She was great with sending me pics and updates every day, even letting me face time with him once. My flight was also delayed coming home and she didn't make an issue out of it that I had to pick him up a few hours later than planned. Great experience!”
“Lilian was a truly amazing with our boy! She kept us updated with videos and pictures the entire time!! Maverick truly loved her! He was at home and truly felt secure with her! She is a true gem with our Maverick!”
“Alexandra was amazing. She was super responsive, easy to arrange pick up and drop off, and sent us lots of photos! When I pick my dog up from a sitter, it’s pretty easy to tell whether she had a good experience or not, and after picking her up she was relaxed and happy, it was clear that she was really well cared for. We will absolutely use Alexandra again!”
“Amanda and her husband were absolutely wonderful with our dog, Lexi! From the first message, they were kind, responsive, and genuinely caring. They sent updates and photos throughout the day, and it was clear Lexi felt completely comfortable with them, tail wags nonstop! They gave her so much attention and love. When we picked her up, she was happy, calm, and clearly well cared for. It’s so comforting to know that Lexi was treated like family while we were away. We’ll definitely reach out to Amanda again, highly recommend!”
“She was really nice and great! She took care of my cat with love and good care. I got a lot of pictures daily and even videos. Definitely I’ll choose her for the next time as well.”
“Anthony took such wonderful care of my 16-year-old pug last week and I’m so thankful for the love and attention he provided <3 At his age, my pug requires medication and special care and I felt completely at ease knowing Anthony was on top of everything. He over-communicated in the best way!!! Sent me updates and photos of my pup which gave me such peace of mind while I was away. Anthony actually came recommended by my sister, and with a last-minute work trip to London, I couldn’t have been happier with how smooth the experience was. Highly recommend Anthony for anyone looking for a sitter who is thoughtful and attentive.”

Jean is a fantastic pet sitter. She was very responsive and answered our texts quickly. She took excellent care of our dog while we were away. This was our first time using Jean and we were a little nervous at first but Jean quickly put us at ease with the photos and videos that she sent us daily. She even gave our dog a bath which was much appreciated. We will definitely use Jean in the future.
Winston didn’t even look back when we dropped him off. He’s always so excited to see Luis & Vanessa! We got lots of photo updates of Winston walking and playing with toys. Will always rebook with them whenever their schedule works with our travels. Thanks again for a great visit!
Thank you Julia! Trusting just anyone with my 16 yo westie is no small task and you far exceeded my expectations! Julia is so commutative and incredible with sending updates and photos and videos! Appreciate all her care and administering Zoe’s medication and would trust her in a heartbeat again with Zoe without hesitation!!
Maria was amazing! This was our first time leave our fur baby with someone who wasn’t family for a longer period of time and Maria couldn’t have made it easier! She was easy to coordinate with, stayed in contact the perfect amount while we were away, and Stella had a wonderful wonderful time. We will DEFINITELY be using her again! Thank you, Maria for taking care of our girl!
Linh is the best! Oreo absolutely loves her, and I always feel completely at ease leaving him in her care. She's reliable, attentive, and clearly treats him like her own. I also really appreciate how she keeps me updated throughout the stay with messages and photos, it gives me so much peace of mind. I couldn't recommend her more highly!
Mihika is an awesome pupsitter. Super communicative, sent lots of photos and updates and my pup had the best time with her. She administered medications easily and checked in with questions, as needed. Would def recommend and use Mihikas services again. Thank you!
Lu and Clay were the best sitters for our dachshund, Goose! They were super responsive and reliable from the meet and greet all the way through his stay. They have experience with dachshunds which gave us peace of mind while we were on our trip. We especially appreciated all the photos and updates!
Catalina was truly a last-minute lifesaver! She immediately put me at ease about leaving my boy Chip with someone new, and that feeling never changed throughout his two-night stay. She was communicative, her home was lovely, and I knew Chip was safe, happy, and well loved the entire time. I’ll definitely be booking with her again. Thank you so much!

Frequently asked questions about Rover
The average cost for Pet Boarding in Long Island City on Rover is $61.05 per night (as of July 2026). However, all sitters set their own rates based on experience, location, and availability.
Rover makes budgeting the cost of Pet 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 Pet Boarding. For more information on service fees, click here .
There are 14,469 sitters on Rover for Pet Boarding in Long Island City. About 88% of Long Island City sitters can respond to requests in under 60 minutes. Whether you’re planning ahead for holidays, need last-minute care, or need same-day coverage for an urgent trip, you can message multiple sitters at once to find available care.
Once you find the right match, you can arrange a Meet & Greet to ensure they are a perfect fit for your pet’s personality before confirming.
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.
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 pet, 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.
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. Cats may be required to have Feline Viral Rhinotracheitis and Rabies up to date.
By discussing your pet's health history early, you’re adding a layer of confidence for you and your sitter before the booking begins.
Emergency support is available by phone or email in English 24/7. When an incident occurs, we recommend that sitters contact our Trust & Safety team immediately so that they can connect your sitter with a board-certified veterinarian or offer other resources to help.
If a sitter needs to cancel at the last minute, Rover’s reservation protection means our team will work with you to find a suitable replacement as quickly as possible.
