“Our dog had another wonderful stay with Seung whan. She always enjoys her time with him and we are grateful for his updates, flexibility and responsiveness. Huge thanks again!”
“Bridget was absolutely amazing with my fur baby. We were on a business trip and my pup was having a hard time adjusting to the hotel and a new environment. Bridget was able to give him a comfortable place to stay for a couple of days, and he felt right at home. I would highly recommend Bridget. She was a life saver during my trip to the city.”
“Me and my pup Vinny always choose Miki when I have to go away. Miki responds super fast and has even accommodated me last minute also. Thank you Miki we love you!”
“Dontae was amazing with Kira. I was abroad and needed someone to take care of her in a pinch and he was very accommodating. He regularly sent updates and made sure Kira was comfortable. His dog seemed to be very chill and got along with Kira. Will definitely book again, thank you again for your help Dontae!”
“Natasha is absolutely wonderful. So thorough and communicative. We were so lucky to find them. Zeus and Cleo were very well cared for and they loved their time with Natasha and Chris. They are the absolute best!”

“Qing took care of my two poms for a weeks and she was the best. She kept me inform about how their were doing, she sent me pictures and videos every single day during their daily walks. She went above and beyond on making sure they had a great time with her and kept me informed during their entire time. Thank you!!”
“Elena was able to take Kiwi last minute while I had a family emergency. Not only was she able to step in, she did an amazing job with Kiwi. I knew Kiwi was safe, all her meds were given to her exactly as needed and she got all of her daily walks! I got updates and pictures, Kiwi had a great time with her 🩷 I would absolutely use Elena again, I feel lucky to have found her. I highly recommend Elena for any pup but she did especially great with my sensitive, high maintenance girl.”
“I am so happy to have found Tamara. For the first time, I feel secured and unworried when I leave Kiko for vacation. Tamara reassured and stayed in communication with me. I was impressed she was able to get Kiko to befriend a poodle. Kiko has been scared these days because we recently lost two other dogs that she's been with since birth. I could tell Kiko had a great time and I would book Tamara again and again! Very accommodating and flexible. I truly enjoyed my experience with T.”
“Jen is the absolute best. Super accommodating and loving. My dog was so relaxed when she came home. It was if she was on a spa vacation. Lots of photos and communication from her. Will rebook asap!”
“10/10 service! Jeannie is professional, communicative, and has an obvious natural way with animals. My picky girl took to her instantly, and I felt completely confident leaving things in her hands. She also sent me the most adorable pics. You won't regret booking for your next trip!”
“Sanaz was great with my dog Whitney! She was super flexible and communicative while I was away. I had no doubt that my pup was in great care the whole time. Will definitely be using her services again!”
“Kecia is fantastic! She is kind and attentive to Olly so I always feel like he is in good hands. I also appreciate how communicative she is. My flight home was delayed so i needed to have a friend pick up Olly and Kecia was flexible in handing him off. I was super stressed at first but she went above and beyond to help us!”
“Laura was amazing! I will be booking again! She is so careful, thoughtful, kind and responsive! Shmoopzie loved her so much she almost didnt want to leave!! Couldn’t recommend her more :)”

Priyanka was so sweet with Frank! She was very communicative and sent tons of photos throughout. We could tell Frank settled in right away because he was immediately cuddling up to her! We appreciate all the love Priyanka gave Frank and would be more than happy to leave him with her again!
Sadly this is the last review I can leave for these 2 amazing sitters. This past weekend my best friend Coco of 15 years made her final journey. Knowing this would be the day, I was able to have Coco stay with Louis and Vanessa one last time the week before, and I had to break the sad news to them. They had watched Coco so many times over the past few years. When it was time to pick Coco up, they told me of all the amazing kind things they did for Coco to make her last stay with them unforgettable. We cried together as I picked her up. When you look for a sitter on Rover, you want someone to watch your pet and care for them the way you would. I can honestly say that Louis and Vanessa very clearly fit this and I hope in reading this review you do not hesitate to have them watch yours.
Lily was absolutely wonderful with Henry! She watched him for a weekend at her home, and I couldn’t have asked for a better sitter. From the beginning, she was incredibly communicative and kept me updated throughout his stay with lots of photos and videos, which gave me so much peace of mind. Henry can be quite anxious and has a harder time adjusting to new people and environments, so I was especially grateful that Lily took the time to understand his anxieties and make sure he felt comfortable and cared for. She was patient, attentive, and genuinely caring with him, and she went above and beyond to make his stay a positive experience. She also took him on long walks and made sure he got plenty of attention and exercise. What really stood out to me was how calm and comfortable Henry was when I picked him up. He was also warm and friendly towards Lily, which is a huge deal because Henry is usually not very comfortable or friendly with strangers. Seeing how comfortable he was with her made me feel confident that he had been in great hands. Lily is kind, responsible, communicative, and clearly loves and cares about the dogs she watches. I felt completely at ease knowing Henry was with her, and I would absolutely use her again. I highly recommend Lily to anyone looking for someone who will treat their pet with genuine care, patience, and kindness! ☺️☺️
James was absolutely wonderful with Mika! He watched him for 4 nights/5 days and gave me daily updates, which really put my mind at ease while I was away. I could tell from his communication and actions that Mika was genuinely well cared for. What really stood out to me was how attentive James was to Mika’s health. He noticed that something seemed wrong with Mika’s eye and even contacted Rover to inquire about it. That showed me that he was paying close attention, took the situation seriously, and genuinely cared about Mika’s well-being. I felt completely comfortable knowing Mika was in James’s care, and I would highly recommend James to anyone looking for a responsible, caring, and communicative sitter. Mika was in great hands!
Adhanika took excellent care of my Joy! She was attentive, communicative, and made sure Joy felt comfortable and loved. Adhanika and her family are so sweet and caring, and I really appreciated knowing that Joy had plenty of company, affection, and attention during her stay. I would happily trust Adhanika with Joy again!
Franky had so much fun staying with Anthony, Sofiya, and Dulce! We received tons of photos and videos of Franky hanging out, playing, and snuggling. They really put our minds at ease while we were away. They were also very considerate of Franky’s needs, especially with carrying him up and down the stairs to protect his long back. I would absolutely recommend to anyone and I would definitely book again, thank you!!!

There are 14,510 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.

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.
